SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
HEALTH.-0n Saturday evening there was
special meeting of the Board of Health.
Present, Drs. Cluness. Snyder Lame and
Bruno. The meeting was held at the re-
quest of II. G. Hays, who requested.
through his attorney, Colonel Starr, the
Board 70 approve his plans for the plumb
ing OF couple of buildings The plans
had been submitted to the Plumbing In
Spector and Health Officer, and not an
proved by them, as the plans did not con-
form to the rules and regulations of the
Board OF Health. Mr. Hays appealed
from Their decision, and desired the Board
OF Health to change their rules to conform
to his plans, and then approve them. This
the Board refused to do. The point which
the Board refused 10 concede to Mr. HAYS
was the privilege Of using galvanized iron
Tor soll or waste pipes. \ number of
plumbers We're present, who testified to
the uniiJHess of galvanized iron for such
purposes. Trustees Jones and Nielsen were
present, and also gave their opinions on
the subject. City Engineer Bassett pre-
scented several eminent authorities on the
subject, all of which disapproye OF the use
OF galvanized iron for drainage purposes.
Some pieces OF galvanized iron were shown
winch were completely rotten and eaten
full OF holes by the action Of sewage mat
ter, one Of which was taken out last week
alter being in use but two and half years
BAsEBALL.-The first game of the season
was played at the Recreation Park yester-
day between the Holbrook, Merrill & Stet-
son nine and the printers nine" The
stakes were bat and ball, but the game
was played with much spirit and was very
amusing 20 the spectators. Charley SERVER,
of the stove store nine, pitched during
the last Two innings, and went at it with
such spirit that his suspenders soon became
wreck, and the spectators bursted their
vests open with cachinatory enjoyment
Anything he did not know about the game
the crowd told him before he concluded.
Billy Mclaughlin, who played short stop
for the II. NJ. & 5. boys, never played bet
ter in his life, and it is doubtful if the posi-
lion was ever SO well filled before in this
city. Billy leaves in few weeks to fill a
r-ine-months engagement with the Sayan-
: MS. playing behind the bat, and it is
,alked about that the boys viii give him a
benefit before he takes his departure, if the
weather holds favorable. The II. NJ & S.
nine won easily yesterday, with a score OF
u to :, and added credibility to their claim
to be the strongest team that any one estab-
hshment in the city can turn out.
ATTEMPTED yesterday morn
ing the glass in the kitchen door of Health
Officer Walter B. Ferral's residence, No
1909 I street, was found broken, and d
rock, about as large as a mans fist, was
living upon the floor among the pieces OF
glass. The glass had been covered with
dough, and the presumption is that burg
lar, prospecting the premises during the
previous night, took some flour from the
store-room adjoining the kitchen, made q
paste OF it, and applied it to the glass tC
keep the pieces from falling when he
struck it with the stone; but somehow the
stone slipped from his hand and fell inside
with the glass, making so much noise that
the fellow feared he had aroused the fam.
lily and beat a hasty retreat. The glass was
broken near the lock of the door, so thai
the key could be reached. The unwelcomt
visitor also tried the back door of Hon. W
w. M0reland's residence, in the samt
building, as the screen door was found
open in the morning. He had also emptieC
the water out of barrel in an adjoining
yard, probably 10 use the barrel to aid hin
IN reaching window.
