r wpTwrw T, Sonthsiders Dissatisfied With Hunt & Clapp's Eeporl of Their Water .Examination. THEY AEE PREPARING A PETITION Asking That a Hicroscopic Analysis of the Water be Made by the Council manic Committee. TO BE PEESUSTED BY DE. BEEWSTEL Ojita of Eqresnititjvi Citizens on tie Resslt of tie Committee's Work. The result of the chemical analysis of the Southside water has created so much dis satisfaction on that side of the river '.that a petition is being prepared, which Dr. Brewster, Councilman 01 the Twenty-ninth ward, will he asked to present to Councils, asking that a microscopical analysis be made. Expressions of dissatisfaction could be heard on all sides yesterday. The citi zens are creatly stirred up over the matter and it is safe to say that when the committee meets nest Saturday it will not need to in vite the Sonthsiders to state their grievances. They will be present and will not wait for the invitation. The chief objection to the work of the In vestisating Committee is the fact that they secured a chemical analysis of the water. ".Not only as a Councilman, but as a citizen I will not be satisfied with that kind of an investigation," said Dr. Brewster, last night "The chemicals that were nsed in making the examination may have killed the very matters that were expected to be found. Then again organic matter, the im purities which contain the most dangerous disease germs, CAXNOT BE DETECTED by a chemical analysis. So I cannot see what good the examination has been. "We are just where we were. Mr. Atterbury has always said the Monongahcla water was the second inquali'' and purity in the country, and I suppose we will have to accept it as such now. But we have had microscopic analysis of the water before, and we know better." Dr. McCord, Councilman from the Thir tieth ward, is not very well pleased either. He has no fault to find with the chemist, but has grave doubts as to the condition of the water Irom the standpoint of purity. The water contains much that the chemists said nothing about, and he is not at all satisfied with the report of the chemists. A. A. Alles, the real estate agent, said: "I don't care what the result of the exami nation is, I am satisfied the water is bad. I have lost tenants through it. People have rented houses from me and have moved to the hill districts, to the Old City or Alle gheny. Many have moved away again and others threaten to go. The long and short of it is, the condition of the water is a hindrancejto the real estate business on this side ami it will not improve until tbey give us better water. EEAL ESTATE DErEECIATING. "I know I have lost sales of properly through it, and it crops out as one of the difficult questions to answer in every deal we make, especially with people coming from any other section of the city." C. E. Succop said he could not see where the benefit would come irom the nresent ex amination. He had all respect for the chemists who did the work, but in his.judg menta mistake had been made by the com mittee in ordering a chemical analysis. An other thing he noticed, that these examina tions are invariably made when the river is hich and when the water is in its best con dition. There can be no question as to the water's condition, bat I suppose this is an other of those periodical agitations that spring up for a time and then die away without resulting in any good, and the peo ple must continue to use bad water. The position of Dr. E. A. Mundorf is so well known that a call upon him was unnecessary. He has made several micro scopical analyses of the Southside water, taken from various points and at different periods of the year, when the water was in various conditions. He has made the Southside water almost a life study, and in a recent interview with a DisrATCH recorter said the water was so full of organic matter, and the conditions sur rounding it such that the city never will get a pure supply of water without going to some one of the lakes for it. ALL AEE DISSATISFIED. Several other citizens were spoken to. All were dissatisfied with the result of the present examination, and even intimated that it a new analysis is not ordered, they will start a popular subscription for the purpose of collecting funds to have a micro scopic analysis made. And they will not get the work done in Pittsburg, either. Samples will be procured when the river is in its ordinary condition, and they will be sent away for