great feat,
On Friday, last, tho HniUtD published a
special dispatch from Pottsvillo announcing
that Judge Lyon, of Juniata county, had
decided the famous "Flyun stono wall" case
In favor of tho borough. It was tbo Inten
tion to give the public tho benefit of the
decision in full on Saturday, but a delay over
which the paper had uo control deferred the
publication uutil tho present issue.
A resumo of tho opinion as filed by the
court will show that tho Borough Council and
thoso'who were loyal to It In this important
contest have been completely vindicated.
Whllo the opinion as filed is a lengthy docu
ment, tho decision itself is remarkably clear,
brief and to the point. Especially is this so
as to tho responsibilities Mrs. Flynn assumed
when she bought tho property.
It should be noted that Judge Lyon decides
emphatically tho point which has been so
strongly emphasized by tho sympathizers
with tho stono wall movement. Tho learned
jurist doos not say that by giving tho right to
connect a sewer with a natural stream the
borough makes that stream a system of
public sewerage, and tlioreforo assumes con
trol and responsibility for it.
Tho decision is sweeping and clear in its
import and tbo people will be justified in
expecting somo definite action on tho part of
the authorities in charge
As to tho suggestion of tho court that a
sower be constructed by tbo borough to tho
sewer on Emerick street it may be said that
that Is merely a suggestion for economy,
predicated upon certain testimony taken by
the commissioner. When tbo proper tlmo
comes tho borough, it is understood, will
have evidence to show that certain parties
urged the construction of tho stono wall
erocted by Mr. Flyun to compel a system of
sewerage along Centra street to Kmerick
street ; that Mr. Flynn was so urged about a
year ho fore ho built the wall ; that this
advico was given because tbo Kmerick street
sewerage had not paid as well as anticipated,
and tho evidence of this will come from Mrs.
Flynn's family. It is also claimed this will
implicate claimants for damages, as well as
certain officials.
Tho decision of tho court in tho caso is as
follows ;
Kulo to show causa whv an Inlunctlon
should not issue, to restrain tho said defen
dants and thoso acting under them from tear
ing oown, destroying or removing a certain
wall on complainant's proporty in tho Borough
of tiheuandoah,
The bill was filed October 10th. 1890. and
the samo day rule granted to show cause why
an injunction should not issue according to
tho prayer of the bill. Testimony was taken
and the case argued Juno 0th, 1807.
The hill sets forth that tho said Catharine
Flyun is the owner of a lot of uround front
ing on South Gmcrick street, in the Borough
of Shenandoah, upou which is a dwelling
house occupied by herself and family.
ascoNl) : That herctotore, to wtt: about
a month ago, the said Catharine Flynn, as
the ownor of the premises aforesaid, Jaid, or
caused to bo laid, un eight inch pipe along
said lot to carry sewerage, in order to avoid
an offensive aud dangerous nuisance an said
lot, by reason of an open sewer thereon, tbo
condition of which was doing groat damage
to said property and threatening tho health
of your orator aud her family.
Thibd: That, in ordor to protect the
property of your orator, she built a wall at
tho back of said lot, which said wall is built
at the point where tho pipes aforesaid, wero
laid ; and tho Council of tho Borough of
bhonandoah havo given directions to tho
Chief Burgess of said Borough to tear down
and remove said stone wall, and tho said
Chief Burgess is about to remove said wall.
and has threatened to do so by employing a
large lorce or men tor that purpose.
couitTli: That by tho removal of salu
stcno wall all the offensive matter from
sewers and outhouses of a large part of the
boroueh of Shenandoah will bo thrown over
the property of your orator, and the premlsos

