Projects for New Counties.

Since Oxford stopped talking about
making a new county out of the lower
end of Lancaster aud southwestern part
of Chester, with Oxford for a county
seat, the upper end of Chester is engaged
in discussing a new county to be made
up of parts of Berks, Lancaster and Ches-
ter. Indeed the Chester county people
have it so far under way that Coatesville
add Honeybrook (Waynesburg) are
quarrelling as to which shall be the
county seat. The Coatesv;llians have q
committee appointed already to locate
the public buildings, but the Waynes-
burgers declare that Coatesville would
be way off in q remote corner Of the pro-
posed new county.
The Cuatesville Times sneeringly
says, with respect to Waynesburg, that
"the idea of making county seat out OF
q country village which has had severe
struggle for years to MAINTAIN even .
passable existence, and would still
have renamed a Struggling hamlet but
for the energy instilled into its dead and
dying energies by Coatesville man,
who, fortunately for them, took up his
residence there few years ago, is anus
Ing, but not at all dangerous" And
it ADDS that Honeybrook only wants the
county seat to make tipstaves aud arbi'
traitors out Of its many loafers. Mean
time Churchtown has not put in its
claim.

THE WATER QUESTION.
MEssRs. BANCROFT SONS MAKE
ANOTHER PROPOSITION.

MEssRs. BANCROFT SONS MAKE
ANOTHER PROPOSITION.
Messr. Joseph Bancroft d Sons, whose
Rockford mills have been source of dis
cussi0n for years, on account Of the re-
fuss matter therefrom being emptied in
to the b. andywlne, have made another
proposition In relation to the city water
supply being taken from the Rockford
dam, by means Of q 36-inch main from
the dam to the Cool Spring Reservoir.
In this pr position the firm ask ths
city to purchase half of the water power,
owned by Messrs. DUPONT, de Nemours
4 Co., and also to purchase from the
Banclofts half-interest in the race TN
the south side Of he creek and . site for
the pumping works just above their fac.
tory. at cast OF $4,000. The cost of
he Dupont half Of the water power Is
estimated at $35,0O0, and the total cost
Of the proposed change, including water
md land damages and the cost of erect
Ing the pumping g. q ion and laying the
36-inch matt, ($S6, ,O99) is estimated at
$l59.974.0O. The estimated cost Of pump
ing per year At this new location Is esti-
mated at $8.80o.7O, and at the pres mt
station at $l2,618.75, showing saving Of
$3.72O.05 by the change.
After carefully analyz'Dg these estima-
t@s and citing the advantages which,
IN their opiuiOn will accure TO the city
by adopting this plan, the proposal closes
as follows
If the city will not-considering the
great advantages Of coming higher up the
stream for wa'er, and thinking 1t not
worth while that any other expensive
temporary arrangement shall bs made
with regard to the water we discolor-al-
low the present one to continue for q
short time, the alternative with US seems
to be to endeav to lay a pipe to carry II
into the race which leaves the third dam
on the north side of the creek, If we may
be allowed to do so. We estimate that
this will cost us $500. We would
much prefer to contribute that sum tow
ards the expense Of bringing the works
up The creek, and We are willing that il
shall be considered that that sum may
he deducted from the estimated cost, Il
thereby the laying Of the proposed pipe
(for the black water) can be avoided.
| In conclusion we would merely ad.
vert to the great advantages Of the city
taking its supply from point above the
cemetery; aud above where the sewerage
from any large population flows into The
the stream. 1t has been proposed to pro
ect 1t from these impurities by sewer
but such work would be very costly
and we think could not accomplish the
obj Ct intended.

A Drunken and Reckless Tar

A policeman Payne was coming
along Front street about o'clock last
evening he noticed crowd gathered at
the West street crossing around drunk
en- man; whose arm was badly cut and
bleeding profusely. He was in front OF
w. T. Glynn's drug store and was told
to come In and he could have his wound
dressed. This he stoutly refused to do.
Mr.. Payne recognized the man as a
sailor named Robert Burton, and told
him to go home and have his wound
attended to, and at the same time offered
to accompany him. This he said he
would not do, and also refused to go
TO the hall with the policeman where he
was old he could get doctor. Seeing
that the man would bleed to death were
h.. not cared for, the officer took him in
to the hall. During the trip to the po-
lice station, many people along the way
denounced the officer, thinking he had
inflicted the wound on the man. Burton
was locked up and had his wound
dressed by DR.. Ogle.
He was arraigned this morning befre
the Mayor and fined S. for disorderly
conduct and resisting an officer. The
evidence elected at the hearing showed
that at 2 o'clock at Front and Jackson
streets Burton, who was drunk at that
time, had pulled out loaded revolver
and cooking it placed the muzzle to his
head, remarking thai he could kill him.

The Toronto Globe publishes crop
reports from all parts of the Dominion,
including Manitoba, Ontario Quebec,
New brunswick, Nova ScOti&t Prince
Edward Island and Newfoundland.
About 400 places have been heard from.
Spring wheat now promises to be slightly
below the average, but with two or three
weeks Of dry, hot weather, 10 may furn-
i.h nearly an average yield. The uni
formity of the reports As to the state Of
Fall wheat is remarkable. The average
of the whole II per cent. shove IN aver
age crop. The area Of land under this
crop is also shown in the majority of the
reports to be somewhat larger than
usual. The area under barley Is some
what below the average, but the crop
will be an average one. The oat crop,
both a. regards quality and AREA, Is con-
siderably above the average. OF peas
there is an average crop. The area un-
der corn is about the same as usual, and
its condition is the worst Of all cereal
crops. This Is owing to the backward
ness OF the season, and the cold snaps.
The hav crop seems to have the widest
range from good to bad-of any crop
this year. The average condition of the
whole is three per cent, above, and,
wherever the crop is already gathered, 1t
is spoken of as having been cut In. first
class order. Rye is an Insignificant crop,
and is four pr cent. below the average.
The present appearance OF apple trees
promises crop 20 per cent. below the
average. There will evidently be an
| other good crop of potatoes, unless the
rot should set in, as II did last year, when
it spoiled an equally promising crop.
| The average Is Z per cent above. An
| unusually great area has been planted.
