a Decision for Waterloo.

The state supreme court at Madison,
yesterday, in the suit of Samuel S.
Mariner VS.. the town of Waterloo, af
firmed the decision and order of the
circuit court of Jefferson county, made
last summer, setting aside the judg-
ment of more than 100000 which had
been entered up in said court against
said town. Mr.. Mariner being dissat-
isfied with said order of the circuit
court vacating his said judgment, ap
pealed from it to the supreme court,
with the result above stated.
This is great and browning victory
for the town of Waterloo, and frees it
under the statute of limitations from
nearly the whole of it's great railroad
debt
In the year 1856 Waterloo took vote
upon the question of issuing bonds to
aid in the construction of the Water
town and Madison railroad, and the
majority was against it. The road run
ming near the north line of the town
was of little or no advantage to the peo
plein the south part of the town, where
the principal farms and population
places of business were Watertown and
Johnson's Creek. Upon said PROPOSE
ton to loan the credit of the town be-
ing voted down, the railroad men soon
had another vote taken, and by the
importation of their men and friends
in counting, cot it announced as car
ried, and got the bonds which they had
taken the pains to have on hand COM
pletely executed, delivered at once in
the evening, at the close of the election
to the same railroad men,
The railroad company soon made de-
fault in the payment of the interest
and went into insolvency long years be-
fore the completion of the railroad by
another company which acquired it
freed from any obligation to protect the
town.
Then commenced efforts to collect
the defaulted interest of the town,
which employed in it's defence Daniel
Hall, of this city, who has been it's at
torney for upwards of twenty years in
all it's legal contests, and who succeed
ed in defeating all the efforts of the
bondholders to collect, until recently,
when at his request Col. G.. w. Bird
has been associated with him in our
state courts to which the bondholders
had transferred the contest.
The town debt amounted to about
| 5000, 900. While in the legislature Mr..
Hall had law passed, some eighteen
years ago, for the town, authorizing a
| compromise of it's debt at seventy per
cent. of the principal. This offer was
rejected by all the bondholders except
one or two, who held small amounts of
the bonds. This left nothing for the
town to do but to fight for existence
| There have been various suits defend
ed recently by both Col. Bird and Mr..
Hall, and under the decision of the
courts all the Indebtedness of the town
| of Waterloo is now barred or outlawed,
| except about fourteen or fifteen thous-
and dollars of it.

A MancHe ester Union man In tho course
OF his travels picked up'a :fenrIniscence
OF ye oldcn limo In the form Of partial
history Of . lady born and bred upon the
rugged hillsides Of tho old Granite State,
who, although rounding out tho last
year OF century since shc first saw tho
light, Is noted in the section where she
now resides as . person OF raro business
ability and sagacity.
Deborah Ball Powers drst saw tho
light Of day in that portion Of the town
OF Hebron known ~ Teuny Hill, in the
was born was . prosperous farming COM
munity in her carly days, peopled mostly
by families by the names of Crosby and
Ball, and the late Dr.. Ordway, ono of
the founders Of the wcll-known lumber
firm Of brown Lumber Company at
Whitcflcld, was raised In TINT imme-
dinte vicinity. But the glory of Tenny
Hill has long since departed, and not .
single resident now claims 1t az nome,
although In later years Mrs. Powers has
purchased the old HON ostead and will
retain 1t rs long as she lives.
Years ago Mr.. Powers, together with
his family, moved to Lansingburg. N.
Y, and engaged in tho manufacture OF
oil cloth carpet1lg, that industry then
being in its infancy, and he was one of
tho first to engage in the business. just
after getting under way the entire plant
was swept away by fire, placing the fam
lily In strattened circumstances, which
were further intensified by tho loss of
the husband and father, who was burned
to death. 1t was then that tho remark
able executive ability Of Mrs. Powers
came into full play.
Rising equal to the occasion. in COM
pany with her two sons, she rebuilt tho
works, and resumed the business of
making tho oil cloth carpeting, and tho
same is CARR ed on to this day under the
firm name Of d. Powers & Sons.
Tho products Of their mandatory
have wide reputation for excellence, q
fact duo to the personal supervision of
this energetic lady. She Is received as
ono OF the lending citizens Of lansing
burg, and Is always foremost in both
public and private enterprises. She. ut
tho present time, holds tho position of
president of one OF the largest banking
institutions in Lansingburg. and, to-
gether with her two sons, owns q con-
trolling iaterest in the street railway.
She was the founder of the Old
Ladies' Home in Lansingburg, where
she maintains ten inmates ut her own
expense.
While engaged in these works Of char.
ity In her adopted State, she never for

her last visit was made when she was
ninety-four years old. At her own OK
