A LAND STEAL
The Lehigh Valleys Mill
Greek Move an Outrage
GUS Aggression.
ALL TO BUILD A COAL TRACK
Natural Drainage Cut Of---The
Recklessness of Foundrymea
Blocking the Syphon I'M
der the Canal.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
suspended work this morning on the crib
work, which they are building out into
MIL Greek to protect. as they say. their
embellishments from the encroachments
OF the tide. The real object OF ths
crib work was made apparent this
morning, when / learned that for
some time the railroad company
has been trying to abtain from the owners
OF the property on the east side of the
creek from the canal to Gilchrist street
right of way through the land for a single
track Although the company has
o1tered heavy Inducements to the owners
IT has been unable to succeed in securing
the right OF way through the property
1t has been learned that the object Of
this single track was to carry coal to the
sash weight foundry on the east bank Of
the canal at Grand street.
A FLANK MOVEMENT.
1t is now said that, having failed in its
purpose to secure the right Of way
through the property on the east
bank of the creek, the COMPANY
proposes to film the west bank as far out
into the stream as it dare, and then
throw drawbridge over the water sirni-
lar TO the one by which its freight cars
~'~N ON~AAh~As IL
can then run its coal cars over the tracks
1t cow has in its new freight yard at Pa
c1f1c avenue and Grand street up to Mill
creek and carry them over into the foun-
dry yard by the awbridge.
At the Office Of the Street and Water
Board 1t was said this morning that the
company was certainly on its own prop
erty and it was not seen how any action
could be taken legally by the city author
tiles. There is question, however.
whether even If the company does own
to the centre of the creek it has the right
to fill in to that line
Ii the company has the right to do SO
the owners on the other side, whe also
own to the centre of the creek, have also
the right to fill in, and if both do SO they
will certainly fill up the creek and stop
up the natural drainage of large section
of the city.
LOOKING UP THE LAW.
Corporation Counsel Edwards, in view
OF these facts. is now engaged in looking
up the question with view to ascertain
ing what action, If any, the city can take
in the premises.
The action Of the Lehigh Valley COM
pany in building the crib work has
brought to light state ofafairs whfch
Of the Court of Chan,sry. BY an
actual showing which was recently
made it has been ascertained
that the Sash foundry people have filed
in the east bank OF the creek 10 boy oIsss q

filing is of such q light nature that the
ebb and flow of the tide is constantly
washing 1t away.
The light material is washed down to
the syphon, which carries the waters Of
the creek under the canal where it re-
mains, steadily growing frner and more
compact and making a solid barrier
which threatens before long to dam
up the creek entirely and cut off the out

Low Fines Do Not Stop Illegal Selling.
Chief of Police Murphy talked Incl
dentally this morning uPn the subject
of the sale of liquor in tits city without

or twenty thus selling.
"a number. of years ago, and indeed,
up to year ago, no liquoi was sold here
without license. Close 3atch was kept;
but the license was lo2, and dealers
found it didn't pay to violte the law
"Now the license is fixed at $780, The
penalty for violations redains the same,
not to exceed S25. Up to that amount it
is discretionary with the magistrate If

and City Collector O'Neill made speeches.
Mr.. McDonald's speech made sensa-
tlon. He charged that he would
not have been unseaued had the Gov

the Governor was elected by the same
alleged irregular methods that he was re-
Jected by. but qualified his statement by
saying he believed he was honestly
elected, and that he would at some future
time appeal to the people Of this
county to vindicate him. During his re-
cital the Governor wheeled about in his
chair and turned his back on Mcdonald.
The feelings of the hearers could be ac-
curately measured by the applause When
Mcdonald was introduced 1t was
an ovation, when he stopped speaking, of
the orthodox complimentary kind. 1t

Wis was outside near the window when
Mcdonald spoke. He simply shook his
head and listened.
The sail home was enjoyable. There
were an abundance of temperance
drinks and cigars, and every one was in
good shape and good humor. The outing
was gigantic success.

rna late n. n. R,ddleberger.

Ex.United States Senator II. II. RIDDLE
BERGER died yesterday morning at Wood
stock. Shenandoah county. at 2:3o o'clock,
after short and painful illness. HAIR
RIsox Hour RIppLEDEaoE. was born in
Edinburg, Shenandoah, October 4, 1874.
He was educated at private school and
under private tutors. and during the war
between the States was a gallant soldier in
the Confederate army, serving the causef for
three years in the positions respectively OF
lieutenant Of infantry and captain OF cavai-
~. At the close of hosti!ities he took
course OF law, was admitted to the bar,
aud began practice at Woodstock. He
had naturally bright mind. Person
ally he was popular, and having at
tracted the attention of his fellow
citizens, was soon honored with civil Office.
his first preferment being to thai OF
position Of Commonwealth attorney for
his county. which he held for two terms.
His next advancement in public life was
election to the Virginia House of Delegates,
where he served four years, and SUBJ
seauently he was returned TO the Virginia
Senate. He was member Of the State Com
mittee of the Conservative party ofVirginia
until 1915. a presidential elector on the
Democratic ticket of the State in 1876 and
on tho Readjuster ticket in 1880. From
this los. named period it may be said dates
probably the mistake of Mr.. RIDDLE
BKRGEB's life. for it is approximately coeyal
with the time when be fell under the ma
lign influence of that Old Man of the Sea
IN Virginia politics. WILLIAM MALONE. 1t is
true that towards the latter part of his life
he attempted to shake of that incubus,
but already in his case, az in the cases OF
some other brilliant young Virginians. the
blight of Mahoneism had scorched out
path to his political grave. This the Dis
patch can say without doing the slightest
violence to the sentiment De nlortas M!
,aisi Jonun. In 1881, while State senator,
Mr.. RIDDLEBEBGER was elected through the
manipulation Of MALONE, or rather at MA
HOMES dictation, to succeed the late JOHN
w. JOHNSTON as United States senator
from Virginia. His record in that
august body was not signaized by the
origination of any important legislation
or any great achievement IN the way OF
oratory. He was most widely known in
national politics in view of his opposition
to secret sessions of the United States
Senate, while in Virginia politics his name
is intimately associated with the debt
question, owing to the fact that he was
the recognized author of theRIDDLEBERGER
bill. HARRY RIDDLEBERGER was the victim
of an INSCRIPTIONS leader and of mistaken
ambition, but none who knew him will
hesitate to say from the heart peace to
his ashes.n

