company as Kansas City has done under
exactly similar circumstances, and as
Lawrence has done. we would now be get.
ting the service at greatly reduced figure,
the back rental would have been settled for
considerably less.-lThe News.
This kind of balderdash has been
freely circulated around town for the
past three months by people utterly
ignorant Of the situation. The News
should be better posted than to give
prominence to such falsehood.
On Wednesday night, Dec. 8, the
Lawrence waterworks middle was
settled by the council adopting practi.
cally the old ordinance and agreeing to
pay $4,000 back rental. The "bluff"
was very poor one. The water COM
pany shut down it's works as II said 1t
would and when II started them the
city had to pay expenses. AS TO the
amount paid being considerably less
let us see. The sl4 ,OiO back rental to
be paid by Lawrence is 80 per cent Of
the original claim. Alil,ne by a
prompt and business like settlement
paid only $1,000 on a $23, $50 claim, or
less than ~ per cent. Where did
Lawrence gain by her "bluflY" Had
Abilene paid as Lawrence did it would
have paid $4,000 instead Of 50 sos
Furthermore Abilene secured reduc
tion of one'third or a., $50 ia its annual
rental. Lawrence's new ordinance II

We hope Abilene has heard the last
OF comparisons with Lawrence In

The Kansas City dispute, which is
really an entirely different one to the
Lawrence or Abilene situations has
not yet been settled and will not be
until after months of expensive litiga-
ton. When 1t is the result will no
doubt be seen to be far less favorable
to the municipality than the one
reached here.

Injunction case of the Wilmington

Several years ago Colonel Enoch Moore

for unloading sand. Subsequently
Colonel Moore sold the entire property to
the Wilmington Steamboat Company.

longer as a depository for sand claiming
that the purchase was not subject to the
lease. The sand men persisted in un.
loading there, and the purchasers got
out an injunction.

ANOTHER IDLE DAY IN COURT.

Messrs. Conrad and Turner Settle Their
RepIevin Case without the Aid of a
Jury.
The Superior Court judges had
another holiday to-day. The daily calen-
dar has done more to settle cases and
purge the trial list than anything known
for years.
The case set for trial this morning
was that of John A. Marvel VS.. John
T. Splan and William McKelvey: Tur.
ner for plaintiff; Conrad for defendants.
As soon as court opened Mr.. Conrad con
fessed judgments for costs, and that
settled the matter.
Chief Justice Lore asked if there was
any other business. Receiving a
negative answer he thanked the first
panel of Jurors for their services, dis
charged them aud adjourned the court
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The Jurors went to the prothonotary'
Office and were paid off by Mr.. Horty.
The second panel will go on duty to
morrow.
It looks as if TO morrow will be an un
eventful day. All the cases on the cal
endar for that day have been reported
settled with the exception of two-Johr
Brown and Jane z. Sincock vs.. the p
w. & B. Railroad Company. They are il
progress of settlement and may be dis
posed of before court meets. If such
report be made the argument list will b
the only thing for the court to look t.
