THE DEMAND OF THE SCHUYLKILL
NAVIGATION COMPANY,
And now, on the 17th of September, 18;!,
the Schuylkill Navigation Company presents
to Councils a bill of damages amounting to
four hundred thousand dollars, which the
grievously overburdened taxpayers of Phila
delphia are asked to add to their enormous
liabilities, deficiencies, and debt. For most
of the items in the long and oppressive cata
logue of municipal obligations something
tangible was acquired, but this bill, if paid,
will furnish nothing of permanent value here
after, for it is made up mainly of demurrage,
and of the alleged losses of the canal company.
The contracts made more than forty years
ago forbid the city from using water-power
to propel the Fairmount Works when the
water does not rise to the top of the Fair
mount dam, and as this contract was un
questionably violated, at a time of great pub
lic emergency, the company has at least a
plausible or perhaps a legal claim for damages:
but before the amount is definitely fixed, the
whole subject should be subjected to a
thorough and searching legal investigation.
No controversy whatever could have arisen
on this subject if the precaution of placing
auxiliary steam engines at Fairmount had
been adopted, as it should have been, years
ago. By a timely expenditure of two hun
dred thousand dollars, all the evils of a water
famine would have been averted, and all pre
text for the present bill of four hundred
thousand dollars avoided.
It is useless to grieve over the errors of the
past, but they may serve a salutary purpose if
they warn Councils against the repetition of
simildr blunders of omission or commission,
and impress citizens with the necessity of
guarding against reckless extravagance on the
one hand, and against a postponement of ap
propriations of vital importance ou the
Other.
Whatever action may be taken on the bill
presented by the Schuylkill Navigation Com
pany, the mere fact that they are pressing
such a claim indicates more powerfully than
columns of comments the evils of a dilatory
policy. But while the canal company and
the city have alike suffered by the neglect,
and while there is much in the action of the
Company during the drouth that is commend
able, Councils should be extremely cautious
in passing the appropriation asked for, or
taking voluntarily any other considerable
sum of money from the depleted coffers of
the city treasury, to adjust this difficulty. The
company can seek a remedy in the courts, and
tlt(y can decide what sum Philadelphia should
and mvst pay, under the circumstances, with
greater exactness than Councils, who have thus
far heard but one side of the story.
The drouth of the present season has been
nnprecedentedly severe. It is an event beyond
the scope of ordinary calculations and con
tracts a visitation of Providence fur which
courts would be almoxt as slow to award dam
ages resulting from unforeseen coniiugencies,
as for the disasters accruing from a tornado
or an earthquake.
Is it absolutely certain that the unparalleled
low stage of water would not have obstructed,
to some extent, the operations of the canal
company, even if the city had not violated its
contract ? Terhaps so. Still, the fact should
be distinctly proven.
As the company undertakes to supply water
power not only to the city but to other cus
tomers, and as they have been subjected to
great loss by a failure to obtain the amount
needed for their various purposes, is it not, in
turn, liable to suits for a violation of its con
tracts? Perhaps not, but still this subject
may be worthy of investigation, especially if
it shall appear that the company has not been
diligent and effective in providing ample
supplies of water, at all seasons, and in spite
of drouths, by erecting sufficiently capaoious
dams or reservoirs at or near the head waters
of the Schuylkill.
Even if no defense can be found in either
of these suggestions, is not the amount
of damages claimed by the President of the
canal company excessive ? On its face it
certainly appears to bo. By the last annual
report made to the Auditor-General it appears
that navigation opened about the 25th of
March and closed on the 0th of December, the
season of operations exceeding eight months.
The. total receipts during that period from
tolls were loss than one million of dollars,
being at the rate of less than one hundred
and Iwenty-five thousand dollars per month
during the boating season. And yet, for an
interruption of its operations during a period
of excessive drouth in 18fi!, for about one
month, the people of Philadelphia are asked
to nav the round sum of four nuncirea tnou
sand dollars, or more than one-third of the
ntire revenue of the company during 1H03
Btress is laid upon the amount of damages
, tfrioto the boatmen, but the last report of
the company states that the number of boats
it owned was about 7."0, while the number of
boats owned and run by private parties was
about 1W), so that four-fifths of the business
appesrs to be transacted, to a large extent,
on the company's own account, and it would
probably receive a lion's share of any sum
awarded for demurrage. But whether this
money is all payable to the boatmen or the
company, or to both, Councils owe it to the
citizens of Philadelphia, in the present state
of the city finances, to have every item of
this claim carefully scrutinized, and to refuse
to advance a cent which the company has not
an indisputable right to demand.
