Upper Floors without Water.

A meeting of council was held Mon
day evening. The only important busi-
ness transacted was to demonstrate that
the architect of the Municipal building
had overlooked the very important mat
ter OF providing water connections for
the second and third floors of the build
ing AS this is one of the defects which
can yet be remedied, council ordered
that it be given immediate attention by
having the necessary pipes and water
stands placed in position. 1t was also
decided to have the electric light wiring
completed before the pasterers begin
work.
In u discussion on finance it was sng-
geSted that the light recently placed
at Fern and Main streets be taken off
The matter was referred to the light
committee.
An invitation from the Citizens Hose
Company to participate in the Fourth
of July demonstration was accepted.
Councilman Rudewick reported a
nuisance near his property in the Sec
p'' oHh
was ordered to investigate. The gen
eral sanitary condition of the town was
said to not be AS good as it could be.
The street committee reported its
inability to procure a profile of Adams
street sewer.
The condition of the hose used by
street employees, discussed at previous
meeting, was again taken up. From
statements made by Street Commission
er Davis it appears that the street en-
ployes, after drying the hose, placed it
improperly on one of the carts. The
street commissioner was ordered to have
his men correct their mistake next morn
ing.
During the meeting the opening of
streets in the northern portion of the
borough was the subject of considerable
discussion. The street committee re-
commended the acceptance of Fourth
street, which has been offered to the
borough by Councilman Schwabe. This,
however, did not meet the approval of
some of the mem bers, as it will still be
necessary to purchase land, to reach
Fourth street from Ridge street. Action
on the matter was deferred.

Upper Ends Queer Politics.
From the Wilkesbarre Record

From the Wilkesbarre Record.
The mandamus proceedings to compel
the supervisors of Pittston township to
approve the bond of Tax Collector
Whalen was argued before Judge Lynch
on Monday. The court took the papers.
The case is peculiar one aud shows
the weird politics of Pttston township.
At the last election Whalen and a man
named McNally were candidates for tax
collector and the vote was tie. Nc
Nally withdrew and Mr. Whalen was
appointed to the Office Two months
later it was represented to the court
that Whalen had failed to qualify by
furnishing bond and upon petition
Thomas j. Flanagan was appointed to
fill the vacancy.
On Monday an attorney stated that
Supervisor Clishman had approved of
Whalen's bond, but that Supervisor
keefe had refused to do so unless Whaen
paid him $500.
Another attorney on behalf of Flana-
gan, the second appointee, stated that
Supervisor keefe had approved of
Flanagan's bond, but that Supervisor
Clishman refused to do so unless he was
paid 5000.
1t looks like case of double-headed
holdup and the politicians" of Pittston
township were thoroughly ventilated
between the two attorneys. The argu-
ment will also dispose of a rule granted
on Whalen to show cause why his APP
pontment should not be revoked.

Colored Delegates at Phila
delphia.

1t is symptOmatic of the
change in Republican ideas, says
the Boston Post, that the first
serious difficulty in connection
with the Philadelphia Conyen
ton occurs with respect to the
standing Of the colored delegates
from the Southern States. 1t is
reported that two members of the
local Committee Of Reception
have resigned rather than per
form the duty assigned TO them
Of making things pleasant for
their colored brethren The hotels
in the City Of Republicanism and
Brotherly Love add to the dis
comfort Of the situation by their
discrimination against the Nc
Kinley men Of dusky complexion
from the South.
All this is lamentable. But it
is as nothing to the war OF races
in the National Committee.
There the indifference, not to call
it hostility, Of the managers to
the colored Republicans, who are
quarreling among themselves foI
seats in the convention and all
the emoluments that that implies,
is simply hearlrending. 1t is
even proposed to refuse seats to
all the col0red contestants from
the South; and as every State
sends two sets Of delegates to
fight for admission, this will
practically shut out the South
from representation.
The fact seems to be that this
time Hanna is sure of his major.
ity in the convention without the
aid of the South. Four years
ago it was different. Cousin Os
borne was sent down to Louis
lana to gather them in and every
colOred Republican counted.

CATHOLICS TO ENTEF
POLITICS.
It is Said All the Societies Of
the Church VIII be Brought
Into a Federation IN
der One Head.

NEW YORK. June 15.-With a
view to political action. a project
that has for its object the fedora
ton of all tue societies in the
United States composed of Ro
man Catholic laymen is being
discussed in Catholic circles
thrOug bout the country. Some
influential clergymen and laymen
are interested.
BY the plan all Catholic socie.
ties are TO become affiliated, al
though each separate organiza
ton is TO retain its individuality.
Tue idea is to have all the mem
bers OF tue societies subject to a
central direction, so that they
may all work together, whenever
necessary for any special purpose.
Because Of the possibility of
the projected federation getting
into politics the idea is opposed,
although the advocates Of the
plan deny tn at it would have any
thing to do directly with politics
1t is confidently predicted that
the great union will be formed
and that it will comprise many
Catholic societies of all national
tiles.

PATRIOTISM AND A KISS
Mrs. Mclean as the Recipient
Of an Unexpected Salute.

a dispatch to the New York

June 18th, says:

of that perilous ride, but the hill
