Trouble Over a Sewer.

Peter Cereni, a hotelkeeper on North
Main avenue, at the intersection of
Wood street, has caused the GirarI
Paving company much trouble by al
lowing the waste water to run from
his building upon the street where the
company has been laying concrete.
Yesterday morning he applied to the
city engineer for permission to connect
with the sewer The city engineer ruled
that as Mr.. Cereni had ample time to
connect with the sewer before the paw
ing company had reached his place,
and as he had been so obstinate, he
could not allow him to open the side
walk and thus discommode the public
until the pave had been completed in
front of Cerenis place.
Then, when the public could use the
pavement while the sidewalk was torn
up, Mr.. Cereni could connect with the
sewer but not until then.

Harvey Held in Bail.

Harvey, the young lad arrested for
robbing the home of Thomas Shep-
hard, of Eynon street, was given a
hearing last evening in the West
Scranton station house. He was COM
mitted to jail in default Of bail.
Lieutenant Williams has been able
to secure all the articles except one of
the watches and the Columbian half-
dollar, which he spent. Harvey has
been in the tolls on several instances
before and seems to be an incorrigib!e
youth His father did not appear at
the hearing. Having done all in his
power to reform the boy he desired
to let the law take it's course. 1t is
probable that Harvey will be sent to a
reformatory.

TOLD IN BRIEF.

The finest entertainment that has been listened
to by the people Of this section was that given
last evening by the De Moss family at the
Providence Methodist Episcopal church. This is
family of truly talented musicians, playing,
altogether, forty.one different instruments. They
are five in number all of whom possess an eX.
cellent voice. The auditorium of the church
was filled with lovers of music. George De Moss
showed much skill in handling the corncts.
The instruments played in the Ocarina band are
supposed TO have been found in the ruins Of
Pompei The playing on these instruments by
the family was marvellous. The Cornet band con.
sisted of eight pieces, but was played by only
five persons Many of the selections rendered
