glvo mo my tiinn." .To which Joe re
plied, "I'm not the boss. I can't give
you your time." Mike then pointed his
revolver and clicked the trigger. Joe

COUNCIL MEETING.
A New Jumper unit GOO Fret of Ho*o
Ordered for tlie Borough.
The adjourned meeting of the borough
council on Monday evening, Jield to take
action on such matters as were referred
to committees 011 the Ist iust., drew a
full house and standing room was again
at a preinuim. The by-plays and capers
which are beginning to make the council
notorious did uotmaterializo iu as large
quantities as had been anticipated, al
though all the members were present,
except Messrs. Davis and Rudewick.
The question of purchasing more host*
took up considerable time. Charles
Se.ckelman, representing the New York
Fabric Fire Hose' Co., was present. A
motion that the buying of additional
hose be laid over until the committee
appointed to wait on the Water Com
pany reports was lost by a vote of four
to four. A motion to increase the
amount which the lire committee is au
thorized to order, from 500 to 1,000 feet,
was lost by tho same vote.
The fire committee was then ordered
to meet with tiie directors of the Citizens'
Hose Company and ascertain what,
kind of hose is now in use and what is
best adapted to their needs. This was
done after council adjourned, and the
committee has placed an order for 500
feet of Arrow Brand hose and one No. 3
hose cart.
The resignation of Dr. E. W. Butter as
a member of the Board of Health was ac
cepted.
Tho light and water committee re

of live fire plugs now in use and adding
six new plugs, making a total of thirty
plugs in the borough. The report was
adopted, also a report that the are lights
at Johnson and Birkbceks streets and
at Adam and Carbon streets bo changed
without delay.
A requisition for several articles need
ed by the fire department was read and
ordered to be procured soon as possible.
The police and lockup committee
asked for more Lima to examine the July
report of Burgess Gallagher, given thorn
on thu Ist Inst. Considerable discus
sion between tho burgess and some of
the members followed as to the accept
ance of the report. It was finally
agreed to give tho committee further
time, so that Solicitor Stroh can pass
upon certain portions of the report. In
tho meantime the police and others whose
pay is included in tho report cannot
receive orders fur the amounts due
tliem.
Attorney George T. Brown, 011 behalf
of John W. Davis, stated that his client
was willing to give a release for ten feet
of ground on either the front or rear of
his Walnut street property, conditioned
that council pay him. The council
agreed to meet with Mr. Davis and At
torneys Stroll and Brown to discuss the
matter.
Tho park committee reported having
met tho Citizens' Hose, Company direc
tors iu reference to the stands and plat
form on the ground. Tho joint com
mittee agreed to have council dispose of
the same, the proceeds to be paid to the
lire company.
The park committee also recommended
that tho Associated Wheelmen be per
mitted to use tho north side of Main
street as a cycle path, provided that
Solicitor Stroii approve of this action,
after tho necessary papers covering the
rules and ordinances of the borough be
prepared and signed.

