BosroN, Dec. 13.--Judge Lowell has decided
that some $500, 600 in notes of the Union Mills,
OF Fall River, signed only by the treasurer,
when the bylaws of the corporation required
that they be countersigned by the president,
are solid claims against the concern, on the
ground that the rule had not been observed for
number of years before the company became
bankrupt The judge also held that the notes
had been bought by innocent holders before
maturity and those parties could not be held
responsible for the application of the corpora
TONS money, or be affected by any fraudulent
use of the proceeds of the notes.

yesterday afternoon on the railroad matters at
issue which have been fully reported in the

whether the right of way is owned undivided,

ing the late war.
Mr.. Kiefer opposed the passage of the bill,
saying that he did SO without any desire or in
tent of keeping alive the ill-will engendered
by the late war, though the fact should not be
lost sight OF that the college was destroyed by
war, brought on, IN part, by it's own teachings
and that no record showed that a single student
OF that institution had entered the Union
army. he opposed ii -oe:anse there was no
legal ground for pay ment of the claim and
denied there was any precedent for such pay
ment.
Mr.. Eden would not vote for the bill because

In the November atlantic j. A. Judson,
civil engineer, discusses "Drinking
Water from Agricultural Lands'' in way
not calculated to make bis readers comforta-
bic. He says: "While wholesale river pol
luton from any source is utterly inadmlssl-
bic on any sanitary grounds, sointinitesimal
pollution by dilute sewage, indirectly dis
charged into the water-conrsc, is equally
dangerous, and attended with sure though
more remote fatal results, especially II
human encreta be present in any form
aehdteuer." The most dangerous water
OF all is shallow we'll water, the sec
ond most dangerous is river water
to which sewage gets access. Moreover, the
agreeable notion that running water puri-
Ties itself in the course Of twenty miles or
50 is not ali true rs matter Of fact. The
English Rivers Pollution Commission de-
clares that no process has yet been devised
OF cleansing surface-water once contaml-
mated with sewage so as to make it safe for
drinking. OF sewage Mr. Judson says !:
"Were we to fall into the habit OF looking
upon it and calling it poison instead OF se,o-
age, and treating it as we do any other poi
son, one step at ieast will have been taken
on the high road to safety. Surely no civil
lied community ought knowingly to use
water polluted, no matter in what degree,
with such filth as this" ~.