examination, leaving those who do the work in total ignorance of where the samples come from, or why the examina tion is being made. It wiil not be difficult to raise the amount of money necessary to do this. There are citizens on the Southside who are so dis couraged over the water question that they 'nill go to almost any extreme if there are any prospects for an'improvement in sight. They raised enough money a week or two ago in half a day's time to" put down a test well to be drilled in the Twenty-sixth ward, and work on the well will be commenced this week. The well will be drilled on Sarah street, near the Twenty-sixth ward schoolhouse. OPEEAT0ES KTJST HOT GAMBLE. The Western Union Insncs nn tOrder to lis Employe. The general management of the 'Western Union Telegraph have lately issued orders to the operators which threatens them with dismissal for frequenting pool rooms, at which money is staked upon the result of horse races, or any other place where any game of chance is in operation. The order has been strictly adhered to in St Louis and other cities, where pool rooms, are now under the law's protection, but the gambling laws of this state forbid pool sell ing and as a result operators have not got the opportunities to visit those places in this city. HENEY STEIHHAUSEE BUSIED. A Large Turnout of Secret Societies Honor Ibc Snicldr. Henry Steinbauser, of Chartiers township, aged SI years, who shot himself about three months ago but lingered until last Friday, was buried Irom the German United Evangelical Church on Steuben street, "West End, yesterday afternoon. Steinbauser was "a member of several "West End lodges which attended the funeral and marched to the cemetery in a body, making a very large funeral. East Endera in the Police Coort. Magistrate Hyndman, of the Second po lice district, disposed of nine cases at the Fourteenth ward station yesterday morning. Jlrs. Kate Savage was sent 30 days to the workhouse for abusing her mother. John McCoy was fined 525 and costs for assault ing Officer Lenhart while making an arrest. The other seven cases were discharged. WANTANOTHERTES THAT 0LDSILK HAT. A TRAMP'S SUNDAY MORNING SERMON ON SIXTH AVENUE. Deriving n Moral From a Dilapidated Tile An Emblem of the Downfall of Man The) Service Concluded bjTnklna Dp a Col lection. In the mire of Sixth avenue, beneath the windows of a certain well-known political and social club, lay a dilapidated silk hat Once upon a time it bad been a glossy hat, but now its crown was beaten in, and it lay at the mercy of a harsh world upon those muddy pavements. The sprucely clad church-goers glanced disdainfully from be neath their irreproachable head-coverings at the castaway. The occasional street arab gave the old hat a good-humored kick as he went by, and the wheels of cab and car spattered it as they rattled along. Presently the stream of church-folk ceased. Only a few stragglers hurried by with hymn books and umbrellas. An organ began to peal from two neighboring temples of worship, and the notes or a sacred chant arose. Just then therestrolled along the sidewalk a tall, gaunt individual. Hewasoutatthe"elbows,andgenerallyseedy to look upon; yet spite of unshaven jaws, and nose suggestive of over-indulgence in liquor, there -ras a certain air of dignity about the man. He carried a ragged umbrella, which he swung to and fro as he walked. Suddenly the newcomer's bloodshot eyes caught sight of the old hat in the roadwav, and with a smile the man stopped short. First he looked up at the loungers in the club windows, then at the battered hat, which he raised on the point of his umbrella. A party of young fellows chanced to be passing, and some of the mem bers were descending the club steps. Seeing that he had an audience the broken-down man waved the hat in the air and began a sermon and such a sermon! "Look at this outcast hat. my brethren," he exclaimed, "and draw a moral from its de gradation. It has been thrown from the windows of yonder clnb; nerhaps it was the hat of a Senator; perhaps it glistened in the halls of the Capitol. At any rate, it was once a fine silk hat Look at it now, brethren; kicked abont, dirt-bespattered, robbed of its splendor, it must lie in the gutters till the street sweener brushes it who can say whither. "Now take your eyes away from the old hat and remark the political bigwigs who are smoking in those rooms overhead. They are all glossy hats, but some day or other they may