The cap stones, which support the
weight OF the new Peddinghaus build
ing on Second stree were not strong
enough to uphold the heavy masonry
placed upon them, and were literally
crushed to pieces By the pressure Of
the immense mass. They were Berea
stones and were six inches thick. The
broken stones were taken out yester-
day and new ones, 16 inches
thick were substituted. 1t is estimated
that the stones had to support a
weight OF thirty-nine tons and consid-
ering the comparative thinness OF the
caps it is not at all surprising that
they could not endure the strain. The
work will probably be completed this
evening and the building will then be
ready for the handsome plate glass
front which will be put in.

Health officer Mcclure gave the fol-
lowing report OF contagious diseases,
which had been discovered by him
since the last meeting: Five cases of
typhoid fever, three of scarlet fever
and three of measles.
The sanitary policeman reported an
unusual number OF cases demanding
the Boards attention. Most of the
cases were in the First and Second
wards and the majority of complaints
were lodged agains restaurants and
hotels.

dumping the sweepings Of the streets
into the alley by the side of the church.
Great difficulty in obtaining the
proper sanitation from the owners Of
the several houses and places of busi-
ness was reported bv the sanitary po-
liceman. The question was raised
whether the Board was empowered to
compel the owners OF the Objectionable
places to fumigate their property. The
law on the question was read and it
was found that, in case the owners of
the Objectionable property refuse to
properly attend to their houses, the
Board could hire men to do the work,
report the charges to the Auditor, and
the result be added to the individuals
tax duplicate.
A motion to the effect that the Clerk
be instructed to notify the owners to
abate the nuisanccs on their property
in ten days was adopted.
The question of fumigating the
school houses to prevent the rise and
spread of infectious diseases was laid
on the table.
The salary of the Health Officer,
which was formerly IS per month, was
upon the recommendation of several
members OF the Beard, raised to $40
per month. The Board then adjourned.

HEAVY
And Dull was the Market on Mon

day.
Stocks dragged along through the
Monday session with but little activ-
ity or evidence of life.
Saturdays bad tank statement,
caused by the heavy gold shipments,
had a telling effect, which, coupled
with the report that heavy fighting
was in progress in the streets OF Pekin,
gave the bears an opportunity to ham,
mer prices, and they took advantage OF
it.
The two stocks most viciously at
tackled were Peoples Gas and Brook
lyn Rapid Transit, the former being
hammered down to 56h, and the latter
to 55ss. Sugar wa salso jumped upon,
and as a result it fell as low as 122A.
General Electric was a card for the
bulls, the stock selling uD to 14O&,
closing at that quotation The steels
were strong, and there seems to be
good evidence OF new activity in the
iron market.
Burlington sold ex-dividend at one
and a quarter, on the regular six per
cent basis. This stock held strong
throughout the session.
The total shares traded in numbered
191,74O Money loaned at one and a
quarter per cent.
Wheat showed weakness in smypa-
thy with Liverpool, which came one
quarter lower, helped along by the
increase in the visible supply. Corn
was strong, the visible supply showing
decrease OF more than two and a
quarter millions.
