$8 a Week. BLAZING STOVES IN EVERY ROOM What Han Been liearned By vastlKatlon. Oommittte AERONAUT HOG AH. Kpsrt That He Wm Umb. an In New York, July 24.

For the past two days a committee from the Boston Clothing (Gutters' Union and from other branch unions of the trade has been in this city investigating the manufacture of clothing in tenements by "sweaters," and many atartlinir facts have been discovered. Star vation wages, horrible smells, poor ventilation, long hours of work and poverty have been brought to light in the work places of the slaves ot tne sewing macnine ana needle, and the committeemen were greatly surprised to learn that Buch a state of affairs could exist in free America. It ameare that the trade of manufactur ing clothing in Boston was very dull, work rarce and Drices very low. As this state of affairs had come upon the workers in the trade rather suddenly it was thought tbat there must be good cause for it, and then it was hinted that probably the Boston manufacturers were having their goods made up in the tenement house factories of this city, and tne committee was ap pointed to come on and investigate. I he committee learned at once that such was the case, and will have a long report to make when they return to Boston.

Howe or Work. It is not necessary to describe the terior of all the workshops visited. Nearly all the rooms were overcrowded, small and poorly ventilated. In nearly all the rooms were stoves, and the men aud women who worked from fourteen to eighteen hours a lay had on just about enough clothing to cover them. The heat was intense, and when it is considered that in some of the places whole families live in two or three rooms, that work, eating land sleeping had xq be done in the same apartments, amid he cries of the children, the condition in which the people worked can be imagined find theirsufferings guessed at.

The wages are from $2 to $8 a week, the greater number earning from to $4, ana this for hard, steady, grinding work. In one place the committee found that the tailors received no cash wages, but sold the scraps and cutting, for what they could get. Prom Cartl. Garden. In their tour to day the investigators weve informed that many of the "sweaters" fro reTularly to Castle Garden and pick up Polesand other poor immigrants and pay them $2 And $3 a week.

Many of these men, when tired out at the end of their tasks, sleep all night on the board on which they have been working. The Boston committeemen will not conclude their investigation for Beveral days, and when they report home tbey intend to make it interesting for a number of manufacturers. The committee has noted several violations of the factory laws of this State, and they will so inform the factory inspectors. The factory inspectors are now hard at work in this city, and will be for weeks. They intend to pay strict attention to the "sweater" district, and all violations of law in regard to health, ven tilation, fire escapes, Ac will be thor oughly handled.

A freight wreck occurred at the viaduct this morning1 and detained the men who are assigned to nnsist Judge Cummin in the distribution of Gov. Beaver money tor more tban an hour. The loner delay cauBed persons to fear that the distribution was over, and they were to be left out in the cold. When part of the commission arrived the room was crowded as on orevious days. A number of orders for money have been stopped by the Board of Inquiry because of systematic swinaung ou tne part oi some applicants for relief.

Some, of the schemes resorted to are decidedly ingenious, among them being the following i A father will register himself and family and be placed in a certain class by the local committee. when he is followed by some other mem here of his household, the result being a double allowance to the family. In this way some families have received as much as $240, while it was the purpose of the committee to allow bat $80, The distribution of the $500,000 has cost a great deal of time, and tbe end is not yet in sight, as many who were sufferers to a great extent have not yet been registered. it is not a difficult matter to place all the blame where it properly belongs. All local em ployees are working tike beavers to finish the task.

The amount paid out on orders today was 915,144. According to the latest statistics care fully compiled by the Board of Inquiry the number of lives lost in the devastated district was about 6.000. These figures may be changed some little in the near future, as it is possible that a few who are reported missinir may have been absent on a visit when the compilation was made.

mt, amd ia Phjladklphia, July 24. For several days past rumors of a sensa tional character, affecting both the life and death of the late Solomon M. Heilbrun, tor many years manager oi JNixon Zimmerman's Chestnut Street Theatre, and well and favorably known in theatrical circles throughout the country, have been in circulation in prominent Hebrew circles of this city and New York. 1 Mr. Heilbrun, at the close or the theatrical season, re moved to his cottage at Atlantic City, where for years he has been in the habit of spending the summer, and his death, which occurred on the morning of the 15th instant, was a great surprise not only to his many friends but relatives as well, the latter having received no knowledge of bis illness.

