PHYSICIANS HAVE COMPLAINED.
So Good Was the General Health, of
Indiana People in 1894.

Secretary Metcalf of the State Board of
Health. filed his annual report with the
Governor yesterday morning After the
chief executive had seen the document it
was submitted to the members of the State
board, who met in regular session. That
part of the report recommending certain
action the part OF the Legislature was
considered and passed upon. The most inn
portant item to be presented to the Gen.
eral Assembly will be the request for in
crease of the annual appropriation from
5000 to $4,000.
1t will also be recommended that the
State establish a meteorological department
at one of the State educational Institutions
The Legislature will be asked to make
part of the State laws a code OF twenty
two rules, prominent among which is a
clause relating TO the disease of smallpox
making it the duty of the local health
officer in whose Jurisdiction such an out
break may occur TO immeda tely proceed
to the management of the disease. In case
the local officer shall refuse to take such
rotary OF the State Board of Health The
Legislature will be further asked to re-
auire burial permits in town and country
alike, in order that statistics of death may
be more readily obtained.
In his report the secretary says the health
of the people OF the State has been SO
good the last year that physicians in their
reports have complained of dull times
and a ..distressingly healthy" condition of
as usual in many parts of the State and
is attributed by the secretary to the low
water supply. He advises physicians in the
country districts to insist upon the boiling
, of all water used for drinking purposes
The Secretary regrets that in many locali-
ties 1t has become the custom TO appoint
a physician as health officer who will do
the work for the lowest salary. This is
DONE the Secretary says, without regard
to the qualifications of the applicant. In
concluding he refers to the custom as a
''perncious practice that ought to be con-
demned ~ t,rry re- uiable man in the
medical profession.
In submitting the financial estimate for
the year the Secretary shows that every
dollar of the 5000 appropriation has been
expended III addition TO The 5000 given the

Ten PeddIers of Soap.

stylishly dressed woman was walking
around in the down town stores yesterday
afternoon, trying to sell soap. Otis Balloon,
the license inspector, observed her and asked
her if she had a license to ~peddle. The
woman became indignant and threatened to
call a policeman, but Balloon displayed his
badge and explained that he was one of
Mr. PoweIrs trouble bearers. She next
threatened to have the officer discharged
for deigning to stop and question woman,
but the hard hearted Balloon informed her
that she could either promise to take out a
license or accompany him to police head
quarters. She decided upon the former
course and ten minutes later she applied
at the controllers Office for the license.
She brought with her ten companions, all
soap peddlers, who also paid the required

A RUSHING TORRENT.
Two Towns on the SalidO River Swept
Away.

No Lives We're Lost, But the Destruction
of Property Is Enormous-A Cloudburst
Caused the Damage.
St. Louis, Sept 5.-A special to-the
Chronicle from Piedras Negras, Mexico,
says that adyices have reached there of
the almost complete destruction of the
towns of Rodriguez and Abastor, situ-
ated south of there, in the valley of the
Salido river. Both places were wiped
out of existence by cloudburst, which
occurred in the San Bias Mountains, back
of the towns The water rushed down
in the valley in tremendous torrent,
sweeping everything before it. 1t covered
the ground to depth of six feet and
thessfood was from six to nine miles wide.
The business houses and residences of
the two EEtowns.were builttof. adobe and
they melted away before the tor rent of
water like so much sand The town of
Abastor had population Of /, 500 people.
The inhabitants saw the torrent coming
down the valley in time to make their
escape and SO far as known there were
no lives lost in that place, although not
more than fifteen houses are left stand
ing. Every house in the town of Roder-
iguez, which hadia population. of. ZOO, was
washed away, but no lives were lost 1t is
feared that there was great destruction OF
property and that lives were lost farther
down the valley as a portion is thickly
settled. 1t is known that all the build
ings on the Hacienda of Jose Ross were
caught in the food and washed away.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT ON ROTHS-
CHILD.
Lighted Bomb Extinguished in the
Crowded Bank in Time to Avert an Ex.
plosion.

London, Sept. 5.-A Paris dispatch
furnished to the Globe by news agency
says that bold attempt was made to-
day to explode bomb in Rothschild's
bank in the Rue Lafitte. While the busi.
ness of the day was at it's height, man
walked. into the bank carrying under his
arm a.bomb, to which was attached a
lighted fuse One of the detectives en-
ployed in the bank, who was standing
near, sprang upon the man. seized the
bomb and extinguished the fuse in time
to prevent an explosion. The would-be
bomb thrower was arrested and taken to
the police station. Attempts to blow up
Rothschild's banking establ shment,
taken in connection with the recent send
ing of an Internal machine through the
mails to the office of Baron. Alphonse de
Rothschild, signifies a persistent pur-
pose ON the part of the anarchist element
to inf1ict injury upon the heads and en-
ployes of the Rothschild house.
The man who was arrested while at
tempting to explode the bomb in Roths-
ohild's bank was taken to the police STA
tion. He is about 25 years old. He re-
fused to give his name, but indulged in
the usual anarchist boasts, declaring that
others would succeed. ..where..he had failed.
The bomb was a primitive sort OF affair.
it having been made-out OF tin that had
contained cocoa. The contents are not
vet known The bomb was taken to
municipal labratory, where the contents

in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Some time
ago committee of naval officers was ap-
pointed by Secretary Herbert and the
tests have been watched with great deal
of curiosity by many persons Interested
in maritime affairs. The model in the
navy yard is three feet six inches square,
but there is no limit to the dimensions
which may be given to the frame. The
size of the letters is, of course, in accord
ance with the extent of the frame. For
all practical purposes, however, the navy
yard frame is as large as will be necessary
in actual service. 1t is declared that
letters three and a half feet long may be
clearly seen at sea for distance of ten
miles. The frame now being tested has
lights of sixteen candle power.
1t is believed that not alone will the in
vention be of great service to the navy,
but that the larger yachts will use it.
Almost all of the newer yachts have
electric plants, and these may be utilized
in the new signals. The frame may be
run to the masthead and signals spelled
out letter by letter.

