RESTRAINING ORDER MADE
It Wilt Hold Matters in Statu Ouo at
Mcatlville.
I'OX ,11 BY COILD NOT AGREE
JuJe lliiffiiigion at 8 O'clock I. list
Night Kvlicycd the Jurors from
Further Consideration of the
Cuso The Sentences Imposed.
After the I'nited Stntes court opened
yesterday morning argument on the !
application of Thomas S. JlcFaiiancI, of
New York, a stockholder of the Mead- I
vllle Water company, for an Injunction
against the city of Meadville to pre-;
vent the latter from Increasing her In- j
debtedness to construct water .works, i
was resumed before Judge liutlington. !
It is contended bv those who ask for!
the injunction that if tho bonded in- j
debtedness of the city of MeiulvUlu Is
increased $7i,0iW as proposed, It will
place the iudebtedneBS of that city
ibove the percentage specilled by the
constitution. In support of this asser
tion they show that the .taxable prop- j
erty in th.' city is assessed at $2,o::o,UiW.
The Indebtedness of the city hi $110,
101.17, which Is within Jul.Wid.s;! of the
amount llxed by law. I
After listening to the arguments of
counsel Judge llulilngtoii made an ,
order as follows; "Alter hearing the j
arguments und the allldavlts of counsel ;
and on due consideration thereof, we
decline to grant a restraining order to
restrain the city of councils of the city j
of -Meadville from opening and receiv
ing bids for the construction of a vvator
plant as advertised for. It is, however,
ordered that a restraining order do
issue restraining (he said city councils
from entering into work and from Issu
ing bonds until the further order of the
court, with leave to both sides at uny
time on five days' notice to counsel of
record, at any time after April 6, to file
any further affidavits and to move to
dissolve or to Issue an Injunction. This
order being made pending the still fur
ther consideration of the motion to
dismiss."
Mold Matters in Statu Ouo.
This restraining order holds matters
In statu quo, pending the decision of the
court on the question of jurisdiction
raised by the defendants. What future
action will bp taken remains to be seen.
The water works fight at Meadville
lias been the prolific source of much
contention in that city for some past.
In 1X74 the people of Meadville" decided
not to construct Its own water plant,
and 'thereupon gave permission to the
.Meadville Water company to lay its
pipes ami supply the city and Its inhab
itants with water. The company w.is
organized by a number of the promin
ent citizens of Sleiidvllle, and works
constructed at a cost of $182,000.
Some time ago the people of Slead
vllle decided to own the water plant
themselves nnd for a year and a half
overtures for the sale of the AVater i
company's property to the city have!
been under consideration. An agree- j
ment was not arrived at nnd the city
then took steps to ep.ct its own plant
The proceedings now before the I'nited
States circuit court are for the pur
pose of preventing the consummation of
this plant.
The cuse was ably conducted before
the court, ex-Judge Heydrick and At
torney Illram L. Ithlchmond appear
ing for the complainant nnd City So
licitor Authur L. Bates, G. W. llasklns,
E. W. SieArthur and Thomas Buddy for j
the city of Sleadvllle. j
The only case tried In the district I
court yesterday was against Charles N.
Fox, who Ib charged with having taken
a letter from the postofnee at Luzerne
borough which was addressed to John
Fox. The letter was mailed at Wlll
iamsport on Oct. 2 and contained a
check for $15.40. On Oct. 5, It is al
leged that Fox had the check cashed
mt Wllkes-iBarre. The postmaster at
Luzerne recognized the prisoner as the
person who received the letter.
Defense IVus an Alibi.
"The defendant was represented by
Attorney D. O. Coughlln. He went on
the stand and swore that he was on a
business trip to the North Mountain
at the time the letter was taken from
the postolllce. The jury retired at 3.30
p. m. and at 8 o'clock had not agreed
upon a verdict. Judge BufTlngton dis
charged the jurors from further Con
sideration of the case and Fox will be
again arraigned at the Pittsburg term
for his offense. The court was formnlly
adjourned after the Fox case had been
disposed of.
During the afternoon Judge llufllng
ton Imposed the following sentences:
Jacob Sokltits, taking a valuable let
ter from the postofllce at Duryea ad
dressed to Marie Forstater, $1 fine nnd

