THE NIGHT SOIL CONTRACT—RECORDS OF THE PRIVATE MEETING—DR. VERDI DE- | FENDS HIS COURSE—LAWLESS SALES OF LAU DANUM. = ‘A meeting of the Board of Health was hetd Jast evening, Drs. Cox, Bliss and Verdi, and Mr. Marbury present. The minutes of the last meeting were amended so as to make it read that the contract for removing night soil “was awarded to H. F. Turner & Co., the lowest bidder for two years, by means of rail transportation.” Also, that Dr. Verdi re- ted in favor of awarding “the contract to iP. Wattrous. to remove the night soul by water to Four Mile run, in Alexandria county, state of Virginia.” (Dr. Verdi did not come in until after the minutes had been amended.} . Communications were received from Sena- tor Hamlin, of Maine, and Senator Windom, of Minnesota, recommending certain parties for positions under the boerd The synopsis of the operations of the health office for the week ending March 13 was pre- sented. FACTLITATING SUICIDE. Dr. Cox called the attention of the board to the careless manner in which some druggists dispense drugs, and remarked that the most Active poisons could be procured from almost any «lrug store without a prescription. He had been calied on during the day to attend the case of a woman who had taken from 14 to 2 ounces of laudanum, whieh she had pro- eured from the establishment of one of the leading druggists in a tumbler, and after she had been restored to consciousness she said that ber intention was to destroy herself, and if the laudanum did not have the desired ef- fect she could easily procure something that would be effectual. He aid not believe that the drazgist would have allowed it if he had known it, but of course he was responsible for the act of bis clerk. Dr. Cox had little doubt but that the woman could have pro- ured a pint of laudanum as easily as two @unees. There ought to be some restrictions and the subject was one which demanded the early attention of the board. APTER DR. VERDI. Dr. Bliss said that it was due to the board that some action be taken as to the publica- tion of a portion of the records of the last wate mceting as to awarding the contract the removal of night soil, and he gave notice that he should bring it up at the next meeting. This publication was a direct violation of a standing rule of the board. Dr. Verdi said that he had given his report to the reporters, for he wanted the public to see it, and added that he had known of papers from other members a for Meise Menes he was responsible. H: s publication, . He desired to state here that he regarded his Position as a public one, and the public were entitled not only toknow how he voted on jeular measures, but his reasons there- . All hisacts asa member of the board were to the public. Dr. Bliss reiterated that the publication was in direct violation of the rule. The statemenis were garbled and unfair. and eajeulated to injure the members. If the as had stated what the proposal of ‘attrous was there would not be so much ground for complaint, but Dr. Verdi had Kept certain things ‘closely veiled, and seemingly desired to publish himselfas par excellence the virtne of the board. He re- garded the action of Dr. Verdi as AN INSULT TO THE BOARD. Dr. Verdi denied that any garbled state- ment had been published. and said what he gave to the papers was what the public were entitled to know. Dr. Bliss said that if Dr. Verdi had the wel- fare of the beard in view he would have asked that both reports be published. Dr. Verdi answered that when the board was about to consider the subject he had urged that it be done with open doors, but they decided otherwise. He was in the mi- nority and had made his report, giving his reasons therefor. This the public were enti- tled to, and he had given it to them. It was not for him, who had o) the action of the majority, who had endeavored to show that they were wrong, to give reasons by the majority to show thathe was wrong. As for publishing reports made in secret meeting, the president had published a resolution even before its ado; Dr. Cox der this. Dr. Verdi said that when the pres: went to New York at the expense board his report was read by himself board from the columns of THe STAR =e Cox.—I don't recoileet anything of the ine Dr. Verdi said he recollected the cireum- stance distinctly Dr. Bliss. —But it was before the adoption of the standing rule. Dr. Verdi.—Why was the rule adopted? Simply to keep my report as nealth officer from seeing the light. Dr. Bliss said that arguments are matters Which do not belong to the public. The member had the right to give his views to the public, but not in violation of the rules of the board, lent the nor In such & manner as to Riace his fellow-members in an unfair light. course taken by Dr. Verdi was for the Purpose of boistering himself up at the ex- frente of the others, and was an insalt to the rd. DPR. VERDI OPPOSES SECRET MEETINGS. Dr. Verdi said as long as he waa a member he desired the public to kivow what he was doing. (Dr. Bliss—The public know what you are doing new.) It was not for him to make an argument ‘or the oher side. If he could not serve a3 .ree man he would not serve at all. Mr. Marbury saxt he had voted that the subject be considere.| in private meeting, and he thought that their quarrels should not be made public. Dr. Cox ruled debate out of order. and hoped that they wouid conform to the rules. The board then adjourned. ——— THe Excessive MORTALITY AMONG THE CoLoRED PEOPLE— Meeting of Colored Preach- «s.— A meeting of ministers of colored churches was on last evening in the study of Rev. R.

