nature disclosed, Judge Archbald sug
gested that tho parties try and come to
an umlcablo understanding, and as It
was near the adjourning hour, he ad
journed tho case until 9 o'clock this
morning, when It Is probable nn agree
ment will be reported.
In the suit of J. Frank Slegel against
M. J. Dougherty and others, an action
In replevin, a verdict was directed in
fuvor of the plaintiffs.
Tho trlul of the case of Mrs. JInrgaret
J. Smith and others against the Jer
myn and Ilushbrook "Water company
was nn trial before Judge Gunster yps
terday In tho main court room. The
suit Is for the puiposc of recovering
damages from the water company for
Injury done to what Is known ns the
Finch faun In Hcott township, owned
by Mrs. Smith and the heirs of her two
sisters. The land Is on the shores of
Chapman's lake, which Is used by tho
water company for a reserve water
bupply.
THE DAMAGE DONE.
This lake Is live miles from Jermyn
and midway between them Is the com
pany's storage reservoir. To Increase
tho water supply in the lake tho com
pany placed a dam across the outlet,
which raised the water four feet and
caused It to overllow a part of tho
Finch farm and cover a spring that
was of great value.
A tunnel one thousand feet long wns
driten to carry water from tho lake to
a point whore it could be carried to the
storage reservoir and In making this a
vein of water that supplied the well on
the farm was cut and It has since con
tained no water. I'efusc from the tun
nel wns plied on a portion of tho farm,
and for nil these things it is desired to
collect damages.
A large number of witnesses weie
called by the plalntirr yesterday to tes
tify to the value of the farm before and
after the operations of the water com
pany. Nearly all of them were from
Scott township. Attorneys C. 11. Gard
ner and II. Alulholland are conduct
ing the case for the plaintiffs and At
torneys C. II. Welles and James H.
Torrey for the defense.
Contest Discontinued.
The contetts for the offices of school
director In Al.tdlson township have been
discontinued. At the lust election three
directors were to be chosen, two for
three years and one for one year. Tlia
republican candidates were S. J. Horn
baker, D. w. Swartz and John Plrie,
and their nomination papers did not
specify the tetnis for which tliev word
candidates. John L. AIcAndrew, Ed
ward Wpbster nnd Thomas Hoar were
the Democratic nominees and they had
the length of the terms for which they
were candidates set forth.
At the election S warts: nnd Pirie
were elided and Hornbakcr and Ale
Andrew received a tie vote. A con
test was begun, one of the specification
being the failute of the Iteptibllcan
candidates to specify tho pattlriilar of
fice for which they wor enndldates.
Various other itregularitlos were
charged,
Uecently an agreement was reached
which yesterday took the form of un
order of coutt declaring John L. Mo
Andrews, the legally elected director
for a term of three years. D. "W.
Swartz will be tho other three-year
director, and John Plrie will serve" one
year.
