Mirth, music and gathering of young
folks constituted an evening of rare smuse-
ment in the parlors of the residence of j. J..
Franey, corner of Main and Oak streets, last
evening. The gathering numbered about
fifty guests, among them being many
strangers who are spending their vacation
among acquaintance in this vicinity. Besides
the well rendered and much appreciated
selections of the Schley orchestra, many
vocal and instrumental selections were given.
The classic solo entitled Eternity" by Miss
Mollie OHaIa won the appreciation of the
auditors. Miss Eleanore Felmon, of Boston,

ing project. but when the Council assembled

pany, for permission to make changes in the
company's liue
The Councilmen in attendance were
Messrs. McGuire. Coakley, Boebm. Neis-
wenter, James, Stnughn, Bell Harkins,
Hand and Tracey.
Mr.. Coakley, Of the street committee. re-
ported that in accordance with the resolu.
tiOn adopted at the last meeting Of Council,
he and Mr.. Harkius called upon Mr.. Ash and
the latter stated that he would Ike 10
make arrangements with the borough
to get permission to take out the
old stringers and rails Of the line
on Coal and Main streets aud substitute sils
and a heavier T rial If this permission
should be granted, Mr.. Ash was reported as
saying there would be no trouble in bring
ing about an amicable settlement on other
matters the borough proposed, although he
would be obliged to lay the matter before
the Board Of Directors before giving definite
answer.
Considerable discussion followed during
which it was stated that the borough had no
power to prevent the company from making
repairs and improvements to its line, and
finally it was decided that the secretary be
instructed to communicate with the Schuyl-
kill Traction Company and inform them that
Council granted permission to remove the
present rails and stringers and replace them
with sills and heavier rails with shoes.
Mr.. Tracey moved that the secretary be in
structed to write TO Mr. Ash and state that
the borough will pave two squares on East
Centre street and desires the Lakeside Rail
way company to give assurance in writing
that it will pay its pro rata share. If it fails
to do SO, the borough will tear out its tracks
and not allow them to be replaced until the
condition is complied with.
Mr.. James raised point of order that the
motion was improper, inasmuch as there is
an ordinance providing that, should the
company fail to pave its road when required
to do so, the borough can do the work and
collect the cost, which is to be proceedings
in court. The point Of order was sustained
by President Mcclure

GOV. TANNER GOT AWAY.
Game Wardens Were After HIM for Kill
Ing Buck.

A special says: Gov. Tanner
of Illinois is safely out of the state,
despite efforts on the part of the
game wardens to detain him for
violation of the game law in kill
ing out of season one four pronged
buck. Not satisfied with the pelt
of a mountain lion for his valor,
the executive of Illinois slew a
young deer, and the incident prom
ises to make trouble between Colo
RADIO and Illinois.
The open season begins Aug. 10,
and one caught with deer in his
possession before that time may be
committed to Jail for a period of
from ten days to six months, or be
made to pay a fine of from $40 to
$500, or both.
There was no concealment in
Gov. Tanners offense, and the
news was promptly wired to the
chief game warden at Denver with
a request for instructions. The
local wardens did not care to arrest
a visiting governor, and therefore
took no action in the premises.
1t is said that Gov. Tanner will
pass through Colorado on his re-
turn from California, for which
state he last night boarded a train
at Glenwood Springs, and that on
crossing the Utah line coming east
he will be served with a summons
to appear before Justice Hedden at
