THE COUNCIL IS
AGAIN RESTRAINED
THE COURT HAS GRANTED
ANOTHER INJUNOTION.
THE WATER COMPANY GETS IT
Tho Court Asked to Correct Mis
takes of tho Election Officers
and Declare the Proposed
Levy Illegal.
HEN the court con
vened at Pottsvillo to
day counsel for Uii
Shenandoah Citizens'
"Water and Gas Com
pany presonted a peti
tion, signed by about
125 citizens who voted
at the last special election, asking for an
injunction against tho Borough Council
and other borough officials.
Tho import of the injunction is sot forth
below.
The injunction granted by the court is a
temporary ono, and tho rulo is mado re
turnable on Monday, 18th Inst., when ar
guments will bo made.
First, That tho Increaso of indebtedness of
the Dorough of Shenandoah, as claimed to be
authorized by the said election, Is illegal.
Second, That the said election was not hold
according to law.
Third, That the said election was held In
violation of law by reason of the fact that tho
proclamations proclaiming that such election
should be held deceived the tax payers of said
borough In this, that it set forth statements
that were untrue.
Tho statement marked first In tho said
proclamation set forth the fact as follows:
"The assessed valuation In the Borough of
Hhcnandoah is two million, ninety-three
thousand, six hundred and nlnety-ono dollars.
(12,093,691.)" This is untrue for tho reason
that the last assessed valuation of the Borough
of Shenandoah is one million, eight hundred
and sixty-two thousand, six hundred and forty
dollars.
Tho third statement reads as follows:
"Monies in tho treasury, all outstanding sol
vent debts and all revenues applicable within
one year to tho payment of tho same, is $37,"
425.53." This statement is untrue.
In the fifth paragraph of the said proclama
tion the following Is contained which is untruo:
"5th. The percentage of the proposed increaso
is i per cent," whereas it Is the fact as your
petitioners believe, that by mathematical cal
culation it would be over 0 per cent, of the as
sessed valuation of tho property in the Town of
Shenaudoah.
It is further set forth in tho sixth paragraph
of tho proclamation that "The purposo of the
proposed Increaso is, as set forth in the forego
ing ordinance, viz., to provido for tho erection
of public water works at the oxpense of tho
borough."
Your petitioners pray to say to the court that
for tho sum of $05,000 the proposed waterworks
could not bo erected and that, on tho contrary,
It would cost over $150,000, and it is the belief of
the petitioners that its cost would bo as propos
ed nearly if not over $200,000.
Your petitioners claim that the proceedings
had In the premises aro in violation of law;
that the bal cts placed In tho several ballot
boxes aro Illegal; that tho said election was
held In violation of law and therefore void and
of no effect; that tho result of the said election
so illegally held would be to require your
petitioners to pay money In the guise of taxes
which is not duo lagally for any purposo to tho
said Borough of Shenandoah; that the filing of
returns of tho said election In the said court
was Illegal and without warrant of law; that
the Issuance of a certificate setting forth the
number of votes cast for tho purposes stated
In the proclamation hereinbefore recited, was
Issued without lawful authority and Is there
fore null and void; and It is further set forth
that the said election was held without au
thority of law and contrary to tho laws to
which such elections appertain.
Your petitioners therefore pray that your
Honors will permit this petition to bo filed of
record in tho Court of Quarter Sosslons; that
your Honors will appoint a suitable time for
hearing this complaint; that your Honors will
grant a rulo upon the said respondents to an
swer this complaint at such tlmo as your Honors
may fix; that your Honors will mako such
order as may be necessary to correct the mis
take of the election oftlcors of the several
wards of tho said Borough of Shenandoah In
declaring that the certificate Issued for tho In
crease in indebtedness of tho Borough of Shen
andoah Is null and void; that It bo decreed that
tho action of tho members of tho Town Council
and others associated with them was Illegal
and that tho petltlpners bo not required to pay
tho tax proposed to bo levied, and that the
Council of the Borough of Shenandoah, Us tax
collectors, assessors and other officers bo re
strained from levying a tux upon your peti
tioners and upon the people of the Borough of
Shenandoah by virtue or by reason of tho elec
tion herolnbeforo mentioned; and that It bo
decreed thut tho said olectlon was unauthor
ized, Illegal and void and of no effect as con
cerning any of the citizens of the Borough of
Shenandoah.

