Tlio Cnnt out hi tlin 1'lrst mid Fourth Dis
trict Tii-niorrou.
The first political skirmish in tlie Itepub
llonii ranks will take place to-morrow morn
ing, at 10 o'clock, In the four Legislative dis
trict of tlio county. Tlio First district con
vention will lie liolil In Kaler's hall, In the
oporn house building, Mahanoy City; the
Second at Ashland; the Third at Tmnnqun,
and the Fourth at l'otlsvllle. Knoh dis
trict convention will elect delegates to tho
stato convention, which meets In Harrlsburg
on tho 20th Inst.
In the First district Is the most interest
centered, whero Senator John J. Coyle and
ex-Rcproscntatlvo Joseph Wyatt nro opposed
by George Brill, of Delano, and O. T.
Straughn, of town. The lines nro pretty
closely drawn and each side have their friends
at work in the closing hours of the canvas.
This morning's Minors' Journal, speaking of
this contest, gives a pretty clear statement of
the status of the fight, as follows : "The
fight for state delegato in the First legisla
tive district is still raging. Tho friends of
Straughn and Drill claim their election by a
handsome, majority. Tho friends ' of State
Senator Coylo and ox-Rcpreseutatlvo Wyatt
are also making claim that they will pull
through but by a close margin. From in
formation received at a Into hour last night
we aro led to believe that tlio delegates from
that district will certainly ho for Charlos
Straughn and George Brill."
In tho Second district there is llttlo excito
nient and it Is conceded that George Patter
011, of Ashland, will be tlio delegate to the
state convention.
There is a lively contest in tho Third dis
trict, with flvo candidates in tho field. Only
ono delegate is to bo olocted . ,
Like the First district, tho Fourth has a
battle royal In n contest between tho -Quay
and anti-Quay forcos. Tho candidates of tho
latter faction are : James Muir, of i'ottaville;
S. A. Loscb, Schuylkill Haven; William
Moore, Tremont, and 'Squire J. J. Edwards,
or St. Clair. Those who will carry the Quay
Penrose banner in this contest aro Hon. C.
N. Brumra, of MinersvLle ; Frank Moore, of
1'ottsviIIo ; Daniel Mcssnor, of Tower City ;
Isaac Loeli, Sclitiylkill Haven, and John F
Finney, Pottsvlllo. This district is entitled
to four delegates, and it is a question of doubt
as to who will win. Thore aro any number
of combinations being made, which compli
cates matter.

SESSION I
The Regular Meetlnjr Htld Last Night
a Lengthy one.
NO ACTION ON ELECTRIC LIGHT !
The LakeBldo Electric Railway Company
Must Begin to Raise Its Track Within
Ten Days, or Us Oars Will be
Stopped at the Borough
Line.
A regular meeting of the Borough Council
was held last evening with nil the members
in attendance. Councilman Reese served as
chairman of the meeting, as It was lato when
President Stmughn arrived, Mr. Nelswender,
who was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of T. J. Jaines, answered roll
vail and Mr. McOulre asked If the new mem
ber had qualified. The Chief Burgess re
plied that he administered the oaths of office
to tho new Councilman and High Constable
Dovcrs.
The electric light question was not up for
discussion, but echoes of Flying's stone wall
wero resurrected. Michael Graham stated
that the people affected were tired of waiting
for a decision from tho eodrt and would liko
Council to do something ta hurry it, as they
havo claims for damages to make and cannot
proceed until tho court decides who is re
sponsible for the condition of nll'airs. Ho
also stated that bis collars had again been
Hooded and several of his tenants had
threatened to leave his properties. Should
thoy do this ho would low at least $05 a
tnontu.
Frank B.ilshanlck and Mike Pribula spoko
in the same strain and tho Oouncilmeu dis
cussed tho matter, after wiiieh it was decided
that the Borough Solicitor be Instructed to
communicate with Judgo Lyon to see if an
curly decision in tlio case of Flynn against
tho borough can be secured.
John Canflcld, representing Swift A Co.,
stated that the-eompany wished to improve
us iiiarKei on uentre and Bowers streets and
asked permission to occupy a part of the
lavement on the west side or the street
about 00 Act long and 0 feet wldo. This
sldo of tlio street, ho said, is never used by
tho public and a part of it is already occu
pied by citizens. Tho company would agree
to remove the building wherievor Council
should demand.
Tho oxporience Council has had witli J. J.
Fianoy in connection with tho part of Oak
street whlclsonio Councllmen thought somo
years ago would, never ho of use to tho
borough proved a handicap to Mr. Canflold
aud tho request was refused, tjio sentiment
being that Council has no rlgfjt to glvo up
any public property to individual use.
Tho Chief Burgoss asked thift tho laying
of a crossing at Lloyd and Bowora street ho
hurried, so that pavements and gutters mav
be laid.
