THE CAPTAIN ONLY SMILED. Ciiptaiu Edwards, who was ut head quarters at the time, heard his story to the end and then smiled a cruel. heartl"SH smile, that chased the sun light from Charley's face with the rnpldity of thought. "I'm afraid," said the captain,' "that you have got the wrong man." Poor Lowry stood for a mom nt as if benumbed at the thought that be could have made u mistake. Impossible," he said. "S.'e that scar on the buck or bis head?" But that was the only mark that in any way answered the description of Ma dnln. According to the description given m The TiiiiiiNE on June ;iD.

Is What Members it Select Coun cil Believe. Previous to the meeting of select council lust evening several members discussed the reasons udvauced bv Citv Solicitor Burns why the bridge bonds cannot be legally issued. Mr. Bums is quoted ns saying that the Linden street bridge ordinance is technically faulty in not stating that tho bridge shall begin "ut tho loot or Linden str.-et. and that no tiro. vision has been made against damages aocrning from property which has not yet been condemned. Two ordinances which were passed in 18113 and amoudol last spring are said to cover theso points, us follows: File of Select Council, No. 75, 1893, amended in select council March 8. 18114 "An ordinance appropriating private uro perty for the purpose of securing and con structing approaches and abutments for a hnde proposed to be erected over the Lackawanna river at tho foot of Linden street.

Several members eiDresied tluir opinion that there are no fliws in either the 'Roaring Brook or Linden street bridge ordinances which will of themselves permit a nullification of the measures.

In the case of Patrick Corr against the county of Lackawanna the supreme court yesterday reversed the court of this county. Corr was one of the auditors Of tbe borough of Dickson City and charged the commissioners of this county JO for receiving the nomination papers of the borough, filling out certific ates of watchers, arranging b illots, correcting proof and distributing ballots prior to the municipal election of February, 1S93. This bill the commissioners re fused t pay, contending that they had nothing to do with the comnensation of borough auditors. A case stated was then ngreod upon to determine whether tbe county was liable for the payment of the bill. Judge Archbald held that while Corr might have recovered from the county the expenses of getting the ballots into the hanils of the proper election officers, such us cartage, expressuge, etc., and any necessary traveling expanses by rail, carriage or otherwise, if any such expenses were iucnrrnl, bo could not recover from the county anything like n per diem compensation, and entered judgment for the defendant with costs An nppeal from this judm-nt was taken to l lie sum-erne court which bus reversed Judge Archbald and decided tiiat the county must! pay Mr. Corr's bill. This will mean considerable ad ditional expense to the county in the matter of conducting elections. In ti.e cas of Lmce against tho L hign nud Wilkes-Barro Coal company. an appeal trom the common pleas of Philadelphia county, judgment was affirmed, and in the case of Finnegaa against tho township of Foster, from the common pleas of Luz rne county, judgment wus ulo alhrmei.

