New Fire Plugs for the North End. Work on the New I'uderwcnr Factory is Rapidly I'roressinis I)eath of One of Avoca's Pioneers. The property holders of the East district of Marcy township have taken steps to place fire plugs in that region.

They have appointed a committee, who are actively engaged soliciting subscriptions from the property owners. They intend putting in six fire plugs, so that in case of tire their properties will not be left to the mercy of the flames. The committee are meeting with most encouraging success and from the generous responses, the fire plugs are assured. It might be well for the citizens of that section to have the officials of the borough secure for that section some electric lights. Four arc lights placed on Main street, between the northern boundary of Avoca and the Lackawanna county line would light that section in first class shape.

Let this committee continue their good work. Light that section and then it will be thoroughly borough like. The new underwear factory will be gin operations the first week in Janu ary.

The Standard Electric Light company has proven that it is deeply interested in the welfare of the town.

The citizens should re ciprocate for the kindnesses of the Sarsfield club and the Standard Electric Light company. The Standard Electric Light compiny will certainly not lose anything by their action. It Is cfTtain that council will now make a greater effort to pay their bills regularly and to treat the company with some consideration.

Dell Ivuntz wes fatally stabbed bv Otis Whipple last night, dying within two hours alter receiving the injury, Kuntz and Will Clark were having good time on Tuesday afternoon, driv mg about the country and at night landed up at the bachelor quarters of Clark, in Lemon township, on ile shoppen creek. They had plenty of cider, beer and whiskey and were hav ing a rousing time. Over on the shoppen creek, in Washington town ship, near the John Prevost saw mill lived Otis Whipple and his wife' Kuntz drove away from Clark's and over to Whipple's, returning with hippie's wife. She indulged with Clark and Kuntz in the liquor that tney nad when Whipple came. Kuntz was sitting in the corner of the room and Whipple went up to him and said I am as good a man as you are." and Kuntz got up and knocked Whipple aown.

Whipple got up and Kuntz knocked him down again. Then there was a clinch and Kuntz took Whinole ciown and began punching him, Whip pie begging him to desist. Clark tried to pull Kuntz oft" from Whipple, but he failed. Then Whipple must have gotten out his knife, for Kuntz called out that he was stabbed, and Clark pulled him away from Whipple. Kuntz was cut with the jack knife bv Whin pie, a gash being cut in the groin.

Kuntz lived less than two hours. Whipple went on home and Clark went over to Lynn to the home of Kuntz, and accompanied by Charley Smith, the step son of Kuntz, came over iiere to town and made an infor mation, charging Whipple with mur der. Officer Thomas M. Harding went up to the home of Whipple and the latter took alarm and hid in the wil lows. Dell Kuntz was a son of James Kuntz, who for a number of years was a merchant at Susquehanna county.

He was a man about 38 years of age and noted about the country as a horse trader. While in his cups ne was anuslve and mean, and he had frequent encounters with others while drunk. He married a Mrs. Fred Smith, a sister or William Sterling, of Russell Hill, and they had one child. The man Otis Whipple is a native of Mt hoopany township and has been a hard uriiiKer an or nis lite.

He served a term In the penitentiary, having been indicted in November, for larceny from the person of William of a sum of money amounting to He had for a companion In the crime Charles Plummer and they went down for one year and five months. Later Whipple figured in the courts here on a charge of larceny, but the grand jury ignored the bill. His wife, over whom this cutting occurred, was a daughter of George Burch, the man with a wooden leg, her mother being Wiles. She is an ignorant and hard drinking woman, and of decidedly unsavory reputation. It is not thought, from the evidence at hand, that Whipple can be held for murder.

At the teachers' institute this morning the devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Samuel C. Hodge, of the Presbyterian church, and at f) o'clock Dr. Kemp commenced a half hour's address on "Pedagogy of Jesus," and he was followed by Miss Lloyd in a half hour's talk on "Literature and Good Memory Work." Section Room work took up the time until when Dr. King took the floor to norm recess with a talx on "Books and Their Secrets." The following topics were considered during the afternoon session: "Rird Life," by Dr.

Kemp; "The Five Fundamental institutions of History." "The Art of Expression," by Dr. King; "Public Education and Its Meaning," by Dr. Kemp. In the evejilng a large attendance of town people, as well as 'the members of the institute, greeted Dr. Byron W.

of whose killing an arrount is given above. The. facts brought out at the inoucsf differ from the statement made by Will Clurk, who came over here last night for a warrant for the apprehension of Whipple. It seems that there was a party of fellows Hseml ied there at Clark's bachelor quarters for a general good time. Kuntz furnished the whiskey and some of ihp hnv brought in a couple of chickens.

Kuntz drove over and brought the Whipple family over. Whipple rldlntr in the back end of the wngon. Mrs. Whipple went down cellar mid got Some Ktntoes and Whipple it down and commenced to peel them and then Mrs. Whipple says "Deli got uo anfl stumbled on the knife."