Mr. James reported that the oloctrle rail
way companies had been notified to pay tho
taxes due on their cars.
Mr. James aroso on a question of nrivilnen
and stated that tho Health Officer had told
two citizens on South Main street that Mr.
James had instructed tho officer to compol
incm to put in sewerage. Mr. Jamos wauted
it distinctly understood that ho eavo no
instructions and that in reporllng tho nuis
ances on South Main strcot ho had no
roferenco whatever to tho McN'ealls and
Tiemey properties, hut to the Lehigh Valloy
property anu two saloons there.
It was decided to employ a Pottsvlllo naver
at $8 per day to repair tho paved portion of
South Main street.
Mr. Tiorncy was granted permission to
ruu a sewer line under Main street and to
connect with tho public sewer running down
ropiar street. This action was taken on
recommendation by Mr. Boohm and motion
of Mr. James.
Tho matter of eomnollluE the lowering of
tho Lakoslde Railway track on East Centre
street was up again and upon motion of Mr.
James it was decided that if tho company
doos not lower tho track within ton days the
uorougn solicitor go Into court aud nrocure
an injunction restraining tho company from
running cars into tho borough. Tho Chief
Burges3 said ho had already given ton days'
notice and thought tho steps shoqld be taken
at once, but tho motion prevailed.
Jlr. Uoakley complained that the culvert at
tho corner of Coal aud White streets was not
largo enough to tako tho flow of water and
pavements in that vicinity wero covered with
mud by reason of the defect. It was decided
to put a largo pipo thero.
On motion of Mr. James It was decided
that the north side of Laurel street, between
Jardlu and West, bo cut down to grade.
Mr. imglort said a crosslnc was needed at
Cherry and Catherine streets.. Referred to
the street committee.
Mr. Reese said tlio bridge at the west end
of Centre street needed repairs and Mr. Lally
called attention to the East Centre street
bridge being blocked.
Mr. Reeso reported that tho iiow sliut-ou
nozsles had been tested and were very satis
factory, and that tho fire plug at the comer
of Main and Cherry streets was not iu a
serviceable condition.
The purchase of 21 firo police and 30 special
police badges and a section of hose for the
Rescue II. & L. Co. was authorized.
Mr. lirennan stated that the Borough Sur
veyor had announced that he would not be a
candidate for re-election, as lie had too much
other business to look after.
On motion of Mr. Stmughn It was decided
to elect nsnrvoyor at tie next regular meet
ing. It was decided to secure bids for a brick or
flag pavement at the entrance to the loekup.
The Construction committee was Instructed
to seeure bids for placing the tower ou the
Borough building in safe condition, The
supports of the tower are lieoonilng twisted
on account of tlio vibration caused by the
ringing of the fire alarm bell.
Mr. Coakley stated that the bond had been
received from the Solicitor to be executed by
J. J. Franey aud also the notices to lie served
on the Commercial Eleetrle Light Company,
prohibiting the plnciug of boilers under
Plum alley and Oak street, aud the matters
would be attended to.
Borough Solicitor Pomeroy stated that to
have the bond legally executed it will be
necessary to nave the directors of tlio Com
mercial Electric Light Company meet and
authorise the act. Iu default of this the
bond would be of uo legal value.
Mr. James said there wero several nubances
in the town and he didn't see the wisdom of
paying flO a month to a Health Officer and
not have nuisances abated. The Solicitor
took a hand iu the discussion that followed
and said that the Borough Council, so far as
public nuisances are concerned, except iu
In eases of a very peculiar character,
is relieved of all uuuwneea in tlid
borough. They are under the specific di
rection of the Board of Health, which de
rives its power from the mine source tho
Council gets its power the Legislators. The
Board Is the Council's appointee, but not It
servant. If the Board does not dlsohargo Its
duty it Is not the fault of the Borough Coun
cil. There may be certain oases where, if
t ne iioam won't Mt, the Council should, but
there is no responsibility on Council so far as
arts of the Hoard of Health are concerned.
Let the Board of Health sbooliler Ita own re
sponsibilities aud the Council do likewise.
Mr. Straughn said the trouble was that the
people don't look nt toe matter in that light
and don't place the responsibility where it
belongs,. If thore lie any nuisance In regard
to the sanitary condition of the borough,
Council is always held responsible, yet the
Solicitor states clearly that the matters are In
the province of the Board he therefore moved
that the secretary be instructed to draw the
attention of the Board of Health to the
nuisances complained of and request that
the Board instruct the Health Officer to
abate them at once. The motion was carried.
The places designated in the complaint were:
The extreme end of West Coal street, ex
treme ends of Sou'h Jnrdin and South West
streets, West Centre street, near the Greek
church, west end of Strawberry alley and a
cess pool corner StMwberry alley and Gilbert
streets.
