SI What News Gatherers Glean on Their Rounds. OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE If all Local Controversies Slinalcl Cease Ilie People of the Town Would Kejolce. Home Hopes of Water Company l'cople. Must Take It an It Comes. Tho announcement In last evening's IlKKALU that the people holding the con trolling Interest In the Shenandoah Water & Gas Company had decided not to appeal, was received by many with gratification and from the opinions expressed it seoms safe to say that the sentiment of the majority of the people is that there should bo no more litigation in tho courts if it can bo possl blv avoided. Litigations have been pending for two years aim tue water company lias ueen beaten on every ground upon which It has based an action. Though tho borough has been successful it has been n heavy loser. financially. owinir to the extra counsel fees and other expenses vtnicn navo accumulated during tno pro gress of the suits. These two phases have impressed themselves upon tho minds of a majority of the people and they have become heartly tired of litiga tion. ' 'or this reason last evening's an nouncement was very gratifying. Another view taken of tho mattor is that the water company should be content to drop litigation for the present at least. The borough has furnished a bond to insure it against damage and tho court has declared that tho bond is legal and sufllcient, therefore the company is in the position of a secured debtor and should await developments. It has been learned that there aro some people interested In the water company who are mutual. They will be sntisfled with whatever the majority may do. But these people have by no means abandoned hone of the ultimate realization of a pre diction mnde some time ngo that water will never run through the public water works unless some authority is secured by n special Act of the Legislature. One of these people stated that he was as firmly convinced as ever that the works cannot possibly be completed at a cost of less than tlfiO.OOO, and the borough dare not expend a cent more than the amount authorized by the special election of 1MJ2 without noiuing another special election, and even in that event the borough debt cannot ue increased to more than a sum that will make the total appropriation for water works about $135,000, and that win leave tho worKs nt least j lo.lKK) snort of completion, and there the borough will be obliged to stop, unless it secures relief from the Legislature. But these holies, at best, are only food for cheerful reflection by those most con cerned. It is true that were an election to he held to-morrow to decide whether the borough should have public water works the measure would be defeated. The increased taxation and tho Increase which all property owners fear must follow, and many other developments have created a sentiment which is dis tinctly anti-water, but with all this, if an election is held for an extra appropriation the people will vote in the affirmative, for when the question is put squarely before them nine out of every ten would decide against allowing eighty or ninety thous and dollars worth of material and labor to go to waste; and it Is just as certain that should tho borough he obliged to seek re lief at the hands of the Legislature it win get it. The water works will be completed. If the people sutler from exorbitant taxa tion in tho accomplishment of that result they will be obliged to grin and bear it. as the majority of them either voted to start tno movement, or retrained irom voting against it.

It Wilt Tent the nights or Workmen and Company stores. One of tho most Important casos to tho worklngmen of tho Anthracite region that has been argued In this section for somo time, Is that now beforo tho court at Shamokln. It Is a case that Involves the rights of tho worklngmen and tests the constitutional right of comp.iny stores to attach tho earnings of their employes. Tho suit in cniestlon is brought bv P. A.

Carmcl, to recover wnce amounts that will accre- gate 1200. biieauer runs a company store In con nection with tho colliery, at which tho men are compelled to deal, and, as is the rtlle.'at the end of the month the amount of each man's indebtedness nt the storo was deducted from his monthly earnings. The nion claimed that everything moved smoothly as long as they weroin Slienffer's debt.lbut as quirk as their wages would not cover the amount of goods purchased ho wjjtild not give them credit until the money was coining to them, llenco tho sultjb Tiyflaw upon which the men base their clalnjts as follows -. "That laborers and wagoiearnprs of their authorized repre sentatives must receive their wages in the full amount in Vnited States money. Kmplbyes violating tho abovo aro subject to a Jlne of not exceeding $200." Tho second section of tho samo act states that under no circumstances can wages bo attached. Thousands of dollars aro obtained monthly from the miners in this region by the violation of this law, and this Is the first test case that lias been brought to the attention of the court, and the decision of the latter is awaited with Interest by the miners.
