Some Plain Talk on the Exist
ence of Nuisances.
MEMBERSHIP IS NO BAR,
Member, of the ttoanl and All Other.
Must Obfy the Sanitary Law., nml If
They do Nut do so Will he Promptly
Prosecuted.
The Board of Health held a regular
meeting in the Council chamber last
night and considered the reports of com
mittees on the general health of the bor
ough and nuisances. Tho members present
were Messrs. Spalding, Miles, Mcllale
and Broughall.
Secretary Scanlan itated that there
have been no contagious diseases In the
borough for several weeks, but during
the month of June there was a great
increase In the death rate, tho board hav
ing received during that period fifty-six
certificates of death. This Increase Is due
to the summer sickness which attacks In
fants.
Health Ofllcer Miles reported thnt he
had made an Investigation of the nuls
anceon North White street complained
of to the Borough Council and located
the source at tho Tobak property. The
owner promised to remeuy tne cvu by
connecting the property with a sewer and
will becin the work next Monday.
Mr. Miles also reported that many
other nulnnces are In existence in the
borough, but owing to tho tardiness of
the Council authorities In acting upon
what the Board of Health requests, he
has been unable to enforce the laws as
they should be. In some instances, he
said, the violators of the law are wholly
lniimerent to all notices.
This sentiment brought ui a discussion
on a nuisance existing on property owned
by a member of the Boald of Health, and
for n while there was some pretty plain
talk, in which it was declared that a
membership on the Board was not a bar
to anytmug tne organization is expected
to take in other cases of like character,
and If tho member does not abate the evil
he will be nroceeded acaiust.
It was decided to have a special meeting
of the Board next Tuesday evening, and
the Sanitary Comniltte of the Borough
Council will bo invited to attend so that
nuisances existing In the borough and
steps to abate them may be considered
jointly.
To-morrow's baso ball game will bo an
exciting one.

Mr. Wnttfon a rnndlclato.
After a lonir nnd steady null many
prominent nnd influential Democrats of
rnerouuty nnve unauv induced linn, m.
C. Watson, of town, to becopie a candidate
for tho nomination for Senntor in the
Thirtieth district on tho Democratic
ticket, nnd a formnl Hnnouncement oi
tin; candidacy nppears In another column.
This Is one of the most Important develop-
menfs In the campaign, and It may be de
pended upon thnt henceforth the fight for
the nominntlon will be a lively one, as
Mr. Watson is not only exceedingly popu
lar and strong among the masses, but also
has the advantages ot experience from a
winning light for tho same ofilce and an
excellent record as a champion ot the
worklngmeu's Interests In tho Stato Sen
ate from 1SS0-90, this record being well
known to nil readers. Many of the lead
ing Democrats, nnd In fnct otlifer lnfluen
tial and conservative men, have declared
that Mr. Watson's cindldncy would be
the salvation ot the Democratic party in
this county next fall, as on account of the
great depression It must be expected
that the Democratic vote will fall olT,
but with Watson as a candidate
the party will more than likely be able to
hold the vote through Ills great popu
larity with tho working classes and en
able the Democrats to at least elect n
Senator. Mr. Watson's candidacy Is not
the result of n sudden thought.but follows
calm deliberation, and now thnt he is In
the fight he will remain In It to win.

HID 10 DEATH
Sad Accident at McElhenny's
Hotel Last Evenincf.
k DOMESTIC THE VICTIM
The Unletting of a Pan of l"at on a
ftft.oWne 8tove Cau.ecl k ltla.e Which
Ignlt.d the (ilrlV Chithlnc ami lWnml
Her Horribly.
A sad accident occurred nt Councilmau
McElhenny'a hotel, corner White and
Centre streets, last night, shortly before
seven o'clock, by which Mary Skrobel, a
girl seventeen years of ago, was so severely
burned that she died at 7:15 o'clock thta
morning.
The itlrl was omnloved as a maid of all
work at the hotel and yesterday assisted
In the kitchen. A f tar frying some oysters
she placed the pan of fat on the part of
tho gasoline stove which was not In
operation, but in such a manner that the
nandle ot tne pan projected from tha
stove so that later, when tho girl hurried
past, her person struck tht handle and
splashed the fat over the lighted part of
the gasoline atove.
The girl sermad at first Insensible to
her own danger, and notwithstanding htr
clothing had been Ignited ahe stooped and
picked up tht blazing pan, which had
fallen upon the floor, but the nextlnatnnt
her screams of fright and pain arouied
the whole neighborhood.
Mr. McElhenny and Constable Phillips
ruihed Into the kitchen and found it in a
blaze, the flames reaching to the celling.
The girl rushed past them like a deer, ao
suddenly that they had no time to realizt
that her clothing was on fire, and they
turned thelratttntlon tosavingthehouse,
and with tho assl.tnnco of Fred. V.
Helaenberger succeeded In extinguishing
the flames.
Meanwhile the flames were making
awful progress over the person of the
unfortunate girl. Meade Peters, tht
caterer, met htr In the hall and, seizing a
door mat, made two strokes at the burn
ing clothing with good effect, but the
girl swept paft him and out upon Centrt
street with such speed that the flro was
fanned Into Increased activity. The dis
tracted victim rnn lit) Centre struet nnd
tried to en'or Heisenberger's store, but as
ner mazinit ciotning would ctrtnlnly have
set the place on fire she waa prevented
from doing so. Several attempts wfrt
made to get coats about the girl to
smother the flame., but she was so stiong
and quick that she broke away each time.
Finding her oonrte to the store cut olf
the victim turned and ran into tho mid
dle of the street. Then she turned again
and started back for McKlhenny'a. it
was at this point that John .1. Rellly,
Constable Phillips, Hon. T. J. Hlgglnt,
Meade Peters and others succeeded In
surrounding the girl In such a way as to
cover her body with their coats nnd
smother the flam.. lint little of her
clothing remained and aho presented a
pitiful state. Tho back of the body nntl
limbs from tho heels to the neok were
horribly burned and the ffntof the body
from the knees to the wa"-' ulTered like
wise. Her head, face, breast and hands
escaped injury.
Mesars. McF.lhenny and Peters hurried
the girl to a room on the third lloorof tht
hotel and summoned Dr. D. W. Straub.
The physician pronounced the cat a
helpless ono on sight, but did nil In hit
power to allevlnto the sufferings of tht
victim nnd ahe soon rested easily. Htv.
Ambromaltls, of St. George's Lithuanian
Catholic church, was summoned and he
admlnisttrtd tho last rites. The girl
showed great fortitude in her sulferlngt
during the night. Shortly after seven
o'clock this morning she awoke from a
deep slumber, flashed a glance at thost
In the room and expired. Tha remalnt
were taken in charge by Undertaker
Meluskey, who removed them to the
residence of tho girl's uncle In the First
ward.
