PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE alarming
increase in the death rate, it has been
discovered, is due almost entirely 10 the
use OF imupre water. The costly attempt
OF the city to protect its drinking water
has been rendered nugatory by the refusal
of the mill owners to turn their refuse and
sewerage from the Schuylkiil river into
the conduit built for it. At New York
the river is receiving all day long large
streams of foul smelling, chemical.laden
water from paper and wood pulp mills,
dye, liquors and wool washngs from wool
mills, dirt of various sorts from shoddy
mills and all kinds OF dangerous combina-
tions from chemical mills. In two in
stances the river received the drainage Of
the mill water closets. Mayor Filter and
4 committee are considering measures to
protect the citizens and to punish the mill
owners.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, July 9.--Ai,rr con
sidering all the evidence IL connection
with the JohnstoWn horror, the cOroncr's
jury finally rendered the following
verdict:
We, the undersigned jury Of inquest I'M
paneled to investigate the cause Of the
death OF Ellen Hite on the 3lst of May,
after hearing the testimony do find that
Ellen Hite came to herdeath from drown
ing and that said drowning Was caused by
the breaking OF the South Fork dam,
We further find, from the testimony and
what we saw on the ground, that there
was not sufficient waste weir, nor was the
dam constructed sufficiently strong, nor
was the material of the right kind to
withstand an overflow, and here we find
that the owners OF said dam were cul pable
in not making it as secure as it should
have been, especially in view of the fact
that population OF many thousands were
in the valley below. We hold that the
owners are responsible for the fearful
loss of life and property resulting from
the breaking Of the dam.

A New Irish Society,

CHICAGO, July l0.--A number OF prom-
nent Irish-Americans held private meet
ing recently to discuss the feasibility of
organizing an Irish-American republic
association to advance the interests of
Ireland and the Irish race. After q
lengthy discussion it was unanimously
decided to adopt plan of action formu-
lated and proposed by'W. T. Griffin. Ac-
cordingy an organization was perfected to
be known as the Irish American Republic
association and an election of officers was
held. 1t is the intention of the projectors
OF the above named association to organ
ize land syndicate, composed of in
1uential and wealthy Irishmen, send rep
resentatives to Canada, Chill, Peru and
Mexico. The latter country, it is under
stood, would be willing to dispose Of
Lower California or neighboring state,
under certain conditions, with the privi-
lege of establishing an Irish-American
republic thereon. The money expended
on improvements, necessities and land
will be secured by mortgage without in
terest, or very low rate of interest, and
will be collected in small annual install
ments the samo as rent. This money
will be utilized to build and equip navy,
organize an army, develop the resources
OF the country and establish republic.

of the state convened here yesterday to
discuss railroad tariff and determinations
1t was assessed that freight rates on
some roads were advanced from 90 to

opinion seemed to prevail that there is
no safety for commerce outside OF legal
restraint. The business element Of Texas

Flag Laws.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Although the
navy department has issued an order to
the effect that hereafter all flags made for
the navy shall contain forty-two stars, a
request from the assistant treasurer of
New York for flag of this description
has been refused by the treasury depart
ment. The officials of the revenue ma
rine bureau, which distributes flags to the
custom houses, revenue marine boats,
ETC., hold that a flag with forty-two stars
is not legal flag, and will not be until
the next 4th of July. The law says: "On
the admission OF a new state into the
union one star shall be added to
union Of the flag, and such addition shall
take effect the 4th day of July then next
succeeding such admission" The flags
with forty-two stars are just one year
ahead of time, said revenue marine Off
cial to a reporter yesterday. The local
contractor who furnishes our flags, saws
that all the flags he makes for private in
dividuals contain the increased number
Of stars. That is all right so far as private
parties are concerned, but the government
must have legal flag or none.

The court based its refusal on the groun,,
that the petition prayed for Beggs' abso-
lutte release from jail and did not ask for
alternative relief Of admission to bail, and
also because the states attorney had not
been notified. The judge directed, there
fore, that tho petition be amended if it

The Rev. DIR. Agnew, of Philadelphia,
was pastor of the Presbyterian church in
Johnstown for ten years. He declares
that danger has been apprehended from
the bursting of the reservoir for twenty
five years. About twenty years ago an
alarm was given in the middle of the
night, and the inhabitants were all ready
to fly to the mountains at moments no.
tice. The danger passed, however, and
the town escaped. But it was common
thing for the streets to become filled with
water from the river, and this fact helped
maintain a fatal feeling of security, until
the flood from above was actually heard
roaring down the great gorge.

Lucky Newspaper Man.

