COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.


Committee.
Prior to the time of placing the HERALD
reporter under arrest last evening the busi-
ness transacted by the Borough Council was
of routine character, with the exception
that several Councilmen complained of the
dangerous condi ion of street crossings and
other parts Of streets on account of ice.
After the reporter was taken from the
Council room in the custody Of the Chief of
Police, the Councilmen proceeded with busi-
ness.
Mr.. Gallagher wanted bonds issued for the
new water works.
1t was decided that special meeting
and Kerns and Solicitor Schalk be invited to
attend, The object is to urge the contractors
to proceed with the construction Of the water
works
NIcssrs. s. A. Beddall and I, J. Mullahey
stated that the electric railway company was
willing to change its tracks to make room for
| the monument, but that if track at each
side of the structure was desired it would be
but fair for Council to pay the expense OF
paving one of the tracks. Council decided
that one track would be sufficient and
directed that an ordinance to that effect be
drawn.
Mr. O'Neil, Of the First ward, notified
Council that he would h old the borough on a
claim for damages by reason of injuries
sustained by his grandchild in falling upon
an icy pavement. The matter was referred
| to the law committee.
On motion Of Mr.. Lamb il was decided tha
an appropriation of $500 be made to the
committee on water works for expenses anC
that hereafter the Borough Council assum,
all responsibility for the water works
On motion it was decided that the Chic
Burgess be instructed to close all pool-whee
and other gambling places.
On motion an order of 50 was granted tt
Councilman Lamb for expenses incurred il

relating TO the wafer works.

The matters in connection with the CATH
property on West Cherry street which the
School Board has been trying to secure as =
site for new school building are becoming
badly twisted. As they stand now il depends
upon "a toss Of penny whether the board
win hold the property, or drop all proceed
inps and rclinauish Ct claim to it. Mhen
the board first staked Off the piece it wanted
the Gather people asked $4,000 for ii.
| Viewers were then appointed by the court
upon application of the School Board aud
| they fixed the value at $4,000, This the
| board thought was exorbitant and an applt-
cation was made for a review. Pending
these proceedings the School Board was
| informed that the Attorney for the Gather
people had stated that Mrs Gather was
disposed to call matters quits and II the board
wished to relinquish the property and drop
all proceedings it would not he held liable for
damages. The Solicitor for the board was
then instructed to prepare papers to drop tue
matter, but when the Attorney called upon
Mrs. Gather she stated that she had never
authorized the board to say that she would
not make a claim for damages. This was the
substance of report made to the School
Board last night together with an offer from
Mrs Gather to sell the staked ground and the
property adjoining for $1,000. Some of the
members at the meeting Wednesday night
were disposed to accept the offer, whils
others maintained a stand quite to the con-
trary. The members who were opposed to
the purchase eventually defeated a motion for
that purpose by some very warm arguments.
They maintained that the board was not
being treated fairly in the matter; that a
high figure was put on the staked portion Of
the property to get the board TO purchase the
whole and now the claim fo+ MANAGE i7
brought in to keep the board from throwing
/, up the whole thing. These members got
quite warm in their arguments and some Of
J them declared that for their part they

chances are about even for the School Boald

The Last of the Series OF Congress
es at the State ~"
The third and last of the series of con-
crosses at the university summer school
was that of the county superintendent
and institute conductors, which was held
at the main building of the university
both morning and afternoon yesterday.
The morning session, although it began
most peaceably in a weli-presented
paper by Supt. Engstrom, of Goodhue
county, on 1.-The Possibilities of the
Summer School," gradually warmed UP
and developed considerable allimus be-
fore.t noon adjournment. Supt. Eng
Strom'S remarks were variOuSly dis
cussed by Miss Guptil, Prof. V. NJ.
O'Shea, Of the Mankato Normal school !;
Supt. Reynolds, of Rice comfy: Supt.
Davis and others.
Prof. Kirkpatrick, of Winona, not a
superintendent, arose and moved that
the convention put itself Oh record as
favorlny the preparation by committee
TO be appointed of all outline of studies
for the summer schools to be held in the
future. The resolution was seconded
by two or three gentlemen. Prot. Alton,
state Inspector, opposed, and an hours
wrangling followed, after which the
original question was taken up and car
ried unanimously, by virtue of which a
committee is to be appointed to present
at the mid winter meeting of the super
intendents schedule of branches for
the summer schools.
The afternoon session, while less
stormy, was not productive of any great
amount of business settled. Sd. Race,
of Redwood county. acted as chairman
of the assembly, and Miss Fanny Lap
ham, of Houston county. as secretary.

There is no sectional feeling about
Paine's celery compound. 1t is found
III thousands of homes in the north, the
east, the south and the west. 1t is above
party and politics.
The strong aud truthful statement
made short time ago by an old physi-
elan in New York that ''Paine's celery
compound is life and health to thou
sands of sickly and suffering women"
is fully and amply borne out by results
obtained in the Ladies' Benevolent So
ciety's home. Montreal.
People in every section of the world
have heard OF the charitable and Chris
tian work done by wealthy and philan-
thropic ladies OF Montreal. in the noble
institution just referred to, which has
been in existence nearly 65 years.
A year ago it was deemed advisable
to introduce Paine's celery compound
into the home, as so much had been said
by the physicians in favor of the great
remedy. Indeed. many friends, con-
tributors and workers for the home had
themselves used Paine's celery COM
pound and obtained astonishing bene-
fits.
Never i'll the history of this long
established institution" reads the re-
port, was anything received with
greater demonstration of joy and thank
fulness.
Fully score of worthy old ladies.

suffering from rheumatism. nervous
complaints, and other grave troubles,
soon found new life, energy, vim, and
freedom from pain that other medi-
cines had failed to accomplish. The old
ladies rest better, sleep better. eat bet
ter. and are freer from pain than they
have been for years.
The officials of the Montreal Ladies'
Benevolent Society have not been slow
to recognize the fact that the old ladies'
lady directreSSeS have officially written
compound, expressing their hearty
thanks for the good done.
Above IS q photograph of a group of
the women benefited-as "happy q
group as can be imagined" says the
letter that accompanies it. ''made happy
by that life myigorator, Paine's celery
compound"
1t is because old age to most people
means debility, loss OF powers of mind
and body. and growing WEAKNESS and
weakness, that it is dreaded.
But there's another kind of old age
now possible. One cannot defy death,
but he can disease.
Nature meant old age TO be hale and
sound, and by attending closely to the
| means or repair of the body, one NAV
| live according to nature, to q grand old
age in the best sense. Paine's celery
compound makes good old age posi-
bic to many. Paine's celery compound
is a true source of uourishment to the
nervous system and through the nerves
to the entire body.

Frightful Fight Between French

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Paris corre-
spondent of the Times says of the tight
between French and Italian working
men in Aigues.Mortes yesterday: At
least so were killed and $50
wounded in the fight. The French,

of weapon from pickaXeS and bludgeons
to firearms. There we're frightful

erwards 500 Italians barricaded them
selves on farm. They were besieged
forthwith by the French, and a regular
battle followed. Whenever an Italian
escaped lie was hunted like rat to his

The fight had its origin in a dispute
regarding wages. The Italians were
working at the salt works Tor wages
lower than those demanded by and paid
to the Frenchmen employed. The latter
reared that it would be only question
OF time when they would be re-
placed by Italians, and much bad feel
ing was engendered by the two nation
alltIes. Yesterday some of the men,
trenchmen and l Italians, became in

countrymen.
There is no apprehension of further
trouble, the mayor of the town announc-
ing that henceforth no Italians will be
employed in the salt works.
