The City Water Meeting.
There was a reasonably large city
meeting yesterday to consider and ap-
propriate money for an increase of our
.city water supply. The commissioners
had secured agreements from all the
mill-rights along the Silver Mine stream
from the head of the Union Company’s
pond up to the Grupe reservoir. The
Union Company’s release could not be
secured for the reason of its nowbeing
n the hands of a receiver, but no diffi-
culty is likely to result from this, inas-
much as the right can be obtained by
legal action in condemnation proceed-
ings. if an amicable agreement is not
reached. Some $12,300 was appropri-
a‘cd to pay for the several rights agreed
i...on.
there was a sentiment expressed,
based on high expert hydraulic engi-
~ freer authority, that these various water
power privileges along our stream were
benefitted in seasons of drouth, by the
storage of the water, rather than in-
jured, and that the sums paid for release
of these mill site privileges were exces-
sive. A majority, however, felt and
voted it to be better to purchase out-
right all these interests and have them
hereafter under the city’s absolute con- .
trol.
It was a disappointment to many
present that no action was taken to-
wards raising the Grupe and Hoyt res-
ervoir dams and putting down a sixteen
or, eighteen inch main in place of our
present small and inadequate one. But
these are matters which legitimately
follow and not precede, the securing of
the water rights along the line. These
matters are next ih. order, and so the
settlement of water rights should not
be delayed, as they constitute the key
to our getting an increased water sup-
ply, which every one wants, and every
one at the meeting seemed to express a
willingness to be faxed to pay for. Let
the good work go promptly forward.

_ A Sequence of Events.
Under the above heading the Hart-
ford Cour-ant states the advanced posi-
tion of the Roman Catholic church, as
represented by Apostolic Delegate Sa-
tolli, Bishop Watterson and' prelates
Gibbons, Ireland, etc. The Courant
says:
“If such prelates as JameslGibbons
and John Ireland had had thei ay at
the third plenary counciljof Baltimore,
the Roman Catholic saloon keepers of
this country would have had to choose,
years ago, between their church and
their business. The opposition of a
number of I the foreign-born bishops
was too strong and stubborn at that
time to be overcome by the Gibbonses
and Irelands, and they had to be con.
tent with a compromise. In their pas-
tOral letter the fathers of the council
said. ‘We call upon all pastors to in-
duce any of their flocks who may be
engaged in the sale of liquorsto aban-
don as soon as they can the dangerous
traffic, and to embrace a more becom-
ing way of making a living.”
“At the congress of Roman Catholic
laymen in Chicago last fall, this declar-
ation was adopted: ‘We favor the en-
actment of appropriate legislation to
restrict and regulate the sale of intoxi-
cating liquors, and we urge Catholics
everywhere to get out and keep out of
the saloon business.’ .
' ‘In Lent of thisyear Bishop Watter-
_ of Columbus, 0., sent out certain
'ions to the parish priests of his

munity, you will refuse him absolution,
should they per-chance come to receive
the sacraments, unless they promise to
cease offending in these or other ways
and to conduct their business blame-
lessly if they can, or get out of it and
keep out of it altogether.
The delegate apostolic, after mature
consideration, has approved, ratified
and confirmed Bishop Watterson’s
action. Whathe sanctions, Leo XIII
sanctions. I
It may turn out that Watterson and
Satolli, between them, have done more
in a practical way for the cause of Tem-
perance in this country than all the
political prohibitionists ”put together.
Some of the other Roman catholic
bishOps will undoubtedly follow the
Ohio bishop’s example; all of them are
free to do so. The delegate's decision
settles that.”

For Himself and His Associates.
Mr. Gorman has‘madea most power-
ful and striking contribution to the vol-
ume of resentment provoked by the
President's much discussedlfletter to
Hon. William L. Wilson. .His speach,
delivered in the Senate Monday, says
the Washington Post, was at no point
marked by extravagance or passion; it
never degenerated into hyperbole or
invective;but it permitted no one to
mistake his {meaning and it confused
that meaning in no maze of metaphor
and rhetoric. Mr. German set out to.
say that the President’s attack upon the
Senators was absolutely wanton ; that
the President’s afi‘ectation of surprise
and disappointment at what the Senate
had done was ridiculous; that the
charges of “perfidy and dishonor” were
unwarranted; that the only discredit-
able feature of the episode was the Pres-
ident’s invasion of the domain of legis-
lation and his attempt to usurp the
prerogatives of Congress. ,And he suc-
ceeded in every particular—succeeded
with’a completeness that left nothing
to be desired. , .
It should be said further that this
incident discloses an extraordinary and
inexplicable conjunction. We are con-
fronted by the Spectacle of the Presi-
dent denouncing certain acts of the
Senate, and by a number. of the most
prominent and reputable of the Sena-
tors distinctly asserting that the Presi;
dent was aware of all their proceedings,
and deliberately left them under the
impression that he sympathized and
approved. Not only Mr. Gorman, but
Mr. Harris, Mr. Vest, and Mr. Jones
have testified to this impression on
their own part and to their belief and
understanding that it was shared by
their associates. They do not hesitate
to say that-every development in the
work of arranging an acceptable meas-
ure was communicated to the Predident,
and that up to the very moment when
his letter was thrown among them like
ambshell they fully believed that he
‘d their efforts with approbation.
iqtakc has arisen, how it' is
tors were permitted to

