Woik ou the new HltBton sewer system progressing satisfactorily, aiid ni.di ordinary conditions it will not be longer than a mouth or so before the syi tem wlil ready for operation. Already there is considerable speculation aiuoug property bold rs as to the patt they will be called upon to take In getting the system into order, and in this couneclion several very interesting questions come up for consideration. They are important, too, and should given attention by the proper officers of the new city at the earliest possible mo ment.

For instance, how clot to the prop ertles will the contractors' pipes be laid tVIll every property holder Le compelled attach to the sewer whether, he wishes or not? Will he be charged for making attachment? Will property holders at present using private Be were be compelled abandon them, and attach to the public newel In conversation with City Solicitor Bohan we gained some light on the qnea Hons which may interest readers generally Certainly all property holders along the line of the new seer will give attention. regard to the first qneetlon, the contract calls for the laying of individual pipes to the curbstone of every property. In at tacliln, the property holder las pli es from his house or store to the curb, stand ing the txpense himself. It might be added that under the old borough laws. which were In force when the sewer con tract was awarded, toe Dororgn was oui pelled to pay for the pipe leading from the main swer to the enrb, wh le nude trie laws governing cities of the third cla th cost of this work may be charged to the property holder.

It regard to the other questions raided, the general statemen will apply to all that they ruu be taken op aid se tied by the new ci' councils. It is Plain, however, tha the a of Health will alsj have con siderable to say as to how far the nse the sewer wili be made compulsory. The sewer Is built primarily as a sanltan meagre, and it will be the duty of the cliy authorities, working together, to com pel the ie of it so far as It may b. necessary in order to secure good sanitarj conditions is thought that people ha Ing first class private eew. drainage wll not called upon to abandou tntm, bn it Is qu lly cmtaln that some of the present eewe arrv neiit.

including thosi emptying Into the old canal basin, will b. declared mi'sauiee they are anil those property solders at present naiii hem directed to attavh to the new system As to the mutter of charging for at tachments, that mnet be decided by councils, and it bids fair to be a ticklish question. Nevertheless, one thing prnpert holders along the line of the sewer system should be given to ua lerstand, aud that is, that since toe city has gone to the expense to secure to them this much desired improvement, there should be no quibbling over the few dollars that it may be de cided t) charge for attaching, nor should the expense of laying pipes to the curl keep any from doing so, and thus eecur ing perfect sanitary conditions. It Is a real pleasure to note that the agitation In favor of village improvement work has not been entirely without fruit. The fact that at least two well known residents of the West Side have spoken favorably of the plan during the past week regard as an indication that West Pittston people appreciate the impor tance of the work that has been outlined by the Ua.ktte on seve.al occh sions of late We do not believe that either of the gentlemen referred to will objeot to being mentioned by name In connection with the matter, and we are Inclined to give them credit for their progressive views, particularly since both are traveling men who have seen much of the country and have had splend opportunities to become acqnalnted wl the beneficial re sults of organized village improvement work in this and neighboring Stat.s.

Mr. I. F. Hants is heart and soul in favor of village Improvement work, as any one acquainted with biiu must snow. He cordially commenls the movement now nnder discussion, and in conversation with the Note and Comment man a few day since expressed regret that his business on the road precludes the possibility of him taking an active part in organizing West Pittston for local improvement work Situated as he is, ho ever, he says he is illlng to do all that he can, and to help along the work be says he is in a position to secure any quantity of literature on the subject for dlstrioution among those Inter ested.

Mr. H. Coward also talks en thusiastically of the work, and we feel that he can be relied upon to put his should to the village Improvement wheel In fact, we would not be surprised If he should get the vehicle moving, for just before leaving on a New England trip this week, he expressed the intention of hunting up the father of village Improve ment work Mr Northnp, whose articles we quoted lately and bringing him to town for a lecture. That would be a most Important step. Without doubt an organ! it Ion wonld follow, and we hope he will succeed in securing his man.

