STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.



President A. E. Burr of the state
board of health and Secretary Lindsey
called special meeting of the board
yesterday afternoon in consequence of a
telegram from the Illinois board, asking
them to request the president of the
United States to stop all immigration
from countries where cholera is now
prevalent. The Illinois board had al
ready done 50.
Beside the president and the secretary
Doctors Grove II. Wilson and Ralph S.
Goodwin were present at the meeting.
They did not think that the president
had the power, himself, to stop immi-
grafton, as they could find no record
giving him the authority. But they
sent word to the Illinois board, saying
that they would join that board in sup,
pressing the disease if it appeared here.
The board also discussed the powers
they would have If cholera appeared in
Connecticut. According to the statutes
if the board is unanimous it can draw
on the treasury for any amount to sup
press Asiatic cholera. provided its actor
has the approval of the governor. The
members were not certain what they
would do in such case, and discussed
the matter to some extent, but arrived
at no conclusion. 1t is probable another
meeting will be called soon.

PREPARE TO DISAPPEAR.
Lieutenant TOtten Making Arrangement
to Leave the World,


to Leave the World.
Lieutenant Totten, formerly of Yale,
who created a sensation a short time
ago by predicting the end of the world
has decided his property to his wife.
When asked to explain his reason for
recording the document, Lieutenant
TOttcn said:
The time will come when you will
hear of some person, it may be in your
own family, who has gone and no trace
can be found of them. You will not
know what has become of them. You
will wonder, and the first you know
some ether person in some other family
will also be missing. Disappearance
will become common, and no one can
explain them. You will see crowds of
people tlocking about the churches and
| asking themselves what is happening.
but they cannot explain the mystery.
see it all, but people will not believe the
prediction, and they won't until 1t is
brought home to them in the way l
have described. 1t is just as sure to
come as anything in this world and is
mostly the fultillment of the prophecies
that are laid down in the bible.

HOTEL FIRE IN STANFORD.
Sixty Guests Narrowly Escape With
Their Lives.

Sixty Guests Narrowly Escape With
Their Lives.
STANFORD, Aug 3O.-A confagration
that promised to result in large loss of
life and destruction of property, broke
out here at an early hour this morning.
About o'clock Officer Theodore Della
croiX discovered fire in the rear of the
Stamford house, the largest hotel here.
After ringing an alarm he rushed into
the house and reused the inmates.
There were over sixty guests in the
house and it was with great difficulty
that they got out of the building in
safety. The Railways were filled with
suffocating smoke and the guests be-
came panic stricken. Fortunately,
however, all escaped, the most serious
injuries being bad bruises.
The rooms in which the servant girls
live are right over the wing in which
the fire started and 1t was with great
difficulty that they were taken out
alive. They were rescued from the
windows by means of ladders.
The flames were brought under
control after n fierce fight and
the main part of the building saved,
although this also would have been de-
stroyed but for brick wall between the
two parts. The building is a wooden
one and has been on fire several times
before. This, however is the most serious
fire. There is no clue as to the origin of
the flames. The loss will be over
100000 and is covered by insurance.

ADJUSTMENTS.


Tho largest audience of the season
greeted Aaron Ii. Woodruff iii his new
play "Uncle Hiram" at the opera house
last evening. The play was we'll staged
and the supporting company was good.
"Lord Rooney"
Pat Ro0ncy's merry farce company in
Mr. Carroll's laughing festival, Lord
Rooney, is one of the most successful
comedy attractions on the road. The
dialogue Is sad to POSSESS more literary
merit than Is usually found in farce
Jmedie5. 1t is sparklingly witty and
without plot or play, would of itself be
exceedingly enjoyable. The story of
the SIX lit though, is interesting and well
told. The incidents follow each other
with a rush, and there is go" to the
piece that is irresistible. The vivacity
of the play is really catching. 1t will be
presented at the opera hOu-e this even
ing.
THE Danger Signal"
"The Danger Signal will be presented
at the opera house on Friday evening.
The New York Advertiser says of the
play: Among the realistic features of
1.-The Danger Signal is thrilling rail
road scene, introducing a genuine loco
motive. Miss Rosabel Morrison made a
hit as Rose Martin, the wild flower of
Laramie Bend, and her support was
more tnan satisfactory.
Count Casper"
Charles 7. Ellis, who is we'll known to
theatre goers, will appear in his new
play, Count Casper" at the opera
house on Monday evening.

and the Journey to indianapolis.

WASHINGTON, Oot 5,--The funeral ser
vices in Washington over Mrs. Harrison'1
remains will not be held Wednesday morn
ing as at first intended, but will take place
Thursday morning. 1t is the especial wish
of the family that the services be as private
as possible and the funeral will not be a
public one. Invitations will be strictly linn
tied in number. AS far as the official posi-
ton OF the president will possibly admit,
the services will bo the same as those custo-
mary in case OF a member of private fam
lily. The funeral services will be conducted
according to the Presbytorisn form.
After tho services here, tho funeral party
will leave Washington, Thuraday noon, or
soon thereafter, for Indianapolis, where
services OF more public character will be
held The funeral train will probably
reach Indianapolis early Friday morning.
Only the kinsmen Of the President and his
late wife, probably members Of the Cabinet
aud their families and very few intimate
friends, will be hidden to the funeral SER
vices here.
