The case will come up hefore Jusâ€" tice Anglin here on October 9. The case has caused a big sensation here, and is the talk of the city. The council has teen called to meet 10â€" night and the citizens are anxious to know the outcome. "Let the writ come along, 1 will answer it," ‘The above statement was made toâ€" day by Ald. Gordon when the latter was told that the board of works had decided to issue a writ against him for $25,000 for slander. Continuing, the alderman said that the board, before issuing any Writs, would do well to answer why they had preferred the highest tenders to the lowest, from equally responsible firms, upon which question the memâ€" bers had maintained silence.

This does not imply solely the abandonment of statute laâ€" bor, but it means rather that an efâ€" ficient system has teen established in its place in townships where this change has been made, we find, as a ruk, a marked improvement in . the condition of the roads. Improvements are being made in long stretches, inâ€" stead of disconnected, unfinished patâ€" ches. _ Better gravel is being placed.

The cost is being cheapened. by the use of machinery to grade the roads J and prepare the matcrial. â€" Every man employed is required to do a fair day‘s work.

I ‘"The management of the highways" says the report, ‘"involves more work and a larger expenditure of money than all the remaining business of the municipality." The necessity. for hayâ€" ing a capable road commissioner should be obvious. Such a manâ€" should be as secure in his office, as the average clerk or treasurer, and he should have charge of all road and bridge improveâ€" ment, and be required to report at the council at each meeting. The" advantage of wide itires is dwelt upon. Narrow wagon tires are the great destroyers of good roads. Part V deals with town streets ;«‘ is equally comprehonsive in its it fireproof roofs? Age of Improvement. Text Boo« oa Roads Paterson‘s "Wire Edge" Ready Roofing oug infants in the months of July and August has . been brought about in the city of Rochester as a result of Health Officer George W. Goler‘s plan for providing pure milk for babies. Until the city established summer milk statiuns the infant mortality in Rochcster constituted more than oneâ€" third of the total nnmber of deaths, but it has now been greatly reduced. In the nine years from 1888 to 1896, there were 8,829 deaths of children under 5 years of age. For the: nine year period from 1897 to 1905 dpring which the milk stations have been in operation, â€" there were only 4,403 deaths, notwithstanding that the popâ€" ulation of the city has increased 50,â€" I ~â€"Gutten was the only one in the par ty who could not swim, and the young women made fun of him becaus> |he did not go far from shore. At first be took their taunts as fun, but at llat he tecame angry and said he worli show them he could swim. lPlunging in, he went down in 40 feet of water. | New York, July .16.â€"Taunted by his girl companions, who said he dar not venture into the water above hi head, Samucl Gutten, 20 years old, of Beach and West 22nd streets, Con« ey Island, who could not swim,plung: ed into deep water in Gravesend Bay yesterday, and ‘was drowned in view of many bathers, says The Herald. | Becoming hysterical when she saw Gutten disappear, Miss Bessie Silver, 19 years old, of 360 Madison St., t« lwhom he had been devoted for man: months, dived after the body until ’shc was exhausted, and was with ‘ great difficulty rescued. It is not pretended that the results accomplished are due solely to the imâ€" proved quality of the milk that is fed to the babies. Improvement in â€" the practice of medicine has perhaps had much to do with it, but it is believed that the milk has been the principal factor. The Rochester milk work was begun in 1879. ‘An examination of the morâ€" tality tables had shown what appearâ€" ed to be an unnecessarily large numâ€" ter of deaths of children under 5 years of age. It was also noted that the larger number ‘of these deaths occurâ€" red in July and August. Looing about for a cause, it was woon concluded: that the milk supply was the great cause for the mortalâ€" ity. Accordingly a systematic examâ€" ination of stables and dairies was unâ€" dertaken. 5 Rochester, July 18.â€"A decrease of more than 30 per cent, in deaths amâ€" tistics show that in the cities of large population, and in those of small population the number of death: among young children were just . as numer@is and in some places even larger then here. When the milkmen were approached about the matter they replied that they were taking the same care of the cows and the milk thet they had alâ€" ways taken of them, and that they could not tae better care of the mil for the price current at the timeâ€"5 cents a.quart. Rochester was not exceptional in its high inhlltile mortali'fy. 'l‘he lt&: As hope of imy;rovement in this unâ€" dertaking ~scemed ~futile, the hraith bureau determined, at least durin# the summer season, to go into the milk business itself.

Miss Clara Lasarus, in East 104th street, toâ€"day, the youth stabbed his father with a piece of broken glass, inflicting probably a mortal wound. The elder Schirmer several weeks ago ordered his son to cease payitig attentions to Miss Lasarus, but thr youth had become engaged to her, and his mother pleaded his cause. The fatherâ€"thenâ€"consented that the boy should marry the girl when he was 21, but declared tnat Conrad _ must stop staying out so late at nights while calling upon his sweetheart. Miss Lasarus attempted to interâ€" fere, and Conrad seized a piece of broken glass and plunged it into his father‘s side, infiicting a dangerous wound. The wounded man was reâ€" moved to a hospital, but refused to make a charge against his son, deâ€" claring that he had gone too far. Conrad was atrested. The boy disobeyed, and when he went to Miss Lasarus‘ home last night he remained very Jate.
