NATIONAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
A Letter From the Secretary Which
Has a Gratifying Ring.

A Letter From the Secretary Which
Has a Gratifying Ring.
II is believed by many that the days Of
necessity Tor quarantine In the United
States are numbered. The new life given
the popular clamor for the rc-establish-
ment Of the national board Of health, or
the creation Of national bureau OF health,
will doubtless bring the subject before
Congress in positive way before next,
summer. The rayages OF epidemics are
incompatible with the idea and character
istics Of American civilization, the advance
guard for all the world. Its recurrence in
some parts OF the south this year has
aroused the public 20 demand for ma
tional interference and protection. The
following letter has n very gratifying ring.

A bold and at the same time cOwardly
outrage was committed on Eighteenth
street between FIRST and Second avenues
early last evening. l. was shortly after
dark that Miss Carrie Bleuer and her
cousin, Miss Title Hansgen, were coming
up the east side of Eighteenth street from
First avenue, having walked that far
with two ladies who had been spending
the evening with them. As they
reached the alley north of the block IN
which Miss :jleuer's father, Mr.. John

them, seized Mss Bleuer by the hand and

of the bullets inflicted with suicidal in
tent took effect. 1t is in his lett temple,
but the physician in charge of the hospi-

for the attempt at suicide, the fact that
Nelson was temporarily deranged from

WHATIT REALLY MEANT.
INSTRUMENTATION Of the Attitude Of n
Rock Island Engineer Toward the
Dynamiters.

Rock Island Engineer Toward the
Dynamiters.
Yesterdays dispatches concerning the
Investigations of the G., B. & Q. dyna-
miters in Chicago, stated that Hoge had
displayed a telegram from Fred Gould,
one of the c., R. / s. p brotherhood
members of the grievance committee,
dated at Davenport and which read:
Owing to certain events the men at
this point decide that We had better
adopt extreme measures
The dispatch created something OF a
sensation among the Rock Island en-
gineers, as Hoge's apparent msinter-
probation of the dispatch misrepresented
their views entirely. Mr. Gou d really
meant anything but what Hoge had made
it appear that he meant. The meaning
OF Gould's telegram was that the divi,
siOns of the brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers he represents as member
OF the grievance committee, were
in favor of extreme measures with the
dynamiters if it could be proven that
they, pretending to represent Brother
hood engineers, had resorted to de-
struction of property to carry their
point. This blowing up OF engines.
breaking rails for derailment of engines,
and the manning, is not outright killing
of innocent men, women and children, is
something the Rock Island engineers
will not tolerate. The engineers here
who belong to the brotherhood are in fl =
vor of extreme measures with such men
They are doing more to bring the broth
erhood into disrepute than anything that
has happened since the brotherhood
was organized. They are hurting the
brotherhood men. who are law abiding
men, Just rs old Danforth hurt the X OF
l.. and misrepresenIed their ideas by en-
dorsing and upholding the anarchists,
while at the same time pretending to be
member Of the X of L. The locomotive
engineers here, represented by Mr..
Gould, are down on the dynamiters it
such the arrested parties prove to be.
And so Mr. & was in favor of extreme
measures IN the investigation of the mat
ter. Mr.. Gould has been engineer on the
Davenport and Brooklyn aud BROOKLYN
and Stuart passenger divisions of the e.,
K. |. ~ p. more than twenty years, and
is considered one of the most reliable en-,
gineers in the employ Of the road
As given in the associated press dis

he meant the exactly opposite thing
