MRS. LEILA LANE, q resident of Prospect

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Microscopists Examine the River Water
Nothing Wrong With II.
The regular monthly meeting Of the Iron
City Microscopical Society was held last even
ing in the parlors of the Pittsburg Library AS
sociation. The President Mr.. c. c. MelIor,
gave an exhibition by the aid of the lantern, of
rotifers. They were photographed by himself
and thrown upon the screen by the lantern.
The evening was mostly devoted to viewing
good miscellaneous collection of objects
mounted by the members.
1t was expected that the members would
have on exhibition number of drops of dis
eased water from the Allegheny river, but they
did not materialize. In speaking of the water
DR.. Depew, one of the most enthusiastic micro
scopists in the city, said:
I'VE did not think that there was enough to
interest us in the water to make any effort to
have the members exhibit drops OF it, Some
of our members had drops of it under their
microscopes several days ago but they did not
find anything, We do not think that there is
any cause for alarm among the people. They
should be very careful, though. about filters
Our members have examined the sediment of
filtered water and found that it has been con-
taminated. The filters should be cleansed oc-
casionally and the sediment removed"

THE DAM OWNERS.
The Cambria Iron Company Owned Much of
the Stock-InformRl Meeting of
Club Members YESTERDAY.

A fact that has been sedulously concealed
since the Johnstown disaster, and which will
arouse a lively breeze when made known,
cropped out accidentally yesterday. Frequent
references have been made to the interest dis
played in the safety of the dam by the Cambria
Iron Company, the great manufacturing con-
Germ which was the commercial mainspfing of
the ruined city. 1t is the public impression
that the interest manifested for SO many years
was of a wholly precautionary nature But as
a matter of fact the Cambria Iron Company
was perhaps the heaviest individual holder of
the stock of the South Fork Fishing Club,
and therefore had direct pecuniary interest
in the dam which yielded to the warfare of
the powerful elements. Why this fact
has been SO carefully corked up is not known,
but the presumption is that the South Fork
Club was not anxious to provoke further dis
cussion of the various phases of the AFFAIR,
although it has become known that 1t was at
one time since the disaster purposed to make
statement but upon consultation, 1t was DE.
Cided to let adverse comment exhaust ltsel1
before making public statement or an attempt
to look to the future OF the CLUB.
Among so many members there is, OF course.
a diversity of opinion as regards the future OF
the club and the disposition OF the property
yet remaining. One member of the club holds
the unique opinion that as the means OF fish
ing has been so thoroughly wiped out the club
may be considered to have ceased to exist
Colonel Lawrence. vice Preslaens a EN- 81, 9i tne ne
not there had been meeting of members at
his Office yesterday. as The DISPATCH stated
yesterday morning.
"Yes," said Colonel Lawrence, there was an
informal meeting of few members at my
office this morning, but don't care to talk for
publication. The club has nothing to say"
"Will the club take action looking to the
dissolving of its charter?' queried THE Dis
PATCH representative.
"Well, /" replied Colonel Lawrence, nothing
will be done for year at least. To dissolve the
club it will be necessary to proceed legally; to
publish notices in the newspapers for 60 days
and to proceed by vote of all the stockholders.
To proceed otherwise would be like Governor
Beavers action in regard to spending the
States money-contrary to law"
"Wil the dam ever be rebuilt?"
Not by this generation, l presume" said
Colonel Lawrence. THE associations are too
sad. But there is no reason why the remaining
buildings could not be used for a summer re-
sort. Cresson has no lake and no water. The
individuals who have erected cottages will
make use of them without reference to what
the club does"
Colonel Lawrence refused to be interviewed
further, but intimated that at some future
time statement might be forthcoming which
would change the complexion of affairs.

cess. The concert takes place at Old City Hall
this efening, and will enlist the services of the
entire personnel Of the Festival chorus. as well

ranged and embraces several of the most sue
cessful chorus numbers of the Festival and
vocal and instrumental gems of miscellaneous
nature. As is well known, although great
artistic success, the May Festival resulted in
an actual financial loss to its prime mover, Mr..
Retter, whose indefatigable energy and untir-
ing devotion of his time for several months met
with no recOmpense. The committee in charge
of the benefit are Messrs, Echols, Vogel, Ross,
Weldin and Holmes. Mr.. w. r. Holmes Is
Treasurer of the affair, and it is hoped that he
will be able to turn over handsome sum to the

SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN ROBBED.
A Kansas Doctor Picked Up In Very Bad
Plight on the A. v. r. r.

