The ypung maninamed William Haines were thrown from the seat of the wagon to the street, but escaped with a few scratches. The stories of the collision differ. Wlllman says he attempted to cross tho track and had the car not been faster than it should he would have crossed In safety. He says the head of one ot the horses went through n front window of the car. Martin Corringlon, the motorman, says the driver turned his horses upon the track suddenly and that It was the pole of the wagon that went through the window. The motorman's left hand was badly cut by the falling pieces of glaEs. One of . the horses was considerably scratched and bruised by being dragged by the car. Wlllman secured another team of horses and drove to Mahanoy City with the furniture. Try Salmon fish cake tonight at Schelfly House; It will not cost you a red. PERSONAL. An Excellent Performance. "The Indian Hero" was presented by an excellent company at Ferguson's theatre last evening. The plot is founded on an actual occurrence, namely the Mountain Meadow Massacre, and is carefully worked out. Roland Ranger, the hero, was orphaned by the Indians tho night of the massacre and would himself have been slain had not Gererntmo, the famous Sioux Chieftain, rescued and raised him. The events of the play de tl with Roland's life after he reaches manhood. There is a pretty love story running through the play. Mr. Richard Anderson, in the role of Roland Ranger, made an emphatic hit. Mr. W. F. Allen kept the audience in one continuous uproar. Miss May Marena, the champion lady rifle shot, assumed the role of Lenora Primrose, and her characterization was mo3t pleasing. By special request of the management the same piece will be produced this evening. One to five applications of Doan's Olnt meuc will cure the worst case of Itching Piles there ever was.

Mr. Kane moved that the wishes of the P. & H. company be complied with, that the boundaries of the public dumping grounds be strictly-adhered to, and that anybody caught dumping outside the limits of the grounds be punished accord ing to law ; and. that the Chief Burgess, High Constable and Health Officer be Instructed to attend to the matter and see who the parties are. The motion was carried. The Chief Burgess was instructed to see that the fence of the grounds be replaced. Mr. Hand moved that the complaint of Mr." Jones be referred to committee and that Health Officer Miles be questioned as to whether he gave the permit. Mr. Reese said a nuisance existed at the Purcell property on West Coal street and that the Chief Burgess had failed to attend to it. The Chief Burgess stated that he and the Health Officer visited the place and the latter had given notice for an abate ment. Mr. Reese also stated that a pavement below the Greek Catholic church was in bad condition. He also complained of drainage on South West street. Messrs.

James said the wing wall of the dam at Brandonvllle H leaking and the place is in a. dangerous condition. It would be nonsense to ntteinpt to start the works with the dam in that condlton, The constquence will be the dam will burst. There will be nothingto save it. Mr. Kane said all these matter will at tended in proper time. It will be esary to test the pipes first. D R. James thought Council had better have the reservoir at Brandonvllle ex- tlon.
