A QUIET MEETING.
The regular monthly meeting of
Sewickley borough council was held
on Tuesday evening in the council
chamber, at which the president,
Mr. F. W. Straw, presided. Messrs.
Diehl, Ghaplin, Patton and Paulson
were present, as was also Mr.
Joseph W. Graig, burgess.
Nothing of a very important nature developed. There was a letter
received from the Methodist church
officials asking for an extension of
the time in which they are to relay
the pavement around their property.
The proper committee will take
the matter up with the church
people.
The existence of several area-
ways on our streets whereby the
sidewalks are occupied by guard
rails was mentioned and the matter
will be taken up with the borough
solicitor and, if possible, the obstructions will be removed.
The borough engineer was authorized to purchase some iron
pipe whereby he may be able to
extend one of the sewers that
empties into the river near the
Dippold property, and which gave
out an offensive odor, owing to the
ice having crushed the terra cotta
pipe? which was supposed to carry
the sewage into the stream.
More light is wanted by the i esi-
dents in the neighborhood of Ghadwick street and White avenue, and
the matter will be taken up by the
committee on light, and the probabilities are that the necessary
lamp will be placed.
Ghief of Police Earle S, Roach
presented his report, which showed
the number of arrests made by his
department during the month of
September, Other business under
the jurisdiction of the police com-
mitte was spoken of and Mr. Straw

A Fine Frontispiece.
"The Banker," a leading financial
publication has for its September
frontispiece a duo print portrait of
Dr. R. J. Murray, president of the
First National' Bank of this place.
In the same issue is * a descriptive
article about this banking institution that is replete with information concerning the bank, and its
officers from its organization to
date. The bank was organized in
1890 and opened its doors for
business November 15th of that
year. In 1894 the present building was erected and under the
guidance of conservative and "conscientious business men who extended every courtesy within the
ethics of banking to its patrons, the
bank has attained an enviable
standing in the ranks of suburban
banks. Dr. R. J. Murray has been
president of this institution since
its organization. Mr. E. P. Goffin,
the cashier, enjoys the same honors, and he has as his assistants a
staff of efficient men who are well
spoken of by the many patrons of
the bank.
Annual Rally Day.
Mr. Way's Young Men's Bible
Glass will hold its annual rally day
exercises to-morrow morning, at
9.SO o'clock in the Young Men's
Ghristian Association building. An
earnest invitation is extended to
all members, and others, who may
not have membership in other
classes, to attend.
Tore the Wheel Off.
On Saturday afternoon last a
team belonging to Mr. John Slack,
of Edgeworth, struck a rear wheel
of a light vehicle owned by Mr. L
Hahn, the tailor, of Beaver street,
which was standing in front of his
place of business, and as a consequence the wheel was demolished
and scattered over the street, a
fragment of which struck a large
plate glass window but fortunately
did not break it.

REFINED
VAUDEVILLE.
Entertainment for Benefit of
Citizens' Band will be
Held Shortly.
Mr. B. F. Brown has been making arrangements for a refined
vaudeville show, which he will
stage for the benefit of the Citizens'
Band of this place. The date has
been fixed for Thursday, November 8. Aside from the local talent
Mr. Brown has secured the services of some very good Pittsburg
and Allegheny performers. The
auditorium will no doubt be crowded on this night as "Ben" has a
reputation of doing the right thing
at the right time, and then the
band is worthy of a liberal support
from our citizens.
Broke Large Plate Glass.
Thursday morning about 9.30,
Mr. George H. Hegner was accidentally pushed against one of the
large plate glass windows of his
place of business on Beaver street,
and the glass was shattered. Mr.
Hegner made a very narrow escape from serious injury, as a large
piece of the heavy glass just grazed his face and left a slight abras-
sion of the skin. The window will
cost more than $100 to  replace.
Will Hold Services as Usual.
The services at the Methodist
Episcopal church will be held as
usual to-morrow morningand evening, the pastor occupying the pulpit. This announcement is made
on account of the meeting of Gonference.
