JAER .? 190% Jtewlfc *«. Pear no man, and do justice to airmen." Vol. I. SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1904. No. 30 Council A Short But Lively Session—Ordinances Passed—Granolithic Sidewalks. THE HERALD SEVERELY CRITICISED. Gouncil met at 7.SO o'clock on Tuesday evening, with President Miller in the chair,, and Messrs. M. B.. Brown, Woods, Atwell, R. R. Brown, Straw, Koch and Knox present. Mr. Barto made a request that sidewalks and curbs be laid on Murray street, claiming the street is impassable. Atwell moved that .the property owners be notified to lay sidewalks, and the motion was carried. A discussion arose regarding the sewers on the Maple Grove plan of lots between the- railroad and the river. A resolution was passed that the engineer be instructed to Gonfer with the owners and have sewers laid of ample siz,e for all time to come. The Herald was criticised by members of Gouncil for its strict- ures on the condition of the sewers, the members claiming that injustice had been done to the Borough Engineer. The claim was made that the cause of the flooding, back-water etc, was the work of nature, : aided by inadequate sewers laid about twelve years ago, for which Gouncil is not primarily responsible, It was also said that the receipts of the engineer's office from outside work had nearly equaled the expenses, and that credit had not been given. In the heat of the argument Gouncilman Atwell, of the Second ward, turned to the writer and told him he "talked like a d fool." The ordinance changing the grade of Ghadwick avenue from Bank street to a point on the Ohio river, was passed. An ordinance establishing the grade of Ghadwick avenue from Ghestnut street to Ferry street, was taken up for first reading and passed. An ordinance requiring that granolithic pavements be made the standard on all streets forty feet or over in width, where new sidewalks were to be laid, was taken up and passed first and second readings. R. R. Brown made a protest regarding hasty action on this ordinance, stating that while the results might eventually be beneficial, at present it would entail hardships on some of the people who could ill afford it. A warrant for $114 for the accident insurance on the firemen was ordered drawn.' A communication was received from Miss Eva Muller complaining that the cutting of Hopkins street endangered the foundations of her house and asking the borough to protect it. Gouncil disavowed any responsibility in the matter. Complaint was made that there were too many dogs running around loose, Arrangements are being made to round them up. -■'"" Gouncil adjourned at 9 o'clock. DEATH SADDENS THE HOMES OF A NUMBER OF FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY. / Mrs. Amanda S. Wagley Agnew. Mrs. Amanda S. Wagley Agnew, wife of Edward Agnew, one of the best known residents of Sewick" ley, died Monday evening at the family residence, Grant street, after a three weeks' illness. Mrs. Agnew was born in Butler in 1859 and was the daughter of the late John and Frances Wagley. She was married in New Gastle in 1867 to Mr. Agnew and the greater part of her married life had been spent in the valley. Mr. Agnew has been the Pittsburg representative of the Equitable Life Insurance Gompany for many years. Mrs. Agnew was a member of the Presbyterian church. Ten children—Maud, Edna, Alice and G. Arbuthnot, at home; Mrs. George B. Zahniser and Mrs. James N. Smith, of New Gastle; Mrs. Arthur L. France, Allegheny; Mrs. Frank L. pullett, Bellevue; Mrs. Will R. Orr, Chicago; Andrew J. Agnew, Everett, Washington, survive. The funeral services were conducted at her late residence Wednesday evening. Interment was private. o Mrs. Hattie Luster. / Mrs. Hattie Luster, aged 50 years, wife of Mr. Amos Luster, died early Sunday morning at the family residence in Haysville, as the result of a paralytic stroke, which she suffered a few days previous to her demise. She had been a resident of Haysville for a number of years and was well known throughout the valley. She was a member of the, Sewickley Methodist Episcopal church and leaves a husband and three children and a large circle of friends to mourn her death. The funeral took place on Tuesday from her late home. / Alyce MacPall. The sad news of the death of little Alyce MacFall, the 9-month- old child of Rev. and Mrs. G. A. MacFall, formerly of this place, was. received here early in the week from' Ghecotah, I. T., where Rev. MacFall is located. The child died on Tuesday, March 22, from an attack of measles. Safe Cracking the Charge. Peter Rock, alias Rqdgers, and Henry. Gorbett, alias Garroll, alias Wilson, were arraigned before United States Commissioner W. T. Lindsay Thursday morning charged with being participants, in the robbery of the postoffice at Ambridge on the night of January 25, last. They were each held in default of $2,000 bail for a hearing next Monday. These two men,, together with "Big,Bob" Fray, were arrested by the railroad detectives in Beaver county and turned over -to Postoffice.. Inspector Frank A. O'Brien. An Ineresting Exhibition. An exhibition of "Mrs. Jarley'S Wax Works" was given in Harrisburg on Wednesday of this* week, which was unique in some of its features. The figures were galvanized and presented a fine appearance, the mechanism was perfect and the puppets worked with clocklike precision, the whole forming a scene that was novel and entertaining. A peculiar feature of the show was that the automans were moved by a wire in the hands of the operator 200 miies away. The exhibi-. tion was the work of a genius, and we would suggest that it be added to the valuable collection now owned by Mrs. G, A. Gormley, of this place. i
