DIpHTHERIA EPIDEMIC.

1t Has Got Beyond Doctors Control in
Moscow, Ohio-Many Deaths.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, August %, 16S9.-The
State Board of Health has information
from Moscow, CIermont county, q town
of 600 inhabitants, which wildly describes
a reign of terror. resulting from disease,
at that place. There exists an epidemic
of diphtheria in the most fatal form. The
disease broke out about two weeks ago
and spread so rapidly that when the State
Board of Health was first notified last
Friday there were twenty-six cases and
several deaths. Since that time there
have beer twenty more cases and numer-
Gus deaths. The town is in a state of
wild excitement. The citizens are build
ing sulphur bonfires in their yards and
sprinkling the public streets with lime,
hoping to thus kill the disease.
DIR. McKibben, the Moscow physician,
states that the disease has become uncon-
trollable and that medical assistance is
sorely needed at the plague ridden place.
He telegraphed DR.. Probst, president of
the Ohio State Board of Health, to pro-
cure and send an expert in the treatment
of the disease. The Board of Health at
Moscow seems to be at a loss as to what
to do, and taking all things into consider
alton. DIR. Probst concluded last night to
go to the place himself until the disease
is placed under control.

but the dog. Realizing the child's
peril, Bruce ran to him, and, catching
hold of his dress, tried to pull him
back. The youngster was deter,
mined to have his own way, and
vigorously resented the dogs inter
ferenceiby beating poor Bruce in the
face with a big stick he carried, until
the dog was forced by pain to relln-
quish its hold.
The faithful animal then jumped
into the water and swan slowly across
the stream, below the plank, evidently
with the intention of saving the child
should he happen to fall in.
When they were both safely across,
and Bruce had shaken the water from
his shaggy coat, he artfully induced
the little fellow to get on his back for
a ride, a treat he knew the youngster
much enjoyed, apd for which he was
already ready.
The moment the dog felt the childs
arms around its neck and the little feet
digging into his sides he trotted back
across the plank and homeward, never
stopping until his young charge was
safely beyond all temptation of repeat
ing his dangerous performance. 80

British Vessels viii Not Protect Cana
dian sealers in Behring's Sea.
CHICAGO, August %, 1SS9.-A Nclus
special from Ottawa, Ont, says:-"Im-
portant dispatches from the British
government arrived here Monday regard
ing the Behring Sea difficulty and Sir
John Macdonald, who has been spending
a holiday at the seaside, has hurriedly
started for Ottawa.
The Cabinet met yesterday to consider
the dispatches, which, it is learned, say
explicitly that the British government de-
clines to allow it's Pacific squadron to
afford protection to the Canadian sealers
found In the Behring Sea. The Dominion
Government has also been requested to
prepare a schedule of damages claimed by
the owners of the seized sealers.
1t is intimated in the advices received
that negotiations are now in progress be-
tween the United States and British gov
ernments to effect a settlement of the
difficulty by arbitration. A member of
the Cabinet said yesterday that he had
not the least doubt that in the end the
Behring Sea trouble would be settled to
the satisfaction of everyone interested,
and before very long.

N WAS AFTER HER.
A Sixteen-Year-Old Girl and Her Love
Caught in This City. r

A Sixteen-Year-Old Girl and Her Lover
Caught in This City. RI
A man rushed into Captain McKaig's
office in the Gregory street police station
last evening, and saying that he was De
teative Gregory, of New Brunswick, re-
quested the captain to aid him ia arrest
ing an clipping couple. The captain ac-
companied the detective to a house on
Montgomery street. near the police sta
ton, where he arrested Charles Boun,
aged twenty-one years, and Theresa
Burke, aged sixteen years.
From the detectives story it appears
that Boun works in a rubber fac
tory in New Brunswick and has boarded
with Mrs. Burke for the past two years.
During that time Boun became infatua~
ted with his boarding mistress pretty
daughter and his passion was recipro-
Gated. I.
Their courtship lasted about a year, and
then Boun proposed that they get mar
ried. Theresa was willing, but, although
she is a tall, well developed girl for her
age, with more than ordinary beauty, her
mother considered her too young TO
marry and d~ecisively put her loot down
upon the project.
The young people then resolved to
elope, and left New Brunswick yesterday
anu CdIuc w Ullo ClCy.
Mrs. Burke soon discovered their dis
appearance, and called in Detective Greg
DRY to find them, if possible, and bring
back her. erring daughter.
The detective learned at the depot that
the couple had come to this city, and as
there was a lady here who was intimate
with Mrs. Burke, it was presumed they
would go to that lady's house. The
detective wished the captain to accompany
him to the house.
The detective was right in his surmise.
Immediately upon arriving in this city
the couple went to the lady's house on
Montgomery street, and telling the friend
that they had just been married asked If
they could remain there over night.
The lady of the house knew that Charles
and Theresa were warm friends, and was
not surprised to hear that they were
married. Moreover, about a year ago b
young people, together with MRS. Burke,
spent a day at the lady's house, and the
latter's oIna wit soon discovered that
there was something more than friend
ship existing between the young people.
Accordingly she took them at their word,
congratulated them warmly, and after
entertaining them during the evening
assigned them to her spare bed
chamber.
She was almost dumbfounded when
shortly before midnight Captain McKaig
and Detective Gregory woke her up and
demanded the young people. The young
couple were hastily aroused and taken to
the Gregory street station. They evinced
no concern over their plight, and de-
clared that it was their intention to be
married this morning. The detective took
them to New Brunswicko on the 1890 train
his morning.

The Evil Eye.

Shortly after his election Plus TX.
who was then adored by the Romans
and perhaps the best loved man in
Italy, was driving through the streets
when he happened to glance upward
at an open window at which q nurse
was standing with a child. A few
minutes afterward the nurse let the
child drop and it was killed. No one
thought the Pope had wished this,
but the fancy that he had the evil eye
became universal and lasted till his
death.
In Carniola if you tell a mother
that her baby is strong and large for
it's age, O farmer that his crops are
looking we'll, or coachman that his
team is good, all three will spit at
your feet to avert the omen, and, if
you understand the custom, you will
do the same as an act of politeness.
A person who wandered through
upper Carniola and praised everything
he saw would soon come to be consid-
cred the most m~alevolent of men. In
Naples exactly the same feeling exists.
The terms of endearment which moth
ers of the lower class use to their
children, and the pet names they call
them are often so indecent that it
would be impossible to reproduce
them in English, and always SO con-
temptuous that that they would be
offensive in any other relation.

Those Queer Police Station PLANS.

-
Those Queer Police Station Plans.
The Board of Street and Water
Commissioners is not covering itself
with glory in relation to these new
station house plans. Mr.. La Baw, one
of the most ACCOMPLISHED architects in
the community, has drafted designs
which have been cordially approved
by the Police Board, the high
officials of the Police Depart
ment. and, in general, by all
competent persons to whom
they have been shown. Mr.. La Baw
did not volunteer these plans. He
was directed to prepare them by the
Police Board, and that action was con
firmed by the Board of Finance-in
fact, the latter body officially APP
proved the plans themselves.
At this stage the work comes under
the cognizance of the Street and Water
Board. Everyone naturally supposes
the process of inviting proposals
awarding the contract, and construct
ing the building will proceed in regular
order. There is certainly no good rea-
son why it should not. ss Fl.
But it will not, all the same. Why?
Well, that is what everyone wants to
know. The Street and Water Com
missioners do not pretend that Mr.. La
Baw's plans are unsuitable. On the
contrary they theoretically endorse
them by ordering that their general
and specific-features shall be adhered
to. Nevertheless, a new set of plans
must be prepared by the architect
selected by the Street and Water
Board. 1t does not matter that ex-
pense is increased; it is of no conse :
quence that there must be delay; it is
not regarded that the new plans may
be inferior. No, there is a little fat to
be fried out, and the Street and Water
reformers are determined it shall be
toasted or their w frying pan.
1t is a great pity this selfish view
should be taken, We do not see that
Mr.. Bill Kern g. Go. could have done
much worse. The Board Of Streets
and Water is not doing Mayor Cleve-
Iand much honor, and he ought to
bring it to a sense of duty with a sharp
turn.
