was madeand the back entrance to the

cers entered. Here they found five
men sitting about the room some with
bottles and others with glasses of beer
in their hands quietly drinking, while
on the table was a bottle of whiskey
and empty glasses enough to have sup-
plied any number of callers. Both Mr.

Intyre with Fahan in search of a
bondsman, Prosecuting Attorney Hon-
necker served a search warrant and
with Constable Ireland they made a
search of the premises and found half
a case of beer. Attorney Honnecker
inquired of Mrs. Fahan for the en-
trance leading from the upper part of
the building to the saloon, but she in-
sisted that there was no way to get into
the saloon excepting from the Main
street entrance. Satisfied that there
Was some way of getting the supply of
liquor upstairs from the saloon Attor-
ney Honnecker took the lamp from off
the table and started to find the hidden
passage. Upon going out of the back
door which leads to the roadway enter-
ing into High street he discovered what
appeared to be a high board fence. A
close inspection showed a door which
he quickly pushed open and thrust the
lamp inside. The rays of the lamp re-
vealed a narrow pair of winding stairs
built on a trestle supported by the
stone wall at the rear of the building.
A lighted lantern was quietly reposing
below and the party headed by Agent
Honnecker descended. Here the mys—
tery was all explained. Out in the yui d
stood a huge ice box, and the rear
glass door of the saloon was boarded
up with a wooden shutter which pre-
vented any one looking in from the
street from seeing what was going on
at the rear. A demand was made upon
Mrs. Fahan for the key to the ice box,
but she said that Mr. Fahan had it.
When the latter returned a similar de-
mand was made upon him and he hasti-
ly assured the attorney that an en-
trance could only be had through the
saloon entrance on Main street, but
when told by Mrs. Fahan that the back
entrance had been discovered he sud-
denly lost the key to the box. Being
told that unless the key was produced
the door would be broken open he
found it in his pocket and turned it
over to Attorney Honnecker. Upon
opening the ice box five full cases of
beer and eleven kegs were found, also
a cask of ale from which ale had been

found standing on the kitchen table.

After the Fahan raid the officers se-
cured teams and drove to' the Gormley
house at the corner of Prospect avenue
and Step Bock Road, where two kegs
and two empty beer cases were seized.
A United States license No. 62416, to
Daniel J. Gormley was hanging on the
wall, which is sufficient evidence to
convict him of selling without a license.
Both Edward Gormley and Daniel J.
were placed under arrest. The former
was sick in bed and was released on his
own recognizance, but Daniel J. was
taken before Justice Austin who re-
leased him on 'bonds of $100 furnished
by John H. Gormley, to appear Tues-
day afternoon at 2 o’clock.

Smit‘h’s island.

EDITOR GAZETTE: An article ap—
peared in the Hour a few weeks since,
regarding Smith’s Island, which ought
to be corrected. The original owner
of the island was Noah Smith, my
great-grandfather. He lived there with
his family for many- years, keeping his
wagons at Belden’s Neck, (now Wilson
Point.) and swam their horses across
and back for the transaction of busi-
ness. My father, the. late Stephen
Smith, was a frequent Visitor there and
I have often heard him tell about it.
One little incident he told me was that

across from the island to the Point,
a distance of one mile, one of her
brothers follotving her in a boat to take
her into in case she became exhausted.

The island was sold to Mr. Sheffield
when the government erected a light-
house thereon. It afterwards passed
into the hands of Gersbom B. smith,
agrandson of Mr. Sheffield. The pres-
ent owners are not any relation that
we know of. No disrespect to the other

invitation and the first to- take advan-
tage of it was Mr. B. W. Maples.

'flis subJect-wasEvéningSchools. He
stated that su'ch'schoolohadb'een estab-
lished infithe borough, but spoke more
particularly or the one held in the. Over.
Bivcfr district bmlding. He saidéthat the
preconce of pohc'emonr‘was desirable in
the vicinity of the buildinz from ‘5’? to
9:30 and thought "that " one could be
spared. for the pufipose between the
hours mentioned. 1 ethen stated that.»
the street upon-whichfthe school was 10--
cated was creoked anthliii't‘the' two
lights at either end of the street had a
a tendency to cast a shadow on the
buildin rather than light. ._Hc said
that he ad himself. taken the liberty to
have alight placed in front of the school
building as there was an urgent need of
the same. If the boron h refused to
pay for it he would be orced to pay
for it himself. He asked the court to
consider both matters, and then retired
from the room. Nothing was said or
done in the matter.

Collector Kemp asked for an abate-
ment of the taxes of the following per-
sons: William Adnms, $3.30 ; Edwin
“Adams, $12; Aaron Byington, 8510; Otto
Depering. $19.80; Conra En el, 81.10;
A. D. Hazzard, 810; John ines, $2 ;
W. Hosegood, $2.20 ; W. B. Hubbell,
$6 ; Jones M’f’g Co., 35.50 ; J. H.
O’Reilly, $5 50; M. D. Randall, $25;
Julia Shepard, 34; Mary A. Williams,
85; Anna Wilson, 34 ; Anna Goodwin,
$8, estate A. E. Smith, 85.60 ; George
N. Waterbury, $3.20 ; Susan St. John,
$111.32. They were all abated with the
exception of the last two mentioned.

