ported in favor purchasing 500 feet of

Lights Out.

Mayor Weaver called the attention
of the council to the fact that the
contract for lighting the city, with
the Mankato Gas and Electric Light
Co., expired Oct. 18th.
Aid. Peterson advocated the light
ing committee comforting with the
company as to the price it will charge
during the winter.
Aid. Zimmerman favored shutting
off all the lights until next spring, on
account of the fact that money has to
be borrowed at every meeting, and
that the people are advocating econo-
my on all sides. He moved that the
lights be shut off Monday.
Aid. Andrews said that he felt sure
that the people were willing to pay
for the lighting. He thought that to
shut off the lights without consulting
the people would be hasLy action and
would have to be rescinded in three
weeks. He favored continuing the
present contract until Dec. 1st.
Without lights, the city might have
to pay some damages for accidents.
Aid Lille thought'that as the people
had endorsed cheaper lights at three
elections, they would endorse the
council in shutting off the lights.
Aid. Peterson said that snow will
soon fall, oil is cheap, and he favored
shutting off the lights.
r. e. Brown stated in reply to a
question, that the company would
continue the lights at the present
rates until city plant is put in or
ordered to discontinue the lights.
The motion was carried.

The Omaha Ordinance.

Aid. Andrews offered the Omaha
right of way ordinance and asked that
it be referred to the ordinance COM
mittee to report at the meeting.
Aid. Zimmerman objected to such
rapid proceedings, saying that in a
matter of such Importance as the
granting of right of way ordinance
to a railroad there should be no haste
and it should take it's course.
AS the ordinance had been intro
duced out of it's order, Mayor Weaver
sustained the objection.
Aid. Andrews moved that the rules
be suspended and the ordinance re-
ceived. This was carried, Aids. Him
melman and Lille voting "no."

ordinance be referred to the commit
tee on ordinances, and this was car
ried without opposition.

mittee be asked to report during the
evening. The vote was tie, Aids.
Andrews, Adams and Bradley voting
"aye," and Aids. Peterson, Himmel-
man and Lille voting "no." Mayor

or of the motion.
A recess was taken to allow of the
committee considering the ordinance.

until the next meeting to do so, and
desired the plans and protiles. There
being no objection, the extension was
granted.

fered by Aid. Lille, was adopted.

The market committee reported
that a proposition had been received
from L. G. M. Fletcher, Offering free
of charge for one year, the land be-
tween Cherry and Poplar streets,

positions be accepted.

A large number of well known citi.
Zenswere present when the council was
called together in regular session Sat
urday niglt, by Mayor Weaver, and
all of the aldermen were present.
The reading of the minutes of the
last regular and special meetings took
up considerable time, as usual.
Mayor Weaver stated that Clark
street was the special order, and ow-
ing to the large amount of business on
baud, the speakers would have to be
limited to ten minutes each.
Aid. Peterson stated that investiga-
tiOn showed him that compromise
would be the best policy, as the injury
to the lower side is not as great now
as it would be to the upper side with
the deeper cut. He suggested that the
sidewalk on the lower side be placed
eighteen inches or two feet below the
center of the street.
Engineer Haynes said that the low
er walk could be placed eighteen iu-
ches below the middle of the street,
and the upper walk that much high
er, and the street would still look
we'll.
Aid. Andrews moved that the cut
be continued to the 22-foot line. This
received no second, and he moved
that it be left at the 14foot line.
This was carried, only Aid. Peterson
voting "no." The matter was thus
disposed of much more quickly than
had been anticipated. The sidewalks
will be placed as suggested.
A petition was received from Jno.
A. Willard, asking that the western
portion of "a" street, in Cummings
addition, be vacated for the Omaha
railway purposes. Similar petitions
for the vacation of the westerly ends
of 3d." CO.. and Minnesota streets
and the alleys through the four con-
tiguous blocks were received.
Aid. Andrews moved that the petit
tions be placed in the hands of the
city recorder, who shall give legal
notice by publication, and the date
of hearing to be Nov. 10th. This was
carried without opposition.
The communication from the board
of public works regarding B. d. Pays
claim for damages resulting from the
change of the grade of Hickory street
was received, referring the matter to

A MYSTERIOUS CASE !
Was Daniel Sweeney Killed by the
Freight Train ?
A BUCK MOUNTAIN PROBLEM
The Story of the Affair as Told by
Two Companions who Were
with the Unfortunate
Man.
A BUOK MOUNTAIN PROBLEM

Daniel Sweeney, a well known resident
of Buck Mountain and having a large
circle of friends in Mahanoy City and this
town, was killed on the Philadelphia 81
Reading railroad early yesterday morning
near the eastern outskirts of Mahanoy
City. The circumstances of the mans
death are shrouded by mystery, although
it appears quite certain that he was struck
by an'early morning freight train. Yester-
day was spent in investigating the case,
but nothing more than conjecture has re-
suited.
The body was found beside the track at
a place known as Germans siding by the
engineer of a shifting engine. The back
of the head was crushed in. Sweeney
was a fine looking and powerful man. He
was 81 years of age, six feet tall and
weighed 100 pounds. He had been en-
ployed at the Buck Mountain colliery for
about six years. On his person were
found a silver watch aud chain, while in
his trouser pocket was found an English
two-shilling piece and a nickle. His in
side coat pocket on being examined re-
vealed a membership card of Division No.
3, A. o. H., of Mahanoy City, and the
name Daniel Sweeney. A photograph of
a little child, taken in Philadelphia, and
two checks on Buck Mountain colliery
were also found in the pocket. Sweeney
was single and has a brother residing in
Germantown and a sister residing at
Mauch Chunk, They have claimed the
body.
The mystery surrounding the accident is
increased by statements that Sweeney was
not accustomed to drink and was always a
careful man in walking along the railroad.
He frequently warned his companions to
be careful in walking along the tracks.
The men who seem to have been the last
to see Sweeney alive are John Lowe and
Dennis Tolan, two residents of Buck
Mountain, and the later Sweeney's room
mate.
These two men have told their story to
the authorities. They say that they were
walking from Mahanoy City to Buck
Mountain, along the P. s. R. railroad, al
$50 Sunday night, when they met Sweeney
and upon his invitation they turned and
accompanied him to Mahanoy City, where
they remained until ten o'clock. At about
1920 they arrived at the German turnout
and Sweeney left his companions
and went into the bush. Lowe anC
and Tolan walked ~leisurely on anti they
reached the water tank, near Buck Noun
tain, where they sat down to wait fol
Sweeney. They waited until 1890 wher
Tolan said, 81 guess Dan has gone tC
sleep in the brush" Both started foi
home, being sleepy and tired themselves
On leaving the tank they We're passed by
freight, but had heard no sound of a per
son is distress. They went ON their way
home, having no more thought of theil
comrade until they received the news yes
terday morning.
