Mr. Dunninir was recalled and "frave
some statistics about the population or
the city and county. The city of
Scranton in lso had only 4.1,000 Inhab

the number of dams built by the com

ATTORN KY PKPPKR'S AUUl'MKNT
When court returned Attorney tleorgi
Wharton Pepper began his argument
for an injunction, lie snld it could not
be denied that the legislature has the
power to grant to a corporation or
company the exclusive right to the wat
ers of any navigable stream In the
state to use or sell the water. This Is
what the commonwealth had done In
1818 for the Lehigh Coal and Navlga
tlon company with respect to the Le
high river.
This right granted to the Lehigh com
pany did not eston the riparian own
ers along the Lehigh from using 'the
water for domestic purposes or a nea-
sonablu. amount of it for manufactur
ing ourposmS.' Hut the riparian owners
could not take water from the stream
and divert it to non-rluarlan use. such
as the Gas and Water company Is do
Ing by pumping It through a piie line
to the Roaring Hrook, adown which it
tlows twenty miles for use in Scranton.
The argument the defendant makes
that the dams are filled during winter
freshets when the water would anyway
go tu waste, he said, was about on the
same principle as the case of the man
who excused his taking a handful of
shekels from a bag and diverting them
to his ow!' use because it was over
flowing and the owner would not miss
them. '
Ex-Judge Knapp and ex-Judge Hand
argued their side of the case, and In
substance they said that what the
Scranton Gas and Water company has
done In the matter of taking water
from the Lehigh la only In pursuance
of Its charter rights. It was chartered
to supply pure water to the people of
Scranton Tor drinking and -other do
mestic uses, and this is a solemn re-
sponslbllity,"
rhey argued that the Gas and Wated
company's dams on the Lehigh liver
are storage reservoirs to be used only In
case of necessity, and they are tilled
only during the freshets common on the
Lehigh In the winter and spring, ami
that in this way the supply of the plain
tiff's stream Is not diminished a par
ticle, as yie water otherwise would gi
to waste.
MIST PAY fllK" AWARD.
Another One Will probably Hare to Ho
Met r.rc l.nni;.
Notice was yesterduy served by At
torney W . W..-Watson, of the Provl
dence mid Abington Turnpike company,
upon the city officials of the decision
of the supreme court, sustaining the
validity of the contract for keeping the
city s portion or the road In repair, an
directing them to proceed within five
days to put the road.ln proper shape.
As the city has no funds with which
to do this work It is likely that the
Turnpike company will do the work It
self and collect from the city as It did
on the former occasion which brought
about the long and expeimive litigation
terminated Monday by the supreme
court decision.
S. H. Price, the city's special attorney
in the case, yesterday advised Con
trollor Robinson that there was pothlng
to be done now but pay the company
the verdict of $2,200 awarded In the
Lackawanna courts. . The warrant has
been drawn but It is not likely that it
will be turned over until councils take
some action in the matter.

It is probable that the outgrowth of
these meetings will be'the organization
of a- branch of the Volunteers In the
central city. ThoFe who are at the head
of the Volunteers say that their Held
of labor will beewimctwhat broader than
that of the? Salvation army.

VI i s. Uerry says she did not sign over
this deed, but her signature is attached
to It und she explains that it was pro
cured In this manner: Some of her

t have her declared incapa.ble of man

The deed complained of must be among

I.KITKRS FROM THE PEOPLE.
M'nder this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by the writer's
name. The Tribune will not be held re
sponsible for opinions here expressed.
TIIF. AMERICAN Ill A
Kilitorof The Tribune.
Sir: I have read In your columns during
the past Week, under the head of West
Side News, several Items which, judging
from their tenor, ('initiated from some per
son or persons strongly In sympathy with
the Salvation Army. 1 would not nonce
the Items referred, to, but for the fact
that they reflect upon those who lavor
the new organization, known as the Ameri
can Volunteers. Among other things, It
was stated that several of those favoring
the latter organisation had been present
and created a disturbance at the meetings,
in the barracks, on Price street, and ex
cept such actions were discontinued they
would be rcfuscil leliniuancc.
There are no grounds for such a state
ment. There has been.no misconduct on
the part of any one who favors the Vol
unteers. On the contrary, the only mis-
coniluct there was, has been on the part
of the adherents of General Booth and his
non-American methods. Some twenty
members of the Salvation Army tendered
their resignations and before said resig
nations had been actcd upon, the doors
were slammed In their laces and all man
ner of abuse was heaped upon them by
the worshipper of the "genral." ThU
seems to be the recognizee! manner of deal
ing with all who fail to tall In with tli -lr
ileas anil objects.
The treatment accorded the lute captain
I.Mnsland and lieutenant iGreenl by the
loyal ( .') members of the Scranton corps,
after their determination to join the new
movement became known, was harsh. In
tolerant, fanatical and unworthy of civil
ized beings, much less those professing
the name of Christ. Charity forbids going
Into detail and I will draw the veil over
these un-Chrlstian-like actions.
I III t the old adage holds good. "Like dad
dy, like child." The Scranton corps is
only following the example of those high
er in autnority, in tneir uigotry ana ran
nticlsm and the carrying out of their
petty persecutions. Duplicity and dou
ble dealing seem to be the only stock in
trade left to the followers of General
Booth In this country. An Instance of
the new methoils In vogue In the Salva
tion irmy might be elteel In relation to
the late flag presentation to the corps
In this city. The terms of the competi
tion set forth that Brigadier Evans and
saff would present the flags to the suc
cessful corps free of all expense. Did he
do as agreed? Oh, no, his purposes hail
been served, so he semis Mrs. Kvans In
conjunction with a mountebank fMtn
Wllkes-Barre to present the tlHgs an I
taxes the expenses, some $11, upon the lo
cal officers. Why? Because the news had
reacheel headquarters that the captain anil
lieutenant had resolved to cast In their
let with the American movement, and
they must be humiliated before the public
at any cost.
It is not Inr the purpose of stirring up
strife 1 write, but It Is high time that the
public be made aware of these matters.
The Salvation Army appeals to an Ameri
can people for support; then let them not
show such an exhibition of antagonism to
those who love this country before all
others If they expect to receive It. No
un-American Institution can live long here
when Its true character is known. lOven
in spiritual affairs we have no use for u
dictator. Humanity revolts at the idea
or one man ruling the whole religious
world. With the army, Judging from the
recent actions and utterances of Its lead
ers, the "genral" is Just a little bit abuve I
his Lord, und those under him have no
right of conscience save his will. The
conduct or the soldier must be blind obe
dience to the "genral." right or wrong. '
and If any dare to exercise the right of i
e'onscli'iice such an uct Is treason and 1
the guilty one must be branded as a tr.d- e
tor. Alisoliillsm lias no place In the l.'nlt
ed States, the principle Is foreign to our
leleas. we acknowledge no headship save
that of Christ In spiritual matters.
Should Balllngton Booth attempt to es
tablish a one-inun movement In the Vol
unteers, he will llnel the same fate await
ing mm as tne general mis met with here.
