THAT DEAD HORSE.
Jlr.McPheetersSayshe wk Ilebur
ied at Midnight
Monday the Visitor gave the facts
In the ease of the dead borss which
was in the limits of the water shed
from which Raleigh's water supply
comes. What a stir those facts caused
everybody in this town knows.
This morning a man came lo town
and said the hurse was still In the
same place. The Visitor at once
asked Mr. McPbeeters, superintendent
of the water works if this were so.
Mr. McPheterssaid: "Last night about
midnight Mr. McMackin and myself
asd eight convicts dug np that horse,
put the oarcass in a wagon, hauled it
to a field which I think is a mile away,
aad reburied it at a point which Dr.
McKee designated. We found the
horse in a hole seven feet deep and
there was lime on it. We filled np
the hole with dry earth and it is this
which caused the statement that the
carcass had not yet been removed.
The place where the carcass was re
buried is not in the water aaed. We
found the oarcass but little decayed
and pulled it ont with ropes."
People say that Mr. McPheeters
made a great mistake in not going to
the place and removing the carcass
Saturday morning just as soon as he
was notified of its presence on the wa
ter shed. They also say that Mr. Me-
Mackin ought to be prosecuted under
the act of 1887 for placing the carcass
where he did.
Dr. McKee says the etty water is
kept remarkably pare and that only
three times since the water works
were put in operation have any dead
animals been found in the watershed.
It is quite safe to say that there will
not again be such a ease aa this one,
which has angered and annoyed the
people here so greatly since Monday,
for next time there will be no each
unreasonable and nnexplainable de
lay.
It is now stated that as soon as Mr.
McPheeters heard of the dead ani
mal's being where it was on Saturday
he applied to Dr. Hines, as county
superintendent of health, for its re
moval, and was informed by nr. nines
that he had no authority to act in the
matter and that he would have to
apply to Dr. McKee, city superintend
ent of health, and Mr. McPheeters did
this.

THE CITY DEATH RATE.
A Remarkably Fine Showing is
Made.
The report of this city's health de
partment for the flsral years ending
Feb. 28, 1804. and 1805. was issued to.
day. Dr. McKee, president of tbe
board of health, says tbe report for
1804 shows a death rate for the two
races of 19.40 per 1.000. The death
rate among the colored rae was 24 to
the 1,000. That year there were 108
deaths of eolored, and of these 20 died
of consumption, 8 of pneumonia, 3 of
typhoid fever, 15 of intestinal dis
eases. There were that year 134 deaths of
whites, of which seventeen were of
pneumonia, fourteen of consumption,
0 of typhoid fever, 0 of acuta dysen
tery. The 9 deaths of typhoid out of
the total of 292 deaths during tbe
year, or a little over 3 per oent is said
by Dr. McKee to be below the average.
He says: "This low rate is attributa
ble to the careful surveillance exer
cised over the water supply to the
city, and from pumps and wells.
Whenever the water from pumps and
wells is suspeoted of being polluted
it it examined immediately, and if
found contaminated, is condemned
and not allowed to be uced. Nine
people dying out of 15 500, of typhoid
fever, is considerably less than 1 to
the 1,000."
During the year there were 320
births; 150 white, 169 colored; 28 more
births than deaths.
The report for the year ending Feb.
28, 1895 says the total number of
deaths was 269, or 23 less than in the
yer preceding, tbe rate being 17.70 to
1,000. Of these 127 were white, and
142 eolored. Among the whites 15
died of pneumonia, 10 of consump
tion 18 deaths were of gastro-intestin
disease. Of the colored 21 died of in
testinal disease, 16 of tubercular dis
eases. It is noticeable that not a
death is reported from typhoid fever
and it is also noticed that this disease
is diminishing among the colored peo
ple; Dr. McKee thinks the credit for
its diminution is due in great part to
the oolored physicians, who, in mak
ing their visits, not only insist upon
the carrying out of sanitary rules,
but see that they are strictly observed.
During the year there were 343 births;
74 more more births than deaths.
In Oakwood cemetery there
were 69 interments, in the oity ceme-
ery 41, in Mt. Hope 90, elsewhere 69.
Of the dead 69 were married, 41 sin
gle, 31 widows, 92 children, 9 widow
ers, 21 not stated. There were 80
stillbirths. Of the dead 231 wexe at
tended by a physioian. More deaths
occur in June than in any othei month.
Two persons over 00 years died, 15
over 80, 22 over 70. As to the wards
the death rate is far heaviest in the
southern ones. In these there were
175 deaths, and in the others 94.
Lord Chief Justice Campbell.
As was stated yesterday the distin
guished chairman of the Arrington
committee drew f 99.40. Today he
had that warrant cashed by the state
treasurer. It waa said last night that
the lord ohief justice would leave on
an early train this morning for his
beloved Cherokee sounty. But his
did not set off and at 10
o'clock was heard entertaining some
of his friends with aceounts of his
great labors during the session of the
Lirislature. He said: "In Cherokee
oounty people do not drink whiskey,
for the wter and buttermilk are teo
itood. But here we have to hit the
cornluice." Thus said his lordship
with an unctuous smile. He had evi
dently just had tome of the juloe.
