Will Not Vote on Bonding.
A lew weeks ago it was stated in The
Star that tbe town council would give
the voters of this municipality an
opportunity at tbe February election to
say by ballot whether the indebtedness
of the borough should be Increased for
paving purposes or not. By referring
to minutes ot last meeting of council,
wblcb will be found in this lssuo, It will
be seen that eouncll bas decided not to
submit tbe bonding question to tbe
voters at February election. The coun
cilmen seem to be of the opinion that a
better way to get tho streets paved is
for tbe property owners to petition
council for what street paving thoy
want and the property owners thus
petitioning to pay two-thirds cost of
paving portion of street petitioned for.

and energy Mr. Longwell is, as all bis
acquaintances know, ono of the foremost
of the county's youug men, That he is
a man of honor and olean record will
also serve bhn to good advuntago in
bis political aspirations."
Another Data for Execution.
It was mentioned In THE STAR last
week that Gov. Peonypackorhad grant
ed a respite for A lello and Pallone, the
two Italians who were to have been
executed at Brookville yesterday, Jan,
12th, but at time Thk Star was put to
press last week Sheriff Curry did not
know tbe date of execution, whlob bat
been fixed for Tuesday, February 23i d,
at 12.00 noon. It Is only a conjecture
with the officials at Brookville as to
what Influence was brought to bear on
the Governor that he granted a respite.
It Is stated by snme that a petition was
presented to tbe Governor asking for
the respite, while others report that
the Italian Consul at Philadelphia to
il nested a respite until after the Board
of Pardons moots. The board will hold
two meetings before the time fixed for
