Wcdnesilay evening's meeting was the
shortest regular eeasl ' town council
held this year. Ail the members were
present.
A letter was read from Henry M.
Tracy F.s,p saying thai a change of grade
of the alley between Third and Fourth
avenue and Maple and Forrest streets
will necessitate the building of a retain
lug wall along the properly of John Tole,
and suggested thai a n ting of the
pi'o|M'r committee and .Mr. Tole be hold
to see if a settlement could not i ached.
The Utreet Committee was authorized
to investigate Uio matter and report to
the council.
A proposition from T. .1. Qulglej to
soil u tract of ground between Maple and
Forrest streets, now used by the bor-ough
as a water course, was referred to
the Street Committee for consideration.
On motion of Mr. Ross the Finance
Committee was Instructed to advertise
the fact that interest had 1 1 stopped
on the old issue of bonds.
HDUohra TIIK POLIOS Folios
After tho second reading of the ordi-nance
appropriating the revenue for the
year of 1807. Mr. Ross offered an amend-ment
reducing the appropriation for tho
police force ijlillll. mid adding it to the
strcot appropriation. fills he said was
done for tho purpose of economizing
In the police rather than on the streets.
He thought the borough could get aloug
with three policemen and s|H'nd the money
thus saved In bettering the streets of the
borough.
A motion, however, had already been
made to have the ordinance read the
third time, and the president ruled Mr.
Ross' amendment out of order.
The ordinance was again read and
adopted.
Solicitor Meyers stated in reference
to the suits For damage against the bor
oiigh. caused by tin' dangerous condition
of 1 lector street when the trolley tracks
were being laid, that these suits had
been settled without coat to the borough.
A N0RRIST0WN LETTER
Its all over—now to business. Trade
ot the county seat has been rocked and
torn by the din of political strife, but i he
agitation Is not yet over. The Senatorial
light confronts ua—lets say Wauainakor
and be done with It, there is no use run
nlng counter to public feeling. Once this
question Is settled, business will boom
and not until then.
The Democracy of this county had Its
wind swiped by the appalling result.
There arc thoso iu the party who lake a
grain of comfort from the fact that its
arch foes downed them, without the help
of tho gold fragment of Democracy. Some
people can take comfort out of any ca-lamity.
Old Montgomery, Republican by
0000 majority. Whew: Its enough to take
any Democrats breath. Doctor Acker,
free silver Democrat for Congress, did not
jioll a single vote. Its the llrst time In
the history of this or any district Iu the
country when a candidate did not get his
own vote. Times have certainly changed.
Wo are all excited here over the Kaiser
murder. It begins to look as if Kaiser
the accused wife murderer Is to go soot
free. Our police are dreamers. They
don't like the way the Conshohocken po-lice
got ahead of them in tho Dotts mur-der
ease. While everyone Is sure that
Kaiser is morally guilty, there is au ap-parent
lack of evidence of tho Fact. Our
polico so Far have not connected with sev-eral
missing links, which are Important to
fix the crime upon him. Lei tins Consho-hocken
force take a helping hand and our
police will Sillk.
The Montgomery County Historical So
cicty has purchased the old Ixirnugh hall
for $.i,iU0. It Is a blessing to the borough
or else we would have hiul to continue It
as an unvallable asset. It will Just suit
the p ii poses of the society and the bor-ough
should have sold it for a far lees sum
to this worthy organization. [MANIAI.

Ihe Coroner's jury In the Kaiser miir-iii
i-case assembled Weilnesday afternoon
and were a.ljoiirued by the Ciuoner until
NoveinlM'r -0, without taking any testl

by the Coroner after n brief whispered
conversation with the Commonwealth At-torneys,
who continue to hinl at startling
developments within Ihe no.xl few days.
They hold out the Inference that al the
Dual hearing they will disclose a tlendisli
plot to murder Mrs. Kaiser, lu which
Others are implicated, but will reserve
their strougost evidence against Kaiser,
tho suspected murderer, until tho trial,
'fhe defence is working on tho assump-tion
that Kaiser is wholly Innocent; that
his wife was nnirdensl by highwaymen.
an 1 that the variations from bis original
story may be attributed to his necessarily
excited condition when he llrst essayed to
give details of the affair.