Two days subsequent to his death Mrs. Rachel Heilbrun, the mother of the decedent, throngh her attorneys, Meyer Sulzberger and Xbomas JJienl, mea caveat with Register of Wills Grata, protesting against the admission to probate of any writing, alleged to be the will ot her son, until after a thorough investigation had been made relative to its proper execu tion. When the instrument in question was produced at the Register's office it was conxroKited by the caveat, and the matter ot proving the writing was postponed until after a hearing1. The will was executed on the 21st of September, 1887, and is witnessed by Ham el tr. Nird linger (Nixon) and J.

Zimmerman, the managers of the Chestnut Street Theatre and Chestnut Street Opera House. After providing for the payment of his tuneral expenses and just debts, tbe will be Deaths all his property to Mrs. Grace C. Burger. The estate left by the testator is valued, according to the petition filed with the will at the Register's office, at $13,000, of wtiicb amount $7,000 consists of personal effects and the remainder ot real estate, although, it is said, that the estate will ex ceed these figures by from $10,000 to $15, 000.

The executor named is the Girard Life Insurance, Annuity and Trust Com pany. Mrs. Rachel Heilbrun, the mother of the decedent, who is entirely ignored in the will, is eighty three years ot ace, and it is said by tbe mends ot both that the strong est regard was always held by one for the other, in addition to tbe mother, Mr. Heilbrun left an adopted sou and two brothers, Joseph and Morris M. Heilbrun, only tbe latter of whom is mentioned, and the fact that Mrs.

Burger is made the only legatee cannot be understood, it is al leged that undue influence was exercised in the making of the will, and that sufficient evidence will be produced at the hearing before the Register to prove the fact. Other peculiar developments are also prom ised when the legal battle is commenced, It is said that VIr. Heilbrun first met Mrs. Burger and her husband fifteen years affo, and tbat tbe closest triendshio existed afterwards between him and the family up to the time ot his death. In tact, they were residing with him at his Atlautic City cottage at the time, and are still living there.

On the other hand it is alleged that Heilbrun has supported the riurger family for a number of years. They all occupied the same dwelling on Mantua street, in West Philadelphia, which Mr. Heilbrun owned and which he bequeathed in trust to Mrs. Burger, and afterwards when he built the Arctic avenue cottage at Atlantic City, they all made it their home during; the summer months. The family have some doubts about the exact cause ox Mr.

Heilbrun's death, and, it is stated, intend to have the body, which was interred in Baltimore, exbumed tor tbe purpose of having a post mortem examina tion held.

The owners of number of vineyards on both sides of Mbout Penn are now satisfied that they will have about one half of their usual crop of grapes this season. The late heavy and frequent rainstorms have had the effect of causiug many of the grapes to rot, and nearly all who have vineyards say that they may have one half of last year's crop. The heavy rains which came when the grape wa4n blossom were more disastrous than recent storms, and the owners of these vineyards place various estimates on their probable losses. The grape culture from these vineyards about 3U0 barrels annually, but those en gaged in it say that the cultivation of the grape this year will not 'yield 200 barrels of wine all told. An these vineyards the Lion cord, Seedling, Catawba and Clinton grapes are mostly cultivated.

Theodore Benz, who is the owner of a vineyard above the Mineral Spring, said that his entire crop of Catawba grapes are going to rot on account ot the continued rain. THE READING POST OFFICE.

The farm is leased by John Glates, who only nuisnea his oats harvest on mesa ay two large wagors tailed with the grain stood on the barn floor.

One calf perished, the other stock being got out in time to save their lives. The fire was caused by spon taneous combustion, some of the hay not having been entirely dry when placed in the barn. This is the first of a series of barn burnings expected in the county, as much hay was placed in barns by farmers before being entirely driej, the continued rains causing the farmers to be less careful in this particular than is usual.

