monthly fine against joint keepers
should be 800 instead of SIS as it hes
been formerly. That was little
more than the fellows could stand,
and so they shut up shop. All of

to show that the enforcement of pro-

studied medicine says that dyphtheria
can always be cured by putting live
coal in a pipe bowl then pouring oil of
tar on it and blowing the fumes
through the stem of the pipe into the

that nineteen out of twenty cases of

putting the feet of the patient in hot
water, wrapping a hot cloth about
the throat and swabbing the throat
internally with burnt alum finely
powdered.

STATE HEALTH OFFICERS HERE

NET IN ADJOURNED SESSION AT
THE CLAYTON HOUSE THIS
MORNING.
The State Board Of Health held an
adjourned meeting at the Clayton
House this morning. The business
transacted was routine in character,
and was chiefly to prepare the annual
report to be submitted to the Legisla-
ture.
DR.. Ellegood of Concord, one of the
members, when seen by an Evening
Journal reporter this morning, stated
that the business before the board was
of a nature not especially interesting

devoted to the state work of other
boards of health and reports were
heard regarding the sanitary condition
of the state towns and the condition
of school buildings, white and colored
Some were very good and others very
bad, and a full statemAt of the cOndi-
tion of each will appear in the annual
report. After the adjournment the

THE ALCEDO SEIZED
Short L:bels the Yacht
on a Claim.
A FIREMAN THE COMPLAINANT

ANOTHER SUIT MAY BE FILED
AGAINST THE VESSEL RESULT
ING FROM THE BLOWING OUT
OF A BOILER HEAD, KILLING A
MAN.
The yacht Alcedo, belonging to George
w. Childs Drexel, was seized by Mar
shal Short this afternoon on a libel
filed with United States Commissioner
Smith in the United States Court by
Walter Hayes, counsel for John Bra
den, the complainant.
The brief alleges that Braden ship
ped from Philadelphia as a fireman on
board the yacht for cruise to Euorpe.
When Norway had been reached the
complainant alleges that he was shame
fully treated by the captain and put
off the boat.
His claim amounts to s172. Braden
shipped aboard an English tramp
steamer and went to Philadelphia,
where he resides.
The owner of the Alcedo is one of
Philadelphia's richest men, and it is
likely the suit will be compromised be-
fore it comes to trial.
There may be another big suit
against the vessel, as it is alleged that
a fireman was killed on board the boat
during the European cruise by the
blowing out of a cylinder of one of the
boilers. The relatives Of the man who
was killed in the accident were in vii
mington yesterday, and were in consul
tation with Lawyer Hayes. If th'
suit is brought it will probably com'
before Judge Bradford, of this city. Tn,
fireman who was killed lived in Con
| necticut
The boilers of the Alcedo were pu
i in the yacht as an experiment and ar
considered dangerous. 1t is known tha
Mr. and Mrs. Drexel went to Europe ol
liner, rather than make the trip ol
the yacht. Heavy damages will be askei
for.
The yacht came to the wharf of tn
Harlan and lHOllingswOrth Company OF
Sunday to lay up for the Winter.

~ biAHlN WOllk lMMEDlAIELN
FOR THE CORINTHIAN YACHT
CLUB.
The Corinthian Yacht Club. of
Philadelphia, yesterday contracted with
the Harlan and Hollingsworth Ship
building Company for the construction
of six knock-about yachts for the use
Of the members OF the club The boats
will be built exactly alike in order that
the merits of those who may sail them
can be fairly tested rather than the fine
points of the vessels. Heretofore there
have been so many different designs OF
architecture of vessels in the club
yacht races that II has been impossible
to tell whether the one who sailed the
yacht or the fine lines on which the
winning craft was constructed won.
In order that everybody in the club
may have the same chance the new
yachts will be as near alike as they
can be built. The contract calls for six
sloop-rigged yachts. without bowsprits,
33 feet over all, s feet beam and A feet
depth of hold, exclusive of the centre
board. To give the vessels the proper
stlifening 1900 pounds OF cast iron will
be fastened to the bottom o. the ves-
sci on the outside OF the keel. The wood
used in their construction will be OF
the best white pine. with galvanized
fastenings. fitted with Oregon pin,
masts.
The designs for the vessels have beer
made by w. Stearns, OF Marblehead
Mass. a well-known marine architect
who has achieved a reputation fol
planning pleasure craft of this type
/ The contractors will have the vessell
ready for delivery before the yachting
season opens next Spring.
The contract for the craft was signe,
last night by w. b. Henry, of the club
and work will be started this week oI

