TO BICYCLE RIDERS.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Proceedings at Meeting Of the Body
Last Night,

A-dol Nl<s
The members of the Board of Health
who were in attendance at the regular
meeting held last evening were Messrs.
McHale Miles, Broughall and Spalding,
the latter gentleman presiding.
The epidemic committee reported that
one case of typhoid fever exists in the
town. Thirteen deaths have been re-
ported since the last meeting and forty
four for the month of September. Fifty
one burial permits were issued during the
latter period.
A written complaint of citizen sub
mitted by the Health Officer against a
property owned by J. j. Franey, at 80
West Coal street, was referred to the
committee on nuisances.
The Health Officer reported that the
filthy condition of the lookup had been
brought to his attention and he had the
place cleaned.
Owing to the continued absence Of Mr.
Malone the president appointed Mr. Hale
to fill that gentleman's place on the nuis-
ance committee.
Mr.. Dougherty called the attention Of
the Board to the bad condition of the base
ment in the Borough building and the
matter was referred to the sanitary COM
mittee.

COUNCIL
IN SESSION.
The Storage Reservoir Gives the
COuncilmen Some Trouble.
SPRINGS CAUSE TROUBLE
They Pour Through a BreaStwOrk and
Destroy the Pudding and Concrete.
Plans to Remedy the EVIL.

A special meeting Of the Borough Coun-
Gil was hurriedly called last night to con-
slider the condition of the storage reservoir
of the public water works at Fowler's Run.
As stated in yesterdays HERALD the re-
cent heavy rains started the springs north
of the reservoir with such violence that
they threaten to destroy the concrete and
other work which has been done, and in
fact they have already caused some dam
age. Ten squares of concrete must be re-
placed The streams from the springs ac-
tually pour into the reservoir and much
of the pudding on the north embankment
has been washed away.
The difficulty is that no one can tell
just where the sources of the springs are
and, therefore, it is impossible to say just
what is required to cut them off and
what the expense will be, although it is
believed that the plan adopted by Coun.
Gil last night will serve the purpose.
Supervising Engineer and Contractor
McAdam recommended at the last meet
ing of Council that ditch be dug north
of and parallel with the north embank-
ment of the reservoir to drain the springs,
but at that time the Councilmen Thought
plan suggested by Councilman Gable
would be equally effective and cost less
Mr.. Cables plan was to put perforated
pipe and brick wall at the bottom of the
embankment and drain the eaccumulating
spring water by pipe to the feed pipe at
the south side of the reservoir.
Last night all the Councilmen i'll at
tendance at the meeting agreed that the
trench suggested by the engineer and
contractor was indispensable. Accordingly
it was decided that the contractor be
authorized to dig a trench 12 feet deep,
and ten feet wide at the top and extending
the full length of the reservoir, the
trench to be located 25 feet north of the
embankmeut, so that the latter may not
be disturbed by any blasting that may be
required. The water committee is not to
expend more than 500 on the work with
out consulting Council.
It is believed that trench twelve feet
deep will cut Off the streams, but if it does
not and the condition of affairs warrant
it Council will decide to make the trench
deeper, This does not do away with Mr..
Cables plan, which will also be carried
out, as the perforated pipe and the brick
| are at hand.
Mr.. McAdam is quoted as saying that
if the present attempts to cut off the
streams fail it may cost $4,000 to make
the north embankment perfectly secure
against the troublesome trains.

Ankle Crushed.

At about twelve o'clock last night
Anthony McMeniman, aged % years, and
residing at the corner of Line and West
streets, attempted to board the empire
freight train, but slipped and fell. His
right leg was thrown over the rail and the
wheels crushed it at the ankle. The victim
was alone at the time of the accident and
as the crew failed to see him he remained
beside the track until found at an early
hour this morning. He was conscious,
but very weak from loss of blood After
receiving temporary treatment be was re-
moved to the Miners Hospital.

WILL LOCATE HERE.
A Brokerage Office TO be Opened in the
Egan Building.

The statement that the gentleman who
has been here the past few days with
view to opening a brokerage Office had
abandoned the project was misleading,
Mr.. f. II. Cooper of Philadelphia, the
gentleman referred to, gives assurance
that such an office will be opened here
within a few days, in fact quarters have
already been leased in the new Egan
building, corner of Main and Centre
streets, and they will be furnished on a
scale to compare favorably with similar
places of business in the large cities. The
report that the project had been aban-
doned arose from rumor that Mr.. Cooper
had found that the methods Of previous
brokerage offices in this town had been so
unsatisfactory there was little hope for
the establishment of new Office This
has served to encourage Mr.. Cooper, rather
than discourage him. Had he intended
to come here and victimize the people his
stay would have been very brief and the
dissatisfaction over previous experiences
would have been sufficient notice to him.
Mr.. Cooper comes here as representative of
a reliable firm and the experiences Of the
past have no bearing whatever upon him.
He represents the firm of Hodgen & Co.,
of Philadelphia, brokers of high reputa-
tion and unquestionable methods in that
line of business, They have established
and are now conducting prosperous
branches in Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, Pottsville and other places.
1t may also be stated that Mr.. Cooper is
by no means a stranger in Schuylkill
county. He has travelled through it for
years as commercial man and enjoys
the acquaintance and confidence of
many of its most prominent and sub
stantial business people.
