A CoLD-BLooDED MURDER-Saootiao a
Nef9hb0T J0r a JesO Apples On Saturday az
ternooD The town OF Nanticoke, Pa, was the
scene OF an unprovoked murder, under cir
cumstsnces OF peculiarly distressing ma
ture. The victim OF the tragedy was a young
man named George Sheath, q prominent
member OF the Odd Fellows fraternity
widely known and highly esteemed for his
personal worth. He board with q widow
lady named Warren, the yard OF whose resi-
dence adtoined that OF q Mr.. Trayer. In front
OF Mrs. Warren's premises, and outside OF
the fence, stands an apple tree, one-fourth OF
which hangs over the lot owned and occu-
pied by Trayer, who claims sole possession
OF the fruit. Just previous TO the tragedy
Sheath climbed the tree to knock of some
apples for his boarding mistress, when he
was attacked with stones by q son OF Mr.
Trayer's, young man nineteen years old.
He ordered Sheath down from the tree but
Sheath did not obey, whereupou young
Trayer drew revolver, and taking delibe-
rate, shot him In the abdomen. Sheath fell
instantly to the ground and shortly after ex-
pired. The most intense excitement pre-
vailed among the citizens OF Nanticoke,
who threatened 10 lynch the murderer. He
was rescued by the police, and late at night
was safely lodged In the county jail.

he transacted business The fraud FIRST discovered
by Messrs Diego de Castro & Co, West India impor
ters of No. 25 william street, making application In
tho Custom House last week for some drawbacks 10
which they were entitled. 1t appeared that Jcsurun
who was their broker, had n power Of attorney from
them to collect the drawback checks and that he had
retained them in his possession. Further inquiry
showed that nearly seventy drawback checks amount
ing TO 81 0O0 had been collected by him in 1874
and 1875. Jcsurun arrested aud committed Lud

claims against him settled, and he released,
without bail.
The suspicious OF the Custom House officers being
aroused they prepared list OF sums due tho govern

broker and the result the discovery OF The fact
that the amounts had been paid TO him. In this

THE WATER SUPPLY-NOVEL SUG-
GESTIONS.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Aside from the water supply tho most impor-
tant question that agtatc the good peo-
pie of tho city of New York as what means they
devise TO prevent the destruction of their beautiful
city by Gre; and IL is with pleasure that SEQ the
HERALD open its columns to all correspondents how
simple and impractcable their ideas may be- in
the hopes that OF the great multitude may hit
upon the right thing AS n couple OF ideas have sug-
Gested themselves to me lay them before your mill
ion readers TO be considered with the others
FIRST how shall they prevent the spread OF great
flagraiionsP To accomplish this would suggest that
the city be divided into squares, with sides Of 900 feet
each near that as can be done. considering the
shape and courses of the streets Let the Fire Com
missoncrs authorized to enter nil the buildings on
the lines Of these squares and the basement of
each Immense tanks upon the principle OF the most
approved nre extinguishcr From these tanks ppes
should lead to every room in each building with suta-
BILE and convenient arrangements on the ground floor
for turning on the acids and nlling any or all the
rooms IN each building with carbonic acid gas. They
would thus have, stretching across the city every
direction, mpassable barrier to the fire, The
the pipes would not be heavy for city
like Now York; and would, in fact, be very light
compared with the expense of any other plan vet sug-
gestcd The owners of buildings which the tanks
would be placed would charge nothing for damages,
the facilities they would be given for putting out fires
that might originate within the buildings would be
great that the cost OF their insurance would be reduced
nearly one half Second to the supply of for
engines at large fires. The report OF the engineers
published in the HERALD, shows that the additional
works required would cost the city $40 GOO, 600
tainly large for city already overburdcned with
debt understand that the present supply
OF Croton Is ample If the Fire Department
were otherwise supplied would, therefore, suggest
that the Fire Commissioners lay large mains in all h1
streets exclusively for the OF tho Fire Department.
That they erect suitable but not expensive towers,
the required distances apart, along tho entire river
front OF the city, with pumping engines each TO
supply the fire mains with salt water which is
talny much better than fresh water for extingushng
fires Or, II this not deemed feasible plan for supply
Ing hcrequste amount OF water, would suggest that
the pipes be supplied with salt by what is com
monty known as tho Holly water works, which would
not only furnish oil the water required but would fur
nish under such pressure that with ordinary build
ings the fire engines could be dispensed with. Either
plan could be carried out at comparatively small
the city. SUBSCRIBER
