AN IMPORTANT
PUBLIC MATTER
WHAT DOES THE BOROUGH
INTEND DOING?
IMPORTANT' DRAINAGE QUESTION
An Outbreak of Scarlot Fevor
Laid at tho Door of an Im
perfeot System What tho
Board of Health Says.
'T ie cortainly timo for
the citizens of this
borough to take some
determined Eland in
TOKard to the sanitary
condition of tho town
and msko provision
bv which some ffifn
euard may bo thrown about tho coodIo for
ino pre8rvation of health.
Thn Rtlmmnr Rnntnn U hnf n llffln nvnr a
wook old and vot have five cases of scarlet
fevor on hand and n record of ono caso
cancelled by the death of the victim.
several weeks ago the IIkrald and
P'ominent citizen of the town advocated
steps by which a local Board of Health
could bo established bo that tho borough
would hn in a nnmtlnn tn piimhaf with nnv
outbreak, but the Borough Council treated
the suggestion as a joke. Tho Chief Bur
eoss. however, volnntonrnd to rin nil1 In
his power to gur.rd against outbreaks, but
singio-nanaea ana without any backing
from Council he has boon and is ueolesa in
that particular.
Tho 6carlet fever cases on "White street
aro proof that tho health regulation, in
tho borough ordinances aro inadequate and
inoperative.
It is true that thero in . dlflnrnnnn nf
Olllnlon as to the c&usonf thin nuthrnnl;! thot
the drain oi the housos was blocked, and
that that contributed to the cauBe. But the
fact remains that time and time again com
plaints have been made to tho borough
authorities that polluted wator has boon
allowed to flow from the rear of houses on
East Llovd street to thn mittnr nf Whim
street and become blocked in front of the
housos where the casos of scarlet fever are
now locate'd. And in ndriltinn tn thnsn
complaints are the lacts that it was in these
same nouses that a Welsh and German
family fell victims to typhoid fevor, tho
claim being made at the timo that the dis
ease took its birth from the filthy flow into
the same gutter.
It is not our intention to misrepresent
any one, or to unjustly reflect upon any
property owner or citizen. What we
slato we mean for the public interests
aid health. One thing is certain, the
landlords who allow a drainage from
their housos to the gutters on the public
streots must stand ready for criticism.
When these drains aro condemned thoy
step forward ready to swear that nothing
l.flows through the drains but "wash wators
ana Kitchen drainings,"
Let us concede that these are thn onltr
drainage to which the cheap, home-made
seworage system gives service and then let
us see what tho Stato Board of lloalth
says: "It is true wo cannot always prevent a
certain quantity of household refuse from
falling upon and penetrating the soil, but
it is nevertheless a duty we owe to tho pub
lio health to reduce this, source of pollu
tion to a minimum. It is a great error to
suppose that infected matter is rendered in
npculous by dilution with wator. Tho
microbes of typhoid fever have been ob
served to Jive in Dracticallv tiurn wntnr fni-
thirty days, and three months in water con
taining one grain of organic matter por
quart of water. As to cholera bacilli, dirty
water Is a marvolous medium lor their pro
pagation and growth. It Is now acrnnd
that the soweraee matters of towns. Inlm!.
log eicrctal and household wastes, how
ever largpiy Glinted, cannot with safety bo
allowed to flow exceDt bv a svstem of
closed vessels or impermeable pipes. cfiV
tinet from the storm water drains."
1 his should be s fflclent to convi nnn nnv
ono that drains loading to the onen cutters
of the publlp streets are a menace to the
public health.
But. as the State Board of Health
the prevention or suppression of epidemics
cannot bo accomplished by preaching or by
teachinir, or bv the adminiitrAtinn nf
medicine (though all those may be effective
auxiliaries;, but by legal authority, and by
legal authority backed and sumxrted bv a
hearty co-opcrativo public sentimont
Thero are nrobabl v fnw noPH.lnna uplstncv In
connection with the administration of gov
ernment, when thero is a greater noceesllv
for the oxerclse of largo powers and fur
prompt and vigorous action than in tho
presence of an outbreak of a serious and
Virulent epidemic In the face of to grave
a publio dangor, no temporizing and no
half-Wav or half.hoarted mnAsurna ran tin
considered. Ineffective sanition is 09
sanitation. The gate half closed might as
well be wide open.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
EDWARD GIBBONS.
