STILL IN DEADLOCK !
Efforts to Hold a
Itorough
Council
Meeting Fail,
BOLTING MEMBERS ABSENT.
A Proposition to Leave the First
Wnrd Vacancy Rejected nuil tho
lioltors Refuse to Allouil
the Meeting.
Another effort was made last night by
the Democratic members to have a meet
ing of tho Borough Council, but it was ns
Ineffectual as on last Thursday night. The
Council is in a deadlock and there Is no
telling when it will be broken. There as
no meeting last night because otie of the
bolting Citizens members was in Philadel
phia and the other six refused to attend the
meeting unless the Democratic members
would pledge themsolves not to try to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Mr. Meluskey.
In tho early part of the evening the bolt
ing members made this proposition to Pres
ident McGulre. Ho left them and returned
with the answer that tho Democratic mem
bers would not agree to refrain from an
attempt to fill tho vacancy in the First
ward. Messrs. McGulre, Kane, Kerns,
David It, James, Dougherty, Hand and
Gaffigau waited in the Council Chamber
until long after eight o'clock, but none of
the bolting members put in an appearance.
President McGulre then took his place
and directed the secretary to call the roll,
at the conclusion of which the presiding
officer stated that in the absence of a
quorum Council could not transact any
business and could only adjourn to some
fixed time.
Mr. D. It. James moved that an adjourn
ment be taken until Thursday evening,
th inst. Mr. Dougherty seconded the
motion.
Mr. Kane then took the floor and said:
"The business of tho people of this bor
ough Is neglected by these adjournments.
It does not look well. It looks like boys'
play. We were here last Thursday night,
and wo are here again tonight. There Is
important business and it can't be trans
acted. I don't see why we can't get the
members together. The dam Is full of
water and wo ought to be doing something
to have the water works tested. A stop
one way or another should be put to this."
Mr. Kerns then spoke. He said : "There
are from 80 to 00 families waiting anxious
ly for this water at Turkey Run. They
have to go to Maple Hill to carry water, or
pay ten cents for a wash boiler full. If
some of the members absent this evening
had to do the same thing they would np
pear here. They deserve censure."
The motion to adjourn was carried and
the president directed the secretary to
Issue notices for .1 meeting of tho water
committee to bo hold tonight, and a meet
ing of tho Borough. Council to be held on
Thursday evening.
Ouo of the Citizens members of Council
said today: "The proposition made by the
Citizens members was submitted in good
faith, and with a motive only of expedlt
ing whatever business of tho borough that
may require attention. We desired to talco
no undue advantage of the Democrats.
They would have had a majority piosent to
control whatever legislation may have been
transacted, but they refused. If they are
so anxious to srve their constituents why
did they refuse our proposition ? If there
Is any odluin attaohed to the controversy it
falls upon tho shoulders of our Democratic
friends."

FELL FltOM A POLE SWING.
11 lull School Grmlunto Sustains
Dnuuerons Injuries.
Miss Agues F. Leckie, of East Centre
street, is lying in a critical condition at tho
house of frleuds at Lakeside. Sho Is suf
fering from injuries sustained by a fall
froth n pole swing. On Monday Miss
Leckie and members of her family, with
several friends, went to tho resort for a
day of pleasure. They had a very enjoy
able time until about six o'clock In the
evening. Miss Leckie and her brother,
Jnmes, who is a motorman in the employ
of the Schuylkill Traction Company, got on.
the swing nud were full of mirth and
having a very enjoyable time when the
young lady lost her hold and fell face for
ward to the ground. She was picked up
unconscious and has remained in that con
dition since. Her family and a physician
itre in constant attendance. Tho exact
nature of the injuries are not known.
They are supposed to be of an Internal
nature. Tho young lady's head struck the
grouud with great force and there Is an
ugly mark above the left eye, but there is
no fracture of the skull there, although it
is possible that there Is a fracture at the
base of tho skull. Last night Miss Leckle's
condition was such that there were no
hopes of recovery. Her condition was not
improved today. James Leckie, tho
brother, is overcome by the accident to his
sister and it was necessary to procure
medical attendance for him last night.
Miss Leckie is about seventeen years of
age. Sue was a member of the High
school class of '03 and took part in the
commencement exercises at Ferguson's
theatre last Friday nlgut, reading an ossay
entitled, " 'Tls Distance Lends Enchant
ment." She is a young lady of amiablo
disposition and always bright aud cheerful.
In the class she was a favorite and several
of her classmates are now at her bedside.
Those who cannot find it convenient to be
there make frequent calls at the family
residence to glean tidings of their uufor
tuuato colleague's condition.