MINISTERS DISCUSS
HOMESTEAD TROUBLES
SERMONS ON THE SUBJECT IN
TWO CHURCHES.
LARGE CONGREGATIONS LISTEN
Revs. Fowlck and O'Boyle Dis
cuss tho Unfortunate Situation.
Both Take Their Texts
From the Same Gospel.
UBLTO interest in tho
eitua'ion at Homestead
has been so worked up
that little outside of
that subject can bo
heard on or off the
streets ot town. Even
the clorgymen have
taken a hand in dis
cussing tho situation
and last night sermons on the subject wero
preached in two of tho churches, one by
Rov. Powick, in tho Methodist Episcopal
church, and tho other by Rev. Robert
O' Boy lo, in tho Trinity Reformed church
REV. TOWICK'S VERSION.
The sermon at tho Methodist Episcopal
church on Sunday evening was on tho
recent riots at Homestead. Tho text was
from Matt. XXV-10. "Aflor a long timo
the lord of those servants comoth and
reckoneth with them." Whethor wo have
five talents or only one we aro only stewards
and are equally responsible to our Master
for the use we mako of them. If this fact
had boon kept in mind at Homestead tho
recent conflict had been impossible. We
hoar much in tho newspapers about the
"majesty of tho law and the duty of up
holding It." Tho claim is broadly mado
that the giant corporation has a right to
employ whom it will to pay what it will
and to defend its property as it will. All
thU is very good so far as human laws are
concerned but it ignores those higher and
diviner laws to which all human laws
must eventually bow. It takes no account
of common stewardship and human
brothorhood. According to tho newspapors
this deplorablo conflict arose out of a
premeditated attempt of organized capital
to crush labor for organizing, as capital has
dono, to protect Itself. While labor or
ganizations havo often been tyrannical this
ulTords no excuso for tho inhumanity of
refusing to confer with labor in tho present
case because it happens to be organized,
To say that organized capital has a right to
rofuso to omploy organized labor may be
to utter a legal commonplace but it is to
say that might mako right. In tho light of
higher than human laws wo may fairly ask
what right has any man to acquire such
wealth and to absorb such establishments
as to admit of him practically holding in
his hands the destinies and fixing tho
wages of forty thousand men, and onforcing
bis will at tho muzzlo of Winchester
rifles, whilo ho himself is rolling in count'
less millions of tho proporty of their
common Father ? Legal right, to bo suro,
ho has, but moral right he has not.
Thero aro at least two causes operating to
produco this stato of things. Ono is to bo
found in two features of our industrial sys
tem which aro iucompatibio with each
othor, viz. that which protects capital
against foreign products whilo at tho eamo
timo exposing labor to the competition of
foreign workmon. But this is a question
for statesmen rather than ministors. And
that It is a not a question of paltry partizan
ship but of lifo or death to our honost
toilers, who havo a divine right to a fair
sbaro of their heavenly Father's estate,
was written in human blood the other day.
Tbo othor and tho deeper causo is found in
tho covetousness of tho rich and tho onvy
of tho poor. Legislation may do some
thing to remedy tho former but only the
grace of God can reach the latter. It is
becaueo of consummate selfishness in tho
hearts of men that wo bavo so many labor
and othor troubles. It is not only seon in
millionaires who organize gigantic monop
olies to suck tho life's blood of tho millions,
but In those of smaller means who will
shut their oyns to the manner in which
dividends are oarnod whether by the ren
dering of needful and useful service or by
tho desecration of tho holy babbath as In
stanced In tho running of Sunday trains
and tho publication of Sunday newspapers.
This avaricious age noods to learn no lesson
moro than that "a man's lifo consistoth not
in the abundance of tho things which be
possesseth" but in their adaption to meet
tho demands of his higher nature. And
until tho covotousrich and tho envious poor
loam it thero will be found no remedy for
thoso periodical outbreaks. It Is no sin to
bo rich and no virtue to be poor. Wo
havo to thank God that success has crownod
tho oflorts and wealth fallen into the hands
of somo of tho noblest mon and women
God eyor mado who are using it for tho
glory of God and tho good of humanity.
