That our people should be on their guard
to prevent the spread of infections and
contagious diseases is not matter of
doubt. In all parts of the country dir hthe-
ria, scarlet fever and smallpox seem to be
spreading and so prevalent have the first
two become in Boston that public funerals
are prohibited. These diseases are also
very prevalent in many Michigan towns.
some in our immediate vicinity and the
utmost caution should be exercised to pre-
vent their introduction and spread in this
city. To that end all our Streets by-ways,
lots and out buildings should be put into
the best possible condition and ali other
steps, especially the free use of disinfect-
ants resorted to that we may be protected
from these terrible scourges. To this end,
at u meeting of the Board of Henlth GA
Saturday night, the following resolution
was adopted and the Secretary instructed
to furnish copies for publication in the city
papers:
Resolved, That the Health officer be
and he is hereby instructed to make such
an examination in all cases where persons
are reported sick with contagious or in
fectious diseases, as he shall deem neces-
sary to determine whether it is necessary
to quarantine the premises, and to take
such other steps as he may deem necessary
to protect to the uttermost possible degree
the public health.

dren, living on the corner OF Columbus and
Gibbon streets, took an ounce OF laudanum
Saturday afternoon last with the Intention OF
committing suicide. She remained In stupor
for several hours before the cause OF her Ill
ness became known. When DR.. Smith, who
was sent for, arrived, no found tho woman
black In the face, and did not think there was
any hope for her. He went to work, however,
and succeeded, after several hours, In arousing
her. Watchers then took charge OF the wo-
man and spent tho night in walking, pinch
ing, and switching her. This morning she is
.considered out OF danger. The cause OF the
rash act was trouble, domestic and financial.
Mrs. Verdon's husband died In d strange man
ner q few months ago.

about the face by the explosion OF some acids
che was using In cleaning beds mt her resi-
dence on Fairfax street Saturday last, is much

Samuel Hayden and Ben Posey were ar
rested here Saturday afternoon on the charge

decision and send the young thieves to the
chain.gang for thirty or sixty days, as the
boat was probably not worth SUFFICIENT

d. Frank Bigelow, tho defaulting teller OF
tho National Bank OF tho Republic, whose ar
rest In Michigan last Friday was exclusively
announced In THE CRITIC, reached this city
on Saturday night, in the custody OF Dotectiv
McDevitt and Private Detective Flinders. At
tho d. & p. depot the party were met by De-
tectivo vCss and Mr.. II. X. Elliott, counsel for
the bank. Entering carriage, they were at
once driven TO Judge SHELLS residence, where
Mr. Enoch Totten, who had been retained rs
co unset for Mr.. Bigeow, was In waiting.
The counsel and Judge Smell conversed TO.
gether for n few minutes, when Judge Snoll,
addressing Mr. .Bigelow, said he would be forced
TO commit him to jail until Monday. Mr.. Bige.
low, with perfect sang Jroid, said "All right"
and bowling to the Judge, re.entored tho car
rfage, and In company with Detectives voss
cred over to Warden Crocker's satellites.
Since his arrest Mr.. Bigelow has been very
reticent on anything connected with his de-
falcation, and at the jail yesterday declined to
talk.
In tho Police Court this afternoon Mr.. Coyle,
the prosecuting oflcer, said that owing TO tho
pressure brought by the friands OF d. Frank
Bigelow, he would request the Court to fix
bail In the case. He said that no held two
warrants charging separate embellishments,
one on January 81, OF $5,360.41, and tho other
on February 81, OF $3,6S4. These warrants
were sworn out by O. s. Bradley, ono OF the
bank onlcials, and as that gentleman had
stated that tho populations were much moro
extensive than those charged, he would ask
bail at a figure sufficiently high to cover the
discrepancy known to exist, and would
Place the Figure Mt S35, 900.
Judge Smell notified Mr.. Bigelow's father.in-
law and friends that bail could DO given at any
timo In the sum named.
The Amount of the DcfalcatiOn.
II has always been suspected that the bank
was issuing absolute falsehoods concerning
the amount Of the deficiency, and the period
embraced by. the populations, and the suppo.
sitlon is now made IN apparent fact. While
the bank has stated that the embezzlement
equalled only eight or ten thousand and OK
tended over period of only a few weeks they
have furnished n table TO the clerk Mt Police
Court, showing the entertainments back TO jan
uary ], which shows various Items ranging
from $500 to $4,000, and aggregating about
$4,000. They state there were other serious
Irregularities previous to January 1.
There Is no longer any doubt that tho haul
equaled or exceeded $4,000.
Captain Prince, clerk oil the Police Court, re-
manned at the court until 3 80 p. m. with Q
view to accepting bail for Bigelow II offered
At that hour n Communication was received