Second : Such other and farther relief as
to your Honors may seem meet.
The following are the lacts found from the
evidence :
Catharine Flyun. tbo complainant, by
article of agreement dated August 22nd, 1889,
purchased trom J. a. lieddall and S. A. Bed
dall, a lot of ground situate in tho borough
of Shenandoah, Schuylkill county, bolng a
part of tbo south side of lot number five (0)
in Mock number forty-flvo (45), containing
about fifteen feet front on Kmerick street,
and extending westward toward Peach alley,
of that wiutu, eiguty itsu) leet; on wutcli was
erected a two story frame dwelling house, for
which she agreed to pay tho sum or eight
hundred dollars and went into tho possession
of the Bame.
2. The entlro lot of ground was formerly
owned by tbo P. & E. It. U. Co., and had a
lronc oi mirty ieec on .meripic street and
extended westward from said street one hun
dred ana twenty lect to reacu alley.
3. Thomas J. Mullahey leased this lot of
ground and erected a bottling establishment
on the end of the lot fronting on Peach alley
and In 1887 purchased the said lot from the
1'. A U. K. K. uo. At tins time mere was a
stream of water flowing on said lot of ground
known a "Spring-house run," WnUahy
built a drain about three feet wldo and three
aud one-half feet deep, walling up the sides
of tho drain with a stone wall, through
whloh ho conducted this stream of water
aorosa the lot aud down alone the south i d
thereof to Kmerick street, whore It ran into
a culvert and from thence into tihenaudoah
creek.
4. While the lot of ground was in this con
ditlon Mullahy sold the east end of tho lot
fronting on Kmerick street, and exteuding
back from said street eichtiiv (80) feet to
Jos. S. and S. A. Beddall, who subsequently
erected a two story double framo dwolling
house which covered tho whole of the lot
fronting on Kme-lc.k street; covered over the
said drain with railroad sills which were then
covered with earth, the south end of the
dwelling house was built over this drain.
which ran underneath it through the cellar
aud out into tho culvert on Lmerlok street.
5. The DremlsM were in this condition
when Catharine Flynn became the purchaser
of the south s de of tho lot.
0. During the summer of I860 tho sills
which covered the drain having rotted, the
covering fell in, and during a freshet the
cellar of Mrs. Flynn was partially filled with
water ana nun so as tomato aer house un
healthy and almost unfit to live in, by reo-
ovor. In its course through the borough
there aro inlets at the streets and alleys
where it recoiros tho natural drainage of tho
Krt of tho town through which it flows,
ivato cititens hwo erected privies and
water-closets over it, and have with tho per
mission of tho Town Council constructed
sewers that empty into it, so that the
waters of tho stream are polluted, foul and
filthy, reeking with human excrement and
other filth. Tho water that is collected from
the streets and alleys is the natural drainage
of the water shod from falling rains and
melting snows, except in so far as it has been
augmented by the use of tho artificial supply
of water with which tho town is sunnlied.
0. Catharine Flynn caused a stone wall to
be built across tho west end of her lot and
put an eight inch terra cotta pipe through
this wall and extended It througli aud over
hor lot where tho former drain had botn.
This pipe being insufficient to carry off the
water that flowed down through the channel
of the stream oauscd It to dam back and form
a pond or lako which is denominated "Lake
Flynn," on tho adjoining lot or lots of ground
aud to over flow them aud All the cellars of
adjoining and neighboring houses with tho

stream, and thus creatlug the alleged nuis

lot amd wholly upon her own land and which
Catharino Flynn by this bill seeks to enjoin
them from doing.
10. Tho stream known as Sprlnghouse
Bun has never been taken and appropriated

DISCUSSION.
It was argued by counsol for Mrs. Flynn
that the ancient course and natural channel
of Springhouso Bun did not pass over or
through the lot ot ground now owned by
plaintiff but that it flowed across tho west
end of tho lot as originally laid out and then
through lands lying south of her lot. Thoro
was somo ovideuco tending to show that such
was tho fact : but it was not c oar or satis
factory. Nor is it material to tho decision of
this caso whether such was tho fact or not.
When Thomas J. Mullahy owned tho entlro
lot number 5 In block number 45 in 1887 or
1888 ho inado the drain and built tho wall
on its sides and conducted It over his
lot of ground whero it now is. Thoso who
purchased lrom htm bought tbo land subject
to this servitude or easement. It docs not
appear that any complaint was mado by ad
joining owners or lower riprian owners that
id o stream uau uceu uivcrtcu iromits natural
courso by Mr. Mullahy and ho testifies that
he did not change it. So that under the
evidence I am unable to find that tho natural
courso of tho stream had beon chanced. The
principal cause of complaint on tho part of
it i -1 i .1 i , : . . : . .
jjiis. f ij'uu la tuuii priviva nuu mud uiuacm
havo been erected over said stream so as to
ompty directly into It. This has been done
by private Individuals: but tbore is no ovi
deuco to show that any of them wero so
erected by liconso from or authority of tho
Town Council, and also that tho Town Coun
cil havo permitted drains to bo dug and
sewors constructed by private citizens and
tho contents of cesspools and wator closets
permitted to be carried through these drains
and sewers auu discharged into said stream
polluting tbo water and rendering it foul
and noxious and from which by reason
thereof thero arises an unbearable stench and
also increasing tho volume of wator which
flows through said channel. But has she a
legal rinht to complain of this? A boroueh
has a right to make a sower empty its drain
age into a natural stream even though tho
effect of this is to imreaso tho ilowage
fripkett on boroughs SB'. 3H, Munn vs Tho
Mayor of Pittshurz 40 Pa. 301. And it mav
also permit a privato citizen to dig up the
street anu lay a drain pipe into it for the pur
pose ot carrying oil tho surplus water trom
their buildluirs Wood vs McQroth 150 Pa. 451.
If therefore the flow of water was somewhat
increased Mrs. Flynu would have no right to
ousiruci us passage througli this channel.
il wouia only De becauso ot an unreason-
able increase in tho flow of water that
alio would have just cause of complaint.
And the evidence doos not establish the fact
that the eight inch nlno which she laid from
the stono wall ovor her lot to Kmerick street
is sufficient to carry the water which natur
ally Hows down said stream without auv in-
crease in volume whatovor. Her right to ob
struct the flow of tho water in the manner
she has is by no means clear. The evidence
is contradictory. Ho irreparable injury will

MUSLIN, TUCKING, &C
Pittsburg', Sept. C Expectations are
high In coal mining circles over the
probable resumption of work In the
mines throughout the country. In an
ticipation of a settlement nt Columbus
next Wednesday another plan has been
suggested by a representative of one
of the largest operators which will be
agitated Immediately after the men
return to work. It will be formulated
and submitted to the joint convention
of operators and miners, which It is
proposed to hold next December.
In order to come to an understanding
on all questions at issue separate wage
scaloa are to be formulated for each
mine. The scale Is to provide for the
rate to be paid for the entire year, and
any special concessions that are to be
made are to be agreed upon by the
miners and operators, and so specified
In the scale. The scale is to be an ad
junct to the uniformity agreement
which Is expected to be in force. The
proposition will be made by the oper
ators In the hope ot getting all the safe
guards possible against a probable
strike.
It Is well known that there are no
two mines In the entire district where
the conditions are exactly alike. The
uniformity agreement covers the gen
eral points, but even with It in ex
Istencc some operators would be sub
jected to difficulties, while others would
have special advantages. The scale is
to cover all these points, the primary
object being to avert differences, create
a more friendly feeling between the
employers and employes and restore
perfect harmony throughout the dis
trict.
Philip Stambaugh, a cousin of Presi
dent McKlnley, and a partner of the
firm of Osborne, Saeger & Co., was In
Pittsburg yeBtorday afternoon. He
said the men formerly employed In tho
Eollpse mine on the "Wheeling division
ot the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
would be asked to go to work at once
at the C5 cent rate. He was not pre
pared to say how many men would
go to work.
David Van Eman, manager of the
Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal com
pany's mines at Snowden and Gas
tonvllle, announced more than a week
ago that he would resume work in
his mines this morning. Notices were
served on all the men living in com
pany houses to vacate, and the ten
day limit expired this morning. None
of the men went to work. Manager
Van Eman could not be seen, but It
Is generally supposed that no effort
will be made to resume until after the
ColumbUB convention.
There was a report at Turtle Creek
yesterday that agents of the Cleve
land and Now York Gas Coal com
pany were working among the for
eign strikers, endeavoring to get them
to return to work at the B4 cent rate,
on the promise that halt of their wages
which are being held back by the
oompany would be paid on Sept. 25,
and the other half on Oct. 25. Steps
were at once taken to offset this move,
and the campers' missionaries report
that none of the men will go back to
work until the strike Is settled.
We can't make type tell you
how big those bargains are.
So do not let those chances
like sunbeams pass you by.
