The unfertunate turmeils in the Reaver Lawrence and Chester-Delaware districts have been calculated te stimulate this feel ing of unrest in ether soclieusof the state There is also n feeling of disquiet in the Montgemory-Bucks and Luzorue districts, which even the nomination of such popular candidates as Irving P. Wanger and Gen eral Osburne may net bosufllcleut te ovor evor over coino. The fermer district, considered doubtful, and the latter Democratic In the redisricting of the state are threatened with an attack of this political epidemic. The less of one or two moie districts in Pennsylvania with the certaln less of iilue districts in Ohie Is regarded as a discour aging prospect te retaining control of Cen gross.

These complaints wero referred te the health commissioner. T11K COMMISSIONKn'S RKt-OUT. The following Is the report of the health commissioner in 'regard te liose Brethors A llartinan's chse : In cempliance of your instructions as health commissioner en Tuesday of this week made a thorough Investigation of the factory and surrounding premises occu pied by Rose Bres it Hartman, umbrella manufacturers. First place vislted was the fourth fleer, where a lnrge iron tank was seen in the northeastorn portion of the room, Inte this tank the water is pumped several times daily, and when titled flews through n plpe at Its upver surface Inte a tank of similar kind en the first Doer, nud thencolute the boiler which It supplies. The water was found In the upKi- tank clear, oderloss, without taste and appar ently pure. The seurce or the water sup plied te this factory, both by running the sumo and for drinking purosesls from a well situated In a cellar of n private heuse in the rear of the factory en West King street;; the well Is enclosed by a circular slone wall surrounding It completely re moving tborefero as far ns pessible all seurce of oxternal contamination. The vvater Is conveyed directly through n large pipe, which empties Inte the large tank Tn the fourth fleer of the factory, 'as bofero uioutleiiod the well Is net us could be ascer tained In close proximity te any water clesets or out heuses or Indeed te uuy pel. luting seurce from contamination might occur from theso facts, therefore it may be stated here that the health commission does net consider supplies from this factory In any way responsible for the many cases of typhoid and malarial fevers which have occurred among the ompleyes or this factory. Net finding the cause horn an Inspection of the vvnter closets of the factory. 0 In number, was next In order, these niJ llie host ure mere apologies of what they ought te be. They are of peer make und with small water pipes nud de net carry the rofuse deposited, the result being decomposition ami a nasty penetrating odor, Mr. Rose was roquestod te remeve the vnlve of each and replace the water plpe with n larger ene and keep the basin of each o'eset thoroughly clean and free from odor by pouring Inte it daily n powerful disinfectant. When questioned concerning the number of empleyes new sick Mr. Rose puts the number at about 35 in all, the first ene te be taken sick with typhoid fover In this establishment was Sullie Trout; previous te lier Illness while working in the fuctery ene of her family was lying dangerously ill with the same malady bofero she was taken sick, net ene of the many empleyes com plained of or wero kept from work through illness. It may be suited here that Miss Trout kept en working for quite n time, though indisposed herself from the tlme of her brother's Illness with typhoid fover until she wus stricken down. Look Leek ing it the malter from a bread view your houlth'ceminlsHioucr is decidedly el the opinion that the unuse of the pievalllug typhoid and milder types of the saiue cllsease among the empleyes of Rose Bres. t Hartmau'H manufactory me due te ene cause, the Introduo Intreduo Introdue Hon of typhoid poison of ene of Us empleyes. In explanation of this that typhoid, though net contagious In the common acceptation of that lerm, ewes its oiiginte u peculiar poison which isasse dated with the decomposition of animal matter. ContentH of sewers or fuccJt can never produce it. Since, through the foundation of the disease it is essential that the typhoid genns being preseut, therefore, though the clesets of the fnctery ure foul smelling, they could never have caused the spread of the dlscase without the deposit of the typhoid germs in which uuder the conditions uamej would have found nsmtuble soil for its ac tivity nud multiplication sufficient te poison n lnrge number of persons. Thoro Thero Thore lore It seems perfectly clear that the spread of typhoid wus due te the closets, or water closets frequented by ene of the women cmployes, wherein the typhoid germs vvcie conveyed audjuinltlplied through the ex cretions deposited by one of said ompleyes and conveyed by gaseous exhalations te all theso or a greater ut of theso who frequented the sauie closet or closets. In conclusion it may be slated that Mr. Rose is huvlng everything about the plnce iiioreuguiy ciismiecuxi, ami win use city Instead of well wnter lioreafl or. In accordance with the orders of the beard of health the umbrella factory will be closed up to-meaiow for the porled of a week or ten days, In order that everything can be again gotten In geed shape.
