UNDERTAKEN In TROUBLE
Two Warrants Have Been Issued
for James H. WinslOw.
Reported Violation of Health Regu-
latiOns VIII Be Heard in Police
Court-Facts in the Case.

The difficulties between the District
health department and Undertaken James
II. Winslow, which have been coming to
the surface every now and then since last
October, bid fair to reach some conclusion
shortly.
The department has issued warrants for
his arrest on two charges, the first for
falling to register his name as sUperin-
te ndent OF PayRe's Cemetery, as each
burial permit was issued to him, and the
second for interring the body OF an infant
in the cemetery without the necessary per-
init.
Mr. Winslow's breach of the department
orders in the first instance was due to
ignorance that the book IN question eX-
listed. He was appointed superintendent OF
Jhe cemetery in June, 1895, and regis
tered his crede ntials at the office in regu-
lar form, but was not notified OF the ne
cessity OF registering other than as an un-
dertIker, and never did so until notified u
feW weeks ago by Permit Clerk Parson.
The second charge is more serious, und
lays Mr.. Winslow open to the payment Of
fine ranging from S25 to $500, but, like
the first, is uue to misunderstanding ON the
part OF an emplOye.
death certificate was filed with the
undertaken and arrangements were made
for the burial OF an infant, supposed by the
health authorities, to have died of diph-
theria- As the parents OF the child had no
money, Mr.. WinSlow did not make appiica-
ton for a burial permit. on the day fol-
lowing the undertaken was detained at the
police court and left his establishment in
charge OF an employe, william Wise.
Meantime the father of the dead child
came in and represented to Wise that Mr..
Winslow had promised to bury the body.
The young man promptly completed ar
rangements for the funeral, and in few
hours arrived at the cemetery, where Sex
ton Jackson demanded permit. Wise ex-
planned to the satisfaction of the sexton
that MIR. Winslow had the permit, as lie
thought, but was at the police court and
the body was allowed to be buried.
When Undertaken Winslow learned of
the burial he reported the matter to the
health authorities and assumed response
bility for the act or his assistant, but the
matter was laid over until the recovery of
DIR. Woodward, who W as i'll at the time.
1t has since been postponed until the war
Thursday next set for a hearing. III. ar
fair will be thoroughly Investigated, but
Mi. Winsiow hopes for lcnient decision
by the board

GRAIN RATES ADVANCED.

Galveston. Texas, October 19.-on No
vember 9 grain rates from all the grain
ccntors of the West to Galveston will be
advanced about IS per cent and in como
instances more. The Katy received a tariff
today announcing the following chung
Main line points between Hannibal aud
Fort Scott: Wheat &c cents, corn % cents;
present rate, wheat l6 cents, corn II cents.
Fort Scott 10 Red river: Wheat % cents,
corn u cents present rate. wheat l6 cents,
corn 10 cents
2G cents, corn u cents, present rate. wheat
IL cents, corn Is cents.
The present rate from Kansas City is IL
cents ON wheat and IS cents on cora.
The wheat rates apply only when Tor OK
port and the corn rates apply on all other
millstuns.
1t is understood that the rates to tho
East will be raised November / and that
the dilferentals to Galveston, where this
port now enjoys differeniials, will be pre-
served This tariff is the outcome of the
rechccking of the rates referred to in Tho
Tribune several days ago. While Calves
ton agents have not been fully advised, il
is tacitly understood that the advance is
uniform to all ports.
The effect on the local grain shippers
was marked when the new tariff was an
nounced. one shipper tried to engage
ocean tonnage for half a million bushels to
head off the raise. But such tonnage is
not in sight at this time. II is not be-
lieved the raise will retard the grain move
ment this way beyond few days, which
will be necessary for the market to adjust
itself
