BOARD OF HEALTH.
Diphtheria Reported to BE Gaining
Despite the Boards Hard Work.

A regular monthly meeting of the
Freeland Board of Health was held in
DR.. Schilchers Office on Friday evening,
every member and the-health officer be-
ing present. The meeting was called to
order by President Schilcher, and the
minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved. Health Ollicer Ward re-
ported that eight cases of diphthera
and one case of scarlet fever had been
reported to him since the last meeting;
that one of the victims of diphtheria
had died and been properly buried with
the necessary precautions; that four of
the cases of diphtheria had been report
ed within the past seven days, being in
the families of James X. Boyle and
Francis Brennan, both of Centre street,
William Shelly, on Adams street, and
Mrs. 5. E. Hayes, on Washington street,
and that during the past three weeks
there had been Il marked increase in the
number of cases. He also reported that,
owing to borough ordinance restrict
ing the digging up of the streets during
the winter months, sewer connections
could not be made at this time SO as to
abolish most of the nuisances which had
recently been reported.
After general and prolonged discus
sion on the impending danger of an epi-
demic of diphtheria is this borough the
board decided that more drastic meas
uses must he used to combat the disease,
and the health officer was instructed to
have the special officer whom the bor-
ough council had appointed for this pur
pose patrol the affected neighborhoods
and arrest every person who persisted
in disobeying the official notice for
bidding visitors to enter houses contain
ing diphthera, copy of which is posted
on every infected dwelling, and bring
them before the burgess for fine or i'm
prisonment, or both, according to the
borough ordinance and act of assembly
on contagious and infectious diseases.
The secretary was instructed to write
to every physician practicing here and
request him to isolate his cases, per
sonally supervise the thorough disinfec-
ton of infected houses and in every way
possible to prevent the further spread of
the disease. There beiug no further
business the board adjourned to meet at
the usual time in January, or sooner,
should a special meeting be considered
necessary

The cornct contest begun by the st.
Patrick's cornet band some months ago
closed on Saturday evening at Haas
hall. Thomas Quigley, of town, was
awarded the cornet by the committee of
judges, Owen Fowler, j. p. Mcdonald,
b. f. Davis and j. J.>McMenamin, who
were selected by the band. When the
contest began there were five entries, as
follows Thomas Qugley, Freeland;
Hugh McShane, South Bethlehem; W.
f. Williams, Mahanoy City; John Cor
coran, IIazleton, and j. Z. Higgins,
Olyphant. Messrs. McShane and Cor
coran withdrew before the contest
closed. The judges met on Saturday
evening, and of the three remaining
contestants, Messrs. Williams and Quig-
ley were present, prepared to close it.
Nothing, however, could be heard from
Mr.. Higgins, of Olyphant, and after
some deIiberation on The part of the
judges, they decided to end it, as due
notice had been given 20 all concerned.

The former was unanimously awarded
the prize.
The cornet is handsome one. gold

was prize well worth STRIVING for by
any person who could use it, and the
winner is naturally proud of his victory.
Mr.. Qugley is a member of the st.
Patrick's band, and is ranked among its
best players. Mr.. Williams put up
good contest, considering that he was
collecting in a region whore the band is
not so well-known, and vote of thanks
was extended him for his earnest work.
Matt McGettrick and John Johnson,
two members of the band, started today
for Olyphant, to see if they could learn
anything regarding the contestant at
that place.

An Old Landmark Gone.

For years the high brick stack near
the site of the old Woodside breaker has
stood like silent monument to mark
the spot where all was hustle and hustle
during Freeland's early history. Since
the breaker was pulled down several
years ago the place had a ruined APP
pearance, and nothing remained of old
Woodslde, which formed the subject of
many song and story, but the stone
foundation of the hoisting engine and
parts of the broken machinery lying
here and there. Everything had disap-
pearod, or was slowly decaying, even
the old slate bank, having succumbed to
fire, and the brick stack, through which
the draft from the boilers found an out
let, was all that remained intact. On
Saturday morning force of Coke Bros
& Co.'S men began work at the stack
and u few dozen sticks OF dynamite were
judicously scattered among the bricks.
They were fired and the old landmark
fell into thousands of pieces.

The judges of the superior court have
drawn lots for the positions they will
occupy on the bench. Judge L. N
Willard will occupy the seat beside
Judge c. L. Rice, the president judge,
and will be next to him in the matter
of seniority. The other judges will
rank in this order: Judge John j.
Wickham, Judge James A. Beaver,
Judge Howard j. Reeder, Judge George
b. Orlady, Judge Peter F. Smith.
Judge Charles Il. Rice has taken the
oath Of Office as Judge of the superior
court from Judge Stanley Woodward,
president judge OF LuAerne courts. The
paper was immediately filed with the
prothonotary of this county. He will
continue as president judge, having
drawn the lucky slip of paper which
decided who would hold the position.

OuarreIed After Drinking.

In quarrel between foreigners out
side of the city limits of Wilkcsbarre on
Friday night Charles Steve was shot
three times by one of his countrymcn,
named Ambrose. One bullet entered
the head and the other two lodged in his
body. As the affair occurred out of the
city the police paid little attention to it.
The man who did the shooting was in
the neghborhood two hours afterwards
and made no attempt to get away, nor
did any of his countrymen try to have
him secreted, but no arrests were made
up to midnight The wounded man is
in a feeble condition. The bullet that
entered his forehead went though his
skull. The other two that went into his
body penetrated no vital spot. The
men quarreled, it is .said during a
drunken row.