A FAMOUS CHARACTER OF
THE TOWN GONE
A FALL RESULTS FATALLY.
Ho Opened tho Wronsr Door at
His Realdenco and Fell Down
a Flight of Steps, Receiv
ing Fatal Injuries.
EATH to-day romoved
one of tho most con
spicuous characters in
the county, Edward
Qibbons.botier known
as "Col. Ed." The
deceased's death was
sudden and tho sor
rowful featuro of the
caso Is that it was due
to accident. Having awaited arrival home
until a quarter of eleven o'clock last night
his wife rotirod. leaving the roar door of
the kitchen unlocked. At five o'clock this
morning "Ed." was found lying at the
foot of tho stairway leading from the
kitchen to the cellar. Ho was unconscious
and broathing heavily. Ho wos picked up
and carried to tho dining room above,
whoro ho was laid upon a lounge. He
recognized no one and continued to breath
unnaturally.
Dr. atom was summoned, lie made an
examination and found that thero was a
depressed fracture of the skull above and
back of the oar. A piece of bone about the
size of a silver half dollar seemodtobe
pressing upon tho brain. The right oar
was badly discolored. Dr. Stein pro
nounced the caso a dangerous one and loft
saying that ho would return and note de
velopments, and should the victim's con
dition improve he would attempt to raiso
tho bono trom the brain.
Dr. Stein naid another visit and Ilr
Hamilton was summoned for consultation.
They concluded that nothing could be
done and any attempt to operato would
result fatally.
At ten minutos past nine this morning
Gibbons passed away.
The family say thoy do not know at
what hour Gibbons arrived homn Anil knew
nothing of him until ho was found at tho
bottom ol the stairway.
The circumstances that led to his death
are based upon supposition and they seem
to be these: Unon reaching hia hnnao h
wont to the rear yard and ascended a 6toep
flight of steps to the rear door of tho
kitchen. He entered this Rimrtmnnt. in thn
dark, and walked across the room. There
aro two doors immediately besid n nftpn
other In this room, one on .tho left leading
to the dining room and the other on the
right, opening on to tho landing at the
head of the cellar stairway. It is believed
that Gibbons, owing to tho darknoss.
opened tho cellar door, made a step, or
two, and plunged headlong down the
stall's. At tho bottom there was a wash
boiler filled with tin household utensils of
various descriptions and a battored tin
flour sitter seems to' Indicate that it was
smashed by tho unfortunate man's head.
A clot of blood about tho size of a silver
dollar was upon the floor, and this and thn
battered tin was all there was to tell tho
dreadful talo. His hat and foldod coat wore
beside him on tho floor of tho collar way.
Tho members of the family snnm tn think-
that the theory as above recitod is the cor
rect one.
Edward Gibbons was about 28 vnAm nf
ago and left a wife and two small children.
He was born In St. Clair and had been a
rosidnnt of this town for about 18 vears.
He was certainly ono of tho best known
characters In tho county and had a wide
acquaintance in theatrical circles. Hut
fewbeatrical people who havo traveled
through this section failed to make his
acquaintance. Ho was an eccentrio char
acter, and his drollery oiten mado tho
leisuro moments of theatrical people and
traveling salesmen at tho various hntnU
pass merrily. The colonel's eccentricity
sometimes led to warm scenes, but none
who know him could feel offended and his
death has brought forth rogrots on all
sides.
Gibbons had boen identified with the
theatrical business for tho cast oichtnnn
years, since he was ten years of ajto. He
was first with Osborne, as one timo a well.
known theatrical man in this section, and
assisted the bill posters. About fifteen
yean ago Gibbons was em ploy od by P. J.
Ferguson and had boen bill poster for that
gentleman for many years past, He was
badly crippled by rheumatism and at
times was as helpless as,a child.