be kicked into the mud, just likfi this hat. There have been such falls be fore, brethren, and snch there will be again. Hut I see a minion of the law approach ing; I must cease my little sermon, trusting that when I pass around this hat, which serves at once as text and collection box, yon will act generously to a dinnerless preach er." The old hat was passed around among the politicians and the rest of the motley con gregation, which had largely increased. Quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies were thrown into the ragged receptacle, and one bright dollar glittered amid the little col lection. Then, as a policeman joined the crowd, the preacher emptied th? funds into his pockets, threw the hat once more into the mud and hnrriedly departed. HADING SPEAK-EASIES. Officers Ordered to Do Holiness, and Thoj succeeded. Officers Hanna, Maxwell and Itoach were detailed by Inspector McAleese yesterday to don their citizens' rlotbes and keep their eye on the speak-easy business. They started well, and by 8:30 o'clock in the morning discovered one at No. 279 Second avenue, where Thos.and Elizabeth Kindle were doing business. The house was raided, and the fol lowing visitors found: Frank Hart, John Kiley, John Gargin, William Buxton, Michael Dolan, John Henry and Mary Yokerson. Kindle was released lrora the workhouse on Saturday morning, havincr been sent up for 60 days for running anil legal dram shop. His wife has been doing business during his absence, and on the next trip up the beautilul Allegheny she will probably accompany him. Another sneak-easv was discovered by the officer at 12:40 noon, at No. 18 Liberty street. It was being run by Herman Brick man, and in addition to the proprietor Bar ney Sullivan, of Canonsburg, and James Chalk were captured. The latter was not drinking milk, either, as might be inferred from his name. Charles Frederick, charged with illegal liquor selling, was arrested by Captain Stewart and locked up in the Twenty-eighth ward police station for a hearing to-day. CHICKENS TODEB HIS COAT. Result of nn Honcut Tnxparet'a Early Snn dny KiornlnK Sirel'. Early Sunday morning Officer Adair, of the Lawrcnceville district, was patrolling through Hemlock alley, when he encoun tered Thomas Diskin, who had a suspicious air about him. The officer inquired why Diskin was prowling about back alleys at such an untimely hour, and the man re sponded with an air of injured innocence that he was an honest taxpayer, and was privileged to go about Just at this" time the officer heard a sus picious suppressed cackling under Mr. Diskin's coat An investiga tion showed that the honest citizen had a nice, fat chicken stowed away under his coat, and could give no clear ac count of where it came from. The result was that Mr. Diskin was placed under ar rest, and at the hearing yesterday morning it developed that he was an old offender, and Magistrate Leslie consigned him to the workhouse for 90 days. A P00E WAY TO COLLECT MONEY. Creditors lle.it a Debtor Over the Head Willi n Hnndr-RIIlr. Patrick Loughery and Peter Portrie, two Italians, were arrested by Officer "Welsh last evening and lodged in the Fourteenth ward station on a charge of assaulting John Man ins, a Hungarian, with a handy-billy. Manius and the prisoners quarreled over some money which Manius owed them, and while he was setting on his steps in front of his house last evening they attacked him, beating him over the face and head with the handy-billy, Manius being badly used up. When the prisoners were searched at the station honse the bandy-hilly was fonnd on them. ANOTHER AEEEST MADE. Defendant! in ilie GllcbrUt Case to be Given n Bearing To-Dor. Another arrest was made in the Gilchrist assault case yesterday. August Dell was committed to jail by Magistrate Hyndman upon information made by Inspector "Whitehouse. This makes the fourteenth or fifteenth arrest made so far in the case. The defendants will be given a bearing in the Nineteenth ward this afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock. Officer Brown, of the Southside, who denies that he was impli cated, has been suspended, pending the hearing, by Inspector McKelvy. A LOST TBEAStJBE FOUND. Mrs. Brooder Recovers a Ring; That Wns Burled for Eleven Tears. One day last week while a small boy was digging in a vacant lot on Mt. Oliver he unearthed a ring at a depth of two feet in the toil. It was a solid gold wedding ring and had the