CONSUL SHEPARD.
The Reported Assn sassinution of the American
Consul mt YeddO, japan.

COusut mt 1eddOs Japan
A telegram received from London a few days
since announced that rumor was in crcula-
ton to the effect that the American Consul at
Yeddo, Japan, had been killed by the natives.
The Buffalo Commercial of May 2, referring to
the subject, says
The gentleman alluded TO is Charles o. Shepard,
OF this CITY, formerly Clerk TO the Board of Niagara
Frontier Police Commissioners, an estlmable young
man, me ~ unusual ability for his years.
Nothing beyond the despatch alluded to is known
in regard to this painful rumor and time will
probably elapse before authentic information is
ceived.
The following extract from letter written by Mr.
Shepard to friend in this city, bearing date Yeddo
March 80 and received four days SINCE goes 10 snow
that trouble was apprehended at Yeddo, and also,
we are panied to admit, to strengthen the proba-
bty Of the truth OF the report concerning the mur-
der OF the United States Consult
'There is going to be row, war in Japan, and
until that is settled, there is, and will be, prOstra-
tiOn OF business, There are lots of 'Japs'
who like foreigners and five or six times as many
that hate them, and would, If they dared, cut them
into mince meat. We don't stir out lately without a
revolver and a guard, and in case OF a row, the
guard is not worth sou. notice was stuck on
my door only week ago, telling me to 'piggypggy'
that means, get out-go; but have not gone yet.
It has not been until within the last two months
There are only nine Americans in Yeddo, and only
twenty-five foreigners altogether"

The PestiIeDce sill ut ITS Work-The Board of
Health Cleansing the District.
The relapslng fever, which has created such
CONSERVATION in the Bedford street section of
the city, is still under full headway, but the
Board of Health are now fully aroused, and are
hard at work renovating the infected district.
Gangs of men are now at work. part of them
being engaged in whitewashing, and others
in cleaning out the filthy cellars
which have been used for lodging
purposes, and have become the nests of the
fever. The accumulation of filth in these
wretched abodes is perfectly frightful to con-
template, and when one gets sight of it, the
presence of deadly fever ceases to cause sur
prise. The whole neighborhood needs a tho
rough cleansing, and has long needed it, even
without the incentive of the relapsing
fever. Williams the inspector Of the
Board of Health, who has been
on duty in this district, has been supplanted by
Mr. Martin, change that was very desirable,
and promises to be productive of much benefit.
The Inspector and the medical staff of the Board
of Health make their headquarters at the Mission
House, No. GIG Bedford street, where they can
be consulted by all who are interested.
Yesterday sixteen persons stricken down by
the fever were removed to the Smallpox Hos
pital, and about the same number to-day. The
ambulance makes three trips daily, starting
from the Mission House. where application for
transportation can be made to the Rev. j. d.
Long.
