The hut regular meeting of the Borough
Council for the present fiscal year was held

This discussion wae brought up by a reading

was Instructed to read tho 1 fWJimnnt. and
alter lie had done so Mr. Lally moved that

Straughn arose and said, "I don't see how
uy luemoer oi tme Borough Council
auer neanng tue report read, can make
morion to accept ami file a reflection
upon every member of this body. I believe
mis uouncit lias done Its duty so far as tho
Fiynn case is concerned. We hav innuWi
to tho Board of Health for assistance in tho
matter and they have ignored us. This
riynu matter Is a private nuisance, and who
has superior authority in matters of tliat
kiuu man tue Hoard of Health? And

lias ucetpauccteu uy that nuisanco. I, for

iir. Mcuuiro took an onnnsttn oloiv r n
and said : "I don't believe this Council has
lone its duty in that matter, and it Is not
doing its duty now. We bad notice that a
wall was to havo been built. It was thoduty

he had dono all in his powor to push the
case and, so far as he knew, there
was only ouo instance when either

Interjeoted into the evidence so the num

against this Council. I prosume this Council

Mr. Iteese said : "That was mv nr.lnin
when I heard the report read and my opinion
is '.that the report should be accepted aud
burned. They liave gone entirely too far,
and It is entirely out of order, and my vote
win go on record to nave it thrown aside."
Mr. Coakloy said Mr. I'omerov's eznlnnn.
tion as to the postponements of the casa was
satisfactory to him.
Mr. Qahle said the insinuations Im the.
communication were iimulting to every mem
ber of Council aud the report should 1m
burned.
Mr. Hand wae clear in his remarks. n
aid: "These are my views on the report. It
Is a criticism on this Couucii from start to
finish. Tbe suit tbe borough has is on Mia
question as to whether Mr. Fiynn has the
right to block that creek, or not."
Mr. Lally coincided in the views '
by Mr. McUuire aud claimed that under one
of the ordinances the borough bad control of
all sewers and water courses in the borough,
hut Council had not enforced tbe ordinance.
President T. J. James replied that Council
was advised by its Solicitor tliat it had no
right to go on private property, or interfere
with anybody's private property, and the
Board of Health has more authority than
Council, If there is a nuisance, tbe Board
of Health hat power to go upon private
property and abate it.
Solicitor Fomeroy again took tbe floor and
id: "What I, as Solicitor, object to is that.
wliile tho matter is still pendiug in tbe bands
of the court, the Board of Health l.,.i,M
Blattis , prejudge the matter, render a legal decision.
draw a couclusion, and then intorject it into
the testimony in the Flynu case. They put
an tins iu to snow mat tue Hoard of Health
authorities antagonize the borough in tills
whole thing. AU the public nuisances are in
the hands of the Board of Health. It de
rives its powers from the Legislature, and not
from ordinances. It is net necessary for the
Chief Burgess to come to Council to ask for
Instructions as to what his duties are, and It
is not necessary tor the Health Officer to
come here and ask what he shall do. Let
him attend to his duties ; let the Chief Bur
gess attend to his; and let us attend to ours."
Finally tbe motion to accept and file tbe
report was defeated by a vote of 8 to 4.
Mr. Straughn moved that the l-ennrr. h.
returned with a statement that Council is
wining to accept the report with that nnrtlnn
referring to the Fiynn cafe out out. The
motion was carried by a vote 6T 7 to 4.

Pri-riBuaft, Feb. 18. A settlement of the
case against Professor C. I). Bogart, of Shen
andoah, P., convicted of assault committed
near this olty, may be prevented by a huge
bill of costs just computed. The prosecution
nas agreed not to press for a sentence of
imprisonment if Bogart will hand in his
resignation as Principal of the Shenandoah,
(Pa.) public schools. The defence is con
fronted by oosta which reach 650. The queer
feature about this enormous bill is that it is
made up of the fees of citizens of Shenan
doah who could not have possibly known of
any circumstances connected with the orime.

serted was rendered inoperative by the
milieu states company. lie was asked:
JDoes not a great deal of your stock
represent only water, which your com
pany's directors expect some day to
develop Into something- which may pay
dividends?"
"We have our trademarks and pat
entsthey are very valuable, Just as
valuable as bricks and mortar."
"Isn't It just this practice of Issuing
a larsre amount of stock for what is
called goodwill that has brought these
individual combinations into disre
pute?" Mr. Tllnt denied that the United
States Rubber company was in disre
pute.
"How do you explain that the 'dear
public' Is only admitted to share In the
benefits after the nominal value ot the
stock Is Increased?"
"Well, they could not share In it un
til the consolidation was made."
"How do you explain that
stockholders Increased In five
from 300 to 6,000?"
"I desire to any that the present ex
ecutive committee of- the United
States Rubber company hold about
J10,000,COO Of this stock."
"That Is to say, the original Insiders
lioia 110,000,000 and that 123,000,000 has
been disposed of, the capitalization be
ing $39,660,000?"
"All the large original stockholders
still hold about the same amount of
stock. Today an isolated property, if
it had to be sold, might not brine 00.
per cent of its value," explained Mr.
Flint.
Another Important witness was
Henry O. Havemeyer, president" of the
American Sugrar- Refining? company.
He was naked if he knew where tlje
original deed of the company was, but
pleaded Ignorance.
Mr. Havemeyer then said that the
figures showing the distribution for

cut out by Mr. Parsons by permission

of the investigation of the senate committee.
Xo you mean that?"
'Yes, sir. I say that the n
