Tho matter was referred to the law com mltteo to act In conjunction with the Solic itor. Mr. Reese said a bad flue exists lu a house ou Gilbert street and had not been attended to because he was waiting to get another member of Council to accompany him to tho place, so that his visit would not be misconstrued.

Given New EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS' Another Lift, Store UotetluK Ways, Additional Enclnosnud Now Hollers nre Among tho Numerous Specifications Laid Out. The Gllberton colliery, which shut down ou tho first of this month for repairs and Improvements will bo one of the best col lieries tho Philadelphia St Reading Coal & Iron Compauy has when It starts up again. The work now going on shows that when this company undertakes to make Improve ments It does not go half way. There has been some hesitation about the naturo aud extent of tho Improvements, at this place, but It Is now announced that the program Is laid out. One of the first steps will be the sinking of tho fourth litt ou tho Buck Mountain vein slope, and when this is done a tunnel will be driven to cut the Sovon Foot, Mammoth, Split of JIammoth, Holmes and Primrose veins. Another improve ment will be the construction of a plane from the third to the fourth lift. All coal will bo takou to tho fourth lift, making it the base of operations. It is also Intended to take out all the ptmps now lu use and uso only tlio largest sized pump, making each throw two lifts. This, It is sail, can be easily done, as the company has excellent pumps. A new tender slope will also bo opened. It will be east of the present hoisting slope. The new opening will bo used only for supplies aud the main slope will be used exclusively for hoisting coal. Close to the top of this tender slope there will be a supply plane over one thousand feet long. Everything needed for inside work will bo hoisted over this plane to save carting, handling and the cost of keeping mules for hauling. This plane will have a pair of hoisting engines at its top and the same engine house will have a pair of engines for the tender slope. A very large pair of hoisting englnib will be erected at the top of the Buck Slouutain slope to replace those now iu use. The boiler house wjll also be thoroughly overhauled aud the fifty-two cylinder boilers now iu uso will bo removed and supplanted by P. & R. tubular boilers. Workmen are getting ready to place ten of tho latter at once and ground is being cleared for twenty. Tho breaker will be a model one aud iu many respects resemble the recently re modeled Shenandoah City breaker. The old structure will be given a general over hauling aud new jigs, screens aud shakers will bo put In. It is expected that when all the altera tions and Improvements aro completed this breaker will be able to prepare from 1,000 to 1,200 tons of coal dally without crowd ing tho capacity. The preparation of coal for market is quite a consideration now and the P. & R. C. & I. Co. is grasping the situation. Although the work of re modeling the inside ami outside workings of this colliery imply the consumption of au Immense amount of timo and labor the place will not remain idle as long as many suppose it will, as General Slauager R. C. Luther and General Superintendent John Velth have Issued orders that all work must ba pushed as fast as tools and work men can make It go. The Gllberton col liery is operated on tho lands of the Gil bert and Sheafer estates. Slothers will find Chamberlain's Coug Remedy especially valuable for croup aud whorping cough. It will give prompt re lief and is safe aud pleasant. We have sold it for several years and It has never failed to give the most perfect satisfaction. G. W. Richards, Duquesno, Pa.

The lawyer and prisoner ap peared before the Justice aud offered the 81,500 ball aud supplemented It with an of fer of $3,000, but the latter refused to accept it, on the ground that the prose cutor, Constable Thomas Bolaud, was not satisfied with the security. Sir. Burke and his client then went before Justice Will iams, who released Beaucleigh ou 51,500 bail, Sir. Burke becoming the surety, Beaucleigh then turned arouud and caused a warrant to be issued for Justice Lawlor for misdemeanor in ofiice in refusing to admit the prisoner to ball wheu good security was teudered. Tho warrant was served upon Justice Lawlor last ulght. He waived a hearing and entered 5500 hail.
