Some ExpeegMore of the Police Than the LawpAllows Reminders to Authors of Anonymous Correspondence. Chief of Police Tosh's raid on one of the First word notorious resorts has served as an upheaval and now demands are coming In from all quartern of the town for a continuance of the good work. Today the Herald received three com munications designating places that should beipulled aud giving the names of occupants, but as the letters were anonymous they were consigned to th e waste basket. While the raid must be uccepted as an excellent move by the Chief of' Police and it is natural to expect that ho will continue the good work wherever there is fin opening, the people must not Jump tp hasty conclusions as to the extent of his jurisdiction. It is qnlte true that a num ber of disorderly houses are in existence, but it is only under certain circumstances that the police can act. It may be relied upon, however, that yesterd ay morning's raid will have the effect of making the proprietors of the resorts respect the rights of the law abiding people in the f utnre more than thoy have In the past aud not allow the frequenters of the places to disturb the public place. The Chief of Police has made an excel . lent resolution in' his determination to raid all questionable places on the first provocation and would do well by follow ing it up with the arrest of any question able characters who make a display of themselves to the annoyance and detrl men t of respectable people while parading the streets. One of the communications received by the Herald states that If the police keep their eyes open they can pull some houses not generally reputed as disorderly places and the drag net will contain some of our very prominent and influential people. With such general statements the police have nothing to do. The people who yearn for such raids have a plain duty to perform! If they know of disorderly houses let them designate the locations and their proofs to the Chief of Police. More than this, they need not expect that the Herald will relieve them of this duty. The paper will not publish any communication that is not presented in good faith, and the mere signing of some prominent citizens name to a letter will not be accepted with out Investigation, as at times It has been found that some unprincipled people who were afraid to father curtain communica tions have used the names of other people as signatures without authority.

We have been reliably Informed thai there resides at the west end of town a semblance of a man who Is a fit subject for Incarceration in the county jail. This brnte makes a practice ot beating his wife almost nightly, and her appeals for meccy are frequently heard by the neigh bors. One day last week ho seized a broom stick and beat her so badly that the neighbors proposed to summon the police but the poor woman was afraid of her life to prefer charges against him. Ills dislike for his wife is said to be due to the Infatuation of another woman, who.he takes out riding frequently, while his wife is at home hard at work earning few pennies to keep the miserable wretch.

YEITH AND THE MASTER MECHANIC AND MASTER CARPENTER MADE A THOROUGH INSPECTION. Arrangements Being Made for an Abate ment of the Nuisance Arising From the Sewer Line on West Coal Street. The efforts to get the improved breaker of the Shenandoah City colliery Into operation at an early date are meeting I with excellent results. John Yeith, the I mining superintendent for the P. & II. C. &I. Co., Christ. Muehlhoff, master car-IRucllilig. npnf.pr. Mnil Opnrcft Simmons, master! mechanic for the came company, visited I the place yesterday In company with Division Superintendent John Skeath and spent several hours in making an Inspec tion of the Improvements. They found everything in excellent condition and order and the breaker will no donbt be ready for operations on the first of June. It wes operated for a short while as a teat yesterday and the officials said every thing worked very satisfactorily. It Is now qnite reasonable to suppose that the much-talked of nuisance on West Coal street, arising from a sewer used by a number of property owners in common not being large enough, will soon be nbated. The complaints have come from Mr. Knipple and others, who say that on account of the pipe not being able to tuke all that flows to It their cellars become flooded with filth. The owners of property connected with the sewer at points above the properties of tho complainants say that the difficulty lies in the fact that the Knipple portion of the sewer lies flat. Still, if the developments forecasted by Health Officer Miles today are rea'ized, the cor rectness of either theory as to the cause of the trouble will not be material. Mr. Miles says he has been at work on the case and it is pretty well settled that the tewer is to be cut off at a point above the Knipple property and then continued by a new course to the borough limits, which will abate all public nuisance arising from the line and the people connected with the cut off end will be obliged to look after it. If any more nuisances arise from it they can be only of a private character and will have to be abated by the people connected, either by enlarging, plugging, or tearing out the sewer. It is hoped for the sake of general relief that some course to settle the controversy will be speedily adopted. It has monopolized much valuable time of the borough offic ials for the past two months on account of the intricate propositions involved as to whether the nuisance was a private, or ft public one. If the borongh authorities are not very careful they will have on their hands a very dongerous trap at tho Lehigh Valley railroad on East Centre street. Attention has been called to It by a number ot citi zens. It arises from tne Improvements now being made on the property on which the large storehouses of J. J. Franey are to be erected and particular by the pave ment that has been laid on the Centre street side of the property. The grade adopted leaves the east, or lower end ot the pavement about eight inches above a narrow space intervening between the pavement and Lehigh Valley tracks. Some remedy should be suggested at an early day, as the drop is at the foot of a very steep incline and should any one make a misstep there serious injury will result. Either the grade of the railroad must be raised, or an Incline must be made from the end of the pavement, or the latter must be lowered.
