An Attach of Cramns.

At about 1:80 O'Clock this morning an
alarm of fire was sounded from the box at
the corner of Main and Centre streets.
The Columbia Hose Company responded
with its hose carriage and learned that the
cause of the alarm was a case of sickness.
d. j. Williams, the night Waterman at
Turkey Run colliery, was seized by a
severe attack of cramps while alone in the
engine house of the colliery. He first in
tended to run to the ~neighboring colliery
for relief, but the attack was so severe he
could not leave the place end he concluded
to blow the colliery whistle. The alarm
brought crowds to the colliery, while
others ran up into town and gave an alarm
of fire, to which Policeman Williams re-
sponded by sounding the electric alarm.
Williams was in a critical condition when
assistance arrived. To-day he was still
suffering from the effects of the cramp.

A wonderful Machine.

There is no doubt hat man is a fine
mechanism, but like every other machine
he wears out by friction. 1t is said that he
is born again every two or three years.
His body is virtually re-msde from food.
To retard this making over is radically
wrong, as a man loses so much vitality il
the delayed process that it takes a long
time to recuperate. The process of making
anew is so accelerated by purging with
Brandreth's Pills that a new man., as it
were, may be made in two or three months,
and the change in the mechanism is such
that the worn out part is replaced by the
new without the usual running down of
the entire machine. You don't have to
stop for repairs. Purge away with Bran
dreth's Pills, the old, diseased and worn
out body. They are purely vegetable,
absolutely harmless, and safe to take at
any time.

information concerning the propable cost
of the works, but all requests, appeals and
demand with that end in view have been
ignored by the parties who should be
prepared to give the public the figures.
To-day the HERALD, in accordance with
a promise made to its readers, publishes an
interesting article on the proposed water
works. 1t is a statement of estimates made
by a firm of reputable and competent civil
engineers, Messrs. A. B. Cochran 81 Son,
of Pott5ville, and with it is published a
diagram that gives the public a very
satisfactory idea of how the projectors of
the new works proposed getting the water
into town. The report is made additionally
effective by reason of the fact that the par
ticulars embraced in it were embodied in
atidavits produced in the court at the trial
of the Injunction suit and sworn to by
members of the firm of A. B. Cochran j.
Son.
THE REPORT.
1t must be obvious to everyone who has
given the subject of water supply to towns
and cities any consideration, that when an
ample supply of wholesome water can be
gathered within a reasonable distance, at an
elevation sufficient to carry the water by
gravity to.the districtssto be supplied, that
it is not only the best aud most economical
method that can be adopted, but that it is
the safest and most reliable in its operation.
When, for any reason, this plan cannot be
adopted, the next best method is to elevate
the water by pumping into a reservoir Of
sufficient capacity to hold from six to ten
days supply, from whence it flows by
gravity to the districts to be supplied. 3
1t requires no argument TO demonstrate
hat the best and most approved engines,
boilers and pumps are liable to get out of
order, and, consequently, this method is
not equal in safety to the grayitation
method, even where irst-class pumping
machinery, supplemented by an elevated
reservoir containing a limited supply OF
water, is adopted.
The residents of Shenandoah are now
well supplied by the former method, the
plant of the Shenandoah Water Co. fur
nishing a good supply of pure water.
1t is now proposed by the Borough of
Shenandoah, to construct new water works
to take the place of the present plant, and
supply the people by the second, or pump
ing system.
A stream of pure, fresh water, a tributary
of Catswissa Greek, known as Davis Run,
has been selected, and g dam located upon
it, at a point about t~hree-quarters of a mile
east of the village of Brandonville. From
this dam it is proposed to elevate the water
by pumping to q storage reservoir to be
built on the summit of Mahsnoy mountain,
and from thence led in pipes to the Bor-
ough of Shenandoah, and there distributed.
We have made careful surveys and run
levels over the proposed line, with a view of

The Gamewell System.

