Word was received here yesterday
of the death on March 20. at Leipzig,
Sachsen, Germany, of Rev. William
Wunderlch, formerly pastor of the
Hickory Street Presbyterian church.
Rev. Mr. Wunderlch assumed
charge of the congregation in 1863 and
was its pastor for twentythree years.
He did d great work for religion while
here. When he took charge the con-
gregation worshipped in what was
known as the white church." but it's
membership so increased under his
wise guidance that the church now
occupied had to be erected. He was
both pious and learned, a man whose
every day life was an incentive to
those who came in contact with him
10 live better lives. His influence for
good in this part of the city cannot
be overestimated.
In 1889 Rev. Mr.. Wunderlich was
compelled to resign on account of fail
ing health and returned to his old
home in Germany where he contin-
ued to preach the gospel until about
two years ago.

BETTER SEWERAGE NEEDED.

When the main sewer was connect
ed with the old oxford mine culvert
and thence carried down to the river,
about 25 feet of the old culvert where
it crosses the Smithing and Ansley
properties on Meridian street was not
reconstructed and as consequence
during every severe storm for the past
six or eight years these properties
have suffered from the water bursting
through this section and causing dam
age and annoyance.
The escaping sewer gas is also both
dangerous and annoying. Since South
Main and Hyde Park avenues have
been paved greater amount of refuse
than before is forced through the sew
er. During yesterdays storm both
of the above properties were badly
damaged, the water standing from one
to two feet deep in the barns and
outbuildings, so that the horses and
cattle had to be removed.
Complaint has been made to council
men and street commissioners for
years without a remedy being effected.
These property owners contemplate
suing the city for several thousand
dollars damages.

quantities of dust and accumulations
from the cutters into the road during

passed over this city yesterday played
havoc in many places, the damages in

The board of trade, at its monthly
meeting last evening. again discussed
the possibility of a vladuct over the
railroad crossing on West Lackawan-
ma avenue, and the proposition made
by the Scranton Railway company to
build structure sixteen feet wide to
allow the laying of a double track
thereon. was thoroughly argued 1t
was the consensus of opinion that n
viaduct should be erected, but that
sidewalks ought to be added also
The idea of a subway being built to
overcome the present danger was con-
sidered out of the question. as the
railroad company does not favor such
a plan.
After much discussion the matter
was referred to the streets and bridges
committee, with instructions to take
immediate action and report at the
next meeting. The committee is COM
posed of A. B. Holmes, Joseph =. Phil
lips, Thomas NJ. Watkins, II. d. Jones,
