Both the medical officer and the
surveyor of the Tarvin (Chester) rural
district council have condemned a cot
tage at Caldecott Green, near Farm
don, England, for demolition as in
sanitary. But the tenant, an old man,
appeared before the council and told
a remarkable story in stay of execu-
ton" He stated that he was 73 years
old, and lived in the cottage with his
wife and three children. For so years
there had not been a case of illness in
his family. His father and mother
lived in the cottage before him; his
father died at the age of SO and the
mother at SO. He did not think that
there could be much wrong with the
cottage in the face of these facts. In
reply to the clerk the old fellow said
that personally he had never had a
doctor, and the only time a medical
man had been in his cottage was when
his little son had scalded his leg.
Under the exceptional circumstances
the council decided to adjourn the
matter for further inquiries to- be
made.

Charleston. S. c.. April 19.-Three sepa-
rate and distinct earthquakes were felt in
the town of Summerville, twenty miles
from Charleston. at an early hour this
morning. vases being thrown from mantels
and dishes rafting in their closets. though
no ehimneys were thrown down and no
damage done.
Charleston also felt the quake, though
the shock in this city was not near so Sc
we're as in Summerville. and no damage
was done in Charleston. Only small
proportion OF the population felt the shock.
At Iceberg. a small village near Charles
ton. the shock was also felt. and il was
more severe there than in Charleston.
Quake's Roar Is Heard.
There are no instruments in the city for
the recording Of earthquakes, and for
that reason the extent of the u9heavai is
not known. There is no alarm among the
people of the city, and the wild reports
down and much damage wrought are alto
gether without foundation.
The quake at Summeryille was accom-
panied by the usual roar, and the waves
seemed TO move from southeast to north
west
Charleston was ruined by an earth
quake in August. 1856, and it is probable
that the desolation wrought on that oeca-
sion is responsible for the exaggerated
accounts which have been sent out over
the country.

New York. April 19.-The lOug-l0oked-
for shake-up In the police department
which was promised II the Bingham bill
became a law, took place to-day
Eight inspectors We're reduced and sent
10 the command of precincts, seven cap
tains were elevated 10 acting Inspector
ships and put in charge Of districts. and
the first Of q list Of transfers was made
in the detective bureau
Inspector William n. Mclaughlin, who
has been in charge Of the sleuths, was
reduced to a captaincy and transferred
TO the Westchester station, and 272 Of
his detective sergeants were made lieu
tenants and ordered 20 precincts for pa
troll duty.
A number OF patrolmen. who were de-
tailed to the bureau, were also routed and
sent to pound the walk Lieut. James
McCafferty. who, up to to-day, was de-
tective sergeant, was temporarily put in
command OF the bureau. and as he is
second on the eligible list for captain
il is likely that he viii be promoted with
in a day or two and Immediately made
an acting Inspector and given permanent
charge Of the sleuths
McCIusISy Also Reduced.
While the deposlng OF Mclaughlin was
the most sensational change of the day,
although it was not unexpected, the re-
duction Of Inspector George W. Me
Clusky caused the most comment. Ne
Clusky, who had charge Of the Second
inspection district was sent to the Ten
derloin section, d captain. and the know
ing ones said Il was fer the purpose OF
breaking him.
1t was reported that Mayor Mcclellan
and Senator Patrick McCarren did not
want MeClusky touched, but it was com
monty known for a long time that Com
missioner Bingham was after him and
that he would be one of the first rele-
gated to the rear.
While not the biggest shake-up in the
history of the department it is by far
the most important ever made, and all
former volcanoes that disrupted the force
IN days gone by faded into dim nslgnih-
ctnce. Commissioner Bingham received
an official copy Of the bill early in the
day. and. while he had his slate made up
he did not announce the transfers until
late in the afternoon.

Austin. April 19.-The annual eonven-
ton Of the Daughters Of the Texas Re
public. which net here to-day. broke up
il a row, the contention at the bottom OF
the disruption being whether the old walls
Of the Alamo, at San Antonio. should be
torn down and the site converted into a
park.
The president Of the organization, Mrs
Anson Jones. Of Houston. was unable 10
be present. and the iFst vice president.
Mrs Rebecca Fisher. Of Austin, called
the third vice president to the chair. The
faction who opposed the razing Of the
Alamo walls objected to any one but a
member Of their faction presiding. After
a parliamentary storm, in which some OF
the women cried and others shook their
fists at their opponents Ia a meHaeing
manner, the meeting was declared ad-
journed sine die By Mrs. Fisher.
At one time three women were attempt
ing to preside, and they pounded their
gaveIs in an effort TO control the crowd,
which had resolved itself into a m0b-like
body. No action was taken on the Alamo
proposition.

RACE BADGE GRAFT REVEALED
Admission Cards Worth $591 for the
Season Sold for $500.
New York State Legislators Accused
and Committee VIII BE Appointed
TO Investigate Charges.

Special 10 The Washington Herald.
New York, April 19.-The prices of COM
plimentary badges 10 the race tracks.
which are annually presented to the
members of the legislature and to the
New York aldermen, which admit the
bearers to all tracks controlled By the
Jockey Club, and which have been sold
by the State solons regularly every sea
son, have risen sharply Although in
former years the badges went freely at
$50 each. the competition for them has
boosted the figures up to $500.
Tt is admitted that members of the leg
islature have disposed of their badges
for goodly sums for years past. A former
member Of the assembly from Brooklyn
who has been buying the badges ever
since his term expired in 1900 has made
a very good thing of il from financial
point of view.
Alderman Doull announced this after
noon that a very. earnest effort had been
made by a man who signed himself w. c.
Wood TO purchase the aldermans race
track badge, but that the offer had been
spurned. Alderman Doull said he first
received a letter in which the sum of 1865
was offered for the badge Wood said in
the communication that he wanted the
badge for a wealthy Western friend.
Alderman DOull said he ignored the
epistle from Wood, and that shortly after
ward he got a second one offering $500.
alderman Grifenhagen says he got a
note from man whose name he did not
give offering SIS for his badge 1t was
not answered. Thirty other aldermen also
got offers, but not badge was sold. say
their pOssessors.
As there are 1877 racing days on the
local tracks. and as a single badge costs
s., which would make a total Of 1881 for
the racing season, il can be seen that the
prices offered by Wood are not exorbi-
taut.
It is said that the graft viii be inquired
into by committee of the State legisla-
ture.
