STRINGFELLOW ON DIPHTHERIA,
An Original Measure Proposed by IA
City Councillor and Smothercd by
the Committee.

1t will be remembered that some time
ago Councillor George Stringfellow intro
duced, at a session OF the City Fathers,
paper setting forth this ideas as to the
steps which the Council should take to
prevent the spread of diphtheria and to
bring patents under suitable quarantine
regulations. The communication was
referred at the time to appropriate CON-
mlttees and has never been heard of
since. Thinking that the bill had posi-
bly, contained some severe censures or
structures rejecting on the Councils dis
regard OF this vitality important subject,
and that this might perhaps account for
Mr.. Stringfellow being dropped from
that body, reporter took occasion to OBJ
tain copy OF the singular document, for
which favor the DEMOCRAT is indebted to
Recorder Wells, We print the paper in
full in order that no injustice or erroneous
ideas may attach to either the author or
the committees,as might result il we were
to offer synopsis and comments instead
OF the communication itself.
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of. the
Council:
In consequence OF this calamitous
diphtheria, which is now so prevalent in
this city, and the results OF which are OF
such devastating character that it
seems to me it should receive especial
care and attention; and some additional
measures adopted by which il possible to
check the spread OF this much dreaded
disease by which 80 many once happy
homes with their family circle have been
made solitary cots, and joyful hearts
made sad by being stripped of their
loved ones by the hand OF death through
this diphtheria which has been left almost
to take its own course without molesta.
ton on our part. And as member OF
this body, feel it a duty to lay this mat
ter before this Council and urge the
adoption of some strict sanitary rules
and regulations, which | trust will be
effectual, and to this end | will make a
few suggestions, or in other words, will
give you few Of my ideas upon this ur-
gent matter.
First, think it should be the duty of
this Council to use every effort within its
power to protect life and health, and to
do this a board of health should be an
pointed, and as far as practicable, sani-
tary rules adopted, and the dry night
soil system established, and abolish the
cess-pools. the odor OF which does not
only impregnate the air We breathe, but
it befouls the water which people have to
use for culinary purposes, by finding its
way into the water veins and wells.
/ will make mention OF one other pro-
minent nuisance which no one can fail TO
not be cognizant of, and that is, pig pens,
which should be strictly annihilated, and

Down at the Horn Silver.

Last Tuesday was quite an evcntful
day at the Horn Silver, says the Southern
Utah Times; for the first time in nearly a
year the bins were filed with ore and
several cars were loaded for shipment.
During the day visitors from town
gathered around the works and watched
with interest every move that was made,
though, of course, no information of i'm
portance could be obtained. Five car
loads OF ore were shipped north Wednes-
day, but it had to be side tracked this
side OF Deseret owing to the dangerous
condition of bridge over the Sewer
The present outlook is quite encouraging,
for there is no doubt but that if the com
pany is so disposed, it can do enough live
work in short time to cover the cost OF
several months of dead work.

sons for vetoing Ii. r. is, which appro-

The Governor believed the laws of Utah
needed revision rather than compila
ton, and that money expended for the
latter work would be wasted. The hand
ling of so large sum of money should
be done by legal officers acting under
valid bonds. The present Territorial
Treasurer and Auditor we're holding over
long after their terms expired, and their
bonds, if they ever were legal, were SO no
longer. Many of the present laws of

