VIOLATION OF QUARANTINE
Mayor Sutr0 Refers the Matter to the
Grand Jury
He Desires a Clear Understanding Of the
Powers and Duties of the State
Board of Health

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 11.-Mayor
Sutro today called the attention of the
grand jury to the action of Quarantine
Officer Chalmers in ignoring the order of
the board of health to quarantine the
Australia the last time she arrived from
Honolulu. Instead of carrying out the Or
der of the board, DR.. Chalmers accepted
the advice of DR.. Peckham, the United
States quarantine officer in charge Of the
port, and allowed the steamer to dock.
Sixty seven passengers were allowed to
go ashore. The grand jury was request
ed to ascertain whether or not DR.. Chal-
mers is bound to obey the instructions
of this board of hearth and whether or
not as state officer he is obliged to en-
force its laws. The mayor asks the grand
jury to consult the district attorney and
take whatever action is necessary to
reach clear understanding of what au-
thority is vested in the board of health.

thing spectacular just before the curtain
went down. 1t had the desired effect.
The women in the back seats seemed to
have become suddenly imbued with the
idea that something big was about to
happen. They rose in their seats and
craned their necks to catch every move
ment and gesture the prisoner made. OF
course, such confusion and manifestation
of interest did not at all suit Judge Muir

Until 3 o'clock District Attorney Barnes
worried the witness-defendant. He m ade
him g1 over all the incidents ATTENDING
his visit to Emanuel church on April Sd.
The examination led up to the matter
Of Durrant notes of DR.. Cheney's lecture.
Barnes asked il it was not a fact that the
defendant did not have note of the
lecture on April 3rd. Durrant replied in
the negative. He had made skeleton
of the glst of the lecture and afterwards
compared 1t with Student Glazer's notes.
When DR.. Graham visited him in the
city prison DuIrant did not ask him for
his notes at all-they were offered to him.
'Do you wish the jury to understand
that it was at DR.. Grahams suggestion
that you asked for the notes?"
II do.'
"Who else did you speak to about the
notes?'
-. J. Gallagher.
What did he say?"
''He asked me if had notes. I told
him 1 did not know whether I had or
not. I had forgotten"

Durrant replied that it was on April
18th. In the excitement attending his
arrest his ideas became confused and he
had forgotten the incidents attending the
lecture.
Barnes was not discouraged. He rat
tied away at mis- man with cross fire on
the incidents attending Durrants meet
ing Organist King in the church after his
alleged repairs of the sun burner. Dur
rant had asked King 10 get him some
bromo- settler and the district attorney
wanted TO test his knowledge of the pro-
perties of this article.
Dickinson did not like the turn affairs
were taking and objected.
Judge Murphy thought the inquiry
proper. Durrant had atudied medicine
for three years, and 1t ought to be expe.
dent to earn whether he thought bromo-
settler good antidote for sickness OF the
stomach.
The prisoner evidently thought he was

said Mr.. BAR. "How 1t happened can
not tell you. nor can anyone else. The
track through Soledad canyon is in ex-
cellent shape. The rails are of steel and
ths roadbed protected by cement bull
warks. 1t is soidly built and carefully
looked after every day. The rails did not
spread. After we got my fireman out
and we saw tho extent of his injuries l

and fell back on his foot with tremend-
GUS force. He thought his time had
certainly come then. The pain that he
endured when the lifted quadrant again
fell against his manned foot cannot be
imagined. He uttered a beart-rendlng
shrek as it struck. but soon recovered
himself and remained silent.
The quadrant was lifted about ten
minutes after this incIuent. Her drew
his foot out and was then free of the
wreck. He was carried to the baggage
car, where the bruised mem Der was put
in cold water. This took the fever out
and relieved the pain. Hers escape
was m iracle.
THE MAIL CAR.
The mail car Jared almost as bad as the
engine. 1t was indeed fortunate that it
fell on the opposite side of the track from
the engine, for it was prevented from
rolling down the EN- bankment. AS it
was it fell against bank of rocks that
rises up twenty feet above the track.
Chief Clerk Charles Hilton was sleeping
In his bunk when the car turned over
on its side. He was thrown across the
coach and against the opposite side with
great force. Two ribs were broken.

The Confederate Monument.

GREENvILLE, 8. G., July 81, 1895.
Mr. EDITOR: enclose herewith note
Just received from Miss Lenora Hubbard,
who Is now recuperating at CBsar's Head
acknowledging the compliment 80 justly
paid to her by the survivors of the Pal
metto Riflemen at their recent reunion,
and ask for its publication in your col
umns to show the members of that gallant
command how their action is appreciated.
Let me add word = the Confederate
soldiers from Anderson County, who are
yet in the land of the living, and beg them
to move earnestly and quickly In co opera
ton with the ladies of the Memorial As
ISOLATION who are raising funds for the
erection of monument to our dead com :
rades. This work has been neglected too
long already, and those Of us who are still
among the survivors ought to press this
matter without delay until the requisite
amount is in hsnd. How 1t would delight
me, in occasional visits to old Anderson,
if I were permitted to look upon a shaft
who fought and died for the Coufederacy
Every Survivor would feel that bis own
sacrifices and privations were not to be
forgotten by the men and women of com
ing generations, if that monument is
erected before he passes over the river.
I wish also to say that the suggestion
made In Anderson that the court house
should be removed from the public square
and the monument substituted in its place
seems to me wise and proper conception.
A suitable building for the court house
cannot be erected on the old site, and the
monument surrounded by park proper
ly kept would add a great deal to the
beauty and attractiYeness of the city. 1t
would enhance the value Of surrounding
property if such plan were adopted. and
in many ways contribute to the pleasure
OF your citizens in days to come.
Very respectfully,
