There is perhaps no disease within our
midst forthe last year or more which is so
watched by public eye as that
of small pox. For that reason the follow
ing Information will be read with some
interest The number of cases admitted to
the county pest house since January !,
1888, sum up SO. About 10 were brought
from the county within radius of y
miles from the city. The "A others came
from the city, about one-third of whom
were marines, having taken sick on board
of various boats, and were landed at this
noint, whence they were sent to the pest
house.
There has been some complaint of late
that the ambulance driver was guilty of
the imprudent act of conveying parties to
the city on his return trip, thereby lend
ing a helping hand to the further spread
ofthe disease. Upon a thorough investi-
cation the rumor proved to be a mistake
Every precaution is used both in the city
and at the hospital TO prevent It's spread.
The buildings are enclosed by an upright
plank fence ten feet high, and the gates
kept locked. No visitors are admitted
except those connected with the institu-
tion, Patients before leaving are put
through the usual disinfscting process.
The number of cases admitted Since June
! have been 9, 7 of whom were brought
from a few miles north of the city. The

and county, it is gratifying 20 state that

LONDON, JUNE 1.-THE Irish dynamite
conspirators, Dr. Gallagher, BERNARD Gal

Wilson, charged with treason and felony,
were brought UP for trial this morning.
The courtroom was crowded.
Mr.. Clarke, OF the counsel for the de-
Tense, challenged three jurors on behalf of
DR.. Gallagher. Henry James, Attorney
General, opened the case for the prosecg
ton. He said the prisoners were charged
with an otiense very near high treason. 1t
was necessary to prove that all had in
tended to levy war against the Queen. 1t
was sufficient to show that a conspiracy
existed TO take lives and destroy property
without regard TO who suffered. He said
Bernard Gallagher was in a different posi-
ton from the other prisoners. His own
statement might be considered to connect
with him dynamite plot. but the evil
dence in regard to him required confrma-

His Strange PrOceedings-Ru-

fairs Are Complicated.

ST. LOUIS, June ia Post Dispatcb
extra announces that the whereabouts of
ex-Judge Chester H. Krum is now known.
Mrs. Krum was notified yesterday by G.
W. Thiel, Manager of Thiers Private
Detective Agency, that her husband was
on board the Central Pacific train bound
west and would breakfast at Ogden this
morning. Krum has ticket for Salt
Lake City only. 1t appears that Judge
krum, on leaving St. Louis. April 18th,
went to Chicago, thence to New York.
Stopping one day at the Albemarl
Hotel he left there in a hack
and was driven to the Pacific Mail
steamer, which sailed for Panama. whence
he proceeded to San Francisco. He was
recognized on the train by 9. T. New
comb, son of ex-United States Marshal
Newcomb, who filed that office when
krum was Unitod States District Attor-
ney. The mystery of Judge Krum's ac-
ton in taking this trip, leaving his family
and relatives in ignorance of his where
abouts and his large law business unat-
tended to, is still unexplained. 1t is
feared, however, his financial affairs are
complicated. Further information is
expected from Newcomb, who is on the
train with Krum.

the district choice of the party in this state
I refer, second to his appointment of thor
oughly and VIGOROUSLY disreputable person to
the most lucrative Office in his life. This was
done when he made II. A. Castle inspector of
oils. The known fact that the governor is
heartily sick of his bargain and does not
even conceal his contempt tor his own appoint
ee, scarcely helps the case or him. Gov. Hub
bard knew perfectly well the gross unftness of
Castle for any official station before he sent in
his name, and the people are perplexed to know
how an executive who is at the same time COM
petent and upright, could iunocently commit
such wrong. If the Governor finds his for
mer majority greatly reduced next month he
will know to what to attribute two parts of the
trouble. REPUBLICAN.
Republican uses plain Saxon and he
hits the bulls eye. Friendly as the Trib.
,s,sc is to Gov. Hubbard's administration
and to his reelection, it has not left him
in ignorance of the popular disspproval
of the two blunders named by our CORE
spondent. His attitude IN the senatorial
contest was thoughly un-Republican and
grossly indiscreet viewed from the side of
his own interest. His appointment of
the fellow Castle to state Office was an
act of incomprehensible and inexcusable
folly. The stencil of it grows more in
tolerable as the appointment grows older
and the advocacy of Hubbard's candidacy
by the oil inspectors ill-smelling newspa-
per would be sufficient to defeat less
popular nominee Ali this is undeniable,
but the Tribune advises all Republicans to
overlook pair Of errors which Lucius F.
Hubbard probably regrets as much as any
other citizen, to keep solid front pre-
sented to the common antagonist and re-
member that 1854 is presidential year.

Irish National League.

The meeting of the Irish National Lea
que last evening, had the largest attend
ance since its organization. Twelve new
members were admitted and an interesting
programme of literary and musical char
acter was presented and much enjoyed by
the intelligent audience. The exercises
opened by a fine address on the "Irish
Soldier" by Mr.. Gibbons. The address
had been previously given by him and it
was only by urgent request he was pre-
vailed upon to repeat it last evening. The
repetition of this Grafton ELECTED unbound
ed enthusiasm, and gained Mr.. Gibbons a
vote of thanks.
Messrs. Wall and Ryan next sang duet
with piano accompaniment, and acquitted
themselves most creditably, so much so
that they received an encore, to which Mr..
Wall res pondsd, being Joined by Mr.. Len
non.
Mr.. Donahu was called on and respond
ed rather reluctantly on the ground of
being unprepared. He, however. delivered
an instructive address and was closely
listened to. He 6welt on the intellectual
status of the Irish race both in this coun-
try and in Europe, and said the Irish
people were now III Ine van,
from an educational point of
view. They had inaugurated the
movement which is aiming at the destruc-
ZION of the infamous feudal laws that
have impoverished the producing classes
of every country in which they prevail.
Irish names adorn the historical pages
of every nation in which the Irish exile
has cast his lot, and he was sanguine that
the country which produced SO many men
eminent in every department Of literature,
science and art, and which has been strug-
Cling for its freedom from the thralI of
England for seven centuries, will event L
ally succeed in taking its proper place
among free and independent nations.
Miss Grow, a music teacher lately from
Canada, rendered fine piano selection
With song and was raptuously applauded.
