will be erected there if it is found neces-
sary.
DR.. r. NJ. Sands has been selected to at

road company will have a physician to
assist him and to attend the patients taken

the experienced sanitary police will &C.
company DR.. Sands through and assist him
in the inspection of passengers. The rail-
road company will notify the city officers
ten hours In advance of the approach of
immigrant trains, and it is probable that the
inspection officers will go out as far as

economic time in their work. The Balti-

immigrants through this city on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays. The first in

Gienwood or over the Junction road to the
Pittsburg and Western division, according

Superintendent Baker Called Down.
Chief Brown yesterday gave Superin-
tendent Baker, of the Health Bureau,
severe rating as a sequel to that admins
tered by the Mayor on Wednesday. Mr..
Baker was notified that he must be more
exacting in the requirements of his bureau
and devote his attention to abating, not de-
Tending nuisances The lesson evidently
had its effect. Last evening Superintendent
Baker entered suit against Henry Turner,
co!ored, for violating an ordinance by
dumping garbage on the Red Pond Dump
The case will be heard before Alderman
Richards and Rev. Knox, who was Mr.
Bakers accuser at Wednesdays conference,
will be one of the witnesses against the de-
tendant.
