COUNCIL S TIE BROKEN.
SECRETARY CONTEST SETTLED BY
MR. SHOVLIN WITHDRAWING.
Another Deadlock Sprung Tp on the
l'uhlitihiiiK of the Annual Statement,
Ilut Thift Was Broken by tl e TOSH of a
Coin—Other HtinineHM Transacted.
Standing room was at a premium on
Monday evening at the council room,
the occasion being the regular monthly
meeting of the borough fathers, all of
whom wore present when Chairman
Meeiian called the gathering to order.
The usual quota of bills was read, as
follows: D. A. Furoy, lanterns, SB; rent
of fire plugs, $87.50; Hugh Boyle, janitor
and feeding prisoners, $37.50; It. P.
Keilv, surveying, $44.50; filing borough
officers' bonds, $3: street light, $241.00;
.1. I). Myers, Condy Furcy and Chas.
O'Dontiell, sl2 each for auditing;
William Williamson, supplies, $12.94;
John Mollick, burying cats, dogs and
fowl, sl2. All were ordered paid ex
cept Mr. Williamson's and Mr. Furoy's,
which were laid over.
Street Commissioner Boyle presented
his report for March, amounting to $52.-
38. This, witli a similar bill from ex-
Street Commissioner Moore, for $13.75, i
was ordered paid.
Burgess Gallagher's first report, for
the month of March, was as follows:
Receipts, $60.25; commissions, $29.25;
due the borough, $37. The police ser
vice for the month amounted to $41.50.
The bill for street lighting was the
subject of some discussion, which 11-
sulted in the appointment of a com
mittee to ascertain if a reduction could
not be obtained on the cost of the lamps, j
A communication from the Lehigh !
Traction Company asked on what terms !
the stone crusher could be rented from
the borough for a few weeks. The
street committee was authorized to have
the machine repaired and set the price
for its use by outside parties.
The linancial statement of the bor
ough was then read. It was quite a '
lengthy document, but it proved of great
interest to the councilmen and the j
spectators. The proposition to follow i
the annual custom of publishing it was I
decided upon, but in what papers it
should appear was not so easily agreed to. |
A motion that each councilman vote j
for two of the three local English papers
was carried, and the vote was as follows: j
For Tbirukk and Progress, Messrs. Davis, !
Mulhearn and Median. For Trihixk I
and Prcu, Messrs. Miller, Butter and
Zemany. The Tkibunk was declared
one of the papers after t he first ballot.
Half a dozen more ballots were taken
on the Progress and" Press, with 110
change, and the matter began to assume
the appearance of a tie-up as complete
as that on secretary. Finally, to settle
the matter, Messrs. Butter and Mul
hearn agreed to toss a coin, the loser to
change his vote on the following ballot.
Mr. Butter won, and when the roll was
called again the vote was 4 to 2 in favor
of the Press.
The president then announced that!
balloting for permanent secretary would !
lie resumed. The members were about
to prepare to vote when Hugh Shovlin,
one of the contestants, asked permission
to address them, which was granted,
lie stated that he understood that the
councilmen proposed to elect a secre
tary at this meeting, and that it would
not be either himself or his opponent,
but a dark horse who was about to
enter the race. Not approving of dark
horses, he requested that his name he
withdrawn from the contest in favor of
the other candidate, Thos. A. Buckley.
This was done, and the election of the
latter was, on motion of Messrs. Mul
hearn and Miller, agreed to by acclama- j
tlon. The end of the contest was a sur
prise to nearly all present, and the
council was so relieved that it adjourn
ed shortly after.
The members will meet tomorrow
night at Attorney Can's office to devise
means to raise revenue.
SIOO Reward, SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
trat rnity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it faiiS
10 cure. Bend for list of testimonials.

Condition of Soft Coal Minora.
The legislative committee appointed
to Inquire into the condition of the bit
uminous coal miners, held its opening
session in Pittston on Monday. There
were present Senators Ilenry *D. Savior
and Alfred Miileisen and Represen
tatives Robert McWhinney, P. L. Lytic
and J. C. Dixon. The session was devot
ed to statements from Pittsburg news
paper men who are more or less familiar
with conditions in the coal fields.
C. A. Sweadner told of the destitution
which forced miners' children to pick
scraps from ash barrels. Byon H. Butler
blamed the company store for much of
the minors' wretchedness. The wit
nesses united in condemning the com
pany store.
A. R. Hamilton suggested, as a means
>f improving the condition of the miners,
that there be a state supervision over
•lieckweighmen; that there be 11111 formi
r.y in tho size of screens and that the
company stores be uhulbhed. He refer
red to the general tendency of other
branches of trade to improve; that there
wore indications of a returning tide of
prosperity, but that the "iron clad*' con
tracts, which some operators are forcing
on their men, would prevent the miners
from participating in the good times
which are coming.
S. F. Luty said any ordinary laborer
was much better off than the coal miner.
J. B. Johnson said the miners' compla'n
of poverty had grown chronic, owing to
the development of economic conditions.
Natural ga< and machine mining had r< -
duced the amount of work. The wit
nesses agreed that the miners were
worse off than any other class of labor
in that vicinity.
The committee adjourned to meet
again tomorrow, when the miners will be
heard.
Coercion at Denver Meadow.
Corr. in llazlcton Standard.
Every matrimonially inclined maiden
will be gratified to learn that the single
employes of the C'olerine colliery will be
requested to join tlie ranks of the noble
army of benedicts. This information
comes from good authority, and is com
mon rumor among the multitude of em
ployes engaged ut the colliery. It is
said that the employes holding good
positions will be given to understand
that their services will be better appre
ciated if they enter into a state of con
nubial bless.
Of course there is an object in tliis,
which simply means that the company
3to re would profit by the result. Every
young man who fails to leave a portion
of his .cash at tho store is given a broad
hint for not doing so by the appearance
of a big X 011 his check on pay day.
Some of the poor fellows that it will
effect are shivering in their boots, and
some of them suggest that the store deal
in the material which they are required
to provide themselves with, not having
the courage to "pop the question."
Simply Throwing Money Away.
A great many men throughout the
country, including plenty of really swell
fellows, have got it into their heads
rightly or wrongly—and we are by no
means sure that it Isn't rightly—that
there is no reason why any man should
pay more than $3 to $5 for a pair of
shoes, and to say the least, the idea has
tills foundation in reason, that excellent
shoes are now made for $3. To pay $8
to sl2 for a pair of shoes Is simply
throwing away money, and in many
cases this Is done to gratify a mistaken
notion that none but your favorite shoe
maker is worthy to adorn your feet.
The recent improvements in shoe ma
chinery make it possible, as shown by
the well known W. L. Douglas $3 shoe,
to produce a shoo today that will com
pare favorably in style, wearing finali
ties and comfort with those offered at
$6, $8 and slu per pair. See the adver
tisment of the \V. L. Douglas which
appears elsewhere in this issue.

Delightful Touch of Itural Life.
Stories that recall the old home among
the hills, the silvery brook, the sloping
woodland, the wide-stretching meadows,
the fragrant hay, and the curious doings
