BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING AN ORDER BY THE GIRARD ESTATE OFFICIALS PUTS THE HEALTH OFFICIALS IN A QUANDARY. New Dumping: Grounds Must be Secured for Ofal and a Committee Has Been Appointed for That Purpose. An adjourned meeting of the Board of Health was held in the Council chamber last night, but the business for which the meeting was held was not trausacted on account of all the members of the' board not being able to attend. The business related to the West Coal street sewer, of which so mnch complaint has been made and It was decided to postpone action until the next regular meeting of the board. Another important matter was brought up throngh a report by the nuisance com mittee to the effect that Capt. E. C. Wag ner, assistant superintendent of the Gl rard Estate, had given notice that the con tents of cesspools must not be dumped upon the lands of the Eitate. This order leaves the town officials in a quandary. There are a largenumberof cesspools that must be emptied, and yet the work cannot proceed under the order Issued by Capt. Wagner. Before adjourning last night the Board of Health appointed Dr. S. C. Spalding and T. J. Broughall a committee to visit the Glrard Estate and P. & It. C. & I. Co, offloials to see if some arrangement can bo made to secure a lease of grounds to be used as a dumping place for the offal. Some effective means should certainly be resorted to for doing away with the pestilential filth which Is gathered in the spring and summer. A public dumping grounds is far preferable to none at all yet to have the filth of the town dumped within even half a dozen miles of places of habitation is by no means in accord ance wltn tne views 01 modern progress and medical science. A creaniatory is the only means by which the emergency can be effectually met. Cleanliuess is one ol tne necessaries ol tne hour In this town. A look around the side streets and alleys will confirm this assertion. There is barely one of these thoroughfares thas is not strewn with piles of garbage of all sorts. The summer months are approaching and with them will begin the decay of rub- bage, filling the air with impure odor and bte.'ding germs of disease. The only prac tical solution of the question as to what Is to be done to keep sickness and pestl lence from breaking out In our midst. Something: Special.

Cameron Ferguson did not give an exhibition of hypnotism in Bobbins' opera house last night.

While sitting in a hotel yesterday afternoon he became dls gutted with the prospects of securing a house In the eveplng and passing bis hand with a mesmeric movement through the handles of his grip, he quickly wafted westward.

ARE WE INFRINGERS? Question well Raised as to the Game Local Electric Fire , Alarm System. " & CLAIM UNDER PATENTS A BOSTON FIRM SAYS PRODUCTS OF THGTGAMEWELL COMPANY FORM OF INFRINGEMENTS. The Town Is interested to the Tune of Twenty-Sevein$tundred Dollars An InvestleatlolWiU Probably be Miide. And now aquestlon ai&es as to whether the borough owns Its electric fire alarm system. It was purchased from the Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Com pauy.of New York city, about three years ago for 12,700. A firm called'JUie Munici pal Signal Company, of Bo3ton,jtfasB., now comes out with circulars and claiming to be the owner of a large number tit letters patented for Inventions relating Ed, muni cipal, police nd lire alarm, cull and signal systems and apparatuses operator! by electricity and are notifying all boroughs, towns and cities of such ownership with view to calling attention to Infrl ments of the patent. Shenandoahvis among the places notified and the not' Btates that the apparatuses controlled tho company's patents are principally issued from the Gamewell Fire Alarnil Telegraph Company. j The circular also gives notice that all municipalities using the Invention claimed by the company are liable for damages for the use of the Invention. It will require some investigation to as certain whether the system In use in this town is covered by the claimants. If such should prove to be the case the borough will be in an awkward position, as it has paid tho $2,700 for the system and has no guarantee from the Gamewell Company to afford protection against claimants for infringement of patents. Tho matter will probably be considered at the meet ing of Council to be held tonight. All watches repaired by Strouse guar- nnieed for oue year. Lutheran Conference.

What might have proved a serious accident, resulting in the loss of two lives, had it not been for the timely appearance of a passerby. On Tuesday a Lehigh Valley train was approaching the curve at the southern end of Jardin street, when the engineer noticed two small children, about 4 years of age, walking upon the track. The engine was immediately reversed and the brakes applied, but this precaution would have been useless had not a miner going to work snatched the two children from the track when the engino was but a few feet away. It was a narrow escape from death. Strouse for broaches.
