JANUARY THAW
Rain Has Fallen Nearly All Day-coId
Wave Tonight.

heavy rain has been falling all day
and farmers and others who have been
greatly Inconvenience by the dry
weather during the past few months,
are rejoicing. The present January
thaw started Monday when the wind
shifted in the south and kept the Their
mometer above 40 during the greater
part of the day. During the night II
blew a gale and by early this morning
rain was falling in heavy showers. At
one o'clock thermometers on Main St,
registered 81 degrees.
In all probability this warm wave
and rain will not last any longer than
tonight. The weather bureau at
Washington reports very cold wave
approaching this section of the coun,
try from the north west where TEN.
peratures were recorded below zero
last night in many places. The cold
wave is expected to reach here by to-
night or tomorrow, when we may eX'
pect at least a drop of 40 degrees fol
lowed by light fall of snow.
Todays rain although of no great
amount will doubtless aid much in
helping some OF the local springs to
tide over the winter without drying
up. Those who rely on cisterns for
water for some of their uses will also
appreciate today's rainfall. Icemen
who were preparing to cut their supply
Monday will have to postpone the
opening of the ponds for several days
longer Skating is also much below
par this afternoon.

80 CENT GAS LAW
IS SUSTAINED BY
SUPREME COURT
Consolidated Company Of New
York Loses Its Suit
STOCK TAKES BIG TUMBLE
Case Hinged on Proprlety of Allowing
Company to List Franchises as
Assets.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 5.-The
United States Supreme court yester-
day decided against the Consolidated
Gas company in the so cent gas case.
The decision reversed the opinion Of
the New York court, with instructions
to dismiss the bill without prejudice.
New York, Jan. 4.-Consolidated
Gas dropped off points during the
first five minutes after the announce
ment of the United States Supreme
court decision.
Before it rallied, the stock dropped
to 1873, fall of more than 20 points,
and then rose to 141.
Washington, D. c., Jan 4.-During
the summer of 1906 an investigation
was conducted by the New York Leg
islature into the operations of the gas
companies. AS a result, the Legisla-
ture passed the so cent law, reducing
by 20 cents per thousand feet the
price to consumers. The new law
went into effect on May l, 1906. On
May 2, the Consolidated Gas Company
OF New York city secured an injunc-
tion restraining the officers OF the
state and city from enforcing its pro-
visions and the public service commits
sion from applying for a writ of man
damus to force compliance. The mat
ter then went into the Circuit court,
which on December 10, 1907, by opin-
ion of Justice Hough, held the state
law unconstitutional in that 1t took
property without due process of law.
The case hinges on the propriety OF
allowing the gas company to number
among its assets the value Of its fran
chises. 1t is estimated that these were
worth $12,000,000, although it had Sc
cured them for nothing. Counting this
as money invested with the 80 cent
law in force, the gas company claimed
and proved II would not receive le-
gal rate of income from its business.
II the company was not permitted to
class its franchise as capital, then the
80 cent law would afford it more than
six per cent. Judge Hough held that
the franchises was property scheduled
as assets. 1t was from his decision
that the state, city and public service
commission appealed to the Supreme
court of the United States.
Pending final jurisdiction, over VA
900 900 was deposited by the gas COM
, pany with the clerk of the court, rep
resenting the difference between 81
and so cent gas.
