THE AUTHORITIES WATCHING DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS
WAsHINeToN, March 13.-The medical
authorities here are watching the develop
ments in the Ohio valley with a good deal
| OF interest. Some are of the opinion that
the overflow must result in great amount
OF sickness OF a dangerous AID fatal char
sc'er, while others hope that no serious re-
suits may follow. Just what the course will
be In regard 10 the matter is not yet deter
mined. correspondent yesterday called at
the office of The National Board of Health
to ask about the probable course Of the board
IN reference 10 this and other matters, or
whether under the mesger appropriation
given them they would be able to accomplish
anything in this line.
"We can't tell yet" responded the amiable
oficial, "what our work will be. There are
good many things 20 be taken into consid-
GRAFTON, and besides We cannot yet learn
whether we shall have anythiDg with which
to do the work, should there be necessity
for it."
"But there is a contingent fund OF
100000, isn't there, to be used for purposes
OF this nature"
Yes; but it is moi yet determined whether
it will be placed under the direction of the
National Board Of Health or under the Ma
rine Hospital Service The President has
the distribution OF II. He is authorized 10
make use OF it to suppress epidemics, if they
make their appearance. Whether it can be
used in taking steps TO prevent epidemics /
do not know. Such has not been the case
heretofore, but l understand the bill this
year is worded little differently"
SD you think there ia danger Of epidemies
following the oveIAow%
"That is pretty hard to answer. I gave
the matter good deal of sttentiou last year
about the lims OF the Mississippi overflow,
and | found that while epidemics do occa-
sionally follow in cases o. this kind il is not
by any means the rule. Indeed, the reverse
is generally true. Now, last GUNNER, you
will remember, it was expected that terrible
epidemics would follow the Mississippi over
flow, but the expectations were moi realized.
l think that much depends on the weather.
Ii we should happen to have very hot
summer serious results might follow; if not,
is is probable that none will be observable"
'If the bill gives nothing to the board to
use in case of opideuics, shall you be able
10 continue your inspection OF immi grants st
the ports of entry and on trains"
"Ihat l cannot tell, as nothing has yet
been determined upon that point"

CURRENT EVENTS.

DOUBT ia expressed az to whistler the Rev
DR. Nicholson, the newlyelected bishop of Indiana,
will accept. His health has not been good since
he was student in college, and as consequence
six years. He was finally ordained in 1872, and
has served with much acceptance as rector oil
churches in Baltimore, Westminster, Md, and
Philadelphia. He is Classed an old-fashioned
High Anglican; that is, he is moderately High
Church man, without being an extreme Rttualst.
In Blacks Shdnao1 Bells, one experienced
newspaper writer has this to say TO another who
is comparatively green: Young reviewers dom

Compile In Ned.
A dastsrdly attempt was made Thursdsy
night In Secret Canyon to murder Angelo
Csssano and his wife, who together run .
miners saloon. These inofFensive persons
had gone to bed and we're asleep, when
about half-past 10 O'Clock some cowardly
villain shot twice through the side Of the
house. One Of the bullets struck near
mrs. Cassano's head and buried itself in
the framo work Of the bedstead. The
other passed just above the bed clothes
ana struck the wall opposite. The bullets,
IN possession OF OfieEs Mckay, are very
large. and were probably discharged from
= rifle or from . pistol Of unusual caliber.
The shots were well aimed, evidently BY
somebody who Is familiar with the prem
iees or had inspected the situstion with .
sinister purpose in view. CAsssno was
completely dumbfounded ct the would-be
sssassin's attempt. He says he does not
know Of anybody in his neighborhood who
mas anything whatever against himself or
bis wife, or that would like 10 do them
harm. The news Of the affair was mot
communicated in the camp until yester-
day morning. In the meanwhile the per-
son who fred the shots doubtless ayailed
himself Of the opportunity TO get ont Of
the neighborhood II he il : stranger, or II
he belongs TO the camp, to 70 behave a. to
avoid suspicion. It 10 gratifying to know
that the officers have . clue in the matter,
and that the guilty party IL likely to be
arrested and made to pay the penalty for
his outrageous crime.
