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.
Mullagatawny soup for free lunch at
the Watson iiouie tonight. Clam soup
will be served free tomorrow morning,
Ferguson Flunked.
"Professor" W. Cameron Ferguson did
not give an exhibition of hypnotism in
Bobbins' opera house last night. He
arrived here yesterday loaded with Matin
noy City Bau-age, for which, Editor Joyce
says, the "Professor" has a strong liking.
The hypnotizer remained here uutll four
o'clock yesterday afternoon and then van
ished, leaving behind unpaid hotel, hall,
bill poster and printing bills. It is not
known whither he has fled, or whither
be has gone, but it is quite cer
tain that the "Professor" will have to
exert more hypnotic Influence over the
poiket books of the people of this region
than he has during the past week It he
wishes to ride home. 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. Tho "Professor" also failed to
give an advertised exhibition at Mahanoy
City.

The Town Is interested to the Tune of

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.

Might Have Been Serious.
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.
