Major Ernst announces that Col.
Henry NJ. Robert, appointed to ex-
anime and report the more suitable
point or points upon the Texas gull

harbor, will be in Galveston May 10th
and in Corpus Christi May 18th. He
will hold public session at these places
at which time he invites all those

the board to be present. Now let San

when Col. Roberts reaches Corpus
Christi May 18th that he is met by
such representation of the business
and capital of this city, and the south
west section of the state so deeply IN

some adequate idea of the Importance

sANITARILY SUGGESTED.

Surgeon General Hammond, |. ;. |
A., expresses a very strong opinion
concerning the possible prevalence !
of yellow fever. His idea, as reported |
to the press, is that that cities which |
escaped the scourge last year are very |
likely to have visitation Of it this |
wear. The LIGHTS lack Of acquaint-
ance with medical ethics and the sci
ence of sanitation renders it unable to
see the cOgency of this deduction, but
it can and does see the necessity of
very close adherence to all regulations
enforcing cleanliness and care on the
part of individuals and communities,
with strict adherence to such Quaran-
tine regulations as may be adopted.
The recent death from yellow fever of
Mrs. Charles Dormant, of Florida,
and the declaration of doctors that
there were reasonable fears of an eDI-
demic, should certainly teach caution
and the exercise of the greatest care
on the part of those who are entrusted
with the public health. san Antonio

free from disease this year as usual.
The great rainfall Of the past six
months, with the unusual number of
cloudy days during that period, point
to season Of unusual sickness this
summer. The sanitary condition of
this city is not such as it should he on
the eve of such a season as reason and
experience elsewhere combine to show
will be unusually unhealthy. The
pools Of dirty, stagnant water collected
on the principal streets, as for in
stance that between Commerce
street and Alamo plaZo, one
of the most frequented thoroughfares
in the whole city, do not Conduce to
health. These sink holes fill with
the drainage Of a whole block during
rainy weather. The sediment and
Offal settle to the bottom and the eN-
halatiOns under hot sun are most

Awful Explosion.

A frightful boiler explosion occur
red Tuesday afternoon, shortly before
S o'clock, at the factory of the Cali
fornia Sash and Door Company,
which is located on Wood street, near
the Sixteenth street station, in Cak-
land. The engine and boiler rooms
were wrecked and there was a heavy
loss of life and property.
Five people are known to have been
killed and two are missing. -Four men
seriously wounded lay in the Receiv-
ing Hospital in Oakland, and pro! =
ably half a dozen more of the injured
are at their homes.
No one knows how or why the ex-
plosion occurred. A moment before
tho foreman, E. A. Boell, passed by
the place, and when he looked in the
man whose first name is John and
another man were on top Of the
boiler plastering it and other work
men were close by. Boell passed on,
and moment later the disaster &C.
CURED. Engineer w. II. Ellard was
In an adjoining room. He was badly
shaken up, but otherwise not injured
He says that the steam was about 80
pounds pressure and that the safety
valve was set at IS pounds. The
boiler had stood test of $50 pounds,
and as there was plenty Of water in it
he could not account for the explo-
sion.-IS. +. Post.

County Official Paper.
Good Bye, Brother Tanner.

A Washington special of the 18th
instant says:
Tanner bid good bye to all the m n
in his Office last night and was not AT
his desk to-day. President Harrison
said to friend yesterday that Corpo-
raj Tanner would have to get out OF
the pension office. He said he was re-
luctant to part with him on account
OF the embarrassment it would place
him in, considering the Endorsement
given the Commissioner at the Mil
waukee Encampment. But" he ad-
ded, lit was altogether out Of the
question to keep him." The Presi-
dent said he repeatedly talked to
Commissioner Tanner and urged him
to give his tongue less exercise, but
that everywhere he went and upon
the slightest provocation he put this
foot into it. For ten days or more it
has simply been a question of how to
drop Tanner without offending the
soldiers.
A Washington special to the Post
says: "Tanner is out" He received
official notice that his signature no
longer would be recognized by Secre-
tley Noble, who is now in close con-
sultation with Senator Hiscock. The
latter is understood to be pushing
Major Peel of Syracuse for the Com
missionership. General Brown, Of
Ohio, is being urged for the place and
will probably get it.
