CONTAGIOUS DrsEAsr HOSPITAL.

Board of Health Want to Build Immedi-
ately-The Smoke Nuisance.
The contagious hospital had another
inning at the meeting of the board of
health last evening. 1t was when there
came an end to the routine business
which had come before the custodians
of the city's sanitary regulations, and
the board had listened to the interest
ing account of the Buffalo convention
of American health officers by DR..
Wright, that President Fleischner
said: Gentlemen, If there is no other
business before the board / would like
to inquire if there is anything in the
way of our beginning to build the hos
pital at once l understand the bonds
are ready. and can see no reason why
we should wait"
Commissioner Stannard said that he
did not know of any reason why they
could not begin at once on the build
ing.
Commissioner Blake said that a
prominent attorney had told him that
it was his (the attorneys) opinion that
the DOdEu OL HGdlln WAS empowered 10
build the hospital in spite of any action
the court of common council might
take The attorney in question was
very sure that the corporation counsel
would so decide if the matter was sub
mitted to him.
Mr.. Blake then moved that the cor
poration counsel be requested to give
his opinion as to whether the board of
health could proceed with the building
in spite of any action the court Of COM
mon council might take. The resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Blake
instructing the clerk to order the Con-
solidated railroad to abate the smoke
nuisance at the company's roundhouses
within fourteen days from the passage
of the resolution. The resolution also
stated that unless the order be COM
piled with the matter would be referred
to the county health officer for prosecu-
tion
President Fleischner thought that the
order would conflict with the work of
the city attorney, to whom the matter
had been referred, and who had said
that there was no existing ordinance
to govern the case; but that at the next
meeting of the court of common council
an ordinance would be submitted. The
board passed the resolution unanimous

LATIGNE DEFEATS ETEkHARDT.
Wins in the Twenty-fourth Round Before
the Bohemian Club.

New York, Oct. 27.-The Bohemian
Sporting club held it's first contest Of
Importance tonight, when George, bet
ter known as kid" Lavigne of Sag
inaw, Mich. and Jack Everhardt Of
New Orleans, the well known light
weights, met in twenty-five round
bout at 1873 pounds for a purse of $500.
The prices charged for admission. $50,
$40 and $40, kept the class of specta-
tors very select. The betting tonight
was 81 900 to $500 on Lavigne.
Both men reported themselves in
splendid condition. The contest was
advertised as being for the Light
weight Championship Of the World"
but the weights, at which the men
fought, precludes any such conclusion,
the legal weight limit being 1873 pounds.
Besides Jack McAuliffe undoubtedly
holds the lightweight championship.
Everhardt and Lavigne weighed in the
afternoon, and both were well inside
the limit.
Lavigne was awarded the decision in
the twenty fourth round.

ON THE MEDFORD TRACK.
Some Grand Racing Between Famous
Trotters and PAGERS.

TrOtters ana racers
Medford, Mass, Oct. 27.--The warm,
Indian summertime day drew out a
large gathering at Combination Park
to-day The opening event was the un-
finished 2:13 race, in which Robert
Wilkes had two heats to his credit and
Prince Albert one. The judges took
Driver Binney off his box and substi-
tuted Clarke as driver of Prince Alert.
This horse made a strong push for the
heat, but Wilkes won.
In the 2:25 pace the first heat was
won by Elton. In the second heat
Favor broke at the first thrust and set
way back. At the half it looked as If
he might be distanced, but he braced
and on the home stretch again forged
ahead and came in winner Of the heat.
The third heat was a repetition of the
second. In the fourth Favor went in
bad condition, a heart difficulty maxi
ing it necessary to give him medicine
and his driver was instructed to drive
a slow heat. This was done and Willie
Robbs won the heat with Favor last.
The fifth heat was the quickest in the
race, Willie Robbs winning 1t, with
Favor second. In the sixth heat there
was conflict on the part of the drivers
of Favor and Willie Robbs, and the
judges reserved their decision till to-
morrow.
The 2:24 trot was won in three
straight by Ben Wilkes.
The race of the day was the free-for-
all pace, with Guinette, Roam Wilkes,
Barney, Bumps and Sphinxetta as
starters. On the turn Roam Wilkes
went off his feet and before he could
recover himself had fallen behind far
enough to be distanced. Bumps, GUM
cite and Barney were neck and neck
at the half; Guinette led by a neck with
the other two after her on the home
stretch. When about thirty yards from
the wire Barney threw a shoe, sending
him into a run and losing him the heat
to Guinette. The second heat was for
blood, and the positions at the half
were Guinette. Bumps, Barney, Sphinx
eta. At the finish Sphinxetta and
Bumps had changed positions. The
race was then postponed to to-mor-
row.
Joe Patchen will try tomorrow to
beat his record on the track

Rome correspondent in which he says:
"The coming presidential election in
the United States Is the absorbing topic
at the Vatican, owing to the strides
made by Catholicism in America, now
one of the largest sources of income the
church has. 1t is recognized that the
standing danger to Romanism in the
United States is the independence of
the American bishops, noticeable since
the time of Plus TX. The latter fully
recognized that these bishops enjoyed
greater power than their brethren else
where, and he showed he understood
this by his answer to some English
who asked for certain privileges. He
said: I am, as you say, pope. vet /
