THE WATER SUPPLY. It Is rOre. But There's Danger From Pleasure Boats On Rake Kllby. At the meeting of the Board of Health last night Dr. F. s. Hope, the city health officer, made a statement in regard to the oily water supply. The supply, In- said, was pure, and none of ib.- cases of typhoid which have oc? curred during the summer can be traced to it. Dr. Hope said that ty? phoid fever was not confined to any special locality, but was found this year in almost epidemic form in Penn? sylvania, Maryland, Virginia. North ami South Carolina, and Georgia. It was of milder form here than In many other places, and while the cases were more frequent than in past years no serious danger threatened the com? munity. Nine cases were reported during August, and one case was re? ported to the board last night. Attention was called to the fact that pleasure boats are used on Lake Kll? by. from which the city gets her water, and this, said Dr. Hope, was a standing menace to the public health. The president of the board. Mr. Nash, was directed to confer with the Super? intendent of the Water Company on the subject. The board decided to call the atten? tion of the Mayor of the fact that live physicians of the city have failed to comply with the city ordinances by registering at the Bureau of Vital Sta? tistics, and have also failed to make reports of births as required by the ordinances. The board has concluded to till up the marsh east of Dlnwlddle and north of North streets, and the Sanitary In? spector was directed to notify the owners of the property that the filling must be done in 30 days. The City Council will be asked to fill up the drain running from London to North streets. Many property owners in the First AVard have failed to Connect their pro? perty with the sewers within the time prescribed by the city ordinances, and this fact was also referred to the Ma vor. The Superintendent of Public Schools was requested hot to allow children to remain in the schools who cannot show satisfactory evidence of vaccination. The Annual Convention of the Na? tional Baptist Association (colored). Richmond, Vh., September 12th-20th. will be a memorable occasion. All good Baptists will take the SKA ROAR D AIR LINE RAI WAY. se2-St PATE-TYLER. Mr. Thosmas F. Pate and Miss Daisy .lames Tyler were married last night by Rev. .i. J.
