Polluting Drinking Hater a Nnls'auce.
Judge Thayer, who Is probably the
ablest of the Philadelphia judges, has
Instructed the juries who are trying par
ties accused of polluting the Schuylkill
above the waterworks, that it is an in
dictable nuisance te permit any foul
matter te pass into the river that will
damage the water for drinking purposes.
-Tbe-judge-Eftid-ho-cnnld-cencolve-ol no
- greater nuisance than the pollution of
the drinking water of the peenle, and
that the jury had only te consider
whether the accused persons had al
lowed injurious matter te pas into the
Schulkill te And them guilty. This
willstrike the general understanding as
geed eense and geed law. It Is certainly
true that we have a right te pure drink
ing water, nnd that we should be
protected in it by the law. The waters of
the rivers and streams above and below
the ground may be used for drinking
purposes. All the water en the earth,
save the brackish water of the sea, is
generally capable of use for driuking
purposes.
It would seem therefore that Judge
Thayer's law, which is commended by
the public sense, forbids the casting of
any foul matter into fresh water
streams, above or below ground.
This being the law, it will be at once
noted that the law is net obeyed. Our
surface streainB nre used for the pur
pose of carrying off the sewerage of our
"t0wn8, nnd the streams below the ground
which supply our wells are used in like
manner te take away the drainage of our
cesspools. Wells in thickly populated
districts cannot be used because of the
generally porous character of the water ;
and new it is happening that the borders
of our streams are becoming se densely
populated as te cause their water te be
unfit for the drinking use of cities.
The law which protects them from
pollution has been in abeyance. Judge
Thayer and his juries revive It in Phila
delphia and punish n few of the nearest
transgressors. But what are the judges
and Juries going te de with the towns en
the Schuylkill above Philadelphia that
empty their sewerage into the stream ?
And what is te be done with all the
ether towns in the ceuutiy which pol pel
late its streams V What is te be done
with Philadelphia itself ;or is she te be
Uermltted te empty her sewers into the
Delaware and Schuylkill en the theory
that their waters below her limits are
net drinking waters ?
Witntueiaw, as Juuge Thayer ex
pounds it, and ills juries execute it, we
think the officers of all cities with
3wer3 have cause te feel uneasy, lest
they may shortly tlnd themselves in
jail.
KcaiSTEit linecis denies that he
talked the geed sense which was
ascribed te him by a Philadelphia Inter
Tiewer the ether day ; but the Etening
Ztltgravh, which was responsible for the
original publication, reiterates the truth
and says that if Mr. Uruce was misre
ported at all it was only in that the
publication of his Interview withheld
aeme things "which would net be agree
able reading" for either Bruce or Blaine
Tais js a yery plausible nnd, likely, a
yery truthful statement. Mr. Bruce is
a Stalwart In hla feelings, and being a
leader of his race, ought te have the
geed sense te see that its future lies in a
' generous acceptance of the Deraoeratlo
r. policy declared by Cleveland and uet in
e jrleldlug te the groundless apprehensions
v- waicu. iilalne sought te excite. Bruce
doubtless felt this and said it ; be would
have done mere credit te hims?lf te
have stuck te It.

Theue Is a geed moral in a news item
from New Yetk which relates the capture
of a burglar by a young man who, pay ng
a call en a young lady last Sunday even
ing, lingered in the dark parlor until a
late hour. A burglar seeing the heuse
wrapped in Egyptian darkness, considered
the opportunity excellent te force an en.
trance into It. When the burglar was
ready te enter the best young man
emerged from the parlor, cellared him and
promptly took him te the lookup. If this
midnight marauder had been a wise man
he would have known that a darkened
parlor en Sunday evening was a eertain
indication that the same was tenanted.
A few days since the Chicago exprecs
train was saved by the hcroie devotion of
a signal man at Peekskill, N. Y. The
storm hurled the signal bridge and the
house of the signal man en the track, and
when the train eame te a standstill, it was
found that the unfortunate man was
buried under tbe debris. A collection was
taken up resulting iu gathering seventy flve
dollar j for the man's family. There were
about 250 people en tbe train. The amount
collected would seem te show that they
regarded their lives as worth en the aver aver
age thirty cents each. The mangled and
bleeding here should devote the money te
the erection of a brazen shaft commemo
rative of the parsimony of these whose
lives he had saved.

