FAVOR STREET sPR1NKLING.
Dr. Wsnchell Says That Dust is More
 Deadly Than Cholera.

Deadly Than Cholera. At the meeting of tho board of health
 last evening there was general discussion on the question of street sprinklipg. Dr. Winchell stated that the dust flying about the streets of the city was menace to the health of the city, and that if the streete
 were kept properly sptinkled the death rate of the city-would be materially de- creased. The fine molecules which blow about the streets are the cause of grip and consequent lung troubles. This was borne out, he said, by the testimony of promi- nent local physicisns, who are also of the opinion that cerebro-spinal meningitis was caused by dust particles arising from the refuse in the streets.
 Mayor Sargent inquired where the money
 was to come from to water the streets, to which Dr. Winchell replied that the city could if necessary borrow the money and that the public would uphold them in do ing 90 as, in his opinion, the cholera was not more deadly, and for this reason the board of health had right to interfere in the matter.
 Beyond this discussion only routine business was transacted.

COMPLIMENTEDB BY THE JUDGE. A Long and Arduous Term-Of Un- precedented Length in the County in Many Years-L1st of the Jurors.
 At the close of the session of the superi or court, civil side, yesterday Judge Wheel CT took occasion to pay compliment to the jury for their long and efficient labors, they. having been on duty since last Janu- ary-a period of marked and unusual length and duration.
 Judge Wheeler addressed the iurymen as follows:
 Gentlemen of the Jury-The business for this jury term is at an end, and am about to discharge you from further jury duty. Before do so desire to express to you, in something more than the formal Ian guage often used in discharging juries in the commonwealth, my appreciation of your services. Most of you have been here since the beginning of January, term of jury service exceeding in length any known in this county for many years and perhaps any in the commonwealth. Its unprece- dented length has made it marked, but in my judgment it is marked in another and 8 better way. You have performed your duty
 
 sacrifes in order to be present; you have been prompt in attendance and uncom- planning. Since have been here you have uniformey given great attention to the testimony as it came from the mouths of witnesses; equally attentive have you besa to the arguments of counsel and the charge of the court. Your verdiots in the main have shown that you appreciated the evil dence, intelligently weighed 1t and fairly and honestly reached your conclusions This has marked your term of service as certainly as has its unusual length. I de- sire to thank you not only in behalf of the court, but of the state whose representa- tive am. shall hope that you will convey to your fellows who were recently excused nay appreciation of their service. Those who have come among you recently like wise deserve the commendation of the court for they seem to have shared in your spirit of devotion to duty. Before you make your final arrangements with the clerk shall be happy to meet each one of you in my office and bid each one of you good bye. Gentlemen of the jury I now discharge you from further service.
 Following are the names of the jurymen who were addressed by Judge Wheeler:
