Court Unholds Petition.

Rejection of the petition filed with
the City Commissioners of Borden
town by Harry B. Ford against the
compulsory installation of water
meters was illegal, the Supreme Court
has ruled in an opinion by Justice
Kalish. Ford gained his verdict un-
der writ of certiorari to overthrow
the resolution by the City Commits
sioners, who held that his request
did not have enough signers. To force
action on his petition, however, the
court says he will have to resort to a
writ of mandamus. Ford presented
his papers to City Clerk Malone, May
21, 1916. and after he had done SO
twenty-one signers asked that their
names be withdrawn on the ground
that they misunderstood the intention
of the petition. The Commissioners
held that this invalidated Ford's re-
quest.
The Supreme Court rules that the
clerk and commissioners acted in an
unauthorized manner. The clerk, the
opinion asserts, is required to return
a faulty petition to the maker and
have his objections passed upon by
a Supreme Court Justice. If a clerk
accepts and files a petition, it is as
serted, it is too late for signatures to
be withdrawn.

AvERTED A TRAGEDY.
A Perilous Situation and the Way II
Was Mastered,

A Perilous Situation and the Way \
Was Mastered.
There Is q striking illustration In
Das Buch fur ALE of the fact that ii
Is not necessary to roam over the world
to find adventure. The German mer-
chant of the story found 1t In his own
peaceful house in the quiet town Of
his birth. 1t happened on his daugh-
ter's wedding day, about sixty years
ago. The happy father was alternate
ly welcoming the guests and bustling
about attending to final details.
In one of the halls he met a maid
carelessly carrying a lighted candle
without its holder. He did not rebuke
her, as she was not one of the regular
servants, but had only been brought in
to help for the occasion. In a short
time she returned from the cellar, her
arms full of bottles, but with no can
die. The absence Of the light sent a
sickening thought sweeping over the
merchant Only the day before several
barrels of gunpowder had been stored
In the cellar, and one of them had been
opened In order to get sample for a
customer.
Where is that candleY" he asked
her quickly, with his heart In his
mouth.
II had my hands full and couldn't
bring it up" the maid answered.
Where did you leave itf"
81 stuck 1t In the black sand in the
open BARREL" she explained.
But the merchant had not waited to
hear her out Into the hall and down
the cellar steps he stumbled. His
knees were shaking, his breath caught
in his throat; death already seemed to
have its grip upon him.
Just beneath the room In which the
guests were assembled stood the fatal
barrel, the burning tallow candle up
right in the powder. To his horror he
saw long piece of burned out wick
sagging In the reddish fame If that
spark should fall! He made a des-
perate move toward the candle-and
stopped. The slightest touch or breath
might shake that glowing bit Of wick
into the powder. He heard the sound
Of laughter from above, and he trem-
bled. He stared at the light, power
less to move.
Suddenly the end of the wick nodded,
and with its movement the merchant
recovered from his mOmentary Daraly-
sis. Cautiously be thrust both hands
toward the candle; then, with q sud
den squeeze, he smothered the wick
and fame in his grasp. Never relax
ing his hold, he carried the candle the
length Of the cellar; then he tainted
