There is contagious disease in the low

Whereas, il appears to the board of
health of the town OF Saianston, W. Va,
that an infections and contagious disease
is raging in Enterprise and viropa. Il is
therefore ordered that strict quaran-
tine be established against said towns
of Enterprise and virope. All persons

are hereby notified to not enter the said
town of shinnston, w. Va, under the
penalty of the law in such cases made
and provided. All persons coming from
either of the above named places will be
required to procure a certificate from a

that they have not been exposed to nor

ing to assume responsibility for the de-
partment. He then called attention to
the fact that the committee had made
report to the council with recommen.
dations.
The mayor then stated that the chief
had rendered his resignation to him YER
bally and that he had accepted it SO far
as was in his power.
At the request of Councilman Kelley,
the rules and regulations governing the
department were read. The mayor
thought they were very good: but could
be improved ON some, and he informed
the body that he had in course of prep
aration set of new rules and regula-
tons, which, in the near future, he would
submit to the council.
The committees report was then read.
1t recommended that Ernest Steel be
elected chief, he being the only applicant
for that position, and Burr w. WEIGH and
John T. Gill fremen. The personnel
of the candidates was discussed and then
the committees recommendations were
adopted as whole. In this connection
it was the sense of the council that so.
briefly must be observed by the mem.
bers of the department.
The mayor wanted to know the sense
of the council in the matter of handling
crowds at fire, but there was no voice
in this respect and nothing was done.
The Thompson incident then ensued.
with the results already mentioned.
All the members of the council were
present, except Councilmen aIcAndrcw
and Law.

instance of George Washington Jones,
a colored janitor in the Metropolitan
Opera house block, who said the pris-
oner had been found asleep in one of
the halls on the top floor of the build
ing. The prisoner asked permission Of
the court to explain the situation,
which he said was a scheme on the
part of his rival to get him out of the
way. e.
"The whole trouble is over a girl,
judge said the prisoner. THAT jani-
tor had a girl and got her away from
him, and he's been mad about it ever
since. He run across me in the build
ing yesterday and had me arrested for
vagrancy. He thinks if I am sent to
the workhouse he will have a chance
to get that girl again, but he'll get
fooled when he tries it."
Judge Finehout decided to allow the
rivals to fight it out on fair terms and
gave the prisoner his freedom.