In the matter of the abatement of
the Waterbury’s taxes, it was stated
by Burgess 'Sutherland that according
to the law the borough had no right to
abate a man’s taxes on the grounds that
he was a soldier and entitled to exemp-
tion of $1.000 worth of property. Was
not himself in favor of the abatement.

Burgess Chinery also objected to such
abatement on the ground that Water-
bury was as well able to pay as a great
many others. _

The motion to abate said taxes was
lost by a vote of 3 to 2. ~

It was voted to instruct the borough
attorney to file a. lien on the property
taxed against Susan St.John for $111.32.

After a few of the abatements had
been mam; Burgess McMullen made a
motion this the taxes on the entire list
of names read be “debated.” His mo-
tion was seconded by some one in the
lobby.

The petition of George Holmes and
D. Chittim to erect a. frame building on
Center avenue was granted.

A petition was received from the
‘5. of Commissioners asking for $6,000.
It was explained by Commissioner
Coolidge that there was, $6,000 in the
hands of the commissioners, $5,346 of
which would have to be paid out for in-
terest due Jan. lst 1894. Thought that
there ought’to be at least $2,000 left in
their hands for any contingency that
might call for expenditure between now
and the 1st of May. The matter was

The bill for the amount due Blokes-
lee & Son for last payment on the Main
street contract was laid on the table,
pending an examintion of the work by
the borough engineer and the highway
committee.

The police report was read and ac-
cepted.

Burgess Chinery reported that the
boiler of Phoenix engine had been in-
spected by Inspector Fox and but few
repairs to the engine were found nec-
essary.

Burgess Squire suggested a catch ba-
sin be placed in the center of Cross
street and that a pipe to carry off the
surface water be connected with the
same. He estimated the cost at $100.

He also recommended that a catch
basin be placed at the junction of Stu-
art avenue and Stevens street, and it
was so ordered,
by contract. « ,

The chairman of the highway com-
mittee was instructed to have the road
near Mrs. Jonathan Camp placed in
thorough repair.

The chairman of the highway com-
mittee was instructed to pay the men at
work on the stone wall near Mrs. Jona-
than Camp’s as soon as the work was
completed.

M‘essrs. H. Allen, Wallace Dann and
wife, estate of Wm. K. James and es-
tate of Thomas Brady were instructed
to lay a curb and gutter in front of
their premises on Cross street.

The chairman of the committee on
lights was intructed to order the Bloc:
tric Light Co.to remove two large poles'
on Cross street. .

Warden Sloan requested that the
chairmen of the different committees
present all the bills due in their differ-
ent departments at the next and final
meeting of the Court.~

BurgessMcMullen recommended that
an electric light be placed on Plymouth
avenue near the Sticky Plain road.

The court then adjourned to Monday
evening, Dec. 18th.

(Copyright, 1893, by the United Press.)

test of the permanence of the new Casimir-
Pericr cabinet will be delayed until after
the Christmas recess, when the govern-
ment measures, in definite form, will come
under discussion and diversion. -

Pope and French Republic. l-
The most pronounced of all papal de-

liverances in favor of the republic are to ~

be found in the allocution given by Bishop
Pierraud of Autun, just home from Rome.
He says:

“I am proud of the services and glories
of France. The pope suffers with France's
tribulations and trembles at her perils.
He studies with unceasing solicitude to
penetrate all phenomena of the republic’s
life. He wishes to see France united,
truly free and strong,*capable of retaking
her place in the front rank of the world.
Hitherto France has been occupied in pur-
suing the mission of justice and peace
with which Providence visibly has endowed
her. To obtain most rapidly the desirable
fruit of this mission, the Pope implores
‘all French Catholics and all good citizens
to cease weakening their powers by inter-
nal dissentions, to discontinue their quar-
rels on political questions of» secondary
importance, to give up their sectional
differences and to strive unitedly for
general harmony.” ‘

The dc Rahdcns Return to Paris.

The Baroness de Rahdeu, the circus
rider, whose husband was tried this week
at Riom for killing her admirer, Lieut.
Castenskiold, reached Paris last evening
to keep a professional engagement at the
Folies Rergercs. Baron do Rahden re-
mained behind a few hours to recover
from the strain of the trial. Upon arriv-
ing in Paris he went directly to his wife’s
house, where he ate supper with many
friends who had gathered to congratulate
him and the baroness upon his acquittal.
The disclosures at the baron’s trial have
moved Mlle. Astie Valsayre to issue a
manifesto, in the name of the \Voman’s
Suffrage league, protesting against any
woman working to support her husband.

Cost of Entertaining the Russians.

The official expenditure upon the Tou-
lon and Paris fetes in honor of the Bus-
sians has been determined this week. It
was but $775,000. The general feeling. 3
that the money was well spent.
