A special meeting of the Board of Trustees vras held at the Corporation rooms on Nov. 16, 1888 Present A. Sbimer, President; Trustees Colgan, Mun- nich, Boyd, Corwin, Lyon and Oakley. In the absence o f the clerk, C. E. Cudde- hack was appointed clerk pro tern. The petition of Dr. John Ccnkling re ceived at the last meeting, askiug that a large pipe be laid near h is residence under Main street,so as to prevent the accamula- tion of water after heavy rains and con sequent damage to his property and offer ing to loan the necessary funds to the vil lage without interest until he could be re paid, was taken up and discussed. Trustee Boyd moved a special com mittee o f five be appointed to visit the premises and make personal investigation as to the ground for the complaint. His motion was carried and the President ap pointed Trustees Boyd, Corwin, Colgan, Munnich and Oakley such committee, John Kadel appeared before the Board and renewed his complaint that the waste water from the Mmn street drinking foun tain found Its way to his cesspool, and asked that it be remedied. On motion of Trustee Oakley it was ordered that the water from said fountain be shut off forth with and that the same remain closed until spring. President Shimer reported that contrac tor Nolan had applied for permission to dump into the Delaware river, near the milk house of Wade Buckley, surplus dirt from the excavation for the new Erie switches. It appearin g that the place des ignated was outside the corporate limits, it was agreed that Trustee Colgan should inform Mr. Nolan of that fact. President Shimer reported a complaint from P, E. Earnum that tne culvert under Sussex street had become obstructed and thereby water had been accumulated on his premises. The matter was discussed, but no action taken thereon. Mr. E. G.

We copy from the Evening Telegram the following notice of the play that is to he given at the Opera House on Thurs day: Mr. George C* Boniface’s per formance of Jerry Jummel, “ the cham pion o f the oppressed, devoted to busi- ness,” gave great satisfaction to a large audience last night In the new play of “ Under Cover.” This drama consists of a prologue and three acts, and is highly sensational. Among the characters are some phenomenally good people and some pretematurally bad ones, who pursue with relentless animosity unprotecte l in nocence. Virtue is most liberally re warded and vice punished in a practical and effective manner. L IST O F UNCLAIMEH LEOCTEKS.

The Library committee of the Board of Education desires us to state that they are now preparing to purchase books for the 13chool District Library. In order that they may make the library more help ful to the reading public, they invite sug gestions from its patrons and our citizens as to hooks on its shelves. By reference to the minutes of last meet ing o f the Board of Education, published on Monday last, it will be seen that a new supplementary catalogue of the School District Library is now ready for use. These can be purchased of the librarian at 5 cents each, or an old catalogue with supplement for 25 cants. These prices barely cover cost of printing. The library is open four times each week, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings from 7 to 9, and Saturday morn ing from 9 to 11. It is growing gradually and in time we hope to see it a reference library and reading room, open every day and evening, Duriuc the past year about 150 volumes have been donated to it, and about 250 volumes have he n purchased and placed upon its shelves. There is a prospect for a larger increase in the number of volumes this year. As a result o f the large number o f pupils in our academy, we will receive about f 100 for library purposes. In state distribution of public school monies we are entitled this year to $150 more. Our last annual district meeting voted the accustomed ap- proprialion o f $200 for library purposes. This makes a snug sum with which to replenish our library, and doubtless some books will be donated. We are gkd to know that the Board of Education are offering to the reading public an oppor tunity to name any books desired, and hope our readers will feel free to assist them in this way. A GOOD T HING W liiclr B a ilro a d M en Should Encourage I t by T h e ir P a tronage. One of the institutions of this town which is continually looking after the best interest of the community is the Railroad Young Men’s Christian Association. Its hoard of directors are constantly ou the alert to adopt any new plan which will benefit tut railroad employee, and great credit is due the Erie company for en couraging and more than half supporting an instituvion of this kind. One Oi the latest ventures is the plan of keepinp, tue bath and wash rooms open all night, su that railroad men who are com ing uome off the road at all hours o f the night,may have a chance to wash, and get a bath in a warm place, at any hour of the day or night. This plan will be tried for a month and, if the men show by their patronage that they appreciate it, it will he continued all winter, but if they do not do their part to make it a success, it will discontinued. A monthly fee of 25 cents will entitle every railr.oador to the privileges above mentioned. ANOTHEE, BUKGLABT. N ight P row lers V isit a Saloon in th e Low e r P a r t of t h e V illage. The burglars who have been plying their vocation unmolested in this village during the past few months added to their list of visitations last night. The scene of this latest robbery was the saloon of Charles Northrup on Owen street. The thieves gained entrance to the building through a window, which they pried open. Once ins’de they helped themselves to the contents of the saloon, and carried away about seveu gallons of whiskey, a number of boxes of cigarettes, also some cigars, and a quantity of tobacco. The thieves also thought to set fire to the house by placing a quantity of paper, rags, etc., around the stove which they thought would Ignite after they had got safely away. Their fierdssh plan did not succeed however, as a member of tbe family awokebefore any damage was done. SULLIVAN’S BOARD OF SUPERVISORS The Sullivan County Board of Super visors convened as a Board of County Canvassers on Tuesday. Cnas. R. Roosa of Bethel was made chairman o f the Board Of Canvassers.

