"Nomad," an occiaioual ifr for the Gazette, has been presonting to our readers a series of articles tending to show that the interests of Pittston, West Pittston and neighboring villages would be mutually advanced by the consoli lation of all into one city, with a central government Facts and figures have baeu eJuced to cvo tho desirability of this step. Toere is ouo very important argument, however, which sh yet has not been touched upon We refer to the loose manne in Vthich these boroughs bavo been governed, or rather X) one who has been a resident of either of these towns fit any length of time needs to have his attention called to this most evident fact It is apparent on every band that municipal tff tire on both sides of the river are extremely tax, atd are allowed to run much as tiey please, without proper checks and without busia ess like direction of any kind. Need we cite illustrations? It seems almost unnecessary, but sinca we have ent red upon a discussion of tbe subject, let us call your attention, reader, to a few ot the delinquencies which show themselves most prom inently. One of tbe most undesirable evils, perhaps, that we Bud on tbe east side of tbe rivrtt is tbe flagrant daily violation of the li qu laws, to which our borough officials have always appeared utterly indiffdreiit.

It has come to be commonly understood, and p'ople have settled down to the conclusion to tolerate it as an unrameduble evil, that we have more unlicensed than licensed saloons, and that those who sell liquor illegally may continue in their nefarious work unmolested from year to vear. Such a may to an outsider seem preposterous, but our ptopla reed evidence of it Whether or not our borough officers could enforce the laws regulating the sale of liquor, if they made the attempt, is question. In the first place they have not the necesta assistance from constables an policemen and further tbe ordinances of our town do not give them the power that they should have to deal with the evil Other examples of lx government are not lacking. Take our police system, lor instance. Was there ever any thins so utterly inadequate to the net ds? We hire one polieemei to 'ouk after a town two miles in length and a out on in width, tbe population somewhat scattered at that, and have to assist him spe cial (Beers private citizens, who cannot by aoy pjstible means be expected to devote their time to looking after violators of tbe borough ordtnaLces What is the result? Loafers by the hundreds line the principal streets by dsy and by night cases oi drunkenness and disorderly conduct go unrestrained the nights are made hideous loud talking young men and girls incendiary fires are fnqjent and unpunished, and many other forms of evil evail without mo leatati or fear of duturbiica.

How can these things be remedied some may ask. We will answer the question Yankee fashion, by asking another, how do other places get rid oi them Simply by having a auitable form of government and a competent force ot offlwrs, who guard faithfully the interests and properties of tbe citizens and thereby save to the tax payers all and more than is paid them in salaries In the matter of councilmanic work, sgsin, our boroughs are not what they should ba Some of the men who have been elected to seats in the municipal body appear to take as little interest in the affairs of the town as the average cttitsa Meetings are unattended; tbe streets are neglected and other important matters presented to council are left to drag along for months and in many cases are allowelto dropoutof sight without due at tention aod consideration. These are things which any citizen can see for himself. Of course councilmen usually serve without pay, but men who seek such poeitiom and they seldom go a begging should, when elected attend to tbe business promptly and effec lively. Of late years Pitt ton councilmen have voted themselves pay for attending meetings in order to secure quorum for the transaction of business.

What can bs ex pecteaoisuci omciaisr we need men in these positions who will not only interest themselves in the details of borough affairs, but bs willing to devote some time to devis ing plans for the betterment of the town snd is citizens. These things are necessary for the advancement cf the place. West Siders may, psrhaps, without duo thought, say they are free from the muuioi pal evils to which their twin borough on the East Side is heir. Let us see. As to tbe matter of police, we firmly believe that West Pittston needs a force of paid effieers as badly as Pittaton.

This conviction is strengthened by reports of sets of lawlessness and disorder which have come to our ears within the past few daye True, the mm shop snd the loaf er are not with tbe West eider to the same extent, but there are thieves moat num erous, incendiary fires by far too msny, snd multitude of minor lawless acts of the boldest character that go unpunished Ia borough affairs generally the West 8ide is not up with the times, but matters are allowed to drag along after a fashion that at once stifles any attempt on the part of enterpriisng, public spirited citizens to be progressive. West Pittston as well as Pittaton is in great need of a municipal shaking up. We would not place the responsibility for all the evi we have enumerated upon the borough officers. While the is little doubt that much could be done to correct tbem, tbe weight of the trouble lies in tbe simple fact that the laws under which Pittston snd West Pittston are now being governed are not at all adapted to such a populous community, nor were tbey ever intended to be so. They were passed by our State Legislature with the view to the best interests of towns of a few hundred inhabitants, and for such they undoubtedly serve all purposes.

A glance at the census returns will show but very few places the sirs of Pittston in the list boroughs and when it is consideied that we have a pop ulation of 25,000 within a mile of our poetoffice the shuatioa is presented mach more intell gently. Id other large towns that we could mea lion, finding that the law by which they were bound as borough held them back in their course of prosperity and power, tbe citisene have wisely resolved to throw away petty prejudices for tbe general good, with the result that the shackles of borough government were abandoned, and under city charters tbey moved forwsrd with new life. To day they are holding there own with the leading cities of the country. And it is idle to talk of improving the existing borough laws. It can only be done by a system of classification, as cities are classified.

Otherwise the legislator who proposes a borough enactment suited to the larger towns will find himself st once beset by representatives from districts containing small boroughs to which the proposed leg is lation would be objectionable. Now what does all this argue? Does It not speak strongly in favor of furnishing to these neighboring corporations, now separate, a central government which, in the hands of wise, judicious and honest Boers, each as this people collectively would be ture to elect, would do much to correct the evils and delinquencies a'uled to? These scattered boroughs and settlements cannot hope for any very great improvement under the existing condi tioss, but with a city government much might be done to improve sll as places of residence, A.ocnl SCveais, fersonslttes ond Observations of Interest.

