The Board Of Health accepted the diff

bat by their action have decided that the
latter report embodies their view by pass
ing resolution instructing the Health
Officer to give clean bills of health to al
vessels sailing from this port. This he
emphatically refused to do; and they
passed resolution unseating him for re-
fusing to do the will of the Board. We
admire the spirit that prompted Lester in
refusing to act against his judgement in
the case; he loses by this refusal, the Luz
crative position of Health Officer and to
a young man just starting in life it is quite
good thing.

ATTORNEYS FOR THE so-called defense
in the Star-route cases appeared in Court
this morning, before Judge Cox, with mo-
tion to quash the mongrcl paper called in
formation, which had been filed at the in.
stance of the Government prosecutors, and
to proceed, if at all, by due forms of rccog-
nized legal methods, namely, by indictment
in proper shape preferred by jury now
convened for the transaction of just such
business. AS the case now stands, five gen.
tlemcn of character and position are sub
stantially resting under ridiculous impu-
tation of dishonesty, although practically
debared from meeting the charge
by due legal process of examination.
This point was clearly brought
out by Mr.. Enoch Tottcn and Judge
Jere Wilson before the court, but it
remained for Colonel Ingersoll, who
appeared for Mr.. Brown, to photograph the
screaming farce of Extra Billy Cook Off
cial phraseology. This so-called informa-
tion lodges most fercely comic charge
against Mr.. Brown. He is first named as a
conspirator, and Gen. Brady is then al
luded to as n aco-conspiratOr. Here we have
the outlines of beautiful, dramatic and
diabolical plot Having thus established
the conspiratory character of Gen. Brady
and Mr. Brown, the paper goes OH to ac-
cuse the said Brown of convcrsing with
Brady and using all possible influence on
him in order to carry out the terms of the
plot. This is what might be properly
termed conspiracy to conspire, and will
remind the intelligent reader of the comic
chorus of conspirators in the opera OF
Madame Angot.'
of course, the blood-thirsty "conspira.
tors" were released on their own recog
nizance till the court has time to announce
nominal bail, and then the lawyers will
follow mp the advantage already gained by
pressing the motion to quash. Up to this
writing we feel authorized to state that nc
member of the "conspiring" company has
lost an inch of sleep over the attitude o.
! the case