initials "J. B." engraved on it The next day it was discovered that the ring belonged to Mrs. John Brouder, a resident oi the hill. Mrs. Brouder had lost the ring 11 years ago, and after a thorough search had given it up as lost forever. The ring is as bright as the day it was lost and Mrs. Brouder feels proud oi her long lost treasure. J A STATE CANDIDATE. Gen. Bastings is Oat for Director Gen eral of the Worlds Fair. A HITATSDSDAYCORNERLOAPING, Business lien Complain of the Tightness of the Honey Market, CLUB DEM0CE1TS GOING TO LEADING General D. H. Hastings, -accompanied by Mayor Gourley, went to Chicago last even ing to boom himself for the director gener alship of the "World's Fair. He is exceed ingly modest about his ambition, and-when told that a carload of his .friends from Phil adelphia had already preceded him to the Windy City, he expressed great surprise, and said he didn't know anything abont it. In the party was P, A. B'. Widener,.of cable road fame, who is a member of the commission. He is working hard tor his friend Bastings, as the report goes. "I am not sure that I would accept the position, even if I got it, but I don't think there is much of a chance for me." "You certainly wouldn't refuse if it were offered to you?" The General only smiled in reply. Mayor Gourley was listening to the conversation, but he said nothing. The Mayor will use his influence to further the Hastings canse. The General said that be hadn't heard tf any other candidates from the State. W. L. Elkins, of Philadelphia, a partner of Mr. Widener's in most of his business enterprises, was also on the limited last evening going to Chicago. When asked if he was booming Hastings forDirector Gen eral, he replied: "No, I have nothing to do with it. bnt if I bad any influence I would help General Hastings or any other Pennsylvanian to get the job. I would like to, see the position held by a State man." Mr. Elkins assured the reporter there were no new developments in the local cable road fight On the subject of State politics General Hastings fought shy, and declared he had nothing to say and did not want to be' quoted. He would make no guess as to the Itepublican majority. Yesterday afternoon Senator ,Delamater and General Hastings took a drive around the city with Chief Brown. THE DISTRICTS ALL EIGHT. Rcsd and Ills Friends Will Find Tough Nnts to Crack in Ohio, Mr. Al. Carlisle arrived in the city last night from Ohio, and as usual ia-well posted on the political situation oi that State. Mr. Carlisle is Democratic to the core and -can al ways be depended upon to give ont some solid Democratic doctrine. In answer to a question regarding the alleged efforts of Speaker Beed and his cohorts to have the Ohio Congressional elections held in the old districts, he said: "There's no possibility of snch a thing occurring. The law is all right and there are no technical defects. The district lines claimed by Beed to be illegal were never changed Irom the districting made by the Republicans. The township referred to is a part of Cincinnati and was taken into the city in 1869. The other portion of the town ship is included in another district The Governor looked into the matter and found it all right and there will be no call for the Legislature to reconvene and make any changes. "Mr. Beed and his followers will find a different class of Democrats to deal with than those he run across in Maine. The Democrats in Ohio know just as mnch as Beed, and he will run agaiust a very great obstach when he attempts to beat them. The Democracy of Ohio is unpurchaseable, and are not to be bought like sheep, as they were in Beed's district "Ohio Democrats were never better or ganired than at present They have men in the field who are prepared to talk on na tional issues, and that is what the people want Some of their best men are on the ticket, and they are sure to be elected. You may depend upon it that very district that according to the last election showed a Dem ocratic majority will send a Democrat to Congress." THE C0BNEE LOAFING HABIT. What Some Visitors Tblnk of Its Develop ment in P.ttsbnrff. A visitor at one of the hotels yesterday who had been taking a look around the city said the opening of the parks and the Car negie Art Gallery and Library when these come should have at least one good effect here. It would attract some of the loafers off the street corners. Another guest of the hotel, a drummer from New York, spoke