WE WE'RE RIGHT.

People who have been doubling
whether the HERALD was justified in
rapping the members of Council on
the knuckles for their conduct in con-
nectiOn with the electric railway
ought to be convinced by this time
that the HERALD was right. The
statements of the COuncilmen and the
off cial minutes of the meeting sus-
tain the HERALD's position. The
HERALD charged that the eight Coun-
cilmen, of whom so much has been
said, stopped the construction of the
electric railway in town, The Coun-
cilmen stated to their friends, on the
streets and at the mass meeting in
Robbins opera house, that they did
not stop the work. These statements
W ere contradicted at the Council meet
ing Thursday by the reading Of the
official minutes and statements of the
Borough Solicitor. The attempts to
shield themselves by oral statements
to Judge Sadler made by certain mem
bers Of Council is nOnsensical. The
motion recorded is this: "On motion
of Gable, that the Solicitor and Street
Committee act in conjunction and
secure an injunction against the etec-
trio rail,Oay company" There is
nothing in the motion authorizing
Mr.. Betteridge, or any other Council
man, to give the railway company ten
or fifteen days time, or even an hour.
The railway was obliged to stop work
or become a party to law suit and as
the latter Article is an expensive lux
ury (our Councilmen will admit this
Judge Sadler stopped the construction
of the road. The Council raised the
gun and took aim. Before they could
pull the trigger the railway company
got out of range.

AT THE mass meeting in Robbins
hall Councilman Lamb repeatedly
contradicted Councilman Holman
when that gentleman stated that be
voted TO have the electric road paved.
If Mr.. Lamb will refer to the Borough
Council minutes he will find that
Morris Wurm, Councilman at that
time, made the motion providing that
the electric railway should be paved
with mountain stone and that the
motion was carried by unanimous
vote.

PRINCE BISMARCK SUED.
Editor FusangeI, of Berlin, Brings an AO
tion Against Him for Libel.


tion Against Him for Libel.
BERLIN, April 23-Editor Fusangel
has begun a libel suit against Prince
Bismarck. This suit is consequence of
the celebrated Bochum income tax case
which involved an accusation of fraud
and collusion against Director Baare of
the Bochum Steel Institute in Bochum
and the Income Tax Assessors.
Fusangel edited a newspaper in Bo-
chum, and was arrested for libeling the
Assessors and Baare. In June last he
was sentenced to prison for five months.
At about that time Prince Bismarck said
in public speech that the persons then
attacking the Bochum steel industry
probably were in the pay of foreign gov
ernments
This was supposed to be a reference to
Fusangel and is the basis of his COM
plant against Prince Bismarck.

Won Dor Abe Claims the "Gladiator. ;,

PrTrsBURa, Pa, April 93.-Chris Won
der Abe has filed protest with Presi-
dent Nick Young against Pete Browning
playing ball with Louisville. Won der
Abe claims that negotiations we're pend
ing between himself and Browning for
the latter to play with the St. Louis
Club Won der Abe says Louisville lost
all rights to Browning by not accepting
him when assigned to them by the Iudi-
annapolis meeting. President Young has
not yet given his decision in the matter.

ONE THING an A TIME.

There is no objection to allowing the
people of this borough to vote on the
question as to whether or not public
water works shall he established, but
there is a strong objection to steps in
that direction before the joint COM
mlttee renders an accounting. That
committee drew large sum of money
out Of the borough treasury on the
strength of the special election held
several years ago and the court has
decided that the committee had no
right to act under that election.
Now then, let that committee account
to the Borough Council and the
people. The people have right to
know how much was expended, what
the money was spent for and what
hope, if any, exists for its return.

THE Borough Council has decided
to apply for new trial in the case Of
ex.Hlgh Constable Farley against the
borough. The application win in all
probability be denied, as it is really
only matter of form requisite for an
appeal to the Supreme Court, and by
the time the borough gets through the
experiment the original claim of about
$35 will have developed into "A healthy
lump of three figures, or more. II is
true that the case establishes bad
precedent, but our borough cannot af-
ford to go to the Supreme Court on
test Issues. A jury has decided that
Mr.. Farley is entitled to his claim. If
the jury erred it is our misfortune, but
the borough cannot be benefited by

An Extinct Monster Pound.

The steamer City Of Topeka, from
Alaska, has brought home to port a
mammoth skeleton. The skeleton
is that of a rhamphoreates, or whale
lizard, only the second one known
to be in e~xistance. The other, a
much smaller specimen, was found
some years ago near Oxford, Eng
land, and is one of the most valued
specimens in the British museum.
J. l.. Buck, of Everett, claims the
honor of having brougt ehis one to
light, althoug it was discovered four
years ago by Frank Willoughby, a

The spot where the skeleton was
found was nearly a mile from where
the original location was reported.
The skeleton was located on top of
the Muir glacier, six miles inland
and 500 feet above sea level, imbed-
ded in a cake of ice, requiring the
service of an entire party for two
days to dislodge it. At some time
during it's existance the skeleton
was badly shattered, and was some
what damaged when taken out.
The rhamphoreates, or whale liz
ard, has been extinct for over live
centuries, and is described IS the
liking of the land and the sea-" and
it was equally at home in the water
on land or in the air. In the first
instace, the rate of speed was some
thing terrific, rhe momentum being
produced with the legs, while the
enormous wings served to keep the
body out Of the water, the operation
bordering on the feat of walking on
the water. A single bone weighed
1874 pounds, while the entire skele-
ton tipped the scales at 2'4oo
pounds. The bones will be put to-
gether by Mr.. Buck at his home in
Everett, and after being exhibited
will be sent to the Smithsonian in
stitution for exhibition at the
Worlds fair. The specimen is val
ued at $4,000.
