BIG FIGHT FOR
THE LEHIGH RIVER
Scranton Gas aad Water Coapaajr D:
dared the Wlaaer.
JL'DQE J. B. M'PHERSON'S OPINION
He Denies the Right of the Lehigh
Coal and Naragatloa Company to
the Ownership of the Biter and
Permits the Local Water Company
to Divert the Overflow to ie Roar
ing Brook It is a Big Victory for
This City at Well as the Water
Company.
The Scranton Gas and Water com
pany was yesterday declared the win
ner of the famous suit brought against
it by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company and others to restrain it from
using the waters of the Lehigh river.
The decision was made by Judge J. B.
McPherson. of Dauphin county, who
was specially called to preside in the
case. He dismissed the preliminary
injunction but allowed the bills to
stand to protect the plaintiffs in case
the defendant does not live up to Its
plans as laid down in its answer to the
injunction proceeding The opinion
which accompanied the decision covers
twenty-seven closely type written
pages and U a most Important and In
tel estlng document as it deals with an
altogether new point of law and reviews
the history of early legislation on water
ways, and riparian and navigation
rights and particularly the history of
the Lehigh company since its Incep
tion in ISO. Owing to the local import
ance which attaches to it, the opinion
will be printed substantially In full in
an early issue of The Tribune.
In order to provide against the possi
bility of a drought In this city, the
Scranton Gas and Water company con
ceived and adopted the idea of availing
itself of the use of the waters of the
upper Lehigh. To do this it secured
riparian rights by quietly purchasing
land along the banks of the river near
Oouldsboro and proceeded to erect
works for diverting the Lehigh water
to the water shed of Roaring Brook.
The plans comprised a reservoir to
catch and store the surplus water dur
ing the spring nnd winter freshets and
a pumping station and pipe line to car
ry the water over a divide of less than a
mile to the headquarters of the Roaring
Brook. It was proposed to use this
water only In cases of necessity, the
present supply of the Gas and Water
company sufficing for all purposes un
der ordlnury circumstances.
AN INJUNCTION OBTAINED.
In January last Just as the work was
gotten under way the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company, the Bethlehem
South Gas und Wnter company and
Samuel Wallace and others Instituted
proceedings to restrain the Scranton
company from carrying out Its purpos
es, the plaintiffs alleging that the sup
ply of water in the river was meagre
enough without any of it being divert
ed, and the Lehigh Coal and Naviga
tion company particularly averring
that no one had a rljht to use the
Lehigh water without Its permission,
the legislature having, It claimed, giv
en it full simple right to the entire
river from source to mouth, together
with all its tributaries.
The case was first taken to Wayne
county, but the court there ruled it had
no jurisdiction. Then the Lehigh peo
ple agreed to have the Issue tried here
providing a foreign judge should be
culled In. This the Scranton company
acceded to and In January the hearing
took place. Judge Mcpherson being
called to specially preside.
The plaintiff's side of the case was
urged strenuously by such able counsel
of wide reputation as Samuel Dickson
and George Wharton Pepper, the lead
ing civil lawyers of the Philadelphia
bar and Northampton's brilliant con
sellor. General, W. E. Doster, of South
Bethlehem. Hon. Alfred Hand and W.
J. Hand and Hon. H. A. Knapp repre
sented the Scranton Gas and Water
company.
The importance of the case was wide
ly commented upon at the time, in
volving as it did the general determin
ation of the rights of riparian owners.
as well as a determination of the rights
or the scranton uas and Water com
pany under Its charter, and of the Le
high Coal and Navigation company
under the several acts of assembly
granting It special powers and rights
In the river Lehigh, which legislation
covers a period of ninety-three years.
PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTION.
The contention of the plaintiffs was
that the Gas and Water company had
no right whatever as a riparian owner.
to divert the water of the river or any
part of It to any other water shed,
They also contended that the charter
of the Scranton Gas and Water com
pany, through granting the right of
eminent domain, did not give it the
power to take water from the Lehigh
river as that particular stream, vir
tually as If It had been a piece of real
estate, had been given by the legisla
ture to the Lehlsh Coal and Naviga
tion company, and that no one could
take from them their franchise In this
respect, without an express enactment
of the legislature.
The Gas and Water company In its
answer disclaimed any intention of
diminishing the ordinary flow of the
stream and averred that It was simply
their purpose to store the surplus wa
ter in time of floods, which would oth
erwise go to waste, and to pump the
water so stored into the Roaring brook
or another storage reservoir, all of
which It contended It was entitled to
do under Is acquired riparian rights
nnd the right of eminent domain grant
ed it by its charter and acts of assem
bly. Judge McPherson, in his opinion,
states that the Issue presents a new
point of law, never before decided In
this state or in any of the cases brought
to his notice. The new point is the
right of a riparian owner in respect to
the diverting of water to another wa
ter shed, when such diversion does not
diminish the ordinary flow of the
stream. The contention of the plaintiff
that it had a right to do this, he says,
Is well founded. The legislature hav
ing empowered the Soranton Oas and
WTater company "to take water from
any stream," gave it the right to take
water from the Lehigh under certain
limitations, as to quantity and inter
ference with the rights of the other.
He decreed against the claim of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation company
that it owned the entire "corpus" of
the stream and further based his re
fusal on the grounds that no apprecia
ble damage could result to the others
invested with rights In the stream
from the use which the Scranton Oas
and Water company proposed to make
of the river.
The Gas and Water company asked
a favorable decision and kept on with
the work on the pumping state and
pipe line and with the completion of
the reservoir win oe resay to supply
Scranton with an almost limitless
amount of water.

LUTHER AT WORMS.
lie Will Be the Central Figure of the
Story of the Reformation.
There are few events In history to
which the world looks back with awe
and reverence, Luther facing the Diet
at Worms, alone and single-handed, Is
one of these. The figure of that lone
man, standing unmoved and fearless
before his judges, refusing to recant,
every one has pictured. The central
figure in the "Story of the Reformation
SCENE FP.OM THE REFORMATION.
or Life of Luther" to be presented on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday even
ings of this week at the Frothingham,
will be the representation of this great
event.
The very words which were used on
that great occasion will be used; and
the very incidents which the chronicles
of church history record will be graph
ically represented. At this great trial,
Luther uttered the famous words,
"Here I stand. I cannot, otherwise,
God help me, Amen!" which have made
hewes of men In echoing around the
world. The cast which will represent
this scene. In sixteenth century cos
tume, will be as follows: Emperor, J.
M. Harris: elector, Rev. D. N. Kinter;
cardinal, John E. Evans; Luther, John
O. Deity, of Philadelphia; Erich. P. E.
Harding; courtier, T. B. Sturdevant;
Albert, Abner I. Shafer; Wildeneck. J.

Huns leaving a convont. Erfurth Monk
and choir men. Mrs. Monroe by means
of lecture and stereoptlcon views, con
nects the representations. The affair
Is taking a great hold on the city, In
general, and much Interest is attached
to the production. The sale of re
served seats began at the box office
yesterday morning with very fair suc
cess. Two years ago last August Mrs. Mon
roe was in Rome and she happened to
be one of a party who saw the Pope on
Aug. 8. She writes a very interesting
sketch of her visit In which is the
following: "He has a kind, intellectual
fuce, and Impressed me as a great man.
His personality like that of Gladstone's
makes one know him as the greatest
man In any companw. He had nine
cardinals with him and was the small
est man In the company, but I felt he
was the greatest not from his position
but In himself."
