WASHINGTON will continue 10 enjoy
the presence here of numerous bridal
couples from Maryland. Many Mary
land young people who are about to
enter upon the marital relation come
10 this city to have the ceremony per-
formed, because the price of license
in their State is $3.50. BY making a
visit to Washington they can get the
knot tied at much less expense and
ut the same time enjoy short bridal
tour. In the Maryland Senate yester-
day an effort was made to reduce the
license fee from $3.50 to 81, but it
failed.

A SEWERAGE SYSTEM.

The Board of Commissioners OF Winston
Salem Entertaining the Proposition
Some weeks ago THE SENTINEL, being an
advocate of an economical system of sew
erage for Winston-Salem, had conversa-
ton with Prof. J. L. Ludlow, the accom-
plished civil engineer of this city, who is an
expert in practical sewerage. The inter
view resulted in a article published in these
columns urging upon the city authorities the
necessity of immediate action in the direc-
ton indicated. We are glad to believe that
some good has come from THE SENTINEL's
suggestion.
A Joint committee from the Boards OF
Commissioners of both Winston and Salem,
held meeting Thursday evening last, and
heard Prof Ludlow's report, he having been
detailed to go over the ground and ascertain
the probable cost of a system, such as the
exigencies Of the situation seem to require.
The cost of the system as recommended by
Prof. Ludlow, is $500 for Winston, and
Sl7OO for Salem 1t is intended that the
main pipe shall begin at Fourth Street, be-
tween Liberty and Old Town Streets, and
extend down the branch to Salem Creek.
Pipes leading to and emptying into the
main pipe, are TO De lalQ on CneEEy, Oiu
Town, Liberty, Main, Church and Elm
Streets.
Prof. Ludlow says the cost estimated is
about half what is usually required for the
same amount of sewerage, and that while
studying this system, he has practically
solved the problem of inexpensive sewerage.
The good health of community is para
mount to every other blessing people can
have. and to the attainment Of that end, tax
payers ought to most cheerfully contribute
their endorsement
There can be but little doubt that much
of the illness in our midst during the sum-
mer months has been from an imperfect
drainage. Let our town adopt a practical
sewerage system and our people will enjoy
better health.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS.
SURVEYORS BEGIN WORK ON THE
wILKEsBORO EXTENTION.

The Richmond and Danville People ap-
pear to mean Business,-A Settled fact
that the South Atlantic & North Wes-
tern r Dad will Pass Through Winston.
A party of surveyors sent by the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Company, be-
gan one day last week to survey the propos-
ed extension of the North Western Road
from Winston to Wilkesboro.
The surveying party didn't seem inclined
to give much information relative to the in
tension of the r. & D. Co., but the fact that
the proposed extention is actually being sur
veyed, begins to look like the r. & d. peo-
pie meant business. This view of the mat
ter is further strengthened by the publica-
ton in the Danbury Reporter OF the follow
ing:
We have private letter from Mr.. George
W. Hinshaw, of Winston, in which he says
he is authorized by Col. Andrews of the
Richmond and Danville r. r. to state that
his company will iron and equip road from
Winston to Danbury provided it is graded
and cross ties furnished, or bonds covering
the cost of grading and cross ties are voted
and held ia escrow by a trust company till
the road is finished. Mr.. Rinshaw says,
eve can leave the Wilkesboro line (exten-
sion of the Greensboro and Salem Railroad)
at q point from Eve to seven miles north OF
Winston and get to Danbnry by building
from q to "a miles of road which will cost
some ninety Thousand dollars to grade and
cross tie. !" Mr.. Hinshaw further says
eve will subscribe forty-thousand dollars
of the amount. Can your county and Col.
Heck raise the balance fifty thousand dol
lars); If so we will take the vote on the for
ty thousand dollars subscription very soon.
Col. Andrews promises to have the line
surveyed as soon as the engineers get through
with the Wilkesboro route"
There are a good number of our citizens
who seem to doubt the sincerity of the r. &
D. road, and say that this surveying pro-
ject is meant to act as a damper upon the
South Atlantic and North Western Road
from Smithville to Bristol, and which de-
sires to pass through Winston, and touch at
Wilkesbore. Gel. Risley during his recent
visit here is said to have told a Winston
gentlemen, that while this city had not Of
fered as much for his road as he had hoped
for, still, he and his company were SO i'm
mensely, pleased with our city, its future
prospects, and its freight traffic, that it was
now a settled fact that his road would take
in Winston on its course to Bristol. Thi'
Is good news indeed, if it be reliable news
Two roads to W1kesboro from Winston
certainly could do us no harm. The com
petition would lesson freight and increas'
the bulk of,trake between our city and the
upper sections. Let us not discourage eth
-er road, both can an! may be built, and on
encouragement and assistance ought to b.
given to both.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
"A Son of Mr.. Sandford Snyder Shot by ssE

"A Son of MIR. Sandford Snyder Shot Big pE
Air Rifle.
Our community on Saturday was panied
to learn of the fatal and accidental shooting
of Arthur Snyder, son of Mr.. Sanford
Snyder, who lives near this city. The par
eiculars are about as follows:
On Saturday evening Arthur and a friend
left home for the purpose of hunting. In
passing branch he rested his gun, a small
air rifle, upon the plank, and turned to
speak to his companion. In doing SO his
foot knocked the butt of the piece off of the
board and in falling the hammer struck the
edge of the plank causing it to discharge its
contents into the abdomen of the unfortu-
nate young man.
He was assisted to his brothers house and
.on Sunday morning breathed his last. His re-
mains were inferred in the Salem Grave
yard, appropriate and impressive ceremon
les being conducted by Rev. DR.. Rondthaler,
He was bright boy, trustworthy at all
times and was ever at his post of duty, and
was possessed with many noble traits of
character.
Thus again we are shown the uncertainty
of life, and how suddenly many are hhurled
into eternity without time for preparation
1t is indeed sad death. THE SENTINEL
extends condolance to the bereaved family
in their affiction.
