Chairman Ettla, in speaking of city property, made the following pertinent "As chairman of tho committee I desire to call your attention to the important business we now have before us. I el that a deep reaponsibilty rests upon me which I have sworn to discharge and should endeavor t. do. The erection of new market houses has long been delayed and now upon the acceptance and approval of the bids should be rapidly pushed to their completion. The urgent necessi'y of the repairs of the Friendship and Hope engines demand our attention.

I feel there was a neglect in this matter somewere and took upon myself the lib erty of writing to the manufactories where they were sent. From the Button works I Irarn that the Hope steamer is being repaired as rapidly as is possible under the press of business they have. From thft Massachusetts works I learn that the engine ia yot untouched; where the fault is I cannot tell, but from what I learn other parties outside of the commit who have been in correspondence are the cause of the delay. We cannot tell how soon its service may be needed and its repairs should be hastened that it can be returned to the city and the company." The committee instructed Mr. Ettla to give prompt attention to the repairs of the engines now being made and have them expedited as much as possible.

The plan of streets and lots that covers the cite of the old reservoir grounds was open for Inspection of tho committee. Fourth street cuts tuo square in two ana mere are forty four lots along it. There are twenty three. Jots along Briggs street, eleven along North and twelve along Foster streets. East and Elder streets are alone, having no lots marked upon them.

D. Ferree, Millersburg, on Monday, and was buried yesterday at Loyalton. The Lykens Jtegister says: "The Ferroe family was closely indentured with the early history of this portion of Dauphin county. "Joel Ferree, the grandfather of Joel B. Ferree, came from Lancaster county about the year 1771 and located near Oakdale forge, where ho had previously purchased the land from tho widow of Andrew Lycans, the first pioneer, w'oel B.

Ferree laid out the town of Lykens, which his father, Isaac Ferree, purchased about the year 1826 for $19 90. This tract contained sixty seven acres of land. Tho first house in tbwn, local annals tell us, was built by Joel B. Ferree and the late Richard Nolen in April, 1832. The title to Isaac uiiLk; a puivuanct aimuuu uiauu iu i in; name of his daughters Jane and Rachel, passed out of his hands before his death on a judgment held against him by Simon Oratz.

On the formation of Wiconisco township under the act of Assembly of July 2, 1839, Joel B. Ferree at the first election in the new township, April 14, 1840, was elected one of the justices of the peace. Some years later he moved to Washington township, near Good's mill, where he was chosen a justice of the peace in 1865, and where his wifn riinrl nVwvif after her death, the children all having grown up, ho took up his horns with his eon Uriah In Millersburg."

We believe there weie but two er captions. One of lhet is of great u' to both the city and county that of the City of Ilarrisburg vs. John M. Sla ck. It "him mi interesting history.

The act oi 18G0, whie in lorponited the city, made it dut to straighten and change the course of Pax ion creek so that no stagnant water would remain in it or its vic nity, aad provided that if any damages wi re sus tained by any land owner he might apply to the court of quarter sessions and have them assessed, and that the county should pay them. The oily as to pay the ext ense of doing the work. Several yeais afterward a snvdl portion ot the creek was straightened, and no question raised as to the liability of the county to pay damages for land taken, but in 1875 a largo section of the creek was straightened and a large amount of damages accrued. Petitions were filed in the quarter sessions and viewers were appointed, when the county interposed.and, with the aid oi the best legal talent at the bar, had the proceedings dismissed for want of jurisdiction in that court, because the act of 1874, which the city had thn accepted, provided that when land, was taken under it, proceedings should be taken in the common pleas. The court holding that as the work was done since the acceptance of the act of 1874, it was, therefore, done under th it act.

