Thomn pon, president of the Iilakely board ot health, reported thnt a good deal of trouble Is caused then by the condi tion of the water In the wells, and he asked some of the other representatives present to suggest a way to remedy tho evil. He was tola to get a sample of the water from the wells and have It analyzed. If It Is found to be bad, then steps should be taken to have the wells tilled ur. THIJ OTHER REPORTS. Attorney David W. Brown made the report for Dalton. He said he was glad In one way that there was not much of a report to be presented. The board Is about to reorganize, and he then hopes to see It enter upon an active career. Dr. J. R. Murphy re ported progress for tho borough ot Dunmore. Dr. J. K. Bentley, piesldent of tho association, presented the report for the Scranton board. He said the board was conservative but very much In earnest and thought that In conse quence of Its work the sanitary condi tion of the city Is constantly Improving. Its water supply was never as good ns It Is nt present. He described .the manner In which the Scranton board 6t health proceeds to abate certain classes of nuisance that had been brought to the attention ot the meet ing by the previous reports.

Paine, of tho Scranton board, presented the report ot the dele gates to the state association at Har rlsburg. Lackawanna county had only three representatives there, Dr. AV. E.

One member of tho Scranton board. George S. Horn, was placed upon the legislative committee of tho associa tion. ELECTION OP OFFICERS. AVhen the election of ofllcers was reached on the order df business, Dr. J. K. Bentley, who hns been president ot the association since its organization t,wo years ago, said that he thought for the good of tho association It would be better to have a new president In ducted Into'offlce each year. To estab lish precedent, he thought the associa tion should allow him to retire. It wan decided to accede to the doctor's wishes and tho following officers were then elected: President, Dr. P. L-.

Dr. Bentley thanked tho members of the association for tho courtesies ex tended to him during the peilod hu had been In the choir and then Introduced the new president, Dr. Vnn Sickle. In accepting the duties of his olllce Dr. Van Sickle made a very neat and ap propriate address, nnd closed by thank ing" the members for tho honor con ferred. Professor George Howell was to have spoke on "Eyesight," but on account of the teachers' institute, was unable to be present, and sent his regrets. Leonard D. Hosford, of New York city, was to have talked on "Sanitary Plumbing," but was unable to come to Scranton, and named Thomas Thomp son, of the International CorrcsDond ence School of this city, as his substi tute. Mr. Thompson's talk was of a very practical natuie and proved that he Is a thorough master of the many phases of his Intricate subject. Tho talk of Mr. Thompson was after wards discussed by Mr. Parsons and Dr. Bentley asked several questions bearing on the subject matter of Mr. Thompson's dissertation. On motion of Dr. Paine h, vote of thanks was ten dered to Mr. Thompson. The lepoit of the treasurer, M. C. Judge, of Taylor, showed that during the year he had paid out J.,50S and re ceived JIO. EVENING SESSION. The evening session opened with n paper by ex-Representative C. 1. O'Malley on the subject. "Are the Prcr ent Sanitary Las Sulilcient." The subject matter showed cateful and competl'r.K research and cited that while some new nnd Improved sani tary laws inlcht be needed, the pres ent ones were adequate In certain di rections If enforced. Mr. O'Malley's effort was hlghly"nppreclated. "Antl-toxlne nnd Its Relation to Work of Boards of Health" "wns the subject of a paper by Dr. P. C. Manley, of Jer myn, who did not approve of the new remedy for diphtheria because "In a mild case It Is superlluous and In a malignant case powerless." A con trary view was held by Drs. Paine, Murphy and Van Sickle, but Dr. Bent ley disagreed with the others In his opinion that the remedy might be used with success on children over 10 years of uge If usvd In the first stnges of disease. The discussion was of a medico nature and but little atten tion was paid to the question of wheth er antl-toxlne should be furnished by boards of health to their physicians for charity use. Dr. J. AV. Houser, of Taylor, was not present to discuss the "Apathy of Physicians Towards Boards of Health" and the subject was skipped.

BOY'S PERILOUS RIDE. On n Wagon Shaft Behind u ltiinnwny Horse. A young son 12 years of ago of Pat rick Manley, of Bel'.evu. took a tide yestuidny which will live Jn his memory for many a day. He only rode four blocks, but his position, the grades down which his hot so dashed, and the Imminent danger while It lasted, gave plenty of cause for excitement. He was unloading some lumber on Stone avenue, when the horse dashed suddenly away, turned off on to Fig street, down to Plttston avenue, with the boy, who was thrown there with the llrst start, clinging to the foot board and bitting on the slngle-treo of the shaft. The horse was stonned on Plttston avenue nnd tho plucky boy gained the seat and taking tho reins drove off. -H- 4 -M-H--- Tho amatour base ball club re- -f celvlng beforo June 20 tho greatest T number of votes, as explained on T tho sporting page, will receive 10 X uniforms, free.
