COAL ORDERED
Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany Buys 10000 Tons
Of Hard Coal.
NEW CRATES FOR FERRYBoAYS
Use OF "soft" Prohibited by.
New York Health Board
and Company Orders
Changes Made.

Mr.. T. L. Sheppard. general superil-
tendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, today sent word to the Health
authorities in New York City that he
had succeeded in purchasing 10000 tons
of hard coal for use on the Twenty third,
Desbrosses and Cortlandt streets aud
Annex lines.
The coal bought win keep the boats
supplied for about three months. It IS
a small sized coal, and until the CRATES
of the Desbrosses and Cortlandt streets
boats are altered it cannot be used on
them. New CRATES are being ordered and
the factories are working overtime to
have them ready as quickly as possible.
Crates for the use of the small coal
are already in use on the Brooklyn An
mex and Twenty street boats.
This action of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road was taken because of a complaint
by the New York Health Board that the
the company was using soft coal Com
missioner Lederle of the Board issued
an order that within five days the boats
must stop using the coal. 1t was eN-
planned to him yesterday that the railroad
company were changing the CRATES on
their boats so that hard coal could be
used.

Masons and Plasterers National Union,
which has no county afiliation, seems
at last to be in fair way of settlement
and it is predicted that before another
month all union plasters of the county
will be enrolled in the first named or

The Operative Plasterers have always
maintained that their trade organization
should be separate and distinct from
any other, and several conflicts, especial
ly in the southern part of the county,
have resulted over the question of jnris-
diction. Recently several conferences
have been held with the result that an
agreement has been practically reached
by which the plasterers affiliated with
No. 13 will join No. 20.
A special meeting of Local No. % to
take final action on the matter of the

Is It a wonder that we have smallpox
IN the HorseshoeT' said one Of the best
known residents in that neighborhood.
This remark was made after "The
News had printed its last article rela-
tive to the condition of the Ninth street
meadows.
Il wish you would go little farther
uptown and see what you find around
Thirteenth street .
A shocking condition of affairs GER
tainly exists at the section named. The
meadows here resemble very much the
Ninth street morass, but more danger
of sickness. if possible, is run by the
residents around Thirteenth street than
is by those at Ninth street. At the bot
tom of the hill. situated near Thirteenth
street, is a natural well, which, for years,
has been used by the residents OF TINS
section for drinking water. This well
can plainly be seen from the yiaduet
going from Thirteenth street to the Hill.
The water at most times seems to be
clear and sparkling, out it is full OF dis-
ease. At times when the tide IS hlgh
and after heavy rain, the water lying
in the swamp rises sufficiently to over
flow the sides of the well and run into
it. rhe well water is not drunk while
it is in this condition, but when the water
becomes clear again it is again used for
drinking.
This overiowing has been done for
years, and, in consequence, certain
amount of filth is deposited every rain
fall and settles to the bottom of the
well.
Running into the swamp at Eleventh,
Twelfth and Seventeenth streets are
open sewers from the Hill which bring
all. the dirt and filth down from that
section. This includes all of the waste
material from Christ Hospital Some
time ago the limb of either man or
woman was found on the meadows not
far from this well. Until this con-
dition of affairs is reInedied the health
of the residents of the Horseshoe will
be in constant danger and an epidemic
of some dangerous disease liable at any
moment.
