MEETING OF THE JOINT' COMMITTEE. MANY SPEECHES MADE AND LITTLE WORK DONE. AND SGHEIFLY WASN'f "IN IT" Ho la Not Ono of "Do Ato" ana Ho WaB "Sat Down Ppon1' When ho Mado a Motion and Asked a Question. HU J61NT WATEK committee hold meeting in tho Coun cil room last night, Messrs. Lamb, Doyle, Bottorldge, Ooakley, VanDuson, K.immel, Gable, Stout, Higgins, Soheifly, fllcGuire ana Franey being prosent, J. H. l'omoroy, Esq., was also present. Mr. Lamb occuniod the chair, iio Btatoa that tho object of the meeting was to con' feidof some bills tho c6mmitteo had con1 traded and to discuss tho water question In general. He Btated that the f 15,000 grant under tho special election of 11 years ago had stood in the way of tho committee and tho only way by which tho commiltoo could'prdcoed was' bS? tho course 'it ha taken, forcing'the water company' to t'ako the matter into court and have a judicial determination on tho old Bpocial olection Now that the court had passed upon the matter,' he saidi tho committee is at liberty to go ahead with its work and have the people hold a Special 'election. ' Mr. Pomoroy took tho floor and occupied it for sorao tirricL ""He attacked tho petition Cow being olrchlatod for presentation to the Borough Council 1n" favor of a com promiso and Bald that ho had no knowledge that"tho"?atbr "company had at any time made any 'offer to givo free water for fire purposes, cancel their judgment, etc., to either thd ' joint committee or tho Borough Council and that the' peoplo' who -woro bignine the petition wore being misled, He thought tho matter ought to go to Bpocial eloctlon. Mr. Bcheifly Bald that Dr. Callon had mado a proposition to Council beforo the injunction suit was brought, whereupon Mr. Pomoroy said ho would dofy Dr, Gallon, or'any other'mombor of the water company, to place in print over his their signature the exact nature of a pro position the water company has authorized at a mooting of its Board of Directors. Mr. Gablo wantod to know if tho Bor ough Council should mako an agroomont with the wator company and tho latter should Boll out to another company, would the agroomont romain good 7 Mr. Pomoroy said It would, providing tho'agroomont by tho water company was mado at a regular meeting of the Hoard of Directors, over tho signatures of tho pros! dent and Bocrctary, and recorded regularly on the minutes of tho corporation, ' Mr. Scliolfly said ho wished to ask Mr. Pomeroy a question of law ho did not want a "statement" and tho question was, "Suppose this Council should authorize the special oloctlon and tho peoplo should decide against it, could not tho wator com pany hold tho borough for what It owed thorn and make the borough pay all the bills?" tin Pomeroy' said, "if you ask a ques tion I will answer you, but I am not answering points of law." Mr. Gable moyed "that it is tho sonso of this joint committeo to offer a rocommenda tlon to Council to proceed at once and let special election decido what' the peoplo will do oa tho question." Mr. Doyle seconded the motion and it was carried. Mr. Gablo aikod, "Could' this Council, or this committee, accopt any proposition tb water company may offori" Mr, Lamb laid Council could, but Mr. Gable said he did not think it could. Tho latter said that he had always been under the Impression, and still labored under it, that neither tho joint committeo or the Council could entertain any proposition from the water company ; that the only thing thoy could do was to establish public water works, as instructed by the mooting In Bobbins' hall. Mr, Lamb again said that Council; could entertain a proposition. Mr, Schelfly moved that a committeo of throe be appointed to ask tho wator com pany td publish the details of its proposl tlon totho peoplo. Mr, McGulro seconded tho motion, but after a heated debato tho motion was defeatod. Mr. Higgins said that in view of tho talk that had boon raised oyer tho 2,000 tho joint committee had received ho thought it would bo wise to let tho peoplo know what tbo committeo had dono. Mr. Goakley then tried to talk on tho re porta that seven Councilmon did not know anything about tho $1,000 tho committee received, but when he got as far as to say that it was road in tho minutes of tho subsequent mooting Mr, Doylo raised a point of order. lie said that was a matter for discuEBion In Council, Mr. Ooakloy sat down and Mr. Doylo put on his war paint to talk upon tho suggestion mad1 by Mr. Higgins, He attacked tho HmtALD oHdsatd it Wis not tho people.' H.jalso said that tho committeo was responsible to tho Borough Council and the demand for an accounting should como from that body, and Council not haying asked for it, he didn't think the commi-tco should, pay any attention to tho demand. A'fterlMr. Franey had stated that he had lways tried and intended to persist in his efforts to work for tho benefit of the poople, motion to adjourn was mado, but Mr. Stout asked if thore woro not some bills to bo considered. Mr. Lamb said, "No, they are not hero," whereupon the meeting was djourned. PEUSONAT.. Messrs. J, F. Finney and B. J. Yost Bpont yesterday aftornoon at LakeBido.