Stories OF the generosity OF that most
genial of Philadelphia philanthropists,
Mr.. George w. Childs, the publisher of
the Ledger of that city, are so numerous
that they are now, I must admit, rather
lacking in novelty. The latest, however,
which is tale of how good fortune came
through him to a Quaker City news
paper man, is SO charmingly character
istic of the Ledger's owner that l am con-
strained to add it to the already long
list. The young journalist upon whom
the fates have smiled, Mr.. Melville
Phillips, one of the brightest of the
bright writers on the Press, had been in
dustriously at work for some time putting
into shape the personal "reminiscences of
Mr.. Childs, which appear in the current
issue of Lippincotts Magazine, and was
thus called into close contact with the
philanthropist on numerous occasions.
Some time ago, it seems, Mr.. Phillips
bought at that beautiful Philadelphia
suburb, Wayne, which was built by Mr..
Childs, a model dwelling, paying $4,000
in cash therefor, and allowing the $4,000
balance to go on mortgage. When he
had finished his work on the article re-
ferred to he showed it to Mr.. Childs,
who thoroughly approved it, and asked
him to take it to the editor of Lippincotts,
who promptly accepted it, and pre-
sented him with check for $1,000 in re-
turn. Highly elated, Mr.. Phillips carried
the news to the Ledger office, and Mr..
Childs, after rejoicing with him over his
good fortune, remarked; 81 have some
thing else for you herel" Whereupon
he opened drawer of his desk and pre-
sented Mr. Phillips with cancellation of
the mortgage on his Wayne property

ditional schedule to those formulated
ten years ago is schedule relating to
veteran soldies and sailors, their widows
and children. Also as to the number of
mulattoes, quadroons and octoroons to be
found in the country. And in case
Superintendent Porter decides not to col
lect the statistics of recorded indebted
ness of the country by special agents this
information will also be collected by the
enumerators. Should this not be done
by the latter employees it will necessitate
a personal visit by special agent to every
county seat in the country. AS there are
nearly 5000 counties, this in itself will
be an immense task.
1t is absolutely impossible to tell what
the census will cost. An appropriation
has been made of Sc, 400, 900, but in all
probability it will take fully $4,000, 900
to complete the work. This is exclusive
of printing, for which special appro-
priation of 81, 100000 is made, includ-
ing the printing of the volumes. The
pay of enumerators consumes the largest
part of the appropriation. In 1880 it
amounted to over $500, 900, and this
year it will probably reach over S4, ,OO0,-
900, especially as the population of the
country will in 1890 be somewhere in
the neighborhood of IS, 900, ,o0O.-Neso

An Apparatus for Burning Water.

What may prove to be the most i'm
portant invention of modern times, and
one that will revolutionize the manu-
featuring industries and, in fact, all COM
merce, has been invented at Phillips,
Wis, by Rev. NJ. Alley. Mr.. Alley has
studied thoroughly and exhaustively for
the past ten years the subject of com
bustion, in the attempt to invent an ap-
paratus to cause the consumption of
smoke in large furnaces. Not succeed
ing in that beyond certain limit, he at
last applied himself to the invention of a
device to bring about the burning of
water, which he has at last accomplished
The apparatus consists of a tank of water,
which would be the boiler of furnace
a pipe leading from the tank to the fire
place, into the burner. The burner is
very simple, being only piece of gas
pipe, varying in size according to the in
tensity of the fire used and filed with
scraps of iron or coils of wire. This
burner lies over the fire, and steam pass
ing through it is heated to such a high
temperature that when it issues from the
orifices in the pipe it is Immediately trans
formed into its component gases and
burned, producing heat many times
greater than that Of coal. The most i'm
portant part of the invention is valve
which allows the water to enter the
burner in quantities only sufficient to its
needs. The fuel used is dimished three
fourths, and the heat produced increased
many fold. One of these has been in use
on a conomon cook stove in Phillips for
several months, but not many outside of
that locality have heard of it, A few
days ago its operations were witnessed
by Milwaukee capitalists, who were
greatly excited about it, one remarking
that it seems almost like witchcraft.-

Some interesting statements regarding
the extension of the area of cultivated
lands in the United States are presented
in report of the statistician of the De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t appears that
the area under the four principal arabic
crops-corn, wheat, oats and cotton
increased from 1873, 600, 900 acres in 1879
to 159, 900, 900 acres in 1888. This rep
resents an expansion in nine years of the
area under those crops of 81, 100000
acres, or an extent of land more than
equaling the entire area Of the three
northern New England States.

According to the WASHINGTON

According to the Washington Star
General NJ. G. Meigs has suggested to the
Commissioner of Pensions that "the flags
borne in battle by the soldiers of the
United States and those captured by them
in war be hung around the walls of the
Pension Office building. He says also
that the intent of all the acts of Congress
regarding the captured flags is that they
shall be displayed in some proper public
place. Commissioner Tanner agrees with
this suggestion, but is of the opinion that
the roof of the Pension building, which
leaks badly, should be mended before the
battle flags are hung about the walls"
