NO. 21 NORTH MAIN STREET, SHENANDOAH, PA. The Borough Council held a meeting last night Htid for a while had a more lively time than the School Board had on the preceding evening.. For about halt an hour President McGulre was obliged to keep hi eyes, ears and gavel busy to keep matters straight and avoid collisions on points of order. The tussle of the evening was nn attack upon the lamp and watch committee on the subject of police uniforms, A disinterested spectator can readily see that effects of the deal by which the last organization was eifected still hover In the Council chamber. The way the Councllmen sit denotes this. Those who were In the deal sat on the north side of the room last night. Those who were not in It occupied seats on the south side. Each side glared furiously at each other at times last night. The Councllmen in attendance were Messrs. McGulre, D. 11.

J, James, of the finance com mittee, stated that there was no money In the treasury and that tho tax collectors should do something. It takes about $10,000 a year to run the borough and only about $20,000 has been coming In. Between $30,003 and $40,000 Is due from the collectors.

James, of the lamp and watch committee, reported -that the uniforms for the police had been ordered of W. J, Jacobs. This opened the battle of the evening. T. J, James asked what they were to cost and D. R. James answered one dollar less a suit than last year and better material. Mr. Gable said bids for the uniforms should have been procured and declared the contract to Mr. Jacobs was one ot the concessions of the deal D, It. James said the committee did get bids and T. J. James retorted that they were not aked for until after the com mittee understood It would get Into trouble. Mr. Kerns said ho and D. R. j James went to four tailors and. asked j them to put In bills and only two did so they were Swalm and Jacobs. .Mr. Jlc Elhenny wanted to see the bids and the chairman said It had not been customary for Council 'to have the bids. Mr. Boehm said the taxpayers were directly interested In the matter; that the committee should get bids and the contract should be given to thelowef bidder, Mr. Kerns said the committee did get bids and had not been Instructed to bring them before Council, nor had the committees of previous years done to. Messrs. McElhenny and T. J. J nines then said the contract was awarded before bids were asked. D. R. James said be was the question with the protesting pof ncllmen, and not the uniforms. At' tlnies two and three Councllmen were anxious to hold the floor and the chair man was obliged to call and rap for order repeatedly, T. J. James said the class of goods are 80 per cent, cheaper than last year and that on a reduction of only $1 on a suit the Council was being robbed. There were joint cries of bids "What Is the style t" answered that the style of the coat was Prince Albert ; that Jacobs' bid was $21 a suit and Swalm's $22. Mr. Gaulgan denied that Mr. Jacobs was informed on the night of the organization that he would get the contract for making the uniforms. Mr. Hand said ho did not hear D, R. James mention Jacobs' name that night. Finally the matter settled down to n question of style. Mr. McElhenny inoved that the regulation, double-breasted frock coat uniform be adopted, un a division the chairman declared the mo tlon lost. Mr. Gafllgnn moved that the police be furnished with a sack coat and on n division the motion was declared carried. Borough Solicitor Pomeroy stated that he had a rough draft ot the ordlnnr.ee Governing the water works in hand and suggested that another meeting of Coun cil be fixed to consider It, Council will hold an adjourned meeting next Wed nesday. The room and stationary committee re ported having had some committee cards printed at the Sunday News office and objection was raised that one name had been printed "T. R. James" instead of "T.'ff; James." Mr. Doyle said the com mittee had not furnished him with copy for the work. Mr. Kerns did not think the error was of much account; that there was a lot of difference between "T. R." and "D. R." T. J. James replied, "Only the difference of a deal. It does not con cern the gentleman as much as It does me, I would rather It had not occurred. The names are too similar as It is, to my fancy." "And to mine, too," exclaimed D. R. James. The cards were finally ac cepted. 1 D. R, James said that the gentlemen who were preaching enconomy should practice it. That the appeal of the Her ALD case to the Supreme Court would cost from $75 to $100 and the borough ought to pay the claim and be done with It. Messrs. Gable and. McGulre .said, they thought the appeal was all right and no further remarks were mnde. President McGulre stated that M. E. Doyle had brought suit for $300 for services as secre tary of the water committee and steps for collection had been taken in the Hnley case. Mr. Boehm made a lengthy report for the sanitary committee, pointing out a number of nuisances and the Chltf Bur gess was Instructed to abate them. The president instructed the Chief Dur gess to see that all troublesome drains are extended to the borough limits and all curbing Is done as soon as possible D. R. James stated that about 200 feet of the water pipe leading to Turkey Run had been disturbed by a cave-In. The report of Fire Marshal James S, Williams showed that there was not a Are alarm In the borough during March, the first month in several years to pass without an alarm. Chief Burgess Burns collected fines and licenses amounting to $41.50 during March. The police made eight arrests during the month. Chief Burgess Burns denied that he released men from the lockup before their sentences expired, except in the case of one who served about 18 hours and was released on account of the lockup being very cold. On motion ot Mr. Gafllgan the Chief Burgess and High Constable were In structed to enforce the ordinances relat lng to hogs, dogs and other aulmals roaming about the streets. Mr. Gable said the water ought to be drained from the distributing reservoir at Fowlers' Run to allow an Inspection. He thought there must be something wrong along the line. It takes 400 pounds nressure to get the water over to the reservoir and the gauge falls back to 250 pounds, which Indicates that there Is a leak. The chairman said some of the cement in the reservoir was cracked, but as there is ice and snow in Jbe basin he did not think It would be worth while to drain tjiepface for inspection .JustnoWfSUU he WOUla reler tue niaiier iu me vrmeruum- mlttee and If they think it wlee they can draw the water oil.

Meyers' counsel is sustained lu his view of the law by a decision rendered by Judge Slmonton at Harrisburg on Wednesdny. The opinion by Judge Slmonton referred to was one in the case of Henry Clay Williams vs. Robert R. Atticks in which the former contested the right of Atticks who was elected High Constable of Steelton at the last February election. The relator, Williams, was elected in 1893, for three years. Judge Slmonton declared Williams legally entitled to the office of High Constable. This ousts the reBpotident, Atticks, who was olected last February nnd has been recognized by the Borough Council of Steelton as High Constable. Judge Slmonton, after citing a number of opinions bearing upon the case, concludes that the term of office ot High Uonstaule Is, since the passage ot the Act of Febru nry 14th, 1889, three years Instead of one year, as before. A member of the bar of town when spoken to In connection with the decision stated to day that under this construction of tho law High Constable James Emanuel of this borough can hold tho office until the spring of 1897, or three years from the date of his first election. But at the same time, If the construction of the law Is cor rect, and it appears to be, does not the term of the High Constable who was elected in spring ot 1893 hold good until the spring of 1890, or has a fatluro to claim his lights during 1894 and up to the pres ent period debarred hlmf Lobster salad on sale at McElhenny 's, MISS WHALEN BURIED.
