Important Action by the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen.

Saturday morning special meeting of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen was held
with the Chairman, Alderman Smith presi-
ding in the absence of the mayor Alder
man Shaw was absent.
An insane woman was ordered sent to the
asylum.
Alderman Hobbs offered the following or
der.
Ordered, That the Street Commissioner be
directed TO remove all standpipes erected to fill
In process OF erection not erected or commenced
In accordance with the charter or ordinances re-
lating TO said Portland Water Company
On presenting the order Alderman Hobbs
said he had many inquiries as to the author
ity by which the Street Sprinkling Company
were erecting, and has erected their standard
pipes. Under the original order, passed in
February last, certain locations were to be
granted to the company for the pipes pro-
yided they were acceptable to the Board of
aiayor and Aldermen and subject to any
conditions the board should determine upon.
Upon inquiry he found that the pipes were
erected by the Portland Water Company,
some without any authority from the board,
and others are now in process Of erection with
out any such authority. The street committee
and street commissioner knew nothing about
the matter, and he had introduced the order
to see If the city had any rights in regard to
the affair superior to the Water Company
An animated discussion arose on the mat
ter. Alderman Galley, from the committee
on streets, stated that the street committee
had granted the Water Company the right to
erect ten standard pipes but he believed all
OF them had been erected before the locations
were decided upon. 1t was shown that the
committee on streets, as has been published
previously, held meeting in the Street Com
mlssloner's room May Both and the commit
tee granted the petition of the Street Sprink
ing Company to erect the pipes: that no
notice OF hearing had been published SO as
70 permit AUDITORS or others to object if they
SO desired; and no permission had been
granted the company by the City Council as
Is required by their charter; that the pro-
ceedlngs OF the meeting of May 3Oth were at
variance with the usual routine which re-
CURED petltlon to be handed to the City
Government, to be by them referred to the
street committee and a report on the petition
from the committee given to the City Coun-
eli for final authority. 1t was also stated by
Alderman Cunningham that the Sprinkling
company turned over the matter to the
water Company who located the pipes.
Alderman Hobbs said several of the abut-
tors mad complained of the pipes.
Alderman Tukesbury moved to amend the
order, which by his amendment would then
require all the standard pipes to be removed,
Finally Alderman Hobbs withdrew his
order and substituted the following which
had unanimous PASSAGE
ordered That the City Marshal be and is here
nly directed to Immediately notify the Portland
water Company to suspend all work on stand
pipes, Tor use Of the Street Sprinkling Company
untu ~ snall nave obtained authority TO lay their
pipes and erect said stand pipes from the proper
work. ~ ~
The Board then adjourned.

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show conclusWey that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop, at
first slowly, and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation in the throat, and If allowed TO continue
their ravages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head, causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro-
ceed will, in time, cause DEATH At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold to 60
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. AS soon as you feel that something's is
wrong with youi Throat Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give yoR Immediate relief. novS-dIy-cT

Some time ago, a gentleman of this city
purchased mileage book over the Portland
d. Ogdensburg, from party who had no fur
ther use for it. The company claims these
books are not transferable. On the passage
from Bartlett to Portland the gentleman ten
dered it to the conductor, and he refused to
accept it. The gentleman paid fare under
protest. He then consulted counsel, and on
Saturday again presented the book on the
road. The conductor refused to receive it,
and the gentleman declined to pay the fare,
On the arrival of the train in Portland he
was arrested, but Judge Cleaves was on
hand, and arrangements were made for the
prisoner to appear for trial before the Mu-
nicipal Court tomorrow. TIE gentleman
will sue the road for false Imprisonment, for

The annual meeting of the Woman's
Christian Association was held at their par
lors Friday afternoon. There was an excel
lent attendance. 1t is two years since the
house was put in thorough repair, and for
the greater part of that time has been very
well filled by young women from the country
who are employed in some of our shops. At
present there are but four boarders, and it is
very desirable that the number should be in
creased, so that it may become self sustain
ing
Another very important branch of the work
of the Association is the visiting of Rev. j.
G. Wilson among the poor and sick of our
city. who for many years have had no city
missionary. The number of families visited
by him the past year was 576, and 1902 tracts
were distributed.
