TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
An Occupied Double llullillng Demolished,
Vet lift I.lvrn Lost,
A terrific explosion occurred at 2:18 o'clock
till afternoon at Brownsville whereby a
doutilo block, owned by Solomon Haak, of
town, and occupied by the families of Kdward
bberraau aim Harry Moyer, was totally de
stroyed. Nothing remains of them but
the rear walls, n part of the
roof and tbo rear kitchens, and their
condition is such that they must bo
razed, It seems like a miracle that not an
occupant of the house was Injured. The
members of both families wero at dinner lu
the kitchens at the rear and the greatest forco
of the explosion was fou th and upward. The
front of tbo buildings faced to the south.
Klht rooms, four on each side of the block.
were blown out of existence and almost all
the household furniture destroyed. I'lcces
of debris imbedded themselves in tho sides
and roofi) of all the buildings wlthlu a radius
of fifty yards and tho window panes of
nearly all these dwellings were wrecked.
J he Brownsville school building stands
about fifty feet west of the block in which
tbo explosion occurred, but, strange, to say,
that asido from tho blowing out of all tho
wiudow panes on tho eastern end, the struc
ture suffered no damage. Tho children In
tbo schools wero almost panic stricken by the
explosion, but tho admtrablo discipline and
tact displayed by the teachers resulted iu all
bnt two of the pupils leaving tho building in
safety. Thomas McAmlrew, 12 years old,
rushed from one of the class rooms and as bo
emerged from tbo school building was struck
by flying plaster from tbo wrecked dwellings.
He was rendered unconscious for a few
minutes, but has entirely recovered. Howard
Westervclt, a boy 8 yoars old, also escaped
from bis teacher, and was struck by flying
debris, but only slightly hurt.
1 he loss to the Lbermau and Moyer fami
lies, by the destruction of their household
effects and wearing apparel, is about 500,
each. They saved comparatively little. The
buildings des'royed wero worth about $1,200.
Tho property was formerly owned by the
late Michael Thompson.
The occupants of tbo houses could give no
clue to the cause, of the explosion. A man
on tho premises, however, gave the tip that
about ten days ago one of tbo boarders in tbo
Eberman house, a miner by occupation,
brought home a large box of dualin and had
it stored lu the second story of the building.
It Is on the Kbcrmau sido of the block that
the ravages of tbo explosion was the most
severe, hbcrman kept a saloon in the base
ment. How the dualin was ignited (If the
report concerning It is true) is a mystery.
Both tho hbermau and Moyer families aro
houioless, as barely enough of cither side of
tbo block remains standing to give even one
of the families shelter from rain. All the
bcusehold effects that both families have
picked out of the wreckage would hardly
fill a small wagon. The sceno about the
property Is ono of absolute desolation.
Immediately after the explosion some
young men run up from Brownsville to town
and sounded a II ro alarm. Tho Phoenix Fire
Company went to the scene, hut its services
were not required, as no fire followed tbo
explosion. The Phoenix carriage was upset
on Coal street and the pole was badly twisted.
BIG ELECTRIC INTERESTS.
Street Car Companies Bliii Lighting
Ceil-
cera in the Legislature.
Ifarrisburg, Jan. 0. One of tbo biggest
fights in the Legislature at tbe session just
opened will be between the electric light and
strcot car companies of the eutliestate, The
streetcar companies are anxious to have a
bill passed that will give them tbe privilege
of selling their surplus olectricity 16 munici
palities or anybody who desires to purchase
it.
In fact, it is proposed that tho street rail
road companies shall become heat, light and
power concerns as well as traction organiza
tions. By acqujring this increased power
the traction companies, of course, become the
actjve competitors at once of all tbo lighting,
heating and power corporations in the re:
spectlf e cities and towns.
The passage of such a bill will greatly
ripple the heating and lighting companies of
the smaller towns, because tbo railway com
panies could furnish light at a nominal sum,
Tho bill la In cbargo of Chris, Magte, who
has vast streot railway Interests, and lie has
enlisted In bis causo tbe powerful traction
Interests. He tried to Induce Senator Martin
to go into tbo scheme, but tbe latter refused
because the Interests of his friends are in tbe
power and lighting companies. It is said,
however, that Quay has consented to assist
Magee in his scheme, provided tho latter
would support Quay for the Senate, which
be did.
There will be millions of dollars involved
in the battle, and it is expected to be (he
bitterest ever seen bore.

