The Break In the Breastwork of the
Davis' Run Reservoir is Tempor
arily Repaired Inspected by
Counctlmen.
Brief mention was made yesterday of
the arrest of a stranga man on Thursday
night for trying to clean out a store on
West Centre street- The man was well
stocked with liquor and in a condillon
bordering on delirium tremens. Neither
his name nor address could bo learned at
the time and after vainly trying to pacliy
the man Policeman Lee Tan him into the
lockup.
When placed In the cell the man acted
like u maniac. He attacked the cell door
like an enraged lion, but accomplished
nothing. He eventually turned his at
tentiou to a water pipe and tugged at it
until he got it loose aud the wuter poured
into his cell. Nature finally asserted it
self and the man fell exhausted upon the
wooden bench. He was kept prisoner
until last night, when he was allowed to
go home.' Before leaving the man said he
was Joseph Hlllabuah and that he resided
at Yatesvllle. He was dretsed like a
farmer and it was supposed that he was
from the Catawissa Valley until he
dis
closed his iudentlty last night.

TEMPORARILY REPAIRED.
The Breastwork at luvls' Run Secured
Against Further Damage.
Council cuea McRlhenny, Straughn,
Melnskey and Magargle spent yeSterday
afternoon at DavU' Run, inspecting the
breastwork of the public water works
reservoir and report that the damaged
portion has been sufficiently repaired to
withstand any freshet that may occur
this spring, although the repairs are
of only a temporary character. As soon
as all danger attending the breaking up
of the winter season Is passed it will be
necessary to make permanent repairs to
some extent. For the present the break
has been tilled with n mixture of cement,
pebbles and gravel and no trouble is ex
pected even if the water should rise tno
feet above the waste way. The Councilmeu
are now cmvinced that the break in the
breastwork was due entirely to poor
material used in the construction, and
nut in any measure to springs. There is
a spring in the center of the breastwork,
but that has an outlet through a pipe,
There is also oue in the wuste way, but
that has no connection with the breast
work. Lace curt tins done on the famous Sin

quite a large attendance of friends of the

exceedingly pleasing program of vocal

Publio Interest In these exercises of the
High school is increasing and it will only
be a question of time when they will be
looked upon and patronized as regular
lecture courses are patronized In other
plnces. They are not only found pleas
Ing and Instructive to the patrons,
but nre of Immense benefit as a train
ing course for the pupils. It nccus
toniB them to appearing and speaking
public, so that when the time
for the graduating exercises arrives the
piiplls are prepared to meet the ordeal of
addressing the Inrge audiences In the
pera house with self possession aud
grace. Ilie exercises also practically
form a course In elocution. They are
held every six weeks. Allen Seltzer is the
president of the school and Miss Leckle
the secretary. Misses Muir and L zzle
Dougherty and Mr. Luther Edwards were
he Judges on the debate.

than thq study of gepgraphy," Misses
Hlahertyi Meehan, Lechleltner and Harry

question and Misses North,, Mansell and

Llewellyn read tho critic's report and tho
exercises closed with the singing of "My
