The board of health yesterday began
Its nnmtal Inspection ot the city's
water supply. A visit was made to tho
now stoiage teservolr ot tho Sciantnn
Gas and Water company near Goulds
boro. This Is the reservoir huriledly
built on tho hendu uteri ot the behigh
river nearly two years tigo when It
set-med probable that AVllkes-Baire
capital would niitko a similar move.
The Scranton company not only built
the n set voir and u pump station but
purchued hundreds ot acres of water
shed In that loralltj.
Yesterday's Inspection was mnde by
Dr. AV. A Paine, president; Dr. .1 K.
Fentlej, George S. Horn nnd M. .1.
Kelly, of tho board of health; Dr. W.
F. Allen, health olllcei'; Major ,T. B.

Gas and Water company; P. J. Calpln,
of common council's sanltarj commit
tee, and Superintendent Itobert Reeves,
of the Scranton Gas and Water com
ptnj'. The partv left Scranton on tho

capacity or nnsnnv'oiR.
The reservoir has a suiface area of 70
ncrc3 and a capacity of 00,000,000 gal
lons. The woik of clearing the ground
nnd building the dam and pump house
and Installing the machinery was be
gun O-t. J, 1S0O. The pipe line to
Routing Riook nearlj two miles awaj",
was laid and tho ieservo!r ready for
ue enrlv the following- December. The
less than two months consumed stands
as a iccord lor that kind ot woik in
this section ot th" state.
'"h source of supply Is the two foik
ed I.ehig'li headwater. Hack fork Is
fed by many opting inns. Roth forks
ate to the left ot tho Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Wcstetn Hacks as one tides
awaj fiom Scranton, one branch par
alleling tho Hacks from a point oppo
site Gouldsboio dspot nnd the other
flowing fiom a souico at light angles
to the Hack. They join almost at tho
lceivolr.
Up to tho present time no use has
been made of the water It Is stoied
for emergency pui poses that may never
nilse but It Is there just the same
and an evidence of the company's policy-
to have on tap millions of gallons
of water beyond even an cxtraoidl
nary demand.
In the pump house Is a compound
Worthlngton pump, boilers and other
machinery, a plant with a capacity to
pump 10,000,000 gallons of water eveiy
21 hours In Heating Brook which leads
to tho big sloiage leservolr at Um
hursl. The water will be pumped S.C00
foot, or nearly two miles, through a
l'1-Inch pipe line up a C0-foot raise Into
Roaring Brook. The pipe lino runs
along- the left bid" of tho Delaware,
backawanna and Western tracks, go
ing Scrantonward. passing under the
tracks at Its broo'4 terminus. It rests
on planking over a patt of the touta
which is eiy swampy.
ON SHORT NOTICE.
To put th'j pump nnd other mach
inery In shppe for service, only a half
day's attention would bo rcqiilied.
Tho company owns practically all th"
land between the reseivolr and tho
"divide" which separates the Ptupack
and I.Phlrjh watersheds. Another "div
ide," to which the pipe line tuns, sep
arates the Lohigh fiom the Roaring
Brook territory-. In this broad stretch
of tlmber-coveied eountrj- the company
may In tho futuie build other stmago
teservolts.
If thej' are needed they can be placed
there with a total storage capacity of
2,000,000,000 gallons. In that event the
water would be piped to the piesent
Lehigh pipe line. The fall would be
suPldent to force tho water over tho
Boating Brook divide and Into that
stream without tho aid ot pumps.
The city ofllclals were pleased with
what they saw j'esterday. No water
was catried away for analysis as there
Is no probability of Us Immediate use.
It will be subjected to chemical test
befoie being used, nlthough its souice
in the mountains, the isolation of tho
reseivolr and the six-mile flow thiough
Roaring Brook before It teaches Klnt
hurst all goes to show that the water
Is pure.
Next Monday the board will Inspect
the Providence Gas and Water com
pany system.

DIED FROMTETANHS.
Tcrrlblo buttering ol Adam Duchoskl,
ot Prlceburg, Preceding Death.
Xnluro ol tho Dlscnsc.
Adam Iluchoskl, of Prlceburg, died
at 8 o'clock last evening at the Lacka
wanna hospltnl, and the end was a
relief to him. Ho was attacked with
tetanus on Sunday, bock Jaw Is tho
first stage of this disease, and from
that may lie inferred what it Is like.
Duchoskl was 21 j'cars old, resided
on Lincoln sticct in Prlceburg, and was
employed In Johnson's mine of that lo
cality. Tluee weeks ago he grasped a
live electric wlie containing 500 volts
with his tight hand, and was- burned
to the bone. Ho was biought to tho
hospltnl and tetanus pot In ns stated.
As soon as the disease manifested
Ittelf Sunday Douhoskl's Javvs shut
tightly. Ho could move his lips, but
his teeth weie giound togethei. He
could not swallow anything, not even
water. The musclts ot his body be
gun to hauten and he was diawn up In
a cu've his weight testing on his heels
and the back aC his head. 'The least
bn'alh of air, or quiver of excitement,
threw him Into spasms. While In these
bends of persphatlon stood out on his
llesh as largo as peas, and his mus
cles shook llko a leaf. These spasms
exhausted hl.i vitality and at last one
of them came and stopped tho action o."
his heart.
Tetanus Is a very taic disease, and a
veiy fatal one. Eight persons out of
eveij' ten who take It die.
It is more common In hot than In
temperate climates and In the colored
than In the Caucasian lace. It is tie
ciuent In some localities and hns pre
vailed extenslvelj" in epidemic form
among new boin childien. It Is moie
c inmon after punctuied and contused
than after Incised wounds and fie
qunntlj- follows thore of the hands or
feet. The disease usually appeals
within two weeks of tho Injurj-.
After an Injury the disease sets In
usually within ten days. The person
affected complains at tlist of slight

tightness In th" jaws, or difficulty In
mastication. The eyebrows mny be
