LABoRERs WERE JOLLY.

Monday night was a jolly one for the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad laborers in
this section. The day was the regular
pay day and they were made doubly
happy on account of the fact that their
money was not burnt up in the Balti-
more confagration. Many of them spent
the better part of the afternoon and
night in the city having a quiet social
time as they termed it and incidentally
they enlivened business some.

HEALTH OF THE CITY
IT IS UNUSUALLY GOOD AT THIS
 TIME.
General Condition of the City Has Not Been Better in Years-Only
 Few Colds.

Many citizens of this great Capital City of Alabama have bad colds. A little cal and precaution will cure them and they have no dangerous sig nificance in regard to the health of the city. It only means that a lot of peo- pie have been careless in exposing themselves to the recent change of balmy weather into damp cold winter days.
 The general health condition of Montgomery has not been better in years" said Chief Clerk J. J. Farley of the Sanitary Department yesterday, and he is in a position to know what he is talking about, for the health of- ficers of the city are constantly on the lookout for sickness, and their reports are made to him. AS there Is no pest house now" he continued, there are no cases of smallpox in 1t and only three cases of the disease are in Montgom- cry now. The patients live in different parts of The city and are confined and
 isolated in their homes and the houses are placarded with the smallpox sign. Only two cases of diphtheria are in existence in town and both of the pa- tients are improving rapidly. Two of the smallpox patients and one of the diphtheria patients are white persons, the others negroes. One case of measles and several cases of humps among school children complete the sick list and I think It Is a small one for the size and population of Montgomery.
 "Mumps is not regarded as a serious disease by the City Physician and the Sanitary Department, and the houses in which there are cases are not even placarded. The most important effect of this disease among children is that the children of the house are not all lowed to attend school for three weeks after the illness of the patient.
 Chief Clerk Farley declared that there were no cases of scarlet fever in Montgomery and that so far as he knew there were no cases of typhoid fever. Both of these diseases are watched with close scrutiny by the health officers and the Department fumigates the premises of a case after a patients recovery ;. No occasion has been had in five weeks to fumigate q house infected by either of these maladies--a statement In it. self that speaks remarkably in the in terest of the healthful state of Mont gomery's people,
 When the new Emergency Hospital which is now in course of construction on the Lower Wetumpka Road about a mile from the city is completed Mont gomery will have one of the best equipped and most modern hospitals in the South for treating contagious and infectious diseases whenever they do make their appearance, and be a safe guard against contagion to its general ly healthy citizenship.

"My baby was about six weeks old when the top of her head became cov- cred with thick scales, which would peel and, come of. taking the hair with it.

Me- Donnell at once went into the yard, examined the pile of wood and found a dozen pieces with plugs in the ends Several of these were split open and in each was found a cartridge, similar to the one discovered by the wood chop per.
 MT. Mcdonnell at once recalled the fact that a load of this wood had been hauled to the house of his sister and he hastened there and warned her not to use the wood
 This morning he came to the city. as Is his wont. he having a vegetable stall in the market and sought out the coun- ty solicitor. He brought along a dozen prices of timber. each. with a neat plug in one end. Sometof these were open ed and showed to <he solicitor and Judge Semmes. MT. Mcdonnell was then asked If he had any idea who the perpetrator of the would-be outrage was and he told the story that his father owned n piece of land directly to the rear of his home. After his parents died he continued to pay the tax on this land.
 John McArthur, a ship carpenter, claimed the land. The two had several consultations as to the ownership. Both employed attorneys. Mcdonnell, a couple of weeks ago, sent negro on the land to cut his winter wood. Satur- day the wood was hauled to the house. Yesterday evening the discovery, told above, was made.
 He was positive, that the neat work of boring into the wood, inserting of the cartridges and the subsequent plug ging of the wood was at the hands of an expert woodworkman.
 Mir. Mcdonnell was advised to go be- fore the Judge of the Inferior Criminal Court and swear out a warrant against McArthur. charging violation of Section 4346 of the Code of Alabama. This MT. Mcdonnell did.
 MT. Mcdonald went before Judge Al ford in the Inferior Criminal Court and swore out warrants for John McArthur, white ship carpenter and Ransom Williams. negro. The warrent charges the two with having inserted cartridges in flrewood with intent to murder. Mcdonald stated to The Advertiser reporter that McArthur and he had controversy over certain lands to the rear of his home and which, Me Donald claimed had been in his family's possession before he was born.
 He has cause, said MT. Mcdonald, to Judge Afford to believe that the parties named in the affidavit, inserted the cartridges in the pieces of wood. The discovery created much excitement in the city.
