Lawn Fete Interrupted.

Mayor Wentzell, however had not
term mated his troubles. Having set
Chief White and the palfry galloping
over the undulating streets OF the
town. he turned to find Father Gill
keson, pastor of St Peters Catholic
Church, appealing for aid. The rector
announced that several of the militia
men had rambled (the charge of in.
toxtcation st II holding) into the par
ish lawn fete and converted that so
cial function into stag party by
frightening away all feminine pa
irons. But what could the mayor do
His police department was madly gal
Looping elsewhere.
Noncommissioned officers, who had
witnessed the raid upon the drug
store, went forth and rounded up nine
priyates whose pockets bulged with
pictorial loot, and compelled them to
make restoration, much to the allie
Walton of Mr.. Erwin's disturbed con
ditlon Of mind and body. While Gen.
Harries, when called on the telephone
said that he had not personally been
advised of the trouble, it is expected
that future visits of his men to Har-
pers Ferry will be more orderly,
The District Natioal Guard made
can't yesterday shortly after 2 O'Clock
and Old Glory was unfurled in front
of brigade headquarters. The brigade
was assembled on the parade grounds
later in the afternoon for general
review. This gave Gen. Harries. who
is commanding the troops, the oppor-
tunity to inspect the men at work,
and he expressed himself as much
pleased with the showing That they
made. The First regiment band gave
a concert which was well attended
between Z and $50 in the evening,
and arrangements have been made for
one Of the two bands 10 repeat the
performance each evening while the
camp lasts. Dress parade will be held
each day for the benefit Of visitors
to the camp.
Hackmen running between the
camp and Harpers Ferry have cut
their rate from 81 to 25 cents. and
from all indications visitors will no
longer be gouged when they come up
to see their friends.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Whether a
private water company is justified in
shutting of the water supply to a city
the moment its franchise expires or can
get compensation if it continues its
service was question presented today

United States.
The City Water company of Chilli

1906, IS seeking to collect some $4,000
from the city for water service since
that date, on the ground that it would
not have been justified for humanitar-
ian reasons in shutting off the service.
The lower federal courts have held that
the company could collect nothing The