Mr. Clemmer, the supposed ally of Kai-ser,
has not been apprehended. Just as
ho was alioul to be captured by Detective
Geyer and Chief of Polico Kodonbaugh,
be gave up his employment lu Philadel-phia
and leFt For iiarts unknown.
A purl ion oF Clemmcr's post comes to
light in Con-liolmckeii. Last summer he
boarded al. a well known boarding house,
while he was "canvassing," he said, "for
a Philadelphia house," He had boon In
town but a few days when he hired n
horse and carriage From Liveryman
Moore, to drive to Norrlstown. About II
o'clock that night the horse came home
dragging the carriage, with one whoel ofl.
Clemmst was found lying In the gutter
aloug the river road t in I'pper Merlon),
training between West Conshohocken and
lirldgeport. He was examined by a local
physician and his injuries pronounced
painful, but not serious or fatal, being
mostly body bruises. There were no
Ixmos broken.
While he was In Ui\ a gentleman and
lady were among his frequent call.-is
The gentleman called at local newspapei
offices a week or more after the accident,
and stated that he wished copies of the
liai.ei- containing an account of the acci-dent,
as Clemmer wished to use them lu
proving a claim for accident Insurance.
The polios believe this man to have been
Kaiser and his companion, tho missing
woman. It is alleged that Clemmer, to
an acquaintance, confided how the acci-dent
occurred, lie said the horse did
not run away until he had taken trie nut
from Ihe axle and whipped up tho horse,
letting the animal take Its course. He
then took a coupling pin, which he found
on Ihe Reading Railroad near-by, and
beating himself black and blue, lay down
by the roadside to be picked up by some
passer-by.
Ou August 10 Clemmer had his lioard-lug-
house mistress arrested For assault
and battery. Before Magistrate Hay
wood, of Conshohocken, ho alleged that
she complained because of his untidy ap-liearanco,
and when he resented, sho be
labored him with a pokor. The Justice
held tho woman under $100 bail for
Court. Hor easo never came up, as Clem-mer
or Clyiner never appeared.
New Suburban Water Supply
Something more than a year ago the
American Pipe Line Company, better
known as the Berwyn Water Company,
acquired possession of the old Moore Hall
mill, near the mouth of Pickering Creek,
In Schuylklll township, Chester County,
and about a mile from Phocnlxvllle. The
old mill had stood for nearly a century
and a half, and It was there that the
grinding was done for the American army
at Valley Forgo.
The company has just completed, on the
spot, a large water works pumping sta-tion,
by which to supply water to the
towns along the main line of the Pennsyl-vania
Railroad, beginning with Paoll and
ending at the submbs of Philadelphia.
Tho supply will come from Pickering
Creek, which Is fed by numerous springs.
The last work being done Is the con-struction
of the big storage dam at Moore
Hall, into which tho water will flow from
tho ffiters. This dam is alxmt finished.
The tutoring plant of the works has a ea
paclty for ono million gallons dally.
A few days ago tho water was for the
llrst time turned Into the mains, but the
pressure at the trial waa too great and
one of them burstod, rendering a shut-down
necessary until repairs could lie
made. The main reservoir Is on Diamond
Rock hill, near Valley Forge, some three
miles distant from the pumping station,
and stands ou an eminence, so that the
water will How by gravity.
Pushed Under n Trala
Tho Inquest over tho body of James
Taylor Lord, of Falls of Schuylklll, who
is supposed to have been pushed In Front
of a fast moving train by a companion on
the Rending Railroad, at Royersford, was
concluded Wednesday night.
The jury rendered a verdict that the
man met his death at the said place and
that there was evidence sufficient to
show that he ivas pushed under the train,
and recommended that the facts In the
rerdtot l» tilled to the District At-torney
for Ids consideration. The po-lico
are still searching for the alleged
murderer, whose name Doollx Long of Nor-rlstown.
