|Order Dated January 3%, 1907, Lays
| TPewn Rule That Reservoirs of War-
erly Water Supply Shall Not Be Us-
od to Supply lee.
Waverly—After a considerable de-
Iay in the matter the state health com-
| missioner, Eugene i]. Porter has laid
‘down a rule that will, after this win-
iter, prevent the cutting of ice on the
{reservoirs of the Waverly public water
| supply
A number of sanitary rules that
shail be observed with relation to
the water supply are laid down and
section 15. provides as follows “The
resevvoirs of Waverly public water
isupply shall not be used to supply
lice for public or private purposes
and teams, cattle or men shall nol
enter upon the pond in winter for the
purpose of cutting or removing and
storing ice”
The rules are dated January 28, 1507
and are signed by Eugene H. Porter,
State Commissioner of Health
The penalty for each violation
the rule Is §186
The rules laid down are In accord-
ance with the authority conferred
upon the state health commissioner
by chapter 881 of tho jaws of 1833
amended by chapter G82 of the laws
of 1906.
The order must be published at least
once a week for six consecutive weeks
in Tioga before it becomes
operative. This will give an oppor-
tunity harvest the ice crop on the
reservolr this winter, but if the order
stands it will prohibit the cutting of
ice after the present season has pass-
ed
When an original copy of the order
was shown to parties interested in
the cutting of ice on the reservoir,
considerable surprise was expressed
at it, and it was stated that the mat-
ter would be fought out in the courts
The order is the culmination of
an investigation the manaer
in which the ice is harvested on the
reservoir in which the local board of
health took part.

POLICE CAPTURE

Justice Sends Two to the Stone Pile,
and Puls the Pedigree of Nine
Tourists on Hi sBooks,
Waverly—The police justice did a
brisk business this morning. Last
evening there were nine knights of
the road that applied to the police for
shelter and they were all placed in
the tramp room of the town hall which
is provided for the benefit of that part
of the travelling public that is too
impecunious to get a room at a more
popular Losteiry. They were brought
up, thelr pedigrees written down as
they gave themn and they were then
allowed to depart.
The next to appear was Jud Peters,
whose domicile Is somewhere In East
Waverly. Jud had been up before the
police quite often, but it seems has
always escaped a trip to the stone
pile until this time. He was up last
Thursday, charged with fighting, and
was let off with a flue of $3. Last
night he again imbibed, and was cap-
tured by special officer DeWitt while
making an unsuccessful effort to
fight with a large part of East Wav-
He will fracture rock at the

time getting drunk and raising all
kinds of Cain last night he falled
to pay sufficient attention to the stat-
utes of the state of New York, and

forty days, which time he will spend
in the county seat, and engage in the

night only made the headlight shine

was muffied at times, like the roar
of an angry animal. the lightnings
fiashed at frequent intervals and were
blinding in effect
It was Van Netta’'s “run,” and he
left a call for 1:45 and went to his
room about nine o'clock, thinking to
get as much sleep as the few hours
would allow. After tossing restlessly
for some time he fell Into a dis
turbed slumber; how long he slept
was uncertain, he woke with a start
and feelings terribly agitated. He
had had a vision of an accident, In
which his youngest brother was hor
ribly mangled; he tried to dispel the
fear, but it was useless; he got up
and dressed, looked at his watch and
saw it was 12:30, too near his call
to go back to bed, and started for his
train; reaching the depot, he told his
strange dream, or vision, and sald
“If It was not endangering another's
lifé 1 would not go out of my run.”
The train from Chicago was pull
ing into the station and'there was the
usual turmoll and confusion in chang-
ing cars; the train on the Northern
Cross was standing on the malin track,
ready to pull out on schedule time;
Van Netta was just coming from the
opposite side of his engine, oiler In
hand, when Conductor Goodrich
called “All aboard” and gave the sig
nal with his lantern to leave. As Joe
stepped into the cab, some one
touched him on the shoulder and
greeted him with a familar voice. He
turned around and confronted his
youngest brother, who had just arrived
from the east. He was speechless,
and It was a minute before he was
convinced It was not an apparition;
hardly knowing what he was doing,
was In motion; It was ten miles to
the first stop, and quietly
to his brother he sald

The house in which John Stark once
lived is still standing in Manchester
It was erected in 1747, and occuples a
strip of land which was given by the
governor of Massachusetts to the
soldiers who fought In the French and
Indian wars. It is situated in a sunny,
quiet recess formed by the interlaced
branches of a lofty and majestic elm,
directly at the east end of Amoskeag
bridge, and is known. as the "Palge”
house, because a family by the name
of Palge occupied it during the last
ball century
The house is the oldest landmark of
the days of pioneering in Manchester,
and was built by Alexander McMur-
phy, who settled near Amoskeag falls,

The house faces the south, and its
