monies that he regretted that he would be

HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT,
The Low Death Rate Kept Up Last
Week.

The death rate continued on the same
low scale last week as for the several pre-
vious weeks. There was a decrease of five
In the total mortality. while the rate fell
from 2l.7 to POS. the annual being 226
There was material decline in the number
OF children under five years Of age who
died. AS by the last report these numbered
sixty-four. during the last week they
amounted to but forty-two. According to
the natural law governing these cases the
mortality among children will gradually de-
cline to the minimum throughout the win
ter months. When the statistics in regard
to these are fully made up it will undoubt-
eddy be seen that fatalities among the chill
dren were less during the last summer than
the average for number Of years back
Since last report there have been eight
new cases Of diphtheria. with two deaths.
and six new cases Of scarlet fever. with
no death therefrom. The casual increase
in the number Of fatal cases Of bilious
feverS, as shown by this report is not fol-
lowed up by subsequent reports. While
this may be called the sickly season Of the
year, and the time when malaral ailments
mostly prevail owing to the vast amount
of decaying vegetation to be found every
where in the suburbs and along the river
yet thus far the health Of the city has been
remarkably good. There are no epidemic
diseases prevalent and even those maladics
which depend upon season are in allegiance
When the annual death rate has been
brought down to POS the hygienic condi-
lions must be in very satisfactory state

Star, demurrer was filed in the case of
Madeline V. Pollard against Representative
W. p. c. Breckenridge for so, 900 damages
for breach Of promise Of marriage This

memorandum as to the points to be ar
gued is as follows: The points of law to
be argued the following:
First. The said declaration consists of
three separate counts. which improperly
allege three separate contracts Of marriage
and allege that said three contracts to
marry were subsisting at one and the same
time.
Second Not more than one contract to
marry can subsist at the same time be-
tween two persons.
Third. The third count of said declara-
ton Is bad because 1t alleges matters and
things which cannot in law he considered
substantive facts necessary to constitute
cause of action, thereby violating rule IS
of the common law rules of the court"
This Is signed by Phil Thompson and Col
Enoch Totten as counsel. Prior to filing
this paper. there had been a conference at
Col. Totten's office with Senator Lindsey
and Mr.. Breckinridge. and they concluded
that as they had placed the matter in the
hands of the lawyers, they should pursue
what course they deemed best
