Vito Gerard owned two lots on Will
low street, Dunmore. Southeast Of
these lots the land rises very abruptly
and falls away in the opposite direc-
tion to the northwest. The borough Of
Dunmore was about to make some i'm
provements which would throw great
quantity Of surface water onto Ger
ardi's property and he asked the equity
side of the court to protect his inter-
ests. In his opinion Judge Archibald
says the law applicable to these facts
Is as follows:
plaintiffs land, although natural one,
Is one of surface drainage merely, in the
Improvement of his lots or for the purpose
of using them as town lots, he has the
right to refuse to receive the surface
water flowing in It and to dam 1t back
from his land by the distractions which
he has put In the channel.
Second-Surface water which collects
upon the streets of borough by reason
of the grading and guttering OF them by
the borough must either be taken care OF
by the borough or be allowed to flow
where 1t will naturally, according to the
grades and cutters established upon them /;
1t cannot be diverted from them and pre-
c!pitated on to private property. Nor can
the cutters and drains be so arranged IS
TO effect this except under the power of
eminent domain after due compensation
to the owner
Third-Under the facts and circJmt
stances of this case, the discharge of the
surface water flowing from Laurel street
onto the plaintiffs property through the
drain or ircn pipe proposed to be laid by
the borough across Willow street frcm
the foot of Laurel to the mouth of the
old channel leading into the plaintiff $
| property, would be a constant trespasS
| working constant and serious damage
which the plaintiff is entitled to have re-
| strained.
| Fourth-The borough authorities are by
| statute invested with power to lay out
such common sewers as they may deem
| necessary and to lay out and regulate
! cutters, cuiverts and drains but the
proper legal steps for doing so must be
| followed, including provisions for COM
pensation to the owners of property
taken, injured or destroyed thereby, moth
ing of which has been done in the present
! instance.
Fifth-The plaintiff is entitled to the re-
| lief prayed for in the bill of costs.
| Let q decree be entered in accordance
with these findings, unless exception be
| filed thereto within twenty days.

GOLF PLAYING IN BINGHAMTON.

This is the way they play golf in
Binghamton, according to the Bing-
hamton Republican: Elmira golfers
were scheduled to meet a quartette of
Binghamton players at the links at the
Casino yesterday, but for some reason
the visitors did not put in an appear
ance. Quite a crowd of golf enthusi-
asts visited the Casino to see the play
ing, but had to be content with the ex-
hibitions by local players. 1t is likely
that another attempt will be made to
arrange a match with Elmira next
week
Golf is fast becoming popular with
the society people here and every
pleasant afternoon the links at the
Casino are we'll filled. To one unac-
quainted with the game It does not
look like the most exciting OF sports.
To the religious editor who visited the
Casino yesterday II looked like a mild
form of exercise adopted by society
because it is too uninteresting and ez-

was so angry with the Judge that he
took the field and began to work
against his reelection. The district
was not a certain one, with the third
party In the field. and the Judge and
his friends became somewhat anxious
over the probable result of this un-
expected opposition. BY and by Judge
Culberson appeared on the scene to
look after his political fences himself
In the course of his trip over the dis
trict he ran across his irate constituent.
The latter was still angry, and began
to abuse the Judge in round terms.
Looking the Judge full in the face, he
opened up the walls of his wrath and
emptied them upon the statesman's
head. In fact, the constituent swore at
the representative up one side and
| down the other. The judge replied not
word. He looked his constituent
suarely In the eve and when the lat
ter's ammunition became exhausted,
the judge asked him II he was entirely
through with his complaints and up
braidings. The answer was Yes"
Then" said the constituent, in con-
clusion, 'the Judge threw his arms
around my neck in an affectionate
fashion, and exclaimed:
'Whar's the nearest grocery
That knocked me clean out" con-
| fessed the constituent. II piloted the
judge to the nearest grocery, where we
had something several times. Then, of
course, ] turned in and worked for the
judges nomination and election. And
this is why l say the Judge is a diplo-
mat"

OFFERED NO EXCUSE.
Judge CuIbersOn Merely Asked His
Constituent to Have Something.
From the Washington Post.


David B. Culberson, one of the ablest
and most distinguished men in public
life, and recognized as the greatest law
yer now in the house of representatives,
will retire from public life on the 4th
of March next, after a Continuous SER
vice in the house of twenty years. His
son, Charles Culberson, has about COM
pleted one term as governor of the
state of Texas. and is about to begin
the second. This is, perhaps, a unique
record, where the father is serving in
congress and the son as executive of
his state. One of the most noted in
stances where members of the same
family have been in public life in high
positions at the same time is that of the
Washburn family, where the three
brothers, Israel, Elihu B., and Cad
wallader c. Washburn, served in the
house of representatives at the same
time, representing three different states
Maine, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Mr.. Culberson retires from public
life of his own volition. He was Sc
| riously considered by President Cleve-
land for the portfolio of attorney
general in his cabinet. Mr.. Gull