The 4'.' acre far f the late II. L

Argaiaeal Court News
Argument Court was held tbla week.
in arguing tot a new trial iu the . a if
(lalvanizing Co. vs. Bates, Mr. Traoj
cont.'ii.led thitt the verdict was against the
weight of the evidence, that there had
been error in the charge of the court, and
that the jury had boon indiscreet in pur-chasing
newspapers, conlaiulng a stato-inciii
id the testimony hi ti aso, aftoi
they hud retired to their room for deliber-ation.
Mr. Holland opposed the motion.
John Toll vs. John .1. Or! an el al.
This is a ease stated, lu which tip) fads
appear as follows:- The parlies arc all
members of a bencllciul association called
the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Ainor-loa.
The organization extends over the con-tinent
and Is governed by a constitution
Iii which it is stated that sick beneflta
shall D0 allowinl to memliors, not ISM
than $.1 per week, not to extend ovor 13
weeks.
Art. 18, see 1 states that each state,
county and division shall have power to
make such by-laws as do not oonlliot with
the .'iiii.-t il itii in
Ou tho 10th of Match. 181)0, the local
division passed a resolution suspending
payment of all sick benefits for tho period
Of eight months. Subsequent to the pass-age
oF this resolution plaintiff wus taken
111 and brought suit to recover ?'MI for six
weeks of illness. Defendants refusutr pay-ment
on the ground thnl the above reso-lution
precluded the plaintiff from recov-ery.
Win. F. Myers, Ksip, contended that
the by-law or resolution was void because
It was In oonlliot with the constitution of
the organization; also because It was
pas-.-d and went into efTecl on a Sunday,
N. II. Laraalero, Esq., maintained that
this was not a by-law. but only u resolu-tion
which local divisions were at limes
forced to pass to protect themselves from
dissolution. Ho quoted several authori-ties,
showing that such resolution- could
lie lawfully passed.
Julia Scharf vs. Charles Hamilton &
Sons. Demurer to bill in equity.
The defendants laid a water pipe from
their property above Spring Mill to their
mill about one mid three-fourth mile- be
low. In doing so they laid the pipes upon
the tow-pnth of the Schuylklll Naviga-tion
Company in front of Mrs. Scharf's
property.
Mrs. s,|iaiMil.'d a bill, alleging that her
property extended to the river front and
included the canal, and that defendants
were laying their pipes upon her property
without her consent. She asked they be
restrained from laying said pipes.
Tho defendants demurred to the bill
on tho ground that If plaintiff owned the
property, she had an adequate remedy at
law in damages.
Second. That Ihe charter under which
tho canal company Is incorporated gives
them the right to acquire the property In
fee and to sell for water power for por
manent USS; that the company owned the
properly upon which the. pipes were laid
and gave permission to defendants to lay
their water pipes upon the towpathof the
canal
Il was contented on behalf of Mrs.
Shaft that It Is alleged 111 the bill that the
property upon which the pipes are laid
belongs to her, which fact in an argu-ment
on a demurrer to the bill, is necess-arily
admitted, therefore, plaintiff had a
standing and a right to lllo a bill to pre-vent
defendants from laying their pipes
upon hor property.
It was further contended that if plain-tiff
brought an action of damages, that
would confirm the right of the def lain
to go upon hor prendses.
Smith's Whereabouts Still Unknown
Tho l.ansilnlc Republican says that the
whereabouts ol Henry J. .Smith, the de-faulting
president of tho Laimdah- SaFe
tin.I Trust Deposit Company, is as much
of a mystery, to tho general public at
least, as it was a week ago. Rumor has
it that he wus traced to New York, where
he took ]WHHagi) For a Foreign port. This,
however. Is simply guess work. Neither
are there any now developments as to his
siieculatlons, save that his absei has
caused a chaos In theaftalrs of individuals.
•fho entrusted him with their business.
which may lead to considerable litigation.
Coal Cars Looted
For some time the Reading Railroad
authorlth's have suffered wholesale thefts
of coal from ears passing through Polls
town, in some cases trains being out lu
two to give the culprits a better chance to
conflscate tho coal. Tuesday afternoon
Chief of Detectives Miller, of the Reading
Railroad fore, arrested Davis M. Gilbert.
Samuel Richards. ('. Richards. Charles A.
Rhoadaaad Augustus Mlnker, of Potts-town,