UDGEPAXON'S OPINION IN FULL lie PnSHCS Upon the l'olut Haloed That the Collector AVas Given no Warrant nnd Holds the Defendant Was Collector Do l'ucto. E PUBLISH TO- dav the docision of Chiof Jusiico Pnxon, of the Supremo Court, In tho caso of the Shonandoah School District against John A. Titman, Receiver of Taxos for tho yars 1888-80. A brief reviow of thl3 caso win bo of particular intorcst to tho citizons of this borough, and of gonoral interest to School Boards and Receivers ot laxos throughout tho stato. Tho School Board.after allowing exonora' tlons to tho amount of $3,204.76. hold Titman for $2,010.47 uncollected, 'lnis amount Titman refused to pay, claiming that ho was unablo to collect it, and that tho board was thereforo obliged to include it in tho list of exonerations. Ho., further claimod that inasmuch as thu School Board bad noglectod to issue a warrant to ac company tho duplicates, as provided by law, he was absolvod from his duty as tax collector, and could not bo compelled to collect the balance which tho board claimod to be due. Tho case was argued In tho Cjurt of Common Picas, November term, 1891, K A. Beddall, Esq., of Poltsville, appearing as attorney for tho planitifT, and Judge Ry on and John W. Ryon for tho defend- ant, and was decided in favor of tho School Board. Titman appealed in July, 1891, and the caso ws arguod in the Supremo Court on February 0, 1892. The judgment of tho lower court was affirmed, the decision being renderod in languago almost identical with that used in tho argument of countel for the School Board. Tho following is the text of tho decision LThls was an anneal from tho refusal of tho court below to opon a Judgment entered upon bond, given by tho defondant and his sureties for the collection ot tho school taxos of the bor ough of Shenandoah, In accordance with tho 13th section of the Act of the 11th of April, 1802, the School Board ot said borough Hied a cer tlucato In tho court below, attested by the pres ident and secretary of tho said board, showing a balance duo on settlement from said John A, Titman, collector, of fJ.wa.47. We cannot fO' view said settlement, nor aro we asked to do so. The only question for our consideration Is whether the court below. In tho exercise of Its equity powers, was Justllled In refusing to open the Judgment. Tho ground upon which this de fendant claims this relief Is that ho never had been furnished with o warrant for tho collec tion ot tho taxes. It appears that hq accepted a duplicate, but for somo reason, probably tho mutual Ignorance of tho parties, ho had never ocen zurnisneu wun a warrant, nor uau ue ever demanded ono. Ho accepted the duplicate and proceeded to collect a large portion of tho taxes. lie thus becatno a collpctor le facto and It does not appear that ho suffered any loss py reason of the absence ot a warrant. It Is con ceded that he would have been, furnished with warrant at any time, had he asked for It. Un der these circumstances, wo dq pot think that ho has any equity which would require the court below to open tho Judgment. It follow; that tho refusal to open It was not an abuse of discretion. Tho judgo to whom such an applt cation Is mado acts as a chancellor, and upon appeal this court will only sea that his dls cretlon has been properly exercised. Warnet's appeal, 01 Pa. 319.
