The opening to the sepulcher, acct

straight passage, barely permitting of
the entrance of single individual at a
time upon his hands and knees. Its sides
were Of red granite, beautifully pol
ished, which glittered dazzlingly in the
light of the explorers torch. This en-
trance ran straight back into the hill
for a distance of some 200 feet, when it
suddenly opened upon a large vaulted
room Of circular form, from which there
branched numerous galleries Of good
proportions, leading to other chambers
in which had been found many sar

The marriage of Mrs. Mary Lay and

brssy was sole,nniZed at the residence
of the bride on jefferson place. TIE
guests included the German minister

With today's marriage another Ger

of the handsomest and most popular
members OF the diplomatic circle, and
gentleman Of considerable fame as an
explorer of Africa, has persuaded Mrs
Lay. "a professional beauty and great
favorite here, to sbsre his home and

Mrs. Lay has been reigning belle
for several years, and has had many
offers of marriage during her widow
hood. In order to marry her Count
GOatzen was compelled to resign his
post at the German embassy. The
German government is particularly
ST. t in enforcing the rule that no
member OF it's diplomatic service shall
marry in the country where he Is on

OLYPHANT.

A number of councilmen do not seem
satisfied with the manner in which
the new sewer is being constructed,
and meeting was called on Monday
to discuss the matter. Some of the
members claimed that an inferior grade
OF cement was being used than the
specifications called for. and that the
excavation was not wide enough to
warrant first-Class work. One of the
contractors was present and emphat-
ically denied the charges and went
further to say that a better grade Of
cement was being used than agreed
upon. Some dissatisfaction was also
manifested in the way the inspector is
performing his duties, and a commit
tee was appointed to confer with Eng
ineer Dunning and the inspector. Mr..
Patten called the councils attention
to the fact that the Delaware and
Hudson intended to build a railroad
along Culm street, and said that the
borough take steps to prevent the COM
pany from encroaching on the street.

way company would put a stone crush

pair that street where needed.
