SITUATION.
WHITE STREET PEOPLE COMPLAIN
Bitterly Against tho Purcoll Prop
erty and Mr. Purcoll Is
Sovoroly Criticized Ol.an
ing up Ordered.
T, seems that tho White
street (unitary com
plaint will bo inter
minable. Last night
tho matter was again
before the Borough
Council and over an
hour was consumed in
discussing it. TV. P. "WilHamf, Clayton
Folrocr, William Jones, William Nois-
wontor, Gaorg.) HoIv(y, D. J. Doyle,
William K. Wilde and a number of other
peoplo interested in properties on White
street between Lloyd and Coil, appeared
and made bitter complaint against tho
property of Martin P. Purcell. The gen
tlemen complained that his premises aro
ODiy drained by an open gutter and somo
of the most disgusting and disease breed
ing filth flows from the property at timos,
Fretident James ..aid that Council had
received innumerable complaints aguinst tho
Purcell and other properties, but when tho
time camo lor Council to take legal pro
coodings no one could be found willing to
swear that nuiiance existed. He cited tho
case of tho borough against Goorge Leitzel
Peoplu .coin plain od that Air. Lsitzol kept
the barrels ho used for cess pool cleanings
on the pavement and they wore a public
nulsauco. Council enterod suit against Mr.
Leitzel, but when tho caso was brought to
trial almost every one living in the vicinity
ot the place complained of swore that there
was no nuisance and tho borough was
obliged to pay $200 costs.
At this point Messrs. Doyle, Jones,
Williams and others present making cow
plaints arose in a body and said they wore
prepared to swear that tho Purcell property
was creating a public, nuisanco.
The complainants said that they could
soo no other course than that Council in
struct the Chief Burgees to bring suit
against Mr. Purcoll for maintaining a
public nuisanco and that, when such a suit
is instituted they will swear that Mr. Pur
cell it maintaining such a nuisance. .Tho
gentlemen also stated that when under
ground drains were put down in the streets
Mr. Purcell refused to connect his prop
erties with them end he now refuses to
connect his properties with them becauso
he considers $25 too high a fee for tho
privilege.
D. J. Duylo said that owing to the im
proper grading of the gutter in front of his
premises on White street the filth that
flowed from tho Purcell property formed a
pool in front of his residence and sicknoss
in his family was tho result. Mr. Doyle
.said he expected Council' to pay tbo 75
doctor bill incurred!
President James sold that he could not
understand how Mr, Purcell c juld take the
repeated complaints against his property
with so much indifference. Ho thought
that Mr. Purcell, as a ciiizsn, should try
and do something.
Finally the sanitary committee was
instructed to notily Mr. Purcell and others
to abate any public nuisances that may be
found and prepare vto bring suits in all
ctses where the nuisances are not abated.
President James also said that in view of
the thre'atonod cholera sioge it was nocts.-ry
that the sundry committee aod all mem-
oora ot council do all in their power to
havo a general cleaning up of tho town.
That the borough officials havo all public
properties cleaned and lend assistance to
individuals to clean their properties.
It was suggested that filth be swept out of
gutters in piles upon the streets and that
the supervisor Btnd wagons around to
remove the pilis.
The consideration of sanitary matters
occupied almist the exclusive attention of
O uncil last night. It had been rumnrod
that the butlmss people en Sjutu Main
street would petition Council to have the
electrio railway nxtonded down that street,
but no such petition was presented and
nothing was said abut the railway. Coun
cil was also silent on the question of public
water works

CHOLERA DONTS.
Prevention of Cholera l'.adler Thau Cure.
IIow Caught.
'Healthy persons "catch" cholera by
taking into their systems through the
mouth, as in their food or dritk, or from
their hands, knives, forks, plates, tumblers,
clothing, etc., the germs of the disease,
which aro always present in the discharges
from the stomach and bowols of those sick
with cholera.
Thorough cooking destroys tho cholera
germs; therefore :
Don't eat raw, uncooked articles of any
kind, not even milk.
Don't eat or drink to excess. Uso plaio,
wholesome, digestible food, as indigestion
and diarrhoea favor an. attack of cholera.
Don't drink unboiled water.
(Don't oat or drink articles unless they
have been thoroughly and receutly cookod
or boiled,, and the more recent and hotter
they aro tho safer.
Don't employ utonsils in eating or
drinking unless they have been recently
put in boiling water; the more rocent the
safer.
Don't eat or handle food or drink with
unwashed hands or receive it from the un
washed hands of others.
Don't use the hands for any purpose when
tolled with cholera discharges; thoroughly
cleanse them at once.
Personal cleanliness and cleanliness of
tho living and the sleeping rooms and their
contents, and thorough ventilation should
be rigidly enforced. Foul water, close ti,
(inks, faucets, collars, etc., should
should be avoided, and when present should
be referred to the Health Board at once
and remediod. -
The successful treatment and tho pre
vention of the spread of this disease de
mand that its earliest manifestations be
promptly rocognized and treated; therefore:
Don't doctor yourself for bowel com
plaint, but go to bed and send for tbo
nearest physician at once.
Don't wait, but send at onco. If taken
ill in tbo street, seek tbo nearest drug store,
and demand prompt attention.
Don't permit vomit or diarrhoeal dis
charge to come in contact with food, drink
or clothing. These discharges should be
received in proper vossols and bopt covered
until removed under competent direction?.
Pour boiling water on them, put a strong
solution of carbolic acid in them (not less
than one part of acid to twenty of hot
soap suds or water).
Don't wear, handlo or use any articles of
clothing or furniture that are Eoilod with
cholera discharges. Pour boiling water on
them and put them into it, and scrub them
with the carbolic acid solution mentioned
above, and promptly n quest tho Health
Board to remove them,
Don't be frightened, but do bo cautious,

