without comment.

and as a consequence the faithful OF the
e. o. p. will be in position to celebrate

= Several routine matters were disposed
OF, and then the Committee on Claims
reported that the bill of Charles Matthew

The special committee on Summit street
at the next meeting.
Health officer Malo reported that Sec
retary Fisher OF the State Board OF Healt b
had accompanied him on his recent trip to
Albion to examine into the causes OF the
typhoid fever prevalent In that village,
and that thorough inspection of the
village had been made with the result that
several tenement houses belonging to the
Albion Company had been found In very
bad sanitary condition-a condition very
dangerous To health. Some OF the tene-
ments were filed with gases arising from
sink drains and cesspools and the odors
were almost unbesrable. The health off,
Ger was OF the opinion that imperfect
plumbing was to blame for much OF the
sickness in that and other villages In the
town. The report was Jfceived and filed
and the health officer was instructed To
take all measures within the law to prop
erly protect the health OF the commu.
nifty.
The fact was brought out, through a
question addressed to Town Clerk Craw-
ford by President Andrew, that no deed
had been given the town OF lands bough ht
by the town, near Saylesville, for highway
purposes. Men were moving buildings
onto lands OF which they had no title
whatever, and grave complications might
arise later through the negligence OF some
one whose duty 1t was to make the deeds.
Mr.. Crawford stated that the deeds
would be ready in a few days and the
matter would then be atisfact orilly ad-
| justed. President Andrew shook his head
! in doubtful way at Mr.. Crawfords 3 in
formation, but not hing more was said and
the subject was dropped.
The Pawtucket Water Works was given
| leave to move water main In the high
way at Saylesvllle, the expense OF the
sewer to be borne by the town OF Lincoln.
This created quite breeze, the member
from Lonsdale Mr. Jorden, being OF the
notion that the Water Works people
should pay their own bills, while Presi-
don't Andrews thought differently, in this
particular instance. II Is perhaps need
less to state that Mr.. Andrew had his way.
John II. Barber appeared before the
council and complained In the name of
abutting owners on High street, that the
Interstate Railway Company had failed to
do as they had agreed in the laying OF
their track on that street. After some in
teresting discussion, in which the entire
council and several outsiders took part, IL
was decided to leave the matter in the
hands OF the highway committee.
Frank f. FitzsimmoDs petitioned the
council for a general license for Demo-
cratic organizations to parade and raise
flags during the campaign. The petition
was granted.
Took Poison.
1t is stated that a young man nance
George Parkinson, belonging on the
West side, who had Just returned to his
home after an absence oil several days, in
a fit OF anger or dependency, took a libe-
raj dose OF Rough on Rats late Sunday
evening and came very near making a
Journey from this to some other sphere.
DR.. Leonard j. Herman Is said to have
spent all Sunday night with tho unfor-
tunate man and to the efforts of Doctor
Herman he may attribute his present
comfortable condition.
