Board of Public Improvements Bal ks at Placing Three-Quarters ol the Cost on the City. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15. Jeremiah Lyons, President Judge of the Common Pleas Court of Judicial and Privy Councils, dropped dead last night at the home qf Mrs. Hensel, 1217 Wallace street.

Death was almost instantaneous, and was probably due to cerebral hemorrhage. Mrs. Hensels servant had been scrubbing the steps with the front door open. Judge Lyons, feeling the attack coming on as he walked along the street, and seeing the door open, In, evidently seeking a place of rest. Judge Lyons was born In Perry County, this State, on Sept.

16, UW9. He practiced in this State for a number of years. and he based It upon the limited number of cases whieh he saw professionally, but the symptoms of these were not of a malarial fever, but were those of a continued fever. The local health board has taken no action in regard to this outbreak, has made no investigation into it, nor requiied report of cases from the local physicians, accepting the advice of ttie health officer as to its nature. Tlie health officer has been derelict In hi duty in that, knowing of the existence of a seriously prevalent fever, he has not attempted to see cases generally, to investigate the outbreak, nor heeded the unanimous opinion as to its nature of other physicians, nor- taken any steps towards so far as possible controlling it.

I informed him quite positively as to what the State Board of Health would regard as his duty, and would expect his board of health to do. The etiology of this outbreak has partly to do, 1 am certain, with carelessness In the disposal of discharges from the patients early in the course of the disease. Apparently no care whatever was taken either to disinfect them or properly to dispose of them. Incidentally I should report an exceedingly filthy and unsanitary condition, which together with the carelessness of the residents of the place has altogether helped on this outbreak on Cedar street, in East Hampton. The remedy for conditions that exist is for the health authorities to require the most ab- (8pclal to the Standard Union ALBANY, Nov.

15 The State Board of Health at its meeting yesterday afternoon adopted the report presented by Dr. F. C. Curtis on the prevalence of typhoid fever at East Hampton, and ordered that a copy of It be sent to the local health authorities for their guidance in handling future outbreaks of the disease. In his report Dr.

Curtis said that East Hampton is partly supplied with water from a public supply derived from driven wells a little distance away and partly by local frells. Typhoid fever is said to have been of yearly occurrence thereabouts, generally every year for an Indefinite period. For the last three years It has had greater prevalence, especially in East Hampton. This year the disease re-' curred; two cases developed in June, and the last of August there set in a prevalence which continues to the present time. Further on in the report Dr.

Curtis ays: "The principal question is as to the diagnosis: Is this febrile outbreak one of malarial fever, as the health officer holds, or is it typhoid feer? Most cases ALLEGED TURKISH OUTRAGE ON AMERICAN CITIZENS Five Armenians, Who Bore Documents of Naturalization in This Country, Tortured on a Charge of Complicity in a Revolutionary Plot Their Friends Preparing a Protest to the Government. were fairly mild, although temperatures solute possible disinfection of typhoid were rather excessive for typhoid fever. discharges and their proper disposal, to I need not say that the diagnosis is be- which end require the report of every yond question that the outbreak is one ctse Sterilisation of water, from w'hat-of typhoid fever.

The expiration of the contract occurs on Dec.

31 of this year, so that' It is not unlikely that an extension of the contract will have to be made. In fact, at the meeting yesterday a contract was presented by thei company whereby It agreed to continue to supply the city with water at the rate of $30,000 a year until the condemnation proceedings are-- brought to a close! and the city comes into possession of the plant. The company agrees to maintain the water hv-drants for fire protection, etc. The new contract Is the same as the present one and there is little doubt that It wilt be entered into. It wu referred to the Corporation Counsel for approval as to form.

The district which the company snpnltes will thus be amply protected. There had been fears expressed that no action would be taken, and that the district would be left helpless In case of Are. The resolution providing' for the purchase of the old Jumel Mansion on Washington Heights In Manhattan cm a museum for the display of Revolutionary relics was again defeated. The cost of the mansion and grounds. Engineer Webster said, in response to a question, was about $160,000.

