MADE INVESTIGATION.
Chairman Parker, Of the Board Of

From Fridays Daily Gazette.

Chairman Parker, Of the Board OF
Health Investigates Scarlet Fever.
From Fridays Daily Gazette.
Chairman Parker, of the board of
county commissioners and chairman
of the county board of health, made
an investigation last evening among
the doctors as to the condition in the
town relative to the scarlet fever
cases. All the practicing physicians
in the city, with one exception, were
interviewed by Mr.. Parker and a state
ment was received from each. DR..
Rinehart, who is physician to the
board of health, reported that he was
attending l3 cases and all the others
seen by Mr.. Parker stated that they
had no cases to report. DR.. Armstrong
could not be found by Mr.. Parker.
Relative to the matter of closing
the schools, on account of the pre-
valence of the disease in the city, Mr..
Parker said that the board Of health
did not desire to take that step unless
it was deemed absolutely necessary.
He did not think it essential at this
time, but said that the board would
keep in close touch with the board of
education and do that which seemed
to be for the best. Mr.. Parker also
stated that quarantine regulations
would be strictly observed at the
homes where cases exist.
In the matter of taking all the pre-
caution possible at the schools, Mr..
Mills, of the board of education, said
that fumigation of the school build
ings was a matter that the board was
having done two and three times a
week. 1t was his opinion if the
schools were ordered closed two
weeks, or until such time when the
disease had been stamped out, the
term might just as we'll terminate
now. He said that there are but five
more weeks in the present school year,
and to open up after closing for two
weeks, or MORE, would be a decided
disadvantage to the pupils, and entail
a heavy expense upon the district,
If it is found necessary to close the
schools it will likely be for good, as
far as this years term is concerned,

RET|RES FROM JUDICIARY
JUDGE KELLEY RESIGNS FROM in
TER.NATIONAL COURT.
Was Appointed by President c'eve-
Iand-There Will Be Many Az.
plicants for the Place.

New York, April 1.-THE news was
received in this city yesterday that
Chief Justice A. M. Kelley, Of the in
ter-national court at Cairo, Egypt, had
resigned his position. This resignation
was rendered to the khedive of Egypt,
who has notified this government OF
the fact.
The vacancy is to be filed by Pres
ident Roosevelt, and as the position is
regarded as a most desirable one, it
is expected there will be many appli-
cants as soon as the fact becomes
known. The resignation Of MI. Kelley
is understood to have been due to the
death of his wife.
Anthony M. Kelley first came into
national prominence through his nom
ination by President Cleveland in 1885
as envoy extraordinary ard minister
plenipotentiary to Italy.
For IL years Mr.. Kelley was presi-
dent of the National Irish Catholic
Benevolent union. He p%rofessed the
| Catholic faith. Between Mr.. Kelley and
| Cardinal Gibbons there has existed a
warm personal friendship. He did
not let his religion stand between
him and his happiness when he fell
in love with a young woman who was
a Jewess. They we're married, and
their welded life was one of unbrok'
en- affection.
Mr.. Keiley's appointment as minis
ter to Italy was Cancelled on account
of objections of the Italian govern
ment. He was then accredited by
President Cleveland as minister tc
Vienna. The Austrian government also
objected. Secretary Bayard went sc
far as to say the appointment would be
allowed to stand even though it re
suited in cessation of diplomatic re
lations between the United States ant
Austria. To relieve the administra
ton of President Cleveland of fruthe1
embarrassment Mr. Kelley resigned.
He was later appointed by Presiden
Cleveland to the International cour
at Cairo and has served in that cour
continuously since that time.

