" Hanltary Suggestions.
Oao of tbo pbyeicians of town said to a
11 KHALI) reporter last night: "I notice
that the Chief Burgess and sanitary com
mittee havo started upon an inspection of
tho town'e sanitary condition and that they
are serving notices on property owners and
residents who maintain overflowing cess
pools or other disease-breeding pest holes
about their premises. But to brirg Shen
andoah's sanitary condition up to tho
standard tho people must have
a lijard of Health. Keeping the
town in a sanitary condition depends
on the sucoesslul administration of two
distinct bodies, viz, tbo highway committee
and the board of health. Tho, first or
highway committee's duty is to keep
streets, gutters and alleys in proper condi
tion, to fill up low places, to cloan strools
and correct defective guttors, and to have
eewors constructed on rational, (useful),
common senso principles, avoiding scienti
fic nonsense as fallacious in its results, not
only in want of proper mechanical con
struction or its financial domands, but in a
want for bygionio success."

THE NOTE BOOK.
Some of the Topics That People are Talk
lilt About To-day.
The work of replacing the old plank
pavement In front of tho White street
school building with a tar pavement is J
nearly unisnod. it is a vast in provoment
on tho old one and ladios who are obliged
to travel pass the building need not funr
having their dresses torn and pulled from
tboir bodies by nails projecting an incb or
two above tho planks. It is hoped the
School Board wdl soon bo in a position
that will justify it in expending some
monoy for also replacing the pavement in
front of tho Lloyd street building with
sjmo matorial more suitablo than planks.
Last July a Polo was beaton by some of
his countrymen at Mt. Carmel and hit
skull was crushed in by rocks thrown at
bim. Tho victim wa3 taken to the Miners'
Hospital and died there about a week ago,
Cupt. Christian, of tho C. & I. police, at
nco put himself in communication with
tho Northumborland and Columbia county
police, and tho result was the arrest of three
Hungarians who havo beon identified as
tho assailants of tho deceased. Tho men
are now confined in the Pottsville jail.
On Monday Coroner Guldin, oi tim
county, went-to Mt. Carmel and had the
body of the Pole disinterred. The head
was taken from tho body and the Coroner
is having tho skull prepared for use at the
the trial of tho men accused.
Tho Manufacturer, a piper published in
Philadelphia, gives somu lbtoroeting facts,
concerning lho Schuylkill canal, Tho.V
canal company was incorporated on March!!
8, 1815, with a capital of f 500,000 and was
opened from Port Carbon to Fairmont,
110 milee, in 182C Tho canal had 29
locks 80 ioet long and 17 feet wide, and the
trench of tho canal bad a depth of 3 feet
and was 3G leet wide. In 1818 it was
predicted that it would be possible
in time to send 10,000 tons of coal per an
num through tho canal, but in 1SG0, ii
years later, tho canal carried 1,350 037 tons.
The capacity of the boats first put on tho
canal wes 28 to 30 tons each. In 1815 and
4G tbo canal was enlargod a second lime
aiidjlhe capacity of the boats were increased
to 180 tons. Tbo railroad war rates ovent
ually causod the canal to succumb and in
1870 the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad
Company leased it for 90'J years, on con
dition of Its paying three por cent, interest
on its preferred slock and one and a half
por cont. on its common etock. But in
wrecking the canal the railroad company
almost dettroyod ilsjlf. The terms were
reduced and lho railroad company con
tinued to retain the.canal, but in 1885-C it
wnnieu lo return it to me iormer owners.
This offer was declined ana tbo railroad
company has einco struggled along with
tho white elephant on its hands, repeated
efforts to unload having failed.
About fifty momberfl of the Columbia
H. A S. F. E Cj., accompanied by the
Grant Band, and delegations from tho
Phoenix and Rescue 0re companies, left
town at 7:40 this morning for Hizloton to
participate in tho state flremon's parade.
Tho weather was very disagreeable when
the start was made, but tho boys said thoy
believed lho sky would clear before tho
hour for tho parado and everything would
pass olf nicely. A number ot our towns
men regretted that the Columbia boys did
not take their steamer "Columbia" with
them and show the Uaz'eton people what
she can do. The company said thero was
too much risk in transporting the engine,
which oust quite a pile.
Whllo waiting for a train to take hira to
Huzlctou this morning Line Director
Moakler, of the First ward, told of some of
his experienoeu in the local fire department
"One night when wo were at a firo," said
he, "the foreman told mo to get lb"
'Siamese.. I started off at a groat run, but
when I had gone abaut ten yards I for
got tho name of the thing, and as I
did not know what it waa I was puzzled as
to vbere to look for it. I didn't know
whetbortogoto the hose oarriage, or the
hose house. Meantime the foreman waa
yelling for the 'siameae.' 1 ran another &
yards and met one of the company with
a bras thing in his hands. 'What is that?'
I asked. Tho 'Siamese' said ho. 'That's
what I am looking for,' said I, and I
hurried back to tho firo with it.
"Anotbor timo," continued Moakler, "they
mado mo line director. At tho first fire
that occurred I was obllgod to run up
the Iaddor and get on the roof of tho
houso. After the firo was out Pll bo
hanged if I could got down tbo ladder un
til they carried mo. Oh, yes; I'm a fire
man."
