Man, supplied with reasoning and dis

This can be applied with very good
effect in the purchase of Coffees and

of Coffee, the grade, the roasting and
preparation are very important factors.

those requirements. A delicious cup

Other Council Proceedings.
Financial problems Occupicil tho most of
tho two hours niul a Imlf tho Borough Coun
cil was in session last night, and after twist
ing, turning, weighing and viewing tho
questions in all their hasos the members
finally succeeded in hitting upon a plan that
will tldo the borough over until tho returns
begin to come In from tho tax duplicato for
1803. The Councilmen In attendaiico at the
meeting were Messrs. McGuiro, I). It. James,
Hand, O'Brien. Dougherty, Hcose, T. J.
James, Boolim, McKlhenny, Gable, Stniuglm
and Kuuc.
Tio case of Mrs. Flaherty, who complains
of w.tsto wntor running ovor hor property on
Mayborry alloy, was brought up again. Tl'ia
Chief BurgosS said ho was at a loss as to
know what to do. If ho compelled the
people to contitiuo guttoring dono on tho
Egan property a hump in tho alloy would
interforo, but the borough could lay a pipe
across tho alley to carry oil' tho water.
It was tho sentiment of Council that tho
llurgoss should handle tho matter, as it evi
dently is a squabble among neighbors, and a
motion prevailed that all tho parties con
cerned bo notified to put in gutters and
should tho troublo bocomo a public nuimuco
the borough talio charge and abate it.
Tho complaint of 1'. J. Ferguson about tho
grade of 1'Ium alley was also brought up
again. Mr. Ferguson asks that the alley be
cut down, or tho borough raiso his stable. A
motion to comply with the latter part of tho
request was defeated.
Complaints wero made against wagons
allowed to remain on Oak, Main and West
Centre streets and the Chief Burgess was
instructed to euforco the ordinances.
An adjourned meeting will bo held next
Tuesday ovening to considor an' ordinance
relativo to the refunding of the ?25,000 of
old borough bonds falling duo on January 1st,
next.
Tho finance committee reported that it
would bo necessary to negotiato a loan, or
take other steps to meet bills falling duo un
til returns could bo received from tho 1893
duplicato and after considerable discussion
tho ltorough Solicitor was instructed to issuo
nn execution on tho tax duplicato of 1891 and
a loan of ? 1,000 for 90 days was authorized.
On tho question of tax lovy T. J. James,
chairman of the finance committee, stated
that it was believed tho borough could get
along through tho.ensuing year with tho tax
rato tho samo as last year, viz : 8 mills for
borough taxes and 5 for water, provided,
however, that tho water duplicato will bring
sufficient revenue to run tho water plant.
This was assured by Councilmen Oablo and
McElheuny and tho tax rato was fixed at tho
samo rato as last year.
Mr. Gablo mado a report on matters con
nected with the public water works, which
was of a routino character, and closed it with
tho declaration that ho wished to resign from
thq chairmanship of tho water committee.
At first ho gavo no particular reason for the
stop, but upon being urged ho stated that ho
was not satisfied with tho manner in which
tho superintendent of water works was pro
ceeding. Tho specific causo of complaint
was that tho superintendent was in tho habit
of contracting bills and doing other things
without consulting tho committee.
Aftor considerable talk ovor tho duty of tho
superintendent to consult tho committee it
was decided to lay Mr. Gable's resignation on
thu table until tho next meeting. None of ,
his colleagues wish to seo tho Councilman
withdraw from tho chairmanship and tho
object of tabling tho resignation was to give
him tlmo to re-consider tho stop. Ho was
determined to pross It last night.
Councilman McKlhenny paid an excellent
tribute to Councilman Gablo while tho resig
nation was under discussion. Ho said, "Mr.
Gablo has practically dono tho work of the
water coramitteo and his services to it have
been Invaluable. I hopo ho will reconsider tho
matter and not resign. There may bo some
ouo in Council, but certainly there is no one
on tho water committeo who can fill Ills
place."
Mr. Gablo was evidently much affected by
tho sentimonts expressed by his colleagues,
but mado no reply and uslsted that tho
resignation bo accepted.
It was decided that the water superin
tendent shall establish hi ollico in tho
Council chamber.
Tho flnanco committee was instructed to
collect tho oar taxos from tho electric railway
companion.
Borough Solicitor Pomeroy was instructed
to appeal to court from 'the award of $75
mado In tho Slander oaso.
Tho water superintendent reported that ho
had placed a motor at M. L. Shoemaker's
colliery at Turkey Hun. Ho at the samo
tlmo' recommended that all Are .plugs be ox
amlncd at onco to gaard against tho effects of
tho'pold weather, and that tho, proper officers
bo directed to prevent peoplo from throwing
asliOjS and other refuse on the ends of tho

Speaker Reed Has Not Yet Prepared
His List.
MAY BE READY EARLY NEXT WEEK
In the. Upper House of Congress Senator
Chandler Offers a Free Coinage BUI
Which Is Dependent Upon tho Action

