AWAsniNGToN dispatch says that the
Postoflice Department discourages the
proposition for the reduction of postage
likely to result from the surplus reye-
nues and estimated surplus of next year
The policy of the department looks to
the increased efficiency of the service
rather than decreased postage. and will
urge the employment of subsidies to Sc
cure it. If the postage is reduced, il
will not only wipe out the surplus, but
will leave the Government behind in the
balance of receipts and expenditures
and the Postoffice authorities fully be
lieve that greater economy would show

better time upon Western roads whose
limited through: passenger traffic will
not admit of running the lightning
trains which so greatly aid the mails
upon Eastern trunk lines.

MYERS LAKE WATER SUPPLY.
The District Court Decides that the Cit,
Has Right to Use the Water.

The District Court Decides that the City
Has Right to Use the Water.
An interesting suit relating to the
water supply from Myers Lake has Just
been decided in District Court, the
opinion being announced by Judge
woodbury. reversing the decision of the
Court of Common Pleas granting JOS
eph A. Meyer a perpetual Injunction
against the city, preventing the further
use OF lake water for municipal purpO-
ses., The case was carried up, on ap-
peal by City Solicitor John C. Welty as
sisted by VIM. r. Day and the plaintiff
was represented by Messrs. Clark Bros.
Ihe basis for the perpetual Injunction
was that the city was drawing water out
OF the lake, after it had reached low
water mark, and it became a question
what was meant by the term Glow water
mark.
The city claimed first, the right to
draw all the water necessary for the
present and future use of the city of
canton. Second, to carry it through
pipes, over land regularly appropriated
tOr that purpose, and also claimed that
the records did not show that they
were limited to low water mark, that
term merely conveying the same mean
ing as certain post or stake does in
land surveying, being point of land
farthest out in the lake, as the end of
the line of land appropriated, so that
the city could conveniently get its
pipes in position to draw water, and has
no reference to the actual depth of wa
ter as that was contained in the first
proposition, that the city had the right
to draw water for all necessary purpo-
ses, in any quantity needed, which it
could nOt do, if limited to a certain ar
bltrary water surface. The Court held
that the city's points were well taken and
reversed the decision of the Court be-
low, leaving Canton free to draw water
from the lake, at pleasure. 1t is the in
tentlon to use the lake merely as a res
erv0lr for fires or other emergency, such
as arrangement to the pumping ma
ch1nery and the like, for with the pro-
posed improvement of the creek, by
building a race and tearing out the
dams, an unfailing supply of pure
drinking water will be always at hand,
and the lake will only be considered as a
reserve, only to be used in case of ne
cessity by the city. Whether the case
Will receive any more legal attention OF
be allowed to rest on this present basis
OF settlement must be left to the future
to determine.

Murder and Suicide.

Last Sunday morning, William Stull,
a Farmland who had been working for
Collins Summers, near North George
town, COlumbiana county, but discharg-
ed few weeks previously, went to the
barn where Mrs. Summers was milk
ing, and after bidding her good morn
ing, drew revolver and fired five shots
at her, one striking her in the back, hit
ting the spinal column, causing paraly-
sis of the lower part of the body; sec
Ond took effect back of the left armpit,
running around to the breast bone. The
third struck her just above the knee.
The murderer fled and was tracked to
the neighbOrhood of 0snaburg by the
officers, and on Tuesday morning the
Sheriff of COlumbiana county and six
deputies caught sight of him in the
woods near New Franklin, and sur
rounded him. Finding escape impOssi-
BILE, he drew the same revolver that did
the shooting, placed it to his forehead,
pulled the trigger and fell, dying in a
few moments. He was barely % years
old, and bore a grudge against Mrs
Summers, as he thought she had Sc
cured his discharge from the farm. Mrs
Summers is lying in critical condition.

that for fineness of display, and taste

many of its competitors. One especial
attraction is line of very fine land
