Some weeks ago a girlof about eleven years, whose home was in Franklin twp. near I«le. who had been working or vis iting in New Castle was brought by a huckster as far as West Liberty, where she stayed over ninbt. Next morning she started to walk home, but was tak en sick on the way. and was found ly ing along the road and taken home. She developed what is called black diptheria. and died soon after. Her name was Hutton and she was the daughter of a coal miner of that name. Four more of the children of the family went dowu with the name disease, one of whom has since died. The case was reported to the Connty Commissioners, and Mr. McCandless, whose home is not far away, investigat ed it, and secured a Miss Scolt, a train ed nurse, to go to the house and assist the parents who were worn out by their troubles, anil also instructed the store keeper at Isle to furnish all the supplies needed. Council Proceedings. A special meeting of the Town Council was held last night at which the report of the committee consisting of Edward Lantz. J. B. McJunkin and Robert Fowser, who visited the garbage furnaces at New Castle and Meadville. was received. The Council then wrestled with the present garbage crisis, which involves tbe burning of the mass of stuff left by Contractor Robinson, who has skipped his job, proceedings on Robin son's bond, making or procuring a usable road to the present location or else buying a new location, and erect ing a " 15-ton odorless furnace which will do the work, and which will cost from SSOOO to |BOOO. The town owns a 40foot street through the Roessing property almost to the present furnace location, but to an ob server it looks as though the Butler Ice Co. which owns the ground between the furnace and Negley Ave. was trying to sell this lot for s:'>soo.