Another cnreless switchman has been the
occasion of a railway disaster in which several
persons were injured, some of them severely,
and a number of cattle were killed. As there
is no hope of inflicting any punishment on
this criminal for his disregard of the sacred
ness of human life, cannot Mr. Bergh,
as President of the Society for Preventing
Cruelty to Animals, do something towards
bringing him to justice ? The accident hap
pened in his jurisdiction, and he should move
in the matter at once.
Stiix another rumor about the designs of
the Emperor, in connection with his failing
health. This time he proposes to abdicate in
favor of his son, retaining, however, the
Presidency of the Council. With a boy of
thirteen on the throne, and Napoleon at the
head of the Council, it would not be difficult
to discover the real Emperor.
OBITUARY.
Rev. Brn.taniln Dorr, I. I.
The Rev. Bwijamln Dorr, 1). D., rector of CUrlat
Church, in this city, died at his residence in German
town at an early hour this morning. Dr. Dorr had
been in quite feeble health for about a year past, his
nervous system especially being greatly prostrated.
Congestion of the brain resulted, and terminated his
long and useful career as a Christian minister.
Dr. Dorr was born in the town of Salisbury, Massa
chusetts, in the year 1T96, and was therefore in the
seventy-fourth year of his age at the time of his
decease. He received a thorough and liberal educa
tion, graduating at Dartmouth College In the year
1817, Bishop Chase, of New Hampshire, having been
one of his classmates at this Institution. On
leaving college, he entered upon the study
of the ministry, becoming one of the two lirst
students at the now flourishing Episcopal Theologi
cal Seminary In New York city, his comptinlon
having been, we believe, the late Bishop Donne, of
New Jersey. His honorary degree of Doctor of Di
vinity was conferred by the University of Pennsyl
vania In 1S.1H, a yeur after lie bucuine rector of Christ
C hurch, in this city.
Previous to comtug to this city Dr. Dorr was in
charge of two dlnVrent churches in the vicinity of
Troy, N. Y., discharging the double duties at the
same time. He resigned these charges on being ap
pointed Secretary and Gcueral Agent of the Domestic
Committee of the Episcopal Board of Missions, with
his headquarters In New York, but the duties of the
position were such that he was required to devote a
great deal of his time to travel In all parts of the
country. On the 9tli of March, 1837, he was unani
mously called by the vestry of the historic Christ
Church of this city to its pulpit. This call was ac
cepted on the 23d of the same month, and on the 4th
of May following he was duly Installed la his new
Held of labor by the late Bishop Ondeidonk.
For over thirty years, therefore, this eminent di
vine remained at the head of a church whose history
is so closely associated with that of the city, especi
ally in the Revolutionary period. Bishop White had
been elected an assistant minister of Christ Church
and St. Peter's, then united, in 1772, becoming rector
in 1779, and continuing to fill the pulpit after his
elevation to the Bishopric until his death In 1838, a
period of association with Christ Church of full
sixty-four years. The Rev. John Waller James, his
successor, survived him but one month, and less
than a year elapsed before Dr. Dorr was
called to the rectorship. Bishop White and Dr.
Dorr tjms in succession, with this interval
of but a few months, labored in one field
for nearly a century, three years only being lacking
to complete the extraordinary period. In May, 1839,
Dr. Borr was elected to the Blshoprio or Maryland,
but he declined the proffered promotion, choosing
rather to remain In the sphere which he fouud so
congenial. About seven years ago the Rev. Edward
A. Foggo was elected assistant minister, this aid In
the discharge of the duties of the parish being ren
dered necessary to Dr. Dorr by the iuQrmltles
of years.
As a minister Dr. Dorr was extremely popular and
very successful. He was a man of winning man
ners, of great eloquence, and of deep earnestness,
and his death will leave a blank which will exteud
far beyond the limits of his nominal parish. He
leaves three daughters and one son, the latter being
now absent with Dr. Hayes in the Arctic regions. An
other son, Captain W. W. Dorr, was killed in the
battle of the Wilderness. For many years previous
to his death the deceased had been one of the Trus
tees of the University of Pennsylvania.