been accused of being in love with the
routine work Of his profession or of
congress, but he has praCticed his pro-
| fession successfully and made an ex-
cellent judge on the Texas state bench,
while in congress he took rank with the
| leading minds of that body.
A constituent of his who was here
not long ago, insists that the judge is
diplomat as well as a lawyer and
statesman. In proof of this assertion,
| he told how he wrote to Judge Culbert-
son some months before the presiden-
tial election of 1892, asking him to do a
certain thing for him. He received no
answer to that letter, and wrote again
| two or three times. In the last he
wrote he referred in severe terms to
the judges dereliction in the matter.
Not long after sending his last letter
he received from Judge Culberson a
lot of agricultural reports, and their
reception made him a good deal mad
der than he was before. In fact, he

South Side property owners are much
exercised over the appeal that has been
taken from the report of viewers in the
matter of the sewer for that part of
the city. They fear that 1t will prove
q Geath-blow to the sewer or at least
delay it for some time. Now that the
attention of councils has been called to
the matter 1t is likely the city fathers
VIII order the appeal to be prosecuted,
or If that is not done the councilmen
who have sewer projects under con-
sideration will insist on having their
localities cared for at the same time
the South Side is.
That will mean that the city must
raise several hundred thousand dol
lars to build sewers. 1t also means
long, tedious delays and that Is the
prospect that exasperates the South
SIDE people.
They hoped the matter would be per-
mitted to go by default until the thirty
days for taking an appeal from the re-
port of the viewers had expired and
then the city would be forced to pay
its share of the South Side sewer and
the work of constructing it could pro-
ceed at once. Most of the prominent
residents of that part of the city have
fer years been urging the necessity of
that improvement. The fact that prop
erty In that part of the city has not
increased any in value for several years
is almost entirely due, they say, to the
absence of sewer system, for few are
willing to erect such buildings as would
be an Improvement to the neighbor-
hood under existing conditions.
The decision OF the Supreme court in
the Williamsport case that has caused
all the trouble with reference to sewer
construction plainly states that prop
erty cannot be assessed more for a
sewer than each drainage would cost
and unless a sewer with all its laterals
is built complete, in the future at some
time, the city must be prepared to as
sumo the payment of a good portion OF
the cost of the work. Even where the
system for an entire district is under
taken at once it is questionable If the
city would not still be required to pay
a portion of the cost of the main OIL
trunk sewer.
This subject of sewer construction
will give the city councils interesting
matter to wrestle with for several
| weeks.

WILL STORE MORE ICE.
Stevens and Silsbee Secure Control
of Belmont Lake.

Stevens and Silsbee, of the Scranton
Ice company, have just secured con-
troll of Belmont Lake, a beautiful body
of water in Wayne county, near Poyn-
telle, where they already have large
ice houses. They will erect store
houses on the shores of the lake i'm
mediately, which will be filled during
the coming season in order to supply
the increasing demands of their trade
Belmont Lake is one of the finest with
in the border of Wayne county; and
about $4,000 tons of the purest ice
can be taken from 1t in the course of a
season. The water, like that in the
vicinity of Poyntelle, is very clear, and
is entirely free from impurities that
are often found in lakes in this re-
gion.
This enterprising firm also has the
option upon several other bodies of
water in Wayne, which have been Sc
cured in order that the demands of
those who desire to keep cool during
the coming seasons may be supplied
entirely from the Poyntelle region.
where, owing to its great elevation, the
finest ice is obtained at an early date
in this season.

pensive to become popular with people
who do not have time and money in
generous quantities TO devote to the
sport. one of the young men playing
explained the game to the reporters
ITO be properly equipped you want
from six to a dozen different clubs, as
II is not much of player who will use
the same stick twice in getting around
one. OF course you are very apt to
break a stick, but you can remedy that
for $2 Then you want a pocketful Of
balls, little white balls of hard rubber
A good player loses a good many balls,
but they only cost thirty cents apiece.
A caddy, that is a small boy who car
ries your clubs and helps you find the
balls for ten cents a round, completes
the equipmnt
You start on a square platform q
few inches above the ground. The
good player spends some time in maxi
ing an artistic pile Of sand upon which
he places the ball. The ball in proper
shape, you slug 1t just as hard as you
can, first warning the boy to look in
all directions at the same time for the
ball. You hit the ball and it goes
somewhere, in what direction or how
far is immateral. The object that Is
vaguely impressed upon your mind is
that you are to get the ball into a hole
across the fields where a red flag shows
itself. There is no hurry about getting
there, the good player never hurries.
OF course the game is to see which
player can get the ball into the hole
with the least number of strokes. You
see it isn't the time it takes, but the
number of times. After you hav hunt
ed an hour or so for lost balls and
walked several mills you will have had
exercise enough. That's ALL" The re-
porter thanked the young man for his
lucid explanation and refused to see II
he could lose ball the first time he
hit II
