IS THIS JUSTICE?
A Bare-Faced, Bull-Dozing Gamed Boldly
Played Last Night.
THE PEOPLE PUBLICLY DUPED
A Wolf-in-Sheep's-Clothing Fight Made Beware of Traitors,
Citizens! So-called Enterprising Citizens Take Ad
vantage of tho Public Water Works Meet
ing to Vent Personal Splto.
Tho mass mooting hold in Bobbins' opora
houso last night was ono of tho most dis
graceful ailairs over witnessed in this
borough.
WhilS a number of our prominontand
respected townsmen took cart in it, wo are
obligod to mako this statoruont because tho
causo for it stands out in bold roliof.
Tho Herald Bent a reporter to tho moot
ing for tho purpose of making a full and
accurato report of all tho proceedings; and
sont him thero to roako a roport of tho mass
mooting called for tho purposo of gotting
tho citizens to .considor tho advisability of
establishing now water works.
It is with "profound grief, sorrow and
indignation" (in tho language of tho resolu
tion adopted by the regular water question
meeting) that tho Herald announces its
inability to dovoto epaco to an extended
report of tho mooting, on tho quostion for
which it was called tho establishment of
now wator works.
Tho vindictivo spirit of some of our so-
called onterprising and progressive citizens
was so bold and tyrannical that tho Her
ald fools duty bound to spread it lully
beforo tho people, in order that they may
Judgo for thomsolves just whoro certain
mouth-pieces of tho pooplo stand.
TUB WATER WORKS.
The people woro slow in gotting to Bob
bins' opora houso last night, but wbon they
did got thero thoy formed a mass of
humanity. Tho main floor and balcony
woro crowded.
At ton minutes of 8 o'clock James J.
Franoy, with a cano borrowed from ex-
Chief of Police Roads, rapped upon tho
boards of tho stago for ordor and moved
that Monroe II. Kohler bo made chairman
of tho meeting. Mr. Kohler .was duly
olected by voico, and M. E. Doylo, of tho
Sunday Kevis, was made socretary,
Mr. Kohler mado a briof address in
which ho recitod tho substance of tho
notices of tho meeting and Mr. 'William
Kimracl moved that J. II. Pomoroy, Esq.,
tho borough solicitor, mako a statomont of
tho water company situation, as dovolopod
by tho'recent law suit.
Mr. Pomoroy nsconded to tho stago and
the season,
Inferior Goods at loiv prices,
our EEST MIACE MEAT
mado an addross covoring a period of about
thirty mlnutos. Mr. Pomoroy complotoly
reviowed all tho circumstances of tho case
botween tho Shenandoah Water and Gas
Light Company and tho borough and
closed with a statomont tbat tho result of tho
special election hold in 1831, whoreby tho
pooplo of this borough authorizod tho
Uorough Council to increase tho public
debt to $15,C00 to create public water works.
holds good to this day and tho present
council can act undor it.
Mr. Pomoroy's addross was a very inter
esting ono, and tho Herald intended pub
lishing it in full, but tho subsequent pro
ceedings of the mooting doinand tho spaco.
Upon tho conclusion of Mr. Pomeroy's
addross Jamos J. Franoy arose and mado a
few remarks, in which ho said: "I don't
boliovo tbat any soulless corporation ought
to own us, to far as wator is concerned. I
boliovo this borough ought to own its own
wator works."
It will bo obsorvod that Mr. Franoy was
discrete onough to say that no soulless cor
poration ought to own us, so far as water is
concerned.
Bev. John Gruhler was tho noxt spoakor.
Bev. Gruhlor touched upon tho rocont
wator company suit and was in accord with
Mr. Pomoroy's statomont of tho facts as
presented by tho borough on tho trial. Mr.
Gruhlor also said: "Thoro was hardly any
thing in tho statoment Mr. Pomoroy mado
that I didn't romomber, for I always take
interest in tho borough affairs, although it
is tho first time that I havo attended such a
public mooting, and I didn't fool groatly
disposed to como this evening if I had not
boea asked. Whon I camo in some ono
at tho door said, 'Mr. Gruhlor, this is no