The New York Tribune rabid Republican
organ. sees in INGAILs's speech crush
ing" document. 1t says:
1.-The eloquent Kansas Senator's arralgn-
ment of the South for its treatment OF the
negroes was crushing in its force and IN
answerable in its logic. His summing-up
of the case in behalf Of the colored race
was mastery. -Four methods OF dealing
with them, he said, had been proposed,
emigration, determination, absorption, ana
acknowledgements. Mr.. Ingalls, proposed a
tifth-justice."
The New York Herald completely answers
Mr.. INGALLS,. 1t SAYS:
"Try justice.n Mr.. Ingalls, cries ont to
the white South. But the white South
will reply to him, Justice was tried; 1T
was tried for years, with United States
troops to see that it was done and United
States marshals to superntend it.. And
Justice brought us the rascalliest misgoy-
eminent in history, under the manIpuia-
ton of your own party"
And in the same article the Herald calls
the negroes attention to another fact
worthy of notice. 1t says:
lone thing we note in Mr.. Ingalls's
speech, and ask our colored fellow-citizens
to note it also. The Senator did not COM
init himself TO the Sherman Chandler pro-
gramme. He did not advocate Federal
election-laws. He did not offer TO help
the poor colored brother out of the diff
culties which he 80 carefully exaggerated.
He did not sugar over the words Of con-
tempt which he had for the black race
with any coating of promised help. That
is the significant thing in his speech"
We would fain hope that that is the sig
nificant thing in INoALLs's speech. We
shall await further developments.

A Ray Of Hope.

A Washington telegram in the Philadel-
phia Telegraph, Independent Republican,
says:
"when the Republicans attempt to pass
partisan measures the Democrats will SIM
ply refuse 10 vote. If the Republicans
happen to have quorum in the House
there will be no trouble: if they have not,
and the Speaker proceeds 10 count the
Democrats the latter will quit the House.
leaving only few Democratic members
Sn their places TO raise the point of no quo
rum. While il is true that members sala-
ries may be locked for absence without
leave, and that they may even be expelled
or imprisoned, still to take any action OF
this kind requires quorum 10 be III at
tendance. Thus it will be seen that the
present is liable to turn out one of the
most exciting and useless sessions ever
held il the Republican majority does not
reach some sort of an understanding with
the Democrats on rules"
The Speaker will not let the Democrats
know beforehand when he intends to
usurp the power of deciding by personal
inspection that quorum is present. They
ought, therefore, TO compel him to show
his hand rs soon as possible. Don't let
things drift along in this shilly- shally way.
He will not usurp that power until he sees
that no can by usurping it make law
which will greatly benefit his party, or
seat Republicans in Democratic seats, and
thus acquire the power to pass such laws
without the aid of the Democrats in
making up quorum. Be sure of il, REED
will not for one moment forgo the use of
arbitrary. unconstitutional powers when
he sees that so 10 use them will accomplish
bipartisan purpose.
The Democrats have the Federal Consti-
tuition on their side. That instrument
provides as follows:
A smaller number THAN quorum] may
be authorized TO compel the attendance OF
absent members in such manner and un-
der such penalties as each house may pro-
vide"
The reader will see that as Speaker REED
and the Republicans have all committed
themselves to the doctrine that the House
Of Representatives now has no rules, there
cannot be in force at this time any rules
imposing penalty on or Furnishing men,
ber for absence from the House. SO tho
Democrats can absent themselves at will
and defy the Republicans TO arraign them

not provided for this case. Now, just here

Senator Ingalls's speech yesterday was
what perhaps he intended it to be. q rather
brilliant display of verbal fireworks. 1t
abounded in epigrammatic statements. No
doubt it tickled the audience which
listened TO him. But reading calmly the
report of it we cannot see that he con-
tribnted anything to the solution Of the
problem which he began 10y declaring in
oluble.-Netc York Herald.
Nevertheless. he had his annual show,
and he rivalled BARNUM in the success
which he had in attracting crowd.
INaALLs's obituary speeches are rare
specimens of English. He is not a Bon
INGERsoLL, but is, we suspect, an agnostic
of another sort.
