THE NATIONAL HEALTH BOARD
Various Cities, and Other I'm.
pOrtant Items.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL.
At the second days session of the National
Health Boards, delegates from the various
cities continued the presentation of reports
showing the sanitary condition of the cities.
After the presentation of the State reports,
Secretary McCormic of Kentucky made a
special report of the peculiar contagion in
West Virginia.
DR.. Carson, of Kentucky, reported that he
went where the epidemic was most prevalent
in Eastern Kentucky and procured samples
of drinking water. The geological formation
forbade the assumption OF mineral poison in
the water. The streams and ponds had
dried down to methods of malarial poison.
The disease was really epidemic dysentary,
caused by malarial poison and many patients
died because the people dida't believe in doc
tors. and called Them if at all, too late
The total number of deaths didn't exceed
225 in Kentucky. The people were deeply
aggrieved by the publication of exaggerated
reports of disease. Although the crops are
not abundant, yet the people have enough to
support them till the next harvest
DR.. A. j. Arberly, of Damascus, Syria,
detailed his experience with Asiatic cholera
in his native country. He said that half of
the prevention was won if you ran away. He
had also noticed that people living in ele-
vated countries escaped contagIOn.
The committees on federal relations, State
action, and municipal action sub
mitted reports which were adopted.
The committee on State action suggest that
it is essential that the officers of the State
or of federal boards in adjacent States should
promptly notify each other of any case of
cholera occurring in their midst.
1t is also essential that local boards shall
determine in advance how the first case shall
be cared for so as not to lose the valuable
time and allow the disease to gain foothoId.
1t is the judgement of the committee that
the time has come when the State health
boards should be recognized in some national
form as having authority to indicate what
sanitary measures are necessary and secure
the same through those departments of the
government under which they would nat
urally fall.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
SHAW MATTER.
An Objection to the Composition Settle-
ment by the Creditors.

BosToN, Dec. H.
A general objection has been made by the
creditors of F. Shaw & Bros, who have been
opposing the composition settlement, that
creditors who have proven their claims under
+. A. Wymans assignment and accepted the
same, cannot now prove insolvency, because
they are secured as creditors under the as
signment. At Cambridge, today, Judge
Brooks decided that voluntary assignment in
the case is neither security nor payment nor
partial payment under the law till distribu-
ton has been made so that the creditors have
right to prove their claims, without preju-
dice to their rights under the assignment.
The court assigned next Wednesday to hear
further objections which may be urged against
the composition and this will probably be the
last day for the proof of claims previous to
the adjourned confirmation meeting, which
will probably be held Dec 26.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
A Lady Attacked i'm New n ork, wednes.
day Afsernoon.-She Makes
Desperate Fight for Her
Property.

NEw York. Dec. H.
Mrs. VIM. Humphries,a wealthy widow re.
siding at PA West 18th street, was attacked
on the street near 7th Avenue at / 80 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, and robbed by three
young men, who escaped. Mrs. Humphries
had just left Macy's store where she made
some purchases and cashed check for $500.
Passing down 18th st. she found she was
being followed by three suspicious looking
men, and hurried towards her home just
after crossing 7th Avenue on 18th ST., the
first man came nearer to her and the others
had closed up and began to wrangle. Mrs.
VI. held the money in her hand, when the
first man touched her on the shoulder, and
said in an inquiring tone of voices 81 be-
lieve this is 18th St?" 'It is" said Mrs.
Humphries, calmly, ''and you and your
friends behind had better pass along withou:
another word" The desperate threw the
lady against the iron railing of one of the
houses, and Kissed: "Let go that bag or I'll
beat your brains out against the railing"
Mrs. Humphries shot out her right arm and
caught the villain by the collar, while she
held to her reticule with the other hand. The
two other men then sprang forward and bent
the lady backward over the railing, while she
screamed for assistance and clung to her
reticule.
The inside pocket of the ladys reticule was
towards her, and the pocket from which
her lace handkerchief protruded was towards
the three men. The recticule was torn in
half, and one of the men snatched the hand
kerchief side and fed. The other two men
fought desperately, and the lady held the
other side of the bag stubbornly. Her black
silk wrap was torn and her bonnet crushed
The diamonds in the ladys ears would soon
have been ripped away had not one of the
windows of house opposite suddenly lifted
and girl cried: "Police, police!" The
girl who had been in the window came to the
steps and shrieked. and several girls who had
noticed the gathering rushed up 18th street
A coach also stopped and two ladies stepped
out just as the two men fed. The assault
had not lasted pore than ten seconds. From
the time that tie first man had fed until his
companions, followed by two gentlemen, ran
towards Sixth Avenue, more than minute
had elapsed. The ladies in the coach went
to Mrs. Humphries and revived her and took
her home. The two gentlemen, followed by
a hundred other people, followed the despe-
radoes, but all escaped. They secured about
$75 only.

CHICAGO FRAUDS.
A Question Of Who substituted Ballots
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. IL.
Arthur Gleason, chief deputy in County
Clerk Rysn's Office, makes public this morn
ing, under his own signature, a statement
charging Henry Biehl, one of the employe' :,
in the county clerks office, with having alb
stracted the envelope containing the ballots of
the SECOND precinct of the 18th ward and
thereby allowing the substitution of the forg-
ed ballots found in the envelope when opened
by the federal grand jury.
Gleason relates that the envelope was placed
with the others in large box in the county
clerks vault and nailed up. The ballots were
placed in the vault where their location was
known to only two persons, Biehl and Glea-
son. The latter says the evidence shows be-
yond doubt that the change in the ballot
was made in the vault of the county clerks
office, and it would have been exceedingly
difficult for any one not knowing their exact
location, to find them. The ballots having
been taken from the vault on the afternoon of
Nov. 2lst, either Biehl or himself is guilty.
As he declares he did not commit the crime,
it could have been committed by no other per-
son than Biehl, and Gleason therefore charges
him with its perpetration. Two persons are
now directly charged with the crime, Joseph
c. Maxim, secretary of the Cook county demo-
cratic central committee, who ordered bogus
tickets printed and Blehl, who, as Gleason
says, abStracted the envelope containing the
original ballots. to allow the substitution of
bogus ones.
Henry Biehl also makes public statement
in which he traverses the charges made by
Gleason. He says: The crime of removing
the envelope from the vault in the county
clerks Office was undoubtedly committed by
Gleason or himself. As he knows he is not
the guilty party, he believes Gleason to be,
and is strengthened in the view by the con-
Trajectory statements made by him before the
Grand Jury.
The federal grand jury this evening handed
up indictments against Jos. Mackin, secre-
tary of the county democratic central COM
mittee, Arthur Gleason and Henry Beihl.
clerks in the county clerks Office, and DIR. S.
Strausser, S. P. Shields and Peter Hansburg,
judges, and Edward Kelley and W. J. Sulli-
van, clerks of election in the second precinct
of the 18th ward. Bench warrants were at
once issued for the arrest of the indicted
persons. Mackin came into court
and soon afterward Beihl and Gleason,
and were arrested. All gave bail to the sum
Of $40, 900 each.

INDIGNANT MANAGERS.
The New Orleans Exposition Determined
Not to be Stepped On.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. IL.
AT meeting of the exposition association
yesterday the following resolution was adopt
ed
Whereas. it has come to the knowledge that
Representative Moulton, of Illinois, publicly
stated in Congress Monday, that the expos-
sition was failure, that not one-tenth of the
space is taken by exhibitors, and that the
money had been misused by the management,
and did offer resolution to Congress that
would seriously affect the exposition, and
which contained statements not correct.
therefore
Resolved. BY this association of exhib-
itors, that we solemnly protest against such
action, and request our representatives to
vote against any efforts that may be made to
injure this exposition, because its progress
has been as rapid as the magnitude of the
work would admit, all space for exhibitors
having been taken, with some hundred oppli
cations yet to be provided for, and while
there are minor matters of difference, this
exposition is and will be the grandest success
and it is the intention of this association to
aid as far as possible the management to put
it into running order at the time specified.

A DEEPENING MYSTERY.
Further Particulars Concerning the
Grave Robbery at Egremont-The
Woman Reported to be Alive and
Married to Young Physician.
SPRINGFIFLD. Mass.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. IL.
A reporter of the Republican has visited
Egremont and CLEANED new particulars of the
grave robbing mystery. The case is further
than ever from solution, and the story grows
more sensational and improbable. Miss
Newman was taken to the Bellevue Hospital,
n. Y. where she remained awhile, and was
subsequently taken to the residence of an
uncle of one of the students in Schoharie
county, n. Y, where she regained her rea-
son. About two years ago, when II. Worth
Wright died in Connecticut, she read about
it and said she knew Wright, and from that
time on her memory came back and she was
fully restored to health. and subsequently
married young physician, nephew of the
man in whose care she had been since leaving
the hospital. 1t is further added that the
couple are now living in New York State,
and are proposing to come on and visit Miss
Newman's friends in Berkshire county. The
reporter saw = cousin of Miss Newman, who
said ne wanted the grave opened at once. He
said two-thirds of the people in North Eyre
mont believed that the story was substantially
true, and added that he knew of his own per-
sonal knowledge that four men drove out Of
the cemetary the night after Miss Newman
was buried. Mrs. Chapel, sister of Estelle,
and Mrs. Newman, their mother, discredit
the story. The sick woman was made insane
by religious revival, and her mania took
the form of the conviction that it was her
duty not to eat, and she died from starvation
together with the spinal complaint Her
flesh was so wasted away that it was thought
impossible that she could have been brought
back to life in the strange way reported. It
is also stated that the brother Of the late Dr.
Wright denies that his brother ever confessed
to him of taking the body to Albany.

THE PLENARY COUNCIL.
PASTORAL Letter Adopted by the Coun-
Gil.
BALTIMORE. Dec. IL.

BALTIMORE, Dec IL.
The Catholic Mirror of Dec. ID will con-
tain the PASTORAL letter adopted by the late
plenary council, addressed to the clergy of
the church. The letter alludes to the
introduction of skepticism into the educa-
tional institutions, the public press and even
the pulpit, and declares that the outcome
must be heartiest materialism. The infalla-
bility of the Pope is reasserted. The perse-
cutors of the Catholics in different countries
are deplored. The assertion that Catholics
need to lay aside any devotedness to the
church to be true Americans is repudiated a.
being wholly illegal. The Importance of
suitable education for priesthood is urged
and the annual contribution to the seminary
fund is declared to be one Of the most impor-
tant duties of the Catholics. The people look
upon the priest as their best friend. 1t is
urged that the debts incurred for the purpose
of church building be liquidated as soon as
possible. Scarcely, if at all, secondary to
the church, desire for the education of the
Clergy is here solicited. In the great coming
combat between truth and error, between
faith and anocticism, an important part Of
the fray must be born by the clergy, and
woe to them if they are not well prepared
True civilization requires that not only ply
sical intellectual, but also moral and relig-
ious we'll being Of the people should be pro-
moted, and at least with equal care.

Notes.

In the executive session of the Senate to-
day a resolution was offered by Senator Con-
ger to remove the injunction of secrecy from
the text of the Nicaragua tr eaty. This was
discussed at considerable length and finally
referred to the committee on foreign affairs
and relations.
President Arthur has signified that he will
comply with the request made yesterday to
start the machinery of the exposition on the
10th by electricity. The wire is to be run
directly from the executive mansion to the
exposition building and so arranged that
when the President opens the circuit in
Washington the motive power will be applied
to the machinery in New Orleans.
The supreme court delegates from the two
Houses of Congress, cabinet officers and d.
plomatic representatives of foreign countries
will be in attendance at the executive man
sion to witness the unique opening of the
New Orleans exposition.
The secretary OF State today certified to
the secretary of the treasury q list of the
