Conference of the Hospital Trustees-Eie-
ments Of Success in the Movement-Or-
ganixation Of the Board.
Pursuant to the agreement of Friday
evening, the board Of hospital trustees met
at three O'Clock yesterday afternoon at Bow
man & Bowman's law Office, with the fol-
lowing members present: Ross Mitchell,
S. A. Bowman. q. S. Kelly and c. II.
Pierce. Two hours of good solid work
were put in discussing different properties
that have been suggesting and talking over
plans and details. A prominent physician,
who has had long experience in army hOspi-
tails was present and gave much valua-
BILE information concerning the neces-
sites Of the proposed hospital in regard to
location, ventilation, internal arrangement,
attendance, admissible and nOn-admissable
cases, &c. Plans for raising money were
also discussed, and it seems that the board
will have no great obstacles to overcome In
this, If the general mass Of manufacturers
and business men continue to exhibit the
same enthusiasm in the movement that has
been shown ever since the work bessn.
Never in the history of Springfield
has any public movement for a CON-
munity institution been brought in
to tangible shape so successfully
and in 80 short a time as has this movement
for public hospital. What was but few
weeks ago q vague hope in the minds of
few has now materialized into corporation
of almost one hundred men, whose COM
bined signatures represent almost three
quarters Of the wealth of Springfield. Much
of this success has been due to the untiring
energy and skillful management Of the
small body Of projectors; but most of it is
due to the public spirit and intelligence Of
the Champion City's representative citizens,
who realize worthy object as soon as it is
suggested, and allow nothing to stand in the
way Of its accomplishment
The project is now In the hands Of
board of trustees who have the ability and
the intention 70 give Springfield the best
possible hospital that the limited resources
at present available will permit In order
that their work may be permanently sue
cessful, they will move with due wisdom
and caution. When the plans suggested
yesterday materialize, Springfield will have
hospital that will realize the best hopes Of
the community at large. Before adjourn
ing the board formally organized by elect
ing S. A. Bowman president, and Russell NJ.
Seeds secretary. Mr.. Mitchell was ap-
pointed committee of one to nominate
treasurer The board then adjourned, sub
just to the call of any member thereof.

Ralph, residing at No. SO Clifton avenue.
was returning home. she saw two colored
men coming out of the house and standing
at the front gate inside of the yard. As

down the street and were soon lost in the
darkness. Mrs. Ralph Immediately sus-
pected that all was not as it should be. and
went into the house to see what was missing.
Upon thorough search she found that
very valuable gold watch belonging to her
husband, and lot of her own jewelry has
been taken. Word was Immediately sent
to her husband, who informed Chief Walk

or searching for the articles.
