CITY MAY ASK TO JOIN
Wants to Have a Hand in the Suit
to Test the Water Rate
Ordinance.

There is every reason to believe that
an effort will be made in councils on
Thursday night to pass a resolution
directing the city solicitor to take the
necessary steps to have the city ad-
mitted as an interviewer in the suit
brought by Conrad Schroeder against
the Scranton Gas and Water company
to test the validity of the ordinance
ing water rates.
There are several councilmen behind
the scheme and they contend that i'm
mediate action is necessary in order
that the city may be admitted as in
terrener and may file supplementary
bill before the gas and water COM
pany'S demurrer to the bill already
filed is recorded.
The councilmen who are in favor of
adopting the plan contend that most
material point was entirely omitted
from the bill filed by Attorney Ira Fl.
Burns for Mr.. Schroeder This is the
alleged fact that the company, which
started in on a very small capital
stock, has recently refused an offer
way up in the millions for it's plant.
They believe that it should be set forth
in Il supplementary bill in anticipation
Of Il statement on the part of the conf
pany that ii has never paid a dividend
and that therefore it is illegal. as well
as unjust and unfair to reduce its
rates below what they are at present.
1t is contended that the filing of a
supplementary bill would place the
company in a position where it would
either have to deny or affirm this al
legged fact and would prevent a confir-
nation by court of its demurrer to the
present bill without Il trial and arGu-
mcnt, for it that demurrer We're con-
iirmed according to the principle of
res judica the question. 1t Is claimed.

local courts.
1t is proposed TO authorize the eN-
penditure OF a sufficient sum of money
to provide for the engaging of addi-
tiOnal counsel to assist the city so
licitor who is already ii very busy
man. in the preparation and trial of
the case. Lawyers say that there is
no valid objection which could possibly
be raised to the admittance of the
city as an interviewer or part plaintiif
in the case. 1t is held that it is the
Guys right and prerogative to become
more interested than any one citizen.

Rewarded By Gov. Tyler.

II. Quinsey Bailey, a young white man,
a convict at the State Farm, is now a
free citizen as result of dramatic in
cident.
Gov. Tyler and the Board of Directors
OF the penitentiary went up to the State
Farm Saturday on tour Of inspection.
Hardly had they left the train when three
negro cOnvicts made their escape from
one of the guards, disarming him of lis
rifle before taking their leave Bailey,
who is "trusty," runs an engine at the
farm, and ne left in hot pursuit of the
fleeing negroes Immediately, his only
weapon being his monkey wrench. He
passed a guard in the chase and asked
him for his gun. This was refused, but
the guard finally gave Bailey his pistol,
and he got in gunshot of the negroes and
demanded that they "halt" They did
not obey, and he opened fire. One of
them became frightened and be wascap-
tured and taken back to the farm.
The circumstances were related at once
to His Excellency and he called Bailey be-
fore him and told him that henceforth he
should be a free man. The Governor COM
municated with Major Heth Tyler, in Rich
mond, by the long-distanced phone, and
the latter met his father at the train last
night with the papers all made out, and
the Governor signed them at the station
in the presence of a number OF spectators
and Bailey went on his way rejoicing.
Meanwhile the other two negroes were
caught by bloodhounds and locked up
at the farm. A young farmer assisted
Bailey in the chase, and he was given $50
reward by the board upon the recon-
mendation of the Governor.

We believe the Constitutional Con-
vention did right in refusing to sub
scribe to the oath rs laid down in
the Underwood Constitution and
which is familiar to all who have
ever served in an official capacity
under the laws of Virginia during
this generation. We do not argue
from legal standpoint, though the
fact that there can be no higher body
than a Constitutional one, and the
additional fact that they are assem-
bled to do away, if need he, with the
preceding organic law, would seem to
argue that their work could not be
vitiated by failing TO take the oath
which the old law prescribes. Itisan
accepted principle that no body can
prescribe rulesfor it's successor unless
in accordance with the laws laid
down by some higher body, and this
there cannot be for such body as a
Constitutional Convention.
In the debate on the subject it was
very prominently brought out that
the main objection which some of the
leaders had to taking the oath was
to avoid the complex difficulty of
swearing to recognize the civil and
political equality OF all classes, race
and color, and then proceeding to
disfranchise some portion OF the citi-
Gems of Virginia. Thesentiment seems
to have been growing of late that
there should be no wholesale dis
reimbursement of thenegro. In truth,
it has been pretty well assumed that
there would be little, ii any, disfran-
&sjng done. We do not know that

THERE is much talk that the Con
stitutional body is deeply interested
in the gubernatorial fight, and that
a majority of the members favor
a certain candidate for Governor.
While we do not believe this splendid
body of representative Nirginianswill
permit the matter of factional pref
erences to sway them in the great
work before them if they are con-
scious of it, we deem it unfortunate
that so mOmentOus an event Us the
framing of an organic law should he
in process during the hottest OF all
our State campaigns. We have been
i'm favor of the Constitutional body 5
sitting in Richmond for many rea-
sons. but it is duty they owe

none but the vital questions directly
confronting them shall receive their
