IEPER IN CHESTER.
The Horrible Disease Develops in "a
Swedish Resident


CHESTER, Oct 30.-This CITY is excited
over the discovery At genuine case Of
leprusy Last week DR. Frank J. Exams had
"A call from one John Anderson. swcde.
who has lived in the city for the past three
years, aud net being able "a diagnose the
case, sent him to Philadelphia tur treat
Hospital on Friday last and Provost pr.
William Pepper. Dr hudson Doland and
pr. lluhrine, q well-known specialist of
skin diseases, nude an examination and
came to the conclusion that Il was n rasr
Of interstitial lcprosN which is one Of the
mildest forms Of the disease,
They then sent Anderson back to CheS-
ter and wrote q letter 10 the board Of
health stating that they had no accommo-
dations in Philadelphia for leper. The
Chester physicians made an attempt to get
him of their hands and went 10 PlIiladel-
phia yesterday with that end in view.
They, however were not successful as the
Philadelphians positively refused to have
anything to Do with him II was then de-
cided to send Anderson to the county
almshouse AT Lima where he was taken
last night. He Is now confined in one of
the buildings, where he will be kept iso-
lated from the rest of the world
Anderson, before being taken to Lima,
expressed his willingness to be put away,
as he fully realized the nature fthe disease
He is about AZ years old. and came to this
country about nine years ago, and was a
sailor on an American cOasting vessel for
about six years, and it is very probable
that he contraced the disease during that
period

PARIS, Oct. 3l.-M. Fouroux. mayor Of
Toulon, who is under arrest on the charge
Of conspiracy to procure an operation
upon Nine Jonquieres, to-day made an at
tempt TO secure his release on bail, but hii

Of Nine. Laure the midwife, who is also
under arrest on the charge Of having per
manned in carriage outside the
house while the illegal deed waa
6fsiRg s done II appears ~ that the arrest
implicated in the case was made without
the government being apprised that such
step was contemplated, The members Of
the ministry are much incensed because
they were not informed that the arrests
were to be made and blame the procurer
for proceeding in the matter without con-
sulting them. Several minor officials who
were connected with the prosecution of the
case have been dismissed and some others
fearing that they would lose their positions

The Report of the Commit
tee on Finance.
Data to be Collected for the
Census Returns.
Permits for New Buildings Issued
During the Week.
Mayor Hazard Vetoes the Irrigation Water
Rate Ordinance-The Prices Are
Not High Enough.

The finance committee of the Council
will make the following report on Mon
day:
In the matter of the message from the
Mayor, advising an appropriation OF $50,
to be used in collecting data for the
Census Bureau, we believe that such a
sum can be proiitably expended for the
benefit OF the city, and recommend that
an appropriation of $50 be made for the
purpose indicated, to be expended under
the direction OF the Mayor.
We have examined the report of the
City Auditor for the week ending April
5th, and recommend it be filed.
In the matter of the petition from
Theodore Ziegler, asking the privilege Of
establishing newsstand in the vesti-
bule of the city hall, we recommend
that the matter be referred to the custo-
dian of the city hall, with instructions
to grant the request upon such terms as
he may deem best for the city's interests,
if upon examination he is satisfied of
the propriety of the proposition.
We recommend that the reports of the
Police Judges, Austin and Lockwood, as
to business in their Office during March,
be filed.
In the matter of the petition from z.
Nittinger ct al, recommend that the
petition be denied, as we are unable to
find any good and sufficient reason why
people engaged in this business should
not pay license as well as any other.
In the matter OF the petition of H. L.
Bissell, we find upon examination that
the statements in petition are true, and
that lot of the Beaudry tract was
doubly assessed for the year 18SS-S9; we
therefore recommend that the clerk be
instructed to mark Cancelled and re-
deemed of record tax certificate No. 475,
tax sales of that wear.

THE RAILWAYS.
Rate Changes-An Important Utter
ance. of President Yerington.

The report received by Associated
Press dispatches, and published in the
HERALD of Yesterday that the Burling-
ton road had cut its second-class rate
from San Francisco to Chicago to $35
was not credited by local railway Off
cials. No notice of the reduction was
sent to the Burlington Office in this city,
and Mr.. Crawley, of the Southern Pa
cific, said that he knew nothing of any
such change. Various scalpers in San
Francisco have been selling tickets at
the $35 rates, but no official notice of a
cut to that figure has been sent out. The
original rate from Coast points to Chi
cago, second-class, was $47.50 The first
cut brought this down to $40. The rate
from Kansas City to Chicago in the dis
trict where the war prevails was $l2.50,
and the cut reduced it to $5. If the rate
of $35 is established, it means that
through passengers are carried from
Kansas City to Chicago free OF
charge. OF course this is the
limit of the reduction if the
war is to be confined to that
locality. As the Iowa roads which
started the war are not transcontinental
lines there is no reason to believe that
the through fare will be reduced below
$35, if it does reach that figure.
A brakeman named Thomas Birming
ham, in the employ of the Southern
Pacific, met with a slight accident at
Whittier yesterday afternoon. He was
coupling cars, and he slipped and fell
under the train. Two trucks passed
over his feet at the heels, crushing or
dislocating some OF the small bones. He
was brought to the hospital in this city.
H. M. Yerington, the president of the
Carson City and Colorado railway, is the
owner of considerable extent of timber
land in the Sierra Nevadas. On his re-
turn home recently after trip East and
to Southern California he put up the
price of the timber which is sawed at
his mills in the mountains. This action
created good deal of surprise and COM
ment among the people of that vicinity,
and an appeal was made to
Mr.. Yerington as to the reason.
His answer is peculiarly significant
when it is remembered that he had just
been in conference with Charles Francis
Adams, the president of the Union Pa
cifc, and other Eastern railway men.
He said: 81 am not in any hurry to sell
my lumber. Within two years the
Union Pacific will be in Los Angeles,
and connection will be established with
my road. A new market will thus be
opened, and l can obtain better prices"
The information of Mr.. Yerington's
utterance in this matter was obtained
from E. J. Baldwin.
The special car containing Director
Magoun, Vice-President Reinhart, OF the
Santa Fe, General Manager Wade, and
Thomas Barring, the London banker,
passed through the city yesterday, and
went out to Santa Anita without making
any stop. A conference was held with
f. J. Baldwin with regard to the build
ing of depot at that point. The party
will return to the city tomorrow.
