Some tlmo last night an attempt was made
to burn down .the property of Mrs. Mary
Uoran, corner of Jardiu and Cherry streets.
Mrs. Boran occupies a part of the property
and one part of it is vacant. The odor of
smoke caused an Investigation to be made of
the vacant part this morning and thero were
found unuiistakablo evidences of attempted
arson. A stairway was found to bo saturated
with coal oil. Near the stairway was picked
up a partly burned bundle of paper. The
woodwork immediately about the paper was
charred, but fortunately the Are bad burned
out before it ignited the saturated stairway.
The attempt is supposed to have been made

uire, Traccy, Boeluu, Straughn, Nciswenter.
Bell, James, Haud, Harklns. Murphy. Shoe

Messrs. James F. O'llaren, Oscar Betteridge
and John Canfield asked permission to run a
sewer down Plum alley and along the Lehigh
alley Itailroad, west, to the borough sower.
Tho permission was granted upon tho usual
conditions reserving borough rights, etc.
Mess s. i , J. Portz, M. P. Purcell and
Lewis Klein, as a committee, feut In a' com
munication to the Chief Burgcs3, Btating that
tbo owners of the Main street sewer pipe, on
the east side, between Cherry and Lloyd
streets, gave notico to the borough authori
ties not to enter therein until au agreement
is mado between the owaers of tho sower
ud the borough authorities. Acconipanvinz
tho communication was a proposed agreement
providing for the payment of fclOO br tho
borougu lor the privilege.
xho street commlttco reported that the
connection had already been made ; that the
property owners owning the sewer were tak-
ng advantage of the borough on a techni
cality aud charging an exorbitant amount.
otwithstanding they aro getting their prop
erties paved for nothing. On motion, the
communications were laid on the table in
definitely.
John J Carey, of Lost Creek, sent in t
communication, claiming $30 damages sns
turned through an accident on August 5th,
last, on account of their being no danger
signals, or other means to notify people while
nylng along tbe street that danger existed
rom au opening in the public road. The
communication was roferrod to the street
committee aud Borough Solicitor.
The following communication on measure
mcntsmado by Borough Surveyor W. G
Gregory was read aud filed : "On Llovd
street, from building Hue to building Hue. at
the west side of Main street tho width Is 50
feet. Width of pavement, south side of
Lloyd street, is 10 feet; width of pavement,
north side of Lloyd street, is 11 feet. Width
of Lloyd street, from curb to curb, is 29 feet,
At the east side of Pear alley, on Lloyd
street, tho measurements are same as above
n regards to pavement, etc."
It was decided that where the street com
m it tee, occoriling to wirvoys. finds that any
property is encroaching on streets that are to
bo paved, the committee have the curbs of
such properties set back to tbe surveyor's
measurements.
The following petition was read : "We. the
undersigned citizens and taxpayers residing
iu the Fifth ward of Shenandoah, request
your Honorable bony that measures be taken
to properly opeu to trallic that part of Vine
street extending between Centre street and
Raspberry alley, and that the terra cotta pipe
at tho junction of Vine and Centre streets
be replaced by proper guttering, as the said
pipe is daugerous to teamsters, etc. Atteu
tion is also called to the guttering at Centre
and Gilbert streets."
The communication was referred to the
street committee for a report at the next
meeting.
A bill from J. J. Bradigan for 662.50. one
half of contract price for cleaning the First
ward creek, was read and discussed. Council,
on motion oi iur. James, granted an
order for f 110, the amount it appropriated
lor tue work.
It was stated that, since tbo cleaning has
been done, property owners have again bnilt
their outhouses over the creek, a nuisance
that led to the complaint and work of clean
iug. The Health Olllcer should look after
the matter.
The committee on roads and highways
made a lengthy report stating, among other
things, that tho sewer contract on Coal street,
between juam ana Wblte streets, was
awarded to W. J. Britt for $155. All bids for
tbe Strawberry alley sewer contract were re.
jected because they were not satisfactory. It
may bo decided to let tbe Supervisor do the
work. As to the Cherry street and Pear
alley sewers the committee had decided to
have the property owners connected with
them sign an agreement to pay their pro rata
share of the expense of changes, and if the
agreement is not signed tho borough can
cut orT the connections on tho Cherry street
sewer, and the trouble from the Pear alley
sewer can be done away with, so far as the
borough is coucornod, by flllingAip the bor
ougn building cellar, as tbe borough lias no
use for it since the Columbia Brewing Com
pany has been heating the building. Incl
dental to sewer connections, it was stated
that a man who connected with one of the
sewers without permission of Council, charged
his next door neighbor ten dollars to connect
on tho sewer. The committee asked Council
to grant it an additional appropriation
$1,500, and also that Contractor Britt be
given $3,500, as part payment on street pay.
ing contract.
In response to the above, Council decided
that an agreement be drawn up for the Cherry
street and Apple alley property owners
sign, xne increased appropriation recom
mendatlon was laid on the table until the next
regular meeting of Council. The motion by
Mr. Nelswontcr to grant Contractor Britt
$3,500 was declared out of order by Chairman
McGuire, on the ground that no paving had
been done yet.
After some discussion it was decided that if
the Schuylkill Traction Company does net

