From the Cineinnatt ‘Tribune. ‘The boys of the early '30’s enjoyed life, so the old men of today declare, and there are some venerable gentlemen who main- tain that in their barefoot days they had vastly more fun than do the youths of the present. “I can remember when I was a boy,” said an old gentfeman the other day, who is not tar from the three-score-and-ten limit, “and { do not believe that my grandsons are hav- ing nearly as good a time now as I had, but they do not know what they missed, and seem happy with the present methods of amusement. “{ was born on a farm in Indiana about the time that the ‘30's began, and I must say that the time I spent on that farm was the happiest of my life, and I have had enough money for a long while to gratify any reasonable desire for pleasure. “We lived several miles from a small vil- ‘The ¢ lage.

But there were horses in the penies at reasonable price; there was polo for such as could afford it; there were the disreputable remnants of a pack of hounds, and there were cricket and musketry in- struction and the fitting up of the new gymnasium, and Cottar worried his way along without tco much cespair.

CONTAMINATED WELLS AND CISTERNS | Danger Spots Pointed Out in-Dr. Kcb2r's Report. INSIDE THE OITY As summarized in The Star, Dr. Kober recently made an exhaustive report to Health Officer Woodward on the question of typhoid fever. In this report the dif- ferent sections of the city were taken up in detail and the causes of the late cases of fever closely analyzed. Speaking of the various city divisicns, the report says: “I have examined ninety-four cases in the northeast section, of which five eases were contracted at summer resorts. Some of the cases are grouped in certain squares, suggesting elther the existence of local causes or the possibility that they had fol- lowed the routes of certain milkmen. The lati explanation must be excluded, as there was no common milk supply in the majority of cases. In my investigation the fact soon developed that there was a de- cided incident between typhoid fever and the consum of water from certain wells, and the malignancy of the cases appeared to depend upon the amount of water con- sum in many of the fatal cases the pa- tients had drunk a great deal of pump wa- ter and a number died within a week or two after the attack, showing intensity of the poison, Well Corner Ist and K Streets North- east. Twenty-two causes, eight of which were fatal, were consumers of water from this well. This would be a_ terrible mortality, and while I ami sure that I investigated all the fatal cas I cannot be certain that all the re- coveries came under my observation. The pump is located sixty-four feet from a yer (the streets are unpaved, maple ees on K street) and faecal eria © demonstrated by Dr. Kinyoun in two mples of the water different infection of th may be med.

Fourteen consum of the water from the pump corner K and Ist streets northeast were also consumers of Potomac water, but as a rule, during the hot weather, preferred the pump water. Well Corner 2d and G Streets North- enst. “A group of eighteen cases, six of which were fatal, was found in consumers of water from this well, located within eleven feet from a sewer (asphalt pavement and sycamore trees), but both the bacteriolog- ical and chemical examinations furnished no proof of the contamination. When we recall the various facts likely to influence the presence or absenc disease germs, I can only say that e the:r presence would be absolute proof of infe: . their in a g.ven ple of water is no ation that they were never present. ighteen cases eleven were exclu- sumers of this pump water, and re also consumers of Potomac Well Corner 4th and E Streets North- east. “Riv. is located 1 '$ were traced to this well, which feet from a sewer; maple trees in vicinity; halt pavement on E street; gravel road cn 4th str Two of these cases ercurred on Groff street, where the emanations from the sewer wer very ot- fensive.

Seven of the con- sumers of well water also drank occasion- ally Potcmac waterl “One of the ptivies contained a’ barrel, partly sunk in thé ground, and three of the boxes were found to be leaky cr full to overflowing. One,case occurred at No. 803 I street southezst, in a very good house, |located near a private alley, which was de- filed with excrement by frequenters of an adjoining salocn. “One case received milk from a grocery on E street whilé typhoid fever prevailed there. In square“No. 1041 there is an alley on the east, and in rear of lot No. 1322 Harrison avenue, which is used by the res- idents of that section as a place for de- posit of human filth, garbage and other putrescible material, and the collection is kept moist from the drainage of the houses on Harrison avenue and C street, in the same square. On Septemter 11 a colored man was taken sick at No. 1325 C street, and the dejecta were thrown into a leaky and overflowing Lox privy. On September 29 a child aged elcven years was taken tick at 1322 Harrison avenue, and there is much reason for assuming that infection was carried from the insanitary conditions referred to. Southwen “Of the forty-nine cases investigated by me in the southwest section six were im- ported, leaving forty-one cases as having been contract2d in the District. Of these sixteen were fatal; only four of the sixteen cases were consimers of welt water, while twelve were consumers of Potomac waier. “Of the twenty-seven recoveries sixteen were consumers %f well waier, eleven were consumers of Potome water. Thirteen con- sumers of well waier also drank oceasic: ally Potomac wacer. “In a fatal case on Half street southwest the family kept cows, and evident vegetables for the market. The » y, mere excavation in the grounds, was thirt five yards. fro: the well and the kitch n drain emptied within a few feet from the well. The house was infected with diph- theria last spring. - Danger Spot. “A fatal case occurred in No. 134; Capitol street, and white the sanitary con- dition of the house was good, the family suffered from the « able odors of pox privies, unlawful surface drainage and the filthy condition of some of the v in close proximity.