Oil from the Mills, ATTORNEYS REACH SETTLEMENT But the Arguments on Doth Sides Woro Heard Before tho Conclusion Was Arrived At President Scran ton Denied Firmly That Ho Made Any Threats and Is Corroborated by Mr. Reeves Who Was Present. The important proceedings in the petition of the Lackawanna Iron and Sleel company to make the prelimin ary injunction permanent restraining the Scranton Gas niiiT Water coinpnny from shutting off the water supply rom the mills and property ol the plaiutiff were given the attention of Judges GutiBter and Eiwaria in court vtsterduy. The attorneys for tho Lackawanna Iron and Steel company were M. E. 01 instead, of HarriBburs:; Hamilton Wallace, of New York and Joseph O'Brien, of this cily. For the Gas and Water company Attorneys Alfred Hand, nud I. II. Burns ap peared. Mr. OlniBtead opened the case by be inning bis argument to continue the injunction. He reviewed the contracts between tho plaintiff and defendant companies and sn Emitted them iu ar gument. In 1371 it was mutually agreed betwcn the Scranton (ias and Watet company nud tbe Lackawanna Iron and Coal company that $1,800, the price exacted by the Gas and Water company for water service to the plaintiff, would be promptly paid each year. This contract remained in force until 1HN1, when h disruption occurred be tween the officers of both companies, which resulted in the water being stopped from the mills and furuacos of the steel company at n time when heavy contracts for rails were being tilled. THE SECOND CONTRACT. Another bargain was tlun arrived at and it was stipulated that from the late of the contract the u is and Water company agreed not to shut off the water from tue plum till a properties in case of dispute. The contract price was the sum of $10,000 annually, Three years iiuu the Lackawanna Iron and Coal company and the Scran ton Steel company merged into one under the uew title, the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company. All the rights of contract with tho Gas and Water company reverted to tbe new concern; mil at the time or the purchase of the South work, tho Uas and Water com pany brought suit against the old com puny for a little over :f(JO,000,und later a it suit was instituted against the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company for $30,600. These suits were brought for water bills for the consumption of water by the steel company to which it was not entitled, it is alleged, by any provision iu the contract. Tho Gas and Water oompany repeat edly sent bills to the steel company for these claims, and niter waiting a reas onable time finally brought suit Chief Euinneer Henry Wehrum, of the Lack awanna Iron and Steel comnanv. as serted to have had a conversation with W. W. Scranton, president of the Scranton Gas and Wuter company, in which that gentleman threatened, un less these bills were paid, that the sun ply of water would be shut off from the mills. Tbe threat alleged to have been uttered by Mr. Scranton was re sponsible for tbe bringing of this in junction. Mr. Wehrum was called to the stand to testify to tbe fact or Mr. Scrauton's threat. OUJKCT TO THE TESTIMONY, A legal battle nro?o at this point be tween the attorneys relative to the ad mission of oral testimony. The con tention of tbe attorneys for the defend ant was that all testimony should be produced in aOidavit form. Mr. Wehrum was allotted to testify and he stated that he met Mr. Scranton on Lacka wanna avenue on March 14 The lat ter accosted tbe witness in this form: "Well, Wehrum; how about the water money?" Mr Wehrum said, "I don't know anything about it." To this Mr. Scranton replied, "Why don't you tell your people to pay their bills. I ilou t want to make any threats, but you can tell Carl not to be surprised to S.-e the water shut olt Mr. Wehrum communicated the re marks to General Manager C. W. Mc- Kinney, who was put upou the witness stand and testified tu the fact of being so told by Mr. Wehrum, and he added that about six weeks ago Mr. Scrautou complained of the waste of water at the blast furnace and threatened to cut oft' the supply uulesa the wuste was stopped. ElwitiF. Ilallieli?, president of the Lackawanna Iron una tneel company. was tho next witness. He gave a list of the properties owned by the com puny and also testified that in 1830 the Gas and Water company bad put in claims for nmoilnls that the Steel com pany did uot consider it entitled to, consequently the bills were uot paid and the Gas and Wuter company re tallatcil ny shutting or the water, caus lug the mills to BUipeud and doing in calculable damage to the Steel com- paiiv. At this point the different con iructs and papers were offered in evi dence. J. E. Higuinson, secrotary-treasurer of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel com pany, gave testimony of the monthly payments made, lor water, aggregating a total sum of $10,000 u year. The aiguuiein of the defendant was begun iu liiH afternoon. W. W, Scran do we sell it so cheap? Where do you get it? How long will you sell it for 25c? It's just as good as the tea I paid 50c. for. Such ex pression.3 are constantly heard from those who have been fortunate enough to secure some of our "Yoko hama" Tea. Some take 5 pounds for $1. Twenty pounds is the limit. E. G.-COURSEN, j 429 Lacka. Ays. ton was callei to the stand. He said that the daily consumption of water nae.1 at the mills nud properties of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company averages 1.500.000 gallons, for which the sum of 10,000 is annually paid to ue water company, the price, Mr. Scranton thought, was a rednood one. The Sttel company was given the bens- fit of special rates because of the enor mous iiiuount of water used. Mr. Scranton denied t'.iat he nndj any threats to Air, Weiii'um. What he s ild was that his compmy considered it it right, which it hud the privilege of reserving, that the water unuld be shut of from customers who lo not pay their bills, nud he aUo said I hat the G.is and Water company claimed an a right the priviloge of shutting oil water when it is uot used according to contract. In the original contract there was no provision, nor has there been any luc uded since, of sup plying water to the mule burns, or for supply condensers, boshes and tuyers at the mills. Superintendent Robert Reeves wue tho uext witness for tbe defense. He said that be was present when the conversation took place between Mr. Scranton and Chief Lngineer Welirum. there was no throat made by .Mr. Scranton regarding the shutting off of the water supply from. the mills of the Lackawanna Iron und Steel company, THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED. With the testimony of Mr, Rueves the case ended and the attorneys on both sides got togother and agreed to dissolve the injuuetion, with the un derstanding that the water supply will not be Bhut off until the two suiis brought by the Gus and Water com pany are settled. These suits are ou the list for the October term of com mon pleas court, but it may be two years before the cases nre called. Thus euded one of the most impor tant cases ever brought in the courts of Lackawanna county. REV. DR. COLVILLE'S CHANGE. Acoepted a Call from the Presbyterian Chuioh of Jameitcwa, If. Y. Rev. G. M. Colville, D. D who eight years ago was pastor of the Simp son Methodist Episcopal church of the WeBt Side, bus left the Methodist fold and become u Presbyterian, having ac cepted a call from the First Presbv teriun church of Jamestown, N.

Next Sunday the pulpit will bo supplied by the kov. iiuaui Lai gar, of Curuondafe. It is understood that one of Dr. Col ville's main reasons for leaving the Metho dist church was the time limit, lie ob jected to this because bethought it did not give tbe miniHtor a tair chnnce.
