Last evening, DR.. C. o. Probst, secre-
tary of the Ohio state board of health.
arrived in the city, He came here to
investigate the situation relative to the
smallpox contaglon in the over-the-riv-
err Ohio towns. When seen by an Intel
ligencer reporter he said that during
the two weeks since his last visit the
situation has vastly Improved. 30 much
so, in fact, that the question OF the rails
ing Of the rlYer-front guarantees Will
be brought UP at the meeting OF the
Ohio state board OF health, which, he
says. Is to be held In Bellaire to-mor-
row morning.
In addition to Dr. Probst, who is a

The criminal court met yesterday.
Judge T. J. Hugus presiding. and the
grand jury as empaneled and sworn
was composed as follows: Thomas
o'Brlen. foreman; A. ]. Mcculloch,
Henry Selbert, James BIrkett. H. c.
Caldwell, Charles s. Shook, Christian
Schnepf, A. C. Fisher. II. W. Schrebe,
Peter Erb. Charles Killmeyer. Charles
Leoflier, Charles oliver, c. w. Franz
helm and II. ]. Felber.
In giving the usual instructions to
the grand jury. Judge Hugus made
some suggestions aside from the GUS
tonary statutory charge. In the first
place he compllmented the police force
and the county constabulary on their
efficiency in running down criminals,
and he especially complimented Sherin
FranzheIm and his deputies on their
having broken up the prize lighting ut
Fulton, and In all probability putting
an end for long time to come TO such
demoralIzing exhibitions.
Referring to the mater or Indlcting
women for lettering in houses OF i'll
fame and keeping such houses. the
Judge said he regretted the fact that
the method OF treating the inmates OF
houses OF such character was FAR from
being reformatory In character. the
women usually went to jail. and after
n few days got out on their own aillda-
Wit that they were unable TO pny their
fines. Then they go back TO their
houses and live again the life which
the law seeks to lend them to abandon.
The Judge said he saw no use Tor
finding indictments against this class
81 To
take the matter In charge, since they
have ample Jurisdiction. The judge then
referred to the people who own the
houses which are rented for immoral
purposes. He thought they should be
dealt with according TO the law. but
with the understanding that the SEN
fences imposed be of such n nature
rs to cause the abandonment OF the
houses OF III fame. So far as the keep
ers OF the houses are concerned, he
thought the city should take them in
hand. The city. heEsnid. had full turis-
dIctlon, and the county could really
contribute nothing to the cause OF
morality by the action OF the courts.
II woman was indicted, however, the
person renting house TO her certainly
also ought TO be,
The grand jury was through with Its
labors at an unusually early hour' re-
porting before 1 o'clock. The only In
dIctments returned were as follows:
George, alias Roxy" o'Neill, petit
larceny. with count for former con-
vlction.
George Washington. colored, jumping
u board bill
James Williams. house breaking and
larceny.
Henry Kraft, larceny.
Hager Miller burglary.
J. Z. Thomas. jumping board bill.
Clara Moss, keeping a house OF Ill
fame.
A bill against Osce Stntler for as
sault was returned as mot true bill"
The court adjourned until Thursday,
when the docket will be called.