MORE WARRANTS ISSUED
Conatnblo Holnud Goes to Mt. Cnnnol
With Ito-enforcements to Mnko
Prisoners of ttie Circus
Mon.
A number of legal complications have
grown out of the visit of the circus to this
town last Monday, as stated In yesterday's
Uekald. Constable Phillips attempted to
make sorvico of summons and attachments
on tho management In suits to recover
wages by cauvassmeu, but failed. Yester
day the papers were given to Con
stables Boland and Dando and they
followed tho circus to Ashland, whore thoy
attempted to make service, but were driven
oil' tho circus grounds at muzzles of car
bines. Tho officers returned here last night aud
swore out warrants for tho arrest of Mana
ger McMahon and Tieketseller Beauleigh,
charging them with attempting to brlbo an
officer, Interfering with an officor in tho
discharge of his duty, assault and battery
with intent to kill, aud preventing an
officer from making service of attachments.
Boland says ono of the men offered him f 10
to go away and drop all proceedings.
This morning Constable Boland, re-en
forced by Policemen Tosh and Leo and
Special Officer Martin Mullahey, started
for Mt. Carmel with the determination of
taking the two circus men prisoners, or
makiug things lively for somebody.
McMahon, tho manager, claims to be
the champion scrapper of Ann Arbor,
Michigan, aud Policeman Lee has had
some experience with him. Last Monday
Lee made repeated efforts to arrest Mc
Mahou on a charge of assault and battery
preferred by a canvassmau, but could not
find him. At midnight he found Mc
Mahon superintending the removal of the
circus. The latter had eight ugly looking
men at his back and matters assumed a
very disagreeable shape. Lee said he
dldu't care what McMahon was champion
of, but wauted the circus man to go with
him. Some men of town with whom Mc
Mahon had associated interfered and tho
case was settled before Justice Lawlor by
payment of the costs.

THE UNKNOWN DEAD.
Inquest Hold on tho Body of tho
Un-
Identified Snlclde.
Deputy Coroner Manley aud a jury com
posed of Messrs. P. J. Cleary, F. J.
Breunau, M. J. Scanlan, P. .1. Flaherty,
M. J. Sulllvau aud P. J. Stanton last night
held an Inquest on tho body that was found
at the foot of the pine tree ou Locust
Mountain last Sunday and the following
verdict was rendered. : "That tho deceased
came to his death by committing suicide."
All efforts to establish" the identity of
the deceased have failed aud tho remains
have been Interred lu a pauper's gravo at
Schuylkill Haven almshouse, with the
many "Unknown" that have been given
rest In the place.
There were but two wituessos at the
Inquest. One, David Herring, told of tho
discovery of the body. He also related tho
circumstances of his return to tho placo
with Thomas Kinney, John Elsenhower,
Amos Yarnell aud William Delowry. The
latter searched the clothing on tho body to
find something that would lead to an
identification, but found nothing. The
clothlug contained no money. A revolver
rested under the left hand aud the hat was
beside the body.
The other witness was Dr. P. F.
Burke. He testified that there were two
bullet holes in the head, two on the right
side and one on the left. One of the bul
lets had passed through tho head. There
were several holes In the ueok, but It was
Impossible to determine whether they were
made by bullets or Insects. Tho body was
very badly decomposed and had been on
the mountain probably 2 or 'iU mouths.
From the clothing the body appeared to be
that of a Pole or Lithuanian. Only cigar
otte papors were found in the clothing. The
man was about 33 years of age. The re
volver found was of 32 oallbre and two of
the chambers were empty.