More than this, Mr. Coward on bis own account had a conf rence with a certain Influential rail way official on this subject, with the re sult that no one need be in the least surprised if neat railway station grounds, with iawna aud fljwera and shrubbery should ere long be an attractive feature of a certain section of this community. Bat the plan is not ripe yet, and it might hinder the work to outline it further. Al together, we are pleased with the progrees of sentiment on the subject of village im provement.

YATESVILLE BOROUGH THE SCENE. Another Misterlous Shoottua: While the Couple Were Sitting on a Log Along Browntown Road, a fetrantrer Walked Up and bhot Him. Another cowardly, dastardly crime was added tj the list of bloody murders com mitted in this section, on Thurslay evening of last week, when John Ssrtin, about twenty one years old, son of Mr. and Mrs James Sartin, of Yatesville, was shot lu the head, by an assassin as yet unknown, on the road leading from Brown town to Yatesville. The bullet entered the back of the head a few inches above the ba of the skull, and ploughed its way through the brain, lodging against the skull, above the forehead.

The shooticg, wt ich, from what could be gleaned by a Gazettb reporter. was deliberate, occurred at about 8:15 o'clock. Sartin had been keeping company with Miss Katie McDermott. ot Browntown, and called on her as usual, that evening. They called on Mr.

and Mrs. Tbos. Fleming, neighbors of the McDer motts, and remained there until 7:45, when they went out for a walk, sauntering along the Yatesville road that tktrts the grove, where picnics and parties are held, nntll they came to a fallen tree, three yards from the road, where they became seated. They were here probably ten minutes, wnen some one, as yet unknown, came along the road from Browntown to Yatesville. When he reached a point opposite the couple, a small dog, belonging to the McDermotts, which had followed the couple, uttered a low growl, and the stranger fired a shot.

Sartin clapped his hand to his head, uttered a heart rending fell to the ground. The couple were sitting on the log, with their backs toward the road, and they did not see the assassin, who skulked away in the darkness. Miss McDermott helped Sartin to his feet, and with her ass's ance he walked to John Dougher'e house, a hundred yards die' ant. From there he wls taken to his home in Yates ville, in a carriage. Dr.

J. a. Hah on was summoned. He probed for the ballet, but this operation waa so painful to the patient that the doctor gave It up. The general opinion seemed to be thai the stranger who shot Sartin fired at the dog, bnt the story of the occurrence, as told by Miss McDermott, who was seen by a Gazette reporter at her home in Brown town, la a direct contradiction of this theory.

She is a most prepossessing young lady, and has a host of friends In the neighbor hood in which she resides, who were htgh'y Incensed over the report of the un fortunate occurrence pu'Mishel in a Wilkesbarre morning paper, which stated that the shooting occurred at the depot, which is a lonely part of the village two miles distant from the road where the shooting actually oc curred, and which is jast at the rear of the McDermott property. Miss McDermott's account of the affair is sub stantially as follows; ''We had left Fleming, and were walk Ing along the road, when we heard the Browntown drum corps out playing and sat down on the log to listen to them. After a while a Hungarian came along toward Yatesville. He carried a lantern in one hand, as the night was very dark, and a pail of beer in the other. Every few steps he would op and take a drl of beer, and we were laughing at him.

He was about fifty feet away irom when onr dog, which was quite a distance away from the log, growled at some one approic' Ing. Onr backt were toward the road, and neither of us turned to see who it was. The strange; was within three yards of us, and just opposite me, (the log lay diagonally along the mad) when he fired. Sartin shrieked and fell back, and the stranger skulked away In the darkness. He had to pass out the Hungarian, who was ahead of him on the road." n.u.

1 ui.v a 1 4 auo tug uu wuiuu tun uoupio out won quite high, resting on broken limbs, so that It would be next to Impossible for a person shooting at a email dog, probably ten feet away, to hit Sartin in the head, ss his head was nearly If not as high sitting, as If he were stand lag. There Is great sorrow In the vil lage over the shooting as Sartin was one of the most popular young fellows in the place. Sartin died on Saturday night. There Is no clue to the man who did the shooting. EXCITING BASKET BALI.
