COUNCIL DEADLOCK.
Another Effort to Get Aldermen to
Increase Tax Rate.
Special Meeting Called--Mr. Nichols Sizes
Up His C0nfreres.

IL the tax rate for 1895 is not fixed be-
], how are the assessors to !know what to
assess? In that case, adds President
Barney of the school committee, where
will the city be at? For 1t is quite i'm
portapt 10 assess something to pay the
expense of maintaining the government.
The query was brought about by the
deadlock between the Aldermen and
Councilmen, because q majority Of the
latter want the tax rate increased to
sl.65 per FOO, end majority of the
former have saio that they desire ii to
remain at SLIGO. in order TO Try and effect
some understanding, immediate action
must be taken, as the assessors will be-
gin in June to advertise for three con.
secutive weeks, and reasonable space of
time must be allowed for public hear
ings. Consequently, Mayor McGuinness
has called special meeting OF the Board
OF Aldermen for 3 O'Clock Thursday after
noon next, at which time 1t will be de-
cided whether the Board can be prevailed
upon to concur with the Council or not
Alderman Nichols sizes the matter up
very succinctly, after this fashion: "We
need six Aldermen to carry the thing.
Four OF us, Messrs. Little, Richards, Bur-
bank and myself favor the increase. How
to get the other two is puzzle. YOU
might as well try to turn the Third and
Tenth Ward representatives as to move
the sun; they are out for politics. In
fact, Alderman Darcy told me yesterday
that IL has always been the custom to let
things go on and we woald find IL easier
To do so. He wants reelection and /
don't. II go back the people will send

DIPHTHERIA QUARANTINE.
The Disease Makes Its Appearance
Again at Howard.
Boys In Number One Cottage Continue
To BE Victims. Dt

Superintendent James II. Eastman and
head physician George Il. Keene OF the
State institutions at Howard are rather at
loss to know what to do about the diph-
iberia which keeps cropping up among
the boys in:the.primary, or No. ], cottage
OF the boys school. Since last fall there
have been about 40 cases, and two deaths
among the boys In the cottage, and they
have been practically under quarantine
all that time. Each time the quarantine
has been raised, which has been Is days
or two weeks after the last vestige OF the
scourge appeared, it was thought that
there would be no more diphtheria. The
last quarantine was raised last week,
Wednesday, after Is days precautions,
and the surprise OF the officials may be
imagined when they discovered another
case fairly well advanced last Sunday.
Immediately steps were taken to treat the
case, the little patient was at once iso-
lated lated: and n the old quarantine nins, was put on
ments at the institution. rs is well
known, are Of the best, and the corps Of
physicians, headed by. DR.. Keene, COM
prise the beat in the country. Dr. Keene
. is q firm. believer In anti-toxin treatment
and has managed in almost every case, as
in the present instance. to keep the
AAocdoc tOhhHtu w iilid iOAhls Va tho
two deaths mentioned, one was the first
boy OF the 40 to be.stricken. In the other
case, the lad was allowed to visit his
father, who was very sick, and when he
returned the disease was in such an ad-
vanced stage that life could not be saved.
At. present there are 56..hoys in the
school, and while the ofncers wish II un-
derstood that there Is really nothing very
alarming In the situation they advise that
the practice OF visitation be dispensed
with for the time being, because IL the
disease should get out there is no know
ing where Ii will stop.
Superintendent of Health Chaplin was
askd what he thought about 1t and he
said tnat while he knew nothing about
State institutions, so TO speak, he Is not
surprised that where diphtheria once
breaks out it is liza bic to recur for long
time, because on general principles no
matter how thoroughly the fumigation
may be there are apt to be hacilli lurking
in hidden places. For instsnce, he says,
throat culture may be taken and no
signs OF the disease may show, while
somewhere in the throat there may be
some bacilli left which in the course Of
time will develop into diphtheria.
Then again, 1t is hardly to be expected
where so many children are Assem- bled
under one roof that the terrible disease
can be gotten rid OF easily, as was demon
on Tobey street.
Nothing can be done In the matter
more than has been done, and Is being
done, and IL seems as IL the germs must
be waiting in the cracks of the floor to
spring into the throats of the boys in cot
tage ! as soon as the quarantine is raised.
Superintendent Eastman says he is on iy
too glad at times to let the public
know when anything OF the sort is going
on within his precincts.

OLNEYVlLLE.
A Very Big Majority Given In Favor
Of Annexation.
Committee Appointed to Confer With Rep
resentatives Of City.
TIE News BUREAU, OLNEYvIrru,
No. 8 Hartford Ayenus

JnK News BUREAU, OLNRYvrrLu.
No. Hartford Avenue
The expected happened yesterday. BY
a vote OF more than two to one the tax
payers OF Johnston expressed themselves
In favor Of anncxing portion OF the town
to the city of Providence, providing
terms can be agreed upon. Tho whole
nun, ber Of votes pclied was 356. This was
lib more than the number present and
voting at tho financial meeting where 243
was the largest number OF votes cast on
any question. The ballots favorable to
annexation mum bered 253, those opposed
103, a majority of $50. Neither the an
nexationists or the ant's made any
special effort to obtain large vote.
Considering that more than one hun
dred electors voted on this question than
at the financial meeting which is supposed
to lie paramount to all other elections,
the vote appears to Indicate a sentiment
that.will ultimately bring about a union
OF the Olneyyille section OF Johnston
with the city. After the votes We're
counted and the result announced by
Moderator Harrington, the following
committee was chosen to confer with the
city authorities: George w. White, John
j. Harrington, Herbert Ii. Wood, +. A.
Twitchell, Frank L. Hanley, William B.
Coiwell, Howard q. Saunders, Walter l.
Barnes and Theodore S. Hughes. In poll
tics six members OF the committee are
Repu blicans and three Democrn1s. Five
OF the number are residents OF toDe soc>0pn
1t is proposed TO annex, the other four
reside In the portion that would remain
a town. The committee was given power
TO I'LL vacancies should any occur.
SALARIES AND APPROPRIATIONS REDUCED.
The average thoughtful taxpayer of
Johnston depreciates the unbusiness like
method OF the financial meeting yesterday
which reduced the salary OF the tax as
SCISSORS from x160 to FOO each when ii was
considered by those in a position TO
know that the sum OF $3.50 which they re-
ceived last year was not adequate for the
work they are called upon to perform.
The reduction OF the town sergeant's
salary from $500 to S40o was a niggerdly
move aud in accord with the reduction OF
the tax assessors pay. The refusal of
the meeting to make any appropriation
for the Olneyviile Free Library was not
on the liberal line that the friends OF ed
ucation would like to see. This library
has become an almost essential adjunct TO
the schools Of the town, but without the
assistance of an appropriation the library
will have to. be closed during portion OF
the year.
POLITICAL.
Harry Daw of the Republican town
committee, who has been quoted as say
ing that John Harlow, who secured the
nomination for Councilman at the recent
caucuses, sent word to the committee "that
they were chumps and he had no use
for them," omphatically denies that any
such message was sent to the committee.
Mr.. Daw says that Mr.. Harlow told him
she did not ask anything from the com
mittee," but he did not send the message
to the committee. 1t was a conversation
with him as a citizen.
