The Borough Council held a special meeting last night to consider Important matters bearing upon the improvement of the public water works supply. The Councilmen in attendance wore Messrs.

McGuiro, Coakloy, Lally, Shoemakor, Neiswenter, Straughn, Qable, Reese, Hand, Brennan and James. After the meeting opened It was decided to go into executive session and while that session was in progress It was decided to lot the public know' what was being done. Mr. Gable staled that In accordance with the decision at tho last executive session tho water committee had given its attention to tho purchaso of additional streams in the Catawissa valloy for the improTcmont of the public water works in point of the quantity of supply. Ho presented skotches made by Mr.

Stauffer, a surveyor, showing distances aud elevations of tho stream Inspected and the proposed pipo lino and stated that John Arnold, tho owner of Hulshafer's Bun, had asked $15,000 for it, tie price to include as much adjacent land as the borough might require. A diagram of tho proposed storage rojorvoir was also presented. Tnoro was considerable discussion over the plans and Mr. Arnold's offer. Mr.

Gable said ho was confident the borough could not build a storago reservoir with a capacity of 30,000,000 gallons for less than 30,000. Mr. McGulre said the matter should be weighed carefully and overy precaution taken to soo whether it would bo cheaper to buy the stream and lay an 8 or 10 inch pipo line down to the pumping station reservoir, or build a storago reservoir In connection with the streams now owned by the borough. It was his opinion that, notwithstanding the drought, there has been a now of no less than 100,000 gallons daily at tho pumping station and this, in connection with a storage resorvoir of from thirty to sixty millieu gallons would tide tho borough a year. Mr.

Hand said the borough would have to getwator.no matter what the cost, and a bid should bo made to Mr. Arnold to make a start in some direction, Mr. James suggested that Council get an idea of tho Iloneybrook mine operations before closing any bargain for tho stream. Mr. Lally moved that the water committee be instructed to offer Mr.

Arnold, or his representatives, 3,000 for the stream and that tho committee first ascertain through official engineers whether the Iloneybrook, or any other mines, are; liablo at any time to destroy the stream Mr. Arnold controls. The motion was carried. Mr. dalle reported that the pipo for the direct connection of tho borough with the pipo line over tho mountain had arrived and the work of hauling it to the scene of operations would commence to-day.

Absolutely Puro HOYAl SANNa POWMR 00., NSW YORK. POWDER Pittsburg, Oct. S. Grayfwho has served over 14 years of a life sentence In the penitentiary for the sun-posed murder of Mrs. Mary MeCready at SaltHburg, Westmoreland county, was yesterday released from'prtson on a pardon Issued by the governor, because It had ben proven that another committed the deed.

The ex-prlsoner left for his home In Indiana county last night. Gray's case was a remarkable one. Mary MeCready disappeared from her home Feb. 20, 1877. Fourteen months afterward some boys found a skull on the bankB of a stream.

It was taken to the nearest country store and was the- curiosity of the neighborhood for weeks. Finally it was decided that the skull was that of Mary MeCready, and after an Inquest Silas Gray was held for the murder. The body was nover found. Gray was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. Ills commutation came about In a most singular manner.

George II. Wei shons, a Pittsburg newspaper man, read in a local paper In Harrlsburg, a few days before Gray's sentence was to take effect, the following: "It Is all wrong to hang Silas Gray, as Jack Petlss confessed to me in the Western penitentiary that he done the deed." Welshons located Hiram Bowermas-ter, tho signer of the article, near Shlp-pensburg, and secured an affidavit to the truth of what he had written. Governor Pattlson, on the strength of the document, commuted the sentence to life Imprisonment. Petlss and Bower-master were chums In prison and Petlss disclosed his secret. The commu tation ran so close a race with the death warrant that Gray was taken to the penitentiary on the very day that had been set for his execution.

The release of Gray was witnessed by a large crowd of officials and curious visitors, all anxious to bid the long Imprisoned man goodby. Among the visitors in the lobby at the time was Mrs. Cynthia Hunter, wife of the late ex-Judge James A. Hunter, of Greens-burg, who sentenced Gray to penal servitude. Mrs.

Hunter was almost overcome with Joy. She said It was one of the happiest moments of her life. She had always believed In the Innocence of Gray. She had often heard the late judge speak of Gray, and years after he was sentenced she had heard her husband say that he did not believe Gray was guilty of the murder of Mrs. MeCready.