up and added: "There is not a city east of the Alleghenies, or for that matter west, of any pretensions, where the same aimless gathering on the corners and sitting on the steps of offices and business houses is seen as in Pittsburg on Sundays. Nowhere else would it be toler ated. Perhaps the people who indulge in this idle way of passing time may be ex cused on the ground that Pittsburg hereto fore has had so few attractions." "It is all right to talk about excusing the loafing on the street corners," said a third hearer, "but it is sickening to watch the decoration' of the adjacent pavement with tobacco juice and to listen to the remarks of some ot these crowds. Police are quick enough on week days to make people move on; but Sunday everything goes." A TIGHT MONEY MABKET. Dnslness Men Paylnc ns TJIsh ns SO Per Cent on Cnll Loans. L. F. Humphrey, a Boston wool buyer, was registered at the Monongahela House yesterday. He finds that the trade has im proved a little in the past two weeks, owing probably to the passage of the tariff bill by the Senate. In a measure it has restored confidence, and the manufacturers of woolen goods are beginning to branch out again. What is hampering the wool 'market now, and other industries also, is the scarcitv of money. The money market is very tight, and Mr. Humphrey can't account for it. Several days ago men were paying at the rateol 50 per cent, for year on call loans to tide them over for few days. This fact has made business men very cautious. He doesn't believe that one man in 10,000 could pay his debts in cash to-day if suddenly called on. It would first be necessary to sell their products. These facts do not indicate that a crash is imminent, but it requires the exercise of some patience on the part of creditors. Secretary Windom is doing all he can to relieve the scarcity. BEPUBLICANS FOB PATTIS0N. Colonel Streator Thinks Andy Stewart Will be Elected to Congress. Colonel J. B. B. Streator, of Washington, went East last evening. He says Colonel Andy Stewart as well as his opponent, Mr. Craig, has been working in Washington county, but'he thinks that Stewart will be elected. Pattison will get a number of Be publican votes, bnt he is in doubt about the general result in the State. A MUM DETECTIVE. William Plnkerton Sots tho New Tork Cen tral Strike is Ended. William Pinkerton, one of the members of the Chicago Detective Agency, was a passenger on the limited going west last evening. He had charge of his men that were employed by the New York Central road to fight the strikers. He states that the strike is a thing of the past, and then I T3&7ZSZM - 'TOTSBTJBGr 5DISPAT0H.T defenVthe action of his he proceeded to trnards. Mr. Pinkerton is not a particularly at tractive citizen, and like all detectives is very reticent. He added that he had been all over the East, and things were very qniet .

It is estimated that not less than 1,000 delegates will be present Every county in tbe State will be represented, and the meet ing promises to show in no uncertain way tbe enthusiasm ot the younger element in the party for the ticket. There are about 500 clubs in the State,with a membership of 75,000 voters. Philadelphia will send 369 delegates to represent its 37 Democratic clubs. A CLEVER IRISHMAN. How I.nrry O'Leary Entertains His Gnests in tbe Yellowstone Park He Resales III. Guest With Good Food nnd Witty Anecdotes A Notable Rnistcr. Larry O'Leary is a good-natured Irish man who runs an eating station in the Yel lowstone Park for the monopoly that con trols the hotel and transportation privi leges. His headquarters are at Trout Bun, at the foot of St, Mary's Mountain, and his little canvass tents in the valley are a most welcome sight to the weary, dusty Pittshurger after the long, rough ride across the steep and hilly country. As the stages round the enrve at the top of the hill, Larry and his faithful spouse can always be seen standing with arms akimbo in the door of the tent, and in musical tones bidding everyone a hearty welcome. "And how is the Madam? Oh, I beg pardon, Miss, I mean," and tbe Governor, and the Colonel or Professor, as his fancy may address itself to the strangers before him, is his customary salutation, and then he begins to amuse his guests with short stories and a variety of witty remarks. Even the old maid who has grumbled about flip mnsnnifnM nnd rilist nil nlnnn thp rnnrl suddenly wreathes her face with a smile, I and