Ahsper Hospital.

San Francisco Bulletin.l e,s ..,
A resolution was adopted in the
Board Of Supervisors last evening,
directing the Health and Police
and Hospital committees to erect a
hospital on the grounds of the
Almshouse, to which all Chinese
lepers found in this city are to be
removed until an opportunity is
found to ship them back to China.
1t will not do to triAe with this
terrible disease any longer. That
there are Chinese lepers living
among us does not admit of a
doubt. Several Of them were
shipped back TO China by Super
visor Gibbs some time ago. But all
the cases evidently were not re-
ported TO him, for there are still
lepers in the city. Two have re-
gently been discovered. V'o. lH

THE election in Maine on Mon
day was attended with some aston
ishing results. The vote polled
was one Of the largest in the histo-
~ Of the State; reaching about 100
poo, against 10000, at the Pres.
idential election, and a little over
100000 at the gubernatorial
election last fall. The substantial
results are the election to Congress
Of George W. Ladd, Democrat and
Greenbacker, over Powers, Repub-
lican, in the Fourth district, and
the election of Thompson Murch,
Greenbacker, over Eugene Hale,
ia the Fifth district. Joseph H,
Martin was the Democratic candi-
date in this district, but seems to
have been dropped by his party for
the Greenbackers. The Republi-
cans elected the other three Con-
gresSmtn, Reed, Frye and Lindsey,
the present members. The Demo
Gratis were net satisfied with the
llard money ideas oi Garcelon, their
candidate for Governor, and largely
voted for Smith, the Greenback
candidate. On county officers and
members of the Legislature, there
appears to have been concert Of ac-
tion between the Greenbackers and
Democrats. The Senate is re-
ported to stand 20 Republicans

but it is understood that Ara Barton will be
very generally supported if presented by the
Rice county delegation. In case Barton is
counted out by his delegation, and Donnel-
ly's name should be presented, of which that
willy politician is strongly in hopes, he would
undoubtedly receive the earnest support OF
most of the delegation. At least number
of the delegates attend the convention for
the sole purpose of giving Donnelly lift

Lake Elmo.

The GLOBE has already called the atten-
ton Of the public to the advantages of Lake
Elmo as resort for a residence during the
heated term, and we would now
direct the public to this delightful
retreat for transient visits. For picnic
parties it is vastly superior, in point of ac-
commodations, to any other resort in this
region. The ample and beautifully located
grounds, the provisions for shelter in case of
storm, the amusements, the boats, sail and
row, the fishing, ETC., etc., all combine to make
itentertaining beyond description. Those not
wishing to make a protracted absence will
find that trip to Lake Elmo fer day or
two is most delightful and those who have
not been, will be surprised to see. the i'm
provements which have been made.
| This resort is twelve miles frsm st. Paul

Sherman. o.. Specie Pa,,,nent.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Secretary Sherman
says he has not decided to announce the re-
sumption of specie payments in advance of
the first of January next, the time fixed by
aw. He says, however, resumption may
come before that time by natural causes, or
when the premium on specie shall disappear;
that we are now approaching the point; and
that it is the duty of the government to en-
ploy all legitimate means to procure such a
result. The coin balance in the treasury is
about two hundred million and steadily in
creasing, as there is no idea the balance wi
fall below the present figure this, with the
present low premium on gold form the basis
of the general anticipation here that re-
sumption will occur before the first of Janu-

MISSISSIPPI RIVER NOTES.

The river dropped another inch yesterday,
the mark showing two feet eight inches.
The K. N. steamer Northwestern, Capt.
Lee, stuck fast on Frenchman's bar, Just in
side the city limits, necessitating transfer
of her trip to the Nellie Kent, which brought
up the passengers and freight with little de-
lay, and took down her return trip, the en-
tire transfer being completed, so that the
Northwestern headed for down stream about
o'clock.
The Belle of La Crosse is the next st.
Louis packet to leave, this afternoon.
The light draught and fast steamer Chew
er will be here early in the week to 20 into
the transfer business for the low water sea-
son, so that little, if any, delay will be occa-
stoned by the two or three troublesome bars
at this end of the line.

4 TASTY CONCLUSION,
Which Cost Woman Title and I. Baron
His Life.

his Al1es
It was announced that Baron Theodore
Won Jasmund, editor of the Detroit Folks.
bl0tt. was missing from Detroit. Soon after
the body of man about so was found on
the track of the Great Western railway near
Komaka, Canada. In the supposed suicides
hat was part of letter in lady's hand
writing, in which the words ssWabash avenue
927, Chicago" In the pockets were found
lady's gold watch, wedding ring marked
with initials and the date, '.May 20, 1873"
The dead man was identified as Theodore
Won Jasmund of Detroit, and the residents
of the Wabash avenue house furnished a
| history. Jasmund had become infatuated
with dashing young widow of Detroit,
Mrs. Overton. He told her his family
standing in Prussia, and history.
proposed to marry her, and she ac-
cepted. His brother is sec
rotary of the German emperor's cabinet; the
family estate is Jasmund, in southern Prus-
STA, and he was born to the title of baron.
He had been sixteen years in this country
and wanted to marry the pretty widow and
return home to his family and estates He
was to marry her as soon as he received
some expected money. But the money did
not come as expected, and the widow fear
ing she had been deceived by the ssnobleman
dodge" took alarm and went to Chicago,
927 Wabash avenue, to consult with some
friends there. She stayed with her friends
three weeks, and correspondent with the
baron during that time. At length she con-
cluded not to marry him-wrote him let
ter to that effect-left his presents to her,
watch, ring, &C., with the family, informed
him of the fact, and started off for Grand
Rapids, Michigan. Immediately after she
had gone two packages came addressed to
her, one containing $500 and the other
ST. 900. They were from the baron. lady
of the house then wrote to the baron inform
ing him of the arrival of the packages and
also package of his letters, the watch and
rings, DC, which Mrs. Overton had left there
for him. The baron went in person and re-
claimed his property. He was very much
detected and said that he had nothing to live
for now. In a day or two he left for De-
troit; left his valise in his room, babe his
roommate goodbye and disappeared. II
seems he went over into Canada to die. He
is supposed to have thrown himself from 8
train on the track. If the widow had waited
just little longer she might have been g
baroness.
