Tho meeting was held in tho High school building, at Lost Creek, and was of short duration, only thirty minutes being occupied In transacting business. Tho short duration of the session was a surprise to all interested and It was rumored that a slato hnd been made bo foro the meeting was called. A residont of Lost Creek, who is looked upon as authorita tive, stated to t Her.u.d representative to day that there was uo slato made, but that it was a mutual agreement the threo Demo cratic and tho threo Citlzons membors of the Board. Tho Citlzons faction succeeded in landing ine of their fifteen applicants.

Another Report on the Water Works Presented, and Unanimously Adopted. The Borough Council met Inrcgularscssion last night, with tho following members in attendanco, Messrs. McGuire, Hand, Coakley, Neiswcntcr, Tracky, Ilarkius, Shoemaker, Iiochm, Straugbn, James. John McDonald, of West Strawberry alley. complained of a nuisance created on his premises by a public sewer running througl: his premiees. The street rommitteo was In structed to turn tho course of tho sewer down the alley, and that it advertiso for bids r the work. Mr. Coakley reported that Managor Ash, of tho Schuylkill Traction Company, had made a verbal proposition to pavo tho inter section of Main and Centre streets, provided tho borough would glvo tho company the prlvilcgo or putting a turn out there, to con nect the Schuylkill Traction and Lakesido Railway's; and also to givo the borough tho stone with which the Schuylkill Traction track on Main street is paved if the borough will pavo tho track with brick; if the bor ough will not do this, tho company will allow the stono paving to remain. Mr. James stated tho opinion that Council should provide an Inspector to Inspect tho brick to bo used for the street paving and Mr, Straughn said the street coniinitteo should see that tho paving contractor docs not dump the refuse taken from Main street on to other streets. This brought out a declaration from Mr. Traccy that tho committee should be in' creased, as It has too much work at present, whereupon it was decided to increase, tho committee from threo to fivo, and Prosident McGuiro added Messrs. Hand aud James to tho committee. George Folmer was granted permission to place his weigh scale in front of his property on Lloyd street, npon tho condition that ho sign an agreement to be responsible for any damago that may ariso from tho placing of tho scalo and that he will remove it should tho borough desiro to pavo that street at any time. The brick inspectorship was taken up and the street committeo was instructed to secure bids from persons competent to act as inspec tor and that a special meeting of Council be called to act upon them. Mr. Hand, of the finance committee, said Mr. Tracey had called upon Tax Collector Scanlan to get the county duplicate for 1S90, but he refused to givo it. Mr. Hand said ho did not know whether the temporary loan for $2,000 authorized at tho last meeting had been negotiated. President McGuiro said he knew nothing about tho matter. In tho dis cussion that followed it transpired that the loan was negotiated on a note signed by tho treasurer aud secretary, and also by Mr. Bell, who acted as temporary president of Council at tho last meeting. In answer to a question, Solicitor liurke stated that such papers should bo exocuted by the permanent pros! dent and, on moliou of Mr. Neiswenter, was decided that hereaftor the president and secretary negotiato such loans. It was decided, on motion of Mr. James that Council rofuse to act on the 1800 tax ex. ouerations of Mr. Scanlan until he furnishes Council with a posted duplicate, and that th fiuanco committeo so notify him in writing On motion of Mr. Coakley tho annual license fur tho theatrical year of 1800-1000 for Ferguson's theatre was fixed at $100, tho satno amount as is charged by the Borough Council of Pottsvillo. Mr. Boehm stated that the ordinanco passed by Council somo mouths ago, fixing a license fee of two dollars for each public ball held In the town, is working an injustice, in that most of tho balls and parties held in Bobbins opera house aro for charitable purposes and tho ordinance makes no exception. Tho matter was referred to the ordinance com. mltteo. The law committee and Borough Solicitor Burke made a report on tho result of tte trip mado to Brandonvllle last Wednesday, as to the claim for damages against the borough mado by a mill owner named ilosor. it was stated that photographs wero takon of the mill and streams. The contention of the borough is that the dimnnition of wator the stream is not duo to appropriation of the supply by the borough for its water works, but to coal dirt lodged In the stream, and therefore Mr. Moser cannot claim damages from tho borough. Solicitor Burke also stated that ho found upon Investigation, that the Shenandoah Ice Company could not claim damages for the injury done to one of its wagons by the collision with thp book and ladder truck, because the collision was the result of an ac cident. The secretary read tho following communl cation ; Qkntlkme.v : Haling been annoyed In the past by the boisterous conduct of people In attendance at certain weddings In town wo, the undersigned, respectfully request your honorable body to suppress such conduct by ordinance, or otherwise." The communication was signed by sixteen Polish aud Lithuanian citizens. One of tho signers was Policeman Georgo Uraitis. The communication was filed after several mem