THE TRAlNMEN
Are Running their Trains Under
Great DidicultieS-A Hard
Question to Solve.

The town. Board of Health has
been holding one and two , sessions
every day since last Saturday. The
board is composed of DR.. F. S.
Mudd, PRESIDENT; DR.. G. A. Mar
tin, secretary; Drs. Thos. B. Hop
kins, P. NJ. Girard, F. R. Tolson
and Mr.. J. J. Davidson. At its
several meetings the board took a
number of precautionary measures
toward the protection of this COM
munity against the introduction of
the yellow fever which prevails in
New Orleans and some towns on
the coast. At one of its first meet
ings the board decided to establish
a quarantine against infected points
and called upon the City Council
to take the necessary steps to bring
about it's enforcement. A meeting
of the City Council was called to
receive aud 20 act upon the report
of the Board of Health. The
meeting was held Monday evening"
The resolutions of the board estab-
lished a quarantine against the city
of New Orleans, and necessarily in
cluded Algiers which formed part
of that municipality. This ar
rangement did not exactly suit the
Southern Pacific Company as it in
terfered with the running of trains,
and in order to prevent, If possible
any action detrimental to its in
terests, that great corporation was
represented by its rotund suPeIln-
tendent, Mr.. Billy Owens, whose
ponderous form appeared before our
city fathers and argued why the
quarantine should not include Al
giers. Fortunately the majority OF
the City Council would not listen
to such ridiculous proposition
and it was decided to establish a
quarantine calculated to protect the
community against the invasion or
a loathsome and infectious disease,
and not a subterfuge adopted in the
interests of the Southern Pacific
Company. In order to facilitate
the changing of crews, the Council
agreed to allow the railroad COM
pany to stop the west-bound trains
at the brick-yards where yard crews
would take charge of the trains and
run them as far as the station.
The crews put off at the backyard
were to remain in a coach at that
place where they would board an
east-bound train and return to
Algiers. 1t was proposed in this
manner to prevent the Algiers
crews from coming into the cor
porate limits, by being made to
stay in and around the coach, but
this arrangement was not suitable
to the Police Jury which body met
Tuesday evening and forbade the
railroad company to let its Algiers
crews remain anywhere within the
boundaries of the parish. 1t was
decided by the company to change
the crews at or near Morgan City.
Men from this station were made to
go to Morgan City where they
would take charge of the train,
running back to this place with
them.
The latter arrangement, it seems,
did not work we'll and the last plan
is to have the two night trains (the
day trains having stopped running)
meet somewhere in this parish
where the crews will be able to
change without getting off.
How long this arrangement will
last it is hard to say. 1t may be
knocked kite-high before the APP
pearance of The Gazette. In our
opinion it is only a question of a

Mondays Demonstration an Enjoyable
Event.
One of the most impressive of the
many features of theMemorial Day cele-
bration in this city was the parade and
battalion drill by the Knights of St
George. The streets were literally
packed with people to witness the dis
play and none were disappointed, al
though in numbers the line fell short
of expectations.
Both the Marietta and Parkersburg
bands were in the parade and fur
nished music throughout the march.
The prize battalion drill at the base
ball park attracted large crowd and
was well worth seeing. The Zanes-
Vile knights carried off the first hon
ors, with Parkersburg second. The
knights from Bellaire and Wheeling
were present, but not in uniform.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Eight -year-old Child Fatally Burned nj
the Children's Home.

Eight-year-old Child Fatally Burned at
the Children's Home.
Tuesday evening about $50 o'clock a
heartrending accident occurred at the
Childrer's Home, this county. Little
Maud Martin, aged eight years, who
came from Lawrence township, was
tending a baby as was her custom
while the regular nurse was at supper,
when in some manner her dress caught
fire from small flame in gas stove.
The flames seemed to catch her garm-
ents instantly, and before help could
get to her she was wrapped in the de-
vouring element. Blankets were at
once applied, and the fire about the
child was smothered.
Medical attention was at once hur-
riedly summoned, and the child's hurts
were relieved as much as possible.
She was horribly burned on almost
every portion of her body except her
| feet, and died at ten o'clock.
The childs father is John Martin,
now in Madison county, respectable,
hard working citizen.

PEOPLE WE KNOW.

