The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1891-12-04

The HERALD yesterday made spec
ial reference to the 1ue of the house
in the First ward in which the fire
occurred. Councilman Devers called
attention to the matter in council last
& ght and Councilman Wurm attempt
ed to throw a cloak of unimportance
over the matter with the remark that
no attention should be paid to the
papers. The HERALD again, upon re-
quest of citizens of the First ward,
asks the fue committee to see that
proper chimney is put in the house
referred to. We hope that the rapid
ending of Mr.. Wurm's term as coun-
Gilman is not making him reckless.

The Body Identified.

The body found on the mountain near
New Boston has been identified as that OF
Mrs. Agnes Lawrence, a Polish woman
who formerly resided in the First ward OF
this town, but of late had made her home
with her son-in.law, who resides next door
TO "the Blindman's" at Brownsville. The
woman was 80 years Of age and was twice
widow. The funeral took place this
morning from the residence Of the son-in-
law and the remains we're inferred in the
Polish cemetery on tho hill. Deputy
Coroner Fogarty, of Mahanoy City, is still
investigating the case. From examina-
tions made it is understood that there is no
ground for the report that the woman had
been outraged. The woman's life WAS
insured for Sl8l in the Home Friendly
Society, of Baltimore, but Superintendent
William T. Evans is Withholding payment

got no Doodle as member of the COM
mittee. This statement he made in answer
to reports he said were going about.
After the report was accepted and the
committee continued discussion arose be-
tween Mr. Devers and Mr.. Lamb, during
which the former charged Mr.. Lamb with
receiving $4 as a member of the law COM
mittee on the trial of the water company
case at Pottsville.
Mr.. Lamb Indignantly died the insinua-
tions of impropriety that accompanied the
charge and said that he and other mem bers
of the law committee attended to the law
suit under direction of council He col
lected evidence and performed other work,
aside from that of a witness, and he charged
for but four days at Pottsville.

Devers
YES" continued Mr.. Lamb, "Thirteen
dollars and some cents. got So day for
four days. Why, gentlemen, said Mr..
Lamb, addressing the council in general,
Il came back from Pottsville S. or Sc out
of pocket, over and above what you al
lowed me. l spent money for kilograms,
and even witness fees, out. of my own
pocket"
"Let the gentleman take the books Of
Council" put in Mr.. James. "If he is g
gentleman he will prove what he says, OF
withdraw the charge"
Mr.. Wurm then took hand in the mat
ter and in q few seconds he and Mr.. Devers
were engaged in such warm debate that
Chairman Gable was obliged to repeatedly
bring down his :gavel. But when Mr..
Wurm said he would throw Mr. Devers
out of the door the chairman brought
down the gavel with extra force and ex-
claimed, Here, here, gentlemen, I will
have no more of this. Stop it right now,"
and it stopped.
The fire apparatus committee was given
power to act in reference to a recommenda-
tion to send the borough fire engine TO
Waterford, N. Y, for repairs.
Mr.. James said that one of the electric
railway poles had made pavement on
West Coal street too narrow and the street
committee was instructed to attend to the
matter.
On motion of Mr., James, council directed
that an additional sum OF $500 be ad-
vsnced to the joint committee on water
works.

November was light. It showed but four
