THE! fti SOLO
Conditional Sale of the "Water
Works Made To-da,v.
ACTUAL POSSESSION IS NOT
YET GIVEN, HOWEVER.
THE BOROUGH'S (SHAME I
Till: AdltllKH ISN'T CONSUMMATED AT
PHILADELPHIA.
Tho Colliorios to bo Supplied by
the Old Plant Until tho Public
Works aro Oomplotod.Whon tho
Purchaser Has Exclusive Uso.
Tho time has arrived when the borough
must push the public water works to
completion at the earliest possible mo
ment. This is not n statement made to
harasi the Borough Council when it Is
now In conflict with tho contractor of the
now works, but Is a warning based upon
facts which, as presented here, will no
doubt impress themselves upon the minds
of the Council and the people at large
with due effect.
This morning a Heuald reporter heard
n rumor that the plant ot the Shenandoah
Water & Gas Company had been sold to
tho Philadelphia- & Bending Coal & Iron
Company. As Mr. C. E. Titman has re
ceutlylCbeen a heavy purchaser of the
water company's stock lie was considered
tho best authority on such a deal if it had
an existence, and the reporter sought him
but failed to get any satisfaction. Mr.
Titmau would not admit, deny or even
express an opinion as to the probable
truth of the report.
In all emergencies where a good piece
of news is at stake tho newspaper men
have a knack of getting at tho facts by
hook or crook, and this case was not an
exception.
The HliliALI) is in a position to state
that the plant of the Shenandoah Water
& Gas Company, by on agreement signed
to-day, has been conditionally sold to the
Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron
Company.
To be more explicit, the agreement
signed to-day provides for arrangements
by which tho plant of the water company
is to be connected with all tho collieries
of the P. & It. company and as soon ns
the connections are made tho water com-
p vny is to begin supplying the collieries
with all the water it can, and when the
plant of the water works is completed the
plant of tho Shenandoah Water and Gas
Company, or at least the entire supply of
the plant, is to be turned over to the P. &
It. C. & I. Co.
It has been impossible to ascertain
what consideration tho water company is
to receive for its water, how much water
tho collieries will require, or what con
slderation will be paid upon the transfer
of the plant to the P. & H. O. & I. Com
pany, but.it Is said that pending the com
pletion of the public water works the
collieries will bo entitled to draw from
the plunt whenever thev need water and
there is any for tbeui. The town will not
be cut oil to nfford a supply for the col
lieries ot vice versa.
From this statement of facts tho Coun
cil and citizens should readily realize how
imnortant it is that the comiiletion of the
public water works shall be pushed as
last as possime. mo erection ot tne pub
lic works was urged because the old com
pany could not BUfllciently supply the
town, and, if that assertion wus correct,
how much more so will it be when the
collieries begin to draw from the mailt.
It is understood the stockholders of the
old company are Very anxious for the
comiiletion of tho new works, so that thev
may consummate the final deal with the
P. & It. C. & I. Co., and bo relieved of .the
expense and trouble attending the opera
tion or. me town portion 01 cue warns.
It is also stated upon reliable authority
that Mr. C. K. Titman. of town, hns be
come the owner of the majority of the
water company's stocK, Having recently
purchased the shares owned by Messrs.
Charles Bowman and John A. Cather.
It is quite natural that the announce
ment of this deal will create much discus
sion, but whatever comment may be
made upon It the Shenandoah Water and
Gas Company cannot Justly be rendered
subject to criticism. It has had a chance
to sell its nlant and accented it. The
borough had a chance to make tho pur
chase and would not do it. That there
should be very much surprise over the
ileal is not in tne course 01 natural events,
ns enrlv last Mar the llEltALl) sounded
the warning, Reference to a copy of the
paper 01 ;uay loin win reveal ine ioiiow

Hab an Offku.
It is Said to be 1100,000 The P. & R. C. &
I. Co. or the Glrard Estate Thought to
be the Bidder Some Possible Effects
of a Transfer.
There Is a rumor ailnat whloh affords
an explanation for the complacency with
which the old water company views the
construction of the public water works
MUM
I BUYERS
nnd the nurchnse of a lortre block of stock
of the old company by Mr. Charles E.
Titmau.
This rumor, which, by the way, seems
to be founded upon reliable nutftoritv, is
to the effect that thero Is an offer of J10).-
000 for the old works, tho trnnsferto be
made as .soon as the public works are
completed.
t'eopie wuo suosm Know Honietning
about the matter are very reticent when
spoken to In connection Ith it, hut one
of them has said that if any oiler has been
mado It hns come from the Glrard Kstato
or the Philadelphia & Rending Coal &
Iron Company. While somo peoplo nre
inclined to smile at the report there are
others who wink knowingly and say that
the old water company knew what it whs
doing when, sometime ago, it refused tho
borough' price for the plant.
The P. Ac R. C. & I. Co. could make
good use of the plant, ns It always re
quires a lnrge supply of water for its
collieries, and in season of drought has
frequently found Itself seriously handi
capped by a scarcity. It Is not long since
the company was obliged to fall back
upon a system of purifying sulphur
water, IKlt it proved a failure, (rent
dnniHge Was caused to the colliery boilers
nnd the experiment proved an expensive
one.
But the question arise", what effect
will a purchase nnd a restriction to pri
vate nse of the old plant have upon the
borough t Should any nc. 'blent befall
the new plant the town will be entirely
at the mercy of the purchaser of the old
one and the latter may claim that its sup
ply Is nbjolutrly necessary for Its own
uso. Then, again, there arc a number
of people In the town who have figured
that the cost required to counect their
properties with the new works will pay
their water rent to tho old company
and their water tax to the borough for
several years, and consequently they will
not make a chnnce fornfewvenrsntlenst.
but should a sale be made the change
will bo required at once.
Still another vie ir of tho contemplated
change is that notwithstanding nil that
is claimed for the new works the borough
may yet find the old plant n very valuable
stand-by and that if tho town could keep
the plant from passing into the hands of
the P. & R. compnny or Glrard Estnte it
would be policy to do.so. Tho population
of the town is constantly and rapidly in
creasing, there is a growing desire for
new Industrie?, nnd with such additions
M tho new brewery the town will require
n grenter supply of water than ever tne
new plant In full and perfect order can
supply.

V great many people were disappointed
yesterday when the Wllllamsports failed
to put in an appearance against the home

know the circumstnnces very naturally
jumped to tho conclusion that they had
been "faked." Such was not the case,
however. The Wllllamsports were booked
early in the week and It was not until 8
o'clock Saturday night thnt they enn
celled tho date. It is understood they
are on tho ragged edge flunuclnlly nnd
thnt thero Is some trouble between the
management and plnyers.
Left at sea at the last moment the
home management was obliged to take
what It could get and the only material

The home tenm did nil It could to nrevent
the necessity of having so many men go

Tho fourth inning showed beyond nil

Yerkes gave three men their bases on balls
nnd tho bn'es were filled twice, yet the
visitors could not. get in n run. Hall was

error and wns moved up to third by Morse