President Holahan added that a number of Revolutionary and other societies had petitioned for Its purchase by 'the city. He said It waa one of the handsomest slths in New York. In a revival of the talk on the Bedford avenue assessment President Holahan said: "I would suggest that this Board adopt a resolution sustaining Mayor Van Wyck in his vetoes of bills by which citizens seek to saddle the cost of an Improvement upon the city at large. This has been done over and over again. The members were silent as to Mr, Hoi-ahans suggestion, and nothing was done to carry It out.

When the resolution providing for the laying out of the Eastern District Park came up. President Holahan said: Is there any opposition to the laying out of this park? There was no opposition, and the resolution was passed unanimously. A similar resolution was passed on Oct. 10 last, but by a mistake Nassau avenue, one of the boundary lines of the park, was described as Nassau street, and It waa thought best to recall the resolution from the Municipal Assembly and make the correction. The corrected resolution will now be sent to the Muhiclpal Assembly.

A resolution for the laying out ot St. Francis place, from Degraw street, and of St. Johns place, was adopted. William Jenkins appeared before the Board and petitioned for the widening and grading of Barbey street. The petltloiv- was referred to Borough President Grout.

Resolutions for the construction of sewers in Brooklyn were also passed. Important action concerning two matters of interest to Brooklyn was taken at the meeting of the Board of Public Improvements held yesterday afternoon. The condemnation of the Flatbush Water Companys plant by the city was authorized, and the Board refused to approve a resolution placing upon the city 75 per cent, of the' cost of the Bedford aenue improvement. Borough President Edwdfrd M. Grout opposed the Bedford avenue resolution.

He said that the bill which passed the Legislature last session placing 75 per cent, of the cost of the extension upon the city was an injustice, and continued: "If the Brooklyn members had known the facts they would never have voted for the bill; if the Governor had known the facts he never would have signed It. Upon Mr. Grout's motion the resolution was allowed to lie upon the table, ahd an appeal will be made to the next Legislature to amend the "bill so as to Impose but 25 per cent.Nof the cost upon the city. This was the percentage originally fixed by the Board. The property owners, however, went to the Legislature for relief, Assemblyman Jacob Remsen, of the Eighteenth District, fathering the bill.

The Commissioner of Water Supply, Mr. Dalton, presented a communication to the Board regarding the Flatbush Water Companys Enclosed was an opinion from the Corporation Counsel to the effect that condemnation proceedings could not be commenced by him merely upon the authorization of the Board. Mr. Whalen Bald that the Board would first have to pass a resolution favoring the condemnation, then the Board of Estimate would be obliged to pass a resolution directing that condemnation proceedings be taken, and finally the Municipal Assembly would be required to pass an ordinance authorizing the proceedings. Last spring the Board authorized condemnation proceedings.

The Board of Estimate was asked to provide a bond issue. Corporation Counsel Whalen was asked to give an opinion whether bonds would have to be Ibsued before proceedings were begun. He rendered a negative opinion. This was in the summer. Since then the matter has hung fire, the Board of Public Improvements, the Board of Estimate, the Corporation Counsel, and the Water Commissioner each asserting that it was Wh Slaved onlnlnn enl.lnW th Whalen delayed opinion explaining the line of action untangled the knot.

Upon motion of Deputy Controller Edgar J. Levey the 'Board of Public Improvements yesterday adopted the resolution favoring' the condemnation of the plant, and Included In the resolution waa a request to the Board of Estimate to direct that condemnation proceedings be begun, and another request to the Municipal Assembly that that body authorize proceedings for the acquirement of the franchises and plant of the company. The company has a contract with the LONDON CLERK ROBS NEW LONDON, Nov. 15.

15. The authorities regard as a hoax the facts implied in the communication received from England that a murder was committed last May at Three Rivers, In this town. They are working on the case, however, determined to prove its truth or falsity. The communication was a letter from E. Silver, Superintendent of Hants Constabulary, Gosport, dated Nov.

