It is probable that the directors OF the
Citizens Street-railrosd Company will
meet in this city within the next few days.
and that at that meeting the rumored
changes in the directory and the officers Of
the company will take place. Local di-
rectors are very reticent on this point. and
decline TO say anything about it. as does
President Mason. other than that he knows
OF nothing. It is asserted by certain gem
tlemsn that another gentleman had told
him yesterday that he. the latter enc, had
eaten dinner with Tom Taggsrt the day
before. and that Mr.. Taggart had said that
he had determined to accept the offer made
him of the presidency of the company. and
that the directors were to meet here this
week for the purpose of appointing him.
Mr. 1aggart ia reported to have said that
he wants TO get out of politics and that this

The Journal reports DIR. Metcalf as saw.
ing of cholera: THE prospects of escaping
the plague are very good. but do not like

years ago. from San Francisco authority,

but all were rescued and all recovered,
In spite OF the predictions that they would
die. is not the fact that those patients
were SO easily cured by that salt bath suffi-
cient to warrant the cure OF every case of
smallpox as it is developed by the same
salt bath, and. without allowing the people
to become alarmed about its possible ap.
pearance In our Stat-i Also, it has been
published that the physicians of France
proved. by experiment, that salt water
