STREET SPRINKLER
AGAIN TO Be USED
Provided Enough of the Residents
and Merchants Agree to CO.
Operate in Matter.

The owners OF the street sprinkler
have decided to again run the sprink-
Ter, provided enough of the residents
and merchants sign contracts for the
season to warrant its running. 1t is
certainly reasonable enough what
they ask, a little over 2. cents per
day, for each house. When it was
run last about three years ago it was
run at loss, but It was seen on the
street nevertheless daily until Nov.
/. the promised date 1t certainly
looks like a worthy cause and the
small amount asked seems to he rea.
sonable enough and our citizens
should encourage it and turn the hot
and dusty streets of July and August
into that Of cool and sparkling, Ii ar-
ter they have canvassed the city and
find the contracts they have signed,
are not adequate to justify the run
ming OF the sprinkler, it Of course

tracts they have VIII be considered

RECEIVER ASKED
FOR COAL COMPANY
Ey John McGraw in Case Against
the Rosemont Coal
Company.

GRAFTON, April 22-The circuit
court of Taylor county convened in
special session with Judge John H.
Holt on the bench, for the purpose
Of appointing receiver for the Rose
mont Coal company, of Rosemont.
This action was sought by Col. John
T McGraw, who is one of the largest
stockholders in the corporation, on
the ground that the company's as
sets are being squandered by the
present management and for other
reasons. The coal properties of this
company are said to be worth up
wards of million dollars. BY the
suit of Colonel McGraw against the
other stockholders, the principal of
which is ]. H. Weaver, prominent
coal man of Philadelphia. it is
sought to turn over the management
temporarily to receiver for an ac-
counting and the winding up OF the
company's business.
The case had been taken by the
defendants from the circuit court to
the federal court sitting at Clarks-
burg, but Judge Dayton rendered an
opinion last week disclaiming the
Jurisdiction of the federal authori-
ties and remanding it to the circuit
court. After an able argument on
both sides the mater was continued
until next Saturday in order to give
the defense time to prepare answers
to the plaintiffs pleadings, when
further argument will be made and
decision as to the appointment OF
received win be rendered by Judge
Holt.
