fuI trial Of her diving ability and also of

Borough Council.


The Borough Council met in special
meeting at Van Artsdalen Building OIL
Thursday evening. at O'Clock.
Present-Mayor Jennings, Messrs. Ma
gee, Dawson, Kienzle. Cruger, Lewis.
Paxton
The Committee on Borough Hall re-
ported through Chairman Magee that
they had considered the brick building of
E. w. Snedeker, corner of Vine street
and Railroad avenue, and it could be-
bought and put in order for 81 ,26O. They
did not formally recommend its pur-
chase. They also presented a plan of a
two-story Hall, lock up and fire engine
house, with living rooms over it for the
Borough Marshal, 24x40 feet, which they
believed could be built for 81 400. No
report was made on building site The
Ieommittee's report was received and
they were requested to report more fully
at the regular meeting on Monday.
The Committee on Assessors Map re-
ported that the map could made on the
block system and bound in the shape OF
record book at about 1875. Committee
continued and asked to report estimates
from some other parties.
The Mayor nominated Chas. II. Lane
for Lamplighter and Marshal. The
nomination was confirmed.
The Monmouth County Telephone
Company presented an ordinance giving
them franchise for telephone through
the Borough. Ordinance was referred
to the Ordinance Committee.
1t is to be hoped this committee will
take at least month to think over the
matter before giving away any more
valuable franchises. Since the irst tele-
phone company secured its franchise
there has been considerable disgust
among taxpayers. They say the Bor-
ough should have gotten something for
the concession aud Council should not
have allowed the company to place its
poles along the narrowest street in town.
In some places Railroad (alley) avenue is
not over Is feet wide and the poles extend
into this roadway Is inches. Some
Counctmen claim they understood the
poles were to be put on the Railroad
/ property.
Some think it is not too late to have
/ the poles put on the rear of the proper
4 ties, as alleys extend the whole length OF
| the town.
Before Council grants any more fran.
chises it should grant hearings to citizens
on thequestion. 1t would be wise to &C
slowly. People say they don't want d
\ forest of bare poles through the town.
Our people might not object to a tele.
phone company with cheaper rates and
phones, but they don't want the Mayor
oroRe or two Councilmen to go into
spasns of pretended indignation over q
$40 bill and give away So 900 franchise
for nothing. The people want less child's
| play and more common sense. and their
eyes are being opened to the fact that the
power of government has been committed
to SIX men and not to the one who pre-
tends to usurp the rig hts of all the others.

you weaken the army you imperil na- tIonal independence; if you maintain it's traditions and it's rights civil so- ciety takes fright on behalf of liberty. It is the torment of the present gen. eration to be thus pulled hither anl thither between these two opposite ideals. We are attached to liberty, but we are bound to maintain the se- curity of our fatherland; 1t Is the most sacred of our duuies''
 M. Dupuy thus plainly tells his fel- low country men that the French re- public is in danger of being swept away by military force. Moreover. he never would have made such an ad- mission unless he felt himself vir- tually powerless to avert that peril.
 The Spectator thus outlines what it conceives to be General Zurlinden's simple plan of action: If General Zurlinden, in case of the overthrow of the republic, by proclaiming its suc- cessor and declaring that any one who resists the decree until plebiscite shall have been taken shall be shot upon the street, who is to resist him? President Faure? He will be under ar rest or at the head of the new move menl. The assembly? It will be flying to the provinces, it's components but too rejoiced if they are not in danger of Cayenne. The people? The people will probably be delighted, for they are heartily sick of a republic without successes, and if they are refractory what can they do? General Zurlinden holds the forts, he commands a garrls son of 60,000 men and he can close every depot from wk:ch the people could obtain weapons or precision
 There are soms offsets to these gloomy forebodings, even assuming that the military leaders are contem- plating policy so desperate. learned from various sources while in Paris that, whatever may be the malignity of headquarters officers against Col. Picquart, he is really the most popular man with the rank and file of the army, and every fresh persecution adds to his popularity. It should be remem- bored that the army is France. and this sentiment of sympathy for the victim of interruptions men who, uphappily, are in the highest places of military authority, is one of the redeeming features of the situation. The real value of this sympathy in an emer- gency is difficult to estimate A refusal to obey orders on the part of troops as thoroughly disciplined as the French army is almost too much to expect If the fate of the French republic is to depend upon that test, I would not at- tempt to forecast the issue.

A CIVIL AND MILITARY STRUGGLE
If the Army Chooses to PreCipitate 1t, There Is No Authority in the Re- public Sufficiently Strong to
 Prevent 1t.

New York, Dec. 9.-The Sun prints the following London cablegram il- lustrating the shaky feeling now pre- vaIiling in France:
 A situation full of turmoil is often seen in 'sruer perspective from a little distance than in the midst of it's con fusion. l find, on returning to London after a stay of several weeks in Paris. that such is the case with the pending French crisis. Events and their mean ing assume a clearer relationship than when viewed from the Avenue de POpera. It cannot be said, however. that the situation is any less seriOus when examined from the better van age ground.
 If one were foolish enough to enter the dangerous field of prophecy he would be almost inclined to indorse the startling declaration in today's Spectator, which says boldly: Ut is our sincere belief that great event is immediately at hand in France
 The reason for this ominouS opinion is the fact that the French military authorities have openly challenged the civil and judicial powers, and the only logical outcome of this policy is a military coup d'etat, of which Pre- mier Dupuy, in scarcely yelled lan- guage, declares he stands in fear.
 It is impossible to avoid some suS- picion of M. Dupuy's good faith as well as his courage, for it must be borne in mind tha, he was premier when the Dreyfus infamy took place in 1894. It would be more charitable to ascribe the governments attempt to shift the duty of postponfng the Picquart court martial upon the court of cessation to cowardice.
 There can be no doubt, however, that both Premier Dupuy and NJ. de Frey cinet, the minister of war, have not dared to postpone the Picquart trial, because they had reason to know that such an order would be resisted by General Zurlinden, and crisis, which the present cabinet is afraid to face, would thus be precipitated.
 It is important to read carefully M Dupuy's words, as quoted in a leading journal on the day after Mondays in The premier of France admitted that the situation was most dangerous, though he said he still had confidence in the vitality of the coun- try, adding: We have been living for twenty-eight years upon a pious mis- understanding, and it is surprising tha9 it can have lasted so long. We have placed, side by side, an army and a de mocracy. Now. it is only too true that these two institutions have as theiI foundation conuradictory principles. If

Kansas City, Dec. 9.-Robert Gill; ham, general manager and chief engi- neer of the Kansas City. Pittsburg & Gulf railroad, has returned from New York, where he has been in conference with President A. E. Stilwell regarding the proposed purchase of the Chicago 6 Alton railroad. MT. Gillham refuses to discuss the deal, but it is known, however, that it is still pending and has not fallen through as has been ire quently reported. President Stilwell and his associates are said to be conf dent that they will gain control of the Chicago & Alton road within short time. The board of directors of the Alton has approved of the sale of the road, but there is q hitch over the se curities offered. It is said that the deal would have gone through some time ago if it had net been for the op- position of President Blackstone afld several of the Alton stockholders. Mr Stilwell will remain in New York until the purchase of the Alton is consum- mated or falls through.
