Considerable   Talk of   Annexing the Boroughs of
Edgeworth and Se-
. wickley.
Edgeworth and Leetsdale boroughs
are having trouble over what they consider excessive water rates and this
has set many rumors afloat concerning
the annexation of the borough of
Edgeworth to Sewickley. It is claimed
that Edgeworth would be greatly bene-
fiteed should annexation take place, in
the betterment of her water rates,
that the Sewickley garbage furnace
would be available; the police department would be strengthened, and that
a well equipped fire department could
be maintained. There are other prominent men of Edgeworth who claim
that the two boroughs could economically operate a municipal electric light
plant that would furnish street lights
(not the kind SeWickly is using now, as
they were not intended for street
lamps, according to a statement made
recently by- a representative of the
Nernst people) but good lights, and
that the private consumers could be
supplied at a more reasonable rate.
The advance in the water rates mentioned above, do not take effect until
the 1st of April and the citizens of
Edgeworth say that the annexation
scheme is a practical one.

KILLED NMUOIUl
Prominent Young Haysville
Man Run Down by Train.
Mr. Guy L. Beadell, a prominent
young man of Haysville, was found
dead on the tracks of the Port Wayne
road near the Haysville station on
Tuesday morning.
Mr. Beadell returned from the city
Monday night at 11 o'clock and was last
seen alive by the conductor and Dr.
Jennings, of this place, who boarded
the train at Haysville. He bade them
good night and started up the platform
toward his home.   It was raining and
as the street was very muddy it is
thought that he was walking on the
track with his head down and did not
see the engine or train which struck
him.
The body was not discovered until
morning. As there were no trains due
at this point for fome time Mr. Beadell
is believed to have been struck by an
engine running light. He was in his
27th year, and was a member of the
Haysville Council and has a large circle
of friends. •
The funeral was held from St. James
Roman Catholic church, Sewickley, of
which he was a member, on Thursday
morning at 10.30. Rev. M. J. Sweeny
conducted requiem high mass. The
pall bearers were six cousins of the deceased, Messrs. James Coil, James
Kerr, Jos. Gawley, and Raymond,
William and Reuben Porter.
Mr. Beadell was the only son of Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. P. Beadell, with whom
he made his home. He was a nephew
of Mrs. David Porter of Chestnut
street, Sewickley.

Reports from our neighboring borough, Edgeworth, are to the effect that
the spring election will bring several
changes in the personel of the Council
and School Boards. .
The many friends of Mr. Charles
Watts, General Superintendent of Passenger Transportation of the Pennsylvania Lines, will regret to know of his
retirement from borough affairs. Mr.
Watts has served eight consecutive
years as presiding officer of Township,
Road and School Boards. During his
administration the first macadam roads
were built, followed by the handsome
public school building, both of which
add largely to property values and to
Edgeworth's desirability as a resident
section. Numerous appeals to have
him again stand for election as school
director, have been steadfastly declined, he having declared long since
his intention of retiring from office
with the present term.