at CeJnr Avenue Methodist i:plscopul
dirndl.
Investigation, It Is reported, has de- I
Veloped the fact that Mark Sayers, the
young man employed at the Luckawan- !
tia Knitting mills on llrook street, has .
established his light to a part of the
$200,000 estate left by a relative of bis !
who died in New York recently without ;
any Immediate heirs. About a month I
ugo the story went the rounds that Say
ers would soon come Into possession o
a handsome sum. He did not place
much credence in the matter, and was
content to pay no attention to the
-agreeable news.
But Everett B. Campbell, of Mlnoolta,
the foreman of the department where
Sayers is employed, Insisted on writing
! for information to New York and a re
ply came from the admlnisf rator that
I contained the assuring statement thnt
, Sayers will come In for a share of the
! estate if he can establish his Identity,
j This, Mr. Hayersl thinks, is a very easy
matter and he proposes to begin to do It
I without delay. The amount that he is
likely to get Is said to be one-fourth of
the entire property, there being three
others whose relationship to the de
ceased will entitle them to a part of the
j estate.

Application V III lie Mudo to the Court
for n New Trial.
Mrs. Jennie E. Brink, In her suit for
damages against the borough of Dun-mort-,
was awarded yesterday a verdict
of $736. That is $14 less than the amount
sued for. When the testimony on both
sides was Mulshed Thursday afternoon
the attorney . presented law points to
the court to pass upon In charging the
jury.
There was a two-slib'd defense to the
case. Attorneys Burns and Duggan
were In the Interest of the borough nnd
they maintained that the Illegal nets
of tho councllmen should not throw the
burden of responsibility for damages
upon the borough. Sir. SIcDonabl was
attorney for the councllmen and he ar
gued that Mi's. Brink hud no action for
damages; thut, on the other hand, her
property hud been benefited and en
hanced In value byl the opening of
Blukoly street. A motion for a nonsuit
was refused by Judge Edwards. The
attorneys for the defense will file rea
sons for a new trial In a week.

Purdy, the ejectment suit of Michael

so few cases have been cleared from the

suit and the engagement of attorneys
in other cases on trial.

Mrs. M, T. Richards' Lectures.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: 1 havo read with continued Inter
est the synopses furnished by your papjr
of tho series of lectures delivered by Mrs.
Richards iion English literati, but In
your Issue of yesterday 1 was surprised
to find that she ranks Kir Wnlter Scott as
tho greatest writer of the nlnetoenth cen
tury. I prufur to believe that this Is a
misstatement on the part of the reporter
rather than an error of Judgment on tho
part of the lady.
ChaHlea Dickens is conceded on all
hands to be the best know n English novel
ist of the century, ami this Is a reliable
indication of his gruutness. But there ure
safe and distinct methods of gauging the
greatness" of the two men without mak
ing an odious comparison of their works.
the lecturer lays great stress upon tho
services rendered by Scott In recalling thu
customs and practices of the by-gono
centuries as he presumed they existed in
the wilds of Caledonia. It is exceedingly
doubtful, If his descriptions were correct,
probably they were mere fiction, but
grunted thnt they were absolutely faithful
roproductiotis, then I usk what practic il
benefit is derived from the description of
tho lives of tho Scottish knights and
their boors'.' What asststanru does it glva
in solving the great problems of tho pres
ent day? Their paltry actions were buried -
In the obscurity of unes und their bein:
broueiit forth to the light of (lay served
but little practical purpose to uny one, ex
cept, perhaps, those persons possessed of a
morbid craving for fantastic tales of a for
gotten past.
What a grand picture, however, Is pre
sented In u study of the life of Dickens.
In "Nicholas Nickleby" und "Oliver
Twist" ho evinced a sympathy for the
poor, the suffering und the oppressed,
which took nil hearts by storm. It was
this rare power of sympathy, no doubt,
which made his name a household word
In English homes. How many a phase of
cruelty and wrong his pen exposed, and
how often he stirred others 'to try ut
least to lessen the amount of evil and at.
suffering which must be over abroad in
the world, will never be fully known.
The "greatest" man must be the man
who accomplishes tho greatest good for
the greatest number, be it by writing,
philanthropy, politics or any other good
Means. It' the test be fairly and Impartial
ly made the name of Scott will pule inio
comparative lusiiinlllcunco by that of
Charles Dickens, the greatest writer of
the nineteenth century. Yours obediently, -I)avid
Jones.