The mare had been turned out into a paddock in the expectation of the event, and, of course, was unwatched during the night but nobody could have anticipated such a fate tor the poor creature as seems to nave overtaken ber. fiiarly in the morning it waa noticed that the mare instead of walking about the neta, as was her wont, was lying down. Going out to inveatiirate this. Mr. Ninhola found that the animal had been severely wounded in the belly.

A cruel cut several inches in length had been mfiioted, and the wound was so severe that the intestines actually protruted through it, just as when a horse is gored in the arena of a bull fight. Examination led to the conviction that the wound was inflicted with a knife. The miscreant who was guilty of this act of combined cruelty and cowardice, must have crept down into the pasture, and have approached the mare in a friendly way, ana struck upwara with a knite, pene trating the intestines. There was evi dentty but one thing that mercy required, and that was to put the poor creature out ot ber misery as soon as possible. Some bodv known to havn a vnidim n.

City Solicitor Rourke vesterdav made application to the tJourt of Uommoa Pleas for an injunction restraining A. Harvey Tyson from extending his new building at ourth ana Walnut streets beyond the building line. Judge Erm en trout, in chambers, awarded a preliminary injunc tion, and ordered it to be returnable at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 26th inst. The topographical survey of the city fixes and establishes the width of Walnut street between Fourth and Fifth at 60 feet from the northern building line to the southern building line of the street. In the city's bill of complaint it is alleged tbat Mr.

Tyson is now erecting and has in process of construction a large new stone and brick structure of the full dimensions of the lot along Walnut street, and that the brick portion of the building adjoining No. 403 Walnut street projects and extends over the building line aud into the street for a distance of six or seven inches southward from the northern building line of Walnut street as fixed by the topographical survey. This is held to be contrary to law. Sheriff Schaeffer served the writ on Mr. Tyson yesterday afternoon.

NO GENERAL OUTBREAK OF THE DREAD DISEASE. SI.IMljr CooflDid to tto SmUk Ward Oa la On family law With Br.ral Pramlna.t Pbjr ateuuu am til. SmbjMt. The fact that there were numerous cases of typhoid fever in a certain section of the Seventh ward gave rise to the report that there was a general outbreak of the disease all over the city. Times reporters called upon many of the physicians of the city yesterday in order to elean.

some facts concerning the prevalence of the disease, but the information received from that source does not indicate that there are at present more than the number of typhoid fever cases in the city at large. That por tion of the Seventh ward between Elm and Woodward and Fourth and Fifth streets has been afflicted more than any other district in the city. In the family of a Mr. cent. In other houses in that district the disease has mode its appearance during the paBt six weeks, out it has had but lew vic tims.

The residents of that section of the Seventh ward, as well as in some sections of the Eighth, say that a biological exami nation has demonstrated the tact that the quality of the drinking water furnished the citizens has not been good, and they think it is certainly within the province of the Hoard ot Health to make an investigation. Some physicians said that if there should be a general outbreak ot this dreaded xever it could be traced to detective waste pipes or obstructed drains or sewers. In retrard to the reported prevalence of typhoid fever in this section, an Eighth ward physician, in an interview, denied that there were more than the usual num ber of cases. He has, however, lately Been several cases of fever greatly resembling typhoid in its early stages, but which, when examined by the microscope tor the vacii lus of typhoid, revealed none of these para sites, proving that, although greatly re sembling typhoid, the cases were really of a trivial nature. "Many of these cases, the doctor said, "are reported tyohoid, thus circulating a groundless report." It was said yesterday by a Seventh ward resident that the disease which is confined almost entirely to a particular section may have been propagated by the use ot milk furnished by a dairvman in whose family there had been much sickness during the past month.

It is alBO thought that the disease may have been diffused by means of drinking water into which excrement in ever so small quantities has found ac cess. A number of physicians south of Penn street were asked as to the number of cases they had under treatment, and only eight within the present month is the record. Most of the cases, though, have been more tban usually malignant. There is always a little typhoid toward fall, but it has come a little, earlier than usual this year. Store M.
