The Town council and tho water com.
pany cannot agree on terms for n public
water supply, nnd for that reason tho
plugs have been cut olt from the mains
and the town Is now nt the mercy of the
flames. The water company nsks $1,000
a year for live years, nnd the council has
offered 800 for one year. There Is not
so much difference between them but what
the matter can lie adjusted, and the law
provides nn ensy remedy. Where nny
tax payer thinks thnt tho town Is paying
too much for water he can nppenl to tho
court by n bill In equity nnd the whole
subject can ho brought up, and after a
full hearing the court can leduce the
charges or dismiss the bill. It has no
power to incrensu the price. I he water
company lias expressed its willingness to
submit the case lu this manner, and the
council ought to meet them half way. The
present condition of things Is not only
perilous for all property owners, but it is
Injuilous to tho prosperity of our town.
No capitalists will invest here and very
few new-comers mny bo expected to innke

To Tiir. Pcot'i.K of Columbia Corsrv.
Justice demands that we the undersigned
answer the calumny cast upon our motives,
n tho last lasuu of the Cblumbmn, because
wo honestly decldcd,after u careful consid
eration of all the facts and circumstances
that tho county would bo better served, In
the shortest time, with better woiktiinu
ship and material, nnd get tho most for tho
money, under the bid of H. F. Hawko nnd
Co. in building tho proposed addition to the
Court House, than from nny other bid,
although several hundred dollars above
others. So far as wo acted lu the case, wo
did as we believed then and now, purely
for the best interests of t.io county, with
out oiler of or consent to favor, and
whether or not the building will be erected
by tho present board is a question for

Wo admit without hesitation all the state
ments made In this card, except one, and
that Is that the Coix'mman contained nny-
thing like calumny. The definition of this
word is "the false accusation of a crime or
offense, knowingly or maliciously niadu or
eporled, to the injury of another; false
representation of facts reproachful to
another, made by design, and with knowl
edge of its falsehood." We defy any onu
to point out lu the Columiii.vn any accusa
tion of crime or offense, false or otherwise;
nnyuc representation of the facts that were
cproachful to the commissioners. 1 hey
nlsunderstand us entirely when they ac
cuse us of attempting to e.ilumuiato them.
Wc have no fight with the county conimis-
loners, but when their actions shall not bu
such as meets tho approval of the people
the Col.l'MlilAX will never hesitate to criti
cise. Wc believe that they acted honestly,
but at tho samo time hastily, and as soon
us the tine condition of things wns presented
to their view, they at onco abandoned their
position, and now statu publicly
thnt owing to opposition from various
sources they will do nothing towards an
addition to the Court House. So far
ns the reason given in their card for
awarding the contract to Hawko & Co , is
concerned, wo belluve that it should be
taken for the truth, and that all suspicion
of dishonest motives on their part should
bo cast aside.

An liiBUrunco Company gives thu fol
lowing practical suggestions on appplying
water on fires. "Firemen would do well
to bear lu mind that one gallon of water at
thu bottom of a lire will do more to quench
it than ten gallons at thu top, "Play low
li tho true motto for the firemen, To play
on the root of a house on tire Is to wastu
water ; bo sine to play low ; get the water
near the tiro and then you need not pour
on a river. A few gallons ut tho bottom of
n tiro will ilso In clouds of steam when thu
tiro Is rising, and quench It. A gill of water
thrown Into thu bottom of a gratu equals a
quart thrown on top. For a similar reason
water on thu windward sldu Is inoro effect
Ivu than on the leeward. Tho hlg blau
on thu leeward looks fearful, but It cannot
bo elfected by playing on Hint sldo. Throw
waler In tho bed of coals under tho rctoit
that Is sucking tliem nnd It will go out,
that is to say, play at the bottom of thu
windward sldo of n llru and you take thu
speediest way to quench thu whole leeward
side, thu blaze Included.
This advice would no doubt, be very
valuable to our firemen If they had any.
thing to light tire with, but as the town at
present has no water for llro protection nil
this talk about where to throw it to do thu
most good Is of llttlu value,

