T WAS A JOINT SESSION, Ono Dltpoiltlon of the Yaxnllous Vu eel ini tio ri Question A Committee Appointed tn Determine Who Arc Too Pixir to Pn-y fur Complying With the Oidlfwio, A joint meeting ot tlio Borough Coun cil aud Hoard of Health was hold In tlio Council Chamber last night, at which Messrs. McGulre, Hand, Kerns, Dough erty, Kane, Stniughu, Jiimoa, Gable, Mc Illheuny, Gallagher nud Meluskcy, mem bers of Council; Messrs. Spalding, Brough nll and Miles. Secretary Scnnlnn nud Health Olllccr Miles, ot the Hoard of Health: aud I rank Hannn. secretary of the School Board, wore nresent. President McGuiro stated the object of the meeting was to bring the borough nnd jjoaru or iicaun authorities together tor tlio purpose ot discussing matters rel ative to the public health and especially Willi regaru to ine eniorcemcht ot tile vaccination laws, whereupon Mr. Snal ding said that it would bo advisable for mo meeting to designate some means by which the people who are too poor to pay ior mo vaccinatum ot ciuiureu coma uo ieslgnated. Ho snid I'otlsville had op lointed a ldivsician to do tlio work lor tlio borough, but ho did not wish to be under stood as recommending tne same course. Any means which would iituiln tne pur pose of tho ordinance would bo satisfac tory to tne Hoard ot llealtn. Uouncilmon liana asked if it was necessary that children who hnd already been vaccinated should comply with the ordinance, and Dr. Spalding answered Unit tne ordlnunco requires Unit all children must be vaccinated within seven years, but ho understood tlio superinten dent ot the schools had decided that if childieu have been vaccinated previously nnd have good scars on their arms he will not Insist upon another vaccination mere was considerable discussion, uur ing which Mr. Gable said that the com pulsory vaccination regulations abridged the rights of citizens. Air. Hand thought the rule ought to bu enforced against all children, whether they attend school or not, nnd Mr. Kane said that he did not think it took rights from anvboilv. oulv prevented those who did not comply with the regulations from ntteiuliugtho public scnoois. nut the main question hinged on what method could he adopted to determine wno wasmrmny uo nolo to pay ior tne vaccination ana wuo mav not. Finally Councilman McKlhennv moved that a committee of one from each ward bo appointed to act as n committee to Inquire into the circumstances of people wno may apply ior iree vaccination and that the committee act lu conjunction with the Board of Health. The motion was carried It is understood that this committee Is to issue orders for vaccination In cases where they ilnd the circumstances of fnmilles will not allow the expenditure ior tne lee. The president appointed ns a committee Jnmes Knuo. First ward: James Mclil hcuny. Second ward: T. J. James. Third ward; Patrick Kerns, Fourth wurd, lind Patrick Hand. Fifth ward. The meeting then proceeded to discuss sanitary matters and. Mr. -Mci'.iiieimy said his attention had been called to the bad condition of the gutter In front of th Franey property, on West Oak street, um the trouble was supposed to bo duo ton pile of lumber. Chief Burgess Burns said Mr, Franoy promised to have the lumber cleared away by the latter part of this week. Councilman Gallagher then moved tlint tuo uniei isurgess notuy tno tenants o all properties in tho town to clean theii gutters and that the Supervisor be in structed to romovo tho material taken from tho gutters and also clean up the streets. Carried. Mr. Kane ndded that it Is the duty of tho Chief Burgess to see that gutters are Kept clean anu also see una pavement are kont in repair. Messrs. James and Gallaghor followed with statements to the effect that the Burgess should seo that all garbage anil such stull Is dumped outside ol the town whereupon Mr. Daniels, Lieutenant of the Coal & Iron Police, arose and said that the Ilenlth U l cer had iiotiiied tin C. & I. Company that it was maintaining nuisances on two of its properties near tuo lime Kiiu nnu on tne uase uau grounds, and the police had been in structed to look the matter up. They did so and Mr. Daniels named several peopn who have been dumping stull on th company's properties Mr. Daniels said if thero was any ordinance covering the case the O. & I. police would arrest every body who might dump garbage on the lands of the company. By direction of the president the sec retary read n section of the health or dinances which was accepted ns covering tho ease. A discussion then nrosn as to where garbage, etc., could be dumped. The P. & H. company will not allow it to be put in the mine breaches and the Gilbert and other estates ulllciuls may not allow it to be dumped on their lands. Mr. Daniels said he would givo tho Health Officer all the help he could and would make arrests for him, but he would not be the prosecutor in the cases. Health Ofticer .Miles said that Laud Agent Miles had given hliu tounderstuud that the bosses of the company have ns muoh right to look aftor the company's interests in such matters ns he had. Mr, James said the borough was paying a Health Ofllcer and-It was his duty to abate such nuisances. Tho Board ot Health had authority and should exercise It. Dr. Spalding thought the whole matter was very much complicated aud in Ids opinion n crematory was the only solution to the dllllculty. A small town In the western part of tho state had built n satisfactory furnace largo enough in which to burn a horse at a cost of but $600. Mr. T. F. Miles thought the Council should take some stand and decide upon tonio pince ior a dimming ground. i i. 3 ' iu"i with the P. & It company and see if some site on one of the mountains can be set aside for ii public dumping ground was considered with favor and the meet - lug ihju adjourned. rij.NCiii points.

