The Water Case in Court
This Morning.
DULY A TEMPORARY STAY
FINAL. ARGUMENTS WILL
HEARD ON MONDAY.
BE
When tho Judges "will Render their
Derision as to Whother the
Preliminary Injunction
Shall be Final.
SjllIS morning D. C.
Hennlng, Esq., counsel
and solicitor for tlio
taxpayers and residents
of Shenandoah, pre
sented a bill in equity
before the judges of
the Court of Common Pleas, complaining of
the recent act of tho Town Council and
their purpose in contracting with Thomas I'.
Kerns, and Martha P. Quinn for the erection
of water works. After reciting the contents
of tho bill of complaint of No. 2 March
term, 1802, presented to the court January
12th, wherein citizens 51. P. Fooler and u
host of others claimed that the Town Council
was about to award contracts for the erection
of a water plant ut an estimate cost of
$150,000, thereby increasing the borough
debt.
The bill offered this morning contains the
particulars oi tho recent elcctiou called for
by tho Council, which was hold June 14th,
1692, and which resulted in a vote of 514
votes for ' no increaso of debt" and 7114 votes
that tho "debt may be Incrouscd." The pro
posed increase was fixed at $03,000. In Mr.
Ilenning's carefully prepared bill offered
there was a petition, signed by petitioners to
tho number of fifty and more, setting fojth
that the increaso of debt, claimed to bo
authorized by the Juno election, is illegal:
that tho election was not held according to
law, but lu violation thereof, because tho
proclamations for such election deceived tho
taxpayers by false statements.
Tho first of those statements is the one
which puts the aisosscd valuation of tho bor
iUgb at $2,003,001, whereas tho last assessed
valuation is $1,602,010. Another statement
alleged on the bill to be falso is the third one,
to tho effect that "Monies In tho treasury,
all outstanding solvent debts and all revenues
applicable within one year to tho payment of
the same, is $37,425.G3." Anothor untruth
tho petitioners alleged is that the pcrcentago
of iucrease Is four and three-quarters per
cent. They claim it would require six per
cent, of the assossed valuation. It is claimed
further that the proposed new water works
could not be erected for $05,000, that tho cost
would bo nearer $200,000.
After further setting forth wherein tho
recent election was illegal, in that tho filing
of tho returns, tho issuanco of tho certificate
and other acts pertaining to the election,
were contrary to law, tho petitioners asked
that their petition might bo filed of record;
that a time for hearing might bo fixed; that a
rule upon the Council bo granted to answer
the ooainlaint; that an order bo made cor
recting the mistake of the election officers,
in declaring the certificate issued for tho in
creaso of indebtedness null and void; an or
der decreeing the action of Town Couuoil
and their associates illegal, and that tho
petitioners bo not required to pay tho tax
proposed to be levied and the authorities
restrained from levying and collecting the
tar.
Upon tho presentation and filing of the
paper last named on July 11th, tho court
ordered it to bo filed In the Quarter Sessions.
Notice of suoh filing was given to all tho
borough ofllciiils and a hearing fixed for the
IStli Of July last. A rulo was alo granted
to show oause why the said oleetion should
not bo set aside. ,
To-day's proceedings wore, perhaps, the
most Important taken by Counsellor lUnvoUtaed to the best lady aud gentleman
niug iu behalf of hU oliwiU In all the series
of legal steps made to prevent our Oouuoil .
from violating the law.
'Die bill further recites the udeTor to
oonthBot with Measra. Quinn aud Kerns for
the erection of water works, aud repeats that
the June election is illegal, in that the works
would cost $l.riO,(MI), exceeding the increased
ta( $.15,000; in fact, that the wmkg wonld
coht $:iOO,000, if propcilv put up, that the
building would go far beyond the ?f(t cut.
allowable for tho municipal corporation,
which it is, and thoreforo tho expenditure of
the $91,000, which I not calculated to com
plete the works, would be entirely illegal and
totally void; that tho proceedings of Counoll
are entirely illegal and totally void and that
the attempt to make a contract to eroct
water works with any individual or firm are
wholly void by reason of tho premises before
stated.
A ftlr iwlftntr fltnt ihn nrnTftrltnora nf
cjouncil, so far as increasing tho borough's
Indebtedness, bo set aside, Mr. Helming con
cludes his bill by asking tho court to
restrain tho borough, its officers, agents,
cjouncilinen and all others from issuing any
bond, note, bill or paper making the borough
liable for any monoy, and from signing, con
tracting or in anywiso making tho borough
liable for machinery, or other material con
nected with tho building of tho proposed
water works, and in tho namoof tho borough,
and from making, signing, sealing, delivering
or issuing any bond or instrument of writing
of any kind for or on behalf of said borough,
for tho erection of water works which is
now restrained by injunction.
The court is also asked to restrain Messrs.
