The Borough Councilnien got together

west end of Coal street had been completed
and the contract for the sower on Emorlck

On motion of Mr. Gable it was decided
that hereafter all bidders for work be re
quired to iurulsh with their proposals a
a bond in the amount of half the contract
price as a guarantee of good faith. The
object of this is to prevent bidders from

awarded them.
Mr. Hand reported that tho street in front
of Mrs. Reilly's property at the corner of
Catherine and Cherry streets is In bad con
ditlon. Mr. Gablo stated that the opening

several electric wires are lyiugon the wires
of tho firo alarm system and there is dan
ger of the latter beiug burned out. He also
reported that the Gamewell Compauy was
willing to rebuild the alarm system for $150.
On motion of Sir. lloehm the lire ap
paratus committee was ' ompowered to

of all the alarm system wires, and the
committee was authorized to change the
wires where they oome in oontaot with
other wires.

driver pleaded guilty to tho charge of fast

Mr. Boehm said that If an ordinance had

posed. Mr. T. J, James said the Justice had no
right to remit tho fine,
Mr. Gable stated he had been Informed
that ou tho 17th lust, the Chief of l'ollce
aud a Patrolman were lu the brewory at
about half past ten o'clook at ulght, while
ou duty, and drank three glasses of beer.
On motion of Sir. Kane the matter was

Chief Burgess Burns presonted a wrltto n
statement lu which ho stated that lie gave
a man named Holland a license under ordt
uanco No. 43 to give an exhibition on the
street and the Chief of Fpllco drove Hol
land away. The Burgess wanted to know-
whether ho had a right to give tho license
If so, had tho Chief of Pollco the right to
set himself above It?
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.
The secretary reported that he had seen
Contractor Qulnn at Pottsvllle aud that
gentleman had agreed to try to arrange
for a test of the public water pipes ou Sat
urday morning.
An lnvltatlbn from the joint committee
to take part In the Fourth of July demon
stration was accepted.

water works and named the following

Straughu, Third ward; A. D. Gable,
Fourth ward ; Patrick Hand, Fifth ward.
Tho committee was instructed to roport

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

failed to give the most perfect satisfaction.

TAKES ANOTHER TURN.
A Now and Iuteroetlmr Pliaso on the
Circus Cases.
The case against J. C. Beaucleigh, the
circus man, took nn interesting turn last
night. The worm turned, as it were.
Beaucleigh had been confined in the lockup
from Wednesday evening until last night,
when SI. SI. Burke, Esq., procured his
release to go before Justice Lawlor and
euter bail. 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.
