REGARDING STOCK DIVIDENDS.
Scranton Capitalists Win an Import
ant Fight at Harrisburg.

Major Everett Warren yesterday filed
in the office of Recorder Charles Heus-
ter the charter for the Citizens Water
company, of Phillipsburg, Center coun-
ty, Pa, of which Joseph j. Jermyn,
John S. Mears and other local capital
lists are the stockholders.
This is the charter against which the
Phillipsburg Water company through
Senator Mcconnell of Harrisburg, made
a protest, because the present company
had not yet relinquished its right to an
exclusive franchise, not having divided
among its stockholders a dividend of
eight per cent. for five years. The Har-
Iisburg correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press yesterday had this to say
of the matter:
Secretary Reeder has decided ques-
tion regarding stock dividends that has
never been adjudicated in the state de-
partments or the courts of the state.
1t relates to a faVorite method many
Pennsylvania corporations have of re-
tanning their exclusive franchise by IN
creasing their capital stock in order to
avoid paying their dividends which would
have amounted to more than per cent,
The act of April 20, 1874, confers eXclu-
sive franchise upon gas ana water COM
panies until the corporation has realized
and divided among its stockholders a
dividend of per cent. for five years upon
its capital stock.
An application was made by Scranton
capitalists for a water company charter
in the borough of Phillipsburg, against
which the Phillipsburg Water company
lodged a protest on the ground that it
had exclusive franchise.
1t was shown at hearing before Sec
retary Reeder that the old company had
paid in dividends in fifteen years 50 per
cent, and in stock dividends, represent
ing surplus earnings expended for the
improvement and betterment of the plant
$27 900.
The company's attorney contended that
these stock dividends were in reality III
yesrments by the stockholders and could
not be taken into consideration in esti-
mating the profits of the concern for the
purpose of terminating its exclusive fran
chise.
The secretary decided that whether the
dividends were declared in stock or in
cash, they were the profits realized by
the stockholders upon their original in
Yestment, and had precisely the same
legal effect as though declared in cash.
The protest was overruled.

STOLE FROM HIS FATHER
That Is the Charge Made Against John
Touh!l-..fIis Fathers Store
Was BurgIarized

John Toohill aged 20 years, was ar
rested yesterday morning by Lieuten-
ant of Police Thomas l.. Williams
charged with burglarizing the store OF
Michael Toohill who conducts a grocery
business at 90l Jackson street. Michael
Toohill is no other than John Toohill's
father, and the son has been clerk in
the store.
When the elder Toohll entered the
store yesterday morning he found that
q pane of glass i'm n window had been
cracked and entrance made by lifting
the window after the bar had been
taken out. Three sacks of flour We're
missing. When Lieutenant Williams
arrived on the scene he was told by old
man Toohill that a certain Hungarian,
was likely to be the guilty person.
In making Inquiries Lieutenant Will
Jams got the idea into his head that the
Hungarian was innocent and that John
Toohill. the son, was worth questioning.
Young Toohill was asked where he slept
Wednesday night. After lodging for a
while he finally said that he had stayed
with an Arabian family on Jackson
street.
Lieutenant Williams went to the
house and in a back room he found the
three sacks of flour. The AraDians,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Warrio, say that
they bought the flour from young Too
hill at 1890 o'clock Wednesday night,
paying 30 cents per bag. At the hearing
in the police station last night before
Alderman Blair young Toohill was held
in $500. He could not furnish and will
be sent to the county Jail. The Arab
ians will be arrested for receiving
stolen goods.
