County Board of Health Holds n
Meeting.

81
The County Board of Health yester-
day held one of it's useless meetings, and
received a report from it's counsel to the.
effect that the suit of Conville against
the Board of Health had been decided
in the District Court at Hoboken. Con-
vile was awarded a judgment for $25
and costs. Counsel to the Board said he
desired to make a report concerning the
construction of the new contagious di-
sease hospital, but that he would make
it at hte secret session. This Board
always holds secret sessions when it
has business to transact which is of
interest to the taxpayers. Many people
wonder why this is so.
The board directed the Clerk to request
the Street and Water Commissioners to
blow off all the hydrants in the city.
1t also decided to refer the complaint of
Bridget Evans of Harrison to the Grand
Jury. She complains that William Wilke
of that town owns a stable which stand
two feet from her house. The windows
of the stable are kept open, and they
are directly opposite the windows of her
house. Mrs. Evan says the odor from
the table windows and the noise caused
by the horses kicking all night and day,
create such a nuisance that tenants will
not live in her house.
The cases of contagious diseases dur
ing August were as follows:-Diphtheria
in this county, 49,; in this city, 81; scarlet
fever in the county, IL; in the city, z;
membraneous Group in the county, q;
in this city, 4; typhoid fever in the Gun
ty, 81; in this city, 80; smallpox in the
county, 2; in this city, /.

Manufacturing PotterS' Over
lures to the Operators
Men Don't Like
the Idea.
specfasto the Jerscv city Neacs.

TRENTON, Sept. s. 1S94-The Manu-
facturers' Association held a meeting yes
terday afternoon at their rooms in the
Masonic Temple, and q resolution was
passed to the effect a the manufac-
turers will name a committee to confer
with a committee from the operative
potters to consider the pottery situation
as affected by the German law. which
has materially reduced the tariff on
crockery. The man Aaeturers on Satur-
day decided that they must nave at
least a Is per cent. reduction of the
the difference between cost of manu-
could sell goods for. They had agreed on
20 per cent, but had dropped to Is.
DON'T LIKE THE IDEA.
The proposition of the reduction was
Gus potteries on Monday and Tuesday
morning, but the representatives of the
operatives did not like the idea of indie
pendent action, and any one pottery
making an agreement that would be
binding on other potterieS. 1t was
thought that it would be best that the
operatives should be somewhat united in
their action. 1t was this observation that
led the manufacturers yesterday to pass
the resolution that the manufacturers
would have a committee meet a similar
committee U aluG4 operatives.
A prominent manufacturer stated last
night that the claim that the agreement
made at Washington was binding for a
year was not so regarded by the manu-
~facturers, and, they We're all unanimous
that it was void, because it had been
conditioned by the pledge of United
States Senator Smith to restore the tariff
to the price fixed in the original sched-
ule. Senator Smith. a few days before
he sailed, reiterated that he thought that
at the December meeting he could Sc
cure the change that was promised.
STAND BY THE AGREEMENT.
AT the Potters' National Union, last
night, a group of operatives were seen,
but they declared that there was nothing
new, ad that they would take no notice
of a proposition for a reduction at this
time. They would all stand by the Wash
ington agreement.
A special despach from Altoona, Pa,
says:-The Manufacturing Potters' As
ISOLATION did not convene in this city
today as arranged. The Logan House
management. at which hotel arrarge-
ments, for accommodations had been
made, received word that the meeting
was off for the present, and from another
source it was learned that the differences
between Eastern and Western manufac-
turers were too great to admit of their
coming together at this time.
