T1TUsvILLE, July 7.-[Special ]-Several
citizens had an interview with Governor
Pattison at Harrisburg to-day, and made an
appeal of behalf of the city for an immedi-
ate appropriation by the State to place the
channel of Oil creek in its former bed.
From careful estimates made by compe-
tent engineers it was learned that the ex-
pense would be fully $45, 900 to protect the
city from danger. The Governor was asked
to have this sum advanced, as the work
must be done before fall, and the city is not
in financial shape to undertake the task.
To properly protect the city it will require

LOTS OF WORK TO Do.
Big Docket Before the
City Council.
BOARD MEETS WEDNESDAY.
Will the Republicans Continue to Re
fuse to Serve Their Constituents?

City Clerk Sibey yesterday mailed no.
tices To the memters of the Board OF Al
dermen to attend the regular monthly
meeting of the Board on Wednesday even
ing, February 10th, ct s o'clock, in the
City Hall.
II the Board means business II has lots
of it to do, as the appropriation, which
are usually attended to in January, are as
yet unconsidered.
No business having been done at the
January meeting, it is also in order to
take up, in addition to the regular
monthly business, the unpaid bills OF last
month.
The citizens who hold bills against the
city no doubt are anxious TO get their
money. How they can be paid, hoH ever,
unless a special meeting OF the Common
Council is called, is a mystery at present,
as there is no money provided, or appro-
priated, yet to pay them with.
The pool snd billiard table licenses have
all eX )ired and they will have 20 be re-
newed.
Then again, the annual election OF city
officers must be held this month. | may
not come up on next Wednesday evening,
however, unless the Common Council is
called in special session by Mayor Carroll
Upto the present, he has uo, signihsd
his int ntion OF SO doing.
Whether the Republican members of
the Board have made up therir minds, or
any portion Of them 10 assist in doing the
business for which they were elected, or
not; that is to transact thc business OF
the city in Il sensible manner, i5 purely
problematicsl.
1t is thought, however, that consider
able OF the political heat has cooled of.
The City Clerk has big docket of buai-
ness TO lay before the Board whcnoycg it
decides to settle down to business.

WAS e. GruN. Feb. e. 49, Ex-Prcsident
Clevelahu, naving returned to New York,
his friends ami admirers here, including
Sen ators Villas and Carlisle. expect that
he and his supporters will take advantage
of the political situation and pursue n
course that will strengthen the movement
against Hill. The proper course, these
senator's think, is not To call a separate
convention to be held at n later date, but
to rally all Cleveland's New York friends
and attend the Albany convention. To
attempt To elect delegates TO another con-
vention would place them In an attitude
of not only hostility, but OF leading a fac-
tion Of boilers ahd thus enable Hill and
his friends TO recover in u measure the
prestige he has lost by his mid winter
convention. By this course his friends
think he would precipitate a lively fight
ali along the line which would enable
them to rally their full force at the AL
bany convention, and thereby secure n
number Of delegates TO the Chicago con-
vention and defeat Hill Advices re-
ceived here by Senator Villas and others
from New York city and different parts Of
the Empire State indicate that Hill and
his friends are greatly alarmed NJ the sit
uation and that the revolt against him Is
spreading throughout the state.