Dr. Nervln GreeD, president of the
Western Union telegraph oerapany, has
Issued a card te the public, iu which he
says :
" I deny In the most emphatic manner
that the Western Union oempany de
layed, altered or withheld the election
returns of New Yerk state, or any ether
state, or tampered with them In any way.
It had nethlug whatever te de with the
returns of the state of New Yerk, exeept
te transmit them ever its lines as pre
pared by the agenta of the Aseclnted
Press. All the retnrns of the state were
colleetcd by the Associated Press, all the
compiling was dene in Its offices by Its
own agent', and all bulletins in .New
Yerk were prepared by it and
oepies were simply delivered te Mr.
Bommervlllo, superintendent of our
newspaper serviee, for general distribution
te the public The company had nethlug
te de with making up the bulletins, nur
did any officer or apent or otber person
connected with or Interested in this com
pany, exeept the operators who transmit
ted the returns, have aecess te or see any
of them until bulletins ha 1 htcn made up
therefrem in the Associated Prosseffico and
handed te us for pablie distribution, and
1 have no reason te believe that the ageuta
of tbe Associated Press acted otherwise
than in an impartial manner. Ordinarily
many of our elhccs are net kept open for
business after 8 o'cleok p. m. Te assist
us in meeting the extraordinary expense
of the extra employment of several thou
sand night operators we have had (or many
years arrangement with the press associ
ation, giving us the privilege of selling
balletlns te political and social club', and
ether subscribing customers. We simply
took the association's bulletins as that as
association had made them up, and dehv
ered them, as heretofore, te customers
who haJ subsenbed nothing mere. Tbe
charge that the returns were purposely
withheld, or that there was unusual delay
In reporting them, is entirely false.
" The reports came through and were
sent out by our superintendent, Mr. J. F.
Wallack, who Insists that he used every
eflert te obtain all the returns as speedily
as possible. I consider the demand for an
investigation of that servlee mode by tbe
Indianapolis Sentinel, and also by Mr.
Wallack himself, reasonable and proper,
and I have asked the chairman of the
Indiana Damocratie state oemmitteo te
take part in the investigation, or te name
a representative te de se. The manage
ment of this company In its business rela
tion te the public is strictly non-political
and non partisan.
"The empleyes represent every shade
of political opinion. I knew that
thera are qnite as many Democrats as Re
publicans. It is, therefore, manifestly
absurd te charge that the service of this
company should be converted into a party
machine, or could in any way distort or
still 3 the facts, when such an attempted
conspiracy could only have been made by
the aid of n large number of members of
the political party whieh it was designed
te injure."

Eternal and ever blessed Father, who
hast all power in and of Thyself, and hast
created man in Thy holy image, and placed
him iu this world of powers : we beseech
Thce te teaeh us se te direct, oentrol nnd
use these forces that Thy will shall be the
outcemo, aud man's benefit tbe result.
We knew we shall err unless Theu dost
teach, nn.l Thy patience is fully manifest
iu the tireless lesseni Theu bast given us ;
thcrofero we inute Thy aid at this time,
aud ask for direction and guidance.
We learned long age, our Father, that
this world is our throne, and It is Thy lu
tentieu and our intercst that all powers
should be subservient te our well be'.ng :
yet we are tremblers iu venture and slug
gards In practice, and whereas we should
marshal the forces, leading them in our
interest and te our victory, they marshal
us, and lead against our iutcrcst, and are
our oenquorors. Fergive us, we pray
Thee, in this our slowness te appreciate
and te understand our advantage.
We knew that Theu art en the side of
whatever removes the cause of disease and
pestilence, and tends te lengthen life. Help
us te be en the same ide, sin net only ap
plying physical forces for the purifying of
earth, air and water, but also moral aud
spiritual forces te purify the intelligent
subjects dopending en earth, air and water
May the grasp of our mind be bread aud
firm se that we shall net think th.t the
whole end of life is obtained by a regard
for the material, or sitiified with the
cleansing of tbe "outside of the cup and
platter," bnt that we shall see the larger,
and broader and higher parts of our nature
in their natural unalcinness, and se use
the appropriate Ged given means for their
cleansing.
W ask Thy blessing upon this institu-
i.eu and the society it represents, since
they are In tbe category of werklnc force
for the bettering of tne condition of the
race ; and may these men be reminded by
the symbolized purity exhibited In their
establisbmeut of that higher purity, and se
seek te possess it threugb tbe bleed of our
Uhrist.
May the institution itself, rather than
engender prejudice, hate and malice, be a
petent stimulus te the community in pos
sessing Itself of a much needed spiritual
purification.
We beseech Thce, our Father, te give us
all these blessings, and sueh ethers as Tby
wisdom snail discover we need, and our
need shall cry te tboe te possess ; and we
shall praise Taee in a world without end,
threugb Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
THE BOOT TLCED IN TnE RETORT.
The folding doers that cencsal the

