Leads all Others WHAT COUNCILMEN I DID NIGHT'S POSTPONED REGLAST ULAR MEETING REVIEWED. MOMEY FOR THE FIREMEN Electrie Railway Gets Its Usual The Scorching, While the Road Roller Turns Another Round. The adjourned-postponed regular meetof the borough council was held in ing the fire engine house lest evening. Those present McCauley, Jones, Delcamp, Berner, Wilwere Christ, Buddinger, Grose, son, Robertson William Dwyer was given the floor. Three months ago had asked council to exonerate him from borough tax in consideration of labor done in order to protect his property from inroads of water the borough failed to take care of.

Berner, street committee, stated that the premises had been inspected. Thought Dwyer had only done others would to improve and beautify property and could see no occasion for award. Dwyer explained that borough had a right to protect his property from inroads of water. Had a clear case of damages, but was not given to instituting suit for matters of this kind. He favored compromise.

Work was worth ten times the ten dollars exoneration he asked. Dwyer withdrew. J. Percy Townsend, representing the road roller people, was given the floor. His firm had sent him to inquire about probable payment his roller.

Mr. Berner that there were $22,000 in orders outstanding when his order was granted, and expected he would have to wait like the rest. Thought the economical management in vogue would tend to straighten matters out gradually. Delcamp thought some arrangement should be made to pay part. The roller people had been lenient with the borough, and borough should do something as soon as possible.

Townsend seemed satisfied and withdrew. Levi Deitrich was spokesman for a committee from the fire company asking an appropriation to the department. Related how council several years ago had passed a resolution appropriating $300 a year to fire company. One payment had been made. Must ask for assistance, to maintain the company.

He was supported by John Adams in similar remarks. Mr Berner asked if the borough had not been assuming all bills contracted for the fire department, and was advised affirmatiyely. He thought, that was as much as the borough do at this time under the circumstances, much 88 council would like to appropriate. Delcamp thought they deserved assistance and if any possible Way of granting the favor it should be done. Wil-on regretted existing circumstances.

Favored granting the company assistance if such a thing were possible, but eituated as borough is could not sanction appropriation at this time. Believed if an effort was made individual contributione could be had to amount to more than required. He, for one, would start the thing going with $5. Berner chimed in "So will as did Christ, Robertson, and McCauley, and probably othere. The only drawback the collecting.

No one cared to take upon themselves that onerous duty. Deitrich, of the fire company, declared the company had enough to do to look after the apparatus, without going begging for the service rendered. Wilson came to the rescue. Had never seen the three newspapers of the town a unit on one thing heretofore, but possibly they could be induced to harmonize on this, and devote their energies in the direction of creating a general fund. For his part he would utilize the columns of the DAILY News unstintingly, and believed the other papers would willingly do likewise.

Christ thought the idea was a very good one. Believed the desired object could be attained in that way. Wilson moved that a formal request be made by council to the different local the end stated. Berner seconded the newspapers, enlisting their services to motion and it carried without a dissenting voice. Street committee, through Mr.

Berner, reported progress made on Fifth street, and referred council to surveyor for balance of report. Surveyor Kemble-Had given grade on street in conformity with propPlumb and erties under adjoining and agreeable to owners, direction of the street committee. The Gibbins property on Fifth street, damaged by the change of grade, had been re adjusted according to con60 tract. Contractor Yerkes had completed lineal feet of three foot culvert and 67 lineal feet of additional two foot culvert on $135 Vine street, amounting to respectively 00 and $150.75, total $285.00.

Supervisor Raudenbush reported failure of William Lerch to replace his curb and gutter, recently washed away. Pavement had not been filled and heavy rains removed the curbing in consequence. Had notified Lerch to replace but refused do so. Street committee was instructed to insist on the work being done. The police report showed $19 00 collected for fines, $14 00 from 'Squire Amour and $5 00 from 'Squire Lewis.

The report of the board of health was short and sweet. Bill of state examiner Clark, of Sunbury, who visited Mt. Carmel recently, was again introdnced. Ten dollars was charged for legal advice. Council could not see where this was necessary and instructed the secretary to request Dr.

Clark to enlighten them on that particular subject. An ordinance to prevent the storage of o1l inside the borough limits, a very good measure, was introduced by Mr. Berner. It requires that not more, than five barrels be permitted at place at one time, and that a penalty of $100 be imposed for the offense. Wilson moved it pass first reading, and the motion carried.

Mr. Gross, of the lockup committee, presented list of balls and chains he was instructed to procure for use on those who failed to pay their fines for offenses in the borough, and who were placed on the streets to work. Did not understand that he had been instructed to go ahead and purchase or would have done so. Council was about to determine upon the size and price of the paraphernalia when Wilson interposed, and suggested that the council first ascertain whether the placing of a ball and chain CONTINUED ON SECOND PAGE. A Vest Pocket Time Card.

The Shamokin-Mt. Carmel Electric Railway has introduced quite a innovation in the way of a vest pocket time card that will be appreciated by the patrons of the road. It is a neat little folder, giving the time of leaving of all cars at Shamokin, Mt. Carmel, and Centralia, and also designating where in each town tickets may be purchased. The management of the road is taking advantage of the laxity the winter months afford in railroad building and excursions, etc are energetically at work devising means and methods for the material improvement of traffic facilities and the comfort and convenience of the people who find the electric railway an indispensable convenience.

