CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL SITE

Want 1t Situnted on Jewell
 Street Site i'm WestvilIe-Advocate Appear for Placing It at Sprfngside

l Farm. | The hearing last night before the spe- | cial committed of the court of common | council to hear arguments and sugges- 1 tions on the issuance of bonds for the proposed contagious disease hospital
 was not adjourned until 11:30, and be- fore that had been reached the hearing had resolved itself into somewhat of a, farce There were about forty people
 present and among them were physi-
 clans and members of the board of
 health
 There were arguments from pr. c. A.
 Lindsley, Professor Brewer pr. Car
 malt, pr. Eliot, Dr. Stetson, ,Dr. Moul-
 throp and Dr. Fleischner. All these
 gentlemen threshed out the question
 from beginning to end and stated in-
 numerable reasons for the location of
 the hospital anywhere but at Spring.
 side. The opposition was represented
 by three people only Alderman Alcorn, ex-Alderman Miller and Charles Gay
 being the upholders of the Springside site
 Throughout the hearing there were statements on both sides that the oppo- nents took exceptions to, and there were several times that insults were passed, and for a time it looked as though some one would be invited out. Charles Gay practically led the opposi tion to the physicialgs, or in other +ha site. He continually interrupted other speakers, and the meeting was more of a go-as-you- please talking bee than a. parliamentary meeting.
 Moritz Spier, former superintendent of the Springside home spoke against locating the hospital on that site, and clearly defined the objection. He stated that there was a thoroughly equipped hospital there now, but people will not go to it because it is associated with the name of the town farm. During MT. Spier's remarks there was a little tilt between himself and MT. Gay. The lat ter asked MT. Spier if he would answer q question, and MT. Spier retorted: You are not worth answering. The only way to treat you is to howl you down as they did in Music hall few months ago, and I'm going to howl you down now
 Everybody was on his feet in an in- stant, but the ruffle passed over. The entire meeting, however, reminded one of sitting on a barrel of gunpowder smoking a cigarette, and it seemed to De the court of common council arrayed | against the board of health.

4 SAD ACCIDENT
To Everett E. Blake, of North Nladison
 Last Evening.

| Last Evening. T !. A sad accident happened in Madison early last evening. Everett B. Blake. : merchant of North Madison, was on the train returning from Mantle. due at Madison at 6:52 The train slowed
 up when nearly the Madison depot on
 account of the track there being newly ballasted with stone. The train then started up again little and Mr Blake, thinking that as the train was late 1t was not going to come to a full stop,
 jumped off. In jumping he struck
 against something which threw him
 back toward the track and the cars
 ran over his leg at the ankle. A crowd
 of people gathered, and Dr. Burroughs
 of Madison was summoned and at the
 request of prominent citizens, friends
 of MT. Blake, the train was held until
 MT. Blake could be put on board th8
 train. A stretcher was obtained, or inn provised, and MT. Blake was put on the
 train, and at his request pr. Burroughs
 very kindly accompanied him to New
 Haven, and to the hospital. At the station here the hospital anbulance
 was obtained and conveyed MT. Blake
 to the hospital, where later his leg was amputated below the knee. MT. Blake stood the operation well and the l1os- pitaI authorities think that he will re- cover. MT. Blake is forty-flve years of age and unmarried. He has a brother in this city, Edson Blake, residing at 127 Ashmun street The train on which he came was half an hour late at Mad- 1son and was delayed half hour by the accident, arriving here an hour late.

Will Pay His Fine.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 16.-The h. dianapolis friends of Edward P Thompson, former postmaster here and at Havana, Cuba, say they will pay his fine of $400 rather than see him sent to prison. His friends there have been in communication with other friends in Cuba for several months and say that whatever aid he may need will be given him. at least temporarily.
 The impression here is that Thomp- sons fine was intended by the govern ment to be an object lesson to postmas- ters of Cuba as much as punishment for him and that the fine will be re- mitted and he will be assisted to return home.
