A cIrVs REFUSE.

G TREEr Commissioner Piarson yes
~ terday made recommendation
20 the street and Sewer Commission
that paper be eliminated in collecting
the ashes OF the city. The loose paper
blowing about the streets constitutes
Ia nuisance. and the remedy suggested
Is 10 refuse 10 remove it.
But for that matter the removal OF
ashes when winds are high is a nui-
sance and to have rows OF boxes, bar
rels and cans along the pavement
awaiting collector Is a nuisance.
The gathering Of garbage, with the
evll-smelllng wagons passing through
the streets Is also a nuisance; but the
nuisance would be greater to allow
all this refuse to remain on the prem
ises.
Now what are people TO do with all
the waste paper which accumulates III
such quantlties9 They cannot easily
dispose OF It, and in paying their
taxes they think that they have pro-
vided a way FOR it's disposal. A"'
AS a matter OF fact the city ought
to extend It's service OF removing
waste and refuse Of all kinds. The
health and convenience Of the people
are~or should be the objects. Collect
ors OF ashes and other refuse ~should
be required TO 80 into the yards and
remove any refuse that is required to
be removed.
In Wilmington on winter morning
just before the arrival Of the.ash man
there are hundreds OF business men,
and in some cases women. tugglng at
barrels and boxes, soiling their cloth
ing and putting themselves to vast
deal OF annoyance. when the ash man
whose business It is. might relieve
them OF the burden. It is done that
way in Philadelphia and in other cit
les with modern ideas.
It would have the advantage. also,
Of keeping off OF the sidewalks the un-
slightly receptacles that sometimes
stand there for a day or two. with the
wind sitting the ashes all over the
town.
This is a reform that should be in
stituted right away, and we should not
ask the people to sort over refuse as
though Il were composed Of valuable
materials that had 70 be placed in at
tractive packages. The collectors
should be obliged to go into the yards.
do their own asserting II necessary.
and take away everything that the
householder wants taken away.
Then aftersawhlle we shall institute
a real reform: The city will furnish
the receptaoles for garbage and ashes.
These win be square sheet iron boxes
with handles and covers when the
collectors call they viii take away the
receptacles that have been filed. pacl,
them into their carts. and leave others
hn their stead. These win be thor
oughly oleansed after being emptled.
There is no reform that appeals more
to reason than this. And we shall in
time learn that there is enough Of
value In the refuse OF a city to pay for
It's prompt removal.

A HAlE.MAY REFORM.

A FTER the expiration Of the term
II Of ONCE OF the present secre-
tary OF State the person who holds
that position win receive a salary and
VIII turn am fees into the State Treas
ury. Governor Lea has signed the bill
providing for this, passed by the Leg
islature. and it IS now law.
II win save a few thousands Of doll
lars TO the state but that does not
constitute its chief merit The emolu-
ments OF the Office have been such that
the position has been the storm-cen-
ter Of political battles, and the source
Of an sorts Of political lntrgues In
the recent campaign Il threatened TO
prevent harmony between the factions,
and It had much to do with the delay
in organizing the two houses Of Leg
islaturc.
II our recollection serves, the bill
provides for a salary Of $1,000 which
Is entirely too much as state salaries
90. II $4,000 had been clipped off and
given TO the Attorney Generals ohsce
It would have been sensible move.
As It is. future secretaries win receive
more than the chancellor more than
the chief justice and twice as much
as the trained lawyer who has on his
shoulders on the legal business Of the
state.
IL is reform that does not so far
enough. for there would be no dnicul-
ty to get a Secretary OF state equal in
capacity 10 any we have had for $4,000

rHlRTY.ssvEN BODIES FOUND
Little Light Shed On Mine Disaster
at Zeioler H.


Carbondale, ILL.,. April 5. - Thirty
seven bodies of miners who lost their
Ices in the gas explosion at the mine
of Joseph Letter at Zeigler have been
recovered, and It is supposed several
more bodies are in the mine. The ex-
act number of dead will probably not
be known for several days, at least
not until the mine has been divested
of the gas and persons are permitted
to enter. After 36 hours but little
light is shed on the cause Of the ca
tastrophe. The accident is attributed
to carbonic acid gas, due to poor ven
tilation. Every body so far recovered
is a blackened mass. State Inspector
Atkinson, who was killed, was one of
the best-known miners of the district.
He was the father of four children
and was a member Of the Masonic fra
ternity.

FRAUD ALLEGED.
Bill Against Long Distance Telephone
& Telegraph Co., Filed in Chan
Gerry Court.
(Frankiin Favorlte.)

A bill was filed Nov. 81, 1905, in
the Chancery Court by HI. Moore
and wife against the Long Distance
Telephone and Telegraph Co., rep
resented by it's agents, j. IA. Brown
and +. G. Dennison. Complainants
in the bill state that the agents Of
the company offered to furnished
service ia Davidson ana Williamson
counties at $l.00 per month on an
independent line; that the agents
represented to them that all of the
land owners south of them and be-
tween them and Franklin had
granted them right of way and
that all the franchises that were de-
sired had been granted by the city
of Franklin, that they showed to H.
c. Moore paper signed by DIR.
S. +. Oden and wife and stated all
the other land owners along the
Franklin turn pike had granted to
them rights of way.
The bill further alleges t h
Moore, representations made by the
agents that all the neighbors and
other parties had granted to their
company such rights of way, and
believing and relying upon their
statements that the town of Frank
lin had granted such franchises as
were desired, signed paper for the
consideration Of sl.00 granted to the
company a right of wav of about
one mile and ohe-half, and at the
same time he did not know the
value of the right of way but has
since learned that it was worth not
less $4,000.
The bill charges that at one time
these statements were made that
the company had acquired no right
of way from whom they said they
had except DR.. s. f. Odgen. The bill
in substance alleges that a fraud
was practiced on them because OF
the representations made and ask
that the instrument executed be de-
clared null and void and be can
celled and that the company be en-
Joined from disposing of or pledginR