Then the landowners petitioned the common pleas and about ten thousand dollars in damages were assessed. When the reports of the viewers were confirmed, the question was raised who was to be the paymaster the city or the county The county, by its attorneys, successfully urged that the act of 1860 was repealed by the act of 1874, and the court adopted that view in an opinion filed in 1875. So the city had to ay, and did pay, both for doing the work and the damages for land, taken. When the present City Solicitor Hargest came into office he id occasion to examine the cases, and after carefully scrutinizing them he found he could not believe that these questions were rightly decided, and from that time on he has been seeking an occasion to have the questions reargued. Last yeur the Highway Committee co operated with him cordially, and arranged to have the matter fully discussed and reviewed in the Supreme Court.

About this time the Shcck case arose and it was resisted by the City Solicitor, and so conducted as to raise the questions anew, and they were again decided against the city, by which decision John M. Sheck was awarded five hundred dollars. The case was taken to the Supreme Court, which has now reversed the lower court, and decides that the act of 1874 did not repeal the act of 1860 in respect to the straightening of Paxton creek, and the city is not liable for the damages, and gives judgment for the cty with costs. It results plainly from this litigation that the county owes to the city all the damages which the city has paid for changing the course of Pax ton creek. A suit was brought by the city about a year ago to make reclamation from the county.

It will now be pushed, but possibly the county will pay without further litigation. Hon. Frank Jordan ably assisted the City Solicitor in contesting tho Sheck case and in the argument in tho Supreme Court. The county was represented by County Solicitor Ott and Messrs. Weiss Gilbert.

A YOUNG GlKit'd HEROISM. At the Risk of Her Life She Saves Her Mother From Burning to Oeatli. Mies Bessie Cooch, of Pottsville.a young ladv well known in Harrisburg, who for several years past has been the guest of Mrs. Ross Swartz when she visits this city, proved herself a heroine yesterday at her home, in a very sad aflair. The particulars are given in a special dispatch from Pottsville, as lollows Mrs.

Thos. Cooch; wifo of one of the wealthiest residents of this town, was fatally burned while superintending tho boiling of apple butter in the yard of her resv ence. Her dress caught fire in tho front, but. she sue ceeded in extinguishing it, but in so do ing turned her back to the fire. At this instant her clothing took fire behind, and in a moment she was wrapped in flames.

She shrieked for help, and her daughter, Miss Bessie, who was in an upper room of the house, ran down to her assistance and endeavored to smother tho flames with a piece of carpet which she hastily picked up on ber way to the yard. Tho young lady never for an instant lost her presenco of mind, or stopped to consider her own danger in attempting to save her mother She threw the carpet over her mother's head, and taking her in her arms endeavored to smother the flames, which by this time encircled her. Then running into the kitchen she picked up a bucket of water which stood by and dashed it over tho burning woman. This subdued the flames, and then only did the young lady discover that her own dress had taken fire. Fortunately it was of woolen material and easily extinguished.

Her hands, however, had been severely burned and her hair singed. During the wholo excitement Mrs. Cooch boro up well, though suffering intense agony. Almost every thread of clothing was burned from her body, and her injuries extended from above her waist to her feet. Miss Bessie Cooch was to have gone to Philadelphia to day to make purchases for her wedding, which was to take place on the 25th but which the accident may be the means of postponing.

T. Hummel's residence were broken open and the cross bar at the side window of his and his son's store was considerably bent by efforts to force it off. Here they evidently became alarmed and left, taking none of the implements they used with them, which consisted of "an iron bar, stolen from the stable of John Yutz, an auger from Stouffer Stephenson's wagon maker shop, and a heavy hammer. 7.

Recognizing the fact that inferior stones have little intrinsic value, it has been our business aim to offer only such Diamonds as we can unhesitatingly recommend as a judicious money investment In Rubies, Emeralds, Sapphires, Cat's Eyes, and Rare colored Gems of all kinds, we have been fortunate in securing many beautiful specimens. We desire to extend a most cordial invitation to our customers and others in this city to visit our store, now rendered additionally attractive, by reason of the many elegant goods of all kinds constantly arriving from abroad.