closed and tne work ei incineration com

AVhile these proceedings were being had,
the audience arese and looked en with
breathless interest ; and many of them
remained in tne auaicnce room ler a
considerable time after the deer of the
retort had been closed.
THE INCINERATION A COMI'LETE BCCCESS
As seen as it could conveniently be done
tbe audience was dismissed from the
crematorium and the doers wero closed.

By direction ei Dr. M. L. Davis, Mr.
Beamesderfer, who had charge of the
furnace, made quarter hourly reports of
the inoiceiatien. At tbe end of ene hour
and fifteen miuutes the incineration was
reported te be oemplote. The lire was
drawn from the furnace and the retort
was permitted te cool gradually, tbe doers
being kept closed all nigbt. At He clock
this morning the doers of the retort were
opened, the pure, white ashes of the body
nau tanen tureugu tne open cratowerk
of the raek upon which it bad
rested, and lay upon tbe fleer of
the retert. The rack was withdrawn, and
seen afterwards tbe ashes of the body
were also taken from the retort. The
incineration was very complete. Net
a single nartiole of organle matter remain

most te tine ashes. Boareely a piece an

were se completely inoinerated that they
crumbled te ashes en tbe Bluntest touch
Tbe weight of tbe ashes is thics pounds

evening. He is an intelligent, line looking
man, apparently GO years of age. The
ashes et his wlfe will be shipped te him

The successful cremation appears te
baye made a very favorable Impression en
all who witnessed it, und in brief inter
views which we have had with a number
of citizens tbe belief is very gonerai that

This morning a rather low-spirited
looking grey horse, hitehed te a wagon in
which there was a new steve, steed In

Suddenly he imagined that he ought te
run away,and when another team came up
behind him he started up street. His

two mules with a lead of oeru behind
them were sleepily going north at the
time. The runaway team ran into them,
breaking the coupling pole of the wagon.
In front of Copland's there was a horse
and a butcber wagon, which was occupy
ing considerable of the street; the runaway
animal seemed te beaware of this fact aud
dasbed into the wagon whieh quickly

was tnrewn ever tne dasher and was
quietly lying en the Belgian blocks bofero
he knew what had struek blm. The grey
herse continued up street e the City
hotel, where he was captured. The wagon
had an axle broken and a part of it was
left sticking te the wheel. Strange te say
the little stove, which was the sole ooou eoou oeou
pant of the wagon, was but slightly
broken. The qnlet-loeklng herse whieh
created all thla disturbanoe is owned by

Last evening tbe popular play of " The

aud the audience was by no means large.
The show was oxeollent and the audience
displayed their appreciation of it by
frequent and hearty applause. The
feature of the production was the scenery,
which was as fine as any ever seen here.
It was admirably worked, and the scenes
worthy of particular notlee were these of
the sinking ship, the raft, and the revelv
ing moonlight panorama. The company
was strong, and J. Z. Little's imperson
ation of Harry Ellitten.tha sailor here, was
