Some Objections to the Plain Now Under
Consideration.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE -
There are some objections to the sewer
system which has been proposed, that might
well be considered at the present time. In
the first place, 1t would take the constant
flow of stream like the Brandywine to
keep the sewers clean, which would add
very much to the demands of the water
supply. just when the most water would
be needed as in warm weather, then our
supply is the lowest.
Then 1t would be great waste of valua-
BILE material A system of earth closets
might be devised where one box might be
replaced by fresh one at stated intervals.
The farmers of the surrounding country,
doubt not, would willingly enter into an
arrangement to exchange the boxes II they
were made portable, and convenient of
access.
Something of this kind already exists in
regard to our stables, where the waste is ex-
changed for straw.
should think it great mistake to take
the rain water off by means of sewers, for it
Is al needed to keep the streets clean.
Every street should carry its own water,

Another Fire at That Place Last Night--A
Store Gutted.
[Spccial correspondcnce Of tic flagette-

Especial correspondence Of the Gazette.
MTDDLETowN, Dec. l3..-The citizens of
Middletown were again aroused last night
between and o'clock by the cry of fire.
Everybody started for the scene of the con
migration. 1t was found tn be confined TO
the interior of the store of Benz. Benson, OF
Lockwood's Corner, and near the scene of
the recent confagration. Mr.. Benson had
retired from his store at s o'clock,
everything appearing all right. The
fire originated in drawer back of
the counter in which were packed some
fancy goods, but was not near any chimney
or stove and its origin is still q mystery.
The Babcock's extinguishers and buckets
from adjoining stores were soon ON hand
and the fire sosn put out, but not until
nearly all the goods in the store were dam
aged either by fire or water. At 10 O'CLOCK
everything was quiet and the citizens retired
to their homes to rest. Your correspondent
learned that Mr.. Benson was well insured
but not to what extent. Mr.. A. @. Cox,
the insnranon aGont. has taken charge of
the goods. l
Mr.. Benson has lately bought lot On
Main street, just below the store he now oe-
eupies, and has elready broken the ground
for a new store and dwelling. Il is hoped
that this may not embarrass him so that he
may have to quit his new building. He
seems to have Ill luck, having been In the
midst of the large fire that lately occurred,
but escaped without serious damages. Our
Commissioners and citizens have now had n ,
second warning, and it is TO be hoped that
they will take immediate steps toward
securing suitable fire apparatus to be used
in such case.

When Governor Hall went home on the
Delaware railroad train, leaving here at
6.25 O'Clock last evening, his manner and
conversation was such as inspired conf
dence in the hearts of the friends Of Harri-
gan, and the news given In the above
dispatch will not cause great sur
prise. 81 have given the case great thought
full consideration" said His Excellency to
q representative of the GAZETTE, "and !
shall think over the matter even more care
in my pocket" said he, touching
the side-pocket of his overcoat,
"a great deal of evidence
bearing upon the case which makes out
even a stronger argument In favor of
showing Harrigan clemency, than ! had
thought possible. shall carefully con-
slider these and weigh the words that have
been said to me in his behalf, and will soon
give my decision"
The arguments before the Governor yes
terday were very earnest and leading citi-
zens, without regard to party, pleaded with
him and testified to the great change Of
sentiment In favor of the doomed man
in view of the revelations con-
corning his domestic relations, which
duly sworn to, were handed him.
Among those who were before the Governor,
in addition to those mentioned In the
GAzETTE's report yesterday were IL. +.
Pickles, who made an eloquent address,
Squire George O'Ncill, II. B. McIntire and
Thomas X. Lally.
HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED.
When our reporter informed number of
Harrigan's friends of the favorable action
of the Governor today they expressed great
satisfaction, and said 1t was just what they
had expected.
Charles B. Lore, Esq; Harrigan's counsel
said that he was greatly pleased, but not at
all surprised at the action of Governor
Hall. He felt sure that there was ample
ground for such action, and as the matter
had been presented the respite was regarded
as foregohe conclusion. ,...
Martin Farrell, who has been very active
in behalf of Harrigan, said to the reporter !:
"The action is just what expected, and by
doing this the Governor has met the
views of all right thinking people. /

wise, and had he done differently he GER
tainly would have been universally con-
demned. He has been guided by sense of
duty, and will receive general praiseV
