PROBABLY ILLEGAL.
The Way the Sudden Shutting off OF
Water Effects Consumers.

A physician, who is not a city Of
fetal, in discussing the practice of the
board of public works of shutting off
water consumers without notice, for
sprinkling the lawns overtime said a
day or so ago:
"The health department of our city
condemns our unsafe wells and privy
vaults, which is all right. We then
put in sewer and water connections
and have water closets in our houses.
Accidently, servant sprinkles the
lawn overtime in the evening, and
without being notified the water is
shut off. Not knowing that the water
has been shut off, the closets are
used, and the result is that the health
of the people in the house is endan-
gered. We can 60 to the neighbours
for our drinking water, of course, in
stead of using our condemned wells. l
doubt whether any department of the
city can do that which endangers the
health of any person, and not render
the city liable for damages.
81 am not objecting to the shutting
off of the water, but short time, say
twenty-four hours, should be given
the delinquent water consumer to pay
the So fine. The notice having been
served, he knows that the water will
be shut off it the money is not paid,
and he and his family govern them
selves accordingly"

STRANDED.

The Alice Wilson show, which oc-
cupied the boards in this city last
week, is no more, says the st. Peter
Herald. 1t ran on to the rocks of ad-
versity and was wrecked. The show
opened at ST. Peter to S14 house.
The thought of so much money set
all of the artists wild and row en-
sued. On Tuesday night the receipts
were about half that amount and on
Wednesday the receipts dropped to
81. Then the show busted, leaving
the various members stranded. AS
the weather and roads were good,
most of the company have managed
to get out of town.

BELLAIRE INDUSTRIAL.

The industrial situation in Bellairc
is not as good q s before the holidays as
will be seen by the following schedule.
Why this is we can scarcely tell. eX-
cept there is generally dull manu-
featuring season In January and Feb
ruary, especially when the preceding
months were any ways lively. There
is q promise of an increase in business
in the future, and we earnestly hope
such may prove true. as we have q
good many idle citizens. and idleness
is "a danger 10 any community.
The steel plant started ND Thursday
for q three days run. and unless the
trade is very dull viii continue this
week, as there are more pigs" piled
about the steel plant than ever before;
so much so that the smaller furnace
was taken off several weeks ego. and
last week the other furnace was Coked
down for g short while. Promises are
made for O boom IN the steel business
soon, but IL does not come as soon as
we would ike to have g..
There is nothing new reported from
the brick vorks-Only they are repair

this evidence of profit, and glad to see
g spirit OF Improvement and broaden
Ing in the business management.
The glass business has been rather
dull during the past week. Rodeters.
although they did not entirely smut
down, as expected. yet they are only
using the opal glass tank and working
but three shops. And the bottle works
are making only about half time now.
Both factories look for better trade
soon, and then they will put on the full
force on full time again.
Our flour mills have not recovered en-
tirely from the apathy in the flour trade
and they are only making about malt
time or a little over half time Flour
is advancing and our loaf is getting
smaller.
The coal miners are not making as
good time as was anticipated. The
market mines keep a small number OF
miners at work and supply the local
trade.
The price of coal being cheap, there
IS pretty strong market for 1t in this
city. The merchant miners have not
had very strong trade, and conse-
Quently the miners have not had very
good time and their wages are not
large.
There is some stir among the build
ers at this time and considerable prom
Use for the better weather. Messrs.
Jones & McGraw are at work on a
large double frame tenement house for
Mrs. Charles Bertram, on Gravel Hill.
w. J. Morrison has contracted with
Harry Burrows for a dwelling house on
the Dr.. Mcclellan lot, in the Fourth
ward, now owned by G. w. Deyerman,
of which Mr.. Morrison has purchased
part.
The members Of st. Johns Church
are raising money by subscription to
release the lien on their new schooi
house in the Fourth ward and to finish
building 1t. They have met with
splendid success so far, and think work
can begin on 1t soon.
There is a new front being put in
the store room just south of the Globe
Hotel. Several other new fronts are
being put in. or are about ready for
work to begin on them.
