to an Influence that was brought. to bear
by people who wanted the license. The
church made a determined fight and

Although the blizzard Is somewhat of a
chestnut, pue can hardly go into a place
where men congregate unless ho hears
reminiscences and experiences. It is need
less to say that in many instances the
stories have a decided Munchausen flavor
and would be a decided credit to the old
Barou himself.
The New York newspapers say that one
of the mom distressing features of the
protracted-cold weather Is the scarcity of
coal. That Is funny. One of the most
distressing' featurei in the coal regions Is
that the riiloe operators don't give the
miners n chance to mine the coal. One
part of the country suffers because there
is no coal for use, and another part suffers
because it Is not allowed to mine it. Thtre

A well-known "gentleman of town was
complimenting the tailor on some mend

course of the conversation he, however,
Incautiously observed : "When I want a
good coat made I go to Philadelphia ;
they make them there." Before leaving
the shop he inquired "By the way, do you
attend my church i" "No," replied the
tailor, "when 1 want to hear a good
sermon I go to Philadelphia ; they preach
them there."
The storm of the past few days played
havoc with the feathered tribe. Many
sparrowB were frozen to death, though
they are looked upon as the hardiest birds
In this section. A West Line street man
came across a wild duck which had been
carried out of Its course and was almost
frozen ta death. The fowl was picked up
and after being thawed out and fed re
vived nnd is now as lively as over. Many
other fowl suffered by the storm, and It Is

Many a good item of news is lost to the

THEY OPPOSED
ARBITRATION
Proceedings at the Borough Coun
cil's Special Meeting.
SEVERAL BILLS REJECTED.
The Investigating Committee Wanted the
Qulnn & Kerns Matters Arbitrated.
Council Objected.
The Borough Council held a special
meeting last night to consider and dis
pose of bills contracted in the construe;
tion of the public water works and which
have been laid over from time to time
pending Investigation. The session was
quite a lively one and the members seemed
evenly divided on all the points brought
to issue.
An effort to bring about an arbitration
of some of the claims was defeated after
a wordy warfare. This point waB raised
in connection with some claims of Qulnn
& Kerns, the original contractors of the
withhoT3&T?t5?fi2?-tho firm claims and the
money is wlthhe'iu peuuiuiT l2-i9!;i&'.
meut of the dispute as to who
shall bear the expenso of repair
ing the reservoir at Brandonville and
pending n test of the pipes laid in town.
Qulnn & Kerns also claim J300 for a fee
paid George J. Wadllnger, the Pottsville
lawyer, and $297 for taking up and piling
plpeB distributed In the town In the fall
of 1893 and for re distributing the pipe in
the spring of 1894.
The water committee met and con
sidered these claims on Tuesday night
and as a result of that meeting Mr.
Gallagher, chairman of the committee,
last night presented n recommendation
in writing that all the matters In dispute
between the borough and Quinn & Kerns
be submitted to a board of arbitrators
consisting of three competent civil
engineers, one to be chosen by the Coun
cil, one by the contractors and the third
to be selected by the two thus chosen.
Mr. Gallagher urged the arbitration
measure and argued that if the borough
went into court, according to past ex.
perience, it would lose. He thought an
arbitration should be tried, to see if the
borough would stand aDy better show.
After considerable discussion the recom
mendation was defeated and the three
claims specified were rejected.
A claim of P. J. Cleary for extra ser
vices in laying the pipe line from Brandon
vllle to Fowler's Run, amounting to
$261 83 was also rejected. The Councll-
"mfcir-weje about evenly divided as to
whether or not tue-Cltiiawas a just one.
Mr. Knne didn't vote nnd t h
vote 0 for and B against payments Ml, .
Lamb, who was acting as chnlrmau, de
clared the motion to pay lost.
The following payments were made:
Quinn & Kerns, on account of old dupli
cates, $1,828.79; Shenandoah Feed &
Lumber Company, on account of a claim
Of $3,090, $2,000; A. W. Schalck, Esq., on
ac-ount of legal servlceo, $100 ; J. H. Pom
eroy, Eiq., for extra legal services, $330 ;
A. J. Womelsdorf, balance of 3 per cent,
commission, $1,105.20; National Tube
Works, m 77.
A bill of $228 presented by the National
Tube Works for extra services of the
company's superintendent was rejected
Council also rejected a bill for extra
services amounting to $909 presented by
Engineer -At J, Womelsdorf.
The engineer who is in charge of the
pumping station at Brandonville pre
sented a bill for his services. The bill
was made out at the rate of $5 per day
and during the discussion It transpired
that $2 50 goes to the engineer, 75 cents
for his Lourd, "5 cents for the use of a
mule In traveling to and from his vork,
mid $1 goes to the Jeiu.esvUle Iron Works,
who secured his setvlce. The water
ommlttee reported against the bill, but
the Council passed It.