confidence of the President. Their
personal 5 character, their public ser-
vices, their o‘fiicial eminence, all entitle -
‘them to the esteem and the favorable
judgment of the country. And, how-
ever the misu‘nderstandlng may have
arisen, they must be allowed to resent
this sudden arraignment of their acts
and motives and this attempt to set
them to one side as culprits.
Certain it is that those who have de- ‘
clared themselves thus far have asser t—
ed the privilege of resentment. and that
in no uncertain fashion. Mr. Gorman's
speech to which we have referred, was
a model of forcible, if temperate, dis-
claimer, and it will attract the attention
and engage the sympathy of every
thoughtful and intelligent man. No one,
we fancy, will hereafter question either
his courage of‘self-asscrtion or his abil-
ity of presentation. Speaking for him-
Self and his ooadjutors in the work of
tarifi' legislation he has‘made it unmis-
takably clear that he and they do not
feel guilty, and he has left the public
abundant room for doubting the integ-
rity of the charge that has been brought
against them.

Wallace Burt, Slayer of the Rightlys,
Hanged at Doylestown.‘
WAS RESIGNED TO HIS FATE.
The Half Breed Indian Had Found Solace
In Religion and Died Pennant—The
Story or the Horrible Murder '
of Two Octogenarians.
DOYLESTOWN, P3,, July 27.—At two;
minutes past 11 o‘clock Wallace Burt paid
the penalty for the murder of Mr. and
‘Mrs. Rightly. The trap was swung at
that time, and the tightening cord about
the murderer's neck quickly extinguished
thevltal spark. Burt‘ was game to the
last. He met his fate resignedly and
caused no scene at the critical moment.
Burt was asked by the sheriff if he had
anything to say. The condemned man
replied, saying his fate was a warning to
all wrongdoera. He concluded, “I am
glad God is merciful and forgives.”
As the clergman-concluded his prayer
Burt thanked him with a bow. Burt’s
feet were then strapped, his hands were
pinioned, and the drop fell. In about 20
minutes he was pronounced dead.
Burt spent his last night in refreshing
slumber. His deathwatch says Burt
moved only once. all night. He had asked
for a breakfast of hash and eggs. When
he awoke, he said he felt refreshed.
A Horrible Double .Murder.
The crime for which Wallace Burt, the
half breed Indian, was hung in the corri-
dor of the Bucks county jail today was
the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel L.
Rightly. Mr. Brightly was 83 years and
his wife 80 years of age. They lived near
the little village of Richboro, Bucks coun-
ty, and were found murdered in bed at
their home on Sunday morning, Sept. 24,
1893.
made the startling discovery on the morn-
ing of that day, and also found that the
bed in which the bodies lay was on fire,
the murderer having made an effort to de«
stroy the evidences of his crime by ignite
ing the bedclothlng with allghted candle.
Mrs. Stattler gave the alarm, and the
neighbors arrived quickly and extin-
guished the flames. . Then the full horror
of the deed was revealed. Mr. Rightly’s
skull had been battered with blows from
a hatchet, his jaw was broken and his
head and body bruised and wounded.
Mrs. Rightly also had her jaw broken
and was horribly maimed.
A search for the murderer was begun at
once, but for a time seemed hopeless,
there being apparently no traces of the
criminal. Finally a piece of tobacco was
found outside the window of the Right-
lys’ house similar to‘the brand used by
Wallace Burt, a half breed Indian whom
a neighbor remembered had worked for
the Rightlys about a week before the
murder. Suspicion was still further di-
rected to Burt by the fact that he had
gone to the Rightly house to be paid for
his work and had seen Where Mr. Rightly
kept his money.
Later, when the sherifl offered to close
the outer door of Burt’s cell, .the latter
said: “Please don’t, sh‘erifl'. I want the
door open. ”
He was then pacing back ‘and forth in
his cell like a caged panther, but was cool
and seemingly anxious for the fatal mo-
ment to arrive. .
The newspaper representatives and phy-
sicians, together with the jury, had en-
tered the jail by 10:30 and were assembled
in the sheriff‘s office and sworn as depu-
ties. Burt spent the early morning hours
with his spiritual advisers, Rev.W. Hayes
Moore of the Presbyterian church and
Rev. Levi C. Sheip of the Reformed
church.
Captured In a Swamp.
The case had developed thus far when
Burt disappeared. Extended search was
made for him in all directions, but with-
out success. Finally Torbert Ganges, an
aged colored man, saw him hiding in a
swamp some distance from the scene of
the murder. Burt was promptly arrested.
brought to this city, given a hearing, and
on Oct. 0, three days after is capture,
was held for trial. ‘
He was placed on trial before Judge
Yerkes in the Bucks county criminal
court on Monday, Jan. 15 last. Consid-
erable difficulty was experienced in pro
curing a jury, but finally the testimony
was got under way, and the 'case was
given to the jury on Jan. 17, two days
later. The jurymen were confined in the
jury room until the following Tuesday, or
almost aweek, it being reported that they
were unable to agree. Then the court was
informed that a juror was ill, and after
an investigation’and the hearing of testi-
mony Judge Yerkes discharged the jury
and continued the case.
A second trial was begun on March 21,
but during its progress Burt made a con-
fession, and the proceedings were quickly
terminated by a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree. On the Thurs—
day following ‘Burt was sentenced to be
hanged. ‘ ' "
After hearing his death sentence the
murderer assumed a demeanor of indiffer-
ence. He stood by his confession, but re-
lated none of the circumstances of the
crime. He expressed his readiness to suf-
fer thc penalty of the law and said he
had made his peace with his Maker.
