mittee had met the representatives of the
V. & K. C. & I. Co. and Kehley Hun colliery
in relation to the bridge on East Centre

the representatives assumed the position that
tueir companies wero In no way responsible;
that If bcor kegs, tin cans aud other rubbish
were kept out of the creok there wonld be
no trouble Colinoirs committee Intimated
that If the companies would clean out the
creek It was probable that the borough would
oear part or the expense, but tho reDresenta
Uvea paid no attention to it. Regarding the
proposed erection of an oil storage tank near
l olmcr'B cattle yards objection had been
mado by IJradigan Bros , and others on tho
ground that threats had been made to ralso
the Insurance rates in that vicinity should
the tank bo erected. '

tion of East Centru street, wiyiug tho stieet

been II Ik' J up to tiio mouth of the sowers
and tho street will bo fenced oil' until the
trouble about extending the private sewers
can be settled.
Mr. Coakley cabled attention to tho condi
tion of a gutter at Catherine and Ccutro
streets and the matter was referred to the
Chief Burgess.
Mr. James said tho finance committee
wanted further instructions on tho entrv of
judgment rgamst Tax Collector Scanlan. Tho
reply was that the commlitco should make an
entry on the 1803 duplicate and, if the bor
ough has tho right to do so, also enter judg
ment on tho 1800 duplicate,
Mr. Reese recommended Mrs. Latham, a
widow of the Fifth ward, for exoneration
from taxes. Referred to the finance com
mittee. Tho secretary reported having written to
the Shacfer Estate, asking payment of tho
claim for damages iu tho McGarry case. Tho
alleged defective payment wasou the Estate.
A letter was also read from M. M. Burke, Esq.,
threatening to enter suit If the claim Bhould
not bu sottled by tho 4th inst. Council de
cided not to do anything in the mattor until
It hears from tho Shaefer Estate
Tho law committee was instructed to pay
the recording fees and secure the deed of
lands from W. L. Torbet tu the borough.
Mr. Reose and Superintendent Stout r
ported'tbat the customary winter ininoctlnn

sit. James said that owing to the absence
pf Councilman A. D. Gable tho water com
mittee was In need of a chairman. Presi
dent Straughn said tho matter was one on
which tho committee Itself should act
and select its own chairman. Unon
motion of Mr. McGuiro, Mr. James was
authorized to order auy supplies that may be
noeaou lor mo worns during tho ensuing
month.
Mr. Neiswcnder moved that Messrs. Yeager
and Longacre be grunted a permit to erect an
oil tank at the southern end of Market alley,
Mr. McGuIre raised a point of order, stat
ing tht the ordinances prohlbitod tho storage
of more than two barrels of oil on premises

, A Orand Treat.
Mention has already been made of the
prospect or a fine musleul treat likely to be
given in town. The arrangements havemow
been completed and tho event will occur on
Tuesday, December 28th, Iu Ferguson's
theatre The oratorio to be produced is
"The Holy City," which Is a composition
full of melodious music, and many numbers
are1 considered gems. The choir of the
Church of the Nativity of Bethlehem, which
has so kindly consented to render tbo
oratorio. Is a fine musical organization of
forty malo voices, highly trained under the
direction of Prof. Ernest Daltry, has an
established reputation in the Lehigh valley,
aud its productions of high class music are
always attended by large audiences of lovers
of good music, and it is mor6 than probable
that a largo audience will greet them upon
their first appearance in Shenandoah. The
boy soprauoi nro reported to be the possessors
of very sweet voices and those who attended
the eisteddfod of tho Cambrian Society in
Potteville on March 1st. 1800. when a similar
choir carried off nearly all the prizes, will be
able to appreciate the possibilities in the
choir. Their appearanco here will be under
tho direction of a large aud influential com
mittee of ladies and gentlemen Interested in
musical a flairs, which insures its success.
That good music is appreciated In town was
shown on several occasions of late when large
audiences were attracted to events of a
musical nature, and as tho production of an
entire oratorio is something new wo have no
doubt it will draw tho lovers of good music
in large numbers.

The Venerable Lauv Stricken with
raralysis at Her Onitoti Home.
THE PRESIDENT AT HER BEDSIDE
On Learning of fflt Mother Serteus Illness
the Chief Magistrate of the Nation
Telegraphed: "Tell Mother I
Will Be Ther."
Canton, O., Deo. 8. At an early hour
yesterday morning Mrs. Nancy Allison
McKInley, the venerable mother of
the president, was stricken with Dar-
alyijle, and her death Is believed to be
only a question of a short time. That
the attack would ultimately end in
death was the first fear of the family.
and the consultations of the attending;
Physicians hav tended to confirm this
belief. Every effort Is being made to
render the patient comfortabre and
what will doubtless prove to 'm her last
Illness as free from suffering as pos
sible. The paralysis when it first appeared
was not of a serious form, ond seemed
only to have affected her vocal chords.
She was able to walk from her own
bedchamber to that of her daughter.
Miss Helen McKinley, to give the first
intimation of the attack, and at that
time seemed to be ln possession ot all
her mental and physical faculties, but
soon after a change was noticed, and
ln the afternoon she sank into a condi
tion of semi-unconscious, in which she
has since remained.
Mother McKInley must have been
stricken some time during Wednes
day night, but the first intimation Bhe
had of her Illness was when she awoke
in the morning and found herself un
able to speak. She walked to the room
of her daughter and aroused the lat-
MOTHER M'KINLET.
ter. At once Mlas McKInley saw that
something had happened. She awak
ened the other members of the family,
and a physician was called. He at once
pronounced It paralysis.
Mother McKInley had been slightly 111
for several days with a mild attack of
the grip. She had been up and about
the house, and no serious resultB from
her Illness were apprehended. Her son,
Abner McKinley, of New York, arrived
In Canton on Tuesday, and his mother
seemed to be greatly oheered by his
presence. Wednesday she was so
bright and cheerful as to cause the
family to remark on her Improvement,
Mr. McKInley saying that he had not
seen his mother looking so well for u
number of years. That being her con
dition when she retired Wednesday
evening the blow to the family upon
discovering what had come upon her
during the night waB a sad one. Dur
ing the forenoon a letter from the presi
dent was received. It was read to the
aged sufferer, and In response to ques
tions If she understood Its contents she
nodded her assent.
Mr. Abner McKInley communicated
with the president as soon as he learned
the serious nature of the Illness of his
mother and the president asked that
he be advised immediately ef every
change. Appointments were made for
communication by telephone, and tele
grams were also exchanged frequently.
Sopn after noon Mr. Abner McKInley
notified the president that the sufferer
had lapsed Into semi-consciousness and
promised to communicate further at S
o'olock In the afternoon.
