BOARD OF HEALTH.
THEY HAVE A MEETING MON.
DAY NIGHT.
The SaEary OF the Inspector was
Increased After IL Running DE.
bate of Some Sharpness.

Applegate, Powell, McGear, Reeves
and Wells were present when the roll
OF the members of the Board of Health
was called last night. Mr.. Elwell came
came in soon after and also DIR. Thomp-
son.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
The Health Inspector made bis re-
port. In this report was embraced
the nulsances on a lane running from
Church to Walnut street. The lane is
full OF decaying vegetable matter and
other deleterious refuse. The Inspec-
tor was authorized to abate the nuis-
ance, in the usual manner.
The Inspector reported that COM
plaint had been made of bodies being
buried in one of the cemeteries at in
sufficient depth. A grave of an adult
body was measured yesterday and
found to be only three feet and six
inches in depth.
The Inspector will proceed to notify
the tenants and owners of premises
along the above lane in accordance
with the law, but in matters of the
insufficient depth of graves no action
was taken.
Who shall be the register of vital
statistics, was a question upon which
the Board could not see its way clear.
The ordinance which the Board was
trying to pass contained section pro-
viding that the Secretary of the Board
shall receive the vital statistics of the
city, of marriages, births and deaths.
The City Recorder is now the ac-
knowledged collector of vital statistics,
but the Board could not tell itself why,
and SO the taking up of the ordinances
on third reading was endeavored to be
dispensed with, for further investiga-
tion.
The Board would not allow this
however, and the third reading of the
ordinances was ordered
Mr.. Applegate, the Board OF Health
Inspector, made statement bearing
upon the ineff1ciency of the salary of
Inspector.
On motion of DIR. Thompson, sec
onded by. Mr.. Reeves, the motion
adopting the report, fixing the salary
OF the Inspector, was rescinded. The
motion to rescind was stoutly con-
tested, but was carried by vote of
4 yeas to 8 nays. DR.. Thompson then
moved that the salary of the Inspector
be fixed at $4,000 per annum, the yeas
being DR.. Thompson, Mr.. Reeves, Mr..
Elwell and Mr.. Appelgate; nays,
Messrs. McGear, Wells and Powell.
Mr.. Reeves then moved that the sal
ary of the Clerk be fixed at $500 in
case he gets the registry of vital sta
tistics, instead of $4,000. This motion
was seconded by Mr.. Wells, but the
motion was lost.
The ordinance, or sanitary code of
al sections, was then taken up on third
reading, and passed.
The ordinance is to take effect Oh
next Monday week, and the Commit
tee on Printing was directed to pub
lish it according to law; the committee
was also directed to have blanks for
complaint, &e, printed, and also to
print the code and other information
for public guidance in pamphlet form.
The Board then adjourned to meet
on Monday night, April 7th, at the
usual hour.

Sudden Death.

Oliver G. Cramer, of Barley Sheaf,
died rather UNEXPECTEDLY last Friday
afternoon, from the effects, it is sup
posed, of a frog" that developed upon
his hand some weeks ago. He was the
mail carrier between Pennington and
Barley Sheaf, and kept small store at
the latter place. He had for some
time been afflicted with heart disease,
also, and this may account for his
sudden death.

AN expose is promised shortly into the
methods adopted by the Chinese slave-deal-
ers. A confession is said to have been OBJ
tanned from two of the women who came to
San Francisco on the Oceanic short time
ago, and who are now in charge Of the Chi
nese Mission. It's also stated that the Gus
toms officials have reported the matter to
Judge Hoffman, who will hear the cases to-
day, when the confessions made by the two
women will be read in court.
The women referred to are portion Of the
ten recently examined in the Appraisers
Building by Special Attorney Schell. Upon
learning that they were to be placed in
houses Of ill,fame, the two women refused
to 60, and asked that they be allowed to re-
main in the Mission school.

A DOUBLE. DECKED CITY.

New York is soon to become what might
be termed double-decked city. That is,
there are serious CONCENTRATIONS being made
to bridge tie business streets, as they are
now SO crowded that people cannot do busi-
ness with any degree Of comfort. Loss OF
life is even caused by the crowded condition
of the streets. 1t has been proposed to over
come these difficulties and dangers by build
ing raised passageway for foot passengers
over the sidewalks from the ferry houses,
across West Street, and along the various
streets that lead to the ferry houses as far as
the elevated railroad stations, and even as
far as Broadway. The benefits of this
would be incalculable. Plans have been
prepared by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany for laying such thoroughfare through
Cortlandt Street to the Cortlandt Street ferry
Several Of the ferry lines which have found
that ten minute, and even seven and half
minute, boats are not able to handle the
enormous crowds that cross the river daily,
are having plans prepared for double-decked
ferry boats which would complement the
benefit of an elevated thoroughfare by en-
abling the passengers to pass directly from
the upper deck Of the boat to the footpalh
without being compelled to go to the street.

MARION HARLAND, the friend and helper
of woman, has taken up the work OF finish
ing the monument that was started to be
erected years ago over the grave OF Mary,
the mother of Washington. The unfinished
structure is now nearly in ruins. The pub
fishers of the Home Maker, of which Marion
Harland is editor offer to contribute IS cents
out Of every annual subscription Of two dol
lars to the magazine sent during the next six
months. This magazine has evidently struck
an advertising bonanza, and will gather
shekels plentifully from the offer it is max
ing, but we do not believe in using grave
stone as an advertising monument. The
proposition Of Marion TO complete the mon
ument is good one, and one which all will
endorse and lend assistance to, but it is
doubtful if many will consider it duty to
subscribe for the magazine when less than
half the subscription price goes towards the
monument fund, while they would gladly
donate the amount in full towards the fund
under other conditions.

SOME weeks ago the TINES published a
copy Of Senator Stewards silver bill. 1t
was taken from one of our exchanges, and
one section Of the bill read that 2o.8 grains
Of gold was to be the standard for that met
al and 4I2% grains of silver for the white
metal. In commenting on the bill the TIMES
asked for information as to why the gold
standard was to be reduced 5 grains. We
have seen no explanation Of the matter until
yesterday we read communication in the
Reno Gazette from Frank Mercer. In this
communication it is stated that the Senator 5
bill does not change the gold standard in the
least. The 2o.S was evidently typograph-
ical error that all the papers that printed the
bill overlooked.

libel by the California Slate Bank, which
claims that it has been damaged to The ex-
tent of $780, 900 by an article recently pub
Iished in the Bee. The Bee is facing the

are that the public belief is that the bank
takes an undue influence in politics and its
employees pay money over the counter to in
huence elections. II the bank officials have
not learned that little ditty about ''Do take

THE Gentles succeeded in winning the
election in Utah this week. This is as it
should be. When the government can be
run by free American people Utah will be
admitted to Stat ehood, and she will be one
Of the wealthiest and loveliest States in the
Union. The Gentle element is increasing in
the Territory, and it will be but few years,
we predict, before the polygamous Mormons
will lose control Of the government Of the
principal cities in Utah.

IT seems that some person in Alabama
has received the contract to carry the mail
between this place and Virginia City, Neva-
da. This is about as ridiculous way OF
doing business as one often hears OF. 1t is
the supposition that contracts Of all kinds
are let to the lowest bidders, provided they
furnish as good bonds as any other bidder
to we'll AMI faithfully perform the work.
In this case we cannot see how this has been
done. Mr.. Barton put in bid to carry the
mail over this route, as did some other per-
sons here. Mr.. Barton has carried the mail
on this route for years and it would seem
that he would figure as close as anybody to
get the contract. Yet it would appear that
Alexander, the man in Alabama, has under
bid all others as he has been awarded the
contract and now wants to sub-let it to Bar
ton. If MIR. Alexander's bid is lower than
Mr.. Barton's we do not see how he can make
any money out Of 1t unless he can sub-lei
the route 10 Barton or someone else for less
figure. If Mr.. Alexander has been awarded
the contract at greater figure than Others
proposed to do the work for it is all wrong.
There is evidently money in the proposition
in some shape for Alexander or he would
not be meddling with the contract, and the
only conclusion that can be derived is that
he receives division Of the spoiis from
those who issue the contracts. 1t would
serve these outsiders right if the parties in
Nevada who bid for the route would now re-
fuse to carry the mail except at an advanced
rate. The idioic officials who think that
Nevada people cannot tend to her own mail
routes should be taught lesson at the ex-
pense of such contractors as Mr.. Alexander.
1t is high time that outsiders should be stop
ped from cutting slice out of everything
tina. comes to this State.