STITUTIONS.
Special Dispatch Evening Journal
Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-The business
and financial community was thrown
into the greatest excitement this fore
noon by the closing Of the doors of the
Chestnut Street National Bank, Of
which William NJ. Singerly, owner Of
the Philadelphia Record, is the presi-
dent
The excitement was increased to
fever heat by the announcement, which
followed closely on the banks suspen-
sion, that the Chestnut Street Savings
and Trust Company had also sus-
pended.
The capital OF the Chestnut Street
National Bank is half a million dol
lars, and the deposits in the neighbor-
hood OF two and a half millions.
The suspensions had a most depress-
ing effect, coming, as they did, without
a note Of warming, and caused many
timid persons to materially reduce
their deposits in other banks.
There is no reason to suppose that
any other institution Will in any. way
be affected by the failures of the two
Chestnut street institutions. They were
so closely related to one another thai
one could hardly be pinched withou
hurting the other.
AS the Chestnut Street National wal
not a reserve bank, it is hardly poss
Bile that any other bank can be affect
ed by the failure. On the other hand, 4
is more than likely that large amOun
Of money is due It from other banks.
In emergencies like these instead o
withdrawing accounts II would be bet

all round, thus giving finances tn

SAYS HE DOES NOT KNOW.
WALTER NJ. BOGCS TALKS ABOUT
HIS BROTHER, THE ASCENDING
BANK OFFICIAL.


Walter NJ Boggs, of Philadelphia, a
brother of William N. Boggs, of Do
yer, when interviewed regarding the
whereabouts and intentions,
said that he has not and as far as he
knew, none of the members of his fam
lily have heard from Boggs for several
months Should he return without
notifying them, Mr.. Boggs said, it
would be startling. The teller would
be sure to inform his relatives If he
contemplated coming home. Mr. BOgga
admitted that while the family had
been in communication with Boggs
several months ago, the missing teller
was advised to come home and sur
render himself. Mr.. Boggs denied that
Mrs. VILLAIN N. Boggs had come East
TO meet her husband, and said that he
believed Mrs BOggs had no informa-
tion that Boggs is coming home or con-
templating such a step.
Rumors Of Boggs' capture were de-

MAY RAID IRON HILL.
Government Detectives May
Ferret Out the Schemers.
BOGUS MONEY IN CIRCULATION

THE THREE MEN ARRESTED AND
TRIED YESTERDAY HAVE FUR
NIsHED AN IMPORTANT CLUE
TO THE UNITED STATES CFFI-
GALS.
The arrest Of John Rooney. Frank
Ingram and Patrick Hooban for at
tempting to pass spurious coins on
Front street restaurant keeper the
other night may lead to the United
States authorities sending a United
States detective to ferret out the report
regarding the large circulation of coun-
terfeit money at the race track at Iron
Hill. The three men were arralgned
before United States Commissioner
Smith, and their story was to the ef-
fest that they were horse jockeys, and
on Monday they played the races, and
one of the bOokies gave them the
money as their earnings on a race.
Under crOss-eXaminatiOn by United
States District Attorney Vandegrift the
men said that they knew the bOokie
who gave them the money, and the
United States authorities decided that
the matter needed the attention OF the
government detectives. IL is claimed
that other persons have been swlndled
by taking bogus money In return for
their puttings" ON the horses. II
could be easily accomplished, as it
would require an expert to tell the
bad money. The excitement attending
horse race Is intense, and very few
persons would notice the cOunterfeits
passed on them.
Commissioner Smith said to an
Evening Journal reporter this morning
that Marshal Short would probably be
| Instructed to send 10 Washington for a
secret service man to assist him in dis
covering the perpetrators Of the fraud
ulent scheme and a batch Of detectives
may be sent to the race track.
