THE GAS QUESTION.
No Action Taken by the Company on the
Bills.

No Action Taken by the Company on the
Bills.
The gas company held meeting last
night, but the business transacted was of
a purely routine character and the ex-
pected action on the remonstrances which
have been ventilated during the past few
days was not taken. Superintendent Tit
man stated to day that the meeting was
not held to consider the bills which caused
so much talk and there is no Likelihood
that any action will be taken on the
subject, other than to receipt the bills
as fast as they are paid. The superinten.
dent also stated that all the bills were
based on the registrations of the meters,
and so far as the company knew they were
correst. Mr.. Titman thinks there has
been considerable useless talk over the
matter. If anyone wants to 90 into the
gas or electric light business, he added, no
difficulty will be experienced in getting
stock Of the old companies. Ia that way
the people grumbling will be able to get
their gas for nothing and pocket large
dividends in addition. There was some
sarcasm in Mr.. Tttmrn's tone.

THEY WANT DAMAGES.

When he Advises Moderation.

When he Advises Moderation.
The Gilberton Borough Council, at a
special meeting held Tuesday night, de-
cided to resist any effort upon the part of
the Schuylkill Traction Company to
again lay Che disnutei piece of track at
the eastern end Of tuat borough, the tear
ing up Of which led to the serious riot of
August q, 1898 the story Of which Is now
part Of Schuylkill county history
The Schuylkill Traction Co. notified
the Gilberton authorities several days
ago of their intention to again lay the
track, and within the next ten days. In
response to this notice last nights meet
ing was called. It was attended by every
member of Council, and the leading citi.
zens of the town, and very bitter feeling
prevailed. The only basis of settlement
that they will consider is the payment of
heavy damages to the families of those
who were killed in the riot, and to the
several persons who were injured, dam.
ages that the Traction Company are not
inclined to pay.
Chas. n. Breckons, Esq, counsel for the
borough made a speech counseling
moderation, and setting forth the reasons
why the track should be laid again, and
by due process of law. He was jeered, and
there were threats of violence made.
A motion was made that the relaying
of the track be opposed by every legal
means, and carried unanimously, and
Burgess Hullihan was instructed to ap.
point a special police force of 30 men, OF
more if necessary, to assist in maintain
ing the rights of the borough,

Freedom to Do Right.

The c. Z. society Is voluntary or

Of its members Rather il should be
said that all the members retain the
freedom that they enjoyed before they
became Endeavorers. But Christian lib
erty, whether in {. L. society or our
Of it, j. simply the freedom Of doing
right. No Christian is free to do wrong.
In a sense we are at liberty to use our
money or our influence TO sustain an
undenominational enterprise or the
work Of another denomination, But
this is not Christian nor consistent
use Of our liberty. In becoming a mem
Der Of any denomination We pledge our
selves TO its support. Practically we
bind ourselves to work for Christ
through that instrumentalitv II our
profession has any significance, this Is
what it means. II it does not mean this,
it was an idle ceremony, a profane
trifing with sacred things. But we are
bound to this by our c. f. pledge. No
one can doubt that Christ would have
him sustain his own branch Of the
church If he thinks il unworthy If his
support, he has 40 right to be a member
of it. If it Is worthy Of his support,
there can lie 10 doubt Of his Obligation
TO render it.-National Presbyterian.

To a Far Country.

some time we shall stand on a strange dim
shore,
With futtering pulses aad trembling
feet,
And wait and listen as through the dusk
The muffled rhythm Of swift oars beat,
For over the sea SO lonely and wide,
Whose waves on the shores OF life beat
chill,
A ferryman crosses back and forth
And carries whomc'er he will.
And il he sail in the morning hours,
At noon or twilight or midn SAt dim
His shallop is always laden full,
For all must voyage with him.
The aged ones and the strong and fair,
The children pure as the angels be-
All, all must answer the boatnan's call
And sail on the unknown sea.
And so some time he viii hail Us where
Our path leads close to the Hateful shore.
We shall straightway turn from our dear
est ones
And journey with them no more.
But outward borne by the strong, swift
oars,
Ard lulled by the waves 'gainst the YES
sells side,
We shall sink to sleep and drift away
With the going out of tide. ,
