THE SCRANTOJN THIBUNE-MONPAY, DECEMBER 11, 1899.
CONSOLIDATED IS A
HUMBUGAND SHAM
HAS NO LEGAL EXISTENCE IN
THE CITY OF CARBONDALE.
Bo Declares Ex-Judge Rhone The
Eminent Jurist Addresses a Citi
zens' Meeting and Points Out the
Way to Municipal Water Public
Ownership of Public Utilities tho
Trend of tho Times Fifty-Four
Per Cent, of Cities and Borough
Own Their Plants.
Kx-Judpe Ithone, of- Wllkes-Harre.
who wan ciiRaged by the committee of
MO to render an opinion ns to tho
possibility of municipal ownership of
a Carbondnle water plant, addressed
a citizens' meetlnR In the Academy of
Music Saturday nlffht. The little
theater was crowded to the doors with
onthsulastlc taxpayers easer to lenrn
how to proceed to shako off the prallln
yoke of the Consolidated Water Sup
ply company and establish a municipal
plant which shall be .in endurinff
nlcsBlnK 10 the Industrial Interests of
the city.
Mayor Kilpatrlck Introduced the
judge, who prefaced nls remarks by
saying that he had oxpoot"! to have
Judge Lynch with hlni. but a dinner
arranced by Mrs. Lynch prevented.
Then as an Introduction n the water
riuestlon he said that h' and the .ithcr
old men present could simply net In
un oJvlsory onpoclty. and that th"
youiiK men must execute the plan.
There may be old fossils In this com
munity as In nthets, he continued, nnd
circumstances which make n death oc
casionally a Rood thtntf. but they are
not to be reckoned with. There are
brains, enerpy and capital enough In
your city to last until the present
capitalists are all dead.
In the cases of small consumers It
Is not so much the three cents a day
Increase in rates that i'rouses vou
ns it Is the imposition th li."ieare
without cause. Hut In Its dlseoiirnne
ment to manufacturers It !s more than
nn Imposition; it Is a positive hin
drance to your prosperity.
TREND OF THE TIME.
Public ownership of public utilities
Is the trend of the times. This spirit
has been advancing f)r 2(M years.
Everybody can do ljtt.-r than any
body Everybody knows more than
anybody, nnd our laws which regulate
educations, mines and fiotovies lave
been passed became the welfare of
everybody Is of greater i-onsecpjence
than the welfare of unybodv
Vou would not toIir.it privur cwn-
ershlp of your newer., and :t should
be the same with wr.oi-. In public
ownership you get the la-wat measure
of benefit for the wiliest expenditure
cf monev. Take i!v mails f r -x-ample.
Does any on? think prlv.ite
corporations ought to cairv the malK
Before my time it was ti. In my time
Ave. and now it is two eotr.i post. ice.
Fifty-four )er cent, of the cities and
boroughs of this country own their
water plants, and all are satisfied. I
have yet t learn of a single Instance
In which public ownership has failed.
New Orleans once became dissatisfied
and allowed its witer wot Its to pass
Into the hands of a prlvnte corpor
ation, but conditions became Intoler
able and after much dllllcully the city
again got control. Philadelphia re
cently gave up a iris plant, but that
"as duo to fraud. It Is not only your
uty but economy to have municipal
acr.
Why des capital seek water bonds
'd water bonds that are wateied?
'hv flirt capital pay ten times the cost
f the local plant? It ox poets to tnak"
icny. Why can't you'.' Where would
you have bon now If you had adopted
a plan fo ownership years ago"
EXAMPLES HEPOHTED.'
The In rtire thn read reports from
Pennsylvania cities that have their
' n w.itr and wont in: Siiopose It
Is a success nnd suppose It Is your
duty to furnlrh It. Whut then? How
are you erring to put It on the ground?
First tesnlvc ti do It because of the
lvtM-fin. s -courtly, to r.lrt lndusfy,
end thirdly, to ;nv a laige amount In
taxi" If veil n tv not mad enough
nrw for that vou never will bo. and
It will never 1 done.
""ve mode of procedure was then
outlined !o i-to councils, get an en
rlnetr ti make nlatis an.I iipeclnVa
tiors and 1ml out tho cost, which will
1- fi'-reev. here between $200,000 and
nnojoo Thou bond the Ity or have
It put In un it contract, the contractor
to collect his Interest and a certain
PTthn of the principal e.uh vnr. and
the city to have tlip right of purchase
after ten v'ears by paying the balance
of the orjglnnl cost. If you reject r.rch
an offer ns this you nusht to suffer
fotevcr
Vou have the right to lay pipes even
If it ruins the old eompanv. The fact
Is that tho consolidated Water Sup
ply company Is n humbug and ulium
with no leral p.xlstenco In this city.
There is onlv the Crystal Lake com
nany and this concern on ihe Wtst
Side The others are mere marauders
and have no business h-re at nil.
COURAGE NECESSARY.
On to councils as your servants, and
after the start of the movement the
first thing you will moot with will In
nn Injunction. Don't be afraid of that,
An Injunction never killed anybody.
You'll probably have to go to the
supreme cmrt, for all ihe corporations
say, "The people he damned, we'll law
them to death." In n year you'll have
It settled and at sinnll cost. Jn the
meantime use Just as little water as
possible Work in th spirit of mil
lions for defense but not one cent for
tribute.
The corporations win find you are
mastets They enter .1 dty on their
bellies "nipi after they get what they
want they rise up us your masters,
Don't ho frightened by litigation, if
there Is no other wuy you ran con
demn the old plant and take It nt cost
with it certain percentage, udded. dot
men to undertake this who would
rather die than submit to an Imposi
tion. Get men who want to tlo right.
After am expression of thunks to
Judge Rhone, a resolution wns adopted

