NO NEW TRUSTEES.
Gov. VOORHEES, Has Not Yet
Appointed the Indus
trial School Board.
Especial to THE Jersey city News.'l

TRENTON, Sept. IS, lS99.-Goyernor
Voorhees, had a busy time yesterday. u
was his first appearance at the Capltoi
in two weeks. He announced that no aps-
pointments to the vacancies in the Board
of Managers of the Girls Industrial
School would be made, owing to the TACT
that he a not yet received answers
from some Of the men to whom ne mas
offered the places.
In the meanwhile Managing Trustee +.
r. Cook. the sole survivor of the old
board. is looking after the conduct OF the
school,.
Cook finds 1t easy to get along without
money, but the officers of the school VINO
have not received any pay since July,
are beginning to wish that the Governor
would appoint a new board SO hat a
treasurer may be elected. They 90 MOI
find it so easy to get along on credit.
No appointment is to be made to the
vacancy caused by the death Of Colonel
Cyrus F. Loutrel. who was an assistant
to the Quartermaster General. There are
numerous applicants for the place. but as
it is expected that at the next session OF
the LEGISLATURE the National Guard law
win be amended so as to greatly reduce
the STATS in some of the departments
there will be no appointment. for the in
term. The Q-uartermaster Generals
staff and the staff of the Inspector Cen
eral Of Rifle Practice are both regarded
hv the social committee on reorganization
of the National Guard as being top
heavy, and it is more than likely that
the heads of several colonies will fall
next winter.
The medals that are to be presented to
the Jerseymen who served as volunteers
in New Jersey organizations during the
Spanish-American war V been received
at the State House. and will be distrib-
uted as soon as a list of the command
ing officers of the various companies IS
made up. The medals will be sent to the
captains of the companies and they will
distribute them among the men. The
medals are quite large and OF considerable
weight, so that the soldiers will not be
apt to wear them except on special oc-
casionS.

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE
Hoboken Physicians Dispute
the Cause Of Typhoid.

AT a meeting of the Hoboken Board of
Health last night the Commissioners der
cided to discuss the question of a typhoid
epidemic in the town. DR.. Heller, presi-
dent of the Board. says that there is not,
and never has been, any danger Of an:
epidemic. People must he on their guard,
however, to prevent contracting the dis
ease.
Health Warden Cunnelly said II cases
had been reported since August ]. He
was unable to state the cause Of the dis
ease, but suggested that samples Of the
milk used by the stricken families pc
analysed with a view Of tracing the
source of the infection. He also said that
the sanitary condition of some OF the
houses was bad.
Doctors Heller and Steadman had quite
a discussion on the cause and cure of
the disease and the agents which were
most responsible for its spread. DR.. Hell
fer claimed that bad water is responsible
for all epedemics.
sPeople are coming back to the opinions
held by the medical profession of the last
generation he said, land if they only
take care that the drinking water is free
from contamination and the houses are
kept clear of sewer and other poisonous
gases there will be no danger
DR.. Steadman thought the blame could
not be laid on the water Many of those
who contracted the disease, had just re-
turned from their summer homes when
they were stricken. The water could not
have been the cause there. he said. Be-
sides a number of other municipalities
which use the same water as Hotboken
have not had a single case of the fever
this summer. His opinion was that If peo-
pie put the butter, milk and other eat
able where the typhoid germ can't reach
them and get its fine work in everything
will be all right.
A proposal to send a sample of Hobo
ken water to a chemist for analysis was
met by a objection from DR..
Heller.
doing what we can have done for nothing
at the State Laboratory at Princeton,
he said. 1t win be sent TO Princeton.
Health Warden Cunnelly reported so
cases of infectious diseases during August
against 20 during August, 1898. OF these
Il were diphtheria, IA typhoid, 2 membra-
nous Group and 2 scarlet fever.
Clerk Harron reported IS deaths during
the month against 106 for the correspond
ing month last year. This is a ratio OF
1890 per 1000 on an estimated population
of GA, 900.
