Westbrook, an operator, and Adolph Westbrook, a messenger, brothers, who are employed by the Western Union Telegraph Company here, are both suffering with typhoid fever at their home in East Kinston Adolph, the younger, has a mild case of the disease, but the operator has been seriously ill. FIRE ALARM ACTED QUEER. The fire department was called this morning shortly after midnight to a ibouae on East Blount street, owned by John Zacharias, colored. The dwelling was damaged to the extent of about $00. The . Indicator at the City Hall station registered one num ber and the bell in, the, tower clang ed out another, canusing the men mho were about to answer the alarm. TVarious causes ar',eug jested for this, but at City Hall it is insisted that some one tampered with the me chaniam. Out at Box 24, Blount and East streets, the man who turned in the alarm had a genuine shock when J in his bare feet, on the wet ground,1 lie pulled the lever in the box. his body completing the circuit from the ground circuit to the box, but this, those in charge of the alarm system ay, could have had nothing to ) with the queer actions of tho bell and the indicator. The regular monthly report by the State Laboratory of Hygiene upon Kinston's city water, following close ly upon the special report by an ex pert early in the week, confirms the rexperts's analysis and opinion that the supply is absolutely free from contamination. In fact, the report is one of the most satisfactory ever had. There are no vestiges of sediment, color (of platinum-cobalt standard), turbidity or odor cold. Odor, hot, is slight. Alkalinity, in terms of cal cium carbonate, is placed at 115.0. Chlorine is visible and marked at 6. Nitrogen as nitrates is mentioned as 0.02, but there is an utter lack of ni trogen as nitrites. I Colon bacilli are lacking in any per centage, and there is a total absence of acid-producing bacteria. Of other bacteria, which probably multiplied after the water was placed in the bot tle for shipment to the laboratory at Raleigh, and all of which are entire ly harmless and to be found in any unsterilized water, there are 2,600 at 20 C. per c. c.
