OYSTERS ARE BLAMED.
Typhoid Fever in Orange Said to Have Come
from BivaIves.

An outbreak of typhoid fever III
Orange is believed to have been caused
by contaminated oysters. Many cases
reported from different sections of the
city have been investigated by the
Board of Health and it is declared the
sufferers have been made i'll by oysters
procured from n bed lying in water
tainted with typhoid abcilli.
The board does not hold the local
dealers responsible for the outbreak,
for the oysters were undoubtedly pur-
chased by them from wholesalers i'll
good faith. Secretary Schiller, OF the
board, gives it rs his opinion that a
number of oyster beds along the New
Jersey coast should be abandoned Eat
once because some of them are near
the mouth Of streams that are severed
into.

Eagles Mere Boat Carnival.

Last Thursday evening the annu-
al boat carnival took place at Eagles
Mere and proved an immense sue
cess. Before eight O'Clock the boat
landings We're alive with people
while everything that would float
was being utilized on the water,
making wondrously pretty scene
as the boats gathered to compete for
the prizes.
Myriads of vari-colored lights re-
tiected from hundreds of fancy lam
terms made the scene as beautiful be
low as above the water, for the lights
cast their reflections into the very
depth of the Lake.
The judges occupied a position in
the prov of the steamer Iroquois.
They were j. H. Mcfarland, Noble
Baker, w. II. Minch, H. c. Dries
bach and j. II. DeVictor. After the
various boats had passed in review
the judges made their awards as fol-
lows: First prize, a magnificent low
ing cup, to the Raymond float, which
was reproduction of a scene in
''The Chinese Honeymoon" which
was decidedly novel. Second prize,
a magnificent candelabra, to the For
est Inn float, which presented stage
upon which was reproduced the fa-
nous circus of ten days ago. Third
prize, silver bon bon dish, to the
Lakeside exhibit, which consisted of
two boats, in one of which rode un-
Gle Sam and Columbia, while the
other showed hospital scene in the
United States army, with wound
ed soldier, Red Cross nurses, etc.
Fourth prize, a big box of marsh
mallows, was won for the permanent
residents of Eagles Mere by C. A.
Brink, his float representing house.

Merl Hembury Instantly Killed

WARNING NOT NEEDED.
The Lykens Colliery the Scene Of Dis
tresSinS Accident Thursday.

A fatal accident occurred on Thurs
day, at the Lykens Colliery operated
by w. B. Gunton, at Bernice, which
resulted in the death of Merl, the ID
year old son of Robert Hembury, of
Mildred, Pa.
Merl had left the screen room un-
noticed by the boss and was in quest
OF tobacco, approaching the oiler
boy, Frank Held whom he asked for
chew. Frank cautioned him not
to cross the conveyor line as he
might get caught in it, and told him
to wait a minute and he would bring
some up to him; but he did not heed
and attempted to cross over the con-
veyors when his Jacket caught and
drew him in the machinery and kill
ing him almost instantly.
The machinery was stopped as
soon as possible, but life was extinct.
His body was nearly severed and
badly crushed, and was sad sight
to behold. 1t required nearly an
hour to release his body as the ma
chinery had to be taken apart before
it could be gotten out.
Merl was a bright boy, but like
many others, was too venturesome
and approached danger which cost
him his life

EAGLES AERE.

The p. O. Club is yet exercised
over the attempt to injure its credit
in financial circles, and the members
are busy hunting up libel law to see
how much damage they are entitled
and how they are going to get it.
The club is really making things hot,
and if you see Silas around pricing
the cost of peanut roasters you may
be sure that he is trying to settle the
case out of court.
The Club passed the following the
other night, calling it Resolution,
but as you see it is really only non
sense verse:
THAT UNGRATEFUL He.
All winter He roasted his toes,
On the P.O. Club S hot stoves,
Had access to the Peanut Roaster,
Even went free on the Club coaster.
Now by reckless, scandlous, impu-
tation,
He attempts to ruin our fair repu-
tation,
So we hereby "Resolute' him to
thunderation,
And a long life with Carrie Nation!
After all the p. 0. Club is but IA
fanatic. The club now intends to
buy the Bear Swamp and build a
town after their own heart. The
plan is not fully matured but it is
intended to give it some high sound
ing name; only the following ones
being suggested the other night
"Katawalka," "Chattysduakka,"
and "Battawaqua." Numerous
buildings will be erected. There
will be drain at least five inches
wide cut through the swamp, to in
sure perfect dry ground to build up
on. The chapel will be as least
four hundred feet from the dancing
pavilion, so that the chapel choir
will in no way disturb the dancers,
and when possible the meetings will
be held at times which do not con-
fiict. All sorts of shows will be CIV
en- special rates, or passes over the
Bucks Woods road, and nothing will
be turned down in the way of amuse-
ment from monkey in red cap to
a Governor with a muzzle. Much
attention will be given to Education
with capital "E'') a fine Columbia
Phonograph being placed in every
available space, which will teach
everything from A. B. c. to classic
Hog Latin. The Art building will
be a magnificent affair and will con-
tain several fine camel's hair brushes
and a barrel of ready-mixed paint.
A number of well known and able
preachers of the Gospel will be in
duced to deliver discourses but great
care will be taken not to allow their
talk to in any way interfere with
the pleasure of the excursionists Wis
iting the grounds-but anon Your
correspondent has not been able to
get the complete scheme as yet. Oh
yes, one more remark, the County
Commissioners will be given passes
Gf they will only accepD and be re-
Iy,.Is
ing times on the grounds, for one
whole day, free of cost, so that they
will be able to see for themselves
that it is a Religious and Education
al concern and so make the assessed
valuation at the proper rate.

Reports from Placerville tell of q
number of hold ups near there. Last

Novel Idea For Picnic.

The Phenix Republican gives an ac-
count of a progressive picnic party
recently given near that city, repe-
tition of which might afford some
pointers to Prescott young people:
can evening outing was planned to
include several couples for drive in
as many rigs in chosen spot where
supper was to be eaten al fresco and
the return made by brilliant moon
light.
''To give novelty to the outing it
was decided to make the drive a
progressive one. That is, partners
we're chosen for the start Wednesday
evening, after the men had left offices
and business At given signal the
rigs we're stopped and each lady
alighted to take her place in the We
vehicle next ahead, the one at the
head going to the end of the process
sion. One of the changes was made
at the asylum, and when the half
dozen runabouts and buggies we're
lined up in the Tempe road there was
more bedlam than usual in that vi
cinity. Each vehicle carried a share
of the good things for supper, which
was spread and enjoyed at a chosen
spot on the banks of the cross cut
canal. The final progression on the
return trip was made so that original
partners we're reunited for the drive
home, and the party voted the prog
rsesive drive great scucess.

A YOUNG WOMAN
TIRED ON LIFE
Takes a Dose of Laud-
anum at Poland.
Found Dead in Her Bed on Monday
No Known Motive For
Suicide.

Mrs. Rae Hampston, a woman y
years old, was found dead in her bed
at Poland yesterday about IL 30
O'Clock. A coroner's jury rendered q
verdict that she came to her death
from an overdose of laudanum.
Her husband is a miner and left
Poland on Sunday for Congress to Sc
cure work. On Sunday evening Mrs.
Hampston went into the store of the
Poland Extension company's store
and asked for a bottle of laudanum.
The manager of the store asked heI
for what purpose she wanted it and
she stated that she intended to make a
solution of it, with which to battle
her feet, which we're swollen and pain
full. On this representation the poison
was sold to her, and nothing more was
seen of her until at the hour above
stated on Monday morning when she
was found dead, the indications being
that death was painless aud without a
struggle.
The empty bottle which had con-
tanned the laudanum was found under
the pillow and every indication was
that she had taken the drug with sui
cidal intent, although there was no
known cause why she should desire to
end her life, as far as the Journal
Miner could learn. Mr.. Hampston
was in Prescott when the telephone
message announcing her death was re-
ceived, intending to leave for Con-
gress last evening, and on receipt OF
the news he Immediately returned to
Poland.
The remains of the dead woman
were brought into Prescott on this
mornings train and will be buried in
tho camaterV here
