That a railroad collision is costly ;.s well as disastrous has been demonstra ted by the amount of money which the West Jersey and the Philadelphia & Reading have paid out as a cons*' quence of the Atlantic City disaster, when 44 persons were killed and a large number injured last summer. It has cost the- roads thus far about #1,01)0,000 to settle claims for damages, and all the cases have not been settled vet.

The road has settled with her and the am ount is said to have been $30,000. The Supreme Court has sustained Judges Ewing and Magee of Allegheny county as against Judge White, it) a suit involving a question of practice in the sheriff's office It settles the long disputed point as to whether a second execution judgment had precedence over the first, providing a return day had passed between the issuing of the first execution and the sale of the goods levied on. This has been the practice as far as lawyers understand it, but in this suit Judges Ewing and Magee handed down a majority opinion holding that the first execution judgment still con trolled the writ, though as in this case, several return days had passed. To this i>osition Judge White dissented and handed down a minority opinion. The case was a snarl that seemed to d«rfy unraveling, but the final decision gives entire satisfaction to the bar. The opinion is now iij the bands of Pro thonotary McQnilty of Pittsburg and has been carefully reviewed by many lawyers who were not connected with the case. LATK PKOPKIITY TIIANHKKKH.

Bowser Esq was elected Sr. : preme Tent delegate to the I Review of the Maccabees to Ibe held at Port Huron. Mich., next ' summer, at the late convention at Brad dock. The honor came to him un sought. John Wanamaker, the Philadelphia merchant, says during the ten days previous to Christmas his sr.les covered •jqoo.ooO a day. so that the grand total for the ten days was only a few dollars under a million. He adds: "1 spent £5, 000 a week in advertising and I pay a skill)ul man S6OO a month to do it for me. I make money by it. Advertising is the leverage with which the store has ljeen rai.-ed tip. Ido not bee how any large and successful business can tie done without liberal advertising." For Improvements, We have now elected our town offi cials for another year and also decid'-d to go s.ji),(Hsl further in debt to fund the floating debt and make additional public improvements. Very shortly the treasurer of the town council will la; in jioses.-ion of the fc'iO.OOO and the town s IK»nd.s will be given out at security. We suggest that those £50,000 be then put to the use for which they were ob tained as quickly as jK.-sible and with out taking even so much as a penny for any other purpose. After thai floating debt is paid there will remain —if we remember rightly abont We don't know how many feet of sewer or how many square yards of brick paving this sum will lay, but we do know that after all of it has been spent in the most judicious manner there will still remain room for more improvements. Sewers seem to be the most important improvement. Sewers are constructed to carry away offal and promote clean lilt ess, and cleanliness in necessary to the health of a thickly settled commnn ity A property holder who does not connect with the sewer, if it passe along his property, should be forced to do so. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It costs some thing to sewer your house and you may have 110 ready money and but a small income. Very well, borrow the money to make such an improvement, yon ar» safe iri doing so, because it adds to the value of your property more than the sum expended. And then the cost of that sewer is only an ounce when com pared with the great big pound of worry, doctor bills and perhaps under taken bills, which are caused by con tageous diseases breaking out in the community. Nine times out of ten those diseases would not come if the place was properly sewered. Let every itreet have a sewer of adequate size. As to paving, what an improvement pavement makes in tin* appearance and convenience of a street. The man who is opposed to paving streets should be put in a wagon and hauled through the muddiest, mttiest streets ten hours each day.while the mud lasts. He will likely change his mind As to cost, the argument which holds good in regard to sewers is sufficient in this case too. Pave the streets and then k<-«.p them clean. Another improvement necessary in Butler is a efficient fire alarm system. Now a fire, la* it ever so small, turns the town into a bedlam. Each hose company runs any way but the right way, because they can t find out which way they ought to run. The Game well or some other efficient system should be used. HEN. MUST BE SOLD.
