CONCERNING CLEMSON
A Statement Made by the
Board of Trustees in Re-
gard to the Fever.

Clemson College, s. G., July O.
Concerning the report of the State
Board of Health in regard to the
fever at Clemson College. the Board
of Trustees make rhefollowipg state
ment
.'The Board of Trustees of Glenn
son College. mindful of the important
trust in their charge, feel called on to
make statement for the information
of the people of the State in regard
to the recent sickness at the college
and it's causes
We have read the report of the
State Board of Health, and have also
had under consideration the report of
the college surgeon. Dr.. Redfearn.
In addition to the light thus thrown
on the subject. we have made a per
sonal examination of the college
buildings and the surrounding
grounds, and we are not satisfied at
all as to the nature of the fever
which has prevailed or as to its
cause
..We have great respect for the
scientific ability and learning of the
State Board Of health, but we are
bound to question their conclusions.
from the fact that eminent physicians
in the neighboriDg counties have de
clared the fever at the college to be
malarial and not typhoid in its ma
ture and there is grave doubt
whether more than four cases of ty
phoid fever have been at the college
this year
1.-The cursory and imperfect exam
ination made by the State Board of
Health is shown by the fact that two
palpable errors are made in their re-
port. The dairy, which they place
under the ban as probable cause of
disease, was not built on pond
which had been filled in, and there is
not single privy on the surround
lug MUS NCOSC VIC Oahy bC Wa
ter from the only privy in the neigh
borhood reaches the ravine below the
dairy Then the statement is made,
three separate times that the water
closets should be outside the bar
racks and not inside, and should be
detached from them In fact. the
water closets were removed from the
building more than two years ago,
and they are now detached, with al
open current Of air passing between
They are now reached by latticed
gallery fifteen feet long, and there is
no possibility of sewer gas getting
into the building

will carry out all of their Tecommen-
dations that are possible, and leave
no stone unturned to allay all cause
of doubt as to the proper sanitation

May Not Arrest Without Warrant
Unless Present EAsn 0.6ense Vas
Committed.

A nice point Of law that may be of
interest to the various town councils
of the State was decided by Judge
Buchanan. Ben F Townsend had
been tried by the council for fighting
a short time ago in store. No po
lice had seen the difficulty he was
summoned to appear before council.
His attorney put up the argument
that he mad not been legally summon.
ed. and the council had no right to
try the case, as he was not pronerly
before the Court The council nned
him FIVE dollars He appealed.
The Judge held that the Mayors
Court only had the rights vested in
magistrates aud that unless a party
was seen by an officer of the law
while committing the ofense
or in a hot pursuit, that the
the party could not be arrested ex.
cept with a warrant sworn out by
someone. Mr. Sawyer, attorney,
made very forcible argument for
Townsend's side, and, after hearing
it, the Judge not only set aside the
mayors decision, but reversed his
own decision in similar case, in
which be had just sustained the

Turkey Defes the Powers.

Cons,antioople. July 5.-Cootrary
to expectations, the decision Of the
council Of ministers yesterday was not
favorable to the demands Of the ambas-
ssdors relative to the Greco Turkish
frootser oeeotiatous. The situation,
therefore, is sregarded as beiug very
strained, the Turkish reply virtually
implying rupture of the negotiations
and that the powers must make a con
oession or adopt measures tc enforce
their decision
1t is reported that the grand vi2ler
has declared 70 the sultan that he will
never aign an agreement based on the
strategic lines proposed by the ambas-
sadors. At the same time it is thought

that the usual dry weather flow may

The following conclusions have

tiouable that the prevailing fever is
typhoid
Second-That the open ,privies

There are several recommendations

THE BRIDGE AND THE BOAT.


 The canal boat, Howard Ward, be- longing to the Derby Transportation company's fleet, had it's "back broken as her skipper terms it, as the result of having come in contact Saturday with the Kimberly avenue bridge over West river. The boat was grounded under the bridge, and when the tide rose the boat rising with 1t broke the backbone of the bridge, and transportation over the bridge was delayed for hours, the electric car passengers being obliged to change cars. Teams were obliged to go by another route to and from West West Haven until the difficulty was over. The bridge was prepared in quick time after the canal boat got free. The electric railroad company let no grass grow under it's feet and had the tracks put in order in "jiffy," after the Or ange town officials had got the bridge mended The town employed c. t. Warehouse to repair the piling, and Superintendent r. c. Sherman of the New Haven Gas company had the dis connected gas main under the bridge replaced in position The gas consum- CTS in West Haven had trouble for hours with their gas supply owing to the broken main.
