Williams, the assistant superintendent, wns promot ed to the superlntendency and James White, of Providence, was appointed lo 1111 the vacanry caused by the pro motion. The live members of the" board, Pres ident M J. Kelly, Henry Eelgler, Dr. W. A. Paine, Dr. J. K. Bentley nnd Attorney George S. Horn, assembled nt 7.45 o'clock, and by pre-arrangement entered Into caucus in the board's pri vate oirtce. A few minutes after 8 o'clock they returned and proceeded forthwith to finish up the routine busi ness of their fiscal year. "When adjournment had been made sine die, Dr. Paine wns selected to act as temporary chairman, nnd then, on motion of Mr. Zlegler, seconded by Mi Kelly, ho was unanimously chosen president. The salaries of all officers and em ployes were, on motion of Dr. Bentley, fixed at the same figure as last year, and then the selecting of these of ficers was proceeded with. Dr. Hentley, seconded by Mr. Kelly, nominated Dr. Allen for health officer, and he was unanimously chosen. Mr. Horn nomin ated Hobert J. Murray for secretary. There were no other nominations, and his election was made unanimous. MR. LOFTUS REMOVED. Dr. Rentley then sprung the sur prise of tho evening by moving to de clare tho position of crematory super intendent vacant. The motion was car iled, a dissenting voice being heard, and then, on motion of Mr. Kelly, David O. Williams, the assistant sup erintendent, was promoted to the posi tion vacated and James White, of Providence, was named to fill vacancy cieated by the assistant superintend ent's promotion. Mr. Loftus, after recovering from his surprise walked over to the president's table and facing the members calmly, but firmly challenged the board to show cause that he had been discharged for anything but politics. "I was dis charged once before in '60," said the doughty old soldier, "and I am proud of It. Considering the teason of my discharge now, I will say I am also proud of this dlschaige. What I did to offend the powers that be, I'll do over again, if I was to be discharged every day for it. That's my little piece, gentlemen." No one deigned to make any reply to the challenge. Mr. Murray, the new secretary, was called in from the corridor, nnd after being Introduced by Mr. Horn, made a brief speech of thanks. The retiring secretary. Attorney Av alter Uriggs, shooks hands cordially with his succes sor, and proceeded to turn over the keys and books. Mr. Murray has not decided as yet whether or not he will give his personal attention to the office or engage a clerk, as has been the custom of late. According to Secretary Rrlggs' re port for June there were ICG deaths, 114 births and B5 marriages. Of the 154 contagious diseases reported 56 were diphtheria, SC measles and 12 scarlet fever. There were 10 deaths fiom diph theria and 2 from measles. EPIDEMIC HAS DIED OUT. Dr. Allen In his report called atten tion to the fact that the measles epi demic hud virtually died out, and among a numhtr of other suggestions aivlEed that steps be taken to abate Ihe nuisince caused by the lodgment of waste water from Dunmore in the field diagonally across from the county jail. Tho eeeretury and health officer were instructed to communicate with the Dunmore health officer regarding tho nuisai ce. Food Insprtor Cullen reported hav ing confiscated 150 pounds of beef, SCO pounds of fish, 5 barrels of pine apples, 10 barrels of vegelubles, 12 bunches of bananas and 140 quarts of milk. Superintendent Loftus reported that the crematory had consumed 1,916 bar rels of refuse, 7 dogs, S cats and 9 calves with 24 tons of coal. In June, 1806. 2,594 barrels were consumed. The decrease this year was explained by the fact that the month of June was much cooler than the corresponding month of last year. An ononymous communication com plaining of one Frank Cornawiski, of 120.i Cedar avenue, who Is alleged to be practicing medicine without a diploma, wns referred to District Attorney Jones, The resoluilon of councils requesting the board of health to omit from its annual report the birth statistics until such time ar they could be gathered with somo degree of accuracy was not received with the best of grace. Dr. Hentley wanted the councils to under stand that tho board of health is col lecting those statistics aa best it can hut can never expect to get accurate rpturop as long ns lay obstebrlcians are allowed to practice. The date for the annual inspection of the water supply was left to the discre tion of tho health officer. LOOKING FOR HIS FATHER. Willlo Jtohme, ofNuwhurs, N. V., Is in This City. Willie Rohme, 10 years old, whose home Is at Newburg, N. Y., came to police headquarters In this city yta terday. He is looking for his father who two months ugo left Newbutg in search of work.

Twenty chickens had been found dead in Frank Caswell's chicken coop floor in tho back yard of his residence on Oak street, Taylor. What caused the twenty demises was a mystery to Mr. Caswell and the neighbors. The death dates are strung out for the past two niontlia. When Mr. Caswell was awakened from his sleep at 3 o'clftck Tuesday morning by an ominous clatter in the hencoop lie didn't take time to don. any superfluous gaiments but hastened to the rescue of the dozen remaining fowls. Up cautiously opened the hen coop door and there on the floor were four more dead chickens. He also saw a black and white something moving about. The something was one of those animals which for protection surround ed themselves with an unseen substance foreign to purs air. Mr. CJiswell, however, was driven to desperation by his losses: so he stood his cround In the hencoop door. He stood there in his bare feet from 3.30 o'clock until 5 o'clock n'canwhlle yell ing for his faons to bring a gun so that he might destroy tho odlferous animal. No one heard him until 5 o'clock and then It was a neighbor who was at tracted by his shouts. A few minutes afterward a gun was got and the ani mal shot. THROPE STOLE A WHEEL.

