THREE MORE MAN HOLES.
COUNCllMEN DECIDE TO IMPROVE
SOME OF THE STREETS.

Two Electric Lights VIII BE Changed and
Some to BE Dispensed With Entirely.
Sewer on Birkbeck Street to BE Built.
! Many Other Matters Considered.
The members of the council met on
Tuesday evening, with all present ex-
cept Councilman Rutter. The meeting
was called for the purpose of formu-
latlng the report of the committee which
viewed the borough on the 18th ult. for
Tor the purpose of taking action upon
several claims made by citizens for extra
light, water plugs and grading of streets
Iwenty-three items were gone over, and
the committees report will be presented
10 council at its next meeting for ap-
proval.
The committee left the matter of
grading and widening the streets in the
recently annexed territory over until
lhe streets are accepted by the borough,
as nearly all these streets will have to
be- graded. They will recommend the
building of the piece of sewer through
the Public Park, II distance of 572 feet.

more man-holes, as follows: Corner of
hlrkbeck and Front streets ncar silk
milD, corner Of Centre and Carbon and
corner of South and Washington streets.
Two electric lights are recommended
to be removed to more suitable loca-
lions, as follows: One from centre of
burton street to intersection of Burton
and Laurel streets; one from centre of
Johnson street to intersection of John
son and Birkbeck streets Two lights
are recommended to be dispensed with,
one at the intersection of Front and
Ridge streets and the other at Chestnut
aud Ridge streets.
A fire plug will be recommended to be
placed at the corner of Front and
Chestnut streets (Alvintown).
A number of suggestions were offered
as TO the grading of streets and laying
of crossings, but were left over until
council decides to employ a surveyor and
have all such work done at the same
time; then to enforce the laying of side
walks and cutters, as well us the extern
ion of short line of sewer along Car
bon street west to Ridge.
A discussion took place as to whether
IL would not be more advisable to have
incandesent lamps erected in some parts
OF the borough instead of arc lights, but
no conclusion was reached.
The regular monthly meeting will be
held next Tuesday evening.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.-O, how sweet and
mild and amiable the critics have been
to me! They have stood up and taken
their medicine like little men. started
out, however, to paint true picture of
the men who belle the town in the IIa-
zIeton papers. and the picture is not yet
finished, nor my duty ended.
In addition to what have said, may
add that the correspondents to whom |
refer have a faculty of wearing out a
Jest to the last shred and mcanest grain.
Their imagination instnctively fastens
on some mark, sign or expression of an
individual and never let it go, for fear
Of not meeting with any other means to
express him or ridicnle him by. Some
of the correspondents never stop short
Of the lowest and most offensive point of
meanncss in satirical description of the
efforts Of our council and school board.
They may have keen sense of what is
True and false, but they have not Il keen
sense of the agreeable and disagreeable.
70 have a conscience of not letting any
thing escape the reader that he knows
Is not good recommendation for a
newspaper correspondent. If to be wise
were to be obstinate our friends may lay
signal claim to this title.
70 be doggedly bent upon fatigung
the public with fayorite idea is an
other of the common failings of the men
who air themselves in the Hazleton
papers. Indeed, many Of their articles
are full of sharp. biting sentences against
the town of which they claim to be fond.
And as for many other of the writings
referred to, we may say, that even
though we should hold them to be true,
YET it is SANDER to set them down in
print. What sensible mon might in,
troduco as an accident or a mere passing
.as some of the correspondents would
set about building whole play upon.
Most of what we read from Freeland
the Hazleton papers is dreary, OBJ
solete and hopeless, aud never a word to
encourage the golden dreams or hopeful
expectations of our growing town. We
arc often confronted with the refuse and
rubbish and not mention of the essence,
the true elirir cits.
The men who do these writings neither
copy our nature nor our life; neither
paint the matter nor represent the operas
tions OF our intellect. 1t would be'vio-
ence done to mans conscience to dis
cover the object of much of what is
written about Freeland, its industries
and its governments. Much of the mys-
teal writings we see in the Hazleton
papers read like riddles or an allegory
Their chief aim is to make you wonder
at the writer, not to interest you in the
subject; and by an inceSsant craving
after admiration, they have lost what

DRIFTON ITEMS.

The residents of No. had bushels of
fun last night. Shortly after supper a
lIazleton Hebrew pcddler called at the
home of Paul Brusack, who was married
u week ago, and asked if he wanted to
buy anything. Paul replied that he
would buy horse, and the peddler i'm
mediately offered his for cents. The
nickel was rendered and accepted, but
when Paul went outside to examine his
purchase the Hebrew protested and
claimed the sale was only joke. Bru-
sack failed to see the joke and with
several of his countrymen, who were
witnesses of the transaction, demanded
the animal. Failing to obtain it peace
fully, Paul invoked the aid of the law
by procuring Il warrant from Squire
ShovIn, of Freeand. Tho peddler, how
ever, in the meantime had become
alarmed at the prospect of facing Free
land justice, and lifting his packs from
the wagon carried them to the trolley
station and fled homeward on the first
car. Brusack took possession of the
on the street. During the rumpus ex-
citement ran high. Those who know
claim Brusack has good claim to the
horSe-at least he has possession and
there are witnesses who saw him pay
his nickel.
Some of our bloods went to Freeland
on Tuesday night and became cntangled
in brawl about midnight. They
entered Hungarian saloon, where IL
christening celebration was in progress,
and distributed cowhage among the
guests, When the Hungarans found
what was troubling. them they made
things lively for the jolers, and the
marks of the battle are quite visible on
the countcnances of the latter.
William Gillespie, one of our famous
sportsmen, captured a large grounding
recently. On Tuesday evening he took
it to Freeland, where it was introduced
to "Fitz,' noted bulldog. The two
did not take kindly to one another's per-
sonal appearance, and after battle
royal the groundcr was killed. Bill
mourns the loss of his pet.
A large number OF our base ball lovers
are going to Mauch Chunk ON Saturday
to witness the game between Freeland

Miss Annie O'Donnel, formerly of
town, but now resident of Allentown,
called on friends the forepart of the
week.
This town will be well represented at

they might have gained with less ex-
travagance and affectaton.
Is it wonderful then that Freeland
people speak feelingly of the miSapplica-
tion of the genius of these correspon-
dents ? The complaint so often made,
and here repeated, is not the want of
power in these men, but the waste of it;
not the absence of genius in some of
them, but the abuse of it. A writer can
be sportiye in irony, if he will, yet he
should never trespass on modesty.
Mr.. Editor, there is no valid excuse
for the silly nonsense we see so much
INDUCED in from Frecland. There are
other and more beneficial lines for news
paper correspondents to follow. viii
they do it? The town is heart-sick of
the pessimists and scolds; weary Of the
incessant pen-pictures of gloom and
despair, and anxious for rest and re-
turn to neighborly confidence and trust.