placo for you,' and I told him I thought
that my right placo was whoro the question
of right and wrong is to bo docidod." In
conclusion Bov. Gruhlor said, "I am pro-
pared to present to this meeting short reso
lutions, which, i izius, will cover our
ground."
Tho following resolutions woro submitted
and adoptod upon motion of John F. Hig
gins :
"Whereas, Tho Shenandoah Gas and
Wator Company havo considered it
in their interest to sue the borough
of Shenandoah lor wator ront on publio
nro plugs; ana
Whereas, It is tho opinion of tho citi
zens who support said water company, that
they aro ontltled for a eufliciont supply of
water in caso of flro for tho protection of
their proparty without any additional
charge; and
Whereas, Tho said wator company
havo violated their promise, givon when a
great majority of citizens voted and de
clared themselves in favor of putting in an
additional supply of water by tno bor
ough, to tho effect, tbat tho company would
not charge extra for 11 ro plugs; therefore,
Resolved, Tbat this meeting express their
sense of profound grief, sorrow and indig
nation at the proceedings takon by tho
water company against tho citizens of this
borough; also.
Resolved. That we, tho citizens compos
ing this meeting, request the authorities of
tno oorougn witnoutaoiay to taKo tno nec
essary measures to supply this borough
with another sufllciont supply of good
wator.
Applause followod the adoption of tho
resolutions and thon, after a lull, during
which ono citizen seemed to bo waiting for
tho other to mako a motion to adjourn,
Mr. Higgins moved that tho mooting ox
tond thanks to Mr. Pomoroy for his full
explaination of tho water quostion, and tho
motion was carried unanimously.
THE DIBTT WORK.
Mr. Jamos J, Franoy thon jumped to his
foot and said that in viow of tho largo
assoniblago of citizens the mooting "might
bo prepared to got expressions on the
sentiment of "T" rail" and ho movod that
a committee of three be appointed to draft
resolutions on that quostion and that tho
resolutions bo read.
'Squire T, T. Williams mado a point of
order that tho mooting was not called for
tho purposo of considering tho eloctrio
railway quostion.
Tho chairman disregarded tho point and
put tho motion, which prevailed and tho
following committeo on resolutions was ap
pointed ; J. J. Franoy, B, W. Stout and
B. Stockor.
Mr. Franey called his colleagues behind
tho econos on tho stago and whon ho got
thom together ho pulled a sot of resolutions
from tho Insldo pockot of his coat and road
them to tho balanco of tho committee, who
bent over and drank in tho words of
wisdom from tho pen of M. J. Lawlor, a
eoriospondont of the Sunday iVeij.
Meanwhile Councilman Archio Lsmb
attracted tho attention of tho mooting by
moving that a committeo of five bo ap
pointed to act in conjunction with tho com
niltteo of Council on tho wator quostion.
Tho motion was carried and tho chairmnn
appointed William Kimmol, M. E. Doylo,
J. J. Franey, It. W. Stout and John F.
Higgins.
Whllo tho appointments woro being
mado J. J. Franoy, B. W. Stout and B.
Stockor woro engaged in appending thoir
signatures to tho eloctrio railway resolutions
tbat J. J. Franoy had in his pockot when
ho asked for an expression of sentimonts on
tho "T" rail quostion and which had boen
written for tbo occasion by tho aforesaid
corrospondont of tbo Sunday News.
It might bo slated hero that thochairman
of tbo meeting was guidod in his appoint
ment of tho electric rosolution by a Blip of
paper handed him by M. 15. Doylo, the
secretary of tho meeting and tho oditor of
tho Sunday Kews.
Tho electric resolutions woro read as
follows by tho secretary, M. E. Doylo :
Whereas, It has como to our knowl
edgo that tho officers and agonls of tho pro
posed olectric railway aro endeavoring to
secure oy questionable methods the priv
ilege of laying a "T" rail track thro'!en
tho streets of thi borough, and.

