SPECIAL SESSION
OF COUNCIL
Held Monday Evening to Determine al
Important Matter.

Council met in special session Monday
evening for the purpose of deciding on a
question relative to the laying of water
pipes beyond the Borough limits into
Mahoning township, but before the
meeting was adjourned considerable
general business was transacted.
The members present were: Kemmer,
Goldsmith, Jones, Fetterman, Chestnut,
Amesbury, Vastine, Deutsch and Brandt.
Some time since the Water Superin-
tendent was authorized by the Board of
Water Commissioners to lay pipes be-
yond the Borough limits for the conven-
fence of three prospective water renters
in Mahoning township.
Superintendent Keefer proceeded with
the work as per his instructions but
when the Township line was reached the
work was halted by the Supervisor OF
Mahoning who demanded that the
Borough give an indemnifying bond
sufficiently large enough to cover any
case of accident that might result from
having the roadway torn up.
When Mr.. keefer stated the facts be-
fore Council some of the members SEEM
ed inclined to doubt the advisability of
extending the pipes beyond the Borough
limits and, on the motion of Mr.. Gold
smith, it was decided not to continue
with the work unless the parties desir-
ing the water should bear the expense.
The indemnifying bond question was
settled by the fat refusal of Council to
countenance the idea.
At this point the Especial" feature OF
the session seemed to be lost sight of
and Mr.. Vastine requested that some
action be taken regarding the request of
Superintendent Richards, of the City
Flour Mills, for permission to lay rail
road switch along North Mill street from
the Reading tracks to the front of the
mill.
Mr.. Richards claimed that the road

explanation of his intentions was not
satisfactory and he was asked to visit the
spot with the Streets and Bridges Com
mittee and there point out just what he
desired to do.
This matter being settled Mr. Chestnut
desired to know what had been done to-
ward securing new boilers for the Water
Works Annex and in response to his
question Mr.. Vastine stated that dur
ing last week the Commissioners had
opened bids and had placed an order
for Babcock Tubular boiler.
Mr.. Vastine also stated that there had
been some harsh things said about the
secrecy surrounding this purchase but
Council seemed to think that the Com
missioners had kept within their au-
thority and their action was endorsed.
About this time one of the members
remembered that it was special meet
ing and the motion to adjourn met with
no dissenting voices.

AN IMPORTANT
ARREST, YESTERDAY

Ben Severcool, young resident OF
Limestone township, this county, was
locked up in Fort Maiers yesterday
morning to await trial on the charge OF
purloining number of horse blankets
and sets of harness.
During last July the residents of
Limestone were terrorized by an organ
ized gang of young fellows who wand
cred through the county at night visit
ing barns and stealing everything that
happened to come within their reach.
Horse blankets in large numbers were
stolen and numerous sets of harness dis
appeared only to turn up again III some
fence corner burned to a crisp. Farm
indictments also were stolen but not in
such numbers.
After a time clue was discovered
which led the authorities to believe that
a trio of youths, answering to the names
of Shipe, Robbins and SayercoOl, were
the perpetrators of the theft5 and war
rants were issued for their arrest.
Shipe and Robbins were apprehended
but Savercool was too slick for the oflic-
ers and skipped away before they could
lay hold of him.
Since that time nothing was heard of
him until last week when he was locat-
ed at Harrisburg. On Tuesday night he
was arrested in that city and taken to
Limestone and arraigned before Squire
J. u. Ellis who committed him to Jail in
default of $500 bail.
This arrest is considered most import
ant as Savercool is thought to have
been the ring leader Of the gang and his
capture was greatly desired.
Robbins and Shipe were up for trial at
the last term of court They pleaded
guilty but sentence was suspended. 1t
will likely 90 harder than that with
/ SavercoOl.

Thief Struck a Good Thing.

On both Wednesday and Thursday
evenings ofast week refrigerator at the
home of Edward Czechowicz, West Ma
honing street, was relieved of its con-
tents.
The refrigerator occupied a place on
the back porch and was easy Of access so
after securing a good meal on Wednes-
day night the thief returned again on
Thursday and appropriated a number of
bottles of soda and sarsaparIIa with
which to wash down his repast of the
previous evening. There is now a lock
on the refrigerator door.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
LAST NIGHT
Two Horses Burned to Death-A Quantity
of Hay And Grain Consumed.

A fire broke out in the stone barn own.
ed by Charles P. Hancock, in the rear ol
his Market street residence, last evening
about seven o'clock and before it was
gotten under control about $1,000 worth
Of property was destroyed.
The barn was leased by the Welliver
Hardware Company who suffer the loss
of two good horses, several sets of har-
ness and winters supply of hay and
grain. Their wagons and buggies were
saved, but il was impossible to reach
the horses as the flames had gotten too
good a start and the poor dumb animals
were burned to death.
The flames were first discovered by
George Hendricks, who lives on Factory
street short distance from the barn. To
all appearances the fire started near the
stalls as they were completely surround
ed by the flames when Mr.. Hendricks
first arrived on the scene. An alarm was
sent in which was quickly responded to
by the different hose companies and
they soon had the fire under control.
No theory is advanced as to the origin
of the fire, though many seem to think
that it was caused by one of the horses
striking his hoof on match.
While the Goodwill Hose Company
were still working at the Hancock barn
some miscreant reported that the Fourth
ward school house was on fire. With
but one section OF hose on the reel they
started for the school house only to find
that it was false alarm. 1t was quite
a run to the Fourth ward and there are
several hard hills to climb. Naturally
the Goodwill boys feel somewhat sore.

COMMITTED
FOR A HEARING

Yesterday afternoon James Burns, a
resident of Sidler's Hill, was arrested by
Constable Young and brought before
Squire Bare for a hearing on the charge
of assaulting Frank Myers, the prosecut-
or being Mrs. Alice Miller, daughter of
Myers
AS cleaned from the information sworn
to by Mrs. Miller, the two men had an
alteration in front of her home on
North Mill street which ended, as stated
by her, by Burns striking Myers on the
head with a black jack or billy, severe
injuries resulting.
When Burns was brought to the office,
the Squire decided that he was too in
toxicated to be given hearing and he
was committed to Jail to appear again
this morning at o'clock.
