CITY SANITARY RULES.
TYphus and Smallpox Con-
sidered by the Health
Board Yesterday.
MORE PEST HOUSE SPACE.
A Mysterious Building Stringent
Quarantine Rules-Dog
Tax Increased.

The City Health Board amended ita
bylaw sand discussed typhus fever ana the
smallpox, at its meeting at Police Head
quarters yesterday evening. Corporation
Counsel Edwards was present to advise
the Board in the revision of its rules.
Health Inspector Benjamin said he had
more dread of the typhus than of the
smallpox. The smallpox broke out in
August, and the total number of cases
to date is about fifty. of which six have
been fatal. The Inspector saw no occa-
sion for alarm about the smallpox. The
Hospital fitted out last fall for the use Of
expected cholera patients is still in the
Inspectors control and can oe used SIS a
typhus hospital. The location of this
building has never been disclosed. 1t is
in an isolated location within the city
limits The Board left a blank in the
regulation fixing the pay OF the five City
Physicians. The pay mas been S25 per
month. but the Board seemed TO think
this might not be sufficient for the fu-
ture.
NEW RULES.
Some of the changes in The regulations
are:-
For each offense in leaving dump carts and
filthy wagons in the streets fine of $20. The
| imposition of one fine Of $50 has heretofore
operated as a license fee to keep the wagons in
the streets, Permits must be obtained to dump
garbage in any lot in the city and the peoalty
| is $50. Dumping in sunken lots has been toier-
ated. No one will be allowed to maintain a
vault in a street which has sewer. The board
will make efforts to see that every street has
sewer.
esCorporation Counsel Edwards said he
had The draft OF bill for presentation to
| The Legislature to compel city authorities
to make sewer connections with such
streams as the Mill Creek.
TO ENFORCE DRAINAGE.
Mr. Edwards advised the Board that
it had the power to I'LL in Sunken lots
when sanitary precaution requires it,
and to charge the cost upon the owners
Com missioner Feeney said he would ask
the Finance Board for an appropriation
to fill in lots on Grove street. The own
ers could then be made TO reimburse the
city.
The Board appointed DR.. T. ]. Nc
Laughlin to the surgical staff and DR.. w
Perry Watson TO the medical staff OF the

A CASHIERS SUICIDE.
Mr.. +. +. Thomas Ends His Life by a
Pistol Ball.

f. F. Thomas a well-known man of this
city, committed suicide yesterday afternoon
at o'clock at his residence, 1135 9Th
street, by putting a bullet into his heart.
There are few men about town whose
face is more familiar to citizens generally
than was that of the unfortunate man who
killed himself yesterday For years he
had sat behind the marble counter at Har-
veys restaurant as cashier and had taken
in thousands of dollars for steamed and
liquid refreshments. He was regarded as
a model cashier and day in and day out
his cash invariably balanced to a cent. He
had many friends, not only among the
customers of the place. but all about town,
and was generally popular. For this rea-
son his sad end is greatly regretted. He
leaves a wife and son, the latter boy
aged about twelve years. Mr.. Thomas be-
longed to the Masons and the National
that he will be buried under the auspices
of the Masonic lodge tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Thomas formerly was an employe of
the Post Office Department, but for four or
fve years past had been cashier at Har-
veys.
For several weeks past Mr.. Thomas had
been out of sorts and was disconsolate, So
that his friends had some premonition of
his rash intentions. He had been suffer
ing from neuralgia and at times recently
had been drinking rather heavily. There
is little doubt that he acted yesterday
while under temporary alteration of mind
IL Is said that couple of months ago he
attempted to commit suicide in room in
small hotel on Pennsylvania avenue by
turning on the gas. The escape of gas was
noticed and his efforts frustrated by break
ing in the doors. Yesterday shortly after
4 O'Clock, when his family were startled by
pistol shot, rush was made to his room,
and he was found feebly gasping, with a
ouilet wound In the left breast and the re-
volver lying beside him. Dr. Woodward.
who lives just opposite. was called imme-
oiateiy, but the unfortunate man was dy-
ing then. -
