The injunction suit between the Shenandoah Water and Gas Company and the Electric Hallway Company has. been amicably adjusted and all interested seem perfectly satisfied. Suppose the Water Company and the Joint Committee on public water works, or the Borough Council, or all, now try a hand at amicable settlements. The factors of both parties are citizens of the borough and, as suoh, they should aim to dwell in harmony and strive to make the leading town in the county a prosperous one. Let the cool heads of the contending factions' come together and look over , I Js true that the people were in censed by the action of the Water Company In suing for the money claimed to be due on back fire plug supply and that, at the time, there was a strong public sentiment in favor oi the establishment of public water works It is none the less true that careless nes'a In, the transaction of business of the Borough Council enabled the Water Company to recover judgment in that suit. The minutes of tbo Bor ough-Council in connection with the matter were defective and, through shortsightedness of the councllmen of ' the time, a verbal agreement was a& cepted, Instead of requiring one in writing. The action of the Water Company, in going back on the verbal agreement, in nnianannnhlonii1 imtliafmnrnll xt but;iu law ihe claim was held a . good one. -The company claimed what It was entitled to under the law by reason of Jhe neglect and Ignorance of the men elected by the people to protect their Interests, These are undeniable facts. Now, then, let the new water works movement be pushed forward cautious ly. Let us be sure we are right and that we have the people with us. 'Tls true that at tho public meeting held some time ago there was a cry for public water works. Butlet us ask ourselves if the four or five hundred people at that meetlpg formed the ma 13 NEW A Lot I MM I U ti I I IW I LAnGIS SIZE, FINE, JUICV. OXffXVY 25 CENTS FER DOZEN.

The only way in which the majority of the taxpayers of a town or city cau voice its sentiment is by an election. By ballot, and not by word of .Kititti. Considering this, what should be the 'first step toward establishing the pub lic water works? The accumulation of facta and figures leading to a reliable estimate of the cost of such works and a special election, to give the majority of the taxpayers an opportunity to say whether or not they want public water works and are willing to expend the amount that may be decided upon for them. This is reasonable, just, and the only 'lawful procedure. But what Is the plan proposed? To go ahead under the $45,000 increase of debt and an additional $10,000 the borough Is at liberty to extract in ac cordance with the right to a bonded indebtedness equal to 2 per cent. With this (55,000 the plant is to be started and after it is spent the people will be asked to hold a special election to pro vide for the completion of the 'plant, Why not have the special election now ? Why sink $55,000 In the works under the color of authority (it isnoth ing mure; by reason of the ten-year old grant, and subject the people to a thpusand possibilities of bankruptcy I A special election would dispose of all questions as to authority to proceed under the election of ten years ago and make the authority clear. The members of tho Joint Committee say they are acting under legal advice and are advised they have the author ity to act under the old special elec tion. The old water company ofllclals are equally positive In their declar ations that, authority under that elec tion has lapsed. Tbo court may de clde in the case being argued one way or the other, but the Supreme Court holds out hops to which side may bo defeated and then the pyramid of legal fees will take shape, and where Is the $10,000, or $15,000 fund ? It Is not necessary to have the Court pass upon the question at all. A special election would settle the whole blatter. - But, better still, let the new water company enthusiasts consent to a con ference for an amicable settlement in writing. That word writing was the rotten apple In the barrel, we all must admit. YEAR 92 of II II I I W I III I " W V I BALED STRAW. BOROUGHJTEMS ! GLEANINGS BY THE LOCAL CORPS OF REPORTERS. WHAT THE SGRIBES SEE AND HEAR Rov. Powlok Proaohod a Revival Sermon in tho Methodist Epis copal Church Sunday Eve nlnff. "The Lake of Fire." The sermon in the Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday evening was on tho old fashioned subject of everlasting fire. Rev. 20-15 : "And' whosoever wa3 not found written in tho book of life was cast into tho lake of fire." Holy Writ spoaks concern ing our future with considerable reserve, lis sallentfeatures are cxhibitod with cleart ncsa but there is much scope left for human imagination and speculation. Tho facts of a judgment to como and everlasting blits for the goad and evorlasting punishment for tho bad are plainly revealed. The book of Revelation is an attempt by St. John to describo what he saw through the open door of heaven. (Rev1. 4 1.) Among the many things he saw which have exercised the minds of men and furnished material for not a little idle speculation was a great wlijto throne of judgment before which the dejad both email and great stood to be judged according to their works. The cloBjng scenes of the judgment witnessed the .casting ,into tho lako. pf, fire, of all .whose names were not found written,fn the Book of Life, The question has been raised, "Is this fire literal or figurative?.." The Bible does not explain, consequently, ho could not answer the question without re flecting upon (he questioner. It ought to be understood that ft fool can ask a thousand questions that all the philosbphors in the world cannot answer. If figuralivo, the reality must exceed the figure by which It is' sol forth. We shall know more about this' hereafter. Another question is "oin you reconcile it with God's goodness?'1 We are under no obligations to do so. Its truth does not depend upon our ability to do so. "Vo are not called to defend or apologize for the truth but to preach it in all its native ruggodness. But where do you got y pur notions of God's goodness? Not from nature., "Tho Leavens declare the, glory of God and the, firmament Bhoweth his handiwork" but not his char acttr. X can see the skill of the artist in the frescoes around us, and of the architect in the proportions of the building, but must get a knowledge of their character elsewhero. So the universe reveals God's skill but not his character. Law, inex orable law, reigns In 'nature and nothing in it speaks to us of gopdnots. Only the book of God reveals God's character. And the sort of goodness it attributes to God is such as is consistent with the everlasting punisu meat of the wicked. If human reason is to sit in judgment upon revelation and ac copt what pleases it and reject what dis pleases it, it may turn out, if part is true and part false, that what we accept is false and what wo -reft ct is true, JUoiven and hell rest upon the same authority and it faith is undermined in hell faith in heaven goos along with it. Anolhor question men ask isj "Ij there any way out of it?" We know of none Some men think thore ought to be and the with that there may be become father to the thought that there wi'l bo, ' But the word of God affords no hope. Nobody pretends that "post mortem probation" has any other foundation than human reason. But suppose there should prove to be a way out why should anybody prefer such a round about underground route to heaven when a direct one is avail able to ail. Finally it is significant that the reason men are consigned to the lake of fire is pot because of what they do b it tp cause 'of what they neglect to do. "Inas much as ye did it ftot" to the Word runs "depart ye cursed," How shall we escapo U we neglect so great salvation," " Vho- soqvor was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lako of fire."

