Lengthy Discussion orj the phoenix Fire
Company Case.
NOTHING DEFINITE DECIDED UPON
A Committee of tho Company Appears and
States BeaBons For Being Opposed
to the Hew Joint Fire Organi
zation OtnSr Matters
'Considered.
The Borough Council held a three-hour
session last night and indulged in lengthy
discussions on nwttars pertaining to the
water works, llro deprtment and sanitary
affairs. Tho members present were Messrs.
McGulrc. Coakley, Llly, Boehm, Magsrgle,
Shoemaker, D. It. James, Slraughu, Englert,
Gahlo, Brennan, Mtlfphy, Hand and Keese.
W. P. ltamsey, Esq., of Mahanoy City, ap
pear In behalf of Jacob Feifer and said he
would like to arrangB affairs amicably be
tween the latter and tho Borough Council.
Ho felt sure theie wss some misunderstand
ing and Mr. I'elfer wm ready and willing to
carry out his coal hauling contract. The
matter was finally lslil over until tho next
meeting to glvo tho efmmitteo a chance to
get all facts in the mtjL
Tho noxt subject taBen up was the state-
incut of tho Fhoonir fflro Company. At its
last meeting Council Intruded tho secretary
to notify the olllcors of tho company to ap
uoar and stoto why the company refused to
joiu tho new llro department. In pursuance
of tho notice William Mitchell, the president,
and Mr. O'Haren, tho secretary of tho com
pany, appeared and gavo their statements.
Mr. Mitchell said tho old system gavo satis
faction aud his company didn't see the
necessity of a new one ; hut, of course, if
Cutincll deemed it wise to abolish the old one
ho supposed tho Fhoenix Company would
have to submit. He also stated that somo of
the rules of the-now department were such
that the members of the company could not
comply with them.
Mr. O Ilaren was given tlie lloor ami lie
took some time In citing tho rules to winch
ho compauy oljeoted. He could not see
how tho .new orgaulmtion could ho of any
benefit, or what It could accomplish other
than creating a multiplicity of officials and
rules, l'ottsvlllo' and Shenandoah aro
different towns, he said, and rules that would
apply to the former place could not operate
satisfactorily in Shenandoah. JIo particularly
objected to tho .rules imposing fines for
infractions of tho rules and said it was hard
enough to keep tho firo companios lulact
without resorting to tho imposition of linos
for any petty offense tbaf may be committed.
Ho did not know of any troublo occurring
between tho llro companies at 11 res.
Mr. Iteeso mado reply In defence or tho
new organization, maintaining that the only
object was to secure hotter ami more oll'ectivo
discipline.
Mr. Hand thought there should bo bettor
discipline in tho department, but believed it
would bo bettor for all tho trustees to get
together and possibly the objectlonablo
features of the rules could bo stricken out.
Finally Mr. Gablo moved that tho matter
he referred back to tho firo apparatus com
mittee to request the Phoenix Firo Company
to sent its representatives to fix up the matter
amicably.
Mr. McGuIro moved an amendment that
tho llro companies be requested to select their
host members for tho positions of llro mar
shal and assistant lire marshals and that tho
matter bo not referred back to tho committee
On a voto botli the ameudmout and tho
original motion was lost.
Mr. Itccso gavo notice that tho firo trustees
will meet next Mouday evening and if the
Phoenix Fire Campany will send its trustees
thoy will be prepared to meet and do business
with them.
Mr. Lally objected to tho flro apparatus
committee, proceeding in the matter until
tho present ordinance is adoptod.
In answer to Mr. McGuiro tho president
stated that tho mattor stood iu the same
shano It did before the prosont meeting was
held. Mr. McGuiro demurred to tho ruling.
Roads and highways mattors wero then
taken up and Mr. Boehm stated that Super
intendent Baird, of Kehley Kun colliery,
bad stopped tho borough from using tho
stono quarry, but tho Glrard Estate officials
had since given permission to uso tho quarry
An inlet has been made at Cherry street and
Market alloy.
A tilt then followed over the amount of
cross' n g plates tho borough should order.
Mr. Englert mado a motion fixing tho uum
bor at 50. Mr. Coakloy made an amendment
increasing the number to 100 and 1). It. James
offered an amendment that tho number be GO.