1, stating that John Colnwood, a soldier in the Kings Royal Rifle Regiment, stationed at Gosport, had made a confession of Importance to the police of Three Rivers, and inclosing a copy, which reads as follows: "Gosport, Oct. 22, 1000. "Confession made by William Barrington Taylor, alias John Colnwood William Barrington Tayior, alias John Coin-wood, do hereby confess that on May 14, 1000, I wilfully poisoned my wife, Nelly Coinwood, at Three Rivers Junction, Mass, U. S. and cast her body into the river, and I am willing to give myself up for the same crime.

(Signed) "JOHN COLNWOOD. A letter accompanying this confession says that Colnwood is committed for trial at the Hampshire Court for attempting to commit suicide. In all probability the confession was made while Colnwood believed himself in extremis. The police have not been able to find any one who remembers any one by the name of Coin-wood. From another source comes the Information that an Englishman, who rep resented himself as a soldier in the Boer war, was In Three Rivers for a short time last April or May, working on the dam at Bed Bridge.

GARRY OFF SAFE. BOSTON, Nov. 15.

A bold daylight rob bery occurred some time yesterday, when the rooms of David Morse, at 85 Iwell street, i were broken into, and a safe wetghing 300 pounds, and containing over $3,000 In money, diamonds, watches and other jewelry, waa taken out boldly, and carried away. suffer death as an example to his people with the hope that it might tend in the future to better their condition and prevent them from any similar Crimea On the trial of the case It was shown that an agreement had been entered into by all of the Indians immediately after the killing, that the person who fhould tell of this to the white men should alone suffer for the crime, as every one would swear that he alone had committed the murders. Hansen made no attempt to defend himself at the trial. The other Indians raised a large sum for attorneys fees and exhausted every technicality to escape punishment. In a letter to the Attorney-General, the Judge who tried and aentenced the converted murderer wrote: Hls entire conduct during the several trials of the other Individuals, as well as his own, convinced me of the honesty of his confession and the purity of the motives that Induced it.

That he was moved and controlled by a high religious fervor there can be no doubt The last act In the drama, when I reluctantly passed sentence of death upon him. In answer to the usual question, why sentence should not now be pronounced, he answered with undaunted heroism, a benignant smile upon his face, My brother, I have done my duty; now you do Such rare fortitude have never before witnessed. This man has done much for the cause of justice in Alaska. To bang him would, In my opinion, be unwise. I therefore gladly Join in a recommendation to commute his sentence to a life Imprisonment.

EAST NORTHFIELD, Nov. 15 Regarding reports that the Rev. G. Campbell Morgan of London had been invited to come to this country and take WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.

President McKlniey to-day commuted to life Imprisonment the sentence of Hansen, an American Indian, who was condemned to die for murder. The story of the crime and the subseuont behaviof of Hansen make one of the most remarkable chapters ever unfolded at the Department of Justice. About Oct 1, 1899, Burt and Florence Horton, a young couple living at Skagway, Alaska, started off In a boat on a fishing, hunting and prospecting trip. They were never again seen alive by white men. In March of the present year, Hansen, who had theretofore been regarded as one of the most reckless, dangerous and fearless Indians in Alaska, became converted to Christianity through the ministrations ofth Salvation Army at 8kagway, and soon after told Capt.

McGill, the leader of this organization at that place, that he. with some other comrades, had murdered a man and woman abcut thirty-five miles below Skagway, on Lynn Canal, on the main land, some six months before. McGill advised him to go to the United States Deputy Marshal, Mr. Tanner, and make his confession. This he did.

and'accompanled Tanner, with a posse, to the place where the murders were committed, and although the snow was some eight, or nine feet deep at that time, he located the spot where he claimed this young couple had been buried, within two feet of where, upon" digging through the snow, the bodies were discovered. Without any question Hansen at: the time he made this confession and gave the names of those who were Implicated had no other hope or expectation than that he would be executed for his crime. He frequently stated that he desired to charge of the Moody schools, and so far as possible take up the work of the iate Dwight L. Moody, A. P.