An Unusual Occurrence. Two full moons will come in December. Adventists say that this has not occurred since the coming of Christ, 1,896 years ago, and from the coincidence argue his second coming during the approaching holidays. BAD BURGLARS ABROAD TREY INVADED PREMISES DURING THE DEAD OF NIGHT BLEW OPEN TWO SAFES. Marks' Bottling Works and Mummey's Grocery Thieves Captured $25 and Two Coats.

Once more the bold, bad burglar has been prying his vocation in our midst, result of his operations last night twenty dollars in cash and two overcoats are missing from one place, while but two boxes of cigars awarded the efforts of the thief or thieves in another. The safes, however, gave up their usefulness. Marks' bottling establishment at the extreme South end of Maple street was visiting by the burglars. Here they blew open the big safe and secured about twenty- five dollars in change Mr. Marks had allowed to remain there.

His heavy beaver overcoat, and the one owned by a driver, were also taken. Two guns were out of their accustomed places, indicating that these had been intended as plunder, but were discarded when the thieves were frightened away. That they frightened is in evidence. Mr. Marks resides across the street from the place of business.

At an early hour this morning the servant girl had occasion to go down stairs to the kitchen for a glass of water. As she entered the outer room some one outside the door called in a suppressed tone to another at distance. She thought possibly a Peeping Tom had seen her through the window, and she skedaddled off to bed. This leads to the belief that the honse was being watched, and still further that the miscreants who committed the deed are familiar with the premises. This fact is also very much in evidence at grocery of J.

Mummey, on West Third street, where another burglary was committed, but without great reward. This robbery was likely committed first, for the tools were secured from Ferd Miller's blacksmith shop near by. Mummey's safe was blown to pieces. He does not reside near the little store and bad taken the precaution of clearing the safe of its valuables before locking up. They failed to get a cent.

They took two, boxes of cigars, and showed their discomfit over their failure to secure big booty by deliberately destroying a box of cigare and leaving behind. They also filled their pockets candy. thera Six holes were bored in the safe and dualin inserted. The tools left behind at Marks' were also recognized as being from Millers shop. County Detective Kauffman and the police are looking up case.

LOCUST GAP LOCALS. Already has the fall pig killing commenced in town. This is a very important part of the preparations for winter. During the coming week many a porker will be laid low and it will be a busy week for some of our people. A Nimrod who lives outside of Mt.

Carmel who went hunting a few weeks, took two dogs with him. While roaming through the woods he spied what he thought to be a rabbit. Although rabbits were not yet in season, he raised his weapon to bis shoulder and fired. but found to his sorrow that he had shot one of his own dogs. I wonder whether he took the other dog home with him or if he shot him, too, for a cotton tail.

The result of the recent election in Locust Gap, seems to give eyery one the best of satisfaction. The heavy vote polled that old Democracy's influence is still felt in our town. The largest vote polled for any one candidate was 312. This record has not been surpassed within the past half dozen year: at least. Previously the largest vote polled did not reach higher than 275.

Despite the assertions that have been made to the effect that Locust Gap's Democratic majority is being reduced year by year, Tuesday's magnificent vote plainly shows that the Democratic party still holds the reins of power with a strong hand and is likely to do so for some time to come. There is abundant evidence that the old party's banner will continue to float in the breeze for years to come. The drum corps has had their base drum decorated with the following words: "Perseverance Drum Corp, of Locust Gap, work was done by Miss Annie Delaney, who is an expert artist, and the bovs admire the work very much as it is done to perfection. A Cow With a Career. Some days ago the DAILY NEWA told of how a cow trespassed upon the premises of a Walnut street resident and without fear or favor swallowed a sheet that it tore from the wash line.

This unusual occurrence was vouchsafed by two wellknown citizens who are good as their word and never deviate from the beaten path of iron-clad veracity. This same cow has since gotten itself into trouble around other premises, and unless the borough council soon passes another resolution to enforce the ordinance to pertaining serions trouble may be thereapprehended. The other night this same bovine, following in the footsteps of the cow that jumped over the moon, "flew" over the iron fence that surrounds the residence of a well known citizen on Second street. In retracing its stepladder antics it became impaled on the iron palings while the pale moon shed its silvery mooness over the surroundings The mournful moanings of the beast told unmistakable tones its repentance, and a small boy was dispatched to the corner inconvenienced grocery for help to "jack up" the cow, which by this time had become somewhat subdued through fact that the arrow fence the prongs workings had of its materially interior interfered with mechanism. It was released, low and departed in silence, head bowed in evident expression of the heartfelt gratitude to its benefactors.

To make its manoeuvors more mysterious, Mike Doyle, the Shenandoah News, an able authority on sporting events, insists that since the cow swallowed the sheet six towels and a half dozen handkerchiefs have been milked from it, going to prove that its experience on the fence has not interfered with the clock works of the lacteal fluid producer. Saturday the same cow chewed up an apron with apparent relish The woman escaped by untying the strings. The Man About Town. To-morrow evening, November 13th, the engagement of the New York Bijon Theatre success "'The Man About Town" will be produced at the opera house. "The Man About Town" is an unusually bright a and pleasing farce comedy, which has for its central figure a semi- pious bachelor who wishes to be considered a man without possessing the first qualifications for such a character, who once being introduced to the manner of living consistent with the char acter, enters into it wilh so much realism that he becomes involved with a dancer from the Opera Comique, and then his troubles begin.

His ad ventures and misadventures furnish many laughable eitnations and much amusement, and one wonders after having seen the play, whether Mr. Will R. Wilson, the author, did not have convulsions of the brain, to be able to successfully extridite the characters from the many tangled but ludicrous complications. M. C.
