There was considerable discussion as

MUNICIPAL WATER
DISCUSSED ANEW
John J. Harte, of Scrnnton, Address
es the Municipal Ownership Loaguo
on the Why nnd Wherefore of a
City Owning and Controlling Its
Water Supply Says Municipal
Water for Carbondnle Is Certain.
Tho municipal water project was dis
cussed anew last night, when John J.
Hartc, of Hcrnnton, delivered a talk of
over an hour In tho Academy ot Music
under th6 auspices of the Municipal
Ownership league.
The attendance was probably the
lnrgest since tho formation of tho
league, and tho gathering wns stirred
by greater enthusiasm than any of tho
preceding meetings. About a hnlt hun
dred persons, some of horn wero not
members of the league, made up tho as
semblage. Mr. Harte oald that the question of
municipal ownership of water was not
new, It was not experimental, but wns
an old question nnd fact In nearly every
largo city In this country and Europe.
He affected great surplus at tho sug
gestion that It was a new proposition,
and said It Avas Ills opinion that It was
nothing short or criminal on the. part
ot any community to give to any pri
vate corporation, actuated by self In
terest, those rights of citizens that give
them the authority to own and control
tho supply of water, a necessity vital
as the air wo breathe. Scranton, hi
continued, wus the only city of Its size
in the country which had never at
tempted municipal control of anything.
Philadelphia, he claimed, was the only
city where tho municipal control that
was aimed at was lost. This was the
gas deal, which he asserted was defeat
ed by the actions of the hirelings of
councilmcn who betrayed their constit
uents. "Scranton," Mr. Hartc wont on to say
"is getting 'tho same kind of a dose'
as Carbondale." There tho consumers
are paying eight dollars per hydrant,
the same as charged by the Consoli
dated Water company. This latest
move of the Scranton Gas and Water
company, through its president, W. AV.
Scranton, has raised a howl of indigna
tion, and from the least unexpected
quarter. Even tho 'aristocratic board
of trade." he said, was on Its mettle,
and now.thc Interest and agit'itlon is
directed to a municipal water supply, a
matter which should have been taken
bold of years ago. In this connection,
Mr. Hart raid ho would like to point
out thai this agitation or Interest on
the part of tho Scranton board of trade
towards a free water supply, wns the
direct result of the Imposition of a lax
on the receipts of the corporations of
Scranton, AVhen councils Imposed this
tax, President Scranton, of the Gas and
Water company, retaliated by Increas
ing tho water rates 32 1-V, per cent. This
action aroused the people, the board of
trade passing the most stirring resolu
tions on tho question of municipal own
ership of water. This move on the
part of the citizens, Mr. Harte claimed,
was due to tho fact of the imposition
of a tax to which the city was long
ago entitled, but which had been ne
glected. Mr. Hartc dlscubsed the advantages
of a municipal water supply fiom a
llnanclal standpoint, incidentally laying
stress on the sanitary standpoint as
suggested by Bishop Hohau, of Scran
ton, in the debate before the Economic
league. He gave It as 'his opinion thnt
municipal water for Carbondale was a
ceitalnty, basing this opinion on the
decision or Judge Halsey. He also de
clared that under this decision the Con
solidated company's plant could bo np
pralsed and purchased nt a cost that
would be comparatively nothing. The
dividends now paid by tho Consolidated
company, $30,000 annually, he said,
would pay for tho plant-In three years.
Respecting tho reason for supporting
tho independent candidate for mayor,
L. A. Roberts, as opposed to tho other
candidates, Mr. JIarte said It was nec
essary to continue the light, no matter
when municipal water would be an es
tablished certainty, and thnt It would
require an avowed representative of
municipal water, one whovUood on that
platform alone, to flu the olllee -or
mayor, one, according to his opinion,
who would ho alive to the Interests of
tho project. For these reasons ho asked
that tho Independent candidate bo sup
ported, also because it has never been
tho history of either the Republican or
Democratic party that one or the other
over stood on a platform that was
squarely for municipal control of nny
thlncr. V WATCH DOGS.

