WITH NO DEFINITE EESDLT Without the Operations tho Condensers Altnohed Pumps .Leave a Question! Undecided. At eight o'clock yesterday morning several of the Couucilmeu left town In carriages and drove to the public water works pumping station at Davis' Itun to make au Inspection of the plant, but more especially to make a test of the pumps with and without the condensers. Tho Councllmen who made the trip wore Messrs. MoGuire, Kane, McElheuny, T. J. James, D. It, James, Gable, Kerns, Dougherty, Hand nud Beese. Superln. tendent Betterldge also drove over. Councilman Schoppel and Town Clerk Kinuoy, of Gtrardvllle, were also In the party. They were a special committee ap pointed to Inspect the plant and make a report to their Borough Council, which has au option on a water shed at Gordon and contemplates constructing public water works. Several townsmen followed the borough fathers to the valley and witnessed tho operations, among them Messrs. B. B. Severn, F. C. lteese, Daniel Brennau, Philip Gable and Justice J. J. Cardln. Upon arriving at their destination the Councllmen first went to the resorvolr and looked over It very carefully. They found everything In excellent condition. Their Is auabundauce of good water in tho reservoir and the surrounding grounds Councilman Gus Gable was director general of affairs at the pumping station and had Benjamin Womer at hand in working clothes to nsslst the regular engineer, Fred. Scott, In carrying out orders. Councilman Dick Beese also con tributed valuable service with rule, pencil and paper, Councilman T. J. James offered suggestions, President McGulre struggled .with a pencil and piece of paper to figure the capacity of the pumps, and Councilman D. It. James delivered addresses on tho value of condensers. Councllmen Hand, Dougherty and Kerns looked on, say- lug nothing, but thinking hard, Councilman Kane looked out the jvln dows of the pumping station criticising the construction of township roads and Coun cilman McElheuny turned over in his mind the problem of where the party would dine. He became nettled when he heard that Councilman Gable had brought a lunch in a shoe box and several of the Councllmen joined the hungry Councilman In a grand kick over the Idea of spending a day In public work with nothing to eat. Superintendent Betterldge was sent to a hotel at Braudonville and he or dered a dinner for tho party. He returned and stated that a feast would bo ready at two o'clock. This stopped the insurrection and Councilman McElhenny then turned his attention to the pumps. "Mac" doesn't know much about water pump i, but he knows how to raise the wind and as the Councllmen spent the whole day on the expedition they had oc-. caslou to feel grateful to him for the kick he made. Tho ohject of the test made was to find out whether It is more economical to operate the pumps with the condensers, or by having them exhaust into the atmos phere. The question Is still debatable. Councilman' Gable says that a six-day tost will be required to decide tho point. The Councilman claim that yesterday's work showed that the results were about equal, but he maintains that a weighing of coal and other tests would show a result in favor of the operation of the pumps with out the condensers. There is still a big difference of opinion among tho Councllmen on the question aud it Is not likely that tho condensers will be dispensed with. Many of them be Hove that exhaustlug Into the atmosphere consumes a -greater amount of coal, aud Fireman Casey Bays such has been tho case with tho pump whloh has been dls connected from the condenser. The engi neer also claims that the pumping ra pacity with tho condenser Is greater. Coun cilman D. B. James seems Inclined to dis pense with tho condensers If It win be shown they pollute the water that is forced back Into tho reservoir. Council man Gable says the pollution Is a natural consequence. One thing the latter Conn cllman succeeded In demonstrating to his colleagues was that the glands of the plungers were kept screwed too tight. This, alone, several of the Councllmen said, was worth the trip, During the test the pumps were operated at 60 poles, or 14 revolutions per minute. This meant pumping of a fraction over 41,120 gallons per hour, or 493,510 gallons per day of 12 hours for each pump, and there was room to Increase thecapiclty considerably. The test was made with 100 pounds of stoam. Tho Councllmen returned at about 6.30 o'clock last evehlng.

For the CHARGES OF BRIBERY MADE Tho Coinplnlnnnt Alleges That the SherlfT Gavo Him Money to Work For tho JLattor's Nomination, lu tho Convention. It would seom that Chief of Police Tosh of town is determined to press his com plaint against Sheriff Alexander Scott to jlttjreud. Mr. Tosh Instituted quo warrantopro?5aisssome months ago to have the Sheriff ou1utTftmimce' MeB' tut tlmt. nlitn-alaxtlnn urnvMloN-Jl?1 boon made, but a few days ago, after arguuT by counsel for both sides, the Attorney General dismissed the application, stating th.it the charges had not been sustained. At the time the decision was rendered Mr. Tosh stated that, the case had by no means ended aud developments of today substantiated his statemeut. This morn lug Constable Matt Giblln received a war rant Issued by Justlco Deugler "and sworn out by Mr. Tosh, charging the Sheriff with bribery. Tho constable went to Frackvtlle to mak- service. The law under which the warrant was Issued Is embraced In section one of the Act of Assembly to prevent bribery aud fraud at nominating elections, etc. The law reads : "That hereafter, if a candidate for any office within this commonwealth Bh'all. directly or Indirectly, give, offer or promise tOgive or procure auy other person to give, offer or promise to give, to any elector, auy gut or reward in money, goods or other valuable things, or aliy security for tho payment or delivery of money, goods or other valuablo things, or any oluce,'emolu ment or employment, on condition, express or Implied, that such elector shall cast, give, retain or withhold his vote, or uso his inlluence at a nominating election, or delegate election, or cast, give or substitute another to cast or give his vote or use las lMlueiico at a nominating con vention, for or against the nomination of any particular candidate for nomina tion, so as to procure such person to bo voted for, at any election to take place, the person so mriug, procuring, lnlluenclng, abetting, endeavoring or offering, either directly or indirectly through others, their aiders or abettors, to procure tho person to be voted for by such electors, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, aud on con viction shall be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding three hundred dollars and be Im prisoned for a period not exceeding three months." Tho specific charge made by Mr. Tosh iu the warrant Is : "That, on the 13th day of August, 1894, and afterwards, Alexander Scott did corruptly promise this deponent that If ho (Scott.) was nominated and elected Sheriff ho would appoint Tosh (him) his deputy lu the Sheriff's oftlce; aud also at different times gave this deponent money to vote and work for him, to wit: at Shenandoah, In front of Johu Boborts', $10 ; and at Frack vllle, S10: In D. R. Lewis' saloon.

Tosh, a deputy sheriff in tho Sheriff's office." Constablo Matt. Giblon served the war rant on Sheriff Scott this morning In the Sheriff's office at Pottsvllle.
