WHEELING w. VA, MONDAY MORNING, JULY IA, 1879

stringent even to absolute non-inter-
course, this board has no power TO In
terfere. 1t is only when the State or
local authority refuses to take even the
precaution considered indispensable
by this board that we can take action
legally in the matter. In the next place
! would observe that this board is not
expected TO do all the work Of preyen-
ton nor TO pay for the doing OF
such work. The State and local
boards should first do what they can,
and then we can come in TO supplement
their efforts TO aid and cooperate. In
the term of the law it is, therefore, the
duty of the State and local authorities to
keep the National Board fully informed
on the following points, viz:
|. AS to what rules and regulations
they have adopted.
2. AS to how far they can carry out
the rules and regulations.
3. AS to what aid they think it neces-
sary that the National Board should fur
nish in order that the proper rules and
regulations may be enforced.
With regard to this request for aid, de-
tails should be given. This Board cannot
place money in the hands of the local
board to be expended at the discretion
of the latter. 1t must be known what
the money is TO be used for, whether for
hire of Inspectors or Police; for pur-
chase of disinfectants; for erection OF
sheds for purposes OF establishing local
quarantine, etc. Please make these
points clear to the members of the
Council and let us have no unnecessary
delay in the action by the health officers
represented in this Council. need
hardly saw to you that il is the desire
of this Board TO do everything in its
power to preuent the spread OF
the yellow fever, by aiding State and
municipal boards of health i'll their ef-
forts to discover the first cases, TO isolate
them and thus stamp out the disease, as
well as carry out the usual systems OF
quarantine, and am glad to be able to
assure you that the Secretary OF the
Treasury is in accord with these views,
and has promptly approved special es-
innate made by this Board for funds to
aid the health authorities of Memphis,
and of the State of Tennessee to pre-
vent the spread of the fever to adjoining
States, but the power of this besides is
very small as compared with that pos
sessed by local authorities. One more
observation and am done. Don't let
quarantine occupy the attention of yonr
Council to the exclusion of municipal
which last is the great OBJ
jcct to be secured. Keep us fully in
formed as to your operations, and be
sure your recommendations will receive
very prompt attention. Very truly
yours, JOHN 5. BILLINGS,
Vice-Prestdent Natl Board OF Health.

Special Dispatch to the Register.

Special Dispatch to the Register
BARNEsvILLE, o., July 18th.
Last night about twelve o'clock the
door of the house Of John McIlvaine, a
bachelor farmer, who resides alone at
Burton's Station, was broken open with
fence rail. Mr.. McIlvaine scarcely
realized the fact until he was attacked
by three masked men. Although he
made vigorous resistance, he was over
powered, after being beaten over the
head, his pockets were then rifed OF
their contents. A valuable gold watch
was taken and money amounting to
Si05. A gold piece, bearing date OF 1878,
may possibly lead to the Identification
of the thieves. After emptying his
pockets, rope was placed around his
neck, pistol at his head, and an effort
made to force Mr.. McIlvaine to disclose
the existence of other money, but as
they had taken all he had this attempt
was failure. The robbers then, after
binding and gagging Mr.. McIlvaine, left
the premises. After considerable effort,
he managed to loosen his hands and
went to neighbours house and gave the
alarm. No clue has been found except
some pieces OF old under clothing
which were used as masks, and some
tracks have been discovered in a stubble
field. Who the robbers are is mys-
terry. They told Mr.. NJ. that they knew
him and he knew them, but this is
doubtful. Mr.. NJ. is a wealthy farmer
and lives alone at his residence at Bur-
toms Station, although there are several
houses near his residence.
Mr.. Joel Evans, wealthy farmer
near Jerusalem, Monroe county, COM
mitted suicide last week by hanging
himself in barn. Financial troubles