Sanders and Power to Be

Montana.
Such Is the Decision Of the
Senate Committee on
Elections,
Democrats Will Prepare a
Minority Report Exposing
the Steal.
Uncle Sam VIII Not Extend
Aid to Unemployed Cali
fopnianS.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
has decided TO favor the seating OF the
Republican contestants from Montana
Messrs. Power and Saunders. The
Democratic members of the committee
will submit a minority statement IN
favor of the Democratic contestants
Messrs. Maginnis and Clarke. Inc
vote was taken on strict party lines.
The ground upon which the majority OF
the committee will take its stand as
basis for its recommendation is that the
Republican house of Montana was the
legal house, as its members held the
certificates of election from the elec-
tion officers and was recognized as
the legal house by the state sen
ate. The report of the committee
will not be made for several days, as II
will be long document. discussing Dotn
the law and the facts in the case. MI
2rav. it is expected, will prepare the
report of the minority. The presenta-
tion of the reports will be the signal for
an extended debate, and it may be sew
pral weeks before the senate will reach
q vote on the subject. Senator Iurple
did not agree with either the majority
or minority, but was of opinion tnat no
election of senators had been accom-
Dlished. and that the case should be re-
mitted to the state of Montana for ac-
tiOn. He may make an independent re-
DOrt to that effect.

FUNDS WE'LL INVESTED.
Window Converts sinking Funds

WASHINGTON, March S.-Acting un-
der an opinion of the attorney general
that the secretary of the treasurer has
discretionary power in the matter, Sec
retary Window has commenced the pur-
chase of Pacific railroad sinking funds

ceeds in first mortgage bonds of the
subsidized roads. Purchases for the
present will be confined to government
per cents, of which there is now avail
able about S4.500.000 The amount or
these already purchased is 800, 900, and
the proceeds are we'll invested in mort

SIDNEY DILLON is ELATED.
NEW YORK. March S.-A reporter
called upon Sidney Dillon and asked
him for particulars regarding Secretary
WindOm's proposition to substitute for
the United States per cent bonds.
amounting to S4,000,0 600, which now
form part of the sinking fund of the
Union Pacific railroad. an equal amount
of first mortgage bonus of that railroad
bearing per cent interest. Mr.. Dillon
remarked that he was not at liberty to
saw how the matter was standing be-
tween the government and the railroad,
but acknowledged that such an arrange
ment will be regarded favOrably by the
latter, the sale of its bOnlls being an adj
vantage, while the interest, although
coming out of the roads earnings.
would be applied towards the ex-
tinction of the roads liability to
the government. "Was there not de-
cision by previous attorney general
that such an operation was not legal?'
was asked. Yes" Mr.. Dillon replied,
"Mr. Cleveland's attorney general SO
decided, but since then the government
has been authorized to invest in Union
Pacific first mortgage bOnds,and think
it likely that Mr.. Windom's decision
that he has right to effect the substi-
tuition of our bonds for the govern
ment's is based on that fact. WHAT the
government ought to do, however" said
Mr.. Dillon IN conclusion, lis to take the
the bonds of our branch roads in eX-
change for its bonds. These bonds
have been declared to be Of benefit to
the main line, and the substitution OF
their securities for the governments
would be of greater advantage TO the
ROAD than even the proposed arrange
ment."

buSily engaged all yesterday in attend
ing to correspondence and hav-
ing interviews with the chief local
officials of the gigantic railroad OF

willingly laid aside his business and ac-
corded an Interview to representative
of this journal. The first and all-ab-
sOrbing subject touched on was the re-
ported removal OF the Northern Pacific
headqual ters to Chicago. Mr.. Oakes
was quite OutSp0ken on this.
You can say that there is absolutely
no truth in such a rumOr. The subject
"Will the traffic department be re-
moved?"
'No; not even the traffic depart

Mir Oakes, speaking in regard to the
relations existing between the Northern
Pacific and Wisconsin Central, said
there had been no consolidation of the
two roads: that the new lease had mere
ly more in detail than its predecessor.
The Wisconsin Central would maintain
It's independence. MIR. Oa1eS denied

Special to the Globe
TACOMA. Wash, March Sit is au-
thoritatively stated that the Great
Northern will have trains running over
it's own road to a seacoast terminal
within fifteen months. That terminal
proper will be located in North Seattle,
situated Immediately on the sound
coast, and now given communication by
rail with Seattle by the Seattle, Lake
Shore u Western railway. The Great
Northern is pushing its westward eX-
tension to Spokane Falls as fast as men
and means can do it. The road is now
constructed within siXty-fve miles of
Spokane. and its builders confidently
expect to have Great Northern trains
running into Spokane Falls by July. In
getting through the mountains the road
will use Snoqualmie pass and the sur
veyed line of the Lake Shore & West
ern's proposed extension east from Sno-
uualmie Falls. At the Falls the Great
Northern will effect a jOinture with the
Lake Shore Il Eastern, aud its trains
will traverse that road en- route to the
terminal in North Seattle. President
Hill proposes building feeders to every
available point on the sound where
either present or future business might
be derived. Between Seattle and this
city the road will parallel the Northern
Pacific.
