THE CITIZEN" ■•Urtd *t Po»tofflr» at B«tl»r as 24 flaw -atter WILLI!* C. lUtn, - PabllUe THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 21.1W5. Vicioua Legislation. A bill, which has already passed the State Senate and which is now pending in the Honse, reads as follows: Sec 1. Be 1t enacted by the Senate and Ho^wr^f-Kepn" ,ent '» tiT ® 8 th ® moU ■"•luflThofPennsylvania in General Assem- met Ldit J hereby enacted bj the authoritv of tbe same That every city and bornugh'shall have power and Waterworks consent to the construction of water works irithin the limit of its territory or any por tion thereof for the supply of water to tbe public and no company hereafter incorpo rated for such purpose shall enter upon any street OT highway within any city or borough tor the purpose of constructing or extending any part of its plant or works without first procuring the consent local authorities Every city or granting such consent may in addition to providing reasonable regulations tor the public convenience and safety impose such reaso: able conditions as it may deem proper in relation to the construction of such works or plant and also stipulate for and agree upon terms on which such city or borough may at any time acquire tne plant or works of sncb company or require or take a supply ot water therefrom Sec. 2. Every city and borough shall have the power of eminent domain so as to enable it to acquire by purchase or con demnation the plant or works of any com pany incorporated fcr and supplying water within tbe limits oi such municipality and before any city or borough purcbase oonstruct maintain or operate any water works or plant of its own or procure water to be supplied to the public in any portion •fits territory already supplied by any company incorporated for such purpose such city or borough shall purchase or ac quire the works and property of such com- L r within such distnet and so much thereof located outside of such district a» neb city or borough may require at a pnee to be agreed upon and in case of fail ure to agree upon such pnee such city or boroagh shall pay therefor such damages as shall be awarded to such company the same to be ascertained in the tollowing manner that is to sav Upon the present ation to the court of common pleas ot tne proper county setting forth the premises and describing tbe plant or works mtend ed to be taken the court shall alter 10 days notice to tbe company interested appoint 5 disinterested persons as viewers etc Provided That this act shall not apply to boroughs which have already purchased their water works and wish to enlarge the same by additional purchases or by laying additional pipe lines or providing addition al hydrants for the accommodation and protection ol the people a»d property ot said boroughs It will be the first section is a mere rehash of the present corporate powers of cities and boroughs regarding water companies, but section 2 contains something new in these words:"before any city or borough shall purchase, construct, maintain, or operate any water works or plant of its own or procure water to be sup plied to tbe public in any portion of its territory already supplied by any company incorporated for such purpose; such city or borough shall purchase or acquire the works and property of such companies," etc. These worde are a direct blow at the corporate rights of cities and boroughs. They mean tbat we cannot help or better ourselves without fiist shouldering the property of a corporation whose service has become unsatisfactory, and therefore at a meeting of citsons of this town last Thurs day, the following resolutions were adopt ed: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that senate bill No. 48, and now pending in tho legislature of the state, is not only unconstitutional and vicious but an outrage npon citueus, taxpayers and the people of the borough of Butler and ot every borough in the state who are receiv ing their water 3upply from corporations or private individuals. Therefore be it. Resolved, That we assert the right of this borough and of every borough in the state in their municipal capacity, and whenever they so desire and do it to furnish their people with pure, good water wituout be uig forced to buy at an exhorbitant price a lot of juuk that is practically worthiest and useless. Resolved, That the senator from this district aud representatives from this coun ty be requested to use all and every honor able means to defeat the passage ot this bill by tbe legislature ot this state. The bill has already passed the Senate, and Senator Meredith who has an interest in the Water Works here was one of its champions, but it should be defeated in the House it possible. It is a dangerous bill, everyway. The words "or procure water to be suppled to the public in any portion of its territory, etc., might be construed as operating a gainst the granting of the use of the streets by council to joint stock companies sucti as the one in existence in our First Ward to-day. In one year and a half the public debt has increased 33 per cent, and this in times of peace. If we should be so unlortunate as to be involved in a war the nation would noon be bankrupt. Harrisburg Notes. The proposed investigation of the local government of Phil's. was the chief topic among legislators, Thursday, but, in the Senate that day Mr. Kaufman protested against increasing officers and salaries, but the bill then under consideration increas ing the salary of a type writer from SI,OOO to $1,200 went through. Tbe House Committee on Education re ported a bill changing the method of grant ing certificates to teachers. Instead of {lermittmg the teachers' institutes to se ed the committee, as is now done, the bill provides that the county superinten dent and two teachers, with two others to be selected by the Htate Superintendent, shall constitute tbe board of examiners. Gov Hastings swung his veto axe, last Saturday, for the first time, and chopped the head off the bill giving Wasbihgtou Co. an additional law judge. In his Teto-message he gives a resume of the legal business of that county for 1894, which is little, if any, larger than that ol this county. The bill creating a Department of agri culture passed tbe House finally