ulating Balls and Dances To
Investigate Charges of
Discrimination.
Tho first meeting of the Borough Council
for tho now year was liaW last night with tho
fallowing members in kttendanco : Messrs.
McUuIro, Coakley, James, Bell, Uarkins,
Lally, Hand, Murphy, Brennan, Straughn,
Nciswender.
Mr. Heavy appeared before Council and
complained that his horse and wagon wero
Injured by tho caving in of a part of a street.
He was told that the street committee- al
ready had the matter under consideration.
Mr, Hand, of tho finance committee, re
ported that the tax duplicate- was written and
that tho committeo was prepared to turn it
over to Tax Iteceiver Burke.
Mr. Straughn stated a list of the collections
made by the P. fc It. C.& I. Co. at its col
lieries under the Alien tax law, and turned
over to Collector Burke, had been received.
Tho collections amount to $4,871.83. He
said it would take considerable time to com
pare the list with Mr. Burke's exoneration
lists, and under the circumstances the ox-
oueratiou lists of the collector could not be
gone over at present. Ho also thought Col
lector Burke should post his duplicate, show
lug tho net balance on it. It was decided
that tbo members of each ward go ovor the
list of payments and that Tax Collector
Burke bo asked to balance his duplicate as
suggested.
Mrs. Cudden applied for exoneration from
taxes. ',
The finance committee was instructed to
get a written opinion ffnra Borough Solicitor
Burke on tho question of exonerating real
estate from taxes.
Borough Solicitor Bnrke submitted the
following report :
I desire to report that the bill for toWmnn
arising out of the Bialccki shooting atl'air I
submitted to the County Commissioners!
they advise me that they are in doubt as to
the county's liability for the bill, and they
have referred it to their solicitor. Ho has
not yet advised them.
I have consulted with tho Commissioners
clerk and Commissioner Staulfer in regard to
tho assessment of the borough's plant In Eat
Union township ; as yet the clerk has been
unable to locate the assessment, but Com
missioner Staufler says tbe Commissioners
will glvo Council a heaiing ou the assessment
at any tlmo of which tboy may have a few
days' notice.
Suits wero commenced and concluded
against the Schuylkill Traction and Lakesido
Railway conioaniesfur car tax: tho latter
case was settled by tho company paying the
claim aud costs: in tho former case a Judg
ment has been taken for $40 as the amount of
tax cluo up to June, lblis. buttbts is disputed,
and I have been unable to conclude the
matter owing to the illness of Mr. Ash.
As you may by this linow, fbo rules taken
by Mrs. Mary Mellet to have her name
stricken from tho bonds of Collector Scaulan,
have been discharged by the court. Whether
sue will proceed further in the matter I am
unaoie to say. no hearing nas yot beeu bad
in other proceedings pending on tho bonds.
Suit has been coramenned by Durness Tabor
aEamst sir. Samuel feluzer, ot .North Main
street, for obstructing tliu pavement In front
of bis store ; tho bearing lakes place this
evening.
Your committee submitted to mo an ordin
ance fur tbe regulation of dances, Ac, within
tlio lionuKh : the ordinance is nroocrlv and
legally drawn and properly comes witbin the
power and authority or Council.
Members of Council have snoken with
me in reference to a change in tho ordinance
regulating tno railway car tax in town, so as
to enable Council to increase the tax, I pre
fer nof to nu"cr an opinion rn this matter till
it cornea officially before me and after careful
consideration,
Mrs, Susan O'Brien has commenced au
action of trespass against the borough to re
cover damages far an injury sustained to her
oy lulling on a west ioai street pavement. 1
nave pieauea ana tne case is now ready for
trial.
The dispute as to the amount of ear taxes
due from the Schuylkill Traction Company
was referred to the law committeo for Investi
gation. An order was drawn lu favor of F. W. Mc-
Derinott fur the telegraph bill lu the Bialebki
murder case, and the Borough Solicitor was
instiucted to proceed to pollcpt theimquut
from the county.
Mr. Bell said that John Roberts, the under
taker, wanted to have the $10. fine bo paid in
the Hoehler case returned to him, n the
ground that the fine was unjust that he had
to make the burial In the case without
burial permit becauso tho Health Officer was
iu Philadelphia at tbe time. Council declined
to Interfero, as the matter was entirely in the
bands of the Hoard of Health.
The fire apparatus committee reported re-
pairs made to fire plugs and said all fire plugs
aro In good condition.
The ordinance committee submitted a draft
of an ordinance providing that no public
dance shall be held iu the borough until
license for it is first issued by the Chief Bur
gess, or in his absence, by tbo President of
Council. Licenses will be issued for every
night, except Sunday, upon application of at
least two persons, provided that uo license
fee will be required of fire companies for
their annual balls, or picnics. For each and
every dancing school or class a fee of $1 will
be charged, up to midnight; and for every
bal 3, All other amusements, exhibitions,
shooting galleries, eto not already provided
for. $1 for each day up to 12 o clock, mid
night. For violation of the ordinance a fine
of not less than $3 nor more than $50 is pro
vided for, and In default of payment iuv
prlsonmeut in the lockup not exceeding 48
hours.
Mr. L. J. Wilkiusou protested that tbe
ordinance was vicious In a way. Especially
as it was directed against select parties aud
private dances, Answer was mado that in
adopting an ordinance of that character there
could be no discrimination and it was neces
sary to provide for a nominal license fee.
The officers of Council were directed to put
the ordinance in legal status.
In refereme to the O'Brleu suit fordamages
referred to In the Borough Solicitor's letter,
it was decided that the Borough Solicitor
uotlfy the owner of tbe property where the
accident occurred or tbo condition of afluirs
and give tbe party an opportunity to be rep
resented fn the case.
Upon President McUulro's statement that
considerable complaiut had been made
business men of tbe town that the Schuylkill
Tiact(on Company had discriminated against
the borough by the recent change in IU fares,
tbe Law committee was Instructed to investi
gate the matter aud report at tho next meet
ing, In tho meantime tbo committee to see
tho officials of the company and endeavor to
ave the matter fixed tin. so that there will
e no discrimination against this borough.
The Construction committee was instructed
to have the time In tho contract for tho com
pletion of the borough building painting
fixed at May 1st, 1809. It was also decided
that the railing on the bell tower be either
repaired or removed, as it Is In a damierous
condition.
A discussion a row as to the terms uien
hieh James J. Coakley and Johu Stanton
wete employed to uiako a Mnmment for
tbo public water works. Mr. Bell said tbe
pay would be governed by that paid previ
ously, which was $ per day, and he moved
that ratobe paid.
Mr. Straughn thought the assistant super
intendent of tbo works ought to lie one of
the assessors, as bo could at tbe samo time
acquaint himself with all tho eonuctlnns
and note all defects or leakages; that the
time was Inoportune, as It should be made
ou tho ove of tho time for tho now duplicate.
air. .Noiswlnter was of the samo opinion.
Chairman McUuire strongly opposed the
movement at the rate of wages fixed, and
said tbe committee should have made tho
assoBsmont at the proper time six months
ago. Mr. Lally defended the committeo. as
did also Messrs. Bell aud Coakley.
A motion by Mr. Jainea that tho limit for
tho work bo fixed at fifteen days at $1 50 per
nay tor each man, and that the assistant
water superintendent he one of tho assessors
as defeated, but Immediately efter Sir.
Uarkins moved that the assessing go ahead.
provided tbe work would not cousumo more
than fifteen days at $2 per day, or a total ex
penditure of $30. This was readily Bgrced to
by those who favored tho previous motion
and it prevailed.
Charles Dietz, of North Main street, sent
11 a communication complaining that a show
case exhibited by his uoxt door neighbor.
rank Schmidt, obstructed his view and tho
view of the public, thereby darnaziuu his
business. He threatened that if Council
failed to act In tho matter, be would enter an
action against tho borough for daniagos to
tne amount or $30 per day.
Mr. straughn could not understand whv
people persisted In bringing such complaints
betoro Council when the Chief Burgess has
full power under tho ordinance, and evcu
greator power tkan Council can give him.
he communication was referred to the Chief
Burgess.

lteijuett the Ashland Council to lteactnd
Car Tax Ordinance.
Som'etimo sluie the Town Council, as a re
taliation against the Schuylkill Traction
Company in Increasing Its rate of car faro.
passed an ordinance placing a tax on each
poll, a license on the cars and regulating the
operation or tue company's snow sweeper in
that town. This had the efiect of restoring
the old rata of faro between Asbland aud
Giranlvillo.
At the meeting of tbe Council on Wednes
day evening a uumber of business men ap
peared and presonted a petition In which
they requested that Council rescind the ordin
ance "relating to the tax on the Schuylkil
Traction Company's poles, license for cars,
and restriction or tho sweeper, If the Schuyl
Kill .traction Company agrees to pay a yearly
tax of one hundred dollars aud a guarantee
of tbe utmost care for life and property
while using the sweeper in our borough
IfmlU."
The petition further seta forth that the
company will issue a workingmau's ticket at
the rate of five cents each way to and from
their work for one continous passage, pro
vided council will rescind the former ordin
ancos.
The petition caused much discussion, and
the request that a committee he appointed to
confer wih (bo Traction Company was not
considered for the reason the latter made uo
such request. A committee, however, was
appointed to meet with the business men.

Chicago, Jan. 6. Six highwaymen
who were endeavoring to make thlr

the arm and hip, but will recover.
When Wallner and McCauley were
called to the scene of the robbery they
started in pursuit of the men. The
officers drew their revolvers, but hesi
tated about firing because of the peo
ple on the street. When the six rob
bers reaohed an alley they ran be
hind a fenre and opened fire on the
otllcers. Both policemen ran Into the
street and returned the shots. Wallner
was wounded at the beginning of the
encounter, and McCauley was left alone
to battle with the men. After firing;
more than a dozen-shots at the officers
the six men turned and ran up the
alley. McCauley followed them and re
ceived n second wound. He was then
forced to give up the chase, and the
robbers escaped.
Boornvnn and his clerk, Charles Carl

Mr. l'elilfrr cmuinltteil l'or Violating a
llorougli Ordinance.
A couple of weeks ago complaint was made
before tho Borough Council that Samuel
Feldier, proprietor of tbe Bon Ton millinery
store on North Main street, was obstructing
the pavement with a show case. The matter
was referred to tho Chief Burgess, with
instructions tbat tbo ordinance be enforced.
Accordingly Mr. Feldzer was Instructed to
remove tbe obstruction, and he did so. but
subsequently he again displayed tbo show
case and tbo Chief Burgess removed it. The
case has been in storage in the Water Super
intendent s omce, pending the payment of
expenses by tho owner.
Chief Burgess Tabor then swore out a
warrant for Mr. Feidzer'g arrest charging
persistent violation of tbe ordinances iu ob
structing tbe pavement. Tho case came up
before Justice Toomey last night. The Justice
says be gave Mr. Feldzer tbe opportunity of
entering bail for a hearing at some future
time, the statement being made that the ac
cused's wife was very ill. Mr. Feldzer, how
ever, insisted upon a hearing and he was con
victed, Mr. and Mrs. C. Holderman and the
Chief Burgess appearing as witnesses, and
Borough Solicitor Burke as attorney, for tbe
prosecution.
Justice Toomoy then imposed tbe flno and
costs aud Mr. Feldzer offered to enter bail
until bo conld consult with his lawyer, who
was not present. The Justice ruled that no
bail could ho taken after convlctiou. as the
case was ono of summary punishment. It
was a questiou of either payiug the fine- aud
costs, or going to tho lockup. The Justice
says he gave Mr. Feldzer a full hour to make
up bis mind as to whether he would pay the
fine, but tbe latter bad somo reckless advisers
with him aud they made objectionable ie-
marks, among others that Feldzer was being
persecuted because he was a Jew. Finally.
says the Justice, one of the advisers said
reldzer could not be locked up. whereupon
tne Justice instructed Coustablo Giblon to
carry out the sentence.
After Feldzer was locked up a delegation
comprising David I.evine, Levi Kefowlch,
Sam Block and Abe I.evine hurried to the
llorougli Council meeting, where the Impris
onment was duiiouuced us au uutnige. David
Irvine and Levi Refuwich were the chief
spokesmen. They donuuded the prlsouor's
release under nail. Kelowicb made remarks
about, persecution that led to a hot exchange
of words between him and Councilman
Ilarklns, '
Council decicfed to send for tbe Chief Bur
gess. Chief of Police Murphy returned with
a reply iu which the Chief Burgess stated
that the case was his. and not the Council's.
This position being assumed, Council was
powerless to act In tbe matter and the visit
ing delegation finally concluded that there
was nothing to be done but pay the fine and
costs. Accordingly David Levliio went back
to the Justice's office and gave a check for
13.00, fine and costs, under protest and
asked for a transcrip of the case, which the
Justice promised to give him. Feldzer was
then released;
