THE COUNCIL.
Considers the fire Company and
Street Paving.

Old Officers and members are affirmed
for the ensuing year Street Paving
may be let to the next bidder above
Berry He Is willing to take II mt his
original bid Saving in price OF brick
and in matter of ballast will bring ii
lower.
Council held its regular meeting
on Monday night and two items OF
general interest were taken up. One
of these was in relation to the fire
company and the other was IN refer
ence to street paving.
The fire company at recent
meeting had elected officers and or
gained for the coming year and
they submitted the list of officers
and members to the>council for their
approval according to the ordinance.
The old officers had been reelected
and the old members continued. The
council approved the election and
the officers are again installed for
the ensuing year.
Considerable discussion was had
over street paving and it was deeids
ed to start the work as soon as the
weather will permit and have it
pushed with all speed possible. The
members feel that they have lost
time enough from varions causes al
ready and they are determined that
no mistakes OF this kind shall be
made this summer
They decided not to advertise for
more bids but to take those they re-
ceived last summer and give the
contract on the figures received then.
This would give the job to Sweeney
and Houston, of Kittanning, Pa A
letter to the firm has elected the in
formation that they will take it at
the figures given in the bid.
This is somewhat higher than the
figures of Berry but when it is con.
sidered that they will take the old
ballast and pay for it and the fur
Their fact that there will be
substantial saving in the price of the
brick it will be seen that The new
paving will cost but little more If
any than that already down.
Council will decide at the next
meeting whether or not it shall give
the contract to these parties and in
case they do the work need not be
very long delayed and brick may be
gin going down soon. We sincerely
hope that no more delays or mistakes
may occur and that by next fall we
will be out of the mud to some extent
at least.

President after Reed.

NEW YORK, March, IA Wash
ington special to the New York Jour-
nal says that President Mckinley has
determined to declare war upon Speak
er Reed. The president, the Journal
says has caused it to be suggested to
Representative James Sherman, of
New York, that if he would decline
the appointment recently offered him
as member of the board of general
appraisers, and would make the race
for the speakershlp against Reed, he
could be assured of the hearty support
of the administration. The cause is
said to be Mr.. Reeds constant hostil-
ity to the president personally, to his
whole administration and to its policy.

COMMANDER BROWN.
The Washington Times Says Some
Graceful Things About Him.
Washington Times.

The American Navy is full OF heroes
and brave men. 1t has been so since
its inception, but they do not all re-
ceive the reward for their courage and
self-sacritice that they deserve. This
Is, perhaps, unavoidable, but where an
opportunity is presented to do justice
To brave officer it would seem That
it ought not TO be ignored.
Lieutenant Commander r. nj. G.
Brown, retired, furnishes case in
point. He entered the navy during
the Civil War; and saw over twenty.
five years of active service. There is
a bill pending before Congress TO re-
tire Mr.. Brown with the rank OF a
commander. In the report from the
committee on Naval Affairs recon-
mending the passage of Commander
Browns bill, the following statement
is made.
The service rendered by Lieutenant
Commander r. M. G. Brown during
the hurricane in the harbor OF Apia,
Samoa, March, 1889, demands recogni-
ton. To his GOODNESS and skill in
time of supreme danger many hun.
dreds Of American seamen owe their
lives.
This is most fully acknowledged by
Capt. N. IL. Farquhar, Of the u. S. S.
Trenton, on which vessel Lieutenant
Commander Brown was navigating
officer. Lieutenant r.. M. G.. Brown,
the navigator he reported, twas by
my side the whole time, and to his
excellent Judgment, one time, at
least, the ship was cleared of a reef.
Had we struck it | fear few of the
$50 people on board of the Trenton
would be alive to-day. by his order
putting the $50 seamen in the rigging,
there to act as a living sail, when
canvass would not have withstood the
hurricane an instant. Lieutenant
Brown was enabled to steer the Tren-
ton clear Of a reef and to place her in
position which was one OF compare
tive safety for her crew. This act
has already been fittingly recognized
by the State OF West Virginia, which
has presented a suitably inscribed
sword to Lieutenant Commander
Brown, and should also be acknowl-
edged by the Government which he
SO signally served.
Commander Brown was one OF the
first of the retired naval officers to
tender his services to the Government
when war was declared against Spain
a year ago. He got up off sick bed
to do so, and bulldozed the medical
men of the navy into passing him.
He served for over six months as as
sistant commandment at the Norfolk
navy yard, and the manner in which
he performed his duties is matter of
record

