A called meeting of the Ministerial

to be held in the assembly room Of
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton on Monday morning. for the
purpose OF hearing the report of the
committee on civic conditions in this
city. and the discussion of a bill elm
mating the segregated district Of
Richmond. which may be introduced
at the coming legislature.
Members Of the committee last
night refused to discuss the coming
meeting. saying that nothing would be
committee had been made to the
union.
Two Years Study.
This committee Is standing one
which has been investigating condi-
lions in Richmond for the last two
years. Members of 1T say tnat a
move to eliminate the segregated dis
trict here would meet with hearty
support, II such a move was con-
sidered in the light OF a moral issue.
However. It's practicability Ia Ques-
tionable In the opinion OF many Of
them because OF the fact that dis
OF the city would probably result, and
the inmates turned loose on the
streets.
One Of the most important matters
bearing on the subject to be dis
cussed at the meeting on Monday will
be the Iowa law. and 1t appears that
a bill modelled after this law may
result.
The Iowa Law.
The Iowa law not only prohibits
tho maintenance Of disorderly houses.
but makes the owners Of the prop
erty and the real estate agents rent
ing 1t partially responsible. and as
guilty as those maintaining or living
within the houses. The owners and
agents are particeps criminia
Ministers of the city are to discuss
the situation here thoroughly at the
meeting on Monday. and will en-
deavor to reach some conclusion as
to the best means OF combating the
evil. They have urged full attend
ance.

Feeling that Richmond should have
q driveway from CANDLES Hill to the

board yesterday took up the question,
and will. In the coming months, do
what II can to fulfill the promise given
the citizens Of Richmond that such q
driveway shall, within q reasonable
length OF time, be q fact.
For many months there has been
much argument concerning this drive
way. Offers have been made for the
sale Of property. and owners of prop.
erty have offered 1t for sale. In one
instance the owner agreed to give to
tho city q certain piece OF property
for improvements which may have
been needed for the driveway. This
offer was refused.
Now the city will have to do the
best II can to get the driveway
through from CANDLES Hill to the
settling basin.
A large amount OF street improve
ments Is to be made the coming year
1t Is understood that smooth paving
for Broad street wili be recommended
by the administrative board. From
Third and Broad streets to Masonic
temple. or maybe Elba, on Broad, will
be smoothly paved Other side streets
will also be paved, and 1t is a ques-
ton AS 70 whether the side streets will
be paved In asphalt blocks or vitrtfied
brickA At any rate, there will be
much smooth paving done by the ad-
ministrative board during the present
year.

ONE CASE IN BARRE.
Child on Prospect Street Has Infantile
Paralysis.
Committee
G. A. r.

case of infantile paralysis has been
discovered in Barre. In the family OF
John Coloumbe at 30 Prospect street
son. Herman Coloumbe, aged three years,
has developed paralysis in one of the
lower limbs. The child has been i'll since
Sunday and from the very outset the
case has been under suspicion. Its con-
dition is not considered especially Sc
rious. The house has been posted and
the strictest quarantine measures are be-
ing enforced. Health Officer DIR, j. w.
Stewart has been appraised OF the SIT
uation and he is aiding the attending
physician in an effort to keep the case
isolated. In the family of John Rogers,
near the same street, there is case OF
diphtheris. The patient is Mr.. Rogers
eldest bow. aged Ia According to DIR.
Stewart's statement to-day, all of the
Ave patients who came down with scarlet
fever last month are making progress
toward recovery.
In towns about, the infantile paralysis
situation appears to be more serious.
Health Officer DIR. II. S. Carver of Marsh
field reports three cases in that town
and there is good reason to believe that
two cases have developed in the town
of Plainfeld. In Barre Town small
child in the Howes family on the Plain
field road has practically recovered from
the disease. The child was i'll around
three weeks ago, but no report was made
to the town health officer at that time.
Since the child's recovery, the health Of
hcer. DR.. f. II. Bailey of Granitevillc,
has received a report of the symptoms
and has decided that the case was one o.
paralvsis. A careful canvass OF Barre
Town has failed to reveal any other
ca ses

VERDICT FOR RAILROAD.
Was Ordered By Judge Slack In Under
hill VS.. Rutland r. r.

Rutland, Sept. pa verdict Tor tho
defense in the Underhill-Rutland raii-
road case yesterday, ordered by Judge
Leighton p. Slack, brought to an end
the litigation in this matter at the pres
ent term of Rutland county court Inc
plaintiff. George G. Underhill, however,
win take an appeal 10 the Vermont SUI
preme court. The case involves S20,-
900. and the trial was begun Monday
afternoon. Counsel for the defendant
company Yesterday morning made mo-
tion that their client be given yer-
dict. and this motion was exhaustively
argued by attorneys on both sides during
nearly all the rest of the court day. IL
was argued that the questions OF TACT
were oyershadowed by questions OF law,
which would ultimately go to the su.
preme court, and that 1t was waste oil
time, effort and money to try the case
at present.
To all this line of argument the plain.
tifT's LAWYERS interposed answers, and
when the order was finally made an ex.
ception was taken. Mr.. Underhill sought
remuneration for work done on the
roads right of way.
The grounds on which the railroads
attorneys sought and obtained the yer'
dict were that there was no valid con-
tract between Mr.. Underhill and anyone
the road that any contract
which may have existed was without
authority or sanction from the Rut.
land or the Columbian Marble company
which concern must have legally been
the second party to the contract said to
have existed; that the Columbian was a
Maine corporation which had not COM
piled with the obligations OF the sta
tutes necessary to the transaction of a
legal business here
In making his order Judge Slack re-
marked that the case had many diff.
cuIties for a jurist, but that he believed
the questions of law should be disposed
of first.
