SANCES ABATED-ALL PLUMB
ERS BUSY

CthO DUO
Sanitary conditions are being care
fully watched here now. The new or
ganization of the Board of Health has
proved not only effective, but econom-
ical. With an increasing number of
inhabitants, the city is spending less
money than was expended under the
old form of the Board of Health.
Meantime the hygienic conditions
are being more carefully attended to
ana more sanitary precautions are be-
ing employed than ever before in the
history of the city. STILL DR.. c. f.
Newbill, health commissioner. is dis
OF the streets. In speaking with n re-
porter Tor the Virginian-Pilot yester-
day, he said that Henry street is one
that needs particular attention, and
James and Smith streets are others.
me reason for solicitude concerning
ali OF them is that they must be kept
clean In order to preserve the health
or the persons who live in them But
Tor Henry street there is the addi-
tional reason of the number of strang-
ers who go through that street on the
way to and from Ocean View station.
There are four sanitary officers, two
of them policemen. constantly on duty
in suppressinS nuisances and in com
pelling citizens to comply with the
city ordinances regarding sanitary
plumbing. These officers have n great
deal of trouble to enforce regulations
concerning the use of water and pro
viding for sewer connections But
they have worked so efficiently of late
that all the plumbers in the city are
busy
Many of these nuisances were neg
lected during the time when the Board
of Health was exercising such vigil
lance to prevent an epidemic here
The sanitary officers employed the
greater part of their time hunting
suspects among the negroes who were
too poor or too uniformed to take
care of themselves. That caused such
an extraordinary number of nuisances
to accumulate that, when the sani-
tary officials turned their attention to
the physical conditions of the city
again. they found portions OF the city.
particularly the Fourth ward, in need
of many plumbing repairs. of drainage
and of other means of abatinE nuis-
ances. Over 1000 nuisanccs have been
abated.
AS II result, the health of the city is
excellent. During the two periods of
excessive heat here but one case of
prostration by heat was published
Six horses were reported to have died
because of the excessive heat. But
even those horses were probably more
enfeebled by age than afflicted by the
weather. However that may be- the
health of the city is excellent now
and there never was such activity
among the sanitary officers. never
such busy times for the plumbers.
With the improvements the Street.
Sewer and Drain Board is making
and those which arc contemplated for
street paving and drainage, this city
is rapidly becoming the most hcalthful
of scaShore Summer resorts. the safest
and most equally delightful Winter
home.

PAvEMENrs FOR YORK STREET.
CONTRACTS LET FOR A COBBLE-
STONE FOUNDATION AND
ASPHALT SURFACE

York street is to be re-paved. A new
plan was adopted by the Street, Sewer
and Drain Board and the contract was
arranged in the City Engineers office
yesterday.
York street is now paved with cobble
stones of an uneven temperament. But
these will he taken up and relaid as

The contract let yesterday provides
that the city shall pay 80 cents
square yard for taking up the cobble
stones and relaying them. They are to
be rolled with q heavy steam roller in
order to make as regular a surface as
possible and a solid foundation for the
asphalt finish.
The asphalt Is to cost SLIGO n square
yard. Thus York street will be as
phalted from Boush to Atlantic City

cobble stones. as foundation. is
cheaper than the concrete foundation

Now Cumberland Street M. e.
Church.

The new Cumberland Street NJ T..
Church, now in course of erection on
the corner of Freemason and Cumber-
land streets. is rapidly assuming pro-
portions. The side walls TO the main
auditorium are nearly ready to receive
the girders for the roof. which the me-
chanics hope to be able to put in po-
Sition next week. The Orders to the
lccture-room. which is in the rear OF
the main building, are nearly all up,
and the boarding to receive the roof is
being placed in position. 1t is thought
that this portion of the ediflce will be
completed before Christmas. and that
the entire structure will be finished
early in 1901. The new church, when
completed, will be handsome and i'm
posing structure. The front on Free
mason and the side on Cumberland
street is being built of Granite. and the
west and south walls are of the best
brick. Rev. DR. Johnson. to whom
much credit is due for having carried
his plans to such a success, is giving
his personal supervision to the con-
struction of the building. He says
that when the church is finished and
ready for dedication every dollar will
be paid on II. The building complete
will cost about $4,000.

LAWYERS IN PRINCE CASE.
MIR. P. ]. MORRIS RETAINED TO
ASSIST IN PROSECUTION.

MIR. p. j. MORRIS RETAINED TO
ASSIST IN PROSECUTION.
The family of Charles ]. Cannon,
who was killed last Friday by Captain
M. II. Prince, has retained Mr.. P. j.
Morris to assist in the prosecution of
Captain Prince. Mr.. Morris has had q
conference with members OF the fam
lily, but refuses to say anything about
the case. further than to say that 1t
will surely be tried /, in the United
States Court. This will pit District
Attorney Allan and Mr.. Morris against
Judge T. II. Wilcox and Hon. r. I.
Thorpe. Mr.. Allan is thorough pros
ecutor. and fights hard to let no guilty
man escape justice. while Mr.. Morris
is equally vigilant as a prosecutor and
defendants lawyer. He was largely
instrumental in the conviction of Jus
tice o. /. Flemming after there had
been mistrial in his case.
The lawyers who will defend Captain
Prince are among the best in the city.
1t is safe to say that they will be pre-
pared to wage IL stubborn battle in the
United States Court when the case
comes to trial.
There is some talk of the defense
taking advantage of the alleged ir-
regularity in the post mortem exami-
nation of MIR. Cannon's body. 1t is
claimed that the autopsy held by DR..
Miller at the undertaker's, after the
coroner's jury had rendered it's YER
dict, was not regular.