Long before the curtain rose at tho Far nam street theatre last nig"hf the "standing room only" sign bad to be.hung out. Such was tbe welcome Omaha gave to George O. Staley and his thrilling play, "A Royal Pass." All tho Interest of coursa centered around Mr. Staley, who is one of the cleverest of tho German dialect comedians now on the stage. His work showed the rosult of hard study and a close attention to details. The support was good and the audience lavished their applause upon Louise, the little child of the star. In his scenes and songs with his baby Mr. Staley is very reminiscent of Fritz Emmet, While tbe whole play was interesting the great attraction was tbe locomotive race in tho tbhd act. The two engines looked for all the world like veritable "steeds of steam" and whirled acros? the stage at a surprisingly high rate of speed. When tbe curtain went down on tho sceno it seemed as if the applause would never cease.

YE SLEIGH BELLS RING. Good Sleighing in Town but Bad Outside. Tbe jingle of tho sleigh bells could b( heard all over own Saturday evening and yesterday. Tho liverymen were wel taxod, in fact tho demand was greater thai, the tuppty. Many were tbe cooing couplet, Up and down the streets they dashed be hind prancing steeds and it was evident to the spectators that the sleighing was "just perfectly lovely," JUST EOOH FOR TWO. Straw ride parties wore numerous, but cutters out-nUmbered them by fifty to one, Some of the "turn outs" were natty and tho roadsters were, in many instances, of a speedy cba'acter. BLEIOHINQ IS GOOD. There were numerous spurts on Main strpot yesterday and tho local trotting hor6e breeders enjoyed and displayed themselves the width and length of the streets. There wero some spirited brushes occasionally and some good old ladies on their way to tho houses of worship wero prompted to exclaim, "Mercv me I" Tho echo was "Let go yor nag and I'll pull der harness off'n him." The suburban sleighing parties afford' d fun enough for a comic opera, or an ex travaganza. Merrily some partiei drove eas,t"ard towards Mahanoy City, but dejectedly did thoy retur.i with a ton, or more, of mud clinging to their cutters. HOT BO GOOD. The exjitement at Mahanny City has grown to, such a beat tho atmosphere inter vening between this point and that melts the snow as fast as it falls. ' To-day, alas I tho whole ntmosphero changed. Rain came and, lo and behold, tho joy of tho merry makers is melting.