n YOUnx HE0sDAog RVoDc0 OF HIS vile
by Armed Mon ON she Road.
A special dispatch from Newaygo,
Mich, says: A farmer from Maple
Hill township reports that there is
much excitement over the peculiar abb
duction Of young married woman, the
lady being taken away from her hus-
band in the dusk Of last evening, aud
not yet having been seen by her friends
or heard from. Lewallyn Martin,
popular young man, son Of q wealthy
farmer, recently deceased, was married
about three months ago to an eastern girl,
Miss Fannie Meryine, and went to live
at the Martin homestead, beautiful
estate, in Maple Hill township. The
Young bride soon become fayorite
among her new acquaintances. She
had been married month when "a
strange young man appeared. Tie
called upon the bride two or thr
times when the husband was absent,
and on one occasion, at least, she went
driving with him. 1t became to DO
whispered that the stylish young
stranger was former sutton for Mrs.
Martins hand. After few days he
disappeared.
at o'clock yesterday afternoon
Martin left the house with his wife in
a buggy for q ride. At 6 o'clock he
returned home alone, and told re-
markable story Of his wife's abduction
from the buggy by four men, none of
whom he could identify on account OF
the darkness, and because they had
partly disguised themselves by turning
up their coat-collars. lie says the men
came out of a wood through which he
was driving and asked him the way to
this village: that he stopped the horse
to give the desired direction, when two
of the men passed round to the left
side of the buggy, where his wife sat,
one came around to where he sat, and
the fourth, who had asked the way, re-
NAMED near the horses head.
Martin thought their actions were Pc
celiar, and, hurriedly giving the request.
ed information, started to drive on. At
this moment the man seized the horse
by the bit, and, drawing a revolver,
commanded Martin to be quiet. The
man on the right at the same moment
showed pistol in his face and told him
the penalty Of moving was death. The
men on the brides side of the vehicle
then seized Mrs. Martin, pulled her
from the carriage, and started into the
woods. The men who guarded Martin
remained behind for probably ten min
utes, keeping him covered with their
revolvers. They then told him he
could drive on, and as he did so they
disappeared. lie drove home as fast as
he could.
Martins story was so remarkablet that
It was not comprehended for some little
time. Finally farm-hands were routed
out, and, procuring lanterns, started
out to look for the abductors. No trace
Of them was found, and Martin finally
returned home in a terrible frame OF
mind. To-day a large force has been
searching for clues, but if any have
been found the fact is not known.
Many do not believe Martins story.

CITY Water.


The Philadelphia Erening Telegraph
makes the sweeping assertion that
there is not city in tho United States
which can be said to have supply Of
potable water that is fairly beyond res
sonsble adverse criticism, and 1t may
be doubted whether there Ia one in the
world" Being Of that opinion, the
Ttlsgroph adds that "the problem OF
potable water is one that has not yet
been solved, and especially has it not
be N solved as regards the great cities
in their capacity Of large consumers who
are peculiarly dependent upon elaborate
and costly apparatus"
The quantity of drinksble water
needed in any city is SO small compared
with the quantity used for other pur-
poses that 1t would seem easy to de-
wise means Of furnishing for drinking
and culinary purposes an abundant
supply Of clear, pure, wholesome
water.
II, for example, every man, woman,
and child in Richmond were to use
three gallons Of water a day in cooking
and drinking, 100000 gallons would
suffice to enable them so to do. The
reservoir holds 100000 gallons, or
leo times 240, 900 gallons-nearly half
a years supply. The problem is how
to supply 100000 gallons of potable
water for family uses and 10000, 900
gallons of the kind we now use for
general purposes.
The Telegraph suggests that distilled
water might be furnished for drinking
and cooking.

OXFORD, N. O., Sept. Ia, 1886.
Mr.. j. A. Long, Of Durham, Demo-
cratic candidate for solicitor for the
Fifth district, spoke in the court
house here to-day. He went over
briefly, though thoroughly, the
condition of our State poll
tics, showing the wonderful improve
ment that has been made since the De-
mocratic party came into power. He
then urged the people to continue in
their efforts to support the party that
had done so much for them. Mr.. Long
is man of ability, and will fill well
the Office for which no is q candidate.
Hon. James w. Reid, OF Rocking
ham, candidate for reelection to Con.
gress, then spoke with his usual grace
and force. He discussed thoroughly
the state Of our national politics, show
ing the wonderful reform that has been
made since the Democratic party came
into power; showing how greatly they
have lessened the expenses of the Gov
eminent. He urged the Democrats
to hold the majority they have in tho
House, and said that their pros
poets for majority in the Senate were
good. He warned them against the
danger Of dividing their strength, as
their enemy was yet strong with whom
they had to fight. Mr.. Reid's speech
was quite long, but his audience did
not tire in the least. lie has wen the
hearts Of our people by his marked
ability as an orator, and also by his
good, hard sense, too. His speech had
great weight.
Our people are subscribing promptly
