EXPOSURE BRINGS DEATH \ Announcement la made of n relief fund that is now being - established by the Pennsylvania Coal Co. and the Hillside Coal and Iron Co., comprising the Krle system, for the benefit of those employes who wish to become members. The plan is in general the same as that in vogue in many of the Jarge railroa*l and mining- corporations. Employes of the companies who wish to do so may become members, contributing one day's pay periodically, and the company agrees to contribute to the fund one dollar for every dollar contributed by the employes. Death and accident benefits are to be paid, and the employes who become members will have a share in the management of the fund.

HlGHONORED Representatives of boards of health from the different cities and towns supplied wholly or in part by water from Spring Brook watershed of the Spring Brook Water Supply Co. met in this city last evening, on invitation of the city board of health, to hear Its report of the investigation of the shed and lake such action as the meeting deemed advisable. . It had been contemplated that some action would be taken to have unsanitary conditions on the shed abated at once and some of the Plttston members were for suggesting to the meeting that the company be induced or compelled to purchase all the unoccupied land on the shed and have it vacated. Any intended action in this direction was cut short by the report of Chief Kngineer Snow, of the Stale department of health, that the State board had already taken up an investigation of the shed and would, if it found it necessary, conduct the same rigorous campaign as was put into effect in the vicinity of Scranton, following the recent epidemic of typhoid fever. As this was the most satisfactory condition the meeting could hope for, it confined its work to the adoption and signing of resolutions asking the Legislature to give the State department of health all the money necessary to carry on the great work of cleaning and policing the watersheds and to discussing municipal health and its safeguardinr,' k1 • nera Ily.

The Larchmon't, a side wheeler which was only put into the service of the Joy line during the present season, left her dock in Providence with a heavy cargo of freight and a long passenger list. A strong northwest wind was hlowing as the steamer plowed her way down through the eastern passage of Narragansett hay, hut the full effect of the gale was not felt until the I.archmont rounded Point Judith.

DI)in Wti.s Charles Reed, Who Was Alexander Craig, one of Pitlston's venerable citizens, who recently retired from the office of vice president 'of the Miners' Savings Rank, after a service of 11 years, was this morning the recipient of hj, beautiful testimonial of regard from the bank, in the form of a silver loving'cup. Mr. Craig being still a trustee of the bank, was present at the regular weekly meeting of the board this morning, and. after business matters had been disposed of, received the surprise of his life. There was brought int$ the room the magnificent cup pntpared by the bank, and the presentation was made to Mr. Craig by a committee, on behalf of the board. Mr. Craig, though taken so greatly by surprise, found a. few words in which to express his appreciation of the gift and of the kindly spirit that prompted it. The cup Is of silver and stands 12 inches high, bearing the following Inscription neatly engraved: About to be Taken to the Peni- For live and a half hours the crowd in the criminal branch of the supreme court listened to an exposition of the various kinds and degrees of insanity, interspersed with tilts between District Attorney Jerome and Delphin M.

The day was lilled with interest to those who followed the lines of reasoning that led the single expert called to the conclusion that Thaw was insane when he shot the architect. at the Luzerne county prison this morning, when it was thought for a time that one of the inmates, Charles j Reed, had made a successful attempt to commit suicide. Reed, who was sentenced at the recent term of court to undergo three years' Imprisonment In the Eastern penitentiary and to pay a fine of $500 for an unnatural crime perpetrated upon a -young boy, in I company with three other prisoners, j was to have been taken to the Phila- | delphia penitentiary this morning. 1 When the warden came to Reed's coll this morning, he refused to b'ave the cell and, stepping to a table, snatched a glass from it and drank the contents. He then told the keeper that the liquid was poisonous. The keeper immediately summoned a physician, who speedily imparted the information that the so-called poison had been coffee. The affair was soon straightened out and the party of prisoners were taken to the penitentiary on the early train. The prisoners who left the county jail this morning were Reed; John Williams, cCyivicted of manslaughter; John Stella, convicted of feloniously wouuding Mine Foreman Anthony Duffy, and Robert Curtis, of Plttston township, sentenced on the charge of conspiring to defraud Marcy township by means of forged orders. There was considerable commotion Block Island, R. I., Feb. 1.1.—A marine disaster with an appalling loss of life and entailing suffering beyond the limit of human endurance came to light, when a lifelioat of the .Toy line steamer Larctamont, sunk In collision with the aehooner Harry Knowlton. drifted into Block island harbor. The Lnrehmont was bound from BostOu to New York. s'apti.in George McVey, who had remained iu the pilot house until the \essel had been straightened out on her course, was preparing to retire after a turn around his ship when he was startled by several blasts of the steamer's whistle. He rushed Into the pilot house, where the pilot and quartermaster pointed out a three masted schooner sailing eastward before a strong wind. 2. The fund thus raised shall be kept by the company and be subject at all times to the drafts or orders made thereon, in pursuance of the subject for which the fund is created, by the person authorized so to do. There were over two dozen health board men present at the meeting. Dr. Mulholland, prcsidi'iit of the Plttston board, presided, anil W. J. McAndrew, secretary of the Pittston board, was secretary. A small party of spectators watched the proceedings. J. II. Snow, of Ilarrlsliurg, who represented Dr. Dixon, was the chief speaker. Mayor Dimmiek's regrets were expressed by F. Li. Wormser. the Scranton director of public safety. The Pittston board received much commendation for itsenergy in going over the shed on its personal inspect'on, which brought about the meeting. "Heart Interest" Crops Out. Although the "heart Interest" gave way to the intellectual, it did crop out oiu'o in an altercation between Jerome and Delmas. That, was when the lawyer for the defense demanded to know from Jerome how the prosecutor had acquired certain Information In regard to the operation that was performed on Evelyn Xesbit when she was In school in New Jersey. In the boat were several bodies of men who had died from the effects of long hours of exposure to a death dealing temperature. In the boat also were eleven men whose suffering was so intense that they seemed oblivions to the fact that death was in their midst and that they had escaped only by virtue of their ability to withstand the rigor of zero weather iu an open host at sea. The schooner, which proved to l»e the Harry Knowlton, coal laden, from South A nil toy for Boston, had been bowling along on her course when she seemed to luff up suddenly and head straight for the steamer. Again several blasts were sounded oil the steamer's whistle, the pilot and qwnrtennas ter at the same time whirling their wheel hardaport in a mad endeavor to avert a collision. 3.