tho best Interests of tho borough and

resolutions.
as tno reading or tho resolutions was
concluded tho anti-progress sympathizers
in tho hall applaudod and ono of thom
moved that tho resolutions bo adopted.
B. J. Yost jumped up and advancod to the
stago. Ho mado a vigorous protost against
tho proceedings and askod, in tho namo of
justice, that tho railway company bo given
a hearing boforo tbo adoption of such reso
lutions. Cries of "near I Hearl" "That's right,"
"Givothem a squarodeal," etc., woro heard
from all parts of tho hall aftor Mr. Tost
spoko and Chairman Kohler announced
that ho would sustain tho point raised and
declaro the resolutions out of older.
Franoy, Higgins, B. G. Hess and oliiors
who aro ongaged in fighting tho eloctrio
railway jumped to thoir feot and protottod
against tho ruling, but tho chairman
answered, "1 havo doclnrod tho resolutions
out of ordor. I agree with Mr. Yost that
tho railway company should bo givon a
chance to be hoard."
Tho sentiment of tho mooting turned
almost unanimiously in favor of tho rail
way company when tho citizens fully
understood tbo triok that had boen at
tempted, but thero was so much disorder
tbat a motion to adjourn was a rolief.

A Coroner's Jury Pronounces Them

Market Lake, Idaho, Oct. IB. Coro
ner Henry Code, of KvRiitton, Uintah
County, Wy., arrived here yesterday
after n journey of two weeks' duration
to Jackson's Lake, In what Is known at
Jackson IIolo in the nortlnvoit corner ot
Wyoming, whero he hold u inquest over
the body of tho lato Robert Bay Hamil
ton, of Now York, who was drowned lu
Snnko Klver moro than a yenr ago. The
story of thu last days of Jlr. Hamilton,
already partly known to tho public, is
now complete.
The story of Hamilton's llnsou with
Eva Mann; tho latter's attompt to mur
der a nurse; tlje trial, and the disappear
ance Of Hamilton from public view, aro
all too wnll know to need repetition.
Sept. 15, luUO, n clispatch from Helena,
Mont, conveyed the startling intelligence
that Robert Kay Hamilton hail been ac
cidentia drowned in Snake Klver, In
Jackson's Hole, somo three weeks be
foro. Tho story seomod so vague and in
complete that people soon coinmoncod to
doubt it, for several reasons, uuioug
them tho Kbrief announcement of his
death; that his fathordid not seom much
worried over the account; and because of
the statement of Henry Strom;, of
Greene, Chenango county, N. Y., who
had boon In tho Yellowstone Park, camo
East and declared , that ho had seen
Hamilton allvo In the park, having
recognised him by his voice as well as
his feature-?.
Tho Hamilton family trlod to keep tho
matter quiet, but It would not down.
On the contrary, as time passed tho ba
llet that Bobert Bay Hamilton was allvo
grew stronger lu those who thought
most about the facts. Tourists return
ing from the region brought strango
stories. The men .who conducted the
search were, with ono or two exceptions,
not acquainted with him in his lifetime,
and not willing to swear the body was
his.
Thursday, Oct. 1, to set all doubts at
rest, Coroner Code left Market Lake
Station with a party to disinter tho
body and hold an Inquest. Tho body
was exhumed, and certain marks upon
it agreed so exactly with tho description
that had been taken alon that all fur
ther doubt that Hamilton was dead was
forever sottlod.
The distinguishing marks wero the
front teeth and a fracture of the leg.
The witnesses were all reputable citi
zens. Thu jurors In the Inquest were
Iiobert 1. Miller, Andrew Mattson, and
O. F. Humin. Thuy rondor the following

Influenced by tho silly prejudices of a

The question to bo decided is whothor or

right of way to the Mahanoy City, Shen

Bailway Company shall bo modified so
that tho "T" rail may bo used.
Tho petitioning conipany shows very
satisfactorily to all minds open to convic
tion that tho "T" rail is safer for travol
over heavy grades and bettor timocanbo
mado over them, and that vohlcles will not
bo endangered by thom. With the re
presentation is an offor to agree that if, at
tho expiration of six months, tho "V rail
Is not satisfactory tho company will roplaco
it with the Hat patcrn.
Ono of the few who are fighting tho "T"

of the loudest-mouthed fanatics in tho
