Sanitary Conditions.

ct will be seen that sanitary conditions
at our military posts in time of peace. as
Judged by the typhoid death rate. compare
fayorably with those in our large cities
in various parts of the country. AS
matter of fact, great attention has been
given to post sanitation for many years
past, and through the persistent efforts OF
officers of the medical department great
improvements have been made, especially
during the past ten years. The result Is
shown In a reduction of the typhoid NOR
tality from 1903 per 100000 in the ten years
ending in 1887 to So per 100000 in the decade
ending in 1887.
Typhoid fever in our camps has been
to a large extent due to the neglect of
well-known sanitary measures; also TO a
very general failure upon the part of med
ical officers attached to regiments TO rec
ognize the disease in its milder forms and
during its earlier stages. AS a result OF
this the camps became infected, and the
failure 20 use proper methods of disinfec-
ton and the continued occupation of in
fected camps have led to the develop
meut of veritable eDidemics of typhoid
fever in several Of the camps occupied by
our frOOf)s.

UNNECESSARY INQUESTS.
Coroner BIeiIer Makes His Returns for the
Month of June.


Coroner Bleiler is not getting any salary
just now. In fact he is not earning any. 1t
takes all of the earnings of his office to pay
the big force OF deputies he is compelled to
maintain, through mistaken idea that il is
not honorable for a public official to save
money to the taxpayers, if the law does not
specifically direct him to do so. The Cor
oner's deputies, however, are trying to earn
as much as they can and in this way no
chance is missed to hold an inquest whether
it is necessary or not.
He made his returns for the month of
June. As far as can be learned not one of
the sixteen inquests were held by the
Coroner. The total earnings were S191 80,
of which S132 was for viewing the bodies
and summoning juries; $500 was for mile
age and S25.75 for examining witnesses.
1t seems pretty tough on the witnesses,
that while they receive no pay for attend
ing inquests and giving testimony, the
county pays some one for examining them.
The total amount of fees does rot include
the jurors fees, which is at least S96.
OF the sixteen cases not half dozen were
of a character that called for Coroner's
inquest There were six mine accidents,
but most of them were plainly accidental
and this could have been determined without
the expense of empanelling jury. One
case was that of a woman in FOrrestville,
who died of apoplexy, and there was no
suspicion of foul play. The body of still
born infant was subjected to an inquest at
Landingville. The doctors testimony was
sufficient for the jury and his certificate
would have saved the expense of an inquest.

The undersigned have realized that you

its merits. Now, if you think your team is a
present century wonder, we will put you to a

talks now days. We will play you for
any amount you may produce, as we would
like very much to make, well, say $50, OF
more. We would appropriate this money to
replace clothes which were taken from the
players while playing at Frackville on July

CHILDREN
IN PERIL !
Three Narrowly Escape Being Run
Down by Car.
An UNKNOWN PASSENGER A HERO
The Car was on a Heavy Grade and Could
Not be stopped Young Girl with
Infant in a Carriage and One
walking Were Threatened.

Three children had a narrow escape from
being run down by a car Of the Schuylkill
Traction Company last night. near the
Kohinoor colliery. The affair caused great
excitement and several passengers in the car
almost tainted when they took in the real
situation.
The car was running from the bridge that
spans the Lehigh Valley railroad to the Coal
street line, and had just rounded a sharp
curve ON the approach to the steep grade and
curve near Coal street, when hotorman
Amour noticed girl ahead on the track,
pushing a carriage containing child. and
with a small child walking at her side
Amour shut off the current and applied
the brake. st the same time ringing the foot
gong vigorously. The child who was in
charge Of the carriage, apparently about nine
years old, appeared to become so frightened
that she lost her presence of mind and in
stead of leaving the track. continued di-
rectly ahead of the approaching car which
had reached the grade and was quite close to
the imperiled children. As the crisis appeared
at hand man Jumped from the front platform
of the car. ran ahead with all possible speed
aud rescued the children. He first pushed
the girl and baby carriage from the track,
and then removed the smaller child that was
walking. The identity of this passenger has
not been learned. The rescue was made not a
moment too soon. as the car slid down the
grade and was brought to stop just at the
place where the carriage was pushed off, and
Just after the last child was taken from the
track. As the children appeared about to be
crushed by the car the women passengers
threw themselves back into their seats and
covered their faces with their hands and
screamed in horror. The excitement was in
tense and MotOrman Amour was completely
unnerved when he found his warnings were
being unheeded and the steep grade pre-
vented him from stopping the car. Nothing
but the prompt action of the passenger who
was on the front platform of the car saved

Carneuie Company VIII Furnish $780,
100000 Worth of steel Plates.
Pittsburg, July 19.-The largest order

one firm to another was consummatsd
here yesterday, when the Pressed Steel
Car company made a contract with the
Carnegie Steel company for the de-
livery to the car company of 1000 tons

of the contract for ten years.
The Pressed Steel Car company con-
trolls practically all the patents and is

four large plants-in Allegheny, Pitts
burg, Joliet, Ills, and McKee's Rocks
The last named plant is not yet COM
pleted, but will be before many weeks.
When this is finished the company
will have a capacity of $500 completed

Attempted Train WFecking Charged,
Hazleton, Pa, July 19,-John Brosak,
aged Is years, was arrested at Freeland
yesterday and committed to jail in de-
fault of $500 bail to answer at court the
charge of attempting to wreck coal
train on the Delaware, Susquehanna
and Schuylkill railroad. Superinten-
dent Wagner alleged that Rrosak
placed a coupling link on the track of
the road, on the mountain, a short dis
tance from Drifton. Lewis Kluger,
engineer of the train, testified that he
caught Brosak in the act of placing
the link on the rail. The train was
at once brought to a standstill and
members of the crew pursued and
caught Brosak. The accused says he
found the link in the woods and care
lessly tossed it upon one of the rails.
He was about to remove the link when
the coal train approached.
