Recompense for the Families of the
Ford Theatre Victims.
WASHING TON. June Is, 1S93.-Mr. Hol-
man, chair man of The House Committee
on Appro priations, said this morning
that he believed Congr ess had in the past
and would in the future deal literally in
the matter of providing safe public build
ings.and in fact such legislation as would
look to the preservation Of human life.
Congress was practically a unit in its
willingness to appropriate money for a
new and suitable Government Printing
office. The trouble had been in sec urin a
site. Tha matter had not. he said, been
brought to the atte ntion of the House by
resolution or otherw Use since the Fifty
first Congress.
mo government In the world" said
Mr.. Holman. ''holds life in such regard
as ours. This has been instenced many
times. Congressmen are no building ex-
perts, and If an official report had been
made, Congress would have had some
thing to go on.
Returning TO Ford's Theatre disaster.
Mr.. Holman said he supposed the matter
would would come before Congress in the
shape of: bills for the relief of n victims,
and he was sure that Congress would do
what was right.

COUNTY MUST DEFEND.
lis Property q Nuisance. and
a Citizen Gets a Warrant.

Numerous complains have been lodged
with Police Captain McKaig BY residents
along the New County Road. in the
vicinity of Lexington and C~lendenninR
venues, concerning an almost unbear-
able nuisance. This is in the shape of
privy vaults left uncovered by the re-
moval OF outpuilding along with con-
demned dwellings recently sold by the
county at auction.
There are four of these on the one
block mentioned above. and rs the pro.
cess of moving other buildings along
this particular unse wered section OF the
new road continues, the nuisance Is
likely to continue for some tlme-and
this at the hottest and most dangerous
held responsible for its existence and
made to abat it.
At present there Is q WA between the
residents, the contractors OF that section
of the County road, the owners OF the re-
Gently purchased buildings, the contrac-
tors who are removing the buildings and
the City Health Board.
On the formal complaint OF MRS.
Theodore Smith, of Lexington avenue. a
salesman for Colgate g. Co.. Police JUS
tice klmmerly this morning issued a sum-
mons for the appearance OF Director
Bruggeman, or the County Boarq OF
Freehoiders. to appear before him TO-
morrow morning and answer for the
county to the charge of violating
u county health ordinance. Ths
Justice holds that Inasulucn
as the nuisance exists on prop erIy owned
by the County the County must be he'll!
responsible for It's maintenance. Con-
tractors Refill & Edwards say they are
not compelled by the contract to AGATE
~nuisances after the buildings
are removed. In some instances
they have attempted to fill in
the vaults with dirt, but were unsuccess-
full because of the fuid-like condition OF
the refuse, which would rise to the sur
face. Justice Kimmerly thinks that
Chief Engineer Harrison should have
made some provision for this matter in
preparing the specifications for the con-
tract.
Among the unsewered streets in the
section alluded to ia the Immediate vici-
nifty are:-LexiToton, Vaudeville, Ok
ford, Clendennlng. Harrison avenue

that arises from the uncovered vaults.

MRS, DAN. LAMONT OVERCOME.
The sscretary's Wife Sick at the Fair
and Taken tn AosnitaI

The Sscretary's Wife Sick at the Fair
and Taken to Hospital.
CHICAGO, June IA. 1S93.-About 5o'clock
yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mrs. Daniel La.
mont, wife of the Secretary of War, was
overcome by heat and exhaustion while in
Midway Plaisance, and without warning
fell in a faint. Mrs. Lamont and party
were seated in a corner of Old Vienna.
They had been at the Jackson Park all
day and had made an extended tour of the
grounds.
The guard stationed at the entrance was
at once notified and the ambulance hastily
summoned. On its arrival Mrs. lamont,
who was still unconscious, wa carefully
lifted into it, and, accompanied by her
friends, was taken to the Columbian
Emergency Hospital. Here restoratives
were applied, and she speedily recovered
consciousness.
After an hour of rest she was sent to the
Lexington Hotel In a carriage, The phys
icians do not anticipate any serious result
from Mrs. Lamont's sudden illness. They
ascribe the fainting spell entirely to over
exertion and heat.
