HOARD OF HEALTH.

A Woman ia Hired to Nurse a Family
 of Smallpox Patients Dy the Agent
 of the Health Board and Then she
 Board Refuses GO Fay the Bill.
 Yesterdays New Haven Union says: The board of health is again in hot water. This is nothing strange for the health board, as this particular branch of the municipal gov- ernment generally devotes about thirds of its time in explaining to the public why it didn4 do thus and so. It will be remembered by New Haven people that some time ago what threatened to be a smallpox epidemic broke out in New Haven. Medical Examiner Williston proceeded and took very severe measures to prevent the spread of the conta- gious disease, and in this he was eminently successful.
 In order to do this, Dr. Wil1iston required the services of professional nurse. Where to get one who would consent to attend g family afflicted with the loathsome disease
 was question. Many were called, but in every instance there was polite refusal to accept. Dr. Williston was in g terrible stew
 when he finally succeeded in inducing Miss Laura Mercy, petite young woman, to &C., cept the position She was to be uaid S25
 PdGASNA up her things and was taken to the home of
 MT. Davis on Kimberly avenue, where the disease was raging. There were five patients
 to attend and for three weeks she remained
 administering to their comfort. Mrs. Davis
 and her daughter died and Miss Mercy and
 and another lady who had previously had
 the disease placed the remains in the coffin, and in the dead of night the bodies were car- ried forth and buried.
 This was some months ago. Miss Mercy remained in the house during the quaran- tine and left at night when all good people were in bed. She had no place to go and had no money in her possession, the officers
 of the health board having adopted decided economical spirit. She wandered about the streets for time and finally met Dir. Bis sell, who had assisted in attending the pa- : tients and he gave her money enough to go to New York and she took the night boat.
 When she had rested she returned to the city to collect her bill from the city. The board by this time had grown positively parsimonious and allowed her but two weeks pay for her heroic work, when it was understood all along that she was to receive pay for the week during which she was coop ed up in quarantine. Her clothes were all in the house and had to remain there, as she could not take them without endangering the public. She put in a bill for her ruined garments, but the board refused to pay and laid her bill on the table.
 Miss Mercy is by no means an heiress, and
 she has suffered greatly from the action of the board. For a long time she was unable to do any nnrsing owing to the fact that she had assisted in attending smallpox patient. Miss Mercy was not in town to day and could
 not be seen by reporter who called to see her. The fact that the board has refused to reeompense her, however, has got to the ears of some of the city officials and they will take measures to see that the young woman is maid

TXPE-sETTING MACHINES.
Tke ExperinenE as the ORce of tn

Tke ExperimenE as the ORce of the ssEveninE Post.s'
 Practical printers are much interested in the experiment with type-setting machines now being made by the Evening Post asso- citation. Two machines of the Thorn patent have been in use in their office for some time and it is claimed by secretary Spalding that they have done about one-half of the compo- sition for the paper. He stated that at one
 time seventeen competitors were employed.
 At present eight are at work, but this nnm-
 Der will be still further reduced by two next week, another machine having been already setup. Mir. Spalding is of the opinion that
 the entire paper, advertisements excepted,
 will be set by the machines within year.
 This, he estimates, can be done by four ma
 chines
 Each machine requires three hands-a girl
 to operate, a boy to feed type to the eylin-
 ders, and another with some knowledge of
 the printers art to Justify, thatis to divide
 the type into lines of the proper length for Q
 column the matter coming from the Inachine
 in continuous row. The machine is oper- ated by keys, precisely in the same manner of typewriter. The feeding requires no special intelligence beyond the ability to distinguish one letter from another.
 In addition to these hands 8 regular fore- man and assistant are required to make up the forms, etc., as well as one or two skilled compositors to set up the advertisements. the machine not handling display type. Then there must be g boy to take proofs. Thus when the four machines are in operation, setting the entire paper, something like twenty employees win be required. Many of these are paid very small wages, and MT. Spalding is satisfied that a great saving ;s effected by the use of the machines. Bat the experiment has hardly been carried far enough yet to warrant definite conclusion. The first cost of the machines is of course an important fator in the problem It is un- derstood that the Post association has not bought the machines now in use, but that they are running on trial. In case the entire dependenee of paper was upon machines, the disabling or breakage of one would be a serious accident being equal to the loss of three compositions. It would therefore seem necessary to keep competent maehinist at hand, and also to have one or two spare ma a1fyaaz raafiv for flrsTzPas.k

Escape ana Flight of Otis RI1IIngs-A Lively Time in Court-ExcIted and Nrate Women.

Escape ana Flight of Otis RI1IIngs-A
 Lively Time in Court-ExcIted and
 Irate Women.
 TWISTED, August 3.-Considerable excite ment has been caused here owing to the es- cape and flight of Otis Billings, who is charg- ed with having committed criminal assault on 17-year-old Rosa Bsckley. The flight of Billings rivals in coolness the somewhat me morable escape of the New York crook, Wright, from the Superior court room in Hartford not long ago. The court room here was crowded yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Billings was testifying. Her husband, the end of the room, his baby in his lap. Depu ty Sheriff Slocum was called from the room, and when he returned the prisoner was gone, no one knew where. How he made his es- cape unobserVed is a mystery. The court room is situated on the second floor, and there is but one exit. The court was of course adjourned, and vigorous search in- stituted for the cool prisoner.
 The trial yesterday afternoon was more than ordinarily spicy. Mrs. Billings accused J. F. Simmons, who appeared for the State, with having taken improper liberties with her. Mir. Simmons in turn told the woman that she WAS not her alleged husbands wife. Then there was scene. Mrs. Billings tried to attack MT. Simmons, but, being held, she contented herself with brandishing her fist in his face, sticking out her tongue at him and calling him Ca liar" Then Rosais moth CT joined in, ably seconded by Mrs. Hart, 8 woman of cloudy reputation, and pandemon- ium reigned supreme. Order could not be preserved and such epithets as t'liar," "mis- tress" and "thief" echoed through the room. Colonel Horne, for the defense, finally quieted the women, and the trial pro ceeded, although frequent eruptions occurred. Billings was arrested in Winsted on Wed- nesday. He was uncle of the Beckley girl. He took her out to ride. Soon afterwards Rosa returned, her clothes torn, her skin bruised, and carrying other injuries. She told her parents that ttUncle Otis had com mitted an assault upon her" but they were incredulous, and when Billings returned nothing was said about the matter. But physician was summoned, who made afiida- wit that an assault had been committed, cons sequently the arrest.
 Rosa is delicate girl, and since infancy has been a victim to fits, by which her health has been much impaired.

Their business, in addition to that of groceries, was the curing of hams. In 1868 he bought the property where his present building is for $5o,Q00. Since then he has expended $31 ,000 upon it. He says he has no plans for the future, but has very fattering offers to begin business in Nebras- ka, which if he were forty years younger he would instantly accept. He will soon take short vacation
