m m0n VOL. XYI. No. 91. PORT JERVIS, ORANOE COUNTY, N. Y., TUESDIY EVENING, APRIL 17, 1888. PRICE THREE CENTS LOCAL HEALTH MATTEHS. THE OLD AND NEW BOARDS OF HEALTH IN SESSION. Cases of Scarlet Fever Reported to the Board“ A Namljer o f B ills Bresented. The Lim it Allowed for the Fge of the Overseer of the Poor—The New Board Comes Into Existence. A meeting of the retiring Board of Health 'was held at the Corporation Rooms, Mon day evening. April 16’;h. There were present M. Depuy, Matthew Heitzmann and Dr. Swartwout. President Depuy reported that a com plaint had been made of a number cases of scarlet fever existing in the family of Mrs. Frank at 96 Ball street, that an in vestigation had been made by the health physician and complaint verified, and that on his report, in order to prevent the spread of the disease, Mrs. Frank had been ordered to discontinue receiving washing or doing outside washing or other work; that Mrs. Prank was a poor woman and was unable to pay for attendance and supplies and that a nurse had been em> ployed whose bill amounted to $7. Dr. Van Etten was present and pre sented a bill for making 10 visits and treating five cases of scarlet fever in the family of Mrs. Frank. He reported the patients improving. He thought he should • receive $2 a visit. On motion the Board certified to the Board of Trustees as to the correctness of the number of visits made but left the amount blank for the action of the said Board of Trustees. Poormaster M. G Beirne was present and stated that he had exhausted the $10 allowed him by the town in assisting Mrs. Frank, and that County Superintendent of the Poor Monnell would authorize an expendature of but $10 for supplies. On motion the bill of Mrs. DeGraw, for nursing amounting to $7, was audited and certified to the Board of Trustees as correct. A biU of Dr. Swartwout of $1 was audited and on motion B ;ard adjourned sine die. DAMAGED BY THE STORM. A Saw M ill Carried Away and Other De struction in Wayne Couniy. The Honesdale Herald says that the severe storm of Thursday night April 5th, played sad havoc in Oregon township. On Friday morning it was discovered that the dam of John Reifler’s saw mill, on Oarley Brook, had been earned away, to gether with a part of his mill and about 20,000 feet of sawed lumber. The dam of Wefferling’s tannery, half a mile further down the stream, was also swept away, and the flats below com pletely covered with sawdust and tan- bark. Fears were entertained that the Bunnell mill-pond dam would likewise yield to the flood, but fortunately it stood the strain. The water did not rise high enough at Tracyville to do any damage. Mr. Reiflar’s loss is estimated at from $1,0U0 to $1,500. The loss at the tannery was not so great, as the last shipment of finished leather from that establishment was t3 be made the next day. About thirty cords of bark remain to be ground, but as the tannery used steam power but little inconvenience will be experienced in finishing up the work in hand. The tannery was built by Hard, Gilbert & Palmer about thirty-five years ago. _____ ______ PROBABLY NOT MURDERED. The body of the tramp supposed to be that of J. Leach, found killed by the cars or murdered near Susquehanna, Saturday, was buried by the poor' authorities of Susquehanna Sunday afternoon. The tramps arrested on suspicion of being re sponsible for his death, have been dis charged, the evidence being to the effect that the men tried to heal his wounds in stead of causing them. He was undoubt- edly killed by falling from the bridge, the Transcript says. The verdict of the Cor ner’s jury was in accordance with these probable facts. THE NEW BOARD IN SESSION. Electing- tUe President and Clerk and Registrar o f Vital Statistics. The^new board met at the Corporation Rooms at 8 o’clock and was called to order by village President Shimer who is ex officio a member of the board. Besides Mr. Shimer there were present Thomas Laidley, Mat. Heitzman and health phy sician Dr. McKeeby. On motion of Mr. Heitzman Mr. Laid ley was e'ected president of the board and E. F. Mapes was appointed clerk and K ^ s tr a r of Vital Statistics for the en suing year. Dr. Swartwout, the retiring health phy- aclan, reported to the board that cases of measles existed in the family of Mrs. Van Inwegen, near Williams’ coal yard, and recommended that the house be dis infected under the supervision of the health board when patients recover. He also reported that cases of scarlet fever existed in family of Mrs. Lott near where Mrs. Frank lives, and t’aat a case of mea sles existed on Hammond street. Report received. On motion the regular meetings of the board were appointed to be held on the last Friday of each month. On nrotion of Mr. Heitzman it was ordered that all parties residing or owning property within the village limits be re quested to have all vaults and cess-pools cleaned and disinfected, and to have all ashes, garbage and refuse removed from their yards and premises put in sanitary condition on or before May 1st, 1888. On motion of Mr. Heitzman it was orderedthat complaints to the board shall be made in writing, except that matters reported by village officials will be re ceived verbally. Blanks for making complaints can be procured of any mem ber of the board or the clerk. An order of business was adopted and the code of sanitary ordinance in force last year was adopted bf the present The clerk reported that he had been informed by Street Commissioner Burns that a dead horse had been deposited on the river bank near Germantown that was becoming very offensive to residents in that vicinity usd also that another dead animal had been deposited on the banks ol the Neversink river by Cornelius Hughes that was becoming offensive. The report was received and the matter will be investigated by the board. On motion the board adjourned. IS THIS OUR DOCTOR HULL ? Thomas G.

