spector Restored.
The City Board of Health met on Sat-
urday evening to discuss the action of the
City Trustees in consolidating the office
of Building and Sanitary Inspector with
that of Plumbing Inspector, and which
practically abolishes the former.
There were present Drs. Huntington,
Wizard. II. l.. Nichols, Parkinson and
Waggoner and W. d. Lawton, President
Of the Board of Trustees and ex otficio
President of the Board of Health.
DR.. Parkinson said he was in favor of
taking the action of The Trustees into
court Tor the purpose of determining the
authority of that board in the promises.
he held that the Board of Health could
elect Building and Sanitary Inspector,
who might serve for certain length OF
time and then sue for his salary.
DIR. Nichols read section of the charter
providing that the Trustees could dis
place any appointed officer. He sug-
gested that the Board of Health act
prudently In the matter.
Or. Waggoner said the only and proper
thlng Tor the members of the board to do
was to resign.
After further discussion DR.. Parkinson
introduced the following resolutions,
which were adopted
WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees of
the city of Sacramento has passed an
ordinance over the Mayors veto, discon-
tlnulng the office of Sanitary and Build
Ing Inspector, and requiring the In
spector OF Plumbing and Drainage to per-
form the duties thereof; and whereas, it is
apparent from this action that the Board
OF trustees are unaware of the necessity
tor this office, or of the amount of work
involved therein; therefore be it
"ResOtDed, That il is the Judgment of
the Board of Health that this action is
lneXpedIent and ill-advised.
"ReS0tUed, That with view of placing
this matter properly before the Board of
trustees, committee of this board ap-
pear before the Board of Trustees to pro-
test against this ordinance, and to respect
tully request the enactment of an Ordi-
nance providing for the re-establishmeut
OF the office of Sanitary and Building
Inspector"
Drs. Huntington, Wizard, Waggoner,
Nichols and Parkinson were appointed as
such committee.

Shortly after the boat left Clarksburg
he was left in charge by Chief Engineer
Cosgrove, and when a short distance
above Sutterville he went out on the

up, but met with no response. AS his
subsequent signals met with no response
The poat going on past her landing, he
instituted inquiry as to the cause, and
the steam was shut of. The oil can
which Ward took with him was found on
the platform beside the wheel, but no
trace was found OF Ward or of the lantern
he carried. 1t is supposed, therefore, that
he In some way lost his balance, or was
knocked overheard.

was well-liked by everybody on the boat.

London, April ga dispatch to the
Daily News from Paris says: The cat
astrophe occurred, few minutes before
$50 o'clock in the morning. A stone
cutter VINO had just commenced work a
short distance from the reservoir, saw
the front of the wall sixty feet high and
from 100 to $50 yards long, come down al
most instantly. The water poured down
the valley, forming a bore about sixteen
feet high. The food reached 1Iomsey at
7:05, having Travelled eighteen miles in
less than an hour and three-quarters.
The project OF Vosgas estimates the
number of victims at III. This loss of
life is probably underestimate as no
news. has yet been received from the
parish of Frizen, through which the tor
rent passed. The sound of the bursting
dam was heard several miles away. The
great rush OF water lasted about fifteen
minutes, when $1,000 cubic metres of
water had passed through the break.
At Bouzee itself, but one house re-
mains standing on the hill about the
reservoir which is now quite empty and
looks like an immense black hole in the
landscape The remains of the broken
wall are lying about for n distance of
500 yards below the opening. A small
pine woods which stood Beneath the
reservoir has completely disappeared
with the exception of two trees, between
the branches Of which a quantity of
wreckage remains. The great reservoir
was an exceedingly curious structure
1t was composed of three arms which
stretched out like fan between wooded
hills.

Nothing Official.

London. April 2S.-The following semi
official note was issued from the foreign
Office this evening:
Up to now, nothing has been officially
received regarding the course of events in
Nicaragua. No notification has been re-
ceived % the landing of blue jackets, as
stated IN the press dispatches.
1.-The absence of information, is believed
20 be due TO the fact that the telegraph
lines have been cut. Up to this evening
the admiralty is also without informa-
ton.
mo anxiety is felt as to the outcome
OF the Earl of Kimberlys attitude. There
is not the slightest doubt but that Mica
ragua will accede to the British demands.
Whatever may be the extent of the pres
sure required 10 bring about this result
the government will not hesitate to apply
St"
The Observer says: 1T is possible that
most Englishmen feel some regret that
we have been driven to take strong mea-
sures against q remote little South Am
erican republic. The only conclusion that
we can discover is that we really could
not help ourselves. The truth appears to
be that the Nicaraguan government is
thinking about as much as to what would
he good for itself as would be good for
Nicaragua. Now that Admiral Stephen
sons forces are in command at Corinto,
il may he hoped that the Nicaraguan
government will find itself in a position
TO make the concessions required by the
ultimatum.

| Denver, April 2S.-Although Receiver
and General Manager S. H. II. Clark, of
/ the Union Pacific, has had an order pre-
pared to discontinue connections with the
Julesburg branch of the Union Pacific.
Denver & Gulf system, it has been with
held, pending a conference with Receiver
Trumbull
The complaint of the Union Pacific is
that the Gulf has been flirting too much
with the Burlington through the connec-
ton of the Julesburg with the Cheyenne
| branch of the Burlington at Sterling. To
punish Mr.. Trumbull for his alleged dis
regard of the former close relations be-
tween the Union Pacific and the Gulf, Mr..
Clark had concluded to send all Denver
passenger business around by way OF
Cheyenne, and by withdrawing from the
Julesburg connection, leave. Mr.. Trum-
bull with 160 miles OF track segregated
from any other railroad except its diyor-
Gee, the Union Pacific
Receiver Trumbull seems not to have
been greatly disturbed by this threat.
The reason is said to be that by buil1ing
ten miles of track between Greeley and
kersey or Orr station, he can connect the
Grin Junction Cheyenne branch of the
Gulf road with the Julesburg line, and at
Sterling the Gulf can make connection
with the Burlington road. The Burlington
branch from Holdredge to ',hey anne
would, in turn, relieve the Orin-Cheyenne
line from its present position at the MR.
cy of the Union Pacific.
That such a combination with the Bur-
lington would be agreeable to both lines
there can be no question. The coal which
the Gulf commands is of the highest i'm
portance to the Burlington, aid as a
feeder for coal, iron and agricultural PRO-
ducts the Gulf would become under such
combination, most powerful ally TO a
road which terminates at Denver. That
the Burlington could deal with the Gulf
without disturbing its amicable relations
with the Denver & Rio Grande, is cntire-
ly possible, and it is known that 1t kas
been coquetting with the former connrt
of the Union Pacific with an eye &c tire
very combination the proposed Greer of
Mr.. Clark may bring about ut any time
Mr.. Trumbun is attending to The con-
struction of the new line from PueI.c to
Trinidad. which, when completed, will
unite the line 10 the south. He has re-
peatedly refused to talk about the 70
posed action of the Union Pacific toward
the Julesburg, but consoles himself III
the reflection that the aggressive COM
pany cannot throw us of the track"
which significant remark may be open to
many interpretations.
The construction OF the len miles from
Greeley would at least pll &c the Gulf in
an independent position between The Bur-
lington and Union Pacific, and strengthen
the line so much that the cost of its CON
stIuction even in these times would be
but mere bagatelle compared with the
results accomplished.
