The most convincing argument in
favor of water works would bo
serious fire, which we Bincerely hope
will not happen. It makes you
shudder to think that if in some
portions of our town a fir would
get the least headway a whole block
of buildings would be reduced to
ashes. WTith a good system of
water works and a hose properly
handled a fire can bo checked and
extinguished at almost any stage,
Let us have the water works as soon
as possible Liverpool S'i.

noon Wednesday in Salisbury town
ship, Lancaster county, iu which a
three-story brick house was blown
up and tho occupants, Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Leim, were instantly killed
and a servant named Jackson
was perhaps fatally injured. Leim
was a wealthy and prominent quarry
man residing near Lumville. Several
days ago he had some trouble with
his employes, consisting of a gang of
Italians. It is believed mat some
one for revenge placed a large quan
tity of nitro-glycerine, used in blast
ing rock, under the residence while
Mr. and Mrs. Leim were at dinner,
with the awful result. Startling de
velopments are expected.

A New Featuro for County Institute
In order to keep up with the other
progressive bounties 111 rennsyl
vauia, an effort will bo made to pub
lish the proceedings of the Teachers
Institute of Snyder county this year,
iu pamphlet form for tho benefit of
tho teachers and others. It is pro
posed to publish tho names of all tho
teachers, tho names of their schools
the teacher's address and the name
and addresses of all the directors of
the County. Tho essence of all the
important talks and lectures will bo
given. The best papers will be pub
lished in full. This will give the
teacher an opportunity to preserve
tho best ideas for his guidance and
instruction. Besides, tho pamphlet
will be a kind of directory of the
school interests of the County. Such
a book would ordinarily cost from
cents to 75 cents for each toucher
but the Superintendent has made
arrangements to publish the pro
ceedings at a cost uot to exceed i!0
or 35 cents to each teacher. Tho sal
aries of teachers is low, but we be
lieve that the movement will be ap
proved by every toucher in tho Co.
The Superintendent would be glud
to loarn the opinion of teachers
concerning this move in order that
he can make arrangements for the
publication of the procee dings.