ring, picture frame, 70 cents. A bill of
$2.50 from High Constable Mollik for
burying animals in July was referred to
Solicitor Stroll.
A Difference of Opinion.
Iliram I®. Kuntz, clerk of the orphans'
court of this county, has received an
ofilcial letter from tho revenue depart
ment iu which it Is hold that no stamp
is requirod on marriage licenses or certi
ficates, as follows:
"Tho marriage licenses issued by
clerks of the orphans' court are nottax
abio, neither are tho original certificates
of marriage, subject to the stamp tax.
It Is held that the marriage license law
is one requiring tho collection and regis
tration of vital statistics as a basis for
the administration of public health laws,
and that certificates issued under such
laws come within the exomption of sec
tion 17 of the war revenue act."
Clerk of tho Orphans' Court' Klinglnr,
of Lehigh county, who wrote to Revenue
Collector McLain for an opinion regard
ing thu tax on marriage licenses, has
received this decision:
"Reply to your letter, you are advised
that marriage certificates aro required
to bear a ten-cent stamp, as all other
certificates not otherwise provided for
in this act. Your license will not be
required to bo stamped, but tho original
certificate should bo stamped and tho
duplicate should indicate that the origi
nal lias been stamped."
Clerk of tho Orphans® Court Stauffer,
of Northampton county, has roco'ved a
letter from the internal rovonin depart
ment at, Washington, stating that the
department held that marriage license
certificates were not subject to the new :
tax. \
Revenue Taxes Must Ho l'aid.
From tlio Hnzlctnu Sentinel.
Deputy Collector R. 11. Hrundago was
In the city yesterday in the interest of
the government as involved in the
collection of war taxes. He said that
he found here, as he had found else
where, an ignorance with regard to the
payment of these taxes. Many thought
that they were to receive direct instruc
tions concerning their liabilities and in
consequence had paid no attention to
the legal demands. Hut Mr. Hrundago
told all such that it was their misfortune
that they had maintained such an im
pression as it was not the duty of the
government to apply itself to any such
labor. If those who were liable to pay
taxes had omitted to inform themselves
through the proper channels, they would
have to suffer the consequences. There
was no way out. of it.
Mr. Hrundago suggested that the. fol
lowing information might be of value
and interest to certain people. Pawn
brokers are taxed #51); proprietors of
public exhibitions or shows, for money,
•$lO each; proprietors of theatres, in
cities of 25,000 population or more. #100;
of circuses, #100; and the latter takes in
county fairs and horse races. Howling
alleys and billiard or pool rooms, #5 an
alley or table. All druggists and liquor
dealers must stamp up their sparkling,
or other wines, at the rato of one cent
for pints, and two for quarts. All medi
cinal proprietary articles, and all medi
cinal patent articles; all medicinal trade
mark articles, and all medicinal articles
compound by any formula published or
unpublished, must bo stamped; this in
cludes domestic and imported goods.
All these are stamped up at the retail
price of the article.
Democratic Convention Called.
The Democratic county committee
met in Wilkesbarro on Tuesday after
noon, every member, and in addition a
large number of prospective candidates,
being present.
Rush Treseott was elected county
chairman by acclamation, and after a
good deal of discussion it was decided to
hold the county convention on August
•to and the primaries on August 27. The
action of the state convention was in
dorsed. A resolution saying it was the
sense of this committee that no alleged
Democrat who Uns given aid and
assistance to the Republican party for a
price, or for any other unworthy con
sideration, should be allowed to act as a
delegate—or a member of the vigilance
committee at the coming election or at
any future time, was offered and pro
voked much discussion.
State Chairman (barman said he did
not believe in receiving those who have
strayed away from the party with open
arms. There was nothing in the great
book so unjust as the treatment Record
ed the prodigal son. lie has no right to
any portion of the fatted calf. Every
man who strays away from the party at
a national election should be kept on
probation until the next national elec
tion. lie said every Democrat who
turns traitor should be disciplined, but
he did not believe the resolution present
ed was sufficiently comprehensive.
At the conclusion of Mr. Carman's re
marks the resolution was adopted.
Lehigh County Journalism.
Tho town of Emaus, Lehigh county,
is an exhilarating place. So J. ]).
Weaver, proprietor of tho Record, found
it. He published sovoral straight-from
the-shoulder articles about a man named
William Stable, who owned a hotel and
casino. Tho references to Mr. Stable
were not of a pleasing kind, and he
cornered Editor Weaver in the Record
office and used up a vocabulary in
denunciation. Hut tho wife of the
enraged hotel man was more aggressive,
and struck and scratched the editor un
mercifully. All this broke Mr. Weaver's
spirit and appreciation of journalistic
glory, and he forthwith sold his news
paper plant to Clinton A. Mohr, who lias
changed the name of the publication to
the Shir.

Washington, Aug. 11.—Although as

while the answer does not discuss I lie
four liases which the United States
makes an essential preliminary to