ing by Monday, September 11th, by noon

Mr. Hand, of the finance committee,
ported, that the borough, bad $1,550 to meet
$2,870 In bills, It was decided to negotiate
temporary loan of $2,000 for 00 days and that
the $1,000 noto falling duo on the 19th inst
be renewed for 60 days, If It cannot be met
when due.
It was decided that a statement of the
amount duo from the Lakeside Railway Com
pany for cir tax be placed iu the SueiitTs
hands.
Mr. Straughn read the following communi
cation, while financial affairs were under
discussion :
Ciiaklim T. Strauuiin, Esq.,
Unaneo Committee,
"Shenandoah, Pa.
"Dear Sin: In reply to your communi
cation concerning the state of finances of the
liorougb or Sbenandoab. which was sent in
answer to my request for such Information, I
beg to say that it eeoms apparent tbat there
is no balance lelt for which the cost of the
permanent Improvement now being made In
paving some streets of your borough can be
met.
The total bonded debt Is now over 1 190.000.
The valuation of the borough for 189U la
$2,123,457 on which, oven with the consent of
the people, only 7 per cent, of this amount
can lie legally made, or 1 100.091.0!).
In addition to the above funded debt you
have a temporary loan existing of some f ).-
500, and probably tho Mrs. Haley judgment
ot fs.uou. lou tberelora aro nearly your
constitutional limit and, even by issuing
bonds, this work would exceed your rights.
"But we have been told that this Is to be
built out of the current funds of the borough.
Your statement shows resources of $(17,730.51
and estimated expenditures of the same
amount, of which only $1,500 is devoted to
street purposes. In this revenue you have
not only estimated tbe amounts duo from
taxeson former years, but also taxes fortius
year. Therefore thero is no money left uu-
appropriated.
it has been suggested that you intend to
pay for these improvements by raising tem
porary loans based on balance duo by Col
lector Scanlan. As this amount is in litiga
tion and cannot be received this year, you are
likely to have these temporary Ioaus out-
iandine at the end of tbe year, and this ex
ceeds your limit of indebtedness, thus mak
ing uouncil liable lor such action.
it has been held in Schuvlkill county
that a temporary loan may be mado to an
ticipate the taxes for tbe current year, but it
is distinctly held that it must be only in such
amount as can be redeemed during the year
out of the incoming taxes.
"We feel that you will be running a great
risk In negotiating such loans, for it is evi
dent that they cannot bo paid this year, as
you have already this year redeemed over
$10,000 of such loans outstanding for last year.
lie lully believe in such permanent im
provements as Having of streets, but thev
should be made only with funds availablo, or
by bonded Indebtedness. In this case it
seems you cannot borrow on bonds and will
uot be able to pay out ot current runds.
"We write this to caution you in involving
tho borough iuto such expense as cannot be
legany met.
Yours very truly,
"Wm. L. Siikafkk.
'For Associated Taxpayers of Shenandoah."
On motiou of Mr. Tracey, it was decided
that the communication be placed in the
hands of Borough Solicitor Burke by tbe Fin
ance Committee, to get his opinion on it for
submission at the next meeting.
Mr. Straughn asked to be relieved from the
Finance Committee, as he cannot give it tho
attention he would like, aud do justice to his
own business. Chairman McGuire requested
Mr. Straughn to continue n tbe committee
pending reflection on the matter.
On motion of Mr. Neiswenter it was de
cided that the East Centre street raving
work be suspended pending tho receipt of the
liorougb Solicitor's opinion on the Taxpayers
letter.
The lamp and watch committee, through
Mr. James, submitted the following leport :
"Your committee, under instructions, in
vestigated the rumors relative to tbe case of
the Commonwealth vs. Pauline and
find as follows: That tho prosecution against
i-auiine was brought by
and the warrants were issued by M. O'Hara,
accompanied by Chief Murphy and Patrol
man Mnllaby. Tbat tbe Justice informed
Chief of Police Murphy that there was not
sufficient evidence to hold the defendants.
That Chief of Police Murphy had five wit
nesses wno wero willing to swear that the
defendant maintained a bawdy house, but, for
some unknown reason, tbe caso was settled
upon the advice of tbe Borough Solicitor, but
the Chief admits that he failed to advise the
solicitor that he bad the five witnesses before
mentioned. That the sum of OTer $40 was
collected from the defendants, in violation of
law, as the Justice had stated tbat he bad
not sufficient evidence to hold the defendants.
That the Investigation shows that only three
of the officers, viz: Chief Murphy, Patrol
men Mullahey and Heaton received witness
fees In said case. That Chief Murphy swore out
a warrant against the parties arrested by M.
uuara, charging mem witn tornlcation, and
the same officers, as mentioned previously.
received witness fees in the case, as shown
by the records. This case was also settled bv
defendants paying the costs, though tho
Justice alleged that he had not sufficient
evidence to bold the defendants. Tbe record
shows that M. O'Hara received something
over $29, In settlement of the case, but this
bill was not itemized and, there
fore, yonr committee is unable to say.
for whom, or for what purpose, this
amount was charged. That the bill of costs,
on its face, is illegal, even if there was sufli
cieut evidence to hold defendants, as the law
requires all bills of costs to be itemized. But.
as the Justice alleges that there was not
sufficient evidence to hold the defendants.
then the collection of the whole bill of costs
from the defendants was clearly illegal, aud
without warrant of law,
D. R. James."
On motion of Mr. Tracey It was decided
that the paid police, If they arrest any person
In a house of IU fame, or any other such
place, must not settle the case without con
sulting the lamp and watch committee, In
conjunction wl(h the borough solicitor.

