THE DAM AND CANAL.

The report then quotes at length from the
REcoRD-UN NI,N of April 18th last, full history
of the various Acts of the Legislature relative
TO the Folsom Prison, and continues as follows ::
Such was the condition OF the canal and dam
at that date. he attention OF hiS EXcelieDcy,
Governor Waterman. having been called 10 the
e, terprise, he made an inspection of the pro-
posed work, and also examined the deeds and
/ all statutes Cariug u! ON the subject, and be-
| coming convinced that the benefits that would
aerue TO the state We're so large that another at
tealpt ought TO be made to form satisfactory
agreement with the Folsom Water Power Gem
pany in order 10 realize the many natural al :
yantages that were obtained IL the original
| location OF the prison. Accordingly the Gov
ernoT called special meeting of your honorable
board for May 5th and also notified Mr.. Liver
| more TO submit propositions in accordance with
the decision OF the Couts to resume work on
| the dam and canal.
At q meeting OF May 5th general agreement
was reached TO resume work as soon as practi-
cable, which agreement was subsequently rati-
| fed 81 San Francisco on May 18th, by the terms
of which the canal was widened to forty feet,
and the state fail inores sad from i've feet to &
feet, ana the power to be attained by the State
increased from 80 horse power 10 600 horse
power and many other rights and privileges
were definitely secured to the state, that had
been constant scouIce Of trouble and annoy

Amongst these was the right to stump water,

Other Coal FieIdaAmcciea.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Jan. 4.-The strike
OF the miners in the employ OF the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron com
pany, and Of individual operators in the
schuylkill region has barely begun, but the
cry OF scarcity Of coal is already heard
here. The protracted strike of the Lehieh
operative and the cutting of Of the supply
from that region had tendency 10 tax the
output OF the anthracite fields severely. so
That the supplies on hand in this State
have In many instances fallen far below the
requirements Of dealers. IL has been
known Tor some time past that the Read
ing railroad company has lately been un.
able To meet the demands Of its line and
city trade, and the suspicion has been
freely expressed that coal for customers on
It's route has been diverted by the company
TO It's own use. Inquiries in all quarters OF
the city today show the retail wards are
either comparatively bare Of coal or their
supply IL generally below that usually car.
RED. ut this season. Many dealers an
nounce that they will not sell morc than
one ton Of coal on each order, and that the
price has advanced 80 10 IS cents per ton.
should the strike in the Schuylkill be an
extended one, II will not be long before
thousands OF iron workers will be thrown
out OF employment for want OF coal.

THE READING STRIKE.
THE RESULT BJcomNo MORE AND
MORE ALARMING.
A Fearful stagnation In the Traffic in
Coal on theIReading Road Yesterday
Other Authracite Regions Affected
by the Shut Tout.

READING, Pa, Jan. 1.-The fact that
there is o coal piners strike in the Schuyl-
kill regions is already perceptible all along
the main line and branches OF the Reading
railroad. There is fearful stagnation in
the coal traffic. During the twenty-four
hours ending with noon today but 1000
cars OF coal were sent through this city, in
place OF the accustomed 5000 and 6,0O0
cars in that time. The discharge OF 400
men employed in the coal traffic on the
Reading railroad last night, II is believed,
will be followed by many others in a few
days The company employs 1900 men,
made up into 400 crews, in hauling coal to
tide water and interior points, and not one
fourth Of these will be required IL the in
dividual operators alone continue working.
II IS learned at the Office OF the company
in this city that II will furnish individual
colleries for the present all the empty cars
they need and haul their coal, although no
contract has been made with them, The
company Is mining hardly enough coal for
lts own purposes, and all that is now sent
down comes from collieries operated bv
private parties. but their output will no,
near supply the cities and towns and
numerous industrial establishments in the
sSchuylkill valley alone. Many persons are
hopeful that the Pennsylvania railroad
may relieve the urgent necessities OF this
section. The superintendent of the Penn
ssylvania road, Reed, Of this city, says that
the company Is now hauling 1000 tons OF
coal day, and that this capacity could be
increased TO 1000 tons The general inn
preston in this city is that the miners en-
ployed in individual collieries will also
strike when they find that it is being
hauled by non-union trainmen.

MI CITY TAX SALE.

Since the incorporation of Scranton
in 1856, a nuHberof TAX PAYERS, anon.
them some of our best citizens, have
been 50 much dissatisfied with The
scheme of Incorporation in the frs
place and the administration of mu.
nicipal affairs aflerward, that, from
the beginning they refused To- pay tax
es. Daring the years 1886 and 1881
no attempt was made to enforce the
collection of AL valorum taxes by dis
Iress, on account OF such diSafltction
aud avowel determination not to pay.
Upon the election of a new Board of
Mayor aud Aldermen and Il new Mar
shal. in 1888, the new broom proposed
TO sweep clean and settle old scores,
aud ordered the Marshal to proceed
to collect the back taxes for 1886 and
1887. Hence the advertisement of
sale for city taxes to take place next
Monday, Oct. lst.
ose alleged Gcllnquents, who have
been waiting for the first firing on
Fort Sumpter, at once employed Mr..
II. ID. Everitt as their counsel to take
legal steps of resistance. a bill was
prepared aud forwarded to Chancellor
Evans last week, signed by several of
the leading spirits praying an i%njunc-
ton ON behalf of all the deliaquonts
to restrain the entire proceedings, on
the following grounds:
1st. Ordinance No. IA required no
tice of sale to be gwen by posting in
stead of publishing in new spaper.
2nd. No fiscal year has been estab-
lished.
Bird. No assessment Or assessment
roll was made or kept during those
years.
4th. M levy was properly made
during those years.
5th. That the levy is excessive.
Chancellor Evans promptly granted
the Injunction as prayed for fixing
the bond at $4,000.
II now remain to be seen whether
the Board can or will overcome these
objections or not. Another question
that viii be urged viii be an interest
ing one. That is whether or NOT the
can. under any circumstances
back taxes for previous years,
considering that taxation Is not a
debt created against the tax payer,
and ndfsuch power is given by The