Central, District. “From North Capitol to 18th street northwest, north ofthe public grounds and scuth of the Boundary, I have investigated 104 cases, twelve of which were contracted at summer resorts dnd ninety-two at home. Of the ninety-two cases, twenty-one were fatal « eight among the white and t } teen among the coleted race.Of these,eleven Were consumers pf well water, eight were cepsumers of Potomac water, one melted Kennebec ice, one’ consumer of lithia and Petomae water. “Of the seventy-one other cases, forty- three were consumers of well water, twen- ty-six were consumers of Potomac’ water, che was a consumer of melted Kennebec ice, One was a consumer of Potomac and Mthia water. “A pump on H street between 4th and h streets northwest, which was found to be contaminated and closed September 7, ccntributed three of the fatal cases. The yell corner of New Jersey avenue and Pierce street contributed three fatal cases and eight other cases; five of the cases were consumers of water from the artesian well in the Palais Royal. The pump on eciner of 10th and N streets furnished four ceses; a pump on Caroline street and one on North Capitol and Randolph streets, each two cases, and the pump on 6th be- tween F and G streets, three cases. “In seven of the houses there was de- fective plumbing; in one instance, on King- man place, a defective drain from the wa- ter closet passed through the bed room; in ; another case the patient occupied a bed rcom supplied with un unventilated wash Oat! | basin; in one instance there had been an ove ty tlow of sewage from defective drains » weeks before the attack.

Georgetown. “TI have investigated twenty-four cases In Georgetown, five of which were contracted at summer resorts. Of the nineteen remain- ing cases six were fatal; four in consumers of well water; one in a consumer of Potomac water; one in a ccnsumer of water from a spring located in the cellar. “Of the thirteen other cases ten were con- sumers of well water and three were con- sumers of Potomac water. “The well on 34th street between O and P contributed four cases, and a well at 1614 Valley street two cases. Twelve of the pa- tients were white, five colored; two of the five fatal cases were in colored persons. In one of the fatal cases, the water closet was found in the basement, within 12 feet from the kitchen range, and no partition except a curtain to separate the kitchen from this apartment. The water closet was the ordi- vary rim flush basin; members of this fam- ily had diphtheria last year, and although the house is quite modern and compara- lively new, I am not surprised at the occur- rence of these diseases under such circum- stances. n one of the cases it is probable that the disease was contracted at Brightwood, and in another at Ivy City, the patients having worked cr remained at these places sufii- ciently long for the incubation of the germs. In ane instance the patient had drank spring water whilst out hunting two weeks before the attack. In the house of a family with three cases I found a box privy full to over- flowirg: the mother informed me that the first case occurred in April, and that she had buried some of the dejecta in the yard not over a hundred feet from a public pump. Bacteriological examination of the water has not revealed the presence of dangerous germs.” ae te TWO ATLANTA TRAGEDIES. A Young Wife Avenges an Tusult—A Woman Fatally Burned. Atlanta, Ga., has been stirred to its depths by two episodes, in both of which women | were the chief actors. Mrs. Jessie Owens, the young wife of J. B. Owens, employe of the Southern rail- way, fired four shots, three of which were effective, at Jake Adolphus, an eighteen- -old youth, Wednesday evening. The young man was seriously and perhaps fa- tally wounded. The shooting, according to the statement of Mrs. Owens, was done to avenge an insult to her on the part of the young man. Adolphus is now lying uncon- scious at his home, and is pected to die. The shooting occurred at the home of Mrs. Owens about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Adclphus called at the home of Mrs. Owen! Just what conversation passed betw them no one el knows, but Mrs. wen claims that the young man insulted her.

THE YEHUDA BROTHERHOOD. An Oath-Round feite The United States closed its case and the defense opened vesterday in the United of Counter- States district court at Philadelphia, in the trial of Moses Rosengarten, Max Frank, Jacob Fineburg, Jacob Freedman and Henry Greenburg, alleged counterfeit- ers. The men are Russians, and are charged with having banded together as the “Yehuda Brotherhood” to flood the country with spurious coin. . Their principal rendezvous-was a house in Landisville, N. J., where a complete coining cutfit was found by secret service officers. The testimony was to show that the men had been operating in New Eng- land, and that they obtained a quantity of nickel for coining purposes from a Connec- ticut firm, which furnished like material for the government. They had also occu- pied a farmhouse outside of New Haven to which a 300-pound press had been taken, The coins made were mainly dimes and nickels. 1 It was brought out that Greenburg, who is thought to be the leader of the gang, has beon carrying on a_ correspondence from prison with his relatives and some of the other defendants, and there was evidenc> showing that letters had been smuggled into cells in botties of milk. The secret service department believes that this is the beginning of disclosur which y reveal a system of counterfeiting throughout the country.