They Say Is of Local lnterest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home it is bound to
carry weight with it's readers. When
so many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts; when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot be true, there is no
wonder that people become skeptical.
On one subject skepticisni is rapidly
disappearing. This is due to the actual
personal experiences of our citizens
and their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of reputa-
bic citizen living right here at home,
one whom you can see every day,
leaves no room for the skeptic to stand
on:

MINISTER RESIDENT SHIMAMUR
INTERVIEWED
The japanese Envoy Visits the Ha-
waiian Minister of Foreign Affairs
Much Correspondence from Japan.

Minister Resident Shimamura made
Affairs Cooper at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. The usual military guard was
accorded the Minister, who remained
at the Executive building but a brief
time.
Whether or not Japan's Minister
filed any further papers pertaining
to the differences existing between the
two countries or gave notice of his
intention of doing SO, is not known
for certain. Minister Cooper says not,
while Minister Shimamura, in refus-
ing to answer the question because it
was of diplomatic nature, created
the impression that he left some docu-
ments at the Foreign Office.
The Coptic brought considerable
correspondence to the Japanese Lega-
tion from Japan's highest authorities
on the immigration controversy. The
Minister explained thai he could give
nothing out for publication.
The following paragraph printed in
the Japan Gazette was shown Mr..
Shmamura:
"a telegram from Hawaii states
that as soon as the Japanese cruiser
Naniwa arrived at Honolulu on the
5th inst. the United States Charge d
Affaires at that port wrote to the Com.
mander of the warship asking for an
explanation as to the object of the
/ Naniwa's mission. Mr.. Shimamura
| the Minister Resident, has replied to
| the effect that she has been despatch
ed there for the purpose of protecting
the japanese in the island and that
he thought the step was inevitable un
der the circumstances"
"I don't know anything about it,
said the Minister, after reading it. ''
have received no such correspondence
Probably the post office people hav
made a mistake. and the letter will
turn up later"
1t is quite generally known that
second Japanese man-of-war is el
route to Honolulu. A rumor is afoa
today that third boat is coming
The information is said to have EN-
anated from high officer on boart
the Naniwa.

Accident to Freight Train at Pearl
City This Engineer Cot
trelrs Narrow Escape.

The engine attached to freight
train No. 1, leaving Honolulu at $3.50
this morning, was overturned on the
siding at Pearl City about 7:15 o'clock.
and Fireman Fred Toms injured. En-
gineer Cottrell had narrow escape,
but got out without scratch. For
tunately none of the cars left the
track, so that traffic was not delayed,
and the regular passenger train, leav-
ing here at 0:15 a. m, was able to get
through on time.
The accident occurred, according to
General Passenger Agent Smith, as
the train was going into a siding at
Pearl City. at a slow rate of speed.
In some unexplained manner the en-
gine left the track, and after running
short distance, turned over on the
makai side. The engineer climbed
out of the window on his side. The
Fireman was taken out badly bruised
up. but it is believed, not seriously in
iured. The doctor from Eva Planta-
tion was summoned by telephone, and
attended him. He found Toms badly
bruised but no bones broken or any
evidence of internal injury. The fire
man was brought back to town in 2
special train and had sufficiently re
covered on it's arrival to walk, with {
little assistance, to a carriage, ir
which he was conveyed to the hospi
tai. AT last accounts he was feeling
very much better.
| The work of clearing and repairing
| the track was commenced at once, ant
completed before the arrival of th'

THAT "GOUGING" AFFAIR"
Marshal Brown Has No Fault to Find
With His Officers.

James Herrickson, sailor, and j.
johnson, an employee of the Honolulu
Iron Works, were before the Police
Court this morning, the former charg
Kekai, and the latter with interfer' 'ng
with the same officer in the discharge
of his duty. Both cases grew out of
the arrest of Herrickson for drunken
ness on Saturday afternoon. As t"e
affair was exploited in the morning
paper in a way that reflects seriously
upon Kekai and two other officers,
when Herrickson wanted to plead
guilty this morning, Marshal Brown
asked him to change his plea, that the
true facts of the case could be laid be-
fore the Court This the sailor did,
and his trial and that of Johnson were
set for Thursday.
Marshal Brown stated this morning
that he had investigated the affair,
and was satisfied that the officers had
Kekai and Patrolman Jones arrested
the sailor and were escorting him to
the station when he turned on Kekai
and struck him in the face, infiicting
cut over the left eye. The officer
then pinioned his arms. johnson
jumped out of hack and seized Ke-
kai by the collar. The Lieutenant ar
ton. The receiving clerk from the
station happened along and gave
Jones a hand to land Herrickson in
Jail. Herrickson denies that there
was any 'gouging." or that he was
treated more roughly than he de-
served.
