MR. DAVIES AGAIN COMPLAINS
It Results In the Committee Being In
structed to See What Can be Done to
Abate the Nuisance of Wagon
Storage on Streets.
A regulAr meeting of the Borough Council
was held last evening and was a brief one.
The members in attendance were Messrs.
Boclim, Shoemaker, Coakloy, McGuire, Hand,
Murphy, Keese, Gable, Strsughn and Nelt
wender. Mr. Iieese presided owing! to the
absence of tho president when the meeting
was open oil.
Mr. Evan J. Davies again appeared and
complained of wagons being allowed to stand
on North Pour alloy. He Bald it was an
Injury to his business because It shut off the
view between his livery stable and Centre
street. Mr. Davies also said he could get no
satisfaction from tho Chief Burgess and un
less the nuisance Is abated he will suo the
borough for damages.
Mr. Boehm said he did not think Ml.
Davies was being treated right and expressed
the belief that tho Council runs a risk in
being prosecuted in falling to abate the
nuisance.
Tho matter was finally disposed of by a
motion from Mr. McGuiro that the lamp aud
watch committee confer with tho Chief Bur
gess and have the matter remedied.
Mr. Boohm, of tho roads aud highways
committee reported that drainage pipos had
been laid on Bowers and Centre streets; that
tho creek flowing under the East Centre
street bridge bad been cleaned out and
lowered about fifteen inches and the bridge
covered. East Centre street, lietween
Emerick and Union streets, is being fixed up.
Mr. Shoemaker stated that the bridge near
Turkey Bun is in need of repair. Mr. Iieese
called attention to a ditch on Centre street,
between Jardin and West streets.
A recommendation by Mr. Murphy that
Mrs. Anthony Gallagher, of West Centre
street, bo exonerated from 1807 taxes was re
ferred to tho finance committee.
On motion of Mr. Coakley an order was
drawn in favor of the treasurer of the Shen
andoah Fire Association fur tho insurance tax
money received from tho state department.
On motion of Mr. Boohm tho care of firo
plugs was transferred from the wator com
mittee to tho fire apparatus committee
Mr. Hand stated that complaints had been
mado about two flues, and the committee in
charge of that work was giving tho com
plaints attention.
Mr. Coakloy, of tho law committee Btatcd
that ho went to Pottsvillo in pursuance of in
structions from Couucil and found that the
deed and bluo print for tho land purchased
uy the borough from W. L. Torbort had been
duly recorded and transcribed buttho original
papers could not bo found. Ho conferred
with Borough Solicitor Pomeror. who op
pressed tho opiuiou that possibly one of the
attornoys interested had taken tho papers for
temporary use and forgot to leave the cus
tomary tracer behind.
Mr. McGuire moved that If tho original
deed and print cannot bo found the com
mittee instruct tho solicitor to get duplicates
of them, tho purposo of the motion being to
try and locate tho original papers.
A letter from A. W. Schalck, Esq.. asking
for $500 on accouut of tho $1,000 ho claims
for services in the wator and othor cases was
referred to tho law aud water committees for
consideration and recommendation.
As Council was about to adjourn Mr. Gable
arose to a quostion of privllcgo and stated
that ho understood that there was some dis
sension on tho part of public water works
consumers as 'to supposed actions on his part.
Oue report ho had hoard was that the ferti
lizer company had secured connection with
tho old water company because he refused to
allow tho fertilizer company to connect with
tho public water works. Mr. Gable said he
wanted it understood that ho had nothing at
all to do with tho matter.
Several of tho Couucilmeu, in turn, said
Mr. Gable's statement was tbo first they had
heard of the matter, but Mr. Neiswentcr
stated that tho superintendent of the public
wator works refused to mako a yearly con
tract with tho fcrterllzer company and con
nection with tho old company was secured
for f ID per year. - This amount he believed
was too high, but if tho borougli would agree
to the terms tho company will connect with
the plant.
The matter was referred to tho water com
mittee for consideration.

GAGE'S FINANCIAL MEASURE.
Will Moro Tlioronirlily ('iimnilt the
Country to tho (.old Stuiulill-d.
Washington, Dec. 17. Secretnry Gage
appeared yesterday before the commit
tee on banking; nnl currency of the
house of representative) to present a
bill embodying his view for a revision
of the currency, to explain and urge
Us provisions, and to meet any objec
tions raised by the committee. The
measure was subsequently presented
In the house. The secretary said the
objects he had In mind in the provisions
offered were:
First To commit the country more
thoroughly to the cold standard; re
move, so far as possible, doubts and
fears on that point, and thus strengthen
the credit of the United States both at
home and abroad.
Second To strengthen the treasury
in relation to its demand liabilities, in
which are included greenbacks, treas
ury notes, and the Incidental obligation
to maintain on a parity, through inter
changeablllty with gold, so far as may
be necessary, the present large volume
of silver certificates and silver dollars.
Third To do this in auoh a way as
not to contract the volume of circula
tion in the hands of the people.
Fourth To take an Initial step to
wards a system of bank note issues
without the conditional deposit of pub
lic bonds as security therefor. If we
prosper as a people, the revenue of the
government ought to be somewhat In
advance of Its expenditures, and the
public debt of the United States grad
ually reduced and finally extinguished.

Briefs in 1 lie case were to-day submitted
Judge Koch nt Pottsvillo and through
very interesting point is raised. H. B. Oraef,
Esq., of Tamaqua, who represents Holt, the
defendant, contends that the conducting of a
pool room is not a "business" within the
meaning of any of the Act of Assembly pro
tecting the wages of employes, but Is simply
a method of amusement.
Counsel for Daltou insists that the plain
tiff was a olerk In the place, and that as
clerk his wages are protected, no matter
where, or for whom ho works. In support
01 this contention counsel has cited authori
ties showing that the Supreme Court has
held that for tlio purposes as sought in this
case the term "clerk" under the law extends
to salesmen, and as part of Dalton's duties
were to sell cigars to customers of the pool
room there can be no doubt that he comes
within tho protection of the law.
The decision of the court will be awaited
with no little interest.
