MR.. REINHARDT MAKES
HIS POSITION PLAIN
SAYS CITY Never Paid Any LAWYER to
Do His WOrk-AbOHt Wafer
Board Case

City Solicitor Reinhardt protests
against the impression made by recent
publications that he has neglected his
duties as City Solicitor, thereby caus-
ing the city to expend money to pay
attorneys to transact its business.
THE city has had to employ no at
torneys to do my work" said Mr. Rein
hardt this morning. The Water Board
case. of course. being between the two
city departments, made it impossible
for me to act on either side. This col
lection of taxes made by Mr.. Harman
was according TO a written agreement
made long before l came in, and as an
agreement. held good. There was no
way to get around it, Mr.. Harman
took the case after Mr.. Conrad said the
railway roadbeds could not be taxed.
He had an agreement to the effect that
if he won he was to get 80 per cent,
but If he lost he was to get nothing. He
won. and there was nothing to do but
paw him."

SAVED A STEAMSHIP
TRRN Ran ASHORE
YeOman Probably Will Lose The Sal
wage She Earned by Towing
The EreIa

After saving the Spanish steamship
Ereza from destruction by towing her
into the Delaware Breakwater ON last
Monday and earning a handsome sum in
salvage. the steamship Yeoman went
ashore herself on the point of Cape
Henry but was hoated later. The dam
age done TO her will however, offset the
salvage gained by saving the Ereza.
The Yeoman was proceeding from Gal
weston TO Liverpool when She fell in With
the disabled Ereza. The Yeoman took
the Spanish vessel in tow and exhausted
all her coal in the effort To bring her into
port. 1t was while going into Newport
News for a coal supply that the Yeomau
went ashore.
Two vessels are stranded I'm the locality
of Cape HenlOpen-the British bark \
b. Morris. from Rosario for Philadelphia
with bones, and the schooner Annie +
Bailey, with lumber The latter vesse
has eight feet of water in her hold TN,
y. b. Morris, in command of Captain
Stuart, left Rosario ON November "a Ia
den with full cargo of bones for Baugl
x Sons and early yesterday morning
while steering in for the Delaware capes
she was cast ashore by the high winds.
The Morris is owned in Parrsboro

URGES CLEANLINESS

h. j. MacLean. one of the instructors
of Goldey Collegs whose theory for the
suppression of smallpox has been
cleanliness rather than vaccination has
satisfied himself that his theory is COR
rect
Knowing that Tom l.. Johnson.
Mayor of Cleveland. Ohio, had stamped
out the disease In that city, Mr. Mac
Lean wrote to him for information as
70 how it was done. The letter of re-
ply has convinced Mr. MacLean that "a

Following Is a copy of the letter
Wilmington. Del, Feb. %, 1902.
Mr. r, j. Maolean.
Dear sir. Your favor of February 20
TO Mayor Johnson was referred TO me
for reply. We relied upon disinfeetion
mostly In order to get rid of smallpox.
AS the scourge had spread over a great
part Of the city. we were Obliged 10
dislnfect whole sections. and We dis
infected every house in an infected dis
trict no matter whether smallpox had
been within &c or not. We used q for
maldehyde generator TO do the work.
The proceeding is simple. Close a
room tight. open all doors 10 closets.
draw out all bureau drawers, spread
out clothing so as TO present the largest
possible surface. then set the machine
agoing, Milling the whole room with
formaldehyde gas The gas will injure
nothing. but is harmful TO house plants
and animal life.
Formaldehyde gas is sure TO kill the
poison Of smallpox wherever II finds it.
For three years Cleveland has been the
smallpox centre of the United States,
but since the general disinfection no
case has developed I'm Cleveland, al
though here and there a case has been
imported
Along with disinfection we employed
sanitary measures, !. q. we started a
house to house crucade against dirt
of any description. We enjOined peo-
pie 10 clean their Yards, barns and lots
to drain all mudpuddles and fll then
/ I'm. TO abate nuisance wherever Il ex,
isted clean all closets that needed
/ cleaning, make sewer connections
wherever there was a sewer in the
street. etc.
For about a month and a half lasi
spring we tried compulsory vaccination
/ but the results were not satisfactory
Frequently the virus would not take
but cause sepis. and such a vaccination
does not immunize against smallpox
On that account / dropped vaccination
altogether. although / am no anti
vaccinationist. and believe firmly thai
vaccination with the proper virus viii
protect against smallpox.
Hoping this will give you the desired

Yours truly.

precedent of Lord Roberts, who an
nounced General Cronje's surrender at

elected the same anniversary to
achieve bia success. by a combined
movement. lasting two days, against
the Boer forces within the Harrismith

This news was so welcome 20 the
British that It was read out in the
house Of commons yesterday by the
war secretary, Mr.. Broderick, from a
dispatch of Lord Kitchener. as fol
lows
"Harrismith Feb. 2S.-Yestcrday
the combined operations of the col
umns terminated in driving the Beers
against the Harrsmith and Van
Reenen block house. line. The River
Wilge was held by the Lelnster Regi-
ment, Illiott's Mounted Infantry, from
Harrismith while the columns formed
on the Frankfort and BOtha's Pass
block house line and advanced south,
holding the entire country between the
Wilge and the Natal frontier On the
first night there was a very severe at
tempt to break through the line. The
fighting was at close quarters, and
the Beers as usual drove a large herd
of cattle in front of them. Mamie
Botha the boy leader was killed, and
35 dead Beers were found on the
ground over 100 horses were killed
and 5000 head of cattle We're left in
our hands Other small attempts to
break out were made, and in two cases
succeeded. On the last day $50 Beers,
with rifles ana horses, We're cap
tured.
"All the columns have not yet re
ported. and the operations have been
very wide. but over GOO Beers have
been either killed or are prisoners in
our hands; also 1000 horses, 2S,00l
head of cattle, 200 wagons, 10000
sheep COO rifles and $4,000 rounds OF
ammunition. The prisoners include
General De Vets son and his secre
tary and Commandants Meyer and
Truther and several field cornets
These satisfactory results are very ap
propriate on the anniversary ol
Majuba."
A dispatch received last night from
Harrismith shows that General De
Wet and Mr.. Steyn were within the
net described by Lord Kitchener In
his dispatch, but escaped before the
line was completed.
Last nights dispatch also says thai
Colonel Rawlinson scored the biggest
success of the drive. He succeeded il
completely surrounding a laager o
400 Beers, and gave them one houl
in which to decide whether they woult
surrender or fight The Beers, find
ing escape impossible, surrendered a
discretion, and not a shot was fired.
