Armitts New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal Company was refused the contract
for supplying Pittsburgh's water works
at Brilliant with coal for the coming
year. The city councils this afternoon
received a negative recommendation
from the public works committee. and
after a spirited debate It was decided to
re-advertise for bids for the water works
coal contract. During the debate II was
said by one councilman that the reason
OF the negative action OF the committee
was on account OF the dispute between
the coal company and its employees and
that Il was feared that the company
might not be able to fulill its contract.
Others thought councils should ignore
this and award the contract to the De
Armttts, as they are the lowest bidders.
Before council met, President M. NJ.
Garland, OF the Amalgamated Assocla-
ton, appeared before the public works
committee and asked 1t not to approve
the coal contract.

Slmla, Dec. 15.-Further details from
the frontier, regarding the march of
Gen. Westmacott's brigade down the
Bara valley show it to have been &C.
companied by the most desperate fight
ing since Dargai ridge. The enemy.
for the whole time in the whole cam

poured in constant Lee Metford and
Martini-Henri rifle fire in reply to
which the British troops exhausted
their pouches of ammunition, which had
to be replenished just before night
fall.
While the rear guard was worn out
by constant attacks and in a difficult
position, the enemy made the coup Of
the campaign by an open rush upon It.
The tried soldiers stood firm and a
whitening Independent fire swept the
advancing tribesmen, who charged
almost to the bayOnet's point. The
Affldis Wavered and then retreated to
cover, but continued harrassing fusil-
AIDE until after dark
The action recommended with the
rising of the moon. In spite Of the
vigilance of the scouts, some of the
enemy got between the fianking bodies
and the main command and kept up an
unceasing fire, during which the jana
dar. who was leading Gen. Westma-
colts horse, was killed.
The British trops behaved splendidly
and inflicted the most severe punish
ment on the enemy which the latter
has yet sustained, 400 men falling.
Gen. Lockhart has decided to send
column of troops to reopen the Khy-
Der pass. marching up from Jamrud.
Then, from Ali Musjid the column will
descend into the Bazaar valley and
punish the tribesmen in that district.
