BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS.
Month Of September Was Remarkabl,
Free from Sickness Analysis Mad
of City's Water

Free from Sickness Analysis Made
of City's Water.
Facts which will prove a source of
gratlhcation to the city at large were
developed at yesterdays meeting of
the board of health. Rumors have been
current for several weeks to the ef-
rect that the number of existing cases
and deaths from conta agious diseases
nave been abnormal; that an epidemic
OF typhoid was imminent, and that the
water supply had been contaminated.
All these fears were proven ground
less
The report of Health Officer Allen
was to this effect: That notwithstand-
ing an unusual amount of street and
building excavation and pronounced
changes in the weather. the month of
September was remarkably free from
sickness. In fact, the deaths and ex-
listing cases of contagious diseases for
the month were less, proportionately,
than during any September since 1890.
In September, 1892, foty-seven cases
We're reported and four deaths resulted
from contagious diseases; this year
the figures were ten and two, respec-
lively.
Water Pollution Stopped.
DR.. Allen, in his official capacity as
state health inspector, recently investi-
gated the four typhoid cases existing
at Elmhurst. He found the drinking
water had been procured from a spring
which was contaminated byan clubhouse
The latter was burned and the refuse
buried after being thoroughly disen-
rected. TWO men are now employed
about the premises, and twice each day
remove the eXcreta and bury 1t.
d. w. Humphrey, a chemist employed
by the board, was present and submit
ted analyses showing that the several
city drinking waters are practically
pure. Following is an analysis of water
drawn from faucet in Lackawanna:

THE 'rREASURER'S REPORT.
Figures Relative to Money in the
Treasury and in Circulation.


Tho Treasurer of the United States has
submitted to Secretary Carlisle his annual
report, in which he states that the lowest
point touched by the reserve was S52, 189, 800,
on August 7, 1894.
With reference to the retirement OF TreRs-
ury notes, the Treasurer says that prior to
August, 1898, the Treasury ha l been able to
provide for the redemption ofTreasury notes
in silver dollars out Of the holdings OF free
silver, 80 that there had not been, up to that
time, any impairment OF the total amount OF
the silver fund.
The silver dollars and bullion in the
Treasury on the third of that month, how
ever, had become reduca1 to the amount re-
quired by law to be retained for the payment
of outstanding Treasury notes and certIh-
Gates, and the demand for the redemption OF
notes continuing, in consequence OF the
scarcity OF small denominations OF currency,
it became necessary to draw upon the dol
lars coined especially for tnat purpose. The
silver fund being thus impaired, the notes
redeemed were cancelled, in order to pre-
serve the required equality between the sill
yer in the Treasury and the notes outstand-
ing, The total amount of the notes retire
in this way up TO October 81 was S4.79O, 43l.
The amount of the new issues OF Unlted
States paper currency put into circulation
during the year was $3.50. 959, 190, having been
exceeded but once, in 1892. The amount OF
worn and mutilated notes redeemed was
S319 OO2, ,29O This has also been exceeded
but once in 1898. The total paper circula-
ton reached its highest point IN May last,
when it stood at S1,175, 900. 600. There has
been a slight contraction since then, causei
chiefly by tho gradual redemption and re-
tirement OF gold certificates, the issue OF
which wes suspended, as the law requires,
when the gold reserve OF the Treasury feu
below one hundred million dollars.

that he could not endure existence. The ar

ATTACKED BY A LION.
Tanner Veno Chewed Up Before
Uorrified Audience.

Professor Veno. lion tanner, was giving
an exhibition at Wikesbarre, Penn, when
WaIlacker, a vicious black-maned African
lion, which has killed five men, refused to
jump through hoops and do lis other tricks
as usual. Veno whipped the lion, which
sprang at him and BIT his leg slightly.
Veno entered Walacker's cage again and
as the lion still refused to do his tricks he
again used the whip. Wallacker sprang at
veno with a roar, knocked him down and
fastened his teeth in his hip
Shrieking with pain Veno struck the lion
in the face with small iron shield he car
riei and after two or three blows drove him
of.
Veno's ass: s:stants forced Wallacker towards
his corner, but before he reached 1t he
again sprang at Yeno, reaching for his
throat. Veno put up his hand and the lion
crunched it horribly. One of the attendants
stunned the lion with an iron bar, and before
he recovered Yeno was dragged out. He
lost great deal OF blood and, it was feared,
could not recover.
The fight caused panic in the audience.
Several women tainted, but no one was
hurt.