Engineer Ensign's Opinion Of "cut-
off" and Other Matters. Y

Off and Other Matters. Y
From Fridays Daily Gazette.
With the caution characteristic of
men in his position and the reticence
for which they are noted, Chief En-
gineer Ensign of the Burlington, who
accompanied Colonel Rowley OF a
prospecting trip over the line yester-
day, was guarded in his remarks con-
corning the probable outcome Of the
consideration of building what is
known as the CUTOFF between this
city and the Toluca-Cody branch. He
did say, however, that the route was
entirely feasible, although the expense
of construction would be great because
of the topography of the country that
would have to be traversed.
Should the line be built it will UNI
doubtedly tap the branch at or near
Pryor, and will also involve another
change of material interest to Billings.
Construction of the "cut-off" will be
followed by the continuation of. the
line into this city and abandonment of
the use of the Northern Pacific track
between Billings and Huntley, thus
giving the city the benefit of being a
main line point.
While Mr.. Ensign would not declare
positively that the change will be
made within any specified time, he
intimated that it was quite likely
that something would be done. He
also spoke of the proposed Billings
& Northern and said that if built, the
line would have it's start in this city,
as the surveys made by the Burlington
had demonstrated the feasibility of
a line of road along the route Of the
original survey, and that as far as
physical difficulties were concerned,
the so-called "Huntley' route had no
advantages over the other. When
built, he said, the Billings & Northern
would make it's egress from the valley
at Alkali creek and would be a contin-
uation of the Burlington's tracks as
they now are laid at that company's
local stockyards.
The surveys made by the company
during the winter months have deter
mined the route the line will follow
and all that remains to be done before
actual construction can be undertaken
is cross-sectioning, as the locating
survey has been completed. Maps and
p%rotiles of the survey have been made
and are now on file in the engineers
Office and a very good idea has been
formed as to the probable cost of the
road. 81
Mr.. Ensign, accompanied by the
Burlington's right-of-way man, left
this morning for a trip over the line
of the proposed Billings & Northern.
| What the nature of their visit is can
only be %conjectured, but it is safe
to assum that it has some other OBJ.
ject in view than a mere pleasure
jaunt.

the left fielder, but a player once dis qualified cannot play with any team under the national agreement without first paying over S60O to the team by whom he is disqualified.
 All hats off to the new captain of the Waterbury team and certainly there is no player on the team who
 deserves that honor better than the
 man who has been appoipted. Peter kiernan is the man. As told in these columns the other day Ned Slater re-
 fused to assume the responsibility of
 the position and the choice fell to old reliable Peter ISiernan. Peter will
 have the fullest confidence of the play CTS, for he is the most popular man
 on the team, and from now on Water
 bury expects to get out of the rut into which it has fallen. The game yes terday in Hartford was the first one played under the new captain and it was q hummer, although Waterbury
 did lose.

Michigan Democrats Nominate.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 1.--Judge George II. Durand of Flint, who filled vacancy on the supreme bench of this state in 1892 and who is classed as Gold Democrat, has been nominated for the governorship by the Democrats of Michigan Judge Durand did not attend the convention nor authorize any one to state that he would accept the nomination if it should be accorded him. The free silver element made a vigorous fight to defeat him. Judge Durand, it was stated, was on fishing expedition in the northern part of the state and could not be reached by wire, but in spite of the absence of any defi- nite assurance of his acceptance his nomination was made unanimous after the fourth ballot. The platform adopted at yeskerday mornings session of the convention is devoted almost entirely to state issues, the only mention of na- fional issues being an indorsement of the election of United States senators directly by the people.

sCHICK's ELIGIBILITY. New England Association States liar a ward Athlete Did Not Compete.

New Haven, Aug. 1.--It was stated here last night concerning Yale's pro test against William A Schick, IT., the Harvard runner in the last intercollegi- ate track meet in New York, that the registration committee of the New England Association of the Amateur Athlete union has decided that the games at Springfield, Mass, in which Schick competed were closed games. The committee will issue a signed statement to that effect, and it will be presented at the next meeting of the executive committee of the Inter collegiate association. Thomas E. Ri- ley of the Cambridgeport Gymnasium association, who was member of the New England "A. A. U. Committee when the sanction was granted for the games in which Schick competed and Which Yale declares were '0pen," says re- garding the situation:
 ssThe committee has always under stood that the diocesan games were sclosed;;' that is, no athlete other than a member of the Diocesan union could compete under any circumstances whatever.
 ssI have talked with several members of the committee ands9we are of the opinion that the gamesfin which Schick competed were 'closed;' therefore he could Justly be declared eligible. As Gould of Yale offered for evidence the blank which he declared called for sopen games. Yale will III all probability recognize the signed statement of the New England A. A. U. officials as the most legitimate proof of Shlck's eligi- bility.''
 Tie executive committee of the Tn, l tercollegiate association has held one meeting on the Schick case, but could not decide 1t postponing 1t for further consideration until September or early l in October Harvard's lead in points over Yale was so small that if Schick is declared ineligible the intercollegiate championship will go to Yale.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 1 There is a home in Shore View park, Jamaica, i'll the borough of Queens, where nearly all the household worli is done bysselec- tricity. Edward B. Wilton, asretired hardware dealer and an inventor, occu- pies the home, and it. was his cunning hand that devised and set in operation the many electrical appliances that evoke both the admiration and awe Of his neighbors.
 His meals are cooked by electricity, his baby is rocked by electricity, his rooms are swept and dusted by electric ity, his doors are opened and shut by electricity, his house and grounds are lighted by electricity, the opening and closingroa his front gate are controlled by an electric button in the house, and telephones are in all the rooms and connected with his stable, where his horses are curried by electricity There is an electric spanker, to which the youngsters are at times introduced, and even the movements of flock of pet pigeons belonging to one of the boys are controlled by electricity, for the doors of the pigeon house are opened and closed by a current, while cleo frical mosquito exterminators guard the windows and doors. <,
 After the family has retired for the ] night an electrical burglar alarm is set, and no one could surreptitiously enter l or leave the house or grounds without setting in motion hundred and one different devices, ringing the electric alarms, lighting up the house and grounds, tumbling everybody out of bed, starting the cradle going and sounding an alarm in the police station and the nearest firehouse.

 the Legal Proceedings.

Minority Stockholders Take Hand in
 the Legal Proceedings.
 Baltimore, August 1.-The affairs of the Baltimore Baseball and Athletic company took still another turn yes terday morning, when Olin Bryan and Martin Lehmayer, representing the mi nority stockholders in the company, filed a petition in circuit court No 2 asking that they be made party de- fendant to the bill filed by the same company against President Ban B. Johnson on Monday last by ~lorney Conway w. Sans, who is supposed to represent the majority stockholders. The bill filed yesterday morning asks that the bill against President Johnson be dismissed, as the appointment of a receiver for the company would be in- furious to their interests. 1t is stated that the minority stockholders repre- sent 161 shares of stock. They allege that since July there has been no meeting of the directors, of which they were aware, and that the action re- questing the filing of the other bill of complaint was without their authority and was solely the action of one Frank J. Murphy, director of the company, which act, it is charged, cannot be considered as the action of the com pany It is further alleged that the majority stockholders attempted to wreck the company by refusing to al low its baseball team to play q sched- uled game on July IT last and by per- mitting the disbanding of the team and the release of certain members, which, it is alleged, could only have been done by MT Johnson, president of the league.
 1t is further stated that the neglect to play the scheduled game forfeited the franchise of the club under the agreement by which it was taken into thef American league. The bill goes on to declare that the majority of the stock of the baseball company is held by. one individual unknown to them, although the assignment has not ac- tually been made on the books of the company, and it is also stated that the president of the company and three of the directors, who held . part of the majority Of the stock, which was; in- cluded in POI shares, do notfno hold a single share of stock.

 and Postmaster General Payne.
 OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. L. Among the visitors who appeared at Sagamore Hill yesterday were Post master General Henry c. Payne and George R. Sheldon, a well known New York banker and personm friend of the president; Governor William H. Hunt And Attorney General Harlan of Porto Rico, the latter a son of Mir. Justice Harlan of the United States supreme court.
 During the afternoon the president and Postmaster General Payne, after considering some matters relating to the postoffice department, discussed the Wisconsin political situation.
 Governor Hunt and Attorney General Harlan discussed with the president and Postmaster General Payne the sit uation in Porto Rico, the governor re- viewing at some length the important features of his administration and out lining the present conditions in the is land. He became almost enthusiastic over the prospects of the island and it's people He told the president that the Porto Ricans, having already improved their condition by the alliance of the island with the United States, were anxious to establish yet closer rela- tons, particularly in commercial mat ters. The trade of the island, he thought, would bear careful cultivation by American manufacturers and busi- ness men, the result of which would be advantageous to the people of both the United States and it's island possession
 President Roosevelt indicated force fully his interest in Porto Rico and ex- pressed great confidence in it's future as a most desirable acquisition to this country.
 No formal dinner guests were enter tained at Sagamore Hill last night. Serious trouble has developed on the Mayflower, the presidents official yacht. During the past few days nine assertions have occurred among the crew. A member of the crew said that not less than seventy men on board the ship were awaiting favorable oppor- tunity after pay day to take French leave" of the vessel. Primarily the trouble seems to revolve around the ex- ecutive officer of the ship. Lieutenant W. W. Phelps, who, the men assert, is overbearing and tyrannicaL 0rdi- nary privileges, is alleged, have been curtailed seriously < '