Who cares whether that Jonah's

Who cares if the court house is in

1t seems the entire population has
gone crazy on the ward" question
from Dick Ward down to the ward
of the smallest man in town.
The newspapers are the worst and
everybody else next. The leading cit
izen and the man who sells his vote

with each other for the prize for using
the term "wardn most in ordinary

The land slide which delayed trains
all day on Monday and Tuesday was
not at Little Falls as at first reported
here on the street but it was at Cataw-

down on the track knocking it into a

deal of earth and other stones came
tumbling down. As fast as pieces of
the big stone We're removed the earth
behind came tumbling down on the

thought that he would have 1t all re-
moved on Tuesday afternoon some

THIS fight, the article asserts, has
consumed about two years. IL has
been wsged on many batiledeIds.
There were skirmishes in Chicago,
lailad lphia, aud in Washington,
and great cOUflcts were fought At
Alcauy, in Boston. and In Wall
Street. lti is believed now that the
end Is come.
Several vesrs ago William R0cke'
feller and II H. Rogers. representing
themselves as we'll as other interests
in tue Standard OIL Company, con
ceived the ides of gaining control Of
all the gas companies in the E4ste.n
ard Middle Atlantic States
The first fight began in Boston,
where controlling interest in the
various gas plants in that city was
acquired without much diff ulty.
The only competitor of Importance at
that time WAS the New England Gas
aud Coke Company, which owns a
large amount of the security in the
Brookllne Gas Light Company, the
Dorchester Gas Light Company, the
Boston United Gas Light Company.
aud several other organizations IN
the suburbs Of Boston. Here for the
first time he great Standard OIL Com
psry came to know Anthony y
Brady
Mr. Brady was trustee in the
New England Gas and Coke Com
pany. in which were allied with him
William l. Elkins. William c. Whit
uey, as well as Henry NJ. Whitney,
who had been associated for years in
various other fields of business. The
interest of these two companies were
naturally in conflict, but at that time
the STANDARD OIL looked upon Mr.
B,sdy and bis crowd as pigmies.
Then the contest began, the ad.
versaries from the start being he
Standard OIL Company aud the Ma.
tional City and Hanover Banks on
one side and Brady's crowd on the
other.
The Standard Ol Company, in
order to force these men to throw
over the New Amsterdam Gas Com.
pany, attacked the stocks Of all the
corporations in which they were in
terested. depressing their value by
over $3.50 GOO, 900.
Many circumstances elaborated 10

statement to show that the various
properties in sympathy with the

jects of attacks from the Rockefeller
concern, the results of which would
have precipitated general desertion

Cause Of the Recent Panic.

The New York World of last Thurs
day publishes long statement in
which the assertion is made that John
D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil
Company, in order TO crush Anthony
N. Brady. representing gas interests
opposed to Standard OIL control, were
largely responsible for the recent
great panic in Wall Street. The
"World" also says the standard Oil
concern would have been responsible
for even greater disaster il the United
States Government had not stepped
in and released its grip from the mar
ket. The means used in the tffort OF
the Standard Oil Company are Civ \
as follows:
The Platt machine at Albany;
ruinous gas-rate war; bear crusade
against all Brady stocks; enlistment
of James r. Keene as bear leader;
bold manipulation of the money msr-
ket: use Of National City and Han
over Banks to effect an artificial
money stringency; juggling Of foreign
exchange, through Standard OIL
financial agencies; com binstion of
the strongest Cf these forces. so d.
rected as to cause one Of the worst
pauics in Wall Streets history, fore
ing the United States Treasurer to
take quick action in order to avert
widespread business disaster, and q
