James, T. J. James, Boohm, MuEllicnny, Magargle and Onhle. In tho absonco of tho president Mr. Straughn occupied tho chair. The greater part of tho evening was con sumed in discussing methods for bringing taxes duo tho borough into tho treasury and tho applications for rights of way by now electric light companies. The discussion of the tax question closed with instructions to tho finance committee and Ilorough Solicitor to enter judgment against tho bond of tho tar collector. Mrs. Jenkins, of Lino street, claimed that tho contractors imperfectly connected her property with tho public water works and it cost her $5.G3 to remedy tho defect. Sho claimed tho contractors gave her no satisfac tion and desired Council to seo that sho was reimbursed. Aftor learning that tho work was douo by private contract and not under the contract between the borough and con tractors, Council informed Mrs. Jenkins that sho must look to tho contractors for reim bursement. Ex-Councilman A. 1!. Lamb made applica tion for rights of way for the poles and wires of a corporation known as Tho Delano Heat, Power and Light Company, which proposes to furnish light, heat and power to tho borough. The application was referred lo tho ordinance and street committee.

James demanded some assurance that the application was bona fide and not mado for tho purpose of barteriug the right of way, as was douo in tho electric railway cases. Mr. Lawlor gavo tho names of tho incorporators as published in yesterday's issuo of tho Herald, but said ho could not givo tho names of tho other Shenandoah and Girardville parties interested. Ho is not at liberty at present to mako tho disclosure, but gavo assurances that tho people wcro respon sible and tho project was bona fide. The matter was finally postponed until tho next regular meeting of Council to givo some of tho Couucilmcu additional time to consider it. Attention was called to a broken chimney in tho Bobbins building, on West Centra street. Tho room and stationery committee was In structed to secure better light for tho Council chamber. liorough Solicitor Pomeroy stated that after consultation, S. G. M.

JUSTICE DEAN DELIVERS AN OPINION Juatices Sterret and Williams Dissent The Decision Reverses the Judgment of the Dauphin County Court Declaring the Law Unconstitutional. PlTTSUUKO, Oct. 18. Jnstlco Denu, of tho supremo court, has decided in a long nnd elaborato opinion that tho net creat ing the now superior court Is legal, re versing the judgmont of tho Dauphin county court, nnd deciding thnt six judges may be voted for. Chief Justice Storrltt nnd Justice Williams dissent. Tho point on which tho decision turns is whether tho legislature wns prohibited by the constitution from putting nny limita tion on the power of voters electing judges of the superior court. Thero aro seven can didates to bo voted for, and tho legislature hns declared that no votor shall voto for mora than six. This tho court holds the legislature has a right to do. Tho consti tutional provision that voters "shall bo entitled to voto nt nil elections" cannot under any reasonable interpretation In cludo an absolute right to voto for ovory candidate of u group of candidates for tho sumo office. Tho constitution establishes limited voting in tho election of supremo court judges, county commissioners, Philadel phia magistrates and inspectors of elec tion; therefore, It Is argued, tho implica tion is that tho plan Is oxeludcd in tho election of nil other officers. Hut tho lim ited voting plnn was recognized und adop ted in tho constitution liccauso it was deemed wise that as to tho offices non-partisan In character, or which nt least should be, tho minority party ought to havo representation, and this could only bo attained by limited voting. Iu the cases specified tho constitution Is man datory. riillmnn I'nlaco Car Statistic. Chicago, Oct. 18. Stockholders of tho Pull man I'alnco Car company held their nnnunl mooting hero yesterday.

A sad accident occurred at Turkey Itun last evening by which Itobert MeAlee met an untimely death in a mine breach. Shortly after six o'clock John Sunderland, Thomas JIcAleo and tho deceased went to the breach, which is about two hundred yards south of their homos, to get coal to store away for tho winter.

They were evidently not careful enough in this rowpect last night. McAleo had secured sulllcieut coal for his own uso some weeks ago and his presence in the breach last night was due only to the kindness of It is heart iu ashisting his friend and neighbor, Jlr. Sunderland, who is unable to do the work unassisted, having lost a leg when a boy. A shot bad been prepared, Sunderland having gone to the surface. MeAlee lighted tho squib and was hastily retreating when the earth above liiiu broko away and buried him under seven feet of coal, dirt and stone. The place was soon surrounded by weeping relatives and friends. Willing hands wero soon at work and after four hours qf hard labor the lifeless form was removed from tho mine. Death was due to suffocation. McAleo was about 35 years of age and has a wife and child in Michigan. The child is six mouths old. McAlee's parents are almost crazed by grief.