Hogarth's band fair was greeted by
a full house on Saturday, the opening
night, nnd seldom has Windsor hall
contained a larger crowd of people. The
hall was tastefully decorated with (lags
and bunting and presented a very
animated scene for several hours. The
boothtt, which were presided over by
Mrs. Moyne and Mrs. Hums, who were
nBslsted by a nunilier of young ladles,
contained a large assortment of pretty
things for sale and the refreshment
booth In chnrge of Will Miller urid
Fred Hogarth, was well patronized.
Tho fish pond proved n strong attrac
tion and some of the things hooked out
were quite valuable. The entertain
ment was given by tho Mnyfleld band,
which has during the past year at
tained such musical proficiency that
they tiro always appreciatively lis
tened to. The programme given was
an excellent one. Tonight the enter

Tho statement circulated around the
borough for several days past to the
effect that Stephen Whltmoro, a well
known and prominent resident of West
Mnyfleld. had been murdered In Oregon
Is, we nro happy to say, untrue. Tho
rumor originated from a news Item In
a western paper detailing the murder
of a Stephen Whltmoro in Indiana.
Mr. Whltmoro has been In Oregon for
several months past nnd the rumor
circulated has caused Mrs. Whltmoro
tonslderable annoyance In nnsweiliig
the numerous Inquiries nt the house
concerning the statement. Mrs. Whlt
moro received n letter from her hus
band written since the published date
of the Indiana murder and on Satur
day In answer to a telegraphic dis
patch received word from Mr. Whlt
moro stating he was In good health and
fully dispelling any cause for anxiety
regarding the rumor.

quest of Rnffer's counsel, the prisoner
was held In $1,000 ball for examination
on Tuesday. Raffers, who comes from
Stevenson, Ala., had little to nay about
the shooting. Ho was considerably
under the Influence of liquor when
nrrested and today he declared that
he had no Intention of shooting Slater;
that he hnd been drinking and met
two or three students, who were guy
ing him and bluffing him about betting
on tho bicycle contests, and that fin
ally they made an attack upon hltn.
He drew his revolver, he says, and
fired one shot, simply for tho purpose
of frightening them away, and did
not aim at Slater or Intend to snood
him. Raffers was not nblo to furnish
ball and was locked up.
