Edgeworth Borough Council
A Full Attendance and an Interesting Meeting—Special  Meeting To-Night.
Another interesting meeting of
Edgeworth borough council was
held "on Monday evening of this
week in the cozy council chamber
above McGullough's store and every
member responded to the roll call.
The only absentee was Burgess
Russell.
After reading the minutes of the
previous meeting, which were
adopted as read, Mr. Houston presented a resolution fixing the salary of Borough Solicitor to $400
per annum.
A representative of the Bell
Telephone Gompany presented an
ordinance covering the erection of
poles and of laying underground
conduits, etc., within the borough.
It was held over for further consideration.
GDuncil authorized the issuing
of a certificate of indebtedness for
$3,500.
The police and light committee
was instructed to place several new
lights in the borough. The street
light which was on trial for some
time was not accepted.
Mr. McGullough, of the fire committee, reported that the firemen
had received_ part of the equipment which was ordered some time
ago.
There were several letters received from civil engineers with
bids for making a survey of the
borough and establishing street
lines, etc.,"but no definite action
was taken, and council decided to
hold a special meeting this evening
to consider this very important
legislation.
After some minor business several ordinances were passed finally.
They will be found in full in this
issue.   Adjourned.

Mr. James S. Gray, who is engineering the entertainment of the
"Big Minstrels," to be given in the
Auditorium on 'the evenings of
April 27th and 28th, for the benefit
of the firemen, has many good
things in store for those who attend these entertainments. Among
the features is a "flirtation dance"
from "The Strollers" that will be
the finest turn that has appeared
on the local stage for some time.
Enthusiasm is running high and
many prominent men are taking an
active part in this minstrel, and
success is assured.
The advertising matter is being
posted and the reserved seat chart
will be found at'Walker's pharmacy
on the morning of April 11th, and
you had better buy your tickets

hundred tickets sold and the advertising space on the program is
all disposed of.

semble One Made Years Ago.

niner" who crossed the plains in
company with Mr. John Anderson,

the discovery of gold in Galifornia,
will leave about the middle of April
for Los Angeles to visit his daughter at that place. Mr. Peers will
aiso stop en route at Topeka, Kans.,
Where he will visit his sons. During his first trip over the plains Mr.
Peers kept a correct diary, and he
is ripe with reminiscences of those
exciting days, and in ail probability
we can give our readers some interesting articles from his pen in the
near future.
A
The Knights of Pythias Held Interesting Session Tuesday Evening.
A NUMBER OP VISITORS PRESENT.
One of the most interesting sessions of the year was the one on
Tuesday evening, in Gastle Hall,
when the rank team of No. 426
conferred the work of Knight on
two candidates. The exemplification of the work was fine and won
words of commendation from the
visiting brothers who were present.
This team has a reputation, and
it is worth coming out to see.
There has been a deep interest
taken in the work and No. 426 and
her team ranks high in this order.
The meeting on next Tuesday
evening will be of especial interest
to every member, as matters of
much import to the lodge will be up
for consideration, and every member is urged to attend.
Not "Dad" Lynch.
The rumor was current that
"Dad" Lynch, the well-known river
fireman, was drowned at Bellaire
recently when the towboat "George
Gook" ran into a pier. Investigation developed the fact that the
man drowned was not our friend,
and that Mr. Lynch is still in the
land of the living.
