Friday evening any doubt as to the
necessity or rather the absence OF
necessity for State quarantine SER

doubt must have been removed by
the lucid and interesting statement OF
Dr. Hugh s. Cumming. the United
States marine hospital and public
health service surgeon stationed at
Old Point DR.. Cummings explana-
tons were OF inestimable value to the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce, as he brought out some vital
facts concerning which everybody in
the organization. not excepting the
local State quarantine officer, was in
ignorance.
1t has been generally conceded
that the United States service is ef-
sicient, and that the State service as
at present administered is inefficient.
The State officer frankly admits that

was the same man she had seen at
Glen Miller park Sunday and she said
that she distinctly remembered hearing
him talk to a companion.
Then Patrolman Vogelsong went out
on a still hunt after the man and ar
rested him just as he was in the act of
selling a knife to Charles Crivel ON
South Ninth street. Wren put up a
bold front and kept up the deaf and
dumb gag remarkably well for about
half an hour. During that time Chief
Gormon filled a whole pad with ques-
tions which he put to the prisoner in
writing. The chief was therefore not a
little surprised when, after playing the
game SO long, Wren suddenly gave
vent to speech with the expression
given above. In the city court this
morning Wren was fined S. and costs
and given ten days in Jail. He was
furiously mad. He said that he would
be % years old on May IS and would
get out of Jail on the day before his
birthday. According to the mans story
he has been playing the part of a

siderable success.

TROUBLE OVER ROAD
Commissioners Ordered South
N Street Opened by the
Trustee Delayed.
ACTED ON LEGAL ADVICE

The opening of South N street,
across the C. c. & L. railroad tracks.
as authorized by the county commits
sioners at their meeting in April. was
not carried out owing to the advice
given by County Attorney John F..
Robbins to James Howarth, trustee
for Wayne township. However, it is
probable the matter will be straight
ened out Immediately and the road con-
structed.
The members OF the South Side I'M
provement association had petitioned
for the opening OF the road. The coun-
ty commissioners appointed viewers
and the report OF these officials was
that the road was public necessity.
No remembrance was filed with the
commissioners. The commissioners
notified the county auditor to instruct
the trustee Of Wayne township to see
that the order was obeyed. but before
he could do this he was advised by
the county attorney that he had no
right to condemn the property, because
the road was in the hands OF re-
ceiver and under government juris-
diction. The petitioners became an
noyed at the delay and visited Mr..
Howarth with the result that he con-
suited his attorney. 1t was stated by
his attorney today that the county
commissioners order would be obeyed.

that connected with the escape of
Eliza Harris, the heroine of Uncle
Toms Cabin furnished the greatest
interest.
In discussing this he often spoke of
the visit which Harriet Beecher Stowe,
the authoress of the novel. made to
Fountain City and he took as much
pride in the novel as though it was his
own work. The authoress practically
moulded her story from a story told
her by the Rev. johnson and his uncle.
When Eliza Harris was turned over
to the Rev. Johnson, he took special
interest in her because of her intelli-
gence and it was without little diff
fculty that she was induced to relate
her story. Her master had decided to
sell her child, and this SO alarmed her
that she fled one night after dark with
her child and sped towards the Ohio
river
When the river was reached she
told the Rev. Johnson, she found the
| ice had broken and that it was almost
impossible, even in a boat. She had
expected to find the river frozen. She

a house, she told her story, finding
that the family on whom she called

the house during the night. The next
day, the river was still filled with
large cakes of ice and no escape seem