It was decided that a 1-inch water pipe be
laid from the comer of Catherine street and
Jnneberrv alley, east on the alley 260 feet.
A bill of fS.M for repairing a fire plug at
Centre and Bowers streets, was laid over and
led to a discussion of tho right of pcoplo to
use water and firo plugs to clean out cess
pools. An ordinance wat read showing that
there is a flue of $28 for using a plug without
authority nnd the Water Committee was In
structed to prepare regulations govorning tho
use of water.
Tho same committee was instructed to get
n blue print of the property purchased from
W. L. Torbort and also a writteu agreement
from C. E. Titmau in connection with the
fire plug which he has requested Council to
leavo undisturbed at tho oomor of Main and
Centre streets.

From Company nouses.
Plttsburar. Aug. 8. Out of the 1000
strikers who camped at Turtle Creek
last Saturday barely WO now remain
at Camp Determination. In addition
to the large number of men who were
turned out of camp and out oft from
the free lunch distribution yesterday
many were drafted to Plum Creek,
where the streat struggle for supremacy
between the strikers and the tfew York
and Cleveland Qas Coal company will
be carried on.
At Turtle and Sandy Creeks the strik
ers have practically won. Turtle Creek
mine, known as No. 4, Is closed down
as tight aa the strikers can ever hope
to close it by their present peaceful
means of agitation. It Is true that a
few men are still at work in the pit
but they nre not putting out any coal.
The same holds good at Sandy Creek,
lleports from Plum Creek are compli
cating. Superintendent DeArmitt, It Is
snld, claims that 265 men are still work
ing, while the strikers say they counted
hut SO going Into the pit.
The deputies at Plum Creek are hav
ing a hard time, many are complain
ing and a number have resigned. There
Is no such thing as uninterrupted rest
for the deputies. They are up from
daylight until long after the sun has
set. They are under a constant strain.
All the mines are connected by private
telegraph and telephone wires, and
every stranger or body of strangers
moving along the highway is immedi
ately reported to the nearest office by
scouts, and the foremen or managers
of all the pits get notice. At the point
upon which any march thus reported
seema to be directed there is a stir
ninong- the deputies. As these march
es are matters of almost dally occur
rence, day and night, in all directions,
the. deputies are In a state of appre
hension nnd activity. There nre 76
deputies on duty here, and it is stated
that the number will not be decreased
for the present.
Early yesterday morning Superin
tendent Samuel DeArmitt had a brush
with the marchers. They were on the
march, and as ho approached they
opened ranks for him to pass througli.
When they neared the end ot tho roailiUi fancy colored tods, solid black or
1 .1 1 1. lru - . t n t. -T. T
leading Into the Murraysville road he
stopped them, saying tho road was the
private property of the Now York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company. The men
held a consultation and concluded to
march on, which they did. DeArmitt
marched with them, threatening them
with arrest, but no arrests were made.
It became rumored among the camp
ers yesterday that President W. P. De
Armitt had made arrangements to
bring 300 colored men to the mines
from Virginia, and that they would be
here oy tomorrow.
"Citizens of the South Side who are
in sympathy with the striking coal
miners undertook In a novel way yes
terday to secure contributions of pro
visions from the merchants of the
South Side, to be sent to the commis
sary department of the miners' camos.
A local band wbb cfjaged, together
wiiu several laree' express wagons,
and a procession headed by a stand of
the national colors was formed. The
band played patriotic music and slowly
moved up Carson street, stopping at
each corner. The merchants all along
the route came forward with liberal
contributions of everything needed, and
soon the wagons wero filled. At the
south side market liberal oontribu
tions of vegetables were placed on the
wagons.
The miners' families along the Mpn
ongahela valley are reported to be
wanting the necessities of life. Desti
tution is prevalent at every mining
hamlet and hundreds of families have
not had enough to eat for several days
At Monongahela City a soup house has
been started and a committee appoint
ed to solicit subscriptions.
Miners' day closed in this city by a
meeting on Duquesne wharf, where a
large crowd of from 8,000 to 10,000 peo
ple assembled to hear liilgeue V. Debs
and several local speaker make ad
dresses. The sneakers were given a
hearty reception, and the sentiments
expressed were loudly cheered.
It Is learned positively that Governor
Hastings has had men in the Turtle
Creek region for two weeks past to
keep him posted on the condition of the
strike. Paotory Inspector Campliell has
been the chief lieutenant of the execu
tive in this work. Colonels Logan and
McCandleaa, of the general staff, have
also been over the field and will make
their report to the governor. It Is safe
to say that they will say the National
Guard Is not needed at this time.
Eviction of strikers from company
houses was bigun yesterday by the
New York an Cleveland Gaa Coal
company. A house to bouse canvass
Is being made and when a miner an
nounces to the company official that
he Is on strike tho notice to quit the
premises In Ave days is served. This
move of the company Is creating con
siderable apprehension among the men.
