But the rain was only brief and In the Thirteenth's imp, especially, there was much of lnvlality. That this feeling of superior ly over the other regiments was war inted was evidenced by a remark by ! neral (tobln to Major Oakford. of -lantern, and of the Third brigade '.r.ff. He said he saw no reason why ' Thirteenth should not maintain its h mamling.

The ration issue to the Pennsylvania guards Is one of the most liberal in existence, including that of govern ments. .Major Millar, who Is one of the 'n spectois Blasting Colonel Mo.-;ll, t, Inspector-General, has spent over 12 hours per ;!ny In the saddle since Sun day. Private Foster, of Company D, was select?.! u' guard mount for Colonel Coursen's orderly today. His was the third seieitiou from Company D since camp opened; Company A has been honored twice. Amateur photographers are numer ous. Their bent Is apparently to secure snap shots of ludicrous scenes in which the central figures would probably not cure to have their friends at home wit ness. W. C. Scott, first sergeant and com pany clerk of Company B, was told by the regulur army officer to whom was delivered the company's papers at brig ade headquarters, that the set was the first out of three brigades that was complete and that did not require some question or explanation. One of Company C's compliments at Inspection was that Its treasurer's re port was the first received that exact ly compared with the counter-record In the adjutant general's department. First Lieutenant Raub Is the treasurer of the company; the papers were pre pared by W. S. Gould, the company clerk. A swarm of bootblacks, "bummers" und "strikers," each Included In the category of "camp followers" are with the Thirteenth In large numbers. They are a sort of disreputable and hap hazard lot and their presence In camp might be objected to, but for the fact that they are useful In many emer gencies, seem willing to perform almost any kind of labor and are loyal to the companies to which they have attached themselves. Daily heated controver sies uniting them and an occasional lipht over the proticiency of their adopt ed companies ure the rule. They sleep on the mess tent benches, get their food no one knows how, gamble at craps and cuds hull' of the time und ure us interested In the doings of the regi ment a 4 though they formed a recog nized pait of it. Private Young, of Company D, who ears ull the state marksmanship badges that have been Issued, save in lS'.'i when the Thirteenth's team con lined its efforts to winning the matches trorn New York's Seventh and Twenty third regiment teams at Creedtnoor, is attracting no little attention, in inspection his display of medal troph ies was noticed by all the inspectors, one of whom remarked that "Private Young must go out of the shooting business if utiyone else wus to get a chance at marksmanship notoriety." He and Prlvute Stone, also of the rltle leuni, und of Company D, reached here Tuesday noon and returned to Scruuton today.

WATER SUPPLY FOR JERMYN BOROUGH Pros and Cong of the Situation Argued Before Judf e Qunster. CONTENTION OF THE LITIGANTS Water Company Claims That Its Valuable Improvements Will Be Rendered Useless if the Borough Constructs Its Own Water Works. Mount Vernon Street Railway In Junction Prococdings-.Intcresting Point Raised. Two equity cases were heard before Judge Qunster in chambers yesterday. In the morning a hearing took place In the case against Jerniyn borough, where the action was brought to re strain the borough from constructing a water works to supply the town with water from an artesian well, now be ing bored. The other case was heard In the afternoon. It was the action to restrain the Mount Vernon Street Rail road company from laying Its tracks in the borough of Winton. In the first named case Attorneys A. J. Colborn, Jr., E. C. Newcomb and I. II. Burns represented the defendant, and ex-Judge Jessup, C. H. Wells and S. B. Price were attorneys for the plain tiff. The people of Jermyn are at pres ent supplied with water by the Jer myn & Rushbrook Water company. Those who object to the increase of Indebtedness are members of the com pany and others are heavy tax payers. It is alleged that according to law the borough could not legally vote to In crease the Indebtedness, because the law under which the proposed Increase has been ussumed, hus been declared by the Supreme court to be unconstitu tional. . SOME OF THE TESTIMONY. Burgess John F. Nicholson swore to the ordinance which was passed au thorizing the vote on the increase of Indebtedness to be taken. J. D. Stock er. of the Jermyn & Rushbrook Water company, wus put under oath and he said that the company had tunneled .from Chapman luke to the watershed of Hay creek at a cost of $15,000 to pro cure a pure water supply. Altogether the compwny has expended ubout $lon, 000. He told of the damage that would result if the company should be de prived of the patronage of the people of Jermyn, which would be the cuse if the borough constructed its own wat er works. Judge Jessup argued at length on the iillegajlty of the ordinance and the elec tion. The present debt of the boroMJh was shown to be $2.20U and an addi tional $10,000) as contemplated fur the Improvement, would enlarge the debt beyond the limit ullowtd by law. Even though tlie $1H.0U0 is not assumed ut once but is subject to an issuance of bonds, he suld that circumstances might In future arise when the regu lar funds could nut be available by vir tue of the overhanging Indebtedness. MR. BURNS' ARGUMENT. Mr. Burns argued that the law ullows a borough council at any time without a, vote of the citizens to increase its debt two per cent, more than the debt that then exists. Any higher debt that Is contemplated cannot be nssumed without submitting the question to the people, and then the law does not per mit an Increase of more than 5 per cent, of the assessed valuation to be voted upon. An election was held in Jermyn und by a large majority the people agreed to Increase the debt five per cent. The two per cent, which the council can at any time levy without going before the people, and the live per cent, voted upon muke a 7 per cent, maximum to which the borough can be bonded. The $16,000 which the water works will cost Is within 7 per cent, of the assessed valuation. Mr. Price argued also on authorities in law and the papers were submitted to Judge Gunster for consideration. The evidence taken was copied by Stenographer John Taylor. MOUNT VERNON CASE. In the afternoon the Mount Vernon Street Railway cuse came up. Hon. Lemuel Amerman and Attorney I. H. Burns represented the defendant and Hon. John P. Kelley and Hon. C. P. O'Malley represented the plaintiff. He fore any further step was taken the defendant presented a petition asking that the preliminary Injunction be dis dlssolved for the reason that the name of the borough of Winton wus used without authority as plaintiff In the equity suit. A hearing was hud on this branch of the case. The defend ant alleged that a special meeting of the council was called without the knowledge or consent of the burVess, and that five members of the council met In response to the call and decided to bring the action against the com- t You Want We have a new Open Stock Pattern, pretty and not expen sive, best Porcelain, purple and green (lower decoration, loo-piece Dinner Set, Ju.oo, or you can select such pieces as you need, add to at any time and replace breakage This is not the only pattern we carry in open stock, as we have 19 others.

And thut the other four council men were not notified. On the part of the defendant It was maintained that a special meeting of the council is nut legal if sufficient no tice is not given to all the cotincllmen, even though a majority of the coun cil ure present at the meeting pursuant to such a cull.- John F. Walsh, secre tary of the council, wus sworn and he said he sent out uotltt s to all the coun cllmen. He sent the notice to the four who did not attend by a boy 10 years old. The four who were not ut the meeting swore they did not get the notices. On Friday morning there will be on argument on the question whether or not the special meeting under these circumstances wus legal. Court Sten ographer W. 1. CoHtuii took the notes of evidence.