I clip tho following from ono of the
county seat papers and insert it here to
give the party responsible for it the benefit
of tho Herald's circulation :
"When tho reporters of the papers north of
the mountain hear stories concerning tbo
treatment of employes of the P. & It. C. & I.
Co., who are hurt in their collieries, they
should Investigate ti e facts. A great deal of
comment was made recently by them In ref
erence to the alleged "inhuman treatment of
an employe ot tho company," who was hurt at
the Knickerbocker colliery. The facts are
tbeso: Joseph P. Knapp la the boss at the
colliery. When the man who was hurt was
brought to the surface, he sent three men with
the injured man to his home in Shenandoah.
When they arrived at his houso his wlfo re
fused the injured man admission, and told the
men who were with him to take him to tho
hospital. Under the circumstances tho men
were forced to take the man to the depot and
await the arrival of a train going In the direc
tion of the hospital. That is how the man got
to the depot. All this could be learned If a
little trouble was taken and there would be no
cause for censnro or comment."
V
Had tho writer of tho above road tho re
ports muda by tho reporters north of the
mountain ho would not have wastoJ time
penning it. All the' facts stated by him are
admitted and were fully known before iho
case was reported. But again I say thht
the unfortunate wretches who aio disowned
by tboir relatives and friends should not
bo left by the way side to die. Thu victim
in this case, as I have repeatedly Elated,
practically bled to death. Ho remained In
tbo depot an hour and fifty minutes before
i doctor was tummoned and tied his
manglod limb to Hop the flow of blood.
Dad theio beon appliances by which tho
limb could have been temporarily bound
at tho colliory, or somo means by which
the man might havo received temporary
treatment, bo would in all probability bo
alive to-day. Mino bosses aro so sensitive
that it seems impossible for them to take
any suggestions as other than direct reflec
tions upon tbera. The point mado it that
some arrangements should ba mado by
which all victims of injuries such as were
tustaioed in the oase referred may receive
temporary rolief at the collieries. The
mero tending of victims to their home is
not an act of humanity. Even the mangled
mule is taken out of tho mines.
Nexll
Councilman Holman gave Councilman
Belteridgo a rub last night. Mr. Better
idge complained that tho Roads and High
ways committea had been obliged to pay
for a numbor of mistakes of last year's
committee. Mr. Holman laid, "You
don't think of what will havo to le
paid next year for your mistakes."
The balance In the borough treasury is a
little over $34. Orders for upwards of
500 were granted last night by the Bor
ough Council, including orders for salaries
of the Chief Burgess, policemen and other
borough officials. This is a healthy (?)
condition for a town that .wants to build
publio water works.
Councilman Lamb has reported on the
Kichards caso at last. Council, upon his
rooommendation, ordered that an order for
$10 be granted Mr. lticbards to pay the
doctors bill inourred by reason of Injuries
sutlained by his daughter in falling at a
defective itroet crossing. An occasional
prodding has a good a good effort upon Mr,
Lamb.

Mrs McCall's Statement.
Mrs. Patrick McCall, of Coles, called in
our office yesterday morning, to make a
statement in reference to the alleged cruel
treatment Inflicted by net and family upon
tho boy, John O'Hourke, who ran away
from his adopted homo somo time ago, and
was taken in by Shenandoah poople. Ther
boy was adopted from St. John's Orphan
Asylum, Philadelphia, on the LJth of
October last. He proved to be a boy of
bad character, and ran away, Mrs. McCall
alleges, bocause ho was justly and
necessarily punished for wrong doing.
Tho statements made by the Shenandoah
papers of cruel and unnatural treatment
wore utterly false in each and every
particular. The boy was treated a? one of
the family, but proved utterly unmanage
able. Tri HVeAfy Record Chief Burgess
Smith, of town, fays that Mrs. McCall is
trying to get again possession of the boy.
Ho says the Herald's report ot the case
was correct and that when hecalledatMrs.
McCall's house she admitted to bim that
she had beaten Iho boy. Mr. E, F.
Gallagher, of town, who has trecomo the
now foster parent, says the bay Is amiable
and well behaved. Beforo the caso was
reportod tho bruises upon tbo boy's body
and legs were shown to the Hkrald re
porter and they were not of a character
that comes from just and necoasary punish
ment. Drummers mid Merchants.
