filed petition in the Court of Chancery

trip to Europe, leaving their son and the
servant in charge of the house..

the allegation, Julia was ordered from the
house.
She went to the home of her sister in

it died in its infancy.

ceived no support from her husband.

ABATING A NUISANCE.
Pavonia Avenue May BE Relieved of the
Rubber Factory stencil.

Pavonia Avenue May BE Relieved of the
Rubber Factory stencil.
For some time past there has been a
good deal of dissatisfaction expressed by
the business men and residents on Pavonia
avenue, below Provost street, in regard to
the smells which exude from the l.. & Nd.
Rubber Works, which are located on
Provost street. The complaints are not
without foundation, for, while standing
on the avenue opposite the works, was
treated to as nauseating stencil as one
could inhale.
The people in the neighborhood say
that on clear days and in winter there Is
no trouble, but on warm, muggy days
and at night the odor is almost unendur-
able.
The neighbors have been thinking of
drawing up complaint to be sent to the
Board of Health, but they were saved the
trouble, for Health Inspector Benjamin
came along in the nick of time and he
was appealed to.
After ascertaining for himself that the
smell was not of the right kind he went
to the factory and saw Mr.. Lowenthal,
one of the firm, who said that he had been
there five years and had never heard a
complaint on the subject For awhile he
could not account for the smell, but at
last he said that in boiling the rubber
sulphuric acid was used, and when the
Health Inspector went to the room where
the material was being boiled, the cause
of the peculiar smell was manifest.
The steam and vapor was rising from
huge vat, and at once settled down over
the surrounding houses. The inspector
ordered hood to be built over the offend
ing vat, with a thirty foot wooden CHM
ney, which he thought would carry off
the gases and relieve the neighborhood
of one of the thousand smells to
which it is subject.
Mr.. Lowenthal cheerfully promised to
erect the chimney

seen that the proposed plan differs from
any heretofore submitted to our

of the objections raised at various times,
referable to the control of our water

ties, or the sale thereof to the city at a

source not lower than forty-one degrees

not greater than that incurred under its

Run Over.
Judge Douglass in the First District
Court this morning rendered judgment
for $500 against Edward Blackner in favor

At the latter corner they left the sidewalk
to meet Montgomery street car which
was coming down the hill, and which the
cousin intended to take to the ferry.
The two men stopped moment to bid
each other good bye, when a.carrirage be-
longing to Blackner and driven by George
Fem, came tearing down the street ON its
way from funeral
Before Miller could get out of the way
the pole of the carriage struck him in the
back, knocked him down and inflicted in
juries upon him from the effects of which
he was kept in the house several days.

his wife owned the livery business and
that he worked for her for his victuals
and clothes. His spending money he OBJ