A special meeting of the Council was
held, Tuesday evening, to hear the report
of the Committee appointed to examine
the Gamewell System of Fire Alarm. The
Committee consisted of Messrs Perrine,
Black and Schenck, but the latter two
alone, went to Sharpsburg, and they re-
ported in favor of adopting the system.
Mr. Meyers had complete syst EN-, on
small scale. set up in the Council room,
and explained its workings The matter
was talked over, and it was decided that
the town would need six boxes-one at
either end of both Main and Jefferson Sts.,
one at their crossing and one in Springdale
connected by about five miles OF wire,
and that this would cost the town about
$500, which will be the entire cost if the
telegraph and telephone Cos. allow the use
of their poles, and the Co. Commissioners
allow the use or the Court House bell.
A motion to accept the report, adopt the
system, and continue the Committee till
next meeting, carried.
The Council think the system should be
put up, but are not sure of their ability to
pay for it at present. and will defer the
purchase until after the "Round up" of the
past years business.

Marriage Licenses,
A Holocaust at Gallery.

Gallery Junction was the scene of horror
Monday nj ght. A small frame house To-
Gated near the crossing and occupied by
Addison Hindman, burned while he was
away, and his wife and child were burned
to death in it.
He is pumper and left the house about
i o'clock that night to go to his well, and
the house was discovered to be on fire
about an hour after The alarm brought
several people to the scene, who succeed
ed in extinguishing the flames, but too
late to save Mrs. Hindman and the child;
as the gases had penetrated 10 their room
an had suffocated them, and the flames
had followed and burned them.
Mrs Hindmsn was a daughter of Mr.. j.
N. Pollock of Butler, and was married to
Mr. Hindman about year ago.
Mrs. Hindman and her baby were
buried in the South Cemetry, Thursday.
The fire originated from the kitchen
stove. The night was a very cold one and
Mr. Hindman left the gas burning in il
when he left the house.

Fire in Springdale.

Early Thursday morning the meat mar
ket and residence building on Centre ave.,
Spri ngdale, owned by c. R. Smith was
discovered to be on fire. Nobody knows
how the fire originated, as when first seen
the entire attic was burning. The HOSE
companies came out promptly and did all
they could, but the fire had such start
that the whole building was doomed; and
nothing was saved excepting part of the
furniture of the first story and some things
from the meat market.
Mr.. Beckert, late of Sharon, who eccu
pied the meat market and part of the resi-
dence estimates his loss at ST., 900. with no
insurance.
Mr.. Smiths loss will be double that
amount. The building was worth $1,000
and there was small insurance on it, but
there was none on lot of fine furniture
stored in one of the up stairs rooms, all OF
which burned.

The Wickersham Memorial.

State Teachers Association for insertion in
each of our city papers.
think the plan proposed by the COM
| mittee excellent, and desire to call upon
| the teachers and friends of education in
this town to give it their hearty support.
all teachers and friends of education we
do we'll to hold such memorial exercises
and contemplate the preeminent virtues of
such educational lea ders as Burrows, Hig-
bee, and Wickersham. In honoring them
we honor the cause for which they labored.
1t seems to me that no more appropriate
memorial could be suggested than such a
pedagogical library What the modesty
of DR.. Wickershsm would not permit him
| to tell on the historian of the public School
system OF this commonwealth, we who
loved and admired him may thus have op-
portunity to publish and perpetuate.
e. MACKEY.
The State Teachers Association last
summer appointed committee to decide
upon some suitable memorial to the late
| distinguished educator, DR., J. P. Wicker
sham. At meeting in Philadelphia on
the 11th inst, they decided to establish a
Wickersham Memorial Library of peda-
gogical works, as section of the State
Library at Harrisburg, provided that the
| Legislature will enact measures for its per-
manent preservation as a distinct collec-
| ton. This, we believe, will be the first
library of its kind established by any
| State in the Union.
In order to bring this matter prominent.
ly before the schools of the State, and
increase the general interest in the subject,
the committee recommended the observ-
ance of March 25th, 1892. the first ami
versary of his death, as Wickersham Day.
They have in preparation leaf lets contain
ing suitable matter for that purpose, which
! will be furnished at cost to any teacher
wishing to use them; upon addressing the
