The books of the city clerk show 81
deaths from typhoid fever recorded
since the epidemic began. late in the
fall, and it is known that there are
quite number of deaths not yet re-
ported. There have been a few over
200 cases of the disease reported to the
local Board OF Health in that time. It
is felt that the epidemic has now pref
ty well run it's course, as few new cases
have been reported in the past two or
three weeks. The greater part of those
now sick are getting on well toward re-
covery. though several are still very
seriously sick. The going out of the
ice and the flushing of the Kennebec by
the heavy spring rains have improved
the condition of things in the river,
and Augusta citizens may feel that the
worst is over and that the health con-
ditions will rapidly improve. Outside
of the typhoid and scarlet fever cases.
there is now very little sickness in the
city.

AN IMPORTANT PURCHASE.
All the FIowase Rights of Parker Pond
Purchased by w. e. Rose,

Mr.. Walter E. Rose of Greene, was
| in the city, last evening, and in CONVEX
sation with Journal reporter, stated
that he had completed the purchase of
the splendid water power at Parker
pond, including the complete fiowage
rights around it's shores. The magni-
tude of this task will be appreciated
when it is stated that the accomplish
ing of this result involved the passing
of no less than 43 titles. In this work
Mr. Rose was assisted by M. j. Googin
of Lewiston, one of the ablest operators
in this line of work in New England.
Mr.. Rose speaks in the highest terms
of the skill and diplomacy shown by
him in helping carry through success
fully this big deal. At the mouth of
David pond, which flows into Parker
pond, are two mills. One is a saw mill
and short distance below is a grist,
single and clapboard mill. Both of
these mills have been included in the
purchases of Mr.. Rose. There is no
question but what, in securing Parker
pond with all it's f1oWage rights, Mr..
Rose has gained control of one of the
best water powers in Maine. The foot
of the pond is at West Mt Vernon,
where already there is a dam IL feet
in height From here the pond eX-
tends north into Vienna. On the west
shore are the towns of Fayette and
Chesterville. The pond is six miles
long and three miles wide, affording
storage for an immense body of water.
All the islands in this pond some IA
in number, are included in the pur-
chases of Mr.. Rose and he has, in adj
dtion to flowage rights, secured a con-
siderable amount of timber land in that
section.
Mr. Rose and Mr.. Googin started in
on the work of securing these titles, the
first of last January, and only COM
pleted their task last week. Naturally
they feel well pleased at the success
of their efforts. All the deeds We're
made by w. HI. Newell, Esq, Of Lew
iston, who will be in Augusta, the pres
ent week, to have them recorded.
Just what Mr.. Rose proposes to do |
with this splendid power he was not |
prepared to state, further than that he |
has plans in view which contemplate |
it's early development. One cannot es |
cape the conviction, however, that back |
of this important purchase are business |
projects that will contribute in no |
small degree to the business prosperity |
of this section of the State.

spread of the disease from con-
valescent patients

AUGUSTA SEWERS.
What Has Been and Probably Will Be
Done for Their Improvement.

| A large number of petitions for new
sewers are now pending before the city
government, and the general opinion
appears to be that an effort will be
| made to do more in this direction the
present season than for number of
years past. The petitions are now in
the hands OF the committee, which will
give them it's early consideration. All
tie city sewers are now being built in
accordance with the plans made some
years ago, and, when completed, form
part of one general system. 1t speaks
we'll for the thoroughness with which
this work is being done that not a
single complaint has been made of
any of the sewers which have been laid
during the past few years. These
sewers have been laid deepen an
average seven feet which not only en-
abes them to drain the deepest cellars,
but gives them a pitch which largely
increases their capacity to handle
ENTHUSIASTICALLY during the season
of the spring freshets, and after
heavy rains. 1t also prevents any
trouble with the water mains which
lay at a depth of about six feet. These
new sewers are all laid on straight
lines. They are provided with man.
holes which render inspection quick,
easy and inexpensive.
In the case of the old sewers, 1t not
infreCuently happened that complaint
of an obstruction would be lodged by
some citizen. The cityscrew would dig
up the sewer only to find that it was
in good working order and that OBJ
struction complained of was in the
private sewer leading into it. In
vestigations of this kind were, 1eces-
sarily, slow and expensive. With our
new sewers all this is done away with.
BY the use of the manholes the Ques-
ton of an obstruction can be absolute
ly determined in an hours time.
Extra large and heavy tile pipe has
been used in the construction of these
modern sewers. 1t is made in Port
land, Maine, of a mixture of native
and Western clays, and is what is
known as the salt glazed, vitreous va
riety. It's smooth sides prevent any
Judgement of sewerage, and insure
swift and clean discharge of any main
constructed of it. A good start has
been made in this city for an up-to-
date system of sewerage. The natural
conditions are very favorable to its in
stallatfon. the work is being carefully
done. along definite and Intelligent
lines, and in a few years no city in
New England will be better equipped
in this respect than our own.