THE WALLER CASE.
Oficial Information From the Commander
of the Castine on the Matter.

Washington, Sept. 5-The comman-
der Of the Castine has written a report
from Tamataye on the Waller case.
This document has just been received by
the.State Department. and is now on file
there. 1t. bearsrrout the statements Of those
who have maintained that Waller was
unjustly treated by the French authori-
ties, and in a general way it argues
against his continued incarceration.
This mission was part of the Castine' s
purpose in visiting Madagascar. The
non-saluting incident, therefore, had a
significance which will only now be fully
appreciated by the French, and by the
rest of the civilized world.
Waller's statement, made in prison a
week ago Sunday, and said to have been
mailed from Paris the next day, has not
yet reached the State Department. Neither
has the evidence upon which Waller was
convicted loeen heard from, although the
French government promised to expedite
it's transmission from Madagascar more
than a fortnight ago.
From the correspondence between Con-
sui Wetter and the French commandant,
Keisel, at Tamatave, over the conviction
of Waller, it appears that the American
representative became concerned on his
own account atsthe severity of Waller's
sentence. He thereupon addressed letter
to.the commanding officer of the French
troops, in which he asserted that he had
not had the proper facilities to ASST st
Waller.
In reply to this Commander Keisel
practically called Wetter liar by insist
ing that he had been kept informed of
all the proceedings against Waller by Con-
sui Girardeau; that he had failed to ex-
h1bit the slightest interest in Waller, and
had left him to his fate, and that
Wetter, in addition to the information
given him of the proceedings of the court
martial, had been furnished with copies
Of all of Waller's letters upon which the
charges against him had been based
kWetter then asked for copy Of the REQ
ord and evidence in the so-called trial of
Waller, and promptly received informa-
tion that all the papers connected with
the case hadabeen sent to France
This was in April, and was the first
part of the correspondence between We
ter and Keisel. from Paul Bray's story
of Wetter's Indifference and hospitality to
Waller during his arrest, trial and trans
portation.
The second development is the startl-
ing statement that the evidence which
the French government has pretended 10
be seeking in Madagascar since May was
actually forwarded by the French COM
mandant in April last, if his letter to
Wetter can be believed, and there isEno
reason to doubt it.

NO DOCK LARGE ENOUGH.
The Batt1eship Indiana Sent to Halifax to
be Drydocked.

Washington, September 5.-Charles
Cramp of Philadelphia, the ship builder
called on Secretary Herbert at the Navy
Department today and informed him that
he had decided to dock the new battle
ship Indiana at Halifax, N. S. The
Indiana, while practically completed, has
not had her official trial and is therefore
still in the hands of the contractors. Her
hull has become dirty from lying in the
water SO long and its cleaning will be
necessary before the trial. Camps
decision to take the Indiana to British
port was made necessary by the fact that
the United States does not possess a dry
dock large enough for a vessel of the
Indiana's class. Cramp will have the
docking done by his own men.

doesn't always feel like intrusting all
hope of increasing his bank account to

Now, however, if the experiments under

successful, electricity will be called into
play and those who sail the waters OF tn Q

The principle of the latest invention Is
that of monogram. inasmueh as by the
use of frame whose dimensions may be
regulated at the will of the ship master
every letter of the alphabet may be pro-
duced on the plaEe by means OF incandes-
cent electric lights, one letter after an
other.
The frame is divided into twenty
sections On each of these sections is a
row Of electric lamps. Each section OF
the monogram is connected with
separate current or circuit of wire. By
combination of the various circuits all
the letters Of the alphabet may be
formed. The wires controlling the current
are carried in cable to machine re-

located any distance away from the

machine is that of regulation board on

only difference is that each key is in

Rochester, N. H., September ga
clinoher was sprung on all hotels. saloon
and other places where liquors are sold
late tonight by the police officers, under
instructions of Mayor Sweet, notifying
such places to close at 10 O'Clock and to
sell no more liquor. Even drug stores
were included, they being told to supply
no liquors under any circumstances ex-
ceept on physicians prescriptions, the
same to be fled with and treated as ordi-
nary prescriptions At nine o'clock the
officers started on their tour Of notifica-
tion, the entire force being employed,
and even then teams had to be pressed in
to service, and in some places dealers
were locking their doors when notified.
Coming just before the annual fair, it
has caused great excitement from the
fact that in the inaugural address of the
mayor last ] anuary he characterized the
fair last year, owing to the open
gambling on the streets in public carried
on, as the Monte Carlo Of America, inti-
mating that such things should not
happen under his administration.
The hotels threaten to close their doors
to.all comers, and the result of this order
is awaited with great interest. The
druggists are particularly indignant and
say they will not furnish liquor under
any circumstances. The physicians are
surprised at such an order, as their pre-
scriptions will not be honored containing
LIQUOR unless the same Is compounded.
Taken altogether, it is the most exciting
night of the year. Sixty-five places will