In the meantime, however, Morrow had to de his tale. and Mr. Mendenhall, while infor) ntag the Adams Express company of the f sets stated, went before Alderman Shane and took outa warrant for Russell for swind- ling the sewing-machine company. Mr. Simpson, the constable, arrested Russell on Saturday night at 6th and Race streets, and took bim to the station-house at 15th and streets. On the way Russell, who kad been chatting pleasantly, asked the con- Stable if he would take a note to some of his friends. Simpson said he would, and Russell handed him a note, and as Simpson looked at it called out “good-bye” and ran. Simp- son started in pursuit, when RUSSELL DREW A PISTOL AND FIRED, the ball graxing @ finger of the constable. The latter, who is a plucky little feliow, ran on Russell, who drew another pistol, which missed fire. Then Simpson gras shim by the legs and threw him, and thus seevred him and took him to the station house. In the meantime the ine Wr oe had ap- plied to Mr. Franklin, of the Pinkerton agency, and he was on the matter hee goon to get all the confederates in the act of assail- ing the messenger, when the arrest of Russell knocked the scheme in the head. Jamison got out of the way, so Franklin went to the office of “Williamson & Co.,” and found the bueks and gags there yesterday. A hearing was given Russell before Alderman Shane, and be was held in 2.000 bail on the sewing machine case; $1,500 for the attack on Sim: son, and #2,000 bail for the conspt to rob.

A report submitted by the committee on temperance, recommending that the confer- ence pledge co-operation with the Maryland state temperance alliance in all of its plans, and authorizing the use of the churches for temperance meetings, elicited considerable discussion. It was bree by Dr. J. J. Mar- ray, Dr. Southerland, Revs. J. B. Jones, J.T. Graham and J. W. Chariton, aud was re- committed to the committee. Rev. D. T. Shermer, from the committee on missions, submitted 5 partial report, asking the conference to provide for meeting a de- ficiency of $1,300. It was resolved to make an effort to obtain the amount at once by pledges and contributions. The stations and circuits were called, and about $27/@ of the lei assumed.

A ng. x steward, submitted his report, showing items as follows :— Ministers” salaries, $46.111; amount received, $41,529.09; received from other sources, $3,500; deficiency, $617.91. F. T. Tagg presented the report of the com- mittee on statistics, showing:—Number of members, 11,747; probationers, 903; unsta- tioned minisiers, 26; unsts tioned preachers, 35; churches, 193; parsonages, 44; Sunday 178; Sunday school teachers, 1,811; , 11,668; volumes in libraries, 37,906; value of chureh property, $770,515; showing a gain in rsonages of 3, gain in cour schools of 5, and in church property of $1,053. Rev. T. D. Valliant, from the committee on the president’s report, submitted a rt recommending in reference to the case of Rey. D. Evans Reese, appointed to the Ais- quith street church, of Baltimore, that as the trouble been settled, a minister be sent to that chureh, and that irregularities be overlooked and condoned; adopted. In relation to the case of THE BROADWAY CHURCH TROUBLE, the report recommends that Rev. Joseph P. Wilson, by bis own act of withdrawal on the 3d day of December, 1374, did then cease to be | 4 member and minister of the Maryland Anntlal Conference and of the Methodist Protestant Church. That each and every one f the former members of Broadway station, Methodist Protestant Church, who voted for the resolution of severance at a meet- ing held in that chureh on Monday night, December 14, 1874, did by that act there and then cease to be members of the said Broad- way M. P. church. That as a cenference we confidently expect the remaining and ad- hering members of that station to be shortly of their chureh property, and the resident be requested to fornish a minis- Ferial supply to Broadway church as usual, im accordance with the ——— of the delegate from that church. These recom- ™ tions were adopted.
