BEST NONE TOO GOOD.
A Fastidious Horse Thief Who Visited
Woolwicfl.
(Special to the PRESS.


Woolwich, May 1o.-Some time last night
boldShorsegthief succeeded in stealing a
valuable team from the stable of Mr.. Fred
B. Reed, successful young farmer in Dres-
den. The horse was a glossy black with
light colored nose and weighs about 1850
pounds,ssas top buggy, good harness, robe,
halter and good overeoat, which the
owner had left in the carriage house. A dog
was kept in. the stable for protection, which
the owner now thinks of dispensing with.
A light was burning all night in Mr.. Reeds
house in plain view of the stable. Two
carriages were hauled. out, also oultivator
before the best carriage could be removed
These were all put back, and the doors were
closed. The team was tracked some miles
to Woolwich, where they made devious
turns into dooryards and cross roads to
thwart detectives who might pursue and
finally the trail was lost. A man was in the
neighboI hood Saturday afternoon making
inquiries where a nice horse could be pur-
chased, and doubtless he was the thief. 1t
seems evident from some clues that he came
from Boston to Bath on the steamer, Satur-
day morning.

after struggling until exhausted, will
never be known. Britton was man OF
drinking habits and had evidently been
drinking on Easter Sunday, but Mr..
Smith, the landlord of the Central
| House. says BIitton could not have been
said to be badly intoxicated when he
stepped into the hotel on his way to the
| Delean house. and the Deleans say he
was sober when he left their house, but
Mrs. Delean says that during his call,
while he was notnsintoxicated, he did ap-
pear nervous and as ifsshe was not well.
"a curiou.features of the case is the fact
that Britton's watch stopped at 9.20,
five hours after Joe Delean says that he
left him. Unless the watch would
run some time in the water, this Cir
oumstance would seem to Indicate that
Britton did not die until after the time
generally supposed.
MR.. WIN R.PLUMMER
told the PRESS correspondent one or
two things in relation to circumstances
which have hitherto been regarded as
suspicious. 1t has already been shown
that Britton's hat was in the placs
where it was found while the searchers
were exploring the ground there on the
day previous to it's discovery. Now
1t is said the hat was seen by no less
than three persons which still further
in creases the wonder why the search Ell s
did not see it. A flock of geese and the
light of party of smelt fishermen ex-
plains, it is said, another circumstance.
The geese made the noise which the Cas-
co man mistook for the sound of oars
out on the Panther pond and the light
he saw was probably not on the pond at
all, but brook where the smelt fish
ings going on. That at least is one
theory.
THE CLOSING SCENE.
in the life of Henry Britton was one
weird and spathetic. This afternoon, it
being evident that the condition of the
body made tspeedy interment-. necessary,
a grave was prepared beside that of the
young mans father. and tonight, in
the darkness and storm, the remains
were tenderly laid at rest, few lanterns
making little patch of light in the
gloom. To the last, Brirton's neighbo1s
which began in asdetermined effort
to solve the mystery and ended in the
care and solicitude they have shown to-
day in assisting the authorities. Dur
ing the search for Britton tbs people
turned out by the hundred, cheerfully
giving their time and labor. Tonight,
they unite in expressions of relief that
the end of the mystery will probably set
at restEall the suspicious that have been
entertained. Unlesss the evidence before
the coroner's jury contains something
very unexpected, it may be safely pre-
dicted that the verdict will be one of ac-
cidental death.

old, quite short, who escaped from the in

given the police officers is that the girl

cannot be learned. No clue of the where

SITUATION AT MIDNIGHT.
BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING.

A meeting of representative native
Hawaiians of the city, doctors and
members of the Board of Health was
held yesterday morning at IL o'clock.
There were present over forty persons,
most of whom were Hawaiians.
President Smith announced that the
meeting was for the purpose OF obtain
ing the ideas of Hawaiians on the chol-
era situation. The disease had been
confined almost entirely to natives.
Cases had been concealed from the
Board of Health until patients had
been so far gone as to render all help
useless. The idea had gone abroad
that native cholera patients were be-
ing killed by white doctors. 1t was
no wonder they died when conceal
ment was carried to such an extent.
In foreign countries from fifty to sixty
per cent of cholera patients succumb-
ed under the very best OF care. In
Honolulu twenty one had died out of
twenty four cases. Mr.. Smith then
cited the cases of natives who had
been suffering at home for some time
before being reported to the Board of
Health. He spoke also of the fish and
other articles of food from the harbor,
eaten raw by the natives. There was
absolutely no danger if they would
only cook their food and boil their
water. So much regarding these
points had been published in the news
papers and yet the natives did not
seem to appreciate their Importance.
DR.. Herbert wanted to emphasize
the points made by President Smith.
He then gave the symptoms of cholera
in order that there might be no mis-
take on the part of those present as to
recognition of the first signs of the
disease. To demonstrate the careless
ness of natives the sad case of Pilipo
was cited. Before his arrival at the
house, Pilipo's vomit had been thrown
all over the bathroom by some MEM
ber of the household. This was allow
ed to flow through to stagnant water
directly beneath the house where
small mullet and crabs were swim
ming and crawling about. What was
the reason for the non-appearance OF
cholera among the white population?
Nothing but the care taken with re-
spect to. cleanliness of both person and
food
w. c.. Achi asked if any danger of
cholera could came from
inhaling air in the same room with a
patient suffering from the disease.
Dr. Wood said that there was pos
sibility but it was so slight that 1t
could be almost ignored.
J. F. Colburn brought up the ques-
ton of preventives which led to the
of many views by Hawai-
ians present.
DR.. Herbert thought preventives
were good things to have in the house.
He recommended smoking as a most
excellent requirement in time Of chol-
era.
J. L. Kaulukou produced copy of
the New York Sun cholera mixture,
and said he thought the poor people
should be furnished with some pre-
ventive, free of charge, by the Board
Of Health.
DR.. Rodgers was of the opinion that
it w uld be a dangerous proceeding to
distribute preventives indiscrimi
ately among the people. They "