Kerns and Qninn from demanding any paper
which wonld make the borough liable forany
money as a compensation for the building of
the works; that the borough be restrained
from taking advantage of the illegal eloction
which was held to increase tho indebtedness;
that tho Council and borough be re trained
from levying a tax to pay for bonds to be
issued to increase tne ooiough'a debt; re
straining the Council and borough officials
from contracting for building tho water
works and signing bonds for the increase of
Indebtedness until the hearing and per
petually thereafter.
The oM) was brought up before Judges
Pershing ami Beohtel this morning, the solio-
itors for tho water comjiany, borough and
Quinn and Kerns appearing. The court
granted a preliminary injunction and fixed
Monday next for argument as to whethor or
not the Injunction shall bo mado permanent.

AN ABLB DISOOURSB.
Mellt-red Sunday IC-tmlng In the M. It,
C'liuivh,
The sormon In the M. E. church, on Bun
day evening, was from the text, "Surely, the
wrath of uinn shall praise thee ; the re
mainder of wrath shalt thon restrain,''
Ps. 76-10.
The most signal example of this truth with
which we are familiar is the discovery of
America. Wo see it iu the character of the
man through whom this continent watt
ocncd up to Europe. It is customary t
speak no harm of the dead. But the truth
of history requires that it should be under
stood that Columbus was not the Saint that
many of his admirers afl'ect to believe, anil
most certainly have taught during this
celebration. He was a mau of like passioni
with oursclvos. llowbeit, he yielded to
them more than is now considered allowable
by men of very easy virtue.
I do not envy the honor of tho church that
claims him as her own. While wo honor him
for his courage and its achtevmcute, wo
rejoice in tho moral sense of his church and
its illustrious Pontiffs who have refused him
the houor of cauonisation because of his
abandonment of the wife of his youth aud
his adulterous union with another. It
would hardly do to canonize the father or
Illegitimate children. It redounds to tho
glory of God that ho can make such a
character tho means of such illln itablo
blessings to the world.
We also sco it in the time when It pleased
God to discover tho new world to the old.
Every school boy knows that Columbus was
not the original discoverer of America. If
you go to Icelaud to-day and mention
America in the hearing of the children fhey
will say, "O, yes, Lief Erickson discovered
that country the year 1001." The voyages of
llerjulfson and his oonteiuiorariea are as
truly historic us those of Columbus. Ahnoht
our ontire Atlantic coast was explored more
or less thoroughly uearly five hundred years
before Columbus set foot upon these shores.
Successive voyages were made down to
within 150 years of Columbus. And al
though tho evidence may be scant I, for one
think it very probable that Columbus gaiued
more than a hint of the existence of this
continent before his memorable voyage.
Cool calculation will respond, "Be it so; an
event is to be measured by its consequences.
From tho discoveries of tho Norsemen
nothing whatever resulted."
But christian philosophy demands why ?
But one answer can be given. The world
was not yet ripe for it. Christian thought
had not yet liborated iteelf. God reserved
America until that minor's son, Martin
Luther, whose inothur was carrying
wood on hor shoulders for his support while
God was directing the course of Columbus
across the deep, should ceme to years ami
strike the blow that was destined to emanci
pate the thought and luart from tho tyranuy
of priestcraft, and sound tho signal for the
lighting of the firos of persecution. Surely
it was more than a colneidenco; It was the
hand of God making tho wrath of man to
praise him, when ho raised up froni a perse
cuting church one of her own sons to iieint
out tho rofuge for his prosecuted saint.
He who fails to grasp roligious significance
of the event wo celebrate aud Its bearings;
ution the success of tho reformation utterly
fails to interpret its meaning. Our Oatholio
brethren havo oujoyed iu many places al
most a monopoly of the celebration, but who.
should rejoice in it more than those who
dissent from their teaching? We see it agaiu
in the results which have followed intellec
tual, moral and commercial.
The progress of tho world really dates from
the discovery of America. But one of the
most important facts in this connection is
that only that portion of tho American
continent which Columbus did not discovert
and over which his church never nequired
absoluto dominion, havo sha red iu that pro.
gross. If a church or a sy6tojn of religion
may bo known by iu fruits, the contrast in
point of iutolligenco, morals, enterprise,
prosperity, between those countries where
Catholicism holds undisputed sway and thesa
where it is tolerated upon an equal footiujj
with the other isms, aro overwhelmingly
against tho wisdom of allowing Rome to
share more largely iu our governmental
affairs.
Tho final thought U that there is an over
ruling Providouce operating through all
second causes, nnd that the honor of God
himwlf i bound up with the prpteeMou of
his people from everything that oau ultluiatejy
harm, When lie can no longer render tha
dosigus of men subserviont to ills plans Ho
will rontraln them. Neverthslass, "Bterual
vigilance is the price of safety."