Whon either wealth or poverty becomos an
Instrument of oppression to others It be
comes a curse to all. Happy tho man who
from the depths of an honest heart can
pray "Give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me; lest
I be full and deny Thoo and say who is the
Lord? or lest I bo poor and steal and take
tho namoof my God In vain."
REV. 0'JIOTI.E I'RKACIIBS.
Tho sermon in tho Trinity Reformed
church was basod upon a text from Matt.
AIII-5j. "Is not this tho carpenter's son?"
Jeeus Christ had loft his home and country
and went into othor countries to preach tho
Gospel. Ho followed tho vocation of a
carponter. His father, Josoph, was a
carpentor, and Josus himself worked at tho
carpenter's bench. Whon Jesus went into
tho now country tho finger of scorn was
pointed at him and even tho lowly asked,
"Is not this tho carpentor's son ?" Christ
was a carponter beforo entering tho
ministry, not by accident, but God digni
fies labor and ho mado his only son a
carpenter. Labor, theroforo, is no dis
grace. Thero aro two things absolutoly
necessary in tho political economy of tho
world capital and labor. You may havo
all tho wealth, all tho capital, b11 tho
machinery, all tho mills and mines, but if
you havo not got tho mon to work them
thoy will be of no benefit.
On tbo othor hand, you may havo
millions of mon anxious to work, but if
you havo no capital back of them to givo
thorn work then labor will bo no good.
Capital and labor must, therefore, go hand
in hand.
My object this evening is meroly to
present to you tho troubles that are now
before us as a people concerning the riots at
Homestead.
Tho sad feature of tho affair is that
politics aro brought into it. It is not a
political question, but an economical one.
Tho capitalist has tho right to fix his
rate of wages and I, as an American citi
zen, not as an Anarchist or a Socialist, havo
no right to intorfero with him. So tho
laborer can consider his labor his capital
and you cannot compel mo to work for
you if I do not wish to do so.
Tho wrong position in which tho work
ingmen at Homestead is that thoy are not
in thoir own homos, not living in their own
bouses, but are occupying the mills. They
are occupying proporty that does not be
long to them, property in which they have
not ono cent Invested. No matter how
wrong the capitalists may bo two wrongs
do not make a right.
The only rodooming foaturo of this dark
side, to my mind, is that thoso poor labor
ing classes do not hold that position on
American principles. Fivo thousand men
aro out of employmont in ono town.
Soventy-fivo por cent, of that 6,000 aro
either Poles, Hungarians, Swedes or Ital
ians, and less than one-fourth aro Ameri
cans or Americanized people. The wholo
5,000 aro lod, therefore, to take this position
on that principlo which would dostroy your
lifo, and my life, your homo and my homo,
your church and my church, your govern
ment and my government, and wipo out of
oxistonco your God and my God anarch
ism and socialism. This is an unfortunato
position, and at tho same timo a rodeoming
feature.
I said it was unfortunato that politics bad
boen drawn into it. This advantago is
wrong, becauso tho question is not a polit
ical one. Christ is tho only friond of tho
laborer.
The first thing necossary in order to
avoid these troubles ia to havo tho capi
talists and laborers bo christians. Then
thoy can and will sympathize with ono
another. The great trouble is now that
thero is too much mistrust. One Is afraid
of tho other. It is necessary that the cap
italists shall recognize tbo laborer, that ho
shall not consider tho laborer is beneath
him, and not like the Jews with Jesus, say
sarcastically, "Is not this tho carpenter's
son?"
On tho othor hand tho laboror ought not
be less a christian. I do not beliovo in
driving a rich man to hell and driving"all
the poor to heaven. There aro many of
both classes who will novor reach heaven.
Tho poor man is not tho poorest in hoart by
any means. The rich and poor must bo
christians. Tho laboring man must havo
respect for Him who is over him.
It is necossary that tho christian church
tako hold of this question. Take hold of
tho people, tho capitalist and tho laborer,
and educate them and teach them tho truo
meaning of tho christian religion.
The capitalists at Homestead positively
refuio to surrender thoir rights to labor.and
in that they aro right. Let each man hold
to his rights. And I, as laborer, dare not
surrender my rights.
This is from k standpoint of law, not
from a standpoint of feeling. My heart
aches for thoso poor mon and tho poor fam
ilies, Tho families sutler tho most and aro
tho Innocent victims.
