ANSWERS AMENDED BILL.
WOODS PREPARES RAJ
PEas IN INJUNCTioN SUIT
ae Demoiishes Additional Arguments
against the sale Of Ctfy's Riparian
Hights In stream


Attorney ]. NJ. Woods. who repre-
SCENTS the city council in the in1rnc-
ton suit, has prepared the answer 70
The amended bill of complaint, filed
on Monday by those who are opposed
tn the sale of the riparian rights OF
the city in the water from the Big
spring, and the papers will be submit
ted to Judge Faulkner upon bis return
from Berkeley Springs.
In the amended bill of complaint
the complainants state that tile taxable
basis Of the city would be raised by
reason of the sale. inasmuch as the
disposal of the stream would reduce
the assets Of the city To this the de-
fendaRts state that the sale OF the
city's rights in the water would oper-
ate or prevent an increase in taxes.
by reason of the fact that the 5000
offered by the Standard Lime q Some
Co. would be used to make some i'm
provemen's to the water mains on
John and High streets that are imper-
atively needed, and that il this money
cannot be cured for these improv-
ments it will be necessary to raise it
by taxation.
The complainal is also state that the
water is needed for possible future
source of supply for the city. In ans
wer to this the defendants state that
the city has already agreed to turn
this water into the Tuscarora for the
benefit of the mill of Alexander Parks,
at Flagg's crossing. in lieu of none
tary consideration, for the water used
from the Kilmer springs. and that the
city now holds nothing but riparian
right, which is all the Baker Bros.
ask to purchase 1t is expected that
the Standard people will deal later
with Mr.. Parks for his right to this
water.
1t is thus made plain that this water
is not only vslueless as source of
supply, because of it's impuritv, but
that it could only be ag lin pumped
nto the mains by paving Mr. Parks
or his right On the other hand, the
Standard people Offer a right-cf way
over their land TO the head of the
stream free or charge to the city. 1t
is also apparent that the $4,000 offer
ed for the oity's right in the water
would simply save that much to the
Taxpayers, for the Improvement to the
mains on John and High street is
absolutely necessary, and il this
IN ney cannot be occurred the council
will be compelled to get it by taxa
ton.

CHURCH UNION.

WORD COMES FROM CANADA
THAI three great demonstrations Of the
Protestant church the Methodisf
Presbyterian and Congregationalists-
have decided TO unite They have
agreed upon a satisfactory common
creed and will merge the executive
and busine 8 features of their relig
ious works.
Il is believed by the promoters OF
the movement that by cooperation and
concentration d effort they can make
the means at-thelr command 90 mucn
further in good work: that. for m
stance. in a small town or distric,
they can substitute one strong and
hourishing church for three weak and
struggling ones. The material ana.
business advantages OF the union are
obvious - The secular mind. and there
are numerous clergymen ready To dem.
onstratc great spiritual gain in tie
way of church extension and energy
and zeal in evangelical work resulting
from a better organized and better
paid army Of workers.
There has beea much talk OF cburcn
union in the United States. but. while
there is frequent cooperation among
chai ehes OF different denominations
in various localities there has as yet
been no complete coalesceuce of two
or more large denominations. The 10.
union of the Methodist church North
and the Methodist Church South was
the coming together Of two divisions
of the same denomination separated
by political differences among their
members.
But this reunion is encouraging as
indicating the spirit Of the times and
the growth OF fraiernal feeling. Con
solidaiioR is the watchword Of the
hour in secular affairs. and its success
in such affairs will powerfully innu
ence those in whose hands rests the

A prominent clergyman has recently
said that while church union NAV he

History Law and Religion" The con
