West Side Wheelmea Excited About the
Way Tbeir Scraaton Brethrea Acted
Taeiday Nil. During Parade.
The West Side Wheelmen met last
right In regular session. The talk of the
night was on what the boys call "the
come-together" of themselves and the
members of the Seranton Hlcycle club
who Attempted to steal the rljrht of line
In Tuesday night's parade. The West
Bide club was reeularly given the lead
by order of the grand marshal. All
Wnt well until the parade was coming
down Washington avenue. When Vine
street was reached the Seranton riders
pushed ahead and turned to the right,
going down Vine and up Wyoming ave
nue, thus getting first place when the
parade reached that point. But the
West Side buys objected. A scrimmage
ensued In which Ben Evans, of the
West Side Wheelmen, waa struck In the
face by a Seranton man.
Six new members were received Into
the wheelmen last night. A house Jani
tor was engaged.

THEY ARE WORKING
FOR PURE MILK
Conference of Members of tbt Board af
Health and Milk Dealers.
COWS ARE TO BE INSPECTED
Tnberculine Is the Substance Used to
Determine the Iresece f Tuber
cnlosisReport of the Committee
That Was Appointed to Investigate
the Condition of the City's Water
Supply Various Iteservoirs Visited
A special meeting of the board of
health was held yesterday afternoon,
at which were present the large milk
dealers of the city for the purpose of
discussing the tuberculosis question
and agreeing upon some action to guard
against the contamination of the milk
supply.
Veterinary research has discovered
recently that cattle can be infected with
tuberculosis and appear In fine physical
condition; that a cow may possess all
the outward show of a creature In the
best of health and at the same time be
"rotten at the core."
That is not it. Tuberculosis does Its
work very slowly and it may take four
or five years for it, after attacking a
healthy cow, to develop to the extent
'.hat the external appearance of the ani
mal will denote that she is unsound. It
has been proven that the germs are In
fectious, so that a drove of cattle might
take It from one.
Tuberculosis affects the human as
well as the animal, and for this reason
It is that the cows that supply milk to
citlesi should be examined to discover
whether or not any taint of the disease
exists. The milk of a diseased cow Is
necessarily impregnated with tubercu
losis germs, and the use of such milk Is
dangerous to the health of the com
munity. MILK DEALERS PRESENT.
M. J. Kelly, president of the board,
called the meeting to order. The other
members present were Dr. W. E. Allen,
Dr. W. A. Paine, H. J. Zlegler and Sec
rotary Briggs. The milk dealers in at
tendance were: George Carpenter, of
the Seranton Dairy company; C. H.
Shedd. of Spruce street; William Con
rad, of Green Ridge: Stoll 8eward,
of the North End Milk company; T. W.
Hanklna, of Cedar avenue, and George
Schrelber, of Plttston avenue.
Food Inspector Thomas said that 4,
000 cows arc necessary to keep up tho
supply of mil!: which comes Into Seran
ton from the farms every morning. Sta
tistics have shown that two per cent,
of the cows cf the state are affected
with tuberculosis, and at that ratio SO
cf the oows suppiylhg the Imported milk
to Seranton ara diseased.
The members of the board and the
milk rteslc.-s talked the matter over and
decided that a resjlutlon be passed di
recting the owners of cows on mlil;
farms to have them inspected and thoso
put to death which are affected with
the disease. It was estimated that the
cost of examination would not be more
than tl a head.
USE OP TUBERCULINS.
A substance known as tubercullne In
jected Into a cow will produce certain
symptoms which during thirty-six
hours will tell whether or not the dis
ease exists. The resolution of the board
will require the farmer to show the
milk dealer a clean bill of health from
a veterinary physician for the cows
which supply the milk.
A report was read, signed by Celonel
E. H. "Ripple and Dr. Paine with refer
ence to the recsnt inspection of the
water supply. The report states that
the visit to the dams and springs or
the Providence Water company showed
that a very pure quality of water Is
furnished to Its patrons. It supplies
the First, Second, Third and Thirteenth
wards and a portion ' of the Twenty
first ward. The capacity of all the
dams is 843,000,000 gallons of water.
A visit to the dams and springs of the
Seranton Gas and Water company was
equally satisfactory as to the freedom
of the water from organic matter.
Along the streams of both companies
the slaughter houses that were even
remotely seen are no longer visible and
the obnoxious tannery at Elmhurst Is
a thtaa- of the nast. The No. 7 high ser-
! vice dam above Dunmore will be
cleaned out before long.
AMOUNT OF WATER USED.
The patrons of the Gas and Water
company use dally from twelve to
' fourteen million gallons of water. The
dams have a capacity of 3,2u0,000,000
gallons and within six months a reser
voir will be built at the Burnt Bridge
in Roaring Brook township which will
have a volume of 1,400,000,000 gallons.
This will be one of the largest bodies
of its kind In the state.
Seranton is blessed with a pure and
abundant supply of water. The Gas
and Water company has a volume on
hand to keep the city going for 300 days
wit'.iout rain.

Wall Street Review.
New York. July 17. The liquidations
which have been such a conspluuous
feature of the trading at the stock ex
change during the past few days, con
tinued during the early aesslons. It is
true that at the start the market waa
irregular In Its course and in some
cases there was more disposition to buy,
but the advances which took place were
soon lost and tho selling toward 11
o'clock was vigorously renewed. Re
ports of heavy gold ex porta the illness
of Cornelius Vanderbllt and the fears
of a third ticket In the presidential race
were all used with effect against the
market. As on yesterday there were
signs of demoralization and the sales
of holders whose margins had been ex
hausted formed an important part of
the transactions. Lake Shore tumbled
EVi to 1374, while the other prominent
Isbuos fell anywhere from to 3k per
cent. Nickel Plate necand preferred, a
Vanderbllt stock, brought 23 against Su
the last previously reported sale. About
'one o'clock there v.-as a let up In selling
from all quarters and the market be
gan to recover. Confidence slowly re
turned and In the last hour the market
exhibited greater strength than at any
other time for the day. The recovery
was the result of reports that the gold
shipments to Europe on Saturday will
fall below previous estimates, that the
sound money Democrats had given up
the idea of nominating1 a third ticket
and that the Morgan Bulmorit syndicate
stood ready to take bonds In sufficient
amounts to protect the treasury goid
reserve. Short sellers were the heaviest
buyers In the late trading and their
purchases led to a recoveryjof H to 5
per cent., the latter in Jersey Central.
Speculation closed firm In tone. Net
changes generally show gains of UV&
per cent. Total sales were 430,837
shares.