bers commented upon the policeman s name appealing asking for protection. Councilman James stirred up a hornet nest on the polico question by requesting tho Chief of Police to state whether or not there was any truth in the report that the paid polico got some of the $10 that was paid as costs to the Justice of the Peaco iu tho 'Red Onion" case. Ho said If such was tho caso was wrong for tho police to take the money, The claim is made, lie said, that there was not sufficient evidence to hold the peopl raided and, if such was tho caso, why wero they fined? President McGuiro said he understood from tho nowspapers that the polico "pullod" the people at the "Red Onion" and had them ap pear before a Justlco, and the police had such a caso that the people agreed to leave borough In ten days, hut they wore pot out yesterday (Weduesday) aud the police should explain why they aro not out 1 If tho police cannot satisfactorily oxplalu, Council should take hold of the nutter, and of the police force Chief Murphy replied hotly that tho "Red Union was not raided, nut arrests were mado at the place under warrants Issued on information received from parties that were In tbero. The Chief acquainted the Borough Solicitor about it, and had an unlerstandi what to do, and tho parties agreed to settle and get out of tho town. They couldn't get house and the Chief called on them a ooupto of times, reminding them of tho agreement. To-day (Thursday) tho proprietress of tho Red Onion" said sho was going out. The man who is talking about the costs kuows o thine about it. President McGuiro said: Then the officers had a good case, and they are not doing their uty to this borough, and Counoll should not submit to it any longer. If an agreement was entered Into that theso people should leave within ten days, it should bavo been enforced." Chief Murphy replied that ho didn't glvo them any specified time. The girls left tho town that day, or the day after, and tho pro prietress went looking for a house. President McGuire then said, "I railed the attention of an officer somo timo ago to a ciso and I heard of a man connected with tho placo getting the information from tho officer, in. I will tako a stand Bgainst tho officers ho don't do their duty." Councilman Traccy snid, If tho placo was not raided, it had a right to be, aud moro places ought to bo raided." Councilman James: "What I want to now is, did any of tho polico get any of the money on that arrest. I am going to find it out. It is your duty (addressing Chief Murphy) to furnish tho information." Chief Murphy : "Tho paid polico got uo money." Borough Solicitor Burke said that, in view of tho discussion having arisen over tho flair, ho desired to mako a statement. He said: "I was not at tho Justico's ulllco when pcoplo wero brought tbero. I knew othiug of the circumstances, but I told the Ulcers, in view of the resolutionsof Council. that, if they became Involved in such raws, stood ready to help them. Two Ulcers, in pursuance of the resolution nd tho statement I made, came to my house at four o'clock Sunday morning and I told them to lock up tho parties. Later in the day tho two officers came to my homo again id told me of tho caso. I saw tho evidence was flimsy and told them that if they could not secure better evidence, they would not bo ablo to couvict nuybody. They called again Sunday ovening and repeated what evidenco they bad, and I told them that if they could not secure more, they would not be ablo to convict tho peoplo iu court, and they would come back and be the laughing Btock f the town. The officers said the people wero ready to leavo tho town if the police in sisted, and I said they should insist. In ordor that these people might not be in a position to deny that they agreed to leavo tho town, drow nn agreement that they leavo without delay (It was not typewritten by tho way) and the officers took tho paper with them, and said tbey would compel tho parties to Igu it. that paper is in my safe," President McGnlro said that, on East Centre street, it is almost impossible for a decent woman to sit on her porch without being Insulted and, if the present police force cannot stop it, there should bo a new police lorco. Council should Insist on the police doing their duty. It was decided that tho lamp and watch committeo meet the polico next Monday evening to sco whether any of tho polico re ceived any of tho money paid as costs iu tho lied Onion" caso, and to also investigate tho chargo mado against Policeman Uraitis two months ago. jir. iracoy, oi tuo water committee, re ported that meters will cost from $8 tu $12, no uiattor how many aro purchased, and that the water in tho Brandonvllle reservoir is but two feet abovo tho bars.

Let us tako tbo past two years (the most favorable) as an Illustration. Tho operation of tho water plant (exclusive of the amount paid for land. $11,390, which might properly bo included) amounted to $30,412 62 ; interest on bonds, 2 years. $11,220; proportion of bonds that should bo redeemed, $11,150 making a total of $55,782.62.

That roport also stated that "the water rate was reduced one-half, 25 conts a month, and likewise tho rate for all other tbiugs for which water rent Is charged, saving the bor ough nearly $18,000 annually." That is a grievous error, and misleads the people, The rent for beer pumps, harbor shops, urinals, water ciosots, saloons, stores and the lilt were not reduced, but remain tbo same as they were beforo the borough plant was erected.