Stronnr I'oroo of lloor 'l'roopi Con
centrutlnir on tho lturiler.
Speelal to Bvkmikh Herald.
London, Sept. 8. The London Journal
toys that the Oablnet-has decided to convene
Parliament on September 20th, and will ask
for $!,000,000 as war credit. Every indica
tion points to war with the Boers.
Pretoria, Sept. 8. There was great
excitement In the first raad yesterday
on Mr. Coetser's interpellation of the
government regarding the presence ot
British troops on the borders and the
stoppage of ammunition consigned to
tho Transvaal.
President Kniger. the members ot
the cxecutlvo council, and most of the
principal officials were present, to
gether with a large representation of
the general public. Including many la
dles. At the outset the chairman and
president urged members to preserve
calmness and to avoid Insulting lan
guage. The state secretary, P. w. Belts, said
he had called the previous day on the
British diplomatic agent, Mr. Conyng-
ham Greene, and had asked him what
reply the government could give In tho
volksraad regarding tho alleged mass
ing of British troops on the borders,
and whether Mr. Greene Would com
munlcute with the British high com
missioner, Sir Alfred Mllner. The re
ply from Mr. Greene, he continued,
was In the following terms:
"Dear Mr. Belts: The following Is
Sir Alfred Mllner's reply to the tele
gram which I sent him at your re
quest: 'I don't know to what Mr.
Belts refers .when he alludes to the
massing of troops. This must be tho
British troops In South Africa, the po
sition and numbers of which are no
secret, but It Is a matter of common
knowledge that they are here In order
to protect British Interests and to
make provision against eventualities.' "
Mr. Coetser and other members then
made violent speeches, declaring that
they could not understand Sir Alfred
Mllner's reply, since the Transvaal had
never threatened the English colonies.
"It Is time," exclaimed Mr. Coetser,
"for the Transvaal also to prepare for
eventualities."
One member said: "England's act-
tion is like putting a revolver into a
man's face."
Another concluded a warlike har
angue in this strain: "It is time to
send out burghers to the borders to
nsk these troops what they want. The
fire Is bound to start. So let them light
and allow It to burn out quickly.
War Is better that the present state ot
affairs. Business Is ruined and tho
public treasury is drying up. Cham
berlain Is trying to ruin the country."
Mr. Tosen, who declared that Sir
Alfred Mllner's reply was tantamount
to a declaration of war, read a tele
gram from the field cornet of the
Pletretlef district, stating that tho peo
ple there would rise In rebellion If
President Kruger went to another con
ference. Tho chairman called Mr. Tosen to
order for saying that the Jameson raid
ers ought to havo been hanged.
President Kruger, rising, said: "Tbo
aliens have been offered equal rights
with the burghers, but have refused
them. Mr. Chamberlain Is striving to
get the franchise, which tho outlanders
do not want, but what ho really de
sires Is possession of the Transvaal.
The burghers are willing to concede
much for the sake of peace, but will
never sacrifice their Independence."
After eulogizing Mr. Gladstone's no
tion of retrocession In 1881 aa a noble
deed, President Kruger said that If It
now came to fighting the Almighty
would be the arbiter. He urged the
members of the raad to show modera
tion, reminding them that the reply
from Mr. Chamberlain was en route,
and pointing out that ( the proposal
for a commission wore agreed to the
republic would send delegates to fur
ther discuss matters and If possible to
make peace.
The speeches following: the Drosi-
dent's were more moderate In tone and
the raad rose without passing any reso
lution. BOEIt TItOOI'S ON TUB UOrtDEIt.

Cape Town, Sept. 8. The Boers. It
is positively stated, are concentratlne
on the border. A strong forca has ad
vanced within striking distance of the
only pass through the mountains
which separates the Transvaal from
Natal. This force Is composed In Dart
of 1,200 riflemen, the best trained of
the Boer army, who came by train
from Pretoria and eainped Wednesday
evening at Stonderton. 60 miles from
the frontier,
At this pass on Jan. 28. 1881. tho
Boer troops, withstanding the British
invaders, fought the bloody battle ot
Lalngsnek, a decisive victory for their
cause.
The Natal authorities at Newcastle,
which lies In the angle of the Drakens
berg and Is open to attack, have taken
alarm at the prospect of Invasion from
the north, and have urged tbat rein
lorcemeius no aispatcned, and that a
strict watch be kept on Lalngsnek,
It is not thought probable bore that
tho Boer troops will refrain from seiz
ing the pass. Once In occupation they
will be In position to defy the invaders
or to swoop down upon the unprotected
iiritisii towns near the frontier.
