Engineers Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company were in this city

there Is nothing IN IT,
Typhoid Is not a contagious malady.
as many suppose but is brought about
by certain conditions which exist I'm GER
tain localities. Impure water, impure
milk and carelessness as to sanitary
conditions are greatly responsible for
the prevalence OF the malady. Yod
can't convince some people Of the neA
cessity Of drinking pure water and
keeping themselves and their surround
ings clean. When they become IN they
wonder at the cause"
"Diphtheria, also. has a hold upon a
number Of people I'm the lower part Of

Of this disease is that many people

WAS ROBBED OF ste5.

Andrew ]. Barry who runs a place
in Exchange street, complained to the
police late Monday night that he had
been robbed of a purse containing S165.
Barry was by no means sober, and the
story which he told was so rambling
and disconnected that his hearers were
considerably mystifed as to what ac-
tually had occurred. The substance
of his story appeared to be that he
had been drinking at the Globe Hotel
early in the evening, and. on return
ing home, discovered that the purse had
been stolen
James McInnis Of pugilistic fame
was named as one of his companions.
and Mclnnis was taken to the station,
questioned and thoroughly searched.
There was little money on his person.
and in the opinion of the police there
was practically nothing on which to
hold him. So he was released, although
it is possible that he may be summon
ed today, if only as a witness. He
was furious at his arrest, and the
tongue lashing which he gave Barry
proved highly interesting to the re-
porters and others gathered in the
guard rooms

HAPPY PARTY IN
HAMMOND STREET.

BANGOR, Me, Sept 9.-Captain
BENJAMIN Sproul of the night watch.
while meditating on PoPs corner at an
early hour Sunday morning, was in
formed from headquarters that a vio-
lent social function was transpiring in
the three story building in Hammond
street next above the Y. M. c. A. He
proceeded with two parrolmen 10 the
scene without delay.
IL had been most certainly an up
roarous jollihcation, and the officers
found in the street one by the name
of Priscilla and one by the name Of
Bedilia, perfect ladies. maudlin, but
talking cheerfully about the pleasant
evening they had passed. They had
also been thrown out.
The officers proceeded upstairs and
found merry company assembled.
their spirits being somewhat broken at
the butting in of the unlimited guests.
No names were given but the general
spirit of the occasion was at once dub
bed John Alden-he who had been the
companion of Priscilla. The others
couldn't be named, and all insisted
they were regular boarders, aroused
from their legitimate slumber by the
fearful din.
Nobody had any complaints to make.
not even Priscilla and Bedilia who
were executing artistic and refreshing
dervish dance on the sidewalk.
They were happy and satisned-the
boarders were happy and satisfied
everybody was happy but the neigh
bors and they announce in unison that
they are going to get a warrant of
some kind against the place as nui-
sance. This isn't the first time the
police have been called there by any
means.
Priscilla was taken to the station
and locked up for safe keeping. She
was sull hard at work Sunday after
noon trying to write a message to Cap
tain Standish. She was also talking
about the Mayfower. None of the de-
scendants of that famous ship called
upon rer, rowever, in her distress.
Bedilia is still at large. She says
there is absolutely no truth in the re-
port that the song sung was named
iafter her.'
