mo sower company to connect inuiv-.0f

The trouble, which has been brew
ing the past two weeks between the
borough council and the Park Street
Sower company came to a crisis on
Saturday when the Park Street Sow
er company attempted to connect
with the property of "C. T. Bentley
for sewer privileges. The borough
council undertook to negotiate with
tho sower company some weeks ago
to take over the Park Street Sewer
company for what they considered a
sufficient compensation. The sewer
company refused to be taken over,
and asserted what they claimed to be
their rights and maintain the sewer
ndependent of any borough author
ity.
Tho sewer company was notified
by the town council that any move
on their part to dig tho streets for
connecting a series of sewers or to
an individual owner would be resist
ed by tho 'borough council and that
legal action would be taken to re
rtraln the sewer company from any
further use of tho streets. Tho com
pany, however, disregarding this no-
tire, undertook to connect tho sewer
i-om the property of Mr. Bentley
when tho matter came to a climax.

United States Geological Survey, but
is also carrying on the study of the
mineral resources of tho State. A
report of the Talc and Serpentines of
Northampton County and the Cement
Resources of the Lehigh Cement Dis
trict in this state has been issued. A
study of these subjects was made for
the Survey by Dr. Frederick B. Peck,
and the results published as Report

Tho report describes the occur
rences of Talc and Serpentine and the
quarries in operation, together with
the methods of preparing the same
for market, and tho uses to which It
Is put.
Tho Lehigh Portland Cement DIs
trict in this state Is described in de

NEWSPAPER SUSPENDS.
The Gate Keeper, a flfty-cents-a-year
paper at Wellsboro, has sus
pended publication. Other Wells
boro papers aro $1.50 a year. If a
fifty cent paper could get three
times as many subscribers ns a ,1.50
paper things would be far from
evened up, because they would have
to use three times as much paper.
When fifty cents falls to cover the
cost of white paper, and paper go
ing up every thirty days, the more
subscribers a fifty cent paper has
tho worse off It is. The Gato Keop-
er was a nice little paper, and said
some very "sassy" things to some
people.

ed in Pennsylvania in 1874, and
there Is now no law governing the

that the next legislature will bo ask
