SALE removing, stock of 20 Per Cent, from regular At KEITEIR'S. . . . , Considerable Important Business Was , Considered Last Night. THE BOND CONTRACT IS DROPPED Council Prepares to Amend the Ordinance Providing For the Issue so That Four Per Cent. Bonds Without Premium May be Given. A regular meeting of tho Borough Council was held last evening with a good attendance of members and considerable business uai transacted within a short time. It was fjuito Into when tho meeting opened, owing to the are light in the room refusing to work, and the C'ouncllmcn preferred to wait until it could ho put in operation rather than strain their eyes under tho solitary 3-candlo power incandescent that doos service over the desk of tho Chief of Police. Messrs. Welsh, J. J. Iteilly and 1'. .T. Mill hollan'd appeared and asked that permission be granted tho National Social Club to hold monthly athletic exhibitions, in I'ergusim's theatre in order that the club may raise funds to help it erect a building of its own. The request was granted. Jesse 1!. Davis.. gain appeared and asked that Council do something to abate the nuisance caused by water backing over properties on East Lloyd street from the creek that Is being filled with coal dirt. Mr. Davis said the water was alsu (lowing over public highways and ho believed that Council could gain more by proceeding uirnlnst the 1'. & It. O. & I. Co. than individ uals could. Councilman lloehni said that tho sanitary committee understood tho matter thorough ly, but under advice fioin tho ilormigli Solicitor tlie committee has no power to act. liorougli Solicitor I'omeroy stated that fiomwhat ho had learned of the caso tint borough had no authority in the case. If the creek overflowed by reason of any ob struction on any of the public roads it might bo responsible; but if tho Hooding is duo to an accumulation or coal dirt in tho creek tho damaged parties must seek redress in other quarters. It is piivato propcity. In tho ihsonce of Councilman T. .7. James, chairman of the Finance Committee, I'resl dont McCiuire stated that (iay & Co., tho Philadelphia bankers, hail backed out of their contract to take up the refunding bonds. This led to a discussion as to how tho bonds should bo disposed of and several Council men and tho llorough Treasurer said the bonds could bo readily disposed of at I per cent. Mr. Scaulan, the Tax liccciver, stated that an ollicial of nno of tho local banks had informed him that the Institution would take the whole issue, but the rate of interest was not specified. Mr. I'omeroy called attention to tho clause in tho ordinance giving the old bondholders (Irst choice on equal terms. The matter was disposed of by Councilman Strangling motion that an amended ordinance providing for tho issuance of tho bonds at 1 per cent lie prepared for presentation toCouncll next Tuesday evening. Owing to tho balance in tho treasury not being suiliclcnt for tho purpose, nil bills on the secretary's table weie laid oen until the next meeting. , File Marshal John Leary recommended that 1,000 i'cet of hoso bo purchased and that the hoso carriago of the Columbia Company be repaired. Councilman I'eeso said the carriage was so mucli in need of repair that it was a question as to whether or not it would be cheaper to buy a new one. Councilman 1). It. James, of tho Lamp and Watch Commlttco mado a report on tho complaint of William Usal against Policemen Tosh and Leo. At tho last meeting of Coun cil Usal appeared witli Dr. ltordner and complained that while on his way to tho dentist's olllco witli his wifo ho was arrested and lined on a charge of being a party to a dlstiiibanco at a wedding. Usal alleged that ho had nothing whatever to do with the disturbance and wanted tho lino and costs refunded. From tho rcpoit mado by Councilman James It appeared that Usal was arrested for indecent exposure of his pel-son and tho olllcers arrested him at a place to which resi dents of the vicinity had repeatedly railed the atlontlon of tho police. Tho latter were watching and caught Usal at 11 o'clock at night. Usui's-wifo was with him and continued his btory that he was on tho way to tho dentist's ollico when tho nriost was made, although slio admitted it was 11 o'clock at night. The evidence brought in nothing about a wedding. Tho report re commended that tho nction of tho police bo sustained. Councilman Slraughn stated that the law eoirtmilteo had investigated the claim of John T. Lee for $15 damages to his wagon, sustained by his horse having been frightened by a hog roaming on Wost Centre street anil, after consultation witli the llorouglt Solici tor, had concluded to mako no recommenda tion. llorough Solicitor Pomeroy supplemented tho report with a statement to the etl'ect that tho borough was not liable. Tho direct cauo of tho accident was a hog and, while there is an ordinance against hogs roaming nt large on tho streets, it is merely a police regula tion and tho borough is no more responsible than it would ho if a person was struck by a base ball wlillo hoys wcro playing on a btrcct, or knocked down by n counting sled. If tho damage had been caused by any defect In tho street tho case would bo dltl'erent. The borough prohibits by ordlnanco stray hogs on the street and was not responsible for tho action of tho hog In Mr. Leo's case, nor had it notice that tho hog was roaming. Tho Sanitary Commlttco has not succeoded in securing n new site for a dumping ground, but Is negotiating with tho I'. & it. C. & I. Co.'s laud department. Councilman (lable reported that tho water committee recommended that tho boiough supply water for all tho schools, except tho ouo on Main street, freo of cost, tho School Hoard to hour thouxpeuso of making connec tions. The recommendation wus adopted, The water commlttco and superintendent reported that tho water works are iu good coudltioii and working nicely. Thocommltteo was instructed to consider tho claim of William McAdam of $039.50 for oxtra ser vices and report at the next meeting. A claim of Christ Schmidt for $3 for damage j to onu of his wagons by reason of a rut on West Coal street nml one of William I. j ('liimielowski for tlio loss of n horse, which 1 got in contact with allvo telephone wiro that was loosened during a storm, wcro reform! t0 tho BtrTOt ulld law c01imiUtCM respectively for Investigation Tho Chief of Police reported that 10 arrests wore made during January and all paid flue, amounting to $35. The collections of tho Chief Ilnrgess for tho month amounted to 871. Councilman lable stated that tho Woroiigli was paying No cents a ton for coal, but by entering into n contract for a your and guaranteeing to take not less than ."00 tons during that period ten cents a ton could be saved. Council instructed the president and sec retary to sign blank contracts presented by which, for the year ending December lit, 1800, the borough agrees to Uke from the P. & It. C. & I. Co. not less than fiOO and not more than :!,()00 tons of buckwheat coal at 73 cents per ton. Tho Chief Ilnrgess was directed to refuse a license foru lunch wagon on the streets.

