SEWERAGE CAUSES TROUBLE Council Prepares to Take Steps That Will Involve Co-operation, or Trouble For Many Property Owners. Arbitrators Chosen In a Suit Agnlnst the Borough. Last night Health Oflleer Conry served a written notice upon William McGulre, prcsl dent of tho Borough Council, that if tho so wo race nulsanco in tho basement of tli borough building is not abated within 21 hours, or work in that direction is not started, he will enter prosccutiou against tho members of Council for malntaln-ag a public nuisance and failing to discharge their duty in abating It. This action is taken under direction of tho Board of Health and advice of its solicitor. M. M. Burke, &hi. Mr. Conry con tends that ho has given several notices for abatement of the nuisance. Tho Council has been tjousldering measures to comply with the notice, but wants to first get tho property owners interested to sign an agreement to pay their pro rata share, nnd the delay has been duo to the perfecting of this part of the arrangements. The sevico of the notice caused the street committee to hold a consultation to-day with Borough Solicitor Burke, with tho result that an agreement was drawn up and placed In tho hands of Councilman Boobm with tho inten tion of having it signed by the property own ors connected with tho sewer complained of. Each of theso property owners will bo re quired to puy a price for connection. It Is believed that the steps taken and to bo pur sued will result iu staying tbo Health Officer's action. The sewer complained of was constructed by the borough several years ago for the sole nso of tho borough building. From time to time property owners connected with the sewer until now the sewer is Insufficient to tako all that is drained into it, and the present Councilmen find themselves threatened with prosecution for a nulsanco nurtured by tho good nature of their predeces sors. It is said that thirty or more property owners aro connected with the sewer and none paid a cent for the privilege or ask per mission from Council to make the connection. Under the action taken by the Board of Health tho Borough Council is now compelled to mako theso property owners step op to the cashier's desk. A larger sewer will be put iu aud all now having connection with the present line, and who do not put down tbo price for connection, will be left off. It Is expected that the connection fees will cover the expense the borough will be put to in the work. In a discussion of the case to-day an amus ing incident was recalled. A few days ago one ol tne property owners connected with the sower was seeking evidence to bring suit against the borough for damages because the sewer was too small and caused dralnago to flow back into his cellar. Investigation showed that tho connection had been made with the sewer without payment of a fee, or request for permission from the Borough Council. ARBITRATORS APPOINTED. In the case of tho Tamaqua Manufacturing Company against the Borough "of Sbcnan doah, which is brought to recover for Irou street crossing" plates furnished, D. J. Cleary, Hon. T. H. B. Lyon and John Dolphin, Esq., of Mahanoy City, have been chosen as arbi trators, and thoy will sit next Wednesday to bear evidence. Tho Famous are headquarters for the cele brated Rossmore hat, tho best for the money In America. tf The Minstrels. A large audience was In attendance at Ferguson's theatre last night to witness the performance of the Shoppo Bros.' Minstrels. While there were some very pleasing features in it. tho entertainment as a whole was not as successful as others given by the same organization. The withdrawal of the bur lesque at the last moment was a sore disap pointment to toe auaience. This step was taken in deference to protests made by some sensitive Councilmen. The opening scene of the entertainment elicited warm applause, The arrangement was a representation of the deck of the battleship Oregon and it was very effective. The minstrels were attired as sailors and the orchestra was arranged on the top of the turret, from which protruded three rather realistio guns. There were two gun attendants and two boys occupied positious in the fighting pit. The scene was well put on. The Interlocutor, Mr. M. F. Durkln, made a handsome and dignified Admiral. The end men numbored six, Messrs. George B. Lowrey, John D. Jenkins, Tony Carrol), Thomas Cleary, Billy Jenkins and John Keogh. The selections by the orchestra were well rendered and the vocal solos by Harry L. Goldin, Harry Tempest, Billy Jen kins, Edward Cooper and John D. Jenkins were deservedly applaudod. Lowery and Jenkins took the lead in provoking mirth and their sketch "Guess What It Is," which bubbled with local bits, caught the audience, Our Peace Jubilee" was enectlvely ren dered by a quartette composed of Messrs. Cooper, Malick, Phillips and Hall. The singing and dancing by Cleary and Keogh was an artistic piece of work and Harry Tempest s descriptive baritone sojo was im. pressive. McDonald and Gibbon created much amusement with their eccentrio buck and wing dancing. These two boys will be capital comedians some day.

Washington, Oct. 4. Tho culmina tion of Admiral Dewey's triumphal home coming was reached yesterday I In the shadow ot the domo of the na tional Capitol. Here he received from the hands of the president the mag nificent Jeweled sword voted him by congress in commemoration ot the vic tory of Manila bay. This was tho of ficial provocation for the ceremony. Dut mere official sanction could never have thrown Into the demonstration the fervor ot enthusiasm that was meted out to the admiral as he ap peared before the vast audience, com posed not only of all the highest of ficials in the land, but of spectators drawn from every corner of the states. The battle of Manila bay was not for gotten, but It might be said to have been relegated almost to second place in the desire to do honor to the man who had proven himself as great after victory as bofore It, and who had shown In the long and trying months that followed his naval triumph tho qualities of a statesman and a wise administrator as well as those of the fighting leader of a victorious fleet. And enhancing these qualities was that of manly modesty, displayed in the quiet dignity with which he met the occasion. Tlio Admiral's Modesty. This trait of Dewey's character was evidenced 'from the moment he reached the stand side by side with the presi dent, tie paused at this point for a moment, apparently unwilling to take the place that had been prepared for him on the right of the platform, lest he should nppear to usurp the place due to the chief magistrate. President McKlnley grasped the situation in an instunt and taking his great sea cap- tain by the arm placed him by gentle force In tho chair that had been in- tenueu tor mm. utter in tne day. as the carriages bearing the official party drove away from the Capitol between walls of cheering people, ihe president again displayed his tact by remaining covered and ignoring the demonstra- (Inn 1, I 1 ..I ..

The admiral was escorted bv Chair- man Moses, of the local reception com mittee, from the homo of Mrs. McLean to the White House, accompanied by an escort of police and tho Marine band. Captain Lamberton and Lieu tenants Brumby and Caldwell follow ed In another carriage. Admiral Dew ey, who was dressed In his full unl form, received a continuous ovation throughout his ride to the White House, which was continued when, ac companied by the president, he waa escorted by the great parade to the Capitol. It was a magnificent and Inspiring ight as the parade swung Into Penn sylvania avonue. At the head of the line .rode Major General Nelson A Miles, In the full uniform of his rank, witn the yellow field marshal's saah from shoulder to hip.

All that had gone before was but a brilliant preludo to the coming of the man of Manila, rid ing with the president, on his way to tne Capitol to receive the nation's tribute.