the dapper JNew xoricer is surprised to find such a clever Irishman living in an open wilderness. Larry.'sets a good table and never gives his guests time to think of the disagreeable features of tbe ride, for they' are many on a hot summer day. and every man who visits Larry's pleasant quarters comes away feel ing that tbe monopoly has an eye to busi ness as long as they keep him there. There is something original and refresr'ng about his wit, and gnests never refuse to register their names on his book. During the long winter months when the park is snowed up and the days are dark and cold, Larry spends his time studying the chirographv and trying to recall how each one looked and acted. His regis try is full of the names of prominent Ameri cans and foreigners who have dined with him, and he prizes it very highly; indeed, dotes on it All who visit the p,ark and see Larry come away with fond recollections of the pleasing and bright young Irishman. A WEEK'S WOBK IK A BAY. The Lot of a MloUier Is Not Wunt it I Cracked Dp to Be. Eev. J. W. Biddle, of the Southside, put in a busy day yesterday. Aside from at tending to his regular church services, which included a morning and evening service with the B'ble class under his charge in the afternoon, he had two weddings and made an engagement for a third to take place to day. At 9 o'clock he married "Walter Addison and Miss Sadie Strosnider, of Knoxville, and in the afternoon he performed the cere mony which made Charles Bossiter and Miss Lizzie Barclay mac andwife. "WITH A "BAB OF IRON, An Allegheny Citizen Fined for Smoking on a Street Car. The two men arrested for selling electric belts and holding a street entertainment in Allegheny were fined $50 by Mayor Wymau yesterday. Their colored attendant, a banjo player, was discharged. T. Hazel, of Allegheny, was given 30 days for smoking on a street car and for bitting a man with a bar of iron for sympathizing with the conductor. George Parks also got 30 days for gazing into the window of Mr. McCrory's house, at 43 "West Diamond street, after midnight He was snpposed to be a bnrglar. A BLOW FOB HIS DUST.

Mr. Harvey denied tbe debt and refused to pay the money, whereupon Moore is alleged to have pulled a handy-billy, and struck Harvey a blow with it that split open his lip. Moore was arrested and held for a hearing. A PLEA FOB HELP. Tbe Sonthslde Hospital Management Badly In Kced of Donations. The Southside Hospital is in need of money badly. A heavy rnn has been made on the institution lately, and the fnnds raised by tbe Citizens' Committee some time ago are being rapidly exhausted.

SDMMEE TBIPS END IN SICKNESS. The Disease Slowly Eetreating Street Improvements. Before WELLS RESPONSIBLE F0K MUCH OF IT There is some consternation in Phila delphia over tho prominence of typhoid feverj but though the disease is much more prevalent in this city than in that of Broth erly Love, it wonld appear that our people are too busy to notice its ravages. Deaths from typhoid fever in Philadelphia for the week ending last Saturday were 25 and for the week preceding that 14, and a promi nent physician asks the press to ascertain the localities most affected and the canse. Complaint is made that Philadelphia shows up badly In comparison with .New York, the former averaging ten deaths a week from typhoid fever while New York has but four. It is explained that in New York, Baltimore and some other cities diseases are accurately classified, while in Philadelphia typhoid fever cases are lumped with several other kindred diseases. A Philadelphia health official makes the explanation of the doubling of Philadel phia's rate tbat the increase is usual at this time of year, and he thinks it is partly due to people bringing the disease with them from summer resorts and dying in 'Philadelphia. He thinks fishing excur sions, foul pumps in the country, moon light boating, sitting ont in the damp air of evening, change of diet and many other causes difficult to specify are responsible. He regards tbe city water as healthy. Dr. Henry Leffmann agreed in the main with Health Officer Turner, but added that the percentage had fallen off since the Nine teenth, Twentieth and Thirty-first wards of Philadelphia had been supplied with water from the Schuylkill instead of from the Delaware. SOME UNPLEASANT DATA. Some very interesting, but very un pleasant information, was gotten on the sub ject from Messrs. McEwen and McKee, of