The pollution of Mahoning Greek

this stream, especially as relates to
the properties on West MahoninR

connect with the public sewer tile
West Mahoning street people would be
obliged to lay their pipe through un-

the Borough does not ask of them.
Before they can comply with Coun-

THE TRUSTEES
HOLD Meeting

The trustees Of the Hospital for the
Insane held meeting at the institu-
tion OH Saturday. Nearly a full board
was present as follows: W. L. Goug-

barre; DR.. B. H. Detweiler. of Will
Transport and Hon. NJ. H. Kulp, of Sha
mokin.
The trustees had expected to take
action on the erection Of the new
buildings at the Hospital, but were un-
able to do so. The plans and speoifioa-
tions for the Light and Power plant
we're not yet completed. This was
quite disappointment, as it is desir-
ed to construct the plant yet this sum-
mer and there is no time to spare. The
Board will reconvene in few days to
pass upon the plans. II they are ready.
The trustees also expected to act up
on the temporary buildings, five in
number, for which 1856. 900 was ap-
propriated by the last Legislature. But
three bids had been received. however,
and each of these was above the ap-
preparation. Action will be taken on
the temporary buildings when the
Board meets again.
The trustees Saturday contracted
with the New York Jewel Filtration
Company for the completion of the
filter system installed aJ the Hospital
over q year ago. But two tubs were
installed when the plant was built, as
that was as far as the appropriation
would go. The capacity Is some AGO.

needed in face of certain emergencies

tion is enlarged. In buildi ng, the plant
was made large enough to hold three

to be installed is covered by the speoi.
al appropriation Of 81. 800 made by the
last Legislature. The filter plant at the
Hospital has pow been in operation for
one year aud has been giving most ex.
oellent satisfaction.
The Board of Trustees looked over
the new barn on Saturday The build.
Ing is now rapidly approaching COM
pletion. The stating is not quite finish
ed on the roof and the floors are not
all laid, but there is no doubt but that
the structure will be ready for the
seasons crops.
The Trustees are much pleased with
the barn. None but the best of mater
ial has been used and 1t is very finely
finished. Danger Of FIRE hereafter will
be reduced to minimum, as the new
barn will be lit up by electric light
and there will be no occasion for the
carrying of either lantern or matches
about the building.

BURGLARS At
CLOCK FACTORY

The clock factory on Railroad street
was burglarized Monday night. It is
not certain. however, that anything
was stolen. although the thieves went
over the entire premises.
But very little Is being done at the
clock factory at present. Herman
Engelberg, the general foreman. is | n
New York City and during his absence
the factory is solely in charge Of
Charles Wagner, who is at the head.of
the assembling and adjusting depart
ment.
When Mr.. Wagner arrived at the
factory yesterday morning he found
the door at the main entrance broken
open. The burglars proved them
selves determined fellows, as the door
was securely fastened with Yale lock
and resisted all efforts to break it
open. 70 show what force was ap-
piled On the outside the door frame to
which the portion OF the lock was
screwed. that received the bolt was
badly splintered and broken, neoes-
sitating the insertion of new piece
before the door could be refastened.
All about the interior of the build
ing burned matches we're found strewn
over the floor, showing that the bur.
glars had been through every depart
ment. It is very difficult to tell wheth-
er or not the burglars stole anything.
There are a good many valuable tools
in the building but none of these. so
far as could be determined yesterday.
were missing. As relates to the large
stock of clocks, Mr.. Wagner is not so
certain. 1t is difficult. he says, to de-
termine at a glance whether any are
missing, but he is inclined to think
that none have been stolen. There Is
good deal of mystery about the at
fair. especially considering the hard
work that was required to force an en-
trance. What the thieves would ex-
peot to find in a building of that sort
is not clear.

DUCHESS as A SHOT.
Women Gaining Reputation for Fine
Shooting.

London, Oct. 14.-In yet another
sportsman's supremacy is threatened
by woman. There has been much talk
of fine shooting by members Of the
gentler sex. but the genuine nature Of
the rivalry has not been hitherto real
lied. A glance at the shooting record
of the Duchess of Bedford, would be
surprise to many men who feel them
selves secure from feminine competi-
ton. Her Grace's record Of 3, 427 head
of game in a single season shows that
the supremacy of man at the sport is
no longer a thing undisDuted. Wild
duck shooting in February is no child
ish sport. Patience, endurance. and
skill are needed to bring down twenty
nine birds with ffty-six shots, as the
Duchess has done

loader Indeed, there is nothing of the
modern "mechanicai" shot about the
Duchess of Bedford. She claims. witll-
out enthusiasm, to have brought down
more than zoe tame" pheasants IN a
day, and seventy at one stand. while
her prediction for snipe-shOOting by
herself, which she places only second
to grouse-driving, shows that she
shoots for the sport rather
than the bag. Nevertheless. she
has shot as many as 115 partridges in
a. single days driving. Until her mar
riage and return to England, the
Duchess had never fred a shot in her
life. but that the instinct for sport was
born in her is proved by her r9p pid adj
vance to proficiency as that to which
the figures bear witness. Another no.
blewOman whose prowess with the gun
is well-known is Lady Vivian. Al

time for disorderly conduct That
means that the expert driver who en-
dangers life ana limb in a crowded
tnOroughfare, while going at the very
conservative rate of four or five miles
an hour, is as liable to arrest every
BIT as much as the driver on a country
road who fails TO accommodate his
speed to the conditions of the road
such as the state of the road itself
and the travel upon it. Under this law
