In order that Town Council may
hold a session to transact business
ten members must be present at roll
call, according to the present rules.
For the past several months there
have been many absentees and sev-eral
times before a session could be
called members have been sent out
for in order to secure the necessary
ten members for a quorum.
At the regular meeting on Wednes-day!
night but nine members were pre-sent
at the hour for oitening the ses-sion.
For a time it looked as if busi-ness
would be held up and those de-pending
on the borough for wages
and those having bills for payment
would have to wait for another month
President Williams instructed the
sergeant-at-arms to hunt up a council-man
and while he secured one mem-ber
Into the chamber and the ses-sion
was opened with eleven members
answering the roll call. President
Williams then suggested that it would
be well to offer a resolution amend-ing
the rules changing the number
necessary for a quorum from ten to
eight members. The suggestion was
acted upon by Mr. O'Bflen preparing
a resolution Which was offered and
read and laid over for one month.
There is no doubt but that the change
will be made as the members present
were in favor of the change.
The session was one of the shortest
held by Council in a long while. No
new business was offered as the*new
appropriation ordinance was not pre-sented.
The burgess reported the collection
of $151 for licenses and permits.

with the agreement or the late Mr.

The Appropriation committee offer-ed
an.ordinance which was adopted by
an unanimous vote, transferring $657.-
1*4, being unexpended balances in va-rious
appropriations for 1914, to
other appropriations in which there
are shortages as follows: police, $200.-
10; street lights, $844.94; board of
health, $112.10.
The Street committee reported trou-ble
with ice filling the gutters and
roadways in West Third avenue, EUst
Fourth avenue and in Spring -Mill av-enue.
It was complained that the wa-ter
trom church pipe organs was pour-ed
Into the gutters in such volume
as to cause overflows. The commit-tee
asked if some remedy could not
be found. No action was taken in the
matter.
The Police, Fire and Water commit-tee
reported all police officers were on
duty during the month and the allow-ance
for the outage of street lights
was $+.64.
The Ways and Means committee
reported the collection of $1100 in tax-es,
$250 being on account of the 1913

given for the discounting of a note
to cover the shortage.
The interest on $14,000 of bonds,
amounting to $285 is due February 1,
and the committee was instructed to
discount a note to pay this sum as it

The heavy rain storm which start-ed
in this viciIiit> early on Tuesday
morning and continued unabated until
Wednesday morning, caused the
Schuylkill river to ari83 higher than
it has for many years. The water
ovei (lowed the banks pouring into the
cellars anld fly pits of the different
mills in the Conriiohockens, causing
tho mill owners considerable trouble
and forcing the mills to cease opera-tions.
The water began to rise early on
Tuesday evening and rose rapidly.
At midnight it was seen that the wa-ter
was going to Hood the mills and
workmen of the Merlon Worsted Mills
Were summoned from their beds to
remove the valuable stock from the
cellar and to a place of safety.
On Wednesday morning partj of the
mill were compelled to close down on
account of the water which bad Hood-ed
the upper end of the mill yard.
The plant of the John Wood Manu-facturing
Company and the J. Wood
& Brothers Company wen also com-pelled
to shut down on account of the
great rise in the water,
The firm of Henderson Supplee &
Son was given much concern although
no damage was done to the plant.
Tho Interior of the water mill was
inundated to the depth of several feet
bul this old industrial landmark is no
longer used as an ijen manufactory.
The water reached the cellar of the
Philadelphia & Reading passenger
stalion and put out the f.re, but lucK-lly
the weather on Wednesday was
exceptionally good and the force of
clerks did not suffer from the cold.
Several sheet mills and one Hue
mill at tho Schuylkill Iron works
were compelled to stop work early onj
Wednesday morning, but the mills re-sumed
operation in the afternoon.
Near the coal shutes along the river
road, ill West i"onshohocken, the wa-ter
was more than three feet deep and
it was impossible to travel that thor-oughfare.
Along the low places near Spring
Mill the water rushed over the rail-roads
and submerged the tracks, but
not to a sufficient depth to Interfere
with the running of the trains.
The water reached its height about
noon on Wednesday and about one o'-
clock began to recede.
Yesterday the water had dropped
several feet and the mills resumed
their operations as usual.
All the towns along the river exper-ienced
the same trouble as this bor-ough,
but Manayunk suffered more
thai, any other point. There the
banks are lower and the bed of the
river narrower and thousands of dol-lars
damage was done to the mills
there.
The river was higher than it has
beer, for many years although it did
not reach the proportions that it did
in March, 1902. When the first floor
of the Reading station was under wa-ter
and persons could row up the
track In row boats.

