AS was to he expected one Of tbs frs,
moves made by the mayor during tive
present term was to renominate the
present superintendent of streets at last
nights session of the aldermen. As was
also to be expected the nomination was
rejected by the smoke takers. Why
the appointment was made only the
man who made it can answer. Certain
ly the wretched CONDITION of our streets
during the last twelve months must
have made it obvious that change in
the position was necessary. Why not
select man for the position who has a
scientific knowledge of road building ?
Let the taxpayers see that you have the
proper backbone in all these appoint
ments, Mr.. Mayor. Above all, give Us
! capable superintendent of streets.

TIE WINDSOR HOTEL FIRE.
HeHth List Now Numbers II. ana 81
People Are Missing.

ienth List Now Numbers II, ana 81
People Are Missing.
New York, March 22.-Fourteen dead
End 81 missing Is the roll of the Wind
tor hotel horror. The thousands of tons
| of steaming brick, iron and charred
woodwork have given up four bodies,
mangled and unacceptable. to reward
the three days toll Of several hundred
men.
All Of the bodies have been found In
the cafe end of the hotel. The first two
were but human fragments, and at the
morgue they lie labeled Nos. l and re-
| spectively. In all likelihood no one will
ever claim them.
Body No. 8 was discovered in the cafe
end, and 1t was evidently the remains
of young woman. Shreds Of clothing
still chung to the charred trunk, but no
one can tell the color Of the cloth or its
quality.
The fourth body taken from the ruins
of the Windsor hotel has been identified
as that of Miss Dora Hoffman of Balti-
more, who occupied room 545, on the
fifth floor. She was 81 years old and
was stopping at the hotel with her two
neces, who escaped.
The Identification was the result of
peculiar detective work. Miss Hoffman's
relatives. when they realized that she
was lost, sent to the Heidelberg de-
tective agency a minute chart Of Miss
Hoffman's jaws and the work of the
dentist therein. This chart was given
to Detective Miller, who has watched
the search for bodies in the ruins. Mill
Ter went to the morgue with the chart,
where he made a long and careful ex-
animation. On the way to the dead
house six of the upper teeth were shak-
en- out. but the sound one that remained
told great deal.
Miller found that all Of the dental
work tailed exactly with that laid out
on the chart The sound upper tooth
that remained was so designated.
Fire Marshal Peter Seery will begin
the taking of testimony in his investi-
cation of the mysterious cause of the
fire at once. He has subppnaed every
hotel employee whose name
he could secure. Four deputy fire
spent the day In interview
Ing the men. Simeon Leland, Warren
personal representative, VIII
be the chief witness.

Dr.. CTIlFORD'S TRIAL.
Woman Accused of Emma Gill's Muir
der Faces a Jury.
COLLAPSED IN THE COURT.
Still! Weak From the Illness Which
Had Before Caused Postpone
ments Of the Trial-Her
DAUGHTER With Her.

! Bridgeport, Conn, March o. - DR.
Nancy A. Guilford, the midwife. has
been placed on trial before Judge
George w. Wheeler and Jury OF the
superior court on a charge alleging Sec
ond degree murder in the killing by q
criminal operation of Miss Emma Gill
of Southngton.
The accused was accompanied TO
court by her daughter, Eudora Guilford'
who took a seat in the courtroom near
her mother. Mrs. Gulford was appar-
emily very weak, and to the spectators
it seemed to be evident that the woman
had unquestionably been very III. Her
face was pale and haggard. She moved
slowly and sank into her chair as II eX-
hausted.
The spectators We're not numerous,
the previous postponements of the trial
on account of the illness of the prisoner
having given rise to the belief that the
proceedings would be again postponed.
The central figures in the courtroom
aside from DR.. Guilford were Judge
Wheeler, the trial Judge; State Attor-
ney Samuel Fessenden of Stamford and
Attorney J. b. Klein of Bridgeport,
counsel for the accused. In addition to
the regular panel of IS talesmen there
was a special panel of 40.
The usual preliminaries of an impor-
tant murder trial We're not necessary in
the PROCEEDINGS in view Of the fact that
al the January term of the court this
prisoner had been put to plea on the in
dictment. Accordingly matters took on
nd
the prosecution was instructed by the
court to proceed.
Collapse Feared.
Meanwhile Eudora Guilford, daughter
of the accused. watched her mother
very closely and gave evidence of fears
that the prisoner might collapse. None
of the important witnesses was present.
Harry OXley and the other Southington
witness, it IS said, having been suhpn-
naed for Wednesday. Oxley, however,
appeared before the court adjourned.
The work of selecting the jury now
began. During the examination of
juror Mrs. Gulford gave signs of COL
lapse. DR.. Banks had been watching
the woman closely and, noticing that
her face was becoming ashen gray.
sprang to her side and felt her pulse
and, motionng to Sheriff Hawley, half
carried the prisoner to another room.
judge Wheeler Immediately declared a
recess of ten minutes. At the end of
that time Mrs. Guilford was brought
hack to the courtroom, and the pro-
ceedings continued.
The following jurors were obtained |
before recess was again taken Sam

will, it is hoped, tend to promote
the proper medical treatment of

Under clause a of this Bill, UNI
like section A of Ordinance 9 of
1894, it is not necessary to prove
to the Magistrate that the brothel
is nuisance to the neighborhood.
Clause 5 imposes penalty upon
the owner of any premises, which
are found to be again in use as a
brothel, after having been closed
under clause A.
Clause 6 gives to the Police and
to the Registrar Generals offices
extended powers of visitation and

purposes of this Ordinance.
Clause z reproduces the provi-
sions of "The English Vagrant
Act, $685." with an added power
of Punishment. The class of per-

in this colony.
