The City's Old PesthOuSe a Thing
of the Past.
How 1t Was Destroyed Yesterday in
Compliance with the Ordinance
Another TO Be Built.

On the verge of a smallpox scare the
city now finds itself without a pesthouse
the old one having been burned yesterday
morning, at o'clock. according TO the re-
quirements Of the city ordinance. At that
time Mayor Denny. President Hays. of
the Board of Health. Superintendent of Po-
lice Powell, Chief Webster, OF the fire de-
partment, with a supply wagon and a
chemical, arrived at the scene of pro-
posed destruction. A fireman cut an open
ing in the side of one of the houses, some
oil-soaked shavings were thrust into it and
ignited and the work of demolition had be-
gun. A second building was fired and soon
a third. When the fire was at it's height
an alarm of fire was sent in. but as this
was understood the companies did not an
sWer the CALL As the buildings were dry
and of a combustible material it was not
long before they were leveled TO the ground.
An occupied building. close to the pest
house, was also burned after the occupants
had moved out.
The pesthouse buildings and grounds oc-
cupied nine acres on the banks of Fall
creek, in the vicinity of Indiana avenue
and were first used as such by the city
ana the government During the war many
wounded soldiers were quartered there and
a number died there Shortly after the war
the buildings were burned and the land was
leased from the owner, J. II. McKernan
after which the city bought the land. The
present buildings were erected, and have
been but little used except during one
smallpox epidemic over ten years ago. The
buildings have been abandoned for over
three years. Judge Brown of the Circuit
Court, appointed Thomas II. Spann, +. w.
hamilton and James s. Cruise to aDpraise
the land. They viewed it yesterday

THE SLOW COMMISSIONERS.
They Showed Little Inclination
Help Build the Penthouse.

Several weeks ago. when reports OF the
great spread of smallpox in the city of
Chicago reached this city the city health
authorities at once began to devise plans
TO prevent the spread Of the disease in
this city in case it should break out here.
The pesthouse which was standing near
the City Hospital was worthless and en-
tirely unfit for the uses for which it had
been erected. 1t had no convenences. and
was old and dilapidated. The City Board
wards the erection of a new pesthouse on
the old site AS IL was probable that a
large number Of patients from outside the
city would be treated at the pesthouSe IN
case OF an outbreak Of the disease the
County Commissioners were asked to aid

To PLAT BRUCE PLACE.
Park Avenue VIII BE Opened Under
Certain Conditions.

The Board of Public Works, yesterday
afternoon. visited Bruce Place, in company
with attorney Rocker, representing the es-
tate of James Bruce and the other inter
ested property owners. Their object is to
determine what is necessary for the city
to do in order to Justify the owners in plat
ting Bruce Place. Attorney Rocker says
II the city will extend the water mains on
Broadway and Park avenue from Fifteenth
to Seventeenth street and place electric arc
lights at College avenue and Sixteenth
street and one other within the unplatted
territory that the entire six blocks will be
plated This is very important matter
TO that part of the city. The proposed plat

settle all dispute as to the rights of the
city in the matter Of Sixteenth street and
Broadway where they pass through Bruce
Place. 1t would also widen Fifteenth and
seventeenth streets and Central avenue
making them conform to the width of those
streets elsewhere.
