Appearances indicate that tho call far a mass mooting of citizens of town will be responded to by tho attonaanco of a largo number in liobblns1 opora house to-night. Whio there seems to bo a strong senti ment in favor of tho formation of now water works, many of thoso in favor of it will sanction tho movement upon ono con dition only, and that is that tho now works shall bo a public undertaking; that tho borough shall take hold of tho pchemo and issuo bonds to defray the oxponso. This viow is held by many who say that to mako tho proposed now works a privato undertaking would bo a firco. A pub'io water works alono can bo oxpoctod to ac complish tho object for which tho mass meeting for to-night has been cal'.ed. If now works aro established and loft under the control of a privato corporation what' over relief may bo afforded trio peoplo will only bo temporary, for tho history of privato local corporations is that thoy can not withstandjtho temptation to pool their issues. As an Instance, tho consolidation of tho ga3 and oloctric light cotnpanios may bo cited. It is understood by most of tho pooplo that tho meeting to-night is culled for tho purposo of having public expressions of sentimonts on a proposition to organize public water works to bo ownod and con trolled by the borough and thero ore many warm eupportors of the proposition; but should tho meeting dovelop an undertak ingto organizo another privato company it will bo found that few people will bo ready to encourage it.

NEWS GATHERED HERE AND THERE What la Bolng Dono at Mahanoy City and Ashland In Roforonco to tho Admission of tho Eiootrlo Road. From the "Trl-Wcokly Ileeord." tin Important conference took placo at tho Union National Bank on Saturday evening botwoon tho special committeo of Council on oloctric railway, Messrs. O. O, Lewis, Jacob West and B. T. Lowis, Solicitor T. H. B. Lyon and Secretary E. S. Belnhold, and tho following gontlomon representing tho propnsod buildors oi the Mabanoy City, Shenandoah, Ashland and Girardvillo Electric Hallway, Messrs. J. K Coylo, solicitor, J. F. Finney, of Shonan' doah, and C. Eberlo, of Philadelphia. It dovolopou in the courso of tho con ference that tho Oirlislo gontlomen who aro putting up tho capital for the road are interested in sovcral oloctric railways throughout the state. Porsons familiar with their commercial standing speak of them as mon of largo means, abundantly able to carry to a successful issue tho enter prise. Mr. Ebcrlo, electric cnginoer, is tho gentleman who constructed tho Pottsvillo oloctric railway, and who paid a visit to town whon tho projoct of building a road was under consideration by town parties, llo is an electrical export, whoo knowl odgo of things in connection with work of this character is comprohensivo. Mr, Finnoy, who was with him, and whoso presonco is accounted for by tho rumor that bo is to bo secretary of the company, yory much intorosted in having a favorablo consideration of tho petition prosontod to Council by tho company. It is, porhaps, no longer a secrot that tho capitalists back of tho entorpriso aro rosi dents of Carlisle, Pa., among them such well-known men a3 Judge Wra. F. Sadler, President of tho company, Messrs. J. II. Baslor, M. F. Thompson, Dr. Neff, E. Biddlo, and others. Not a dollar of tho stock is hold by Shenandoah parlies, and whon it was montioncd to Mr. Eborlo that thero was fear that the road would bo run in Shonandoah's interest, ho laughod at the idoa. Tho company proposes to run a line straight from hero to Ashland. A branch of tho road will start off at St. Nicholas, going over tho hill to Shenandoah. Every second car coming up tho valloy will movo directly up to Mahanoy City. Tho num bor of cars, frcquoncy of trips, &c, will bo regulated by tho exigencies ol the business. Tho object of tho company in asking for tho right to lay tracks on Main stroet, is with tho intontion to extend tho line via Park Place, Delano, Grior City to Lake side Tho rnuto to Lakeside, via Buck Mountain, has boon gono over by tho en gineers and pronounced impracticable on account of tho steep inclino of tho hill on the castsido. Tbo largor population on tho lino of tho Dolano routo is also an essential consideration in its favor. It is also a very dosirablo thing for our business peoplo, as it opens up to moro convenient communi cation a district tributary to Mahanoy City trade. Thoro will bo throe power stations on tho routo as above outlined. Ono at Itappahannock, ono at St. Nicholas and anothor at Shoemaker's. About tho only hitch botwoon tho oloc tric railway peoplo and tho committeo in conference was on tho question of rail. Tho company deslro3 to lay "T" rail in tho borough and tho commitloo was inclined to insist upon flat rail. Mr. Eberle explained that if compelled to use flat rail in the borough, it would bo nocossary on reach ing tho limits of tho borough to stop tho cars, take off tbo wheels and put on wheels suitable for tbo "V rail which would bo used on tho township road, as thosamo wheols will not do for both rails. Tho advantago of tho "T" rail was that it pormitted faster running of tho cars, is safer and in ovory respect moro dosirab'.o. It was decided that tho committeo should visit Allontown and Bethlehem to-day at tho exponeo of tho oloctrio railway com pany and mako inquirlos of tho peoplo thoro, whothor thero was any objection to tho "T" rail, and investigate the subject thoroughly.