Rennee, Aug. 18. The case for tho dofense In the Dreyfus trial by court martial began yesterday. General Roget, M. Hertulus, the Investigating magistrate), tho widow of the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry and Colonel Plcquart wero on the stand. Mr. Hortulus, who was oxamlnlng Magistrate In tho early stages ot the Dreyfus revision proceedings, and who has long declared IiIb absoluto con viction of the Innocence ot Dreyfus, I was the llrBt witness put forward by Maltro Domango In behalf of tho ac cused. Ho declared that Colonel Du nty Do Clam and Mile. Pays were tho authors of tho "Dlancho" and "Sper unza" telegrams sent to Plcquart. SI. Hertulus Uien related the noLiblo Intorvlew betweon himself and Lleu tonant Colonol Henry July 18, 1898, Bhortly before Honry committed sui cide. This, naturally, was a painful recital for Mme. Henry, tho widow. who was much dlstrossod and wept silently as the dramatic scene, when Hortulus and Henry proceeded to seal up tho seized papers, was depleted. After recapitulating his othor evi dence before tho court of cassation M. Hortulus energetically affirmed his bo llof In the lnnoccnco of Dreyfus. He declnred tho bordorcnu was In three pieces and not In llttlo bits. Ho also said It did not roach tho war ofllce by tho ordinary channels. M. Hortulus also said his boll of In tho lunocence of Dreyfus was also based on documents In the secret dossier which he hod seen and the absence of motive which could havo tempted Dreyfus to have committed such a crime. "Without motive," emphatic ally declared tho experienced magis trate, "there was no crimo. You have been told that Dreyfus Is guilty. For myself I believe, and beilovo pro foundly, In his lnnoccnco. If I came here to tell you so, you will understand that It Is because my conscience tells mo that In so doing I am performing duty, an absoluto duty. The court of cassation has declared the border eau to be the work of Esterhozy. Now, tho court of cassation Is tho supremo authority In all matters of Justlco In France." Tho evidenco of M. Hertulus, was, on tho whole, favorablo to Dreyfus in tho Judgment of civilian listeners. Unfor tunately his reputation is blown upon. He belonged, when at Nlco, to tho South Railway gang, and, as the magi a trnte sent to Investigate their swindle. played Into their hands. M. Bertulus Is an epicurean and has shocked Rennea people by his rather gay relations with a former actress, who somehow rolls In riches. Mme. Henry, nfter M. Bertulus had doposed, asked leave to speak. She stood up In a stagey manner, raised hor left hand and said: "Jo domande la parole" (I ask to be heard). She wanjpd to contradict what Bertulus had sold regarding the friendship of her husband and Esterhazy. "On July 18, the day my husband called on M. Bertulus," she said, "the colonel, in the course of n conversation that even ing, told me ho had a friendly and charming reception. Ho described how tho magistrate advanced to meet him nnd hold out hl3 arms. I said to my husband: 'Are yon sure of this man? Aro you sure ho Is sincere? I am very much afraid that his kiss was the kiss of a Judas.' I was not wrong. This man is Indeed tho Judas I Imagined." Referring to the papers which ar- rlvod at tho same time aa tho bor dorenu, Mmo. Honry said: "Those papers wore not all torn In a thousand pieces. I was able to noto that personally. Letters often came en tiro. M. Bertulus has maintained that everything arrived In pieces. That Is false. I have nothing more to say." M. Bertulus said he did not desire to reply to Mme. Henry, adding: "Sho ta only a woman." I am not a woman," exclaimed Mme. Henry, furiously) "1 speak In the name of my hubband." Tho incident caused great oxc! fo ment In court. Colonel Plcquart was then called to tho witness stand. He protosted most firmly against all suspicion of having caused the disappearance of any docu- mont relating to Dreyfus. Ho described tho consternation In tho war office when the treason was discovered, and me renet experienced wnen It was thought the guilty porson had been discovered. It waa then the witness discovered the similarity between tho handwriting of Dreyfus and that of tho bordereau, and be had recourse to Du I'aty de Clam, "who waa supposed to nave grapnoiogicnl knowledge." "ueyona tho bordereau." added the witness, "there was nothing against yreyrus absolutely nothing." Tne colonel next declared that In 1894 he did not know the contents of the secret dossier, but he believed, like all other officers, that It contained (rightful proofs against the Drlsoner. When ho became acquainted with Its contents, however, he found that his "earlier impressions wore entirely wrong." Continuing Colonel PIcouart defended himself against the charge that he had always directed his efforts towards the rehabilitation ot Dreyfus. He said ho had only directed the In vestigations mado to tho end when he became aware that the writings of KBiernazy ana tne bordereau were Identical, and that, consequently, tha cnarges against uroyius no longer ox felted. uoionet 1'icquart then declared ho nan never seen ureytus copy tho small est document in tho war office.