Nerves Give Out.
;i'ho muchhieiy of u mill that grinds

ever it Is, nerve force is Jacking and
tho means of restoring tests with Dr.
A. AV. Chase's Nerve Pills, A great
many people In Scranton vouch for
this.
Among them Is Mrs, Joseph Mitch

Scranton, Pa., who says: "Dr. A, W.
ChaEe's Nerve Pills are line, i wus all
out of order, nervous., unci could pot

neys were sluggish uml tho back lame,
Nothing seemed to help mo until I got

Mr. Harto took nulla a long step In
dlscusslug tho political side of tho ques
tion, when ho declared that If rumors
wero true, tho pre-election pledges ot
tho Republican and Democratic candU
dales for mayor were ngattiBt tho sup
port of tho municipal water project,
Tho fact Is, that llic only statement or
pledge that hns been made by any of
the two candidates catno from Mr.

date, who declared through Tho Tri
bune that Ida platform wus tho plat
form of thu people, whatever their

TRANSFER MEN'S TROUBLES.
Whnt the "Beautiful" Snow Drifts
Did to John Booth and Stephen
Whitinore.
The snowdrifts that blockad tho road
way between hero and Crystal Lake,
besides being a, mountain of tho so
called "beautiful" arc a source of
trouble to teamsters. If you want to
verify the truth of this ask John Booth,
the truckman, or Stephen AVhltmoro,
of Jermyn. The pair are hauling the
abandoned gravity passenger cars
which aro to be furnished for campers
ue around the shores of Crystal
hike. Mr. Booth, who la transferring
tho cars, purchased by M,r. Moon, made
a trip Saturday and when he reached
tho top of 0110 of tho hills ho decided
to cut across lots. Ho Just started his
"cut" when the weight of tho car broke
through a sluiceway and the loud sank
down leaving the wagon and car al
most covered with snow. Booth and
his men had to dig their way out and
at times they could scarcely see thu
horses heads. AVhltmoro gave Booth
the laugh when he heard of the ex
perience and made some boastful brags
about how ho could draw one of his
cars safely through tho snow. Ho tried
it, but that's all ho did. The car Is
stalled at some point between here and
Crystal Lake, so is Booth, and both aro
likely to stay there until the snow, like
the ice cream before the summer girl
takes a sneak. Now Booth says Car
bondnlels good enough for him In the
winter time. To Honesdale ho says
with the county except on Fourth of
July or haying time.

JERMYN AND MAVFIELP.
The Sweeney hotel, one of tho oldest

which was tho property of Edmunds St

About 2 o'clock In tho morning Mr. and
Mrs. Johns wero awakened by tho bark

placo full of sinoko. Without walling
to dress themselves they rushed out
Into tho street and aroused some of the
neighbors. Several attempts wero made,
to send In an alurm, but the system
was out of order, and It was nearly
half an hour later before tho breaker
whistle sounded. In tho meantime Dr.
I. S. Graves, Druggist Jones nnd the
bartender of the AVIndsor hotel ran to
tho Crystal Fire company's room and
got out the hoso cart, which they had
drawn as fur as Winter's store when

of tho Crystal company were soon on
hand and the Artesian Hose company
also responded to the alarm. Consid
erable time was lost, owing to the fact
that the hydrant nearest the burning
building was frozen. An attempt was
then made to connect with the hydrant
in front of Hotel Avery, but this also
was frozen. Tho first hydrant was,
however, quickly thawed out, and by
tho use of a twin coupling both com
panies were able to get at work. The
whole of the interior of tho building
was ablaze and the fire was one of the
most stubborn to subdue that lias been
known here. Under the direction of
Foreman Roche, of tho Crystals, the
lire was conllned to the one building
and. after two hours' hard work, was
subdued, but by that time everything
was destroyed and the building com
pletely gutted. Tho cause of the (ire
is unknown. Tho loss on tho building
is partly covered by insurance, and It
Is understood Mr. John's loss is also
covered..

The fire alarm system In use In Jer

that it is perfectly unreliable. As the
telephone exchange will be kept open
all night after next Saturday we would
suggest the present system be dispensed
with and a telephone placed in the fire
room at tho Delaware and Hudson
breaker. By this the borough will save
money and have a system they can de
pend upon.

Cured of Severe Female Troubles by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
"Dear Mks. Pinkiiam : Being a mother of five children I
have had experience with the general troubles of my sex. I was
lacerated when one of my children was born and from that hour I
date all my afflictions. I found that within a few months my health
Avas impaired, I had female weakness and serious inflammation and
frequent flooding. I became weak and duzy but kept on my feet,
dragging through my work without life 'or pleasure. A neighbor
who had been helped by taking Lydia E. Piiikliam's Vegetable
Compound insisted that I take at least one bottle. I did so and
felt so much better that I kept on the treatment. For seven months
I used the Compound faithfully and gladly do I say it, health and
strength arc mine once more. I know how to value it now when it
was so nearly lost, and I appreciate how great a debt I owe you.
The few dollars I spent for the medicine cannot begin to pay what it
was worth to me. Yours very truly, Bins. Anna McKav, Chaplain
Sons of Temperance."