On a vote tho two amendments and tho
original motion were knocked out.
Subsequently Mr. Mcuuiro moved that the
street committee order tho number of plates
required aud place thorn whoro needed, and
this motion was carried.
Mr. Englort reported tho bridgo at Cath
erine street and Huckleberry alley in bad
condition.
Mr. Murpny said two crossings were
needed on Lloyd street, corner of Gilbert,
ono on Centre street and one on Chestnut
street, corner of Lloyd.
Mr. Boehm called attention to tho faet
that there are no pavement at two of the
places named by Mr. Murphy and said the
people should give encouragement to the
street committee by showing a willingness to
help thomsclves.
V). It. James said two crossings were needed
on Laurel street and oue on Jam in street,
He thoHiiht all crossings should be laid aud
let the Chief Burgess compel tho laying
pavements.
Mr. Coakley stated that he and Mr Lally,
representing the law committee, bad fol
lowed the instructions at the last meeting
s ml called upon Judge Bechtel aud Lawyers
Whalen and Sobalck to urge the speedy trial
and settlement of the Flynu case aud bud re
eclved satissaotory assurances.
The secretary read a letter from Lawyer
Scbalck giving assurances as reported by Mr.
Coakley and also containing tho following
comments and opinion :
"It ls.dus to Mr. Pomeroy and. myself to
add that, while the t'lynnwall uuauettion
ably creates and maintains a nuisance, there
is room for argument and doubt as to tbe
authority of the borough officials to enter
upon private property to abate such nuis
ance; ftnd heme we are not able to foretell
tho ultimate result of the uow pending bill
There is. however, no doubt that any
erty owner or resident in the infected locality
could have had the nulsauce abated loug ago,
in fact, could liave prevented the erection
of the wall altogether if they had only
oared to spend a few dollars in good time to
make the fight they should have made for
themselves, instead of throwing the wliol
burden on the Council.
Aud, furthermore, there is uot the least
doubt abont the most nnsolute power and
anthorliy of the Board nf Health, through
Its Health Officer, to enter Flynn's premises
at any time to tear down that wall, and to
abate that nuisance, just as I wanted them
to do last fall already. Their list refusal to
stir thomxelvcs in the matter, and their
openly siding with Flynn, is the reul cause
of all this trouble. They should promptly
abate the nulsauce, as It Is a constant menace
to the health of your people, and then let
the relative rights and duties of Flynn and
of the borough te adjusted by court in an
appropriate action at law, for Plvnn has
ample remedies at law for all wrongs (if fiuy)
that were done him."
A lengthy discussion then followed mi
sanitary affairs and tbe subject was dually
laid ver until the Ooftlicll makss Its annual
tour of the town on Decoration Day to
enable the members to understand the re
spective esses.
A request from the Shenandoah Sewerage
Company (P. F. Braillgan, P. J. Clearyaiid
William P. Delaney) for permission to run
sewerage pities from Centre street north on
Gilbert street to Itaspberry alley and east on
that alley to West street was granted by
motion of D. It. James on condition that the
borough have the right to put Inlets at every
crossing.
On motion of Mr. McGulre It was doclded
that If there is no grade on East Cherry
street and tho south end of Whito street that
Mrs. Clesry's request for a grade be granted.
The resignation of T. J. James as a mem
ber of Council from the Third ward was
rend and Mr. Coakley moved that It be
accepted with a vote of thanks to Mr. James
for his labors and fidelity while a member of
the body.
A request from J. B. Davis for premlssion
to run sewerage pipes on Union street, from
Centre to Lloyd street, was granted on mo
tion of Mr. Coakloy.
President Straughn announced the follow
ing sppointments to fill vacancies on com
mittees; M. L. Shoemaker, law; It. D. Reese,
lamp and watch; D. R. James, finance.
The presidont stated It was necessary that
tho finance cominitteo report tho appropria
tions at tho next meeting.
Mr. Lally criticized the President for not
maklug appointment from tho Democratic
members, as Council stands 7 to 7.
President Strauehn replied that tho nni.