J . —W ork on t h e M o n ticello E x te n sion Insi>ected hy th e D irectors and O thers. The running of the through trains of the West Shore Railroad over the line of the Erie, between Newburgh and Wee- hawken, N. J., the eastern terminus of the road—something that takes place be cause of the blocking o f the West Shore by the caving-in of the West Point tunnel —has caused an abnormal state o^^ allairs at Newburgh, About 45 trainmen, espec ially detailed for the purpose, and mostly from the main line of the road, are now engaged in “piloting’’ the West Shore trains over the Erie’s track. These men are divided into crews of three each—an engineer, a flagman and a brakeman who does duty at the head of the train, all other necessary work along the road being done by the West Shore men of each train, whose crews are kept up to the maximum number. NewSurgh is made the headquarters for the Etile employes as the “round trips” bring them there. Some of the boys re ceive large, well-filled pails of “grub” from their respective homes, and lodge in a comfortable passenger coacb, placed at a convenient point on a side switch in the Newburgh yard, while others have sscured boarding places about town. “ Billy ” Franklin, an old railroader who is minus an arm, which he lost in an accident, and who has been for several years a “caller” in Port Jervis, has been assigned to duty there as “caller” and general overseer of the Erie contingent, and right well does he perform his duties. Wb at with the presencs of the Erie and West Shore “boys,” their trainmasters and yardimasters, dispatchers and telegraph operators, who all may be seen in and around the Erie dispatchers’ office at Newburgh almost constantly, day and night, it can readily be conceived that a busy, hustling scene is ever present there these days. A SEEIOtr^ AOOIDBNX AVERTED. What might have been a very serious accident occurred at 1,30 o’clock this morning, just west of Parker’s Glen. About that hour, while A. Dilger’s extra eastbound freight train with engine 680, Shay engineer, was bowling along be tween Shohola and Parker’s Glen, an axle under one of the cars broke and the car left the track. It ran along for some distance on the ties before the engineer could be signaled and the train brought to a sta dstill. This was hardly done when number 29, laden with emigrant paasengers, shot by the wreck, barely shaving the derailed car, which projected out towards'the west bound track. Had the freight train run along for an other minute, more cars would have left the track, and before train 29 could be signaled, she would, in aU probability, have run into the wreck, and a more serious wreck than the one which hap pened at Shohola, some time ago, would have been the result, as at the point where the accident occurred there is a very steep embankment, similar to the one near Shohola. ANOTHER PROPOSED EXTENSION. The proposition of building a branch from the Susquehanna and Western rail road to Newton is received with much favor by the citizens and business men of that place, who see that the village could be benefited by a new line to New York. BROTHERHOOD OF RAILROAD BBAKEMEN. The cash received by the Brotherhood of Brakemen during the past year will amount to $145,405. Of this amount over $123,000 was expended for benefl cent purposes. A large number of new lodges were organized. The general out look is veiY encouraging, as year by year the organiz ition is steadily growing and large numbers of new members are being added to the ranks. WORK ON THE MONTIOELLO EXTENSION. The Wurtsboro dispatch says several of the officers and directors of the P. J., M. & N. Y. R. R. inspected the work done on this end of the road Thursday. The party included President P. E. Far- num. Vice President Wade Buckley, Treasurer Oi P. Howell and Directors William Norris, Sol. Van Etten and 0. G. Bennett, The party was accompanied by contractors Hardenburgh and Ford. They rode on the engine from here to Sammitville and returned, and were well satisfied ivith the condition of the road. NOTES. The Poughkeepsie bridge was visited IN T H E CHURCHES TO-MORROW.

