 Changing Telephone Wires.
 Messrs Sherwood and Gardner of the Southern N. E. Telephone Co. have commenced work in the borough with a big gang of men on the largest tel ephone job ever done in this section. It will take even the large number of time, and it will cost the company several thousand dollars. At present all through the exchange the high tension electric light wires are car ried on the same pole with the tele- phone wires and cable. The heavy current wires are on the cross arms below the telephone wires. In case of telephone trouble nothing can be done with the electric wires in operation. The proposition of the telephone com- pany is to change, throughout the en- tire local system, the position of the many electric and telephone wires so that the electricity shall be carried at the top of the pole.

Crowd Expected at Special Meeting.

In contrast to the short town meet ing of last week, which laid a six mill tax in five minutes without any fire works, it is expected that Thursday nights special city meeting will be one of considerable action because of the opponents and adherents of per manent paving.
 The meeting was called by Mayor Dunn at the request of a considerable number of taxpayers to revoke the action taken some weeks ago, when the city voted five thousand dollars for permanent paving. Already the argu- ments pro and con are being bandied about, and the orators are getting in shape for tomorrow's battle. Senti- rnent seems about evenly divided at present.

TOY IMPORTERS HOPEFUL
England VIII Let Shiplond of Play
things Come Through.

NEW YORK. August 2l.-American
importers of German toys regarded tho
prospect Of obtaining them from Ger
many is more hopeful to-day, owing to
a recent announcement from London
that a shipment of 100000 worth
would be allowed to come through
from Rotterdam. The only difficulty.
the importers said. had been tho Brit
fsh order in council, which restricted
trade between Germany and the
United States.
American buyers who have visited
the German toy manufacturers this
year say, that Germany Is still making
enough toys to supply the American
demand. Only enough German dolls to
supply fone years demand are kept in
stock in this country. and 1t was said
to-day that unless the British govern
meht allows new dolls to be brought
from Germany, American girls will
have to be satisfied with American
dolls next Christmas.