BURSTING OF A FLY WHEEL Wllllimi A. Drnnla Wns tho Victim A llur From the Wheel Tell Upon lllui With ratal Uirect The Deceased n llodel Man. Mahanoy City, Mar. 21. William A. Dentils, an engineer nt North Mahnimy colliery, was killed at that place yester day afternoon, at 2:40 o'clock, by the bursting of a ily wheel. Ho lived but fif teen minutes lifter the accident and died unconscious of ids surroundings. The engineer was alone nt the timo of the ac cident. The colliery emnloves were notified of the nccldent by the noiso of a terrific crash in the engine house. ash. Llting nam, son of the foreman, was llrst upon nesceie. rue sight that met nis gaze was horrifying. Lngineer Dennis lay upon the iioor, his skull crushed in nnd tl o brnlns exposed nnd oozing from the wound. The big Ily wheel wnsn complete wreck and holes in tho roof live by ten feet in size showed whero the missing parts hnd gone. Men followed Eitringhnm into tho engine room, among them Lloyd Donnis, a brother of the then iuiured man. Tlio meeting of tlio two was pathetic. The two young men always bore a strong allectlon lor each other nud the smuien burst of feeling was loo much for the on lookers who, though well used to scenes of death, were mocd by the horrible fate of their old friend and fellow work man. Willing hands carried the Dennis form to the colliery ollice and no time was lost in summoning n physician. During this time Dennis showed uo signs of returning consciousness. He breathed heavily and on Id occasionally givo n convulsive shudder. Just as the physician entered the dooi- he gasped for breath and then lny quiet. Thophysician pronounced him beyond all suiTerlng and the body was re moved to his late homo ou East Pino street. Tho bursted Ily wheel wasabouttwenty lectin diameter and contained six spokes, Fivo of these were broken oft close to the huh and but one of the live lay in the engine house, the missing four having found their way through the roof. The one broken spoke or. Peril a nt more pro perly, Par lay in the space whero the engineer had stood ond is probably tho piece tlint caused Ills death. It is about seven feet long and weighs upwnrils o 300 pounds. This liar is supposed to linvo strucK the Denm ot the engine house roo and struck poor Dennis in Its descent. Tno cause of the Ily wheel bursting may never lie known, although nn expert will be at the colliery to day to pass an opinion. One theory Is that tho engine was running fast and was checked too suddenly, but this is dissipated by an other statement that the cars were a long way from their destination iml theie was no necessity for reducing ed: besides, the engine had frequently neen brought to n dead stand-still when running at 1C0 revolutions per minute, a much faster rate of speed than nt tho moment of th nccldent. It Is snid the wheel hnd been in use for sixty yenrs and was brought to Xortli Mahanoy colliery from the old Knpplie colliery many years ngo. William Augustus Dennis was 39 years or age and lett a wife nnd one sou, William. 17 years of oge. He had worked at the North Mahanoy colliery for 2!) years, hnving started as n slate picker, and was a ilremnn nnd engineer for 20 years. He wns an exemplary citizen and was never known to use profane Ungunge. Tlio deceased was a member of Gen. Grant Lodge, No. 575, I. O. O. F., nnd Washington Camp, No. 4110, P. O. S. of A., both of Mnhanoy City. George W. Dennis, the dry goods merchnnt of town, Is n brother of tho deceased. IncreiKed Tnxt's. The County Commissioners hnve de cided that it is necessary to increase tlio tax rate to ilvo mills for county purposes nnd one mill for funded debt purposes: This will bring into tlio colTers of the county $300,000, but from tills niiiount must bo deducted nbout 15 per cent, for exonerations, commissions, Sc.