A queer incident happened this morning at the Erie crossing on Pike street, A man was crossing the tracks at this place, with a horse and wagon and following in the rear was another horse attached to the wagon by means o f a halter. While they were going across the track, the rear horse becime frightened by the whistling and hissing of locomotives and sprang forward projec ting his body over the wagon ahead. He became tangled between the wheel and body of the wagon and in his effort to ex tricate himself from this position, one of his legs slipped in between the spokes or the wheel, in such a way that it became impossible for the animal to extricate himself. Whereupon the driver stopped and unharnessed the front horse and by turning the wagon over succeeded in get ting the wheel in such a position that the horse could withdraw his leg. H E FOUND BA IL. In the case of the People vs. Jas, Bu chanan, arrested on the charge of man slaughter, of whom mention was made in our issue of yesterday, we are pleased to state that Buchanan through the efforts of his counsel Wilton Bennett esq.,- sue ceeded in procuring the necessary bail late yesterday afternoon and is now with his family.

James Huntington shot a wolf near Monticello last week. It had escaped from Towner s menagerie and was prowl ing around the country at daylight when it came within range of Jim’s unerring rifle. On Friday last Rev. G. T. Galbraith left Liberty for H.dley, N. Y., where he has accepted a call. Mr. Galbraith has been stationed at Liberty for the past three years, and it is with regrA that the people witness his departure.

And people generally manifest a spirit of resignation in the same direction, which is in the highest degree commendable. Pat Lanahan brought a good.sized wild cat to the County Treasurer on Wednes day, and was paid the bounty—$1.50. The animal presented anything but an in- vUing appearance. Pat’s hound had been running a fox part o f the forenoon, but finally struck the trail o f the cat which had probably been prowling around for a Thanksgiving turkey. The animal was found in a spruce tree in the edge of the swamp back of the Carman place; and one discharge from Pat’s unfailing gun brought it down stone dead. Samuel Brome died at his late residence near Hurleyville, Oct. 80, 1888, at the age of 81 years and 6 months. John F.

Kennedy, his wife and daughter retired as usual at an early hour and extinguished all lights. At 5 o’clock Friday morning Mrs. Kennedy got up and called herdaugh- ter, and receiving no answer went to her bedroom and found tbe girl in an uncon scious cOLdition, the room smelling strongly of chloroform, a trunk open and ita contents strewn about the room, and a satchel packed with small articles of jewelery and dress, which the thieves had evidently abandoned in their hasty flight. Down stairs evidences were everywhere visible of the character of the intruders.

A determined effort is being made by the Democratic leaders, inspired hy Sena tor Gorman, to secure control of the next House of Representatives, by having cer tificates of election made out in favor of Democrats in close districts where such certificates can be signed by Democratic state officials. If a Democratic majority of even two or three can be secured upon the organization of the next Congress election contests afterward brought before the House can he passed upon by the Democratic House and the majority in creased. The importance of the scheme can not be overestimated, for if it succeeds a Re publican tax-reduction bill will be im- possib.e for at least two years, and none of tbe Republican territories can become states to give the Republicans increased representation in the Senate House and Electoral College. It is believed that the scheme can not succeed. It is, hewever, the l -si hope of the Democratic managers, and Senator Gorman's intent is shown m the sudden discovery of alleged errors in the counts in several district ^ where Republicans nad previously been declared elected by small majorities. There are nine dis tricts now m doubt and six of these are in the Sjuih, where the election officials who wi 1 make out certificates of election are sjiidiy Deiucciatic. A week ago, for instance, the Demo- ctaiic fcltate Committee of West Virginia CO needed tne eleetlon of two Republican cotgressmen. Since then the Republicans iliege that the plan of “counting in” the Democratic Governor has been oegun and It is certain that the Democrats now claim to have elected every congressman in the state. Thursday night Representa tive Thompson, Secretary of the Demo cratic Congressional Committee, claims a Democratic majority o f one or three in the next House as a result of their work. He counts, however, on the election of Fisher, in Michigan, and Simmons, m North Carolina.