FIQIITINQ FOR THEIR CHILDREN John II. Gntcs nnd Ills Wife Do Nut Hosiltito to illnlco tho 'Most Serious Accusations, One Against tho Other, in Their Grcnt Dcslro to HIii.-rilght.Ycrtr-Old Child on tho Stand Judge Will Rive His De cision I'riilny. A case that was quite as pathetic as It was sensational was heard before Judge Edward's yesterday afternoon In tho main court room, after the ad journment of argument court. It was a habeas corpus proceeding brought by Mrs. John H. Gates, of Prlceburg, to secure possession of her 12-year-old boy and S-year-old girl, who are now in the care of their father In Peck vllle. They lived together in Prlceburg un til October, 1893, when Mrs. Gates left her husband because of his alleged in temperance and ciuelty. The oldest boy, who is now 14 years of age, went to live with the mother. The father retained possession of tho two younger children and moved to Peckvllle. He Is now keeping house In that town, a young woman named Dora Synder act ing as his housekeeper. The charges made by the wife against her husband and the counter charges made by him against her were of a highly sensational nature. In ad dition to the allegations of intemper ance and general unfitness for the bringing up of children Mrs. Gates avers that her husband and his house keeper are now living as man and w lfe. He preferred a similar charge against her, naming Joe Gllgallon, a young man of Prlceburg, as her para mour. He swore that his wife left him not because of his cruelty, but be cause she preferred the companion ship of young Gllgallon. WAS FOND OF JOE. witnesses testified that they had seen Mrs. Gates and the Gllgallon boy set ting together on the porch as late as 11.30 o'clock at night, and that he had been seen coming out of the house at all hours of tho night, when Mrs. Gates' husband was working In Duryea. A letter was also produced which Is al leged to have been written to Gllgal lon, and which started out "Dear Joe," and wound up "lour Dearest Anna" Court would not, however, allow the letter to be read as It was not proven that Mrs. Gates wrote It. Mrs. Gates denied any wrong doing, and by her husband's own witnesses It was shown that Gllgallon was only 15 or 10 years of age at the time these notions are alleged to have occurred. The husband also denied that there was anything wrong between him and his housekeeper, but he was greatly nonplussed when his little daughter whom he called to the stand, admitted that she had seen the housekeeper "l:l3s Pa In the kitchen." When tho little- glii was on the stand Attorney John U. Brown, who was representing the huslaand, asked: "Wouldn't you rather live with your father than your mother?" "Edith, Edith, answer the truth now," interjected the mother Jumping up and extending her hands appealing towards her child. PREFERRED THE FATHER. "Yes," answered the little one hang ing her head in a shamefaced sort of wav. "You don't want to live with your mother, dojou?" said Mr. Brown. "No," s.ald the child with some hes itancy. "She isn't saylns that for herself," sobbed the mother. "You can see she was put up to it." "Nobody has talked to you about what you should say. have they?" re joined Mr. Brown. "No. sir." "Evidently," remarked Mr. Carpen ter, attorney for Mrs. Gates, "no ono coached her abt ut havln? nothing to say concerning any little kitchen epi sodes." Judge Edwards said he would give his decision in the case Friday. LANGOWSKI AGAIN RESPITED. Will Not Be Sentenced Until August 10, Next. Daniel Langowskl, the Polish editor convicted of libeling Rev. Bruno lwan owski nnd Miss Frances Schutka, was granted another respite yesterday. When he was called up for sentence at the January term he secured a postponement on the plea that his wife was very ill. Saturday last ho was brought up aga:n and given 30 days in Jail by Judge Aichbald. He made unotlier pitiful plea and the Judge afte rsome inquries revoked the sen tence. Yesterday Langowskl gave ball In the sum of $'00 to appear for sen tence August 10, when hu say3 his wife will have recovered. MINER STARLING INJURED.

Received n Thrust in tho I'nco In tended for Another. Deputy Sheriff J. R. Ferber appeared at tho court house yesterday with a puncture In his lower lip and minus the top of one of his lower teeth. He went in company with Simon Hln erfeldt the previous evening to sell out the household effects of one Mrs. Andrew Olchefski, of 2025 Price street. When ho arrived he found a crowd of the woman's kinsfolks to oppose him. Assistance was summoned, and upon the arrival of reinforcements In tho person of Deputies II, F. Ferber and William Ward, the opposition melted away. In retreating, however, Mrs. Olchef ski thought to wreak her rage on Hlnerfeldt, the Instigator, of the sale, and made a thrust at him with a sharp pointed stove-raker. He saw her move ment In time to duck, and Ferber, who was standing close behind the in tended victim, received the thrust, with the result above noted. Tho woman Is the mother of eleven children, and con sidering she had troubles enough the blg-hcyirted deputy declined to arrest her. CRUMP-WATSON NUPTIALS.