His Williams Home. Miss Mary Ellen Williams, the Wilkesbarre girl who was said to have gone away with 8hear arrived home oa tbe one o'clock Lehigh Valley train Monday morning. Alarge crowd of curious paople had gathered on the station to see the girl about whom so much had been writteo and said, and they were not disappointed Miss Williams was accompan ied by her mother and her uncle. Upon alighting from the car, she was spoken to by several newspaper men, but refused to say anything for publication, with tbe xoeption that she had come home for the purpose of appearing at Shearn's hearing, when she would tell her story from beginning to end.

SHEARS BOUND OVER TO COURT. The hearing of Shearn took place Monday morning. Miss Williams appeared and told a wngtby story of how she and Shearn had been criminally intimate, and bow they had left Wilkesbarre together with tbe intention of going to Australia When tbey reached England, she said, Shearn went to see his father, who pursuaded tbem to return to this country. Tbey did so, sod 8heart gave her $200 to enter the Boston Conservatory cf Music. She went to Boston and then return ed bom i.

Shearn had nothing to say in answer to the charges, but waived further hearing aod was furnished bail to app9ar ft court for trial Superintendent Shnlts Dead. Dr 8. 8. Shulte, Superintendent of the Dan ville Iosine Asylum, died on Sunday in the 62d year of his age. About three weeks sgo be took to his oed snff aring from nervous prostration.

Dr O. F. Harvey, of Wilkesbarre, waa summoned to tho sick man's bedside. His administration waa of no avail however. The superintendent sank rapidly.

Dr. Shullz often said he would die of some nervous ailxeot. He was a sensitive men and took criticism deeply to heart. Anna Dickinson's incarceration in the asylum and the publicity that attended her subsiquwt departure caused him a great deal of worry. About two months ago one of the attendants kicked an insane patient to deatb.

This caused the public press to call for sn investigation of tbe asylum. This grieved the superintendent con siderably. He had eleven hundred patients under him, and he always boasted about tbe good care they received and the freedom of tbe asylum from casualties ot all kinds. Dr. Shults was considered an expert in insanity cases.

He was the first superintendent st Danville, being appointed when tbe asylum was built OonjDgham Shaft on Fire. Fire was recently discovered at the foot of the shaft of the Conyngham mine, of tbe H. Coal Co, in tbe upper part of Wilkes barre, and after thorough investigation by Mine Inspector Williims, it has been decided drown out the fire. All tbe machinery of value was removed snd yesterday the hose was turned down the slope and pumping commenced. The Conyngham slope, which is 2.000 feet deep, adjoins the old Baltimore No 3 workings, which have long been aban doned.

Some months ago several explosions occurred in the slope and the work caught fire, and tbe mine was partly filled with water. It had been nearly pumped out again when the fire was discovered. The mine will be completely flooded this time, sn operation taking six mooths to accomplish. It will require four years to clear out the triine before work can. be re.

Houck, Druggist Ferry Bridge Ca e. Julge Rice filed his opinion io the Ferry Bridge case on Monday. It is very lengthy, fully revtewit.g and discussing the questions raised. His decision is a victory for the Bridge Company which is allowed to rebuild the span burned in 1885 under certain limit ations snd conditions, as contained in the necrej given oeiow. Tneee conditions are practically what tbe cm pan; was willing to do at the outset The decree of tbe court is ss follows: Now Sept 28th, 1891, it is ordered, adjudged and decreed: I.

Tbe tray ere for sn iijunction restraining tbe defendant company from rebuilding tbe elevation and extension of its toll bridge described in the bill in a southeasterly direction from tbe coutbeasterly oat.k of the Suequebanna river and compelling it to abate and remove ibe said elevated approach to their bridge, are denied, without pre jtidice to any right or remedy of the commonwealth in a course of lew. II. The defend nt company is enjoined from rebuilding said approach, or replaciLg the same by a permanent atructure in such a manner that filth or water will be allowed to fall or drip from the flsor of the same on the highway beneath, or that bones being driven oo said highway will be frightened by tbe noise of hones snd teams passing overhead. 111. i The defendant company is enjoined from supporting the said proposed permanent approach upon a pier or other support erected wholly or in part within tbe limits if the Carbondale road, and ia commanded and et joined, immediately upon rebuilding said elevated approach, to remove the present atone pier from the limits of said highway.

IV. Tbe parties are directed to pay the costs as recommended by the master. The Pittaton Brick. WUkesbsrre Leader. The very fine pressed brick new being used io the new front of the buildiog occupied by by Voorbie A Murray are from tbe establishment ot the Pittston Pressed Brick Co.

This company is a new one and has only manufac tured orick since last spring. Just before that tbey discovered a fUe stratum of brick clay ne Sturmerville and after thorough ex periments they began to manufacture. The brick ia one of great strength. It has stood an enormous hydraulic pressure and has broken slightly when a pressure sufficiently heavy haa been applied. It is evidmt from this that tbe brick ie admirably adapted for paving purposes, as other well known makes of paving brick cannot aland any such pus sure as th a has.

Toe company will undoub edly make th manufacture r.f paving brick a spec ally after quality aod strength are estab lished. But whether the paving brick is manufactured at once, or not, tbe pressed brick appears to be a very floe article and it ia beiog laid upon the building mentioned by thoroughly exterior. oed workmen.