No seats will he sold or reserved before that hour and those first at the slate will have the choice of seats. The Indications are that the sale will be a lively one and it is proper that it should be so. The company has worked long and patiently and has expended a large snm of money in the work and the music loving public should see that they have a generous recognition. TOM QUICK PLEASES MIDDLETOWN. The “ Tom Quick” company from this place played at the Casino at Middletown last night. It is said that the members of the company acquitted themselves much more satisfactorily than when the tragedy was put on the stage in the Port Jervis Opera House. The audience was a very^ large one, and it is said that the Middle- town people were exceedingly pleased with the entertainment. A very large boquet was presented to the dramatizer of the piece. Justice J. M. Allerton. THE JURY BOUND DR. COX GUILTY. At Easton, April 15, Dr. H. M. M. Cox was found guilty of criminal malpractice upon Jennie Osborne of Newark, who died at Easton on February 18. The jury after being out from 7 o’clock to after midnight found a verdict of guilty, sealed it and presented it to the court Sunday. Dr. Cox was not at Easton, having gone to his home in Port Murray Saturday night. He will ask for a now trial TO-NIGHT'S CONCERT. The program to be given by the Port Jervis Singing Society at the Opera House tonight, is a varied one, consisting of choruses and other selections from stand ard operas, ecclesiastical music, glees, songs, due's, eti. It is certainly well wor.h the small price of admission charged and a large audience should be present. PROBABLY WARMER WEATHER. The cold, unpleasant weather of the past week, is likely to be succeeded, after to day, by warmer weather, and possibly by threatening or rainy conditions to morrow. —Mme.

Citizens who Kefused to Clean .off the Snow, Made to Pay for tlie Work which the Corporation Found it Neces sary to D o —An Interesting Case at Hawley, Pa. An important trial took place at Haw ley, Pa., lastweek, wh'ch will be interest ing to all villages and cities. The trial was between the burgess or village of Hawley and one of its citiz-ms, and resulted in a verdict in favor of the village. T he U nion ’ s correspondent says that action was brought by the village against the citizen for refusing or neglecting to clean the snow from the sidewalk in front Of his store and dwelling, during the past winter. There were several others in volved in the case. The corporation employed men to shovel the snow off the walk and presented bills to the parties for the work, who refi^sed to pay the same. Consequently suit was brought before Enquire Killam, with the resulted stated. The justice of this decision will at once be apparent to the average citizen. If a corporation has any authority at all it ought to have that one of enforcing the duty of keeping its streets in passable con dition. The citizen who refuses or neglfccta to clean ice and snow from his walk is certainly deserving of discipline in some form. One of the glories or dis graces of any town is its sidewalks, and those kept in the best condition reflect, in a measure, the enterprise of the inhabi tants. A sidewalk buried in snow, and engulfed in puddles of water, or ill shaped and uneven, is not 'i very pleasing spectacle at any time, and is not tolerable after sufficient time has elapsed for the owner or occupant to effect a change. LOCAL LAWN TENNIS. An Amalgamation of the Several Clubs In this P lace-E lectin g Offleers.

