Councilmen James, McGrire, Meluskey
Kerns, Hand, Gallagher, Gafiigan, Stout,
Kane, Gable and Lamb, aud Messrs.
William Kimmel and NJ f.. Doyle, mem
bers of the joint committee on water
works, met in the Council chamber to
discuss affairs in connection with the
works and more especially in relation to
| the statement of the supervising engineer
and contractors that $1,000 additional
will be required for the purchase of extra
heavy pipe to run from the pumps to the
top of the mountain on the Catawissa
| side.
Some time was taken up by remarks of
some of the CounCilmen, in which they
used some pretty severe terms when re-
| ferring to the contractors and engineer
and some of them were in favor of in
structing the former to proceed with the
| works and use the pipe contracted for,
| but no one would make a motion to that
effect.
The contract and the part referring to
the 6OOpound pressure pipe which was
erased were considered and it was
| inferred from what was said that most of
Councilmen realize that any extra ex-
pense that may be incurred for the pipe
required will fall upon the borough.
At the same time the damaged breast
Mr.. Lamb said there was no doubt in his
| mind that the contractors will be obliged
to stand the expense of the repairs. In
confirmation of this he pointed to a part
of the specifications attached to the con.
tract which read Damage to the work
from high water, or any cause, before its
final completion, shall be made good by
the contractor at his own expense"
On motion Messrs Lamb, Meluskey,
stout, kimmel and Doyle were appointed
a committee to go over all books and
papers and everything in connection with
| the works and visit Mahanoy City, Sha-
mokin and other places they may deem
necessary to secure data on the cost of
pipe and make n report to Council.
An estimate by Engineer Womelsdorf
showing that S24 SOP 9S is due Messrs
| Quinn & Kerns on the contract, was read
and ordered returned for correction be-
cause it did not provide for retention OF
twenty per cent. on the cost of the pipe
until the pipe is proved satisfactory
A bill from Engineer Womelsdorf for
S455. 33, balance of his three per cent
commission on the amount expended on
the water works-SSl Si4 fthe S24,5O2. .9S
included) was read and ordered returned
for correction because Council claims one
third of the commission was to be with
held until the completion of the works.
The water committee was instructed to
notify the contractors to push the work
on the FOwler's Run reservoir as quickly
as possible

A Creek on Fire,

Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon an immense cloud of the blackest
kind of smoke rose to the heavens in the
vicinity of the Shenandoah City colliery
and people who saw it thought the
breaker was on fire. Engineer Jonas
Shoup, of l.. V. engine No 66, was within
viewing distance of the fire and as ne sped
on his way to the Pennsylvania railroad
station he blew the whistle of his engine
as an alarm. The colliery whistle was
also blown and the electric alarm system
was called into play. The fire companies
responded and when. they reached
the scene they found the colliery
employees battling with the flames which
were sweeping along the creek for dis
tance of several hundred yards and were
licking the roof and sides OF Otto Carl's
slaughter house, which is located on the
opposite side of the creek from the col
liery. The fire was extinguished before
the slaughter house sustained much
damage. 1t was started by the dripping
pipe of the gas house becoming ignited
from spark from a LOCOMOTIVES The
floating oil and drippings on the creek
caught up the flames rapidly and carried
them down to the slaughter house.

FREELAND BEAT U.s..
The Home Team Made Many
Costly Errors.
HOW THEGAMF WAS LOST
The Winning Run was Made on Two
Errors-Yerkss Pitched Good Game
and the FreeIand Pitcher Did welI-.It
Was Their Battle

Avery slim crowd was at the Trottinp
park yesterday afternoon to witness tae
game of base ball between the home
team and the Freeland's, and the manage
ment received poor encouragement in its
efforts TO establish week day games.
The contest was a very interesting one
up to the seventh inning, but after that
the home men broke repeatedly and made
several costly errors. On the other hand
the visitors, with the exception of the
second baseman, played an almost per
feet game All the home players except
| Meyers and Harris figure in the error
column. The former played earnestly
| and Harris put up one of his best games.
He played In centre field until the ninth
| inning when he relieved Young as
| catch The latter was not up to his
mark. He was slow and uncertain in
throwing to second and his two errors
advanced men to third base
The lOoseuess with which the home
team played in the closing innings was
| tiagrant. In some respects it appeared to
be a case of over confidence. In the
| seventh inning Welsh got to first on an
error by Yerkes In attempting to handle
a ball which could have been felded
nicely by the second baseman. S. Welsh
was then advanced to third by Young's
overthrow and matters looked very blue
for the home team, but Yerkes made up
| for his error by striking out McFadden
| and j. Welsh in succession and the side
was retired before S. Welsh could get
home by Myers capture Of a fly.
In the eighth inning Gaffney got his
base on balls after Breslin went out on a
fly to Barkley. YOung's error then ad-
vanced Gatfuey to third and Musser's
error brought in the run. Bonner and
Heron then went out on flies.
When the tenth inning was entered
upon the spectators We're in great expec
fancy. Yerkes got his base on balls, but
was thrown out when trying to steal to
third by Bonner, aud two flies retired the
side
The bunch of errors that gave the
visitors the victory then followed. Nc.
Gill, the first batter, sent a nice fiy to left
| neld, but Martin allowed the ball to drop
Harris threw Breslin out at first and
McGill advanced. Harris attempted GO
throw him out at that point and while a
discussion as to whether McGill was out
was going on Barkley got possession OF
the ball. When the game was ordered on
Barkley rolled the ball towards Yerkes,
but in such a manner chat the latter did
not get possession of it until McGiu got
TO third. Yerkes then tackled on a wild
pitch and McGill did the rest. Score:
