Boston. Nov. 3.-John Reed, king of
the green goods fraternity,' is still at
liberty. and seems likely to remain so.
1t seems just as easy for Mr. Reed to
keep out of the way as II was for him to
hypnotize co stiding farmers. The state
offers $500 for his capture, but Mr.. Reed
can probably afford to pay more than
that to remain at liberty.

after the elections the American com

Washington. Nov. 3.-The navy de-

of modifying the plans for the four new
harbor-defense monitors by increasing
their size from 200 tons to 1000 tons en-
abing them to carry four 12-inch guns
i'm two turrets instead of only two guns
in one turret. AS the offensive power
of the monitors can be doubled at an
increase of cost that still places the
figure within the appropriation, the
change probably will be made.

Washington, Nov. lit is definitely
announced by the civil service commits
sion that the evidence taken in the recent
investigation of charges against the
federal officials at Richmond shows that
while there was much to be deplored in

states that the participation of officials
in the political gatherings was viola ton
of the Cleveland order regarding per

The Councilmen Find Themselves Con-

special meeting of the Borough Council
was held last night for the purpose of taking
action on the financial affairs of the borough
and it was attended by Messrs Mcclure,
Shoemaker, Lally, Hand, Brennan, Englert,
Harkins, Murphy, James Bell, Neiswenter
and NIagargle
| President McGuirc stated that at the last
regular meeting it was decided to withhold
payment Of coal, coal hauling and freight
bills until the finance committee could make
arrangements to meet them.
| Mr. Hand, Of the finance committee, stated
| that it would take about $l,4OO to pay the
bills laid over. TO help meet this Tax Col
| l,ctor Burke promised to pay $1,000 on We'd
| day Tax Collector Scanlan said he had
nothing TO turn over. Some money was
promised him by deinquents, but it had not
come in He promised to make payment
rcxt Friday.
President McGuire then read from mem-
oranda, showing that Council will need be-
fore the expiration Of the present fiscal year
SIS. $50 to meet obligations aside from the
running expenses, and Council must get
money from some source. He didn't think
it just that people of the town should with
hold So, 600. "a, 600 and as high as $4,000 of
the borough's money.
Mr.. James moved that the Borough Solicitor
be instructed to issue an execution for the
balance due on Mr.. Scanlans 1895 duplicate.
Some of the members thought this action
would he unduly hasty, in that it would not
give the bondsmen fair chance to prepare
for the event such procedure would bring
about.
Mr.. james said that on the point being
raised he was willing to modify his motion so
as to provide that if Mr. Scanlan does not
settle tho 1895 duplicate by Oct. 18th, next
the Solicitor proceed with the execution.
Mr.. James added that it was talk about the
borough that some parties owe the borough
as high as $4,000 that they have not paid
taxes in four years and yet the borough
must pay six per cent. to get money for
running expenses.
Finally Mr. James accepted in his motion
a provision that, previous to the Solicitors
action, the finance committee extend an in
vitation to Tax Collector Scanlan and his
bondsmen to attend meeting of Council to
be held on the Goth inst, and in that shape
the motion was carried.
In answer to inquiries by members Mr.
Hand stated that the balance due on the
1895 duplicate is SIS, AIS % and for the two
years 1895 and 1886 the aggregate balance
is $50, 456 o. Mr.. James said that subsequent
payments and allowances would reduce the
amount few hundred dollars