A fne-looking, well-dressed man. who gave
his name as DR.. 7. 81. Miller, of Hutchinson
City, KAN, was taken to the West Penn, Hos
pital early yesterday morning, suffering from
numerous cuts on his head. Some workmen
from the Lucy Furnace discovered man in an
unconscious condition, in the corner of box
car on the Allegheny Valley Railroad at Forty
eighth street. The police were notified and the
man removed, but was in such q dazed condi-
ton that he could give no account Of himself.
He appeared to be suffering considerably from
four deep cuts on his head
On the way to the hospital he raved about
having been thrown from car and robbed.
During the afternoon he partially regained his
senses and told his name, showing diploma
from the University of Pennsylvania. He said
he had a wife and family in Hutchinson, KAN;
also that he had been thrown from car by a
conductor and then placed in q box car. No
money was found on him, but there was gold
watch without chain in his coat pocket.
There are some indications of conclusion Of
the brain, but otherwise the mans injuries are
not serious. The police think the man met
with foul usage, but so far have not found any
clew on which to work.

They Hndn't Reported.

No tidings were received along the:levee last
night from the rifle runners under command
of Captain Lew Clark, who proposed to explore
the Conemaugh, Kiskiminetas and Allegheny
rivers in search of dead bodies and to make
general examination. 1t was supposed that
yesterday mornings rain had delayed them.
The towboat Tide which went down the Ohio
on search for dead bodies was seen opposite
Rochester at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Her progress was slow, as every eddy and bar
where body might be found was being care
fully examined.

SAVED TEN LIVES.
The DelusiOn of Teamster Who Formerly
Lived in Johustoyvn

Yesterday afternoon Officer Madigan, of the
Soho Police district, arrested a man named w.
T. Ryer for disorderly conduct and locked him
up in the Fourteenth Ward Station. The
prisoner was found in Franksuown singing and
dancing to large crowd of children. On be-
ing questioned at the lookup Ryer stated that
he came from Johnstown and that his wife was
drowned in the food. He is evidently slightly
demented, as he claims that he floated all the
way from Johnstown and that he saved ten
persons and brought them down to this city on
log. To further substantiate his claim to
saving the lives he gives .he names of those
whom he saved, giving Smith, Jones and Brown
as the most prominent He claims to have
worked as teamster for William R. Baker,

W. 81. Devore, the undertaken, yesterday re-
turned from Johnstown and made some state
ments concerning the reports of trouble among

that he was made chief Of the undertakers by
Benjamin Lee, the President of the State
Board of Health.
DR.. Lee gave him a card certifying to this,
and it was indorsed by Dictator Scott. Mr..

THE TRANSFER OF POWER

JoHNsTowN, June Lit was remarked to-

much difference when the State takes hold of
the ruins as he does when crossing the line be-
tween two States. So far as can be seen the
landscape is the same and there is no apparent
difference in the laws"
The change will probably be made without
friction and the work will go on as vigorously
as before. Dynamite has been used in the

progress was made in cleaning out the channel
of the Conemaugh above the bridge to-day. A
number of stationary engines and long cables

PURE WATER.
Why Not Use Condensed Waters-Perfectly
Pure Water Right at Home.

Pure Water Right at Home.
While the question of drinking water is agi-
tating the public mind it is well to know where
pure water can be had. In the manufacture of
salt there is certain quantity of pure water
which passes off in steam from the heating
tanks in which the salt water is evaporated.
This steam condenses very tast, 1000 barrels a
day being the quantity obtained at the works
of Haller, Beck & Co., on Beaver avenue and
Rebecca street. A chemical analysis of this
condensed water shows it to be absolutely
pure. The firm has long used this pure water
for drinking purposes, and it is also regularly
obtained by many people living in the neigh
borhood who call at the salt works for it, rather
than run any risk by drinking city water.
