last Evenings Session Of the Council.
Notes From the Square.

The Town Council met last evening
and IL would seem moro for fault finding
than for business. Charles h. Calder,
and Edward q. Mathew son, the leaders
Of the Johnston enforcement of the Law
League, preferred charges against Chief
of Police Holbrook. Incomptency, me-
glect TO enforce the sunday laws, and
failure to close gambling places. as re-
quested by the members Of the league,
were the allegations made.
The case will come up for a hearing
Friday evening. and 1T has been hinted
that the move was made to make place
tor Deputy Sheriff John 4. Rabbitt, az
chief Of police.
Paris Mathewson objected to Pstrolman
Barnes bill for S25 and Charles Anderson
prevented the Globe Lighting Company
from securing its bill, as he thought the
services given by the company was not as
good as it should be.
The Council as a whole objected to al
lowing w. A. Patt $500 for his services as
census enumerator, for the number OF
school children returned by him was
smaller than. last year, and this would re-
duce the sum given the town by the state
TOR school purposes The Council thought
that Mr.. Patt should have worked IA lit
tie harder and increased the number at
least 100 more than last year. MIR. Patt
said that he had been to considerable ex-
pensa and unless he got 5000 would not
get anything out of the job. The COM
mittss sliced $50 from the bill.
At the request of . citizen the town
clerk was instructed to notify all com
panies having wires down In the town
TO have them cleared nt once.

shat he had on hand SCI is+. rs. and tina
the outstanding bills amounted to S2l, ga.
40. The amount on hand does not include
what can be raised by tho increase OF vail
uation nor the liquor license money.

A Progressive Newspaper.

The Times has larger circulation
by many thousands than any other
daily newspaper published in Pitts
burg. This is admitted even by it's
competitors. The reason for it are not
hard to find. The Times is a tireless
newsgatherer, it is edited with ex-
treme care, spares no expense to en-
tertain and inform it's readers. 1t
prints all the news in compact shape,
caring always more for quality than
quantity. 1t keeps its columns clean,
but at the same time bright. Nothing
that is Of human interest is overlook
ed by it. 1t aims to be reliable rather
than sensational. 1t believes in the gos-
pei of get there, but it gets there with
due erespect for facts. Test any depart
ment of it you choose-religious mar
kets, sporting, editorial, society, near
town neWs-and you'll find the Times
may be depended upon. $500 year,

JeaIousy's Promptings.

AS result of the shooting Of Miss
Mary Vannerman by her uncle-lover,
at Hornellsville, n. Y, the residents of
that town are greatly excited. Smith,
who is q well-known railroad man. has
been paying marked attention to his
neice, Miss Mary Vannerman, pretty
and talented young lass of IS years.
Being madly in love and also very
jealous of her, it enraged him to have
her receive attention from other men.
Especially was this so regarding the
young men of the place. He was con-
siderably older than the girl, and it
was probably the fear of being sup
planted by some one nearer her own
age that aroused his wrath. Smith
CHANGED to see his neice walking down
the street with young male acquaint-
ance, and this so enraged him that he
procured revolver and shot her. He
then turned the gun on himself and
sent a bullet crashing through his
neck.
The girl is probably fatally injured,
and the Coroner has decided to take
her ante-mortem statement.
Smith is not seriously hurt. He
states that he and his neice were en-
gagged to be married, and he admits
that jealousy prompted him to commit
the deed Daniel Smith, named above,
is brother of Thos. Smith, of this
place who was called to Hornellsville
last Monday, by a telegram informing
him of the shooting

Pleasant Surprise.

Last Friday evening ''stago sur
prise was given our friend Fred A
Hill, at his pleasant home on Sixth
street. His good wife and daughter
carefully planned, with the aid of
friends, to keep Mr.. Hill "down town"
during the major portion of the after
noon and when the usual hour to re-
turn home came around Henry Auchu
had to be met at the depot upon the
arrival of Niagara and brought home
to supper. Those were the orders is
sued and Fred obeyed. OF course
when he arrived home he was surprised
to see large number of gentlemen
friends comfortably fixed in his parlor
and then Fred ''saw what it all meant"
After an exchange of pleasantries
and Fred given time to 'see where he
was at" the ladies who had been
diligently at work to make the And
anniversary of theirl loved one pleasant,
invited the guests to the dining room
where-oh, dear was spread one of
the most inviting scenes ye scribe
seldom sees, and that's saying consid-
cradle for there is no one unless it be
our sedate friend Blum, who appre-
ciates and knows good dinner better
than ye editor. Seated at the hand
somely decorated table were Messrs.
F. A. Hill, Henry Auchu, Geo. J. La
Bar, B. w. Green, A. G. Blum, G. F.
Balcom, Thos. Gallagher, M. P. Whit
ing, /. X. Hockey, J. d. Logan, Josiah
Howard, III. III. Mullin, Chas. Seger
and III. S. Lloyd. The elegant dinner,
while a compliment to the ability of
Mrs. H. and daughter, was certainly
highly enjoyed by the guests of the
evening. After the inner man had
been bountifully supplied the guests
repaired to the parlor and by the aid
of good cigars succeeded in regaining
their former composure. After time,
Mr.. 3 w. Green, ''in few brief re-
Marks" addressed Mr. Hill on behalf
of his friends assembled and presented
him, with the well wishes of those
present, a beautiful painting. In ac-
cepting, Mr.. Hill thanked his friends
for their kindness to himself and
family. At a seasonable hour all de-
parted for their homes to dream of