Washington-, Deo. 0. Speaker Heed has
begun for the first tlinb to definitely out
lllio his list of cominltteos on paper. Aftor
rccolvlnR- member. of the liouso nil dny
Wednesday ho sat dd,vn ht 9 o'clock nnd
workcit until n Into lioitr putting on paper
tho assignments ho had decided upon, up
to that tlmo. Yostorday ho gavo nioro in
terviews to members mid listened to the
presentation of their claims. No Informa
tion has leaked from tho speaker's room
except remarks nuulo by Mr. Heed to the
friends of a member who asked for tho
chairmanship ot tbo committee) on labor,
which soomed to indicate that ho had de
cided to glvo that pluco to Mr. Phillips,
of I'onlisylviinln, whose nnmo has been
presented by tho labor organizations.
Tho labor unions are tuklnir an interest
In tho committeo on Immigration, as well
ni tho labor committee, and aro ondonvor
Ing to bring nbont tho selection of com
mitteeman who will favor Senator Lodge's
bill, which, nmong othor things, would
bar Illiterate foreigners from entry. It Is
ostlnuvted that not less than 20 por oont
of tho foreigners admitted undor oxluttng
laws would bo excluded by a system re
quiring their ability to routl mul write
their own language, and this Is what tho
labor organizations wish to procure.
Probably tho strongest pressure being
brought to boar upon the speaker comes
from various candidates for the committee
on ways and motuis. Tho Republicans
will bo entitled to eleVon places on this
body If tho party proportion of tho last
congress is maintained, nnd seven of the
eleven will be now men. Tho Influence of
business interests of every class and sec
tion hns been invoked, and many letters
and petitions aro pouring In.
Next to ways nml means, In their doslr
ablllty from the standpoint of tho mem
bers, aro tho coiiiiiiltteesonnpproprlathms
and river. nnd harbors, tho two bodies
which have chargo of tho distribution ot
tho largest sums of money.
Speaker Heed is considering iv plan to
dlvldo tho work on contested election case.
by forming two election committees In
tho liouso. T'io plan, If adopted, would
greatly facilitate tlia"work of disposing of
tho contests baforo tho house, and would
give tho contestants who may bo found to
bo entitled to seats for which othors now
hold cartifloatos their rights sooner than
they might obtain thom otherwlso. There
are thirty-two contests on hand, and they
will furnish too much work for ono com
mittee to grapplo with. Tho business of
this committeo corresponds largely to that
of a court, as it hears nil tho evldenco in
every case, and thou votes upon it and re
ports to thu houso. It is said that tho
quostlon of economy counts with Mr. Heed
in tho matter, for when n member is un
seated tho salary for tho position during
tho tlmo thu contest wus ponding is paid
to both of tho claimants, us well as tho ex
penses of conducting tho ensu before the
committeo.
Tho houso will probably adjourn after
Its meeting today until next Monday or
Tuesday. At that tlmo tbo announcement
of thu committees by Speaker Heed is ox
pectcd. Speaker Hoed, in his characteris
tic way, romarked yesterday: "If anybody
tolls you that lie knows what I am going
to do about thu commlttoosorany of thom
you can safely tell him ho Is a liar. And it
a suit for defamation of cbaractor should
ensuo therefor I will testify in behalf of
tho defense."
Tho session of tho senate was brief again
yostorday. Its only feature being tho
Introduction of a bill by Senator Chandler,
of Now Hampshire, for tho froo coinage of
silver when Kngluud, Franco nnd Ger
many would onaot similar loglslatlou and
a resolution by his colleague, Senator Gal
linger, declaring It to bo tho souso of tho
souato that it was unwise and lnoxpodlont
to retire tho greenbacks. There was also
n short speech by Senator Call, of Florida,
In favor of tbo recognition of tho Cuban
revolutionists as bolllgorents.
Tho Republican senators met in caucus
Immediately aftor tho adjournment of tho
senate. Sonator Sherman, chairman of
tho caucus, announced tho selection of tho
following senators as a commlttoo to ar
range tho couuultteos of tho senate:
Mitchell, Teller, Cullum, Quay, Piatt,
Chandler, Pettigrow, Gear and Prltehard,
This committeo win confirmed by tho cau
cus, which adjourned subject to call.
When tho committeo has selected tho
committees tho caucus will bo called to
gothor to take action upon its arrange
ments. Tho commlttoo is about equally
divided as to sllvor, four bolug for freo
colnugo, while Chaudlor Is vory friendly to
sliver. Tho commlttoe will hold Us first
mooting on Monday next.
Tho Democratic senators also hold n cau
cus, thoro being twenty-six senators
present. Tho caucus decided upon tho
nomination of Sonator Harris for president
pro tempore in case tho Republicans should
decido to attempt to select ono of their
numbur to this office. Tho caucus also
authorized tho chairman, Sonator Gorman,
to appoint a steorlng committee, six of
whom shall bo old members, three to fill
vacancies of thoso who wero not ro-oleoted.
TblspQmmlttco Is to confer with the Re
publlcan committeo for tho purposo of
reaching an agreement as to tho sonata
committees.