STRANGE FREAKS OF LIGHTNING. How the Electric F lu id Found Its Way Through a Westtown Dwelling. Oue of the incidents of the thunder storm of last Thursday evening has not been published, and has just come to our knowledge. It occurred at the rcsidenre of Archie McBride, near Westtown. Mr. McBride has been quite ill, and had just arisen from his bed and seated him self at the sitting-room window to watch the storm when there was a loud report, and lightning struck the corner of the wing of his house and passed through the wall directly over the bead of the bed from which he had just arisen. Tue fluid followed the gilt edge border of the paper on the room to the opposite wall, passed through and across a hall, and then through another room to the opposite wall, where it turned, passed through another wall, passed half tvay across a ceiling, and then followed a gilt stripe on the paper nearly to the floor, jumped to the next strip and ran back to the ceiling and passed on to the inner wall at the front of the house, again crossed the hall and followed the ceiling through two or three rooms to the firther end, passed across the room and thence through the wall out of doors, where it tore off one end of the stoop, and then followed the gutter of the stoop root to the opposite end, where it started for the cellar and entered me ground withiu a few feet of the place where it first struck the house, after having made a complete circuit of the wings and the main building, which 72 feet long. The course of the fluid all around the wall is marked by a black streak, and in some places the plaster is torn off.— Mid dletown Argus.

Mr. Mar tin left town on train 6 to day. -The radiant face of conductor Jacob Johnston of the N. T., 8. & W. railroad beamed upon us to day. It is such a rarity to see Mr. Johnston as far away from his road as this, that everybody who bad ever met him on the Midland milk, was very sgreeably surprised. However, It is all right. He had business in Port Jervis. Years ago Mr. Johnston was an Erie conductor, and all of the old crowd recognized him at once. His many friends here would he delighted to have him come over oftener, and remain longer. —On Monday evening, Mirch 26, A. N. Childs, died at Norfolk, Neb. He was a brother of A. P.

H e Compliments Mr. Blaine, hnt is not a Stalking Horse for H im —A Good List of Bepublican Candidates in the Field. New York as a F ighting Ground. “ I have already reiterated the fact that I am not a candidate for the Presidency,” said Chauncey M. Depew to a New York Press reporter, on Friday last, “ and now I wish to state distinctly that I am not a stalking horse for Mr. Blaine. I am mak ing no effort to capture delegates, and have not interested myself at all in the selection of a single delegate. There is no foundation whatever for such a report. It is true that I am Mr. Blaine’s friend. I have admired and advocated him for the Presidency for the past twelve years. He is a very strong man, and that strength is not confined solely to the Republican party.” “ Do you think he will be nominated ?” “ If the state conventions are all as wild with enthusiasm for Mr. Blaine as those recently held in Vermont and Connecti cut it looks as if the Chicago convention will nominate him. These conventions are strong indications of the drift of the public sentiment. Mr. Blaine is as strong as he was in 1884, and would carry a large i adependent vote. He lost the Presidency by Burchard’s speech. I know of two clubs with a membership of 830 that had • Blaine badges and intended to vote for Mm until Burchard’s unfortunate utter ance. I think the votes he lost by that three R’s speech would be for him hpw if he were renominated.” “ Will Mr. Blaine accept a nomination?’ “ That depends more upon the way Ms aomination is made. If it comes unani mously and spontaneously, without any nanipulation, I presume he would accept. 3ut if there is anything like a contest I lo not suppose he would consent to run. We have a good list of Republican candi- lates in the field. Senators Sherman, Alli son, and Ben Hirrison, besides others. ‘ Now Sherman would make a fine President. He is able and experienced. 1 think he would carry the strength of the Republican party. It is natural that a nan who has been in public life as long as he has should have antagonisms, but they are confined to sections, ana would not affect the general result. Allison vould certainly be a splendid man to head the ticket, and General Ben Harrison eminently belongs to the brilliant array of candidates.” “ (Jan the Republicans carry New York?” “ New York is a splendid fighting ground. We have'153 solid votes from the S )uth to confront us at the start, and >nly 48 more are necessary to put the Oemocratsin power again. New York and Indiana would elect a Democratic President. We have this outlook to con template, and must work accordingly, Every effort should be made to carry New York. We must not expect anything from the Mugwumps, for they have gone over to the Democrats ; especially those who believe in free trade. The Civil Ser vice Mugwumps have at last been dis illusioned, and know now that civil ser vice, as administered by this Democratic administration, is a fraud. But I believe they would vote for President Cleveland against any Republican candidate. We must fight for New York.” A BRIGHT BINGHAMTON FAFER. The Binghamton Leader has appeared in its new dress.
