Health Department.
On account of the down-pour'pf rain
yesterday afternoon the conference
between the Board of Health, and the
Sanitary Committee of the Board of
Aldermen did not take place, as was
appointed.- It is learned that at this
conference the principal matter to be
considered is the systematizing of the
scavenger work of the city. It is pur
posed to divide the city into districts
and place jeach district in charge' of
some responsible scavenger, who Shall
execute a bond- for the faithful per
formance of his duty, and act in con-'
nection with and under the supervi
sion of the Board of Health.
Dr.' W. D. McMillan, the clever and'
efficient Superintendent of Health,
with the assistance' of Health, officer
M. Kfrschbaum, has just completed a
very pretty and useful sanitary map
of the city, ..showing the locations and
sewer connections in different sections
of the city together with other sanita
ry drawings that will proye a great
assistance to the health department in
its increased duties incident to the
Summer season;. .! r
County Commissioners. - .
The Board of County Commissioners
were in session for a good pari of the
afternoon yesterday and for several
hours last night examining the tax
assessments of real estate made by
the board appointed for that purpose.
It will ba recalled that the unusually
heavy valuation by this board called
out an almost universal storm of dis
approval and the . County Commis
sioners were petitioned to mike a re
duction in valuation. According to'
law, no reduction can be made until
the regular meeting in July, but that
they might be thoroughly ' acquainted
with the books and valuations at this
meeting, the members of the Board of
.Commissioners are making a personal
examination preparatory for the July
meeting. . , a
To-day "at Noon.
The conference of business men with
a special committee from the Board
of Aldermen with reference to the
privilege tax matter did not materialize
yesterday. On account of the storm at
3 o'clock, the hour appointed for the
meeting, there were only a few of
those interested present and an ad
journment was taken until to-day at
noon, .when the conference will ba
held? in the rooms of the Merchants'
Association in the Seaboard Air Line
hmTdinc It ii verv nrobable that at
meeting to-day an adjustment oi
the tax ordlaance with reference to
the privilege tax will be made satisfac
tory to all parties concerned.

AIR. KEITH'S ' RESIDENCE ENTERED.
Barjilars Ransacked Dwelling Wednesday
Night Entered Tbroa;h a Window.
Burglars entered the residence of
Mr. B. F. Keith, on Fourth, between
Chesnut and Walnut streets,, some
time during Wednesday night and
ransacked the house.
, Mr. Keith and family were away at
the time, but on returning to the city
yesterday and going to his dwelling
he found that the latches from the
blinds had been broken and the win
dow to the sitting room forced. ' Mrs.
Keith is away. for 'the Summer and
did not return, consequently Mr.
Keith, "who is not 'well acquainted
with the household belongings, could
not tell what was missing, though it .1
is hardly probable that the burglar or
burglars went away empty-handed, as
the condition of the house showed
that, a thorough search had been
made. --'
Mr. Keith says that his jresdence
has been, .burglarized several time's
during the past few months. .

Heavy Downpour of Rain.
Wilmington was visited again yes-
teijday afternoon by a heavy rain, and
in some parts of the city a severe wind
storm. The downpour of rain is said
to have been e heaviest for several
years-,- the I streets ! being flooded in
. many instances -with water in conse
quence of the fact thai the drains and
sewers were inadequate for such an
overflow. Ii. some parts of the city
the streets and sidewalks were badly
.washed. In the vicinity of Front and
Dock streets there was a general over
flow, and tne first floor of the whole
sale grocery store of Adrian &. Co.
was flooded.) It was with difficulty
that goods were removed in time to
prevent more considerable damage.
