KANY DIE IN FEARFUL CRASR. - atalities Exceed Twenty in Montreal Disaster-Fire Added to Horror of Sit.ation. Montreal, June 13.-Between 20 and 30 people lost their lives today when supports of the sprinkler system tank, on the roof of the Herald build -ing, gave away, r- 1 the great mass of metal and water, weighing thirty-five tons, went crashing to the basement. Fire broke out immediately, adding its horrors to the disaster. The fire men displayed splendid heroism in rescuing scores of people' from peri lous positions in the tottering walls. Some of the walls had to come down before the work of recovering the bodies could be safely attempted, and it was not until after 6 o'clock this evening that the first body, char re a enged beyond recognition.: THE CARE OF THE DRNKING WATER SUPPLY. Clemson Extension Work.-Ar tiele IX. Health is of first importance in al occupations, since it governs th ability of the individual to do work The progressiveness of a communit; is governed by its healthfulness, an this healthfulness is measured large ly, directly or indirectly, by the pur ity of its drinking water. Almost ou: entire rural population and the in habitants of a majority of our smal' towns get their supply of drinkinj water from springs or from shallov wells. It is to call attention to th( often improper surroundings of thes( sources of drinking water that thi article is written. The principal diseases supposed t< be communicable through the drink ing water are typhoid fever, cholera dysentery and other diarrhoea] affec tions, cholera infantum, animal para sitic diseases, enteric fevers and scarlet fever. Of the diseases men tioned typhoid fever, cholera, dysen tery, cholera infantum and scarle fever may also be carried by milk enteric fever and typhoid by flies and typhoid by raw oysters and rav [ruit. In order that the water sup ply or any of the other agencies men tioned may carry these diseases it iE arst necessary for them to become in fected with the specific infectior which communicates the disease. Thi infection of all of the sources men tioned except mosquitoes, is derive rom the ejecta of a patient suffering Erom the disease. It is a fact proven by statistics tha the water borne diseases begin to in ,rease in July and are at their maxi mum during August and September lecreasing in October. The Spring-The ideal condition, Eor the spring are that its watershed is uninhabited, that the watershed loes not contaiti stables, barnyards pig pens, privies, cesspools or ceme .eries; and it should not be traversed by railroads nor highways for all o: these make infection possible. ThE reedom from all of these objections is not always obtainable. The spring should be ditched around in such a way as to carry off all of the s.urfacE water, both during a downpour o: rain and from ponded areas, and nev er allow it to be overflowed and fill ad with filth or trash of any kind. ThE surroundings must be scrupulous13 :lean. The spring itself should bE walled with rock and covered, to pre rent trash from falling into it. The Well.-Too many of our welli ire located in the barnyard, in ordea :hat water may be convenient for thE stock, 'regardless of sanitary 'condi ions. The source of the drinking water for the family should be re Enoved from any such possible dan ;er of infection. The well should be located on a well drained area, remote from barns pig pens, privies, cesspools, ceme :eries or drains, and should be ce nented from the edge outward to thE listance of several feet. Above thE surface of this cement, a tight bos hould be built and a tight fitting sover provided, if buckets are used Phe pump is much to be preferred tc :he bucket because -it lessens thE langer of trash falling into the well all waste water should be drained ofi and no water allowed to spill bacil nto the well. No puddles should bE dlowed to form nearby in which hogs night wallow. The hog is a greal gatherer of filth, and by wallowing it i puddle which drains into a well :here is great danger of infection. Deep wells, properly protected t< prevent an inflow of surface watei at the top, are to be preferred t< aither shallow wells or springs, es pecially in the southern part of this tate. T. E.

New York, June 13.-Char'es K Eamilton arose from Governor's Is and in an .aeroplane this morning and sped, without a break, 88 miles to Philadelphia, in a successful cross country flight under the auspices o: the New York Times and the Philadel phia Public Ledger. He made th< rip in one hour and fifty-one minutes eaving Governor's Island at 7.35 anc landing at Philadelphia at 9.36. Alighting at the aviation field, hE lelivered letters, from Governoi Fughes and Mayor Gaynor, to Gov* arnor Stuart and Mayor Reyburn; ac 3epted messages of congratulatior from them to bear in return, anc started for New York again, with on ly a brief intermission for food, fue id oil. He had flown approximatel.3 i0 miles of his return journey, wher a sluggish motor drove him to de ler was broken there in landing, but' after repairs had been made, Hamil-i .ton resumed his flight at 6.20 and landed at Governor's Island at 6.39. Thus the return trip was made in one hour and 36 minutes, at an average speed of 54.96 miles an hour, which breaks the record made in the Cur 1 tiss flight from Albany to New York. That Hamilton did not make the re turn trip as easily as the outgoing ' trip was due only to an omission of I haste. He neglected to clean his! - spark plugs; they fouled, the engine - balked and he had to come down on cthe banks of the Raritan river, two - miles above South Amboy. DISPENSARY SALES DECREASE. Of the Six Wet Counties in South Carollna Beaufort, Only, Shows an Increase. Columbia, June 13.-The dispensary - sales for six counties of the State for the month of May were nearly $20,000 less than for the month of April, ac cording to the monthly report of Dis pensary Auditor West. The total sales for the month of May were $168,474.22. The breakage amounted to $524.92. The following is a comparative statement of the business of the dis pensaries in six counties of the State for May and April. May. April.

It will be seen from the above table that there was a falling off in the sales in Charleston county of over $6,000. There was a $4,000 decrease in Richland and a $2,000 decrease in Aiken county. Those acquainted with the situa tion in the State are of the opinion that the decrease in the sales of the dispensaries has been caused by the increased shipments by express from tojvns outside of the State and the in crease in the number of illicit deal ers, or an increase in the business of the illicit dealers.