PROMINENT IRON WORKER DIEID
AT HIS HOME IN WEST CONSHO-HOCKEN,
ON WEDNESDAY.—
HAD BEEN ILL FOR MANY
MONTHS FROM CANCER OF THE
STOMACH.—F"UNERAL WILL BE
HELD TOMORROW.
J. Conrad Williams, a prominent
iron worker, died at his home. No. 635
Ford street, West Conshohocken,
shortly before nine o'clock, on Wed-nesday
evening, aged fifty-three years.
Deceased had been 111 for more than
a year suffering from cancer of the
•stomach and for more than a month
his condition had been critical. For
nearly four weeks he had been unable
to take any nourishment and members
of his family constantly sat at his bed-side
momentarily expecting the end
to come. Notwithstanding his awful
suffering and the effects of the power-ful
opiates administered to alleviate
the excruciating i>aln, he retained his
faculties until Tuesday morning when
he lapsed into a stupor. He remained
in a comatose state until Wednesday
at noon when he again rallied. Half
hour before he died he became uncon-scious
and remained in that condition
until his death.
Besides his wife he is survived by
tho following children: Clifford, Har-ry,
Frank, Harvey, Irvin Florence and
Margaret, all of West Conshohocken.
He is also survived by three sisters,
Mrs. Clara Earl, Mrs. Mary Thompson
and Mrs. Mabel Robinson, all of West
'Conshohocken.
He was a member of Conshohocken
Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Consho-hocken
Lodge, I»yal Order of Moose,
Schuylkill Iron Relief Association and
the George Clay Fire Company, of
West Conshohocken.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence tomorrow afternoon.
Services will he conducted at the
house at 2.30 o'clock and Will be in
charge of Rev. J. Kennedy Moorhouse,
rector of Calvary P. E. church, of this
borough. The members of the differ-ent
organizations of which he was a
member and the employees of the J.
Wood &.' Brothers Company are invit-ed
to attend. The interment will be
made in the (lulph iCemetery.
Conrad Williams was the son of the
late Major and Ellen Williams and
was born in the homestead, which ad-joins
his late home on upper Ford
street, West Conshohocken, on Sep-tember
2, 1861, and has resided in
that borough continuously since that
time with the exception of a few
years when he was quite young and
when his parents resided in this bor-ough.
From the time he was a mere lad
he took to the outdoor life and all
Hi rough his life was a staunch believ-er
in that mode of living. He was a
devotee to base ball and was at one
time one of the best player3 that the
borough icould boast of. For several
seasons he played with the old Con-shohocken
team, which represented
the borough several years ago and
even when Father Time counted him
out as a player, he followed with in-terest
local teams and took a keen In-terest
in the teams of the major
leagues of the United States. In fact,
It Is doubtful If any other resident
kept closer tabs on base ball than he
or studied the leading players of the
country more closely.
He was also among the best marks-men
that this vicinity could boast of
and his performances at the traps
have on more than one ocacslon, in-terested
trap shooters In general
throughout the county. His last no-table
performance took place about
two years ago when he and his four
sons were opposed to ICharles Cress-man
and his four sons In what was
supposed to be a match for the family
championship of the county. The
Cressmans won the matcli but tho
work of the elder Williams was as
good as was made by any of the parti-cipants.
His love for hunting was next to
that for his home and It was his cus-tom
annually to take a trip to the
Western part of the State where he
would have solid enjoyment for more
than a week at a time. Before the
law placed a limit on the number of
rabbits to each gunner a day, Conrad
Williams could gather as many as any-other
one man.
Of a Jovial disposition he was well
met and made maul* friends and It
was a characteristic of his to be able
to hold them.
Deceased was extremely fond of
children, and while enjoying good
health, he rarely passed a child on the
street, but that he did not have a
pleasant greeting for It. He often
times procured a number of pennies
and gave them just to watch the ex-pressions
of their countenances.
From the time he was old enough
he has worked In the rolling mills and
has performed the duties of nearly all
of the different departments in all
of the various iron mills of the bor-ough.
Of a robust build he enjoyed excel-lent
health until a few years ago,
when he began to decline. His condi-tion
was not considered serious until
a little more than a year ago when he
was confined to his home for several
weeks witli what he supposed was
stomach trouble. JHe recovered suf-ficiently
to resume his duties but he
worked only a few weeks when he was
again obliged to remain at his home.
Ix)cal medical aid failed to relieve him
and it was arranged for him to consult
a specialist in Philadelphia. This he
did with the result that It was deemed
necessary for him to submit to an
oi>eratlon. He refrained for several
months when his condition became
such that he finally consented and
last February he was removed to the
University Hospital, Philadelphia, but
an examination by the physicians at
the hospital, showed that he was suf-fering'
from a cancer of the stomach
and his condition was such that it was
useless to operate on him and he was
removed to his home as incurable.
Since that time he has spent the
greater part of his time in bed; his
robust form yielding to tiie ravages
of the disease until at the time of his
death he was scarcely a shadow of
his former self. During the last few
months of his life his sufferings were
intense but lie bore them with Chris-tian
fortitude, knowing full well that
nothing could be done to relieve him.
At the time of the explosion at the
J. Wood & Brothers Company many
years ago, deceased was employed at
the old Albion Print Works on the
(ipi)nsii•■ side of the canal, and had a
close call from being fatally injured.
A piece of the flying fragments of iron
flew across the canal and tearing a
hole through the side of the mill
struck Mr. Williams badly injuring
him. It required several stitches to
close a gash in his leg and he was
confined to hla home fcjr several
weeks.
In September, 1881, he married Har-riet
Ri8tine and to the union eight
children were born, seven of whom are
still living.
