Foundry COmpany's Office.

An unsuccessful attempt was made Satur-
day night TO blow open the safe of the
Carondelet Foundry Company at No. 2l23
South Kings highway. The footsteps of
the night Waterman, Joseph Pfiuger. who
was making his rounds OF the building. I'M
doubtedly frightened the burglars. and they
hurriedly made their exit through the win
dow by which they had entered.
About 9 o'clock the night Waterman en-
tered the office OF the company, and to his
surprise found a bul's-eye lantern, three

WANT BETTER CAR SERVICE.
South st. Louisans Complain of
Arbitrary MOtormen.

Ways and means to compel the Transit
Company to furnish better transportation
service for the public and the citizens of
South st. Louis in particular were the main
feature of discussion at the meeting of the
zenith Ward Improvement Association yes
terday. The report OF the Executive Com
mlttee, showing the nature of the improve
ments that have been accomplished through
the efiects OF the association, was present
ed and adopted.
Henry Faith presided at the meeting,
which was well attended. After the routice
business had been disposed of the question
or street railway transportation was
brought up for general discussion. Several
members declared that the service furnished
south st. Louis was poor and Inadequate
and suggested that the association take de-
ter mined action Immediately to compel the
Transit Company to provide proper accom-
modatons and to remedy the evils of the
present service. II the company refused to
do SO by moral ~suasion, il was suggested
that legal means be resorted to.
One Of the evils most bitterly complained
of is the practice of motormen of refusing
TO stop at crossings to take on passengers,
compelling patrons to wait for the follow
ing car. IL a blockade or breakdown or any
other circumstance has delayed their cars
beyond the regular schedule time. On mo-
tion OF Mr.. Deringer the Executive Commit
tee was instructed to appoint a subcom-
mittee to obtain evidence against all motor
men who refuse to stop to take OH passen-
gers. and to lay this evidence before the
city Attorney and demand that the Offend
ing motormen be vigorously prosecuted.
The report Of the Executive Committee
indicates that the association has been act
i've and untiring in securing permanent i'm
provements for the district. Many streets
and alleys have been improved. ewers con-
other ways the physical features of the dis
trict have been benefited and improved.

TO PREVENT SPREAD
OF TYPHOID fever.
Prussian State Railway to Inaugu-
rate Unique Precautions Against
the Dreaded Disease.

Dispatches from Berlin. Germany. state
that unique precautions are about to be
inaugurated by the Prussian State Railway
authorities to prevent the spread OF typhoid
fever. says the Railway Review. Prac-
tically every station will be turned into a
quarantine and every stationmaster made a
health officer.
In addition to orders to maintain scrupu-
lous cleanliness throughout depot premises.
the station masters are instructed to fur
nish the physician. who will henceforth ac-
company every through train, a detailed re-
port Of any typhoid cases in their towns or
any symptoms of possible cases.
IL fever conditions are found to exist the
stationmaster must furnish freshly boiled
water for the use OF passengers and the
train crews. He must also maintain tanks
Of sterilized water conspicuously marked for
the use of the travelling public.
The regular stationary drinking fountains
must be sealed up until the town has been
free from fever. The medical au-
thorities who nave framed these new regu-
lations assert that railway travellers and
railway coaches are among the most prolific
disseminators of contsgion.

OCTOBER RECORD BREAKER
IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY.

T, creased cost OF building material, and TO
such an extent that some contractors are
forced TO pay an advance over the regular
wage scales to secure necessary labor.
However. with all this apparent prosper
ity, architects in some of the cities are
complaining. They aver that their chief
trouble lies in their inability to induce prop
erty owners to erect good. substantial houses
and business blocks. They say that con-
struction is Of too cheap a character, and
that, in many Instances. it Is not OF a dur
able nature or Of such design as to con-
tribute to a city's just cause for architect
ural pride. Two cities in particular are
out cause.

Old Boiler Flue. for Fence Posts.

The Burlington and Missouri River Rail-
road during 1890 used 12.5D posts which We're
made by the company out of discarded boiler
nues, and In che two years preceding 1900
posts were made. The company discaris
from $500 to $500 fiues a year. and some TIME
AFRO the general superintendent. T. T.. cal
vert. conceived the idea of using these hues
for fence posts.
The road runs largely through prairie
country, and il is stimate that about 1899
wooden posts are burned every year by prdi-
RE fires. Experience shows that the fua
posts as made by the company cost from 10
TO 1919 cents each, depending on the scrap
value of the old fues. Red cedar posts
cost 12ia cents and oak posts 16 to 1871 cents.
The hues are cut to length and holes are
punched for attaching the wire: then they
are coated with tar and concrete bases are
attached to them. This latter process Is
carried on in batteries. each containing for
ty-eight moids. The fues are put in tho
molds and the concrete poured around, this
being made one part cement. three parts
sand. three parts stone chips or screened
broken stone. The stone used is from the
size of a grain Of corn TO that of a walnut.