the Health Bureau, of this city. The nnpleasant feature is that though this is usually regarded as a very healthy city, it appears that it ordinarily averages a much higber typhoid rate than Philadelphia. For the week ending the 6th inst. there were 11 deaths, which is over 300 per cent greater' than the Philadelphia rate and something like 2,000 per cent greater than the New York rate. There have been reported to the Pittsburg Health Bureau as high as 44 new cases of typhoid in seven days, one doctor reporting nine cases in one day. There has been a diminution of the disease this week, only five cases having been reported since Tuesday. What appear to be, beyond a doubt, the causes of the disease were pointed out by Mr. McEwen. Fewer cases develop in the lower part of the Old City, and in the crowded sections of the lower Southside wards, than in the elegantly upholstered East End, and the reasons appear to be tbat tbe sewerage and natural drainage of the lower ward, where putridity is popularly supposed to exist in a chronic state, is much better than in the East End, nnd then, too, in some parts of the latter considerable well water is drank. The Eighteenth ward, much of which is hilly and thickly settled, furnishes a large proportion of the cases, and in mis wara mucn wen water is used. The immunity of the dirty part of the city, to which Mr. McEwen refers, was no ticed 40 years ago. Old residents remember that in 1854 there was very little cholera abont the point, while what was the East End then was sconrged severely. WEJjJj WATER AND DISEASE. While it does not follow that crowding people together and arcnmulations ot offal are healthy, it does argue that good drain age and the drinking ot river water are healthier than a suburban paradise lacking in sewers, and where a considerable por tion of the people persist in drinking well water. Not long since the health officials' attention was directed to the un healthiness of a section on Conrad street. They fonnd that the people drank water from an old well tbat had once been noted for the purity of its water. They further fonnd that a considerable portion of the waste water from two streets percolated into the well, so that the people were in effect mixing sewage with their drink. The Health Bureau has no power to remedy the nuisance, but it has asked the Street De partment to take cognizance and have the well filled up. It is encouraging to know that the general health ot the city wan better last August than in August, 1889. In that month there were 487 cases of typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever and scarlatina, while there were but 251 cases of these diseases in Au gust of this year. Lawrenceville is one of the sections of the city that suffers frequently from typhoid lever, and if has become unpleasantly fre quent recently. The streets in that district are reported in bad condition by Superin tendent Baker, of the Bureau of Health, and he has asked John L. Hunter, ot the Bureau of Highways and Sewers, to have the green scum that coats the mud and stagnant water washed away and tbe streets thoroughly cleaned. Mr. Hunter promised to attend to the matter, but he thinks the case has been overstated and that the streets are not so filthy as reported. He says most of the streets complained of have been cleaned and thinks the emerald scum com plained of can only be existing on Thirty second street where the water has been backed up by the choking of sewers, which he says will be cleaned in a day or two. A TYPHOID FEVER PREVENTIVE. The boiling of water before consumption is suggested as a preventive of typhoid fever, but it is stated that much of the ice subsequently put into it is impure. Arti ficial ice, made either from known pnre or distilled water, is suggested as the thing to be desired. In this connection it is pertinent to state that there is more typhoid in country towns than in tbe cities. The villages have no sewers, and wells and cesspools are almost invariably close together, and the former, being the deepest, get the drainage of tbe latter. On farms, also, it is quite common to find a barn and stabling erected on a high piece of ground and the well sunk on a lower level, so as to catch the drainage. A little study of dip of the rock strata in Western Pennsylvania would obviate this danger. Experienced oil-well drillers make this a study, and so locate wells that the salt water arising will