Bad Sanitary Condition.

GALVESTON, Tex, March 22.-Dr. 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
as for some years past.

Vanderbilt crowd made quite an effort to
sustain st. Paul and Northwestern, but left to
themselves they manifested decided dispo-
sition to weaken off. The same clique of
brokers were buying New York Central. 1t
was given out that D. P. Morgan had kindly
informed the street that the market was
purchase. This does not prove to be very
alluring bait to the lambs. Price and Whitley
were steady sellers of New York Central.
During the middle hours there was quite
move in Pullman which was occasioned by
seller sixty contracts falling due, and on ac-
count of favorable contracts recently made
in Canada. The deal originated in Chicago,
and was started two or three days ago.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Burning Mine.

PITrsBURG, March 22.-Wm. Duhring, a
prominent oil OPERATOR and one of the stock
holders of the Pocahontas coal mine, West
Virginia, in which 135 miners recently lost
their lives in an explosion, has hit upon a
novel plan to extinguish the fire which is
still raging. His idea is to have an engineer
locate five of the nine chambers, and then
drill wells, or holes, through the top of the
mountain, an estimated distance Of 500 feet.
Through the'openings thus made, 1t is pro-
posed to introduce streams of water until the
entire mine is flooded and the flames are
quenched. A gang Of rig builders left for
the mines yesterday, who will employ the oil
methods of drilling the wells. Within a
week the drills will be in operation, but it
will be fully two months ere the mine can
be flooded. Mr.. Duhring says the cause Of
the explosion is still mystery.
