All say that at least a year must loll by before the full vaiue of the lymph can be known. Numerous remedies have been advanced -which will for a time arrest tbe progress of this dread malady, