THE LOCAL
WATER SUPPLY
Progress of the Public Water Works
Construction.
ONE PUMP IS COMPLETED !
Mr.
Gallagher Says Water Will RunJln
Six Weeks The Old Company's
Commendable Precautions.
Councilman E. F. Gallagher, who 4s
chairman ot the committee on public
water works, has returned from Jeanes
vllle, where he inspected the pumps which
are being made for the works and made
measurements required in connection
with the order for the steel pipe which Is
to connect the Fowlers Run reservoir
with the pumping station.
fr. OAllnffher snva one of the numns
has been completed and will be shipped
from Jeanesville to-day. It will be de
livered at Brnndonvtlle, the nearest point
of railway connection, to the pumping
station at Davis' Hun. Mr, Gallagher
also says that the second pump will be
finished within n few days, that both will
be Dut in Dosition without delay and if
the contracts for the manufacture, de
livery and laying of the steel pipe are
carried out all connection 'will be com
plete and the operation of the works will
be inaugurated wnnin six weeKs.
While the chairman and other members
of the water committee are enthusiastic
over the prospects and firm in the belief
mat tne worKs win oe reauy zoroperaiion
within the time specified, there are a great
many people who are just so Arm In the
belief that the operations will not materi
alize before the latter part of next spring,
or first part of the summer.
The adherents to the latter belief point
to the fact that the difficulty between
Contractor Quinn and the Borough
Council over the breach in the Davis' Hun
reservoir has not been adjusted and the
breach is still there. It lias been iutl
mated that there is very little likelihood
of Mr. Quinn repairing the reservoir at
his own expense. He oltered to stand half
and this the Council rejected, at the same
time emne notice to Air. uuinn co repair
the damage and if he failed to do it the
borough would and charge the expense
against the contractor. Mr. Quinn has
not replied yet ana snouid ms answer' be
in the negative, when it does come, it may
lean to complications.
Meanwhile the Shenandoah Water &
Gas ComDanv IscuiovlnK a harvest ot fa
vorable nubile opinion. It is trointr about
Its business as If the publlo water works
had no existence at an nna is looking al
ter the interests of the community with
painstaking diligence. The restrictions
placed upon the company's distribution
of water has resulted in keening on hand a
supply of pure quality and there Is no
room ior comniaint on mat score
during the hours the hydrants
are in use. in nddition to mis tne com
pany has cut off the supply to the collieries
altogether and these places must look to
other sources they can command until
such time as the drought breaks. This
step has contributed towards winning
additional good win lor tne compnny.
Of course there ore some people who
will take the stand that the people are In
no way under obligations to the company
for the measures it has taken In behalf of
the consumers and that if It did otherwise
a lively fight could be made upon it under
its cnarter, out an conservative people
must admit that the course of the com
pany Is a magnanimous and judicious
one, sucu as it couiu avoid, u it wisueu
aud give the people a much worse
snpply than they are receiving. Water Is
scarce in all parts of the region and mnnv
places are complaining that the water is
unfit to drink, but in the case of the Shen
andoah Water Company the precautions
taken hove served tolkeep on hand a good
quality and a very fair supply. Taking
everything in consideration, there are
many worse corporations than the old
water company.

NEW CHURCH
MOVEMENT.
Congregation Organized at Free
land on Sunday.
TS DOCTRINES STATED !
Rev. Dcmbskl is the Pastor Called and
Announces One of the Reforms
Ue Will Institute.
The dally papers of the country have
been devoting considerable Bpaco lately to
the publication ot details attending the
establishment of an American Catholic
church by the Poles and one of the latest
articles stated 'that twenty thousand of
the poople had seceded from tho Papal
authority of Rome.
According to tho accounts referred to
the movement has been limited almost
exclusively to the western nnd south
western part of the country, but from
information gleaned by the IlKiiALD there
is roason to believe that tho movement is
almost as strong in' this state as in any
other.
This Is substantiated by developments
In Freeland. On Sunday last three hun
dred people of that place organized to es
tablish a congregation with the principles
of the old Catholic church as its founda
tion. The Information concerning the
movement comes direct to the HERALD
from people in authority.
Tho Freeland people who have under
taken to establish this church are said to
comprise many of the most Influential
citizens ot this town and, it is said, they
will purchase for cash nn odiflce which
wns auauuoneu uy nnotuer denomination.
According to the informant the doc
trlnes of this new church will be: (11
No relation to the Romish church; (2) the
people shall own their own church prop
erty nnd hold the deed for it; (3) tho people
shall have the right to choose their pas
tors: the ftennle shall have the rlttht to
read what books they please nnd the right
to nrl ate conscience.
The people of bhennndoah will be
especially interested in this movement

une oi our local clergymen snld last
night, In referring to the movement at
Freeland, "While It would bo natural for
us to conclude from the sweenlnir profes
sions of those engaged lu this movement
tnat tney are uecoming true Protestants
(l. e. unristinns, yet at the same time
think It very doubtful, nye Impossible, to
call this a real Christian movement, as I
see it. Every Christian movement has ns
its fundamental principle, tho statement
made by Paul, Gal. a.n, 'A man is not
Justified by the works o the law. but by
the faith of Jesus Christ.' They profess
to return to tne muie, nut you see plainly
that they may still not make Christ their
ground of faith and hope. Of course we
all herald such a movement with joy, for
when a people rise at all it is a cause of
rejoicing, nut unless they come to see
Christ in truth, they lack the funda
mental principle of Christianity and
Protestantism."

WAS KIDNAPPING INTENDED ?
A Sensational Story Which Comes From
Over the Hill.
Bpeolal to the Heualu.
Mahanoy City, Aug. tS Considerable
excitement wns caused on South Main
street at about 0:30 o'clock Sunday even
ing by frantic cries for police by two
young women. It appears that a young
uinn who did not belong on the premises
got into the house ot Kdward btoeckel
the boiler manufacturer, aud was dis
covered by Mr. Stoeckel's daughters, who
gave vent to the cries which alurmed the
neighborhood. The young man got away
before tho Police arrived.
The strange part of tho story Is that a
claim of attempted kidnapping is made.
It is said that Mr. Stoeckel adores his
youngest daughter, who Is about eight
months old, nnd should she be stolen from
him he would spend nil his money to re
cover her, if necessary. The intruder, it
is snid, to have been watching the child
for some time and it is olnimed the visit
ou Sunday night was a second attempt at
Kidnapping, it l also asserted that the
young man is known and will be plaoed
under arrest in a day or two.