ou Thurs day. Thus far the farmers bave every thing they have asked tor in this Legisla ture. IF the Legislature at Harrisburg, an I Governor Hastings, do not waut to diss:- pate the two hundred and fifty thousand majority or thereabouts by which they were electe.t they should call a decided halt on the proposed legislation creating needless officers at large salaries, iucrea* ing vbe salaries of old officers e.ud on reek less appropriations generally. With busi ness depressing aud taxes burdeusome, on the one band, and the purchasing power of a salary never so great as.it is now neith er the people or the perty are iu a mood to be I'irther and needlessly burdened by rwikless expenditures of the public money. A halt can not be called to.i soon nor too decidedly. —EJC Tilli repe passed, and thus prevent an extra cession. ACCOKUINU to statistics there are 6,136 people making laws for this country. The othet 65,000,000 are trying to keep the laws already made, aud are not succeed ing very well is ouor insttacw. A Cheeky Judge. I*p in Franklin, Judge Taylor of Venan go Co., was, according to the gossip of the town, canght in the act of making an as i situation house out of the court house, and on the 4th of January he entered the Sher iffs office and did assault and beat and at tempt to shoot one of the deputy sheriffs. The deputy sheriff informed against him, Judge Taylor waifed a bearing and gave bail for court, and the Grand Jury found a true bill against him for assault with in tent to kill. The case was postponed by Judge Hen derson on account ot the tes-.mony of phy sicians as to Taylors for trial and yet Taylor has been holding court there right along. One of the Franklin papers of last week published a complete record of the case, and sums up as follows: Ou the showing which is made by the above record, a number of self evident propositions are deducible. 1 II Judgu Taylor was "physically and mentally until" for trial on Jan 31, he was likewise unlit to sit in his judicial capacity on that day. ..... ... u 2 If he is unfortunately liable to attacks of"'spasmodic insanity," he was out ot place on the bench this week. 3.Thw argument which makes him nnnt to undergo trial by reason of mental and phys ical disability and liability to spasmadie aberration also takes him trom the judicial bench by reason ot unfitness. . We simply iollow the inflexible logic ot this matter. There is no disposition in this community to persecute Judge Taylor. His friends, in making assertions to the contrary, merely call attention to the re markable moderation and toleration thai has been shown toward him. We hope he may prove himself innocent of the lelony that is laid at his door, lie and bis friends, however, have "queered" the case by post poning its trial on grounds which, it valid, establish his incapacity tor service on the bench. The real issue cannot be befogged. What did Judge Taylor do to M.M. Sbomaker on the afternoon .of Jan. 4J Ibat is the question. The ridiculous manner of evading it has injured him and made Venango county a laughing spectacle for the country. A meeting of the \ enango county Bar. at which about thirty members were pres ent, was held in the Court House last Sat urday alternoon and it was voted by a large majority to take steps for the im peachment and removal of Judge Taylor from the bench. The proceedings began by the report of the committee which had been appointed to investigate the record of Jndge Taylor. W. J. Breeae, in behalf of the committee, submitted a report reciting that the testi mony taken by the committee shows that Judge Taylor is and has been for some tim e mentally incapacitated tor the duties of bis office, and that his conduct has been immoral, arbitrary, vindictive, and sub versive ol justice. A memorial wi'l be presented to the House at Harrisburg asking that he be im pi-ached. If this is ordered, the Senate sits as a jury in the case,and if found guilty the GoTernor removes him, and appoints bis successor.

Jaca Frost still reigns, seemingly bent on holding everything in his icy grasp. Tbere has been much sickness in onr little village this winter. Mrs. Geo. Miller is recovering from a very severe attack of neuralgia of the heart. Geo. Hay who was confined to the house for four or live weeks with sore eyes, is able to be about again, his sickness was very annoying to him, from the fact that it came at a time when he was busy col lecting the taxes of Penn twp, yet not withstanding this siege of oickui-ss ho has succeeded in collecting nearly all of the taxes, and can be put dowu as one of the successful tax collectors ot the county. Samuel McCandless and his son Carl have almost recovered from their recent sickness. We are glad to note the fact that Jose phine dart, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hart is able to be about again. Mr. J. I) Martin's family have nearly all been sick, but are able to be about again. John Nicklass was laid up for a week with a severe cold, but is able to work again. Mr. and Mrs. A. M.

Mr. W. S. Doutbett can be seen almost every day driving his noted horse Butler Chief 2 25, in tbe sleigh. He makes an elegant sleigh horse. The entertainment given by Kev. E. C Paxton in the U. P. church was well re ceived and highly appreciated. Mr. D. D Dodds came down from G rove City to at tend the entertainment. Mr. John Hart had his hand badly hurt while working on a well in the Coopers town district. Our supervisors have beea busy opeaing the roads, where they were drifted by the late storm. The drilling well on ex-Sheriff Brown's ftrm will reach the hundred foot sand be fore long. They have had good success so far on this well. Miss Mary Bennett of Coaltown is again in our vicinity making her home at A. M Douthett's Mr. Tbos. Martin has been sick for about about four weeks. He does not recover as fast as his friends would like to see but we all hope tbat he will bo up soon. Tbe cutting of James Douthett's timber is almost completed, but the saw mill has beec stopped for over a week for the want of wat er. We all shall be happy indeed when we shall hear the sound of tbe blue bird in tbe land and wh>n the robin shall come from that warm clime to mike our morning ho u rs retound with sweet melodies.
