There was almost a panic on Cherry
street and vicinity west of the depot early
yesterday morning, and visions of typhoid
fever, diphtheria, and other diseases were
to be almost seen. The trouble was
caused by terrible smell in the air that
permeated every house and place of abode
in the neighborhood. There were many
that went without their breakfast in
consequence of tho pestilential odor.
An investigation of the trouble resulted in
finding that the vault in the rear of Hall
& Elton's factory had during the night
been opened by two colored men and the
contents had been carted through Cherry
street and dumped in Emory Morris lot
in the rear of J. w. Lanes store on Hall
avenue. The cart used was not one of the
improved pattern, and the streets from the
factory to the dumping place on
on Hall avenue was we'll sprinkled with
filth and inside of two hours after break
fast time fully twenty vehicles which
passed through Cherry street on Hall ave-
nue. were inoculated and the odor was car
ried about various parts of the borough
disguised and indignant and messenger
was dispatched for Warden Newton, the
chairman of the board of health,
who was soon on the ground and investi-
gated the matter at once, and expressed
| himself as surprised and shocked that such
| state of affairs should ever exist within
| the sacred precincts of the borough, and
| at once proceeded to do what could be
| done toward abating the terrible nuisance.
Chloride of lime and other disinfectants
| were freely used, and in spite of all
| the precautions the stencil remained and
| several sighed for q sniff from the gas works
which should have been preferable for q
change. Several of the borough bylaws
have been violated by the action of open
ing the vault at this season of the year
and without any attempt to use a deodor-
| iZer, and in dumping the same in the
midst of a thickly settled community. The
neighbors are intensely indignant at EN-
cry Morse over the affair. Morse claims
he had no part or interest in the matter,
| but this statement is not credited
stuff was carted ia owned by Morse. 1t is
| to be hoped that the borough bylaws will
be enforced, and the persons who are re-
| sponsible for the outrage will be made to
| settle and as far as possible right the
wrong already done. Warden Newton
stated yesterday that Morse would be re-
quired to move away the compost heap
that he has located on the Hall avenue lot
to some of his outside property.
James Laden's tea wogan was badly
broken up by his horse running away on
Colony street yesterday.
Special Officer George H. Reilly was on
| duty on Colony street last evening in place
of Officer Dan O'Reilly, who was taking
| night off.
Yesterday was L. g. Seeleys eightieth
birthday, but owing to the fact that the
wheel shop was shut down he failed to
rim the set of wheels as he had intended
| to do.
Judge Hubbard received a letter from
| g. w. Hull yesterday dated at Marienbad,
Germany, which gave a recount of his
| journeyings since leaving New York early
| in May. Mr.. Hull states that he is inn
proving and thoroughly enjoying his trip.