An application from Mr. Wofdensaul. of

Washington, May 21. The long and
exciting debate on the joint resolution
recognising the existence of a state
of war In Cuba, and declaring that
strict neutrality shall be maintained
by the United States, passed the sen
ate by the decisive vote of 41 to 14 at
a late hour yesterday afternoon. The
announcement of the vote was received
with tumultuous applause, which drew
from Senator Hawley an emphatic pro
test against "mob demonstration." The
vote on the final passage o the resolu
tion was as follows:

An nhnhral. nt tltA vnla oVinti-c tnnt
tho afllrmativa was qast by 18 Itepub
licans, ID Pemoorats and 4 Populists,
and the negative by 12 Republicans and
2 Democrats.
Prior to the final vote the motion of
Senator Hale to refer the resolution to
the committee on foreign relations was
tabled by" a vote of 34 to 19. Mr. Fair
banks, fit Indiana, then proposed a sub
stitute providing that the president ex
tend the Rood ofllces of the United
81316810 Spain toward securing an end
to the conflict and the ultimate Inde
pendence of the Island. This, too, was
tabled 35 to IS. Then followed the
adoption of the original resolution.
The voting occurred after an exciting
debate, parplpated in by Senators'
Thurston of Nebraska, Klkins of West
Virginia, White of California, Fair
banks of Indiana, Hale of Maine, Gor
man of Maryland al Spooner of Wis
consin, .air. 'jLiiursion, wno presmea
over the Republican national conven
tion at St. Louis, recalled the stirring
scene when that convention enthusias
tically Inserted a -Cuban plank In the
platform, and declared that this reso
lution was In partial fulfillment of tho
pledges. Messrs. Blklns and White
urged a. conservative course, and an
Inquiry by a committee. Then came
the first vote that on the Hale motion
to refer. It was a test of strength, and
the defeat of the motion assured the
passage of the resolution.
This brought Mr. Hale forward for a
final protest. He spoke with Intense
earnestness and feeling, and with a
trace of bitterness In his words. He de
clared that elements opposed to the ad
ministrationDemocrats and Populists
had furnished the bulk of the vote
In favor of tke resolution, and that the
foreign policy of the administration
was thus to be dictated by its oppo
nents. He expressed the fear, also,
that the resolution would lead to war
with Spain. Mr. Spooner added his
protest against tying the hands of the
administration. Mr. Gorman closed the
debate,, resenting the suggestion that
party lines were drawn on the resolu
tion, and asserting that the adminis
tration should have dispatched a war
vessel to Cuba to protect our officials
on the Island, The final vote was then
taken and the senate adjourned until
next Monday.
Cuban affairs furnished the house
with a day of bitter partisan debate.
The resolution appropriating $60,000 for
the relief of American citizens waB
adopted without a dissenting vote, but
the Democrats endeavored to force
consideration also of the Morgan reso
lution for recognition of the belliger
ency of the Isurgents. They accused
the Republicans of endeavoring to
evade this Issue, but the dominant
party, through Its spokesman, Mr. Hltt,
made the Important statement that
the Republicans desired not to embar
rass negotiations whloh were being
projooted by President MoKlnley-to se
oure the Independence of Cuba. While
Mr. Hut disclaimed presidential au
thority for his statement, It was well
known that he had been in consultation
with Mr. MeKlnley on the question,
and knew whereof he spoke.
President MeKlnley is not likely to be
called up to take action upon the Cu
ban resolution passed by the senate
for some time, and perhaps not at all.
The resolution would not be sent to
him for his approval until It had been
adopted by the house, and whether the
house takes It up must be decided here
after. It Is known that Mr. MeKlnley
desires the postponement of final con
gressional action on the Cuban ques
tion until the rport of Mr. Calhoun,
who is on the island to- Investigate the
conditions there, has been made.
The senate resolution can be brought
before tue house only by a special rule,
and Speaker Reed Is known to be op
posed to its adoption at this time.
There may be much pressure brought
to bear by the Republicans who think
early action on the Cuban question
aaviaauie 10 nave tne resolution adop
ted by the house, but so long as the
leaders consider that it may embar
rass President McKlnley's plaits it Is
likely to us on the table.
