FORES7YILL,S EPIDENTC.
Dr. L.ndsley Reports Results or Dr.. smtth,s InvesttEation.

preliminary report on the epidemic
 of typhoid fever in Forestvile was is- sued yesterday afternoon by Dr. c. A.
 Lindsley, secretary of the state board of health, giving an account of the in- vestigations thus far made by Professor H. E. Smith, the chemist of the board
 In concluding the report says Some further details of the spread of the dis ease are yet to be learned before Dr.
 Smith can complete his report. But enough has been found to fix with cer- tainty the source of infection. The wa ter supply common to all the patients is a spring from which the water Is pump- ed and distributed to the people of the village. A small river separates the spring from the pumping station, and two supply pipes are laid in the river, through which the pump draws the wa ter to discharge through the distribut- ing pipes. On examination pr. Smith found that one of these supply pipes had been accidentally broken quite in two, so that the water pumped through it was wholly river water. In conse- quence of this the pump was delivering to the distributing pipes a mixture of spring and river water. Blood samples taken from the patients responded to the Wilda test and proved beyond doubt that typhoid existed. Reports of thirty five cases, six of which were fatal, have been received at this date"

FOB THEFT OF 4 RING.
Livoryman Jnmes Ferguson Arrested
 Yesterday.

James Ferguson, the Crown street liveryman, was arrested yesterday af- ternoon by Detective Donnelly, on the charge of theft of a ring belonging to a woman named Irene M Davenport of Derby. It seems that last September the woman was in New Haven and en-
 gagged hackman to take her to road
 house near Derby, known as "The Pink
 House, where she then resided. After arriving at the house she told the hack
 man that she had no money, but gave him a ring as security for his fare. Later she wrote to Detective Donnelly to get the ring for her. Ferguson advanced $3 to redeem the ring which Donnelly took to keep for the woman. In Mo- vember Ferguson went to Donnelly with letter purporting to be signed by the Davenport woman, and authorizing Donnelly to give the ring to him. The ring was turned over to Ferguson, and yesterday the woman came to New Ha- ven and demanded the ring from him. He refused to give it up unless she gave him $S. This she refused to do, and secured warrant for his arrest on the charge of theft. She denies that she wrote the letter authorizing him to get the ring. Ferguson was released under $500 bonds.

Speeches were made at the meeting by several of those present, and the name of Bryan was re- ceived with exclamation. It was decid- ed to secure some prominent democrat to address the club some time in the near future. The next meeting will be called by the executive committee,

Oni m p,unh.

Chicago, May 14.-The Methodist Episcopal general conference committed on temperance, of which Samuel Dickie of Michigan is chairman, and of which Congressman M. H. Johnson of North Dakota, author and champion of the anti-canteen law Is member, adopted resolutions to-day which in the minds of a number of the committeeman, is a direct slap at President Mckinley be- cause of his acquieScence in the decision of Attorney General Griggs declaring the law ineffective.
 The resolutions are a portion of the report of a subcommittee into whose hands the task of preparing the com mittee report to the general conference had been placed and which was adopt ed in the face of a motion to substitute for it a minority report after a two hours debate, in which the members al- ternately arraigned and championed President Mckinley in his stand on the anti-canteen law
 After stormy session, the commit tee on Episcopacy to-day decided to recommend to the general conference that t@o new bishops be elected to pro- vide for possible deaths on the board during the next four years. The body voted down a report in favor of peti tioning the conference to elect a col ored bishop. The committee will re- port a revised version of the declara- tion adopted by the conference in 1s96., recognizing the qualifications of colored men to fill the office and admitting the need of a colored leader among the ne- groes in the south. The result Is taken as defeat of the movement to secure the election of a colored man as bishop at this convention.
 By a vote of S2 to 21 the committee on itinerancy to-day decided to present q report favoring the abolition of the time limit for preachers now in force.
