Bad Sanitary Condition.

GALVESTON, Tex, March Cdr Charles
L. Gwynn to-day rendered his resignation as
a member of the Galveston board of health,
saying: "The sanitary condition is deplor-
able, and the board of health, under the re-
vised ordinances, is only an advisory body
and is utterly powerless to help it, although
looked to by the people for protection" He
states further, "should by any chance quar-
antine be failure the germs of the yellow
fever will find rich pabulum to feed upon
and become fearfully fatal and epidemic"
Mayor Fulton, in accepting his resignation
remarks, he does not share in DR.. Gwynn's
lugubrious views, and asserts, that the city
council, during the last year, has granted
everything asked for by the board of health,
and says, at all events, more money was
spent last year in putting the city in a good
sanitary condition than ever spent in any
previous year, and expressed his belief that
the city will continue as exceptionally healthy

CURRENT CONTENT.

IT is to the credit of President Arthur that, as
one of the executors of the estate of the late
Hugh Hastings, he not only did nothing to pre-
vent the sale of the Commercial Ad0ertiSer, but
in fact he encouraged it, when he understood
that Mrs. Hastings desired to convert the proper
ty. 1t turned out that the purchasers who would
pay the most for the property were men not in
clned to grant any political favors to Mr. Arthur,
as they belong to the wing or faction of the Re-
publican party hostile to the faction with which
Arthur is identified. While he could, of course,
have prevented the sale of the establishment, and
so retained journal that would favor him, he said
he was in favor of the best disposition of the
property, entirely regardless of his personal in
terests, and with his appreciation the sale was
made.

Banker Roots Arrest.

VALLEY CITY, D. T., March 22.-Itappears
that Banker Root was arrested for grand lar
ceny instead of embezzlement. The warrant
was sworn out by Attorney Pollock of Fargo.
The circumstances are said to have been as
follows: Captain Northrop,E client of Pol
locks, gave him chattel mortgage and then
bill of sale of a quantity of wheat at Kib-
by, in the western part of Cass county. Two
young men whom Northrop owed went to
Root for advice, and are said to have been
told to take the wheat and sell it. This they
did, and Pollock arrested him instead of the
young men. The hearing of the case has
been adjourned till Wednesday.

THE outcry against the fast mail in this To-
cality is absolutely universal. st. Paul has
very intimate business relations with Chi
cago, more so than with New York. Hereto
fore the Chicago mail left at 9 p. M, arriving
here at 2:25 p. M, and was delivered at p.
m. Now, in order to use the hum
bug fast mail, the p. m. train
comes without a mail and the Chicago letter
mail of the previous night is held until a.
m. in that city in order to be 'fast." 1t now
reaches st. Paul an hour later than before
and is not available the day it is received.
The loss of three hours in Chicago by the "fast
mail'' in waiting for the Chicago papers to go
to press is positively ruinous to the entire
project, and the business public will greatly
prefer to see the ''fast mail'' withdrawn if
it cannot be remedied.

Sir Chas. Upper moved a resolution respect
ing the arrangement with British Columbia
for the construction of the Naraimo and
Esquimalt railway. Homer, member for

because he said the government of the
Domin ion and British Columbia were giving
away $40, 900 worth of land for sixty
miles of railway. He moved an amendment
that the resolution should not be adopted,
but the whole subject be referred to a select
committee for inquiry. The amendment
was lost, and the resolution adopted, and
bill founded thereon introduced.