Mmicli Chunk.
A IdllK OVUU 'lltK SWITCH-HACK,
Mauch Chunk Is well named the "Switz
erland of Ameilcn." It Is nestled down In
u nlley nnd on- nil sides high peaks lift
their heads In the air, wanting nothing but
snow caps on their crowns to make one be
llcvo he Is lenlly among the Alps. It Is
hard to see why n town should havo been
laid out In such a location, but when we
remember that this was one of the first
points where coal was discovered, and that
there Is no place near, that ollered any
better location wc can better understand It.
Every body who goes to Mnuch Chunk
lakes a ride over the famous "Swltch.Rack"
railroad. Starting from the hotel in n
coacli drawn by four horses you are carried
up to East Mnuch Chunk, a distance of
only a half mile, and there wait for the
train. Soon it appears in sight running nt
a rapid rate, and ns it approaches the sta
tion it halts suddenly. The "train" consists
of one car, with seats extending across the
whole width, and n roof overhead, the sides
and ends being open. The engineer is
vomi2 man who sits by the lirnke, nnd
starts and stops the car. There is no en
gine, no motive power, not even a mule,
no smoke, no dust, no bent. Tho car runs
entirely by gravity. Leaving the station
wo move olT, gradually increasing the
speed, until wo havo reached n velocity of
twenty-live miles an hour. Soon wo turn
n sharp curve and find ourselves looking
up an inclined plane twenty-three hundred
feet long, and as wo were told fifteen hun
dred feet hluli. Up this plane the car Is
drawn by a truck which is provided wltl
numerous arrangements to prevent nccl
dents. At the top of the piano we nre on
Mount Pisgah. Hern n mngiilllclent view-
Is afforded. On both sides wo look down
on the valleys beneath, where towns are
scattered hero and there, the river winds in
and out among the hills, and the railroads
Intersect each oilier in all directions.
Starling from this point we begin tho de
scent, and running for nine miles, we come
to the foot of another plane and are again
hoisted to the top of a mountain, and Unci
ourselves In u little village called Summit
Hill. Hero we stop for twenty minutes,
and aro conducted by small boys who oiler
themselves as guides, a short distance to
the burning mine. Smoku issued from thu
surface of tho ground, anil we wero told
that the lire had been burning for forty
years, and every effort to extinguish It has
died. Coal was first discovered at this
point in 1707 but nothing much was done
with it until about 1812, when they began
to quarry it. In 182 1 the railroad over
which wo came back to Mnuch Chunk, was
dd out, being onu of tlie first In tho
country. A nine mile inn, and a most
lellghlful ride, brought us to the starting
point, where thu coach awaited us and we
eturned to the hotel. Tho Episcopal
Church of Mauch Chunk is one of the
handsomest In the State. Thu widow of
Asa Packer has just presented the puiish
with a grand building containing a chapel,
Sunday school room, library eve. There is
n line new town hall, and several excellent
lotels. The Mauch Chunk Dmoetut ow ned
ly Judge Hairy E. Packer, and edited by
R. W. Itrodhead, an ablo journalist, is the
leading paper of the county. Court wns lu
session last week, and on Wednesday
morning wo dropped in for a few moments.
Judge Dreher was on the Ueueh. He is
oue of the prominent Common Pleas Judges
of tho State.
Mauch Chunk Is a summer resort that Is
visited bv largu numbers of city people,
and we know of no more pleasant place to
spend a few weeks than in this town among
the mountains.

For church fairs mid festivals there an
two principal seasons. The oyster season
reaches Its height at midwinter. The straw.
berry season begins about the present time,
but was this year n,littlci'ctnided by thu kite-

the strawberry are the representative ele.
incuts of aid to church citturpilsca needing
cash and to Iho exhausted tieasuiies of be
