A new subject for discussion lu connec tlon with the public water w orks wiiS afforded yesterday by another brenft occurring In the breastwork of the reservoir at Davis' Hun. Thenewsof th break caused a sensation of souio magni tude and considerable talk binges on th probable consequence.-. Thenewsof the break wan broutjht ti town by the engineer in charge of th pumping station. He notified Edward Fj Gallagher, chairman of the water cotn-i mittee, and that gentleman, in companyl with Councilman Meluskey, at. once drove over to the reservoir. They found that the break, as revealed to view, was not, apparently, a very serious one: but it will take an examina tlon by a civil engineer to determln what probable danger Is attached to it and what repairs are necessary t avoid trouble in the future. The break i-t between the wing wall and the breastwork of the reservoir. It can be seen on the inside of the breastwork, about five feet from the top, aud at the bottom "f the breastwork on the outside.. At the latter place the break is. the largest. It is about a foot wide at the bottom and eighteen inches high, sloplut! to the wing wall. The cause of the break is a mystery at present. There is a supposition that some water has made its way under the waste way and the dividing wall. The water poured out of the break until it was lowered in the reservoir to a depth of about five feet, then the flow a opped. Tills second break will probably lead to additional complications between Con tractors Quinn & Kerns and the borough. When the first break occurred n question aro-e as to whether the contractors or the borough should sustain the cost of niak ing the repairs. Quinn & Kerns claimed they were not reipousible, as the reservoir was accepted as completed aud satisfac tory belore the oreak occurred. This the Borough Couucil denied, but it made the repairs, and charged tho expense against the unliquidated account with the cou tractors. As this question has not been determined, the question as to who must stand the expeuie of making the second repair is nece-sarily an open one It is nuite likely a spaclal meeting of the liorough Council will be called to take steps for determining the full extent of the damage to the reservoir aud make ar rangements forttie repairs. Contractor M. P. Quinn and Mr. Depew, one ot A. J. womeisuorrs engineering corps, went to the reservoir this afternoon to inspect the break. Mr. Quinn had no opinion to expreis, but intimated that the break might be due to poor material used In repairing the breastwork. Hospital Engineer Dead. ipecHl to til HERALD.

Remarks on What Leads Up to the Bills of Extras Presented to School Board and Council. The policy of economy inaugurated by the Philadelphia & Rending Railroad Company is now making itself felt nt many of tho railway stations. It provides for n big reduction in tbe running ex penses, especially where the passenger and freight stations are connected. Wnges nnd forces are being reduced. At Ash- laud a ucnernl man In the freight house was laid off. The ticket clerk will here after assist lu the baggage and freight departments and the telegraph operator Is to act as assistant ticket clerk and do general clerical work In the office. Two men have been laid off at the Shamokiu depot and two at Mahanoy City. No visitation has yet been felt at the local depots. There is a young man of totvn wno incidentally but quite frequently calls on one of the leading society bells. That he wasa much favored caller, too, the Inci dent following will illustrate. One even ing recently he wended his way to the home of the youtig lady, rang the bell and was admitted by a younger sister ol his particular frieud, who Informed him thai the sister was in the parlor. Our friend was in very good humor with him self that evening for some reason or other, and noticing a high-backed rocking chaii in front of the flru with the occupant softly rocking, he decided he would give the young lady a very delightful surprise. Noiselessly stepping into the room be ad vanced softly to tho chair, and before she was aware ot liis presence placed both arms around her neck, raised her face ti his and imprlu'ed on her lips a long, lln ering ktss His heart beat tremulously as he released her and then stopped beat ing when she arose and ne fouud that In stead of it being his girl it was her mother that he had embraced. Considerable discussion is caused by the multitudinous bills that come before the Borough Council and School Boirrt upon the completion of work by contract The stateuieut that neither of these bodies ever have any work done by con tract for which they do not pay more than the original contract price is quite true. Without attempting to touch upon the merits of any particular claim of the past or present, it can be said that the cause for these bills of extras are not always properly located. These sources are as numerous as the claims. Some times a bill of extras arise from the main spring of the whole work, namely, the work of the architect or engineer. It has been found by the experience of ofiluials of this borough that, contrary to the pre vailing belief, architects and civil engineers are by no means infallible, and the slightest mistake on their part will sometimes cause an extra expenditure of hundreds of dollars. Theu, again, there are times when the contracts signed d not prove as well calked as the creators imagiue they are, aud here and there frequently looms up a piece of work thai Is an indispeusible necessity aud is not covered by tho agreement. It also happens that sometimes after the work has been completed according to (he very letter of tho coutraot, aud fully up to the expectations of the parties for whom it is performed, lu its completed state oertatu unforeseen circumstances, or changes in connecting works, make a change necessary. But the largest root of evil i the conscience, or lack of conscience, of most contractors. They are generally shrewd enough to keep a good supply ol the provisions of the hv.v on their side aud, like the law, some of them have no souls. Fully fifty per cent, of bills of extras presented to pnblio bodiei, while legally good, have no fouudatlon morally. But we all know that if the people were actuated by moral sentiment alone tbe lawyers would fcoou be driven out of their profeattou. Pacts.