Tho work of scheduling mid classifying; the bids for tho now loan Is being pushed rapidly, but un til that task is completed no Information of mi exact and definite character cuu bo obtnlued nt to tho amounts bid for at each of tho several rates, or us to how low nrnto will be accepted. Tho bid of J. V. Morgan mid his associ ates will undoubtedly bo accepted to a largo amount, variously estimated at from $50,000,000 to f00,000,000. In any event, It can bo stated that all legitimate bids at n rato abovo that submitted by Mr. Morgan ($U0.G877) will bo accepted, and that all bids below that rate will bo rejected. It was expected by the treasury ofllclals that tho secretary would bo ablo to oxcr clso some discretion In tho acceptance of bids, and therefore would bo in a position to give tho preference to parties who would agree to obtain their gold from abroad. Tho fact, however, that All bids higher than that inado by Mr. Morgan must bo accepted precludes tho possibility of his making any discrimination whatever, ex cept in raro cases, wlicro tho bidder shows that ho has foreign gold on the way here, ami asks foru slight extension of time in which to mako his deposit.

Tho storm of rain and wind which bogan Wednesday night Is tlio most sovuro that has visited this vi cinity formally months, and although the velocity of the wind has moderated some, tho rain continues at this hour, and the sky shows no sign of clearing. At times during tlio day the wind blow at tho rato of seventy-two miles an hour, and nothing liko Its wild sweep up Broadway nml through tho long avenues has been seen In tills city for years. Women and chil dren were blown off their feet and into tho streets In many cases. At least a dozen people woro taken to their homos or a hos pital in patrol wagons during the day, suffering from outs and bruises Inflicted by Hying timbers nml umbrellas. Sign boards and brick from chimneys are scat tcied promiscuously about tho streets. So far as reported, however, there has been no loss of llfo as a result of tho storm in this city. Brooklyn did not faro so well. Two men are dead and another dying as a result of tho collapso of tho threo and a half story cooperago In Thirty-ninth street. Treos wcro uprooted, fences and the tops of sheds and outhouses wcro blown down and window glass broken. Tlio wind ut Its height blow down part of tho grand stand of tho Queens County Jockey club grounds at Aqueduct.

Tho men clung to tho overturned boat, nml a gig containing flvo of tho crow of tho man-of-war Columbia, which was anchored near by, put out to tho rescue. Tho force of tlio wind tore tho sloop Into pieces, and ono of tho men, clinging to a part of tho wreck, flouted ashore at St. George. Ono of the men was drowned. Tho third man was picked up by tho maii of war crow nml taken nshoro nt St. George. Down tho bay boats wero Hung around like chips lu tho storm. Tho American ship J. U. Walker, Captain Wallace, started from her pier In tow of the tugs Municipal and V. W. Dovoe for tho Krio basin, to bo ilrydockcd. As soon as slio was clear of tho pier the wind took clinrgo of her, and slio wus blown through Butter milk channel, dragging tho tugs along with hor, and touched on a shoal off .Gov ernor's Island. She was then blown across the bay, being entirely beyond control of the tugs. She struck broadside on against tho pier of this Liberty Island Steamboat company, on Liberty Island, where she now lies. Captain Duff, tho mate and three en gineers of tho British steamer Lemiugtoii, which went ashore on Wednesday between Blue Point mid Belleport, L. 1., are still on board tho vessel. No ono has been flat to tho vessel, owing to tho storm. The I llfo saving lpen now say that those on board tho Leinington nro in great danger. At Hockaway Beach tho wind blow at tho rato of eighty miles an hour. Consid erable damage was done at tho beach by tlio heavy sea which was on. Boats wero torn from their moorings and wero carried away, and tho tldo In some plnces was abovo the railroad tracks. All tratns over tho Hockaway Bench routo wero delayed. The storm blew In most of tho windows In the Queens county court house in Long Island City. Tho city treasurer's olllco suffered the most. Trees were uprooted, mid the roofs of small houses were nlso torn off, but no serious damage occurred. The storm was especially severe In West chester county, and caused several wash outs along tho railroad lines. The tracks of the Putnam division of tho New York Central road were blocked by sand nml waters. At Mount Kisko tho sand was two feet deep on tho tracks and a loco motive was derailed. A wrecking crew was sent to tlio scene from White I'lalus nnd lmd to work for an hour beforo tho engine could be put back upon tho tracks.