not get into springs or wells in the vicinity. Peo ple whose gorge rises at the idea of eating clean oleomargarine, continue, vear after year, to drink water from wells contaminated with drainage from stables and cesspools, wells so poisonous that in a short time the use of their water would ruin the digestion of a healthy hog. ' SWORE AT TEE OFFICERS. Kevrsles and Shiners Mast Nnt Stnjr on Fifth Avenne Lnter Titan 10:30. The first arrest since the recent order com pelling newsboys and bootblacks o vacate the principal down-town streets at 10:30 o'clock Snnday morning was made yester day by Officer Crossan. David Tobenfiegen persisted .in annoying pedestrians and the officer told him to clear out several times. He refused to do It and swore at the officer for interfering with him. In less time than it would take him to put on a'five-cerit shine, the gamin was behind the bars. He will probably observe tbe law JLin the future, 716.1390? OF FINE PHYSIQUE. REPORTS ON THE CONDITION OF THE STATE TROOPS' AT MT. GRETNA. Cases of Insubordination, Inebriety nnd Bolsterons Conduct Were Conspicnonslr Absent-Military Etiquette WaaNotEq. forced as It &bonld nave Been. Captain Clinton B. Sears, of the "D". S. A., has furnished reports on the bearing of the 'men and on the encampment in general of the State troops as witnessed by him at Mt Gretna. Tbe fine physical character and condition of the men and the good sanitary condition of the camp, as well as the absence of malingering, was shown by the average daily sick report of only 35 3-5, or less than one-half of 1 per cent among a force of over 8,000 men. No cases of inebriety, Insub ordination or boisterous conduct were ob served, xne enlisted men were louna to op as a body much superior to their company officers, a large majority of whom appeared to be carelesss in their dress, slouching in their carriage, slow and indecisive in giving their orders, and though generally zealous, were often grossly ignorant of their duties. Military etiquette was found to be, as a rule, deplorably absent, eicept "among tne field, brigade and division commissioned and non-commiBsionp.d officers who were found to be neat in dress, alert and military in their bearing, and punc tilious in their manner.' Unbuttoned blouses, slovenly general bearing, failure to salute in passing or addressing officers, omission of the proper grade title, and a general slackness of military bearing and a lack of esprit de corps characterized the privates and non-commissioned officers. Knowledge of the duties of guard mount ing was generally lacking on the part of both officers and men. Too mnch time was directed to inspections, reviews, and maneuvers purely ceremonious and not nearly enough to battalion drills and especially skirmishing movements. Bat talion drills observed were not even fairly executed. Not one of the six colonels knew his tactics even decently, and none were properly supported by their field officers. It was recommended that an experienced officer of the army be detailed for duty in the State as inspector of small arms practice. A CONDUCTOR IK JAU. Chnrged Wltb the Lnrceny of Two Wntcbci nnd Some Jlonev. William McElwee, a railroad conductor, was committed to jail yesterday by Magis trate McKenna on a charge of larceny. The information was made by Henry Cox, who keeps a boarding house at the corner of Twenty-sixth street and Spring alley, and who alleges that the defendant purloined two watches and a snm ot money from him. There will be a hearing on Tues day. THE ENGINEER INJURED. A Smash Up of Coke Cars on Moorhead tt McLean's Stdlncr.

One of the most attractive features of the Exposition, which the visitors thus far have not had tbe opportunity of witnessing in operation, namely, the oil well, will be started to-day. The derrick and rigging have been placed in position, and every thing is in readiness to show Pittsburgers something which nearly every inhabitant has alked of more or less, but it would be safe to wager that nine-tenths of the popu lation have never actually witnessed. An other place of interest will be tbe fountain, which has been erected outside of the build ing, facing the river. The fountain is shaped like a cross and on each end six streams will sprout forth from water lilies at the four corners of the basin. The topic on which gentlemen visitors will vote to-day will be the much mooted question of ballot reform. ImpuritiEB in the Liver.
