THE BOARD
OF HEALTH |
Held a Regular Meeting In the Council
Chamber Last Night.
REPORT ON THE HOG QUESTION |
Health oflcer Conry Says There Are Two
Hundred in the Town, and All Must
be Disposed of Before December
15th--Cleaning the Creek.

The first regular meeting Of the Board Of
Health, since its reorganization, was held
last evening in the Council chamber Messrs
Spalding Malone, Holman, Schmidt and
Morrison vera in attendance. In the absence
Of J. w. Curtin, the secretary, who is out of
town, Mr.. Carroll served as temporary secre-
tary.
The neurology report for the month of
August showed AZ deaths aud 2 still births
of the entire number of deaths % were due
to cholera infantum, which shows that the
disease is prevalent to great extent among
the children. The secretary also issued 55
burial permits, 40 being local and nom
resident. The non-resdents were from
Sheppton, Park Place. Forrestville and VIM.
Penn
The reading of the report of Health Officer
Conry then followed. Beside the abatement
of 16 nuisances he also presented the names
of 81 residents of town who were guilty Of
violating the hog ordinance. The total num-
Der of swine owned by the yiolators are 200
and are all confined within the borough
limits. George Leitzel, who alone owned 46.
has removed them to his farm at Little
mountain, in the valley
AT recent meeting held by the Borough
Council it was decided TO enforce the hog
ordinance. The question of hardship arose.
1t was stated that it would be an imposition
on the poor people of town to compel them
to kill or dispose of the swine in hot weather.
This led to lengthy discussion to bring
about time limit when to enforce the
ordinance. 1t was decided to fix the date at
December 18th, to allow all owners of hogs
within the borough limits to dispose Of them.
The Health Officer was notified not to tolerate
the nuisance after that date, and should any
violation arise prosecution will be brought.
A bill was then presented by J. J. Bradigan
for part payment in the work done in clean
ing the Shenandoah creek. The amount of
the bill is S662.50 or half payment on the en-
tire amount of the contract according to the
agreement Health officer Conry was cues
toned as to how much of the creek had been
cleaned. He stated that the job was more
than half completed. The request of Mr.
Bradigan for au order to the amount asked
for was not granted because the contract and
the bond furnished was in the hands of Sec
retary Curtin and could not be inspected for
information of the members. In view of this
the Board did not deem it advisable TO paw
the bill. Mr.. Conry was instructed to get
possession of the necessary documents and to
notify President Spalding who will then call
a special meeting to take action on Mr.
Bradisan's bill In the meantime the Bor-
ough Solicitors opinion will also be obtained
The meeting then adjourned.

RUNAWAY TRAIN.
what Disaster It Might Have Accomplished
is Beyond Question.

At 1890 o'clock this morning the residents
along the Lehigh Valley railroad in town
were aroused from their slumbers by a ter
rible noise. 1t was runaway traiu of
loaded coal cars which broke loose at Deano
and passed through town at a reckless rate of
speed The runaway occurred while a
Lehigh valley crew was making up a train at
Delano, when the cars got beyond control and
broke loose in two sections The grade gave
them a rapid descent Before any Of the
crew could board them they had sped down
the grade at a rapid rate
The runaway train had a clear track until
the East Centre street crossing at the Lehigh
Valley depot was reached. Here they mar
rowly escaped running down team driven
by two young men, The horse had already
crossed the westbound track when the ap-
proach of the cars was noticed Their escape
was miraculous The nose of the horse
grazed the first car
When the train reached the foot of Market
street, an axle on one of the cars broke and
caused the derailment of three cars. They
were entirely demolished and the coal was
scattered along the tracks The derailment
caused a collision with an clubhouse on the
property of John Mcdonald close to the
track, which was smashed into kindling wood
This caused another break in the section
and the cars sped on to Brownsville, where
they ran up the steep grade for some distance
on the branch to Shamokin. After coming to
stop they backed down the grade again until
the level in the bend of the tracks was
reached
A miner named Florian Burnatelus and re-
siding at 4l0 South Pear alley, was struck by
flying wood from the cars when the collision
with McDonald's oHthouse occurred. He was
returning home from work, and sustained
fracture of an arm between the shoulder and
elbow. 1t was reduced by DIR. Stein, and the
patient was sent to the hospital

was fatally shot at an early hour in the

who mistook the girl for a burglar.
The girl came home from church en-

went to the house OF Grove and knock

and receiving no reply he fired through

This afternoon the FIRE alarm sounded from
box S5. The fire was in the house of William
BObbin, 104 North Market alley, adjoining
George Folmer's stable. The origin of the
fire is not positively known, but it is sup
posed that it was caused by a child who car
ried kerosene oil can too near the stove.
The child dropped the can in its fright and
escaped being burned. The baring oil spread
on the door and soon the kitchen was ablaze.
The fire, however, was extinguished with a
few buckets of water,
