RESTRICTIONS OH USE OF WATER People Who Devote or Their Supply to the Sprinkling or Streets Will he Fined and Collection Enforced by Cutting Off the Water. A regular meeting of tho Borough Council was held last night with tho following mem bers in attendance s Messrs. McGuiro, Lally, Coakley, Magarglc, Boehm, Schoppe, D. It. James, Straughn, Gable, Kerns, Kccso, Hand, Murphy and President T. J. James. Ulie meeting was a short one, but considerable important business was transacted. Mr. C. E. Titman asked that a committeo meet him to consider a proposition ho has to mako for tho Shenandoah Water & Gas Com pany to give tho borough a supply of water. Tho water committeo will meet Mr. Titman this evening. Charles Schoppe was sworn in by Chief Burgess Burns as a member of Council In tho Second ward, to succeed Mr. Mchlliciiny, resigned. Mr. Schoppe will servo on tho same committees Mr. McEllieuny served on Tho cribbing work at tho west end of Coal street will begin at onto. Tho road from Turkey Bun to tho Pennsylvania derot lias been repaired. A gutter is being placed at Bowers street and Apple alley. Tho gutter on tho sanio alley at White street will bo lowered. A special meeting of Council will bo held next Tuesday evening for tho purpose of considering and settling the exoneration lists for 1801. Orders for tho annual appropriations of ?500 each for tho Columbia, Kescno and Phoenix firo companies were authorized. Borough Solicitor Pomeroy read an ordi nanco amending tho water works ordinance so as to provide that tho water supcrintcn dent shall remain in ollico until his suc cessor is elected. Tho amendment was adopted. Tho lockup is now complete and tho steol cells glvo excellent satisfaction. The idea of laying a new walk from Jardin street to tho lockup lias been abandoned. Tho old ono will last somo time as repaired. Tho borough has not yet secured a sito for a public dumping ground, An answer is awaited from tho land department of tho P. & II. C. & I. Co. There wero 11 bidders for contract for hauling coal from the Braudonvillo station to tho pumping station of tho water works, Jacob Peltier, of Brandonville, was tho lowest bidder. Hi3 figures wore 33 cents a ton on a 1-year contract, 30 cents on 2 years and 28 cents on 3 years. It was decided to award him the contract on condition that at any time within tho threo years that Council may adopt other methods for gettinf coal to tho pumping station it will bo al lowed to cancel the contract without danger of a suit for damages. Mr. Gable, chairman of tho water com- mlttce, niado a lengthy report in which ho made many recommendations, among them that tho boiler houso of tho pumping sta tion bo enlarged so as to afford cover for tho coal and that steps bo taken to prevent waste of coal in loading and unloading. Ho stated that somo cars havo been returned to the railroad company with as much as a half ton of coal in them. Tho pumping station needs n general overhauling in tho way of painting, etc. A protest was also made against tho recklessness with which somo peoplo spriuklo tho streets and it was charged that they uso garden hoso for that purpose to avoid paying tho firo companies a small sum weekly for doing tho sprinkling. Superintendent Betteridgo said ho caught 13 peoplo engaged In tho sprinkling of streets on Wednesday and notified all of them that if they persisted in tho practlco ho would fino them f 1 for each offense and cut off the water until tho lino is paid. Ho stated that ho found no violations yesterday. Tho water works ordinauco only allows pavo washing, and that only between tho hours of 0 and 8 a. m. Tho water in tho Braudonvillo reservoir lias ceased Hawing over tho waste way and tho supply in Fowler's Kun reservoir is gradually goingdowu, so that all precaution will bo required to proveut wasto. It was also complained that tho Columbia Brewing Compnuy consumes a groat deal of water in washing wagons. Iho water is not run through tho company's meter, but is taken from a connection with the main. Tho Water Committeo proposes cutting off the connection and require tho brewery to mako uso of tho meter. It was also stated that it would pay tho borough to put motors in sevoml housos, if only for a tent. Somo public housos consume water to an outrageous oi toxt.

Yours truly, Geo. J.

A communication from M. M. Burke, Esq., asking that tho Judgment of M. A. lloyer against tho borough bo settled, was referred to tho law committee with instructions to ascertain tiio best settlement that can bo mado.

PROTECTION FOR THE CONSUMER The Measure Makes Ample Provision for the Detection of the Inferior Article The Houso Unseats a Democrat and Seats a Colored Member. Washington, June 5. Tho scimto had ono of tho busiest sessions of this congress yesterday. Initoln tho day tho filled chouse hill wns passed 11s It camo from tho house by 11 vote of 37 to 13, thus completing the congressional legislation on this subject. Tho measure is analagous to tho oleomar garine law. Tho bill defines filled ohcose to embrnco "all substances mado of milk or sklmmod milk, with tho admixture of butter, animal nils or fats, vegetable or any other oils, or compounds foreign to sucli nunc, mul mado in Imitation or sem blance of choose." Manufacturers of filled clicjso nro taxed f 100 annually, wholosalo dealers, fc JoO; re tail dealers, 13. In addition to theso taxes tho product itself is taxed 0110 cent per pound and imported filled cheoso Is taxoil eight cents per pound in addition to tho import duty. It is provided that filled cheese shall bo packed by the manufac turers In wooden packages only, and branded with tho words "filled choeso" In black faced letters not loss than two Inches in length. It is als provided that nil retail and wholosalo dealers In filled cheeso shall display in a cniispiclous place in tho saleroom a sign boaringtho words, "Killed cheo.so sold hero," In black faced lotters not loss than six inches in length, upon a white ground. Aftor tho disposal of tho filled cheeso bill nil miimated contost occurred over Mr. Iiodgo's motion to tako up tho immigra tion bill. A number refrained from vot ing, thus breaking n quorum. After dila tory tactics had proceeded forhnlf an hour Mr. Lodgo was obliged to withdraw the motion. Tho controversy over thonumberof bat tleships romulns open, Mr. Quay's motion that tho senate roeodo from its (intendment reducing tho liumlior of ships from four to two being defeated by a voto of 17 to 33. Tho sonato also defeated a motion by Mr. Lodgo to roccdo from Its amendment re lating to sectarian Indian schools. Tho joint resolution wns passed for a scientific Inquiry into tho seal llfo in Ilehring son. Hyavotoof 153 to 33 tho houso decided against tho claim of William Elliott from tho First South Carolina district and gave tho seat to George W. Itiurray. Mr. Mur ray is a colored man, and in tho Fifty-first congress was selected In place of Sir. El liott. Tho latter had 1,731 majority on the face of tho returns, but the committee found that the former had carried tho dis trict by n majority of 431. Mr. Murray was given a round of applause when he camo forward to bo swirn In. Mr. KUiott is tho ninth Democrat unseato.l by thu present houso. Tho remainder of tho day was mainly occupied in debating the ca-e of Martin vs. Lockhart, from the Seventh Xorth Carolina district. The contestant is a Populist, and Mr. Kem, the Populist member from Xobraska, who has Ix'ou waging n guerilla warfare In tho houso with 11 viow to getting up a bill In which ho Is Intorestod, was considerably embar rassed by this caso, as ho was" forced into tho position of objecting to tho filing of tho views of tho minority. This caused dissatisfaction on tho Republican side among members who did not tloiro to vote until they had an opportunity to examine both sides of tho ease. H was finally ar ranged to read tho report and let tho voto lx taken today. Tho senr.to amondmcnts to the bill to retire Commander (Juackenbush wjre adopted. German lutrlguo in Sninoa.
