MOUNT CARMEL, FORGOTTEN MESSAGE CAUSED THE Enxineer Consar of Sunbury, who was killed in the awful railroad wreck pear Weigh Scales yesterday, is gur. vived by a wife and three children. Fireman McElarf is survived by wife and one child.

Responsibility for the wreck has been practically fixed upon Harry Dunkelberger, telegraph operator at the Scales. 'The telegram for holding the east bound passenger train was lying on his table, but when he went out to the engineer that paper was overlooked. With all the censure, Dunkleberger is the recipient of a great deal of sympathy. He was married just a month ago, and his young wife has been dangerously ill for several days. Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night Dunkleberger was unable to sleep, and the awful strain was too much for him to endure.

He is trated over the affair, and. is being cared for by physicians. Today a Coroner's inquest is being held. Because of Dr. Dreher's accident he is unable to attend, but 'Squire McCormick is acting 88 deputy coroner.

Louis Gidding Third and Oak Streets- -Mount Carmel TUESDAY COUNCIL TALKS OF SEWER Plans to Complete the System This Year WILL PROPOSE ANOTHER BOND ISSUE At the Regular Session Last Night Seven Members Transact Much important Business, The report of the sewer committee was the most important matter of business before Counci last evening.

The present actual indebtedness of the borough, after all available assets are deducted, amounts to $54,000.

The amount necessary to complete "the sewer 18 a little less than $100,000, in addition to that already spent. The committee gave a plan to pro. vide for the new debt without increas. ing the present rate of taxation. Ac.

cording to the estimate the sum of $53.000 will be received from property owuers for permits to enter the sewer. Another bond issue of $50.000 would provide all the necessary money.

It is altogether likely that the people will pass upon this question. The supervisor was instructed to hire a two horse team and driver, to be employed in removing dead animals, garbage, etc.

According to the esti mate, the employment of the team for nine mouths in the year would cost $400 less per year than the fees of the high constable and the expenses of cleauing the streets.
