TROUBLE OYER A PIPE LINE
Attorney Thomas Decided the Issue
Was a Private One.
Citizens Of South Washington Al
Iege That the Standard COM
pany Has Trespassed.

Attorney Thomas, counsel for the Dis
trici, returned to the Commissioners yes
terday an opinion in respect To conten-
ton between Mr.. George Harbm, and other
property owners in square 7O7, in South
Washington, and the STANDARD Oil Com
pany, over the laying of pipe lire as
an oil Conduit through the square. Mr..
Thomas decides that the issue is one that
should be settled in the courts.
l. is alleged that the agent Of the Stand
ard Company, Nj r. c. Baughman, was
notified that he had trespaS aSsed in the lay
ing Of the pipe, and that he had claimed
TO have a permit. The Commissioners
Insist that they gave no permit for the
crossing of private property, but that a
permit was issued for the laying of the
pipe in Half street. 1t is also stated that
the real Controversy is as to the location
OF the street line, and that if the owners
won't redress the merits of the case can
only be determined by suit for treSpaSs
The attorneys opinion was approved by
the Commissioners.
The people have strenuouSly Objected

templated 10y the company on Half street
near K and have endeavored not only to
prevent the Construction but 10 stop the

1t is understood that the objections urged

interested, and il is probable the matter

notion was contemplated recently against
the placing of the tank in that section,

WRAPPER TIME

Why, asksaPhiladelphia woman, shouldn't

JUSTINE to buy these promoters Of comfort

by taking advantage of the sales, may
save her back and her soul, as well as
her cash. First, of course, come the Jap
anese quilted affairs, the inside and out

And what comfort they mean, whether
madame loasts lively infant or merely
q husband who has chronic Difficulty
with the keyhole. Then there's the af-
fair in eidcrdown, not as recherche, to be
sure, but representing more than $3.1o
worth of cozincss-for that's just the
figure at which they may be had just
Tow. FIannelettes may even be had at
seven cents a yard in good quality, pro-
viding one can manage remnants. But
10 get out of the bedroom and stlll remain
comfortable is little more complicated,
for all of us have not the courage OF the
somnolent wife of one of Robert Louis
Stevens on's heroes-the lady who lived IN

venson very cleverly gave her the best
most placid of tempers. And these other

fit like a princess dress, though with no
more discomfort to the wearer than is
occasioned by nightgown. If ones
figure is ordinarily good, even corset is
unnecessary And the range OF mate
rial and trimming is simply unlimited.
All the soft silks, crepes, woods and the
mixtures hang beautifully. not to mention
cotton crepes at six cents a yard. But one
mustbe generous with trimming if the effect
is 10 be pretty. In fact, it's hard to use
too much lace.
And for the woman down upon the wrap

of delicately tinted silk and endless frills

and tackled the runner for a loss Here
a foul was called on Cony and Gardiner
got the ball. Woodcock gained seven
yards. the best gain of the day for the
visitors. Cony braced and won the ball
on four downs. Russell gained six
yards. and then by steady passes of
five and 10 yards at a time Cony rushed
the ball down the field, all the backs
doing quick. sure work, and the line
holding well and opening up big holes.
Time for the first half was called with
the ball in Cony's hands, 20 yards from
GARDENERS goal.
Just before the end Of the half, Nun
roe, the Gardiner quarter, fell and
broke his arm near the wrist, the
only accident of the game. The
fall was not a hard one. but
he struck on his hand in just the
right way to snap one of the bones of
the forearm. DR.. Harris reduced the
fracture.
The players enjoyed a rest of 10 min
utes between the halves. A slight rain
was falling which the players did not
mind but which decreased the number
Of spectators. Cony kicked off the ball
at the opening of the second half. Gar
diner could not gain and at once lost
the ball on downs. Then by slow but
sure gains Cony pushed the ball up the
field.
Barrows did the best work here and
the brunt of the battle fell on him. He
never failed to make his distance when
called upon, and after eight minutes
play he carried the ball over GARDENERS
line for the second touchdown. 1t was
near the sideline and Barrows punted
out. Nash caught the ball and Russell
kicked pretty goal, making the score
10 to in Cony's favor.
When Gardiner kicked off Cony
started in with a rush for. one more
touchdown. Bascomb made two long
runs, and Barrows followed with one of
half the field, the longest gain of the
day. A few short rushes took the ball
almost to the line and then Barrows
ploughed through the lire like tissue
and planted the ball square behind the
goal posts for his third touchdown, just
as time was up. Russell kicked another
easy goal and the score stood Cony Is,
Gardiner 0. Then came the cheering
and rejoicing. Cony had good reason
to be proud of it's victory and the fine
showing of the team. The old players
maintained their reputation, and the
new ones surprised their friends. The
game was very clearly played, With
out dispute or any rough work. 1t looks

visitors presented a team considerably
superior in weight to the Augusta boys,
but the latter outplayed them at every
point. At no time was the Cony goal
in danger. Much credit is due to Mr..
Quimby, who has coached the Cony
boys. The material was mostly new,
six of the seven line men never having
played before, but they have worked
we'll under his directions, and ought to
win many more victories before snow
flies. The Cony line held well and the
backs did star work. Barrows was the
particular hero of the day. His long
runs were features, and he tore through
the opposing line like a whirlwind.
Bascomb also made some especially
pretty gains. Gardiner did not play
with the snap shown by Cony, and had
poor interference. Hunt and Wood
cock made some pretty plays for Gar
diner.
When the game opened for the first
half Gardiner had the ball, Cony hav-
