A STUDY ON HEALTH.
One Years Figures from the City's
Mortality Records.

According to the mortality figures on
record in the board of health depart
ment there We're 1854 deaths reported
in the city last year, 1861 births $50
cases of contagious diseases and 102
deaths from contagious diseases.
The most fatal months We're July and
August in the order named, and the
least fatal We're February and October
as named. May and September We're
the banner months for births, while
June was remarkable for its failure
to increase the population to any great
extent The largest number of con-
tagious diseases reported was in De-
cember and the smallest number in
May.

Clay avenue and Vine street was
sounded.
The pitiful struggle of the horses at
tached to the heavy Phoenix chemical
and Century and Crystal hose appara-
tus was another of the many similar
incidents of the inadequate fire protec-
tion for the "lIill' district. The spec
tacle of firemen alighting from the
wagons and walking in order to relieve
the pulling, blowing horses is a spectac-
le not often seen in a city of Scranton $
size. Yesterdays and other fires on the
Hill are constant arguments for the
establishment of a fire company in the
district referred to.

the house occupied by S. NJ. Withers
and family at 1919 Vine street, The
flames were eXtinguished by the hand
chemical apparatus attached to the
Relief hose wagon.
The child gained access to the cellar
and amused itself by thrusting paper
and rubbish into the furnace, The lit
tie one removed some of the charred
rags and embers, threw them on a pile
of refuse under the stair and left the
spot. The pile burned slowly until it
reached the stairs which became ig-
nted and filled the cellar with smoke.

the estate bought the contract and pro-