On His Resignation From the Office of Vice President Jerome said he had received the information from the girl's mother, and for the first time it became known that the prosecutor had been in commun-i-cntion with Mrs. Charles J. Holman, the mother of Evelyn Xesbit Thaw, and that he had obtained it statement from her. Whatever information Mt|s. H6lmrtn gave will be useless as evidence, but, the prosecutor will be able to use it as a basis for questions when he cross examines the wife of the defendant.January, 1907 The boat brought a tale of disaster that has rarely been equaled in New England waters. It is believed that when the fiual count is made it will be found that not less than irD0 lives were lost. Following closely in the wake of the solitary lifeboat came bodies cast upon the beaell by angry waves. Then came lifeboats and rafts. Kach of them bore their burden of grim deatli as well as a load of suffering humanity, and each brought a tale of horror, of suffering and of despair. At Least 150 Dead.

The connection of Mr. Craig with the bank began when the institution was little more than a proposition. A charter had been secured, but a bank for savings was a novelty in the coal valley, only two existing where now nearly or quite twenty are in successful operation. For the organization and success of this one. stockholders and depositors were needed; and that these should be from all classes, from the prudent workman to the successful business man. In securing such the efforts of Mr. Craig in its behalf, strengthened by his social and business standing, were most successful. As the Lairhmoni was slowly veering around In response to her helm (he schooner came on with a speed that almost seemed to equal the gale that had Probably the most important result of the session, next to the report of Mr. Snow that the State board of health Is now in charge of the shed, wan the opinion generally expressed that there is practically no danger of typhoid from .the watershed. Mr. Snow said that the Seranton epidemic would not have resulted had it hot been for unusual conditions, such an a heavy snow and quick thaw, followed by a freshet, which carried surface impurities into the water and then rushed them along into the pipes before the bacteria settled to the bottom or died.

So high were the seas that it was impossible to pick up any of the corpses. The sea will be scoured later today in the effort to recover these vicitms. Dr. Mulholland, in opening the meeting, made an address, telling the object of the session and what, in his opinion, it ought to accomplish. He then called on Mr. Snow, who enlightened the members on the work and methods of the State board of health, the limitations of the law with regard to watersheds, the limited powers of municipalities and the greater authority of the State board, the unfeaslbility of filtration for moderate sized and well watered towns, the conditions and habits of bacteria and the future intention of the State board with regard to safeguarding the health of the Commonwealth. After concluding his address Mr. Snow invited the questions of the assembly and answered a number of queries. 61 Mills Taxation Required fi.

Forty-eight Bodies Recovered. The steamship officials estimate that about 150 passengers and a crew of fifty were on board the Larchmonl when she left Providence, at which city she stopped. Forty-eight bodies have reached these shores, and nineteen were alive when taken from the lireboats. Taking the estimated figures of the steamship officials as a basis, there are still 138 persons to be accounted for. The only positive evidence of the number of victims is lying at the bottom of Block island sound. The list of passengers and crew hand ed to the purser just before the steamer left Providence was locked in a safe, and it was not recovered. Commissioner diaries 1*. Holian, Esq., 6.

Some of the sheds of this company are populated quite thickly. Prior to the recent outbreak the water company was supposed to have one of the finest water furnishing equipments in the state. The State board sent notifications to every one on the shed of the requirements of the law, cleaned up all unsanitary conditions, the same being paid for without protest by Mr. Scranton and among other permanent Improvements arranged for a sewage disposal plant at Moscow. Pittstonians have a pretty clear idea of what municipal work lias been accomplished since a city charter was granted, and there is little need to dwell on it, further than to ask again, lias it been worth the cost? Perhaps it might be well to think about things that our city lacks and that we might have had if unselfish business men,instead of self-Keeking politicians, had been in control. What about a park, for instance ? Concerning this project there has been much talk, but no action. No money for such "trivial" things, is the readiest explanation. Yet a park is not a trivial thing. The National Cash Register Co. is now looking for a location, away from its central plant in Dayton, 0., for a factory to employ 10,000 men, because Dayton has no parks. The president of the company says that parks and other such attractions are necessary to attract to a city workmen of the better class. Then we have 110 municipal building worthy of the name, notwithstanding we bought a lot for a city hall ten years ago. Why has not a city hall been erected ? Again the answer is, No money. It is pertinent to inquire if there will be any more, money during the coining three years for permanent improvements of the important nature suggested, providing officers are elected who represent the same old political "ring" that has failed to make progress in the past.
