James, Itoehm, Strauxhn and Hell. The
meeting was not one embracing any speeial
features anil no new subject was presented
for discunion, so that the sow Ion was a brief
one.
. J. Frauey appeared and asked permission
to erect a weigh aoalo ou Lloyd street, about
80 feet west of Malu street. lie said the

not wish anyono to think that it originated
from splto. The permission was granted on
condition that Mr Franey enter into the
same kind of an agreement Mr. Folruer
signed when be secured similar rights. Mr.
Franey agreed to do so. ,
A communication from Mrs. James Doyle,
relative to bogs tearing up her pavement, led
to criticism of tho Board of Health, relative
to its neglect to enforce the order for tho re
moval of hogs, which was to have been done
after the 15th Inst. The communication was
referred to the Hoard of Health.

mittee wait upon the Columbia Urewing
Company and ascertaiu If it will make pay
ment towards the extra work icquircd on the
South I'ear alley sewer In order to enable the
collar of the brewery to bo connected with
the sewer. It was stated tbat, to meet this
requirement, it will be noceewry to dig four
feet deeper than required for any of the
other connections, aud sixty feet, or more, of
rock must be blown through, which would
not bo required if tho brewery connection
was not to be made. The motion was carried
with the addition by Mr. Hell that, if the
company dooe not agree to make payment, a
meeting of Council bo called for to-morrow
night.
On motion of Mr. James it was decided
tint Supervisor Ilrenuau carry out the
previous instructions of Council and pat East
CYutre stieet In passable condition ; tint, if

llrennau's Appeal Refused.
Notwithstanding the passionate appeals
made by his counsel, the Board of Pardons in
executive session at llnrrisourg yesterday re
fused to recommend a pardon for Thomas
Brennan, the convicted murderer of Harry
Elliott, now In our county prison awaiting
execution by virtue of the law's mandate.
IIU attorneys made the plea tbat the act was
not tbat of a rational man, but It was of no
avail. It is nn( considered at all likely that
Governor St , ne will luterfere in this case,
and it looks very much now as If Brennan
will expiate his crime upon the gallows
