CORR'S BILL MUST Be PIAD.
Supreme Court Decided That His
Claim Against the County Is
Legal and Proper.

In the case of Patrick Corr against
the county Of Lackawanna the supreme
court yesterday reversed the court of
this county.
Corr was one of the auditors of the
borough or Dickson City and charged
the commissioners of this county So
for receiving the nomination papers of
the borough. filling out certificates of
watchers, arranging ballots, correcting
proof and distributing ballots prior to
the municipal election of February.
1898. This bill the commissioners re-
fused t. pay. contending that they had
nothing to do with the compensation
Of borough auditors
A case stated was then agreed upon
to determine whether the county was
liable for the payment of the bill.
Judge Archibald held that while Corr
might have recovered from the county
the expenses of getting the ballots into
the hands OF the proper election officers,
such as carriage. expressage, etc, and
any necessary travelling expenses by
rail, carriage or otherwise, if any such
expenses were incurred, he could not
recover from the county anything like
a per diem compensation, and entered
jud !ment for the defendant with costs
An appeal from this judgment was
taken to the supreme court which has
reversed Judge Archibald and decided
that the county must pay Mr. Corr's
bill. This will mean considerable ad-
ditional expense to the county in the
matter of conducting elections
In the case of Lance against tho lie.
hign and Wilkes Barre Coal company,
an appeal from the common pleas of
Philadelphia county, judgment was
affirmed, and in the case Of Finnegan
against the township of Foster, from
the common pleas of Luzsrne county,
judgment was also affirmed.

ton was called to the stand. He said
that the daily consumption of water
used at the mills and properties of the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company
averages 1900 900 gallons, for which
the sum of $40 600 is annually paid to
the water company. The price. Mr..
Scranton thought, was reducea one.
The Steel company was given the bene-
fit of special rates because Of the enor-
nous amount OF water used. Mr.
Scranton denied that he made any
threats to Mr.. Wenrum.
What he said was That his company
considered it II right, which it had the
privilege Of reserIing, that the water
could be shut Of from customers who
10 not pay their bills, aud he alec said
that the Gas and Water company
claimed as a right the privilege Of
shutting off water when it is not used
according TO contract. In the original
contract there was no provision, nor has
there been any inc uded since, Of sup
plying water to the mule barns, or for
supply condensers, boshes and tuyers at
The mills.
Superintendent Robert Reeves was
the next witness for ths defense. He
said that he was present when the
conversation took place between Mr.
Scranton and Chief Engineer Wehrum.
There was no threat made by Mr..
Scranton regarding the shutting off of
the water supply from. the mills of the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company,
THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
With the testimony of Mr.. Reeves
the case ended and the attorneys on
both sides got together and agreed to
dissolve the injunction, with the un-
lerstanding that the water supply will
not be shut off until the two suits
brought by the Gus and Water COM
pany are settled. These suits are on
the list for the October term of com.
mon pleas court. but it may be two
years before the cases ara called.
Thus ended one Of the most impor-
tant cases ever brought in the courts Of
Lackawanna county.

Constable Charles Lowry has added
another gem to his crown already bril-
liant with glory.
This time it was by making the ar
rest of the murderer O. of Emanuel
Loro.
He walked into police headquarters
yesterday afternoon his face beaming
with smiles as if cognizant OF the fact
that lie had wrought great work, and
announced that he had succeeded in
capturing the long sought Msdala, the
cold blooded Old Forge murderer.
He toiled increasingly, he said, ever
since the reward had been offered, to
bring thu culprit to justice aud at last
his Efforts had been crowned with sue
cess.
He told long story of how after
ardu0us search he had located his man,
who gave his name as Steve Baker,
employed as a farm hand over near
Dundaff aud had gone there and ar
rcste d him.
THE CAPTAIN ONLY SMILED.
Captain Edwards, who was at head
quarters at the time. heard his story
to the end and then smiled cruel,
heartles4 smile, that chased the sun
light from Charley's face with the
rapidity of thought.

REV. DR.. colvlLLs's GRANGE.
Accepted a Call from the Presbyterian
Church Of JamestoWn, N. Y.

Accepted Call from the Presbyterian
Church of Jamsstown, N. Y.
Rev. q. M. Colville. d. D., who
eight years ago was pastor Of the Simp-
son Methodist Episcopal church of the
West Side, has left the Methodist fold
and become Presbyterian, having ac-
cepted call from the First Presbv-
terian church of jamestown. N Y.
When DR.. Colville left this city ne
went TO Binghamton N. Y, to accept
the pastorate of the Centenary Metho-
dist Episcopal church, and has been
there ever since Concerning his re-
cent change the Binghamton Republi-
can says:
1t is stated that DR.. Colville has had the
offer under consideration for some time.
Last Sunday he preached in the Presby-
terian church at jamestown and was
given the call. which he decided to accept.
A few days ago he informed the presiding
elder of this district and the officials of the
Centenary church Of his determination,
to leave the Methodist church and accept
this call. Who his successor will be in the
Centenary church is not yet known. The
announcement to the officials was so sud-
den and so unexpected that they have no
one in view Next Sunday the pulpit
will be supplied by the Rev. William Ed.
gar, of Caroondale.
1t is understood that one Of DR.. Col
ville's main reasons for leaving the Metho-
dist church was the time limit. He OBJ.
jected to this because he thought it did not
give the minister fair chance. DR.. Col
vile is Scotchman by birth and his early
life was spent in 'roughing it, Some of
the time he was n sailor. He came to this
country while still boy and after time
entered the Wyoming seminary, Kingston,
Pa, from which he graduated. He WAS
ordained and entered the Methodist minis.
try in the Wyoming conference. Since his
ordination he has followed the conference,
winning friends and fame, not only among
those of his own denomination, but with the
general public. AS public orator he has
few superiors. He was particularly pop
ular wherever he went. He is man of
broad views ON all subjects, and is well in
formed.

Edward Smith died suddenly at his
house, 81 Court street, short
ly after 10 O'Clock yesterday morning OF
dropsy of the heart. Smith had been for
the past three years employed as q cooper
at the packing house of Sperry & Barnes.
Shortly after eating breakfast yester-
day morning he complained of not feeling
well and threw himsslf on q lounge on the
versnda in the rear of the house. He rap
idly grew worse and one Of the other
boarders becoming alarmed at his symp-
toms, hastened for DR.. Fleischner. The
latter quickly arrived, but Smith died just
as the Doctor reached his side.~ The body
later in the day was removed to Cox &
Hepzs's undertaking rooms. Smith had
suffered for nearly year from consump.
ton and asthma and to about three weeks
ago had been for over q month patient al
Grace hospital. He was forty-eight Year,
old, came from Boston and was widower
When Smiths landlady heard that he wa
sick and that the other boarders had gone
for physician, she Immediately dispatched
her son to police headquarters with the
request thss the police send the ambulance
Immediately ''to remove . dying man" t.
to the hospital. Captain Wrinn, who wal
on duty at police headquarters, told thu
boy to secure the services of physician
and then If 1t was necessary he would sent
the ambulance. With this the boy hastene6
back home.
Medical Examiner White was notified
and after viewing the body went to thu
house where Smith had boarded and ex
amined his effects in the hope Of securing
SONS information as to the whereabouts o.
his friends, but his efforts in this direction
were futile. The body will be kept at Coz
& Henze's today, after which, unless
claimed by friends, it will be Inferred b,
