Sewickley. / On Wednesday evening, August 127 the many campers on the Mt. Sewickley Gamp Grounds tendered a reception to Mrs. Mary Ann B. Johnston, wife of Squire Johnston, of this place, in honor of her eighty-sixth birthday. A large number of children marched across the grounds, singing as they went, taking Mrs. Johnston entirely by surprise as she was sitting on the porch of their cottage. Each child carried a flower and dropped it in her lap as they passed, and the last little girl presented „her with an immense boquet, in behalf of all of her friends. The older folks followed the children, each one showering congratulations upon Mrs. Johnston. She then arose, and in a few very sweet and appropriate words, thanked her friends, both old and young. Refreshments were served, and after singing a few suitable hymns her friends bade her goodnight with best wishes for the coming year. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston were married fifty-eight years ago, in Washington county, and have resided in Sewickley for the past thirty-eight years. They have four children, Dr. William .Mo., Warden of the Western Penitentiary; James, tipstaff at the Court House ; Mrs. Nicholas Way, of Lisbon, 0., and Mrs. Daniel DeLinn, of Sewickley; also nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, all of whom are living. Among the friends prominent in the reception were; Mr. and Mrs, J. K. McCormick, Mrs. R. M. Erwin, Sewickley; Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Murray, Mrs. P. W. Bowman, Mr. Samuel BroWn, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Homer, and the Misses Homer, of Pittsburg; Mr. and Mrs. James Dunlap, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Dunlap, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Dunlap, Mrs. Eli Alexander, Mrs. Dr. Eaton, Mrs. M. B. Goff, Miss Virgie Goff and Mrs. Smith, of Allegheny; Mr. Melvion, of Clearfield, Ohio; Mrs. Lang- worth, Mrs. McMillan, Mrs. Rev. Carr, and Miss Helen Garr. of Letonia, Ohio, and Mrs. Fisher, of Leetsdale. The children who formed the procession were: Cora Pitcairn, Elmer McMillan, Evalyn Brown, Robert Dunlap, Judson Brown, Margaret Dunlap, Harriet Pitcairn, Garmelita Brown, Dorothy Dunlap, Margaret Blackstock,May Burford.Katb- ryn Brown, Bessie Baker, Glara Bent- field, Emmert Grant, Edward Horner, William Blackstock, Harry Dunlay, Oliver Riddle and Silivyn Bowman. 15 Miles an hour Cost Mr. Duss, of Economy, $6.50. Thursday afternoon, about four o'clock, Mr. J. S. Duss, Jr., of the quaint town of Economy, came to Sewickley in his little red auto. Now this in itself may not have attracted so much attention, but the speed of the machine, as it disappeared down the street, would not correspond with the borough ordinance and Ghief Morningstar's stop watch. The Ghief requested Mr. Duss to step into Squire Johnston's office, which he did, and they figured the spewed of the machine to be about fifteen miles per hour, about twice the speed allowed by the law. Mr." Duss paid $5 and costs for violating the ordinance and departed for his home in Economy in a good humor. He, however, made a good suggestion before he parted company with the squire, which was to the effect that every auto should be equipped with a speed indicator. Visiting Her Sister. Mrs. T. D. Russell, of Alliance, Ohio, is the guest of her sister, "Mrs. W. R. Hill, of Hill street. Special Session. Plans for New Borough Building Presented. No Definite Action Taken. Gouncil met in special session on Monday evening. All the members were present except Councilman M. B. Brown. Architect W. F. Struthers presented plans and specifications for the new fire department building. The plans called for a two- story brick building 22x37 feet. The first floor will contain room for hose carriages, hook and ladder wagon, with stable of five single stalls and one box stall; also locker for clothing. On the second floor there will be a council chamber 18x24 feet; room for firemen, 20x 22 feet; an engineer's room 16x17 feet with fireproof vault. The estimated cost would be $12,000. Gouncil at first demurred at this proposition, as it was much more than they had counted on—the sum proposed to be set aside for this purpose being about $3,000. It was then, suggested that it might be better to erect a good structure that would last for fifteen or twenty years, and that would also contain a jail, and whatever else was necessary. A request was received from the council of Osborne borough to permit said borough to connect its sewer with the one on Beaver street, at the corner of Boundary. The matter was discussed in all its bearings. President Miller said he would write to the Osborne authorities and learn their wishes. The ordinance for macadamizing Frederick avenue from Broad to Ferry streets was passed on first and second readings, The bids for the Ghadwick avenue sewer were taken up and M. O'Herron & Go. were awarded the contract for $716.15. ' A request had been made by some of the residents of Beaver street to have the bridge across the run on said street remodeled. Gouncil was willing to do this if "the people interested would agree to pay the cost of improvement. The president was instructed to notify them of this A communication was received from the Board of Health, calling attention to the condition of the run, and requesting Gouncil to improve said run. It was ordered filed. An ordinance changing and relocating run from Gentennial avenue to the Ft. Wayne railroad bridge across Ferry street, passed first and second readings. An ordinance confining and completely enclosing the run the same distance passed first and second readings. Ghris. Becker requested the privilege of placing a wharf boat at the foot of Walnut street with the understanding that it can be used by the public for freight purposes. A resolution was passed authorizing him to do so under the conditions stipulated. The question regarding the collection of property taxes from the G. D. & P. Telegraph Go. was brought up, and the solicitor was called up by 'phone and asked his opinion on the matter. He replied that if the building formed a part of the company's equipment the tax could not be collected. The borough engineer requested Gouncil to purchase another typewriter, as the one in use was worn out, R. R. Brown was instructed to purchase one. m^
