were hurried to upper stories and in
many cases plans were laid for flight TO
higher ground In case OF emergency The
city engineering department was notified
of the undesirable bath that Dame Nature
seemed about to force on Fremont. and
the Inhabitants then settled TO await i'm
pending destruction
But the limit OF the rise came when
the surface of the lake stood two feet and
a half above It's regular mark, and then
held steady FOR awhile and fell back eight
inches. The outlet dam between Lake
Union and Salmon bay had been over
flowed and the town OF Fremont was
saved.
The rising OF the lake was due TO tho
blowing out, several nights ago of the
dam In the portage between Lakes Union
and Washington. The guilty party or par
ties used a stick OF dynamite IL liz not
known who is responsible for the destruc-
ton. but IL is said by city officials and
others who have examined the dam that
the only people who could re interested
In its removal are farmers in the White
River valley. These have always MAIN
tanned that the lowering Of the surface
of Lake Washington TO an equal with
that Of Lake Union would do much TO
make the semi-annual floods Of the White
River valley less severe.

At the special meeting of the board
of health called for last nioght, the
resignation of Attorney II. ]. Murray
as secretary of the board, was read
and Miss Nettie Sweeney until a week
ago clerk in the office, was elected to
the office of secretary.
The meeting was called to order by
President George S. Horn and the other
members of the board, NJ J. Kelly, w.
Il. OMalley, DR.. T. Il. Rodham and Dr.
George r. Reynolds, were all present.
Mr.. Murray read the minutes of the
last meeting and they were approved.
The reading of the minutes was Mr..
Murray's last official act.
AS soon as the minutes were disposed
Of. President Horn read the resigna-
tion of Mr.. Murray to take effect as
soon as accepted. Mr.. O'Malley moved
that the resignation be accepted and
this was done without comment Of any
kind. Mr.. Murray at once passed over
his keys to President Horn and pre-
pared to leave the room.
President Horn said he regretted the
resignation of Mr. Murray. He had
made a most capable official and he
was sorry to sec the board part with
| him.
When Mr. Horn had concluded, Mr..
| O'Malley moved that DR.. Reynolds act
as temporary secretary and this was
| agreed to. Nominations for secretary
were called for and Mr.. O'Malley nomi-
mated Miss Nettie Sweeney. Mr. Horn
nominated Anthony Bauman and gave
a number Of reasons why he thought
he should be elected.
Mr.. Kelly said he would vote for Mr.
Bauman because he felt that the posi-
| tion is one that should be filled by 6
man, as many matters come up fol
consideration at board meetings thai
it would be wrong to compel G
young woman to listen to. A vote was
taken and it resulted as follows:
Miss Sweeney-Mr. O'Malley, DIR
| Reynolds, DR.. Rodham-3.
! Mr.. Bauman-Mr. Horn, Mr. Kelly-2
Miss Sweeney was declared elected
and the board adjourned.

HIS SATCHEL STOLEN.
Deputy Marshal Clark Lowry Had
His Grip Taken from Peck
willie Car Last Evening.

A grip belonging to Deputy United
States Marshal Clark Lowry was taken
from a Peckvillc car last evening by
two Poles, who were subsequently ar
rested by Patrolman Peter Haggerty
on Cedar avenue, South Scranton.
Mr.. Lowry was coming from Peck
vile to this city and had with him q
large parcel and his satchel contain
ing, besides his wearing apparel, a re-
volver and two pairs of handouts. He
placed the parcel on the front end of
the car and sat on the rear end him
self. When the car reached the corner
of Franklin and LaCkawanna avenues,
he left the satchel on the seat and
started for the front to get his parcel.
When he reached his seat again, the
grip had disappeared and there was no
sign of any one with it in their possess
sion.
Mr.. Lowry Immediately notified po-
lice headquarters Of his loss and also
stated that he suspected two Poles,
who he had seen on the car.
In the meantime the two men had
gone to South Scranton and were no.
ticed by John a. Scheuer, who lives In
the 600 block of Cedar avenue
to drop a satchel in front Of his house
He informed Patrolman Peter Hagger-
ty of the fact and the latter jumped
on a car overtaking the pair on Birch
street. He ordered them to return
