The three persons who gave bail yesterday were Peter
Feeney for whom John j. Hyatt accepted as bonds
man. John spier and James LOunsberry composing the
firm Of sper & LOunsbeTy A.V Stout president OF the
Shoe and Leather Bank became bondSman for spler'
and Levi Apgar for LOunsbery.
From officials of the Health Department it
was learned that nearly all of the indicted per-
sons held licenses from the Health Board. The
exceptions were the oil for whom licenses were not
thought by board to be and the soap boil
ers TO whom permits were not granted In the case Of
the Donahues the board had revoked their permit fire.
ouently and the last time about one week ago This
was done because the business carried on in an Often
siye manner and no permit would be granted until
some changes in their machinery and methods had been
effected. The board had begun criminal prosecutor
against Peter Feeney, and the oil works OF Lombard
Ayres were under the surveillance of the board - .
The question Of the possible indictment OF the Health
Comm by the Grand Jury was more generally
the suhje of comment yesterday, throughout the city
than among the members OF the aOaru IN @ ~
ident Chandler only AT the Office OF the board Tor
missioner Jancway refused TO converse about the matter
until more was known of the intention OF the Grand
Jury. Sanitary superintendent Day could say nothing,
he declared, and 1act he thought there Was moth
ing for him to say Colonel Emmons Clark, secretary
of the Health Board, thought that in the present
state OF public feeling, there seemed to be no
other way Than for the Grand Jurors to take the course
they thus far had pursued in the indictments lie did
nOt think the Board of Health would be injured by any
tat night ce Sdoq pa SG ~ o these
lshInens could stand any evidence that might be
brought against IN they ought TO be abolished,
and il the Health Commissioners had erred IN their judg
in any OF these cases. the courts were certainly the
places 10 SHOW II.
Considerable surprise was expressed at the Board Of
Health Office when the names OF the indicted firms were
read One Of the officials present said that the policy Of
the board had been To control not to suppress these
industries and that the Indictment OF some OF these firms
would drive large amount of business from the CITY,
The board had done great good during Its existence
OF twelve years and the establishments ola nature likely
10 be Injurious to the community had Deeh cOhcehtfd

the butchers, for instance, were compelled to remove
from the cythe poorer classes OF inc inhaotahs Wonn
have To pay an increased plee for their meats.
Moreover, very many poor people subsisted largely
on the bounty othese slaughterers VINO maze
practice OF giving away large quantlues Oi certain
parts of the animals killed. Especially was this true
during the Winter months when their charity uudOubt
edy saved the city much money. These indictments
and proceedings might drive away from the city indus
tries wnh a yearly business Of millions Of dollars.
Colonel Prentice, counsel for the Board OF Healih
when asked for information IN regard to the
cases said that lie knew nothing whatever
about them 81 read this morning some
thing about a lot of indictments having been
found" he continued, but do not know thing about
them Rafferty, & Williams had permit fIom the
bOard,t but were under constant supervision. / think
the Algonquin OIL Works had permit also, but am
doubtful about the DOnahues. But tell you Know
nothing whatever about the indictments"
The Board OF Health held only short session yester
day, owing to the fact tnat President Chandler was
summoned as a witness III the COe nuisance case: An
Application was received from Thomas Mcmahon for
permit TO dump manure at Sxty-hrsst ana Ienth ave
it was found by the board that his business
had been to manure at that place Tor retailing
20 gardeners that this had been done without permit
and that IL MAS very offensive TO the residents OF tht
neighborhood. The permit was not granted. In addi
ton usual statements Of inspections made ny the
Sanitary Inspectors the report of the Superintendent f0
the week ending May - includes inspections OF thrty
one saugnter-hOuses, two fertiizing establishments
ninety fat rendering establishments, and SIX manure
