ALTOOifA, Pa., Oct. (J. Quito n lively
fight Is on between tho Pennsylvania Hull
ruail company and tho little borough of
llellwood, He veil miles east of this plnca
The borough linn been engaged for soma
past at laying a water pipe Into the town
mid through the streets, anil at present
the work Is nbout complete with the ex
ception of tho making of a connect
ing link across tho tracks of the rail
road. This work It was the Intention ot
tho borough authorities to do on Satur
day night, and for tho purposo of accom
plishing their object without Interfering
with travel they hair secured tho services
of n largo number of coal miners to tun
nel tinder the tracks, lleforo either tho
men or material could ho put to use a
forco of railroad laborers nppenred upon
tho sccno unci began to dig tlltchos par
allel with the tracks on cither side and
also to run a tunnel under the tracks
nt tho point where the borough pcoplo do
sired to cross, tho intention being to fill nil
three with woter aud thus bar tho bor
ough poople out.
liut tho borough people, thinking they
saw a vny out of their ulfnculty, deter
mined to head the railroaders off by using
their ditch In which to lny the pipes, their
aim being to get across no matter whnt
ditch wns used. To this, however, tho
railroad pcoplo objected, nnd cars loaded
with cinders were run up. The filling of
tho ditches would have been soon com
pleted if the Bellwood Klro company with
n chemical engine had not appeared on tho
scene nnd commenced to piny upon the
railroad contingent, driving them nway
from the work. Tho railroaders then be
gan to flourish revolvers, and stones flow
thick as hail, but no one wns hurt with
the exception of llorough Engineer Get-
tleman, who was struck on tho head with
a largo stone and quite teriously Injured.
It being now near midnight, Chief Uur-
gess Slier notified the borough people to
quit work, and notified tho railroad em
ployes thnt If any of them did n single
stroko of work at that placo during the
hours of Sunday, arrest would at once fol
low. This brought the hostilities to n
close for the tlmo being, but It Is oxpected
the war will break out afresh.
Tho railroad people have mado n now
move by serving nu injunction on thollell
wood people, claiming thnt the water they
wish to use belongs to tho railroad, nnd
that the erection of n dnm nnd crossing
their tracks by a pipe line will be dan

What He Keen nnd Hears During Ills
Travels.
A good story Is told of Judge Mctzgar, of
Willlamsport, who was recently presiding on
tho Bench at Sunbury. Tho Judgo Is afflicted
with a nervous troublo that causes an In
cessant twitching of tho muscles of his eye
lids, which gives pcoplo who do not know of
tho nflllctlon the idea that tho Judgo is con
tinually winking. A woman charged with
being disreputable was called beforo hit honor
for sentence and tho remarks of tho prisoner,
as she was being lod back to tho Jail com
pletes tho story. Said she: "I taw him a
wfnklugat mo and thinks I, I'll wink at
him, So I winks onco or twico nnd ho winks
back again, and ho only gavo mo threo
months."
I object I A theatrical company starting
out from Now York has engaged a woman to
act as advance agent. Should such an agent
strike this placo and tho young men follow
tho examples gfven by tho girls when a malo
ngent arrivoa here tho town would bo com
pletely demoralized. But, upon reflection,
perhaps I am somewhat hasty. What has
been left for our young men since the baso
ball players invaded tho town?
There is considerable kicking by tho prop
erty owners along Jardln street against the
foes naked as a privilege for connecting witli
tho sower lino now in process of construction.
$100 is a pretty high-toned price for a thirty-
foot property, isn't it ? And merely for tho
privilege of connection. Tho peoplo who aro
putting in tho lino descrvo credit for their
cuterpriso and pluck, and they undoubtedly
should recclvo some return for tho money
they havo luvcstod, nnd tho tlmo and labor
expended, but their demands on tho property
owners eccm to savor somewhat of tho most
gigantic monopoly that has squatted upon
tho town, and tho Borough Council may yet
bo culled upon to summon them to account,
As I get tho story a property owner on North
Jardin street has been Informed thnt beforo
he can connect with tho line ho must secure
tho prlvilcgo ot connection by payment of
$100. This owner has a lot with thirty feet
front. Now say there aro 10 thirty feet lots
on each sido of Jardin street from Centre to
Lloyd streets, that will glvo tho sewerage
company $2,000 for privileges along that
square. Add $2,000 for tho properties on
botlt sldos from north Lloyd to Coal street,
aud $1,000 for tho two squares south from
Centre to Cherry streets, and wo find tho
grand iccomo of tho company on that street
for privileges Is $8,000, and thoy still have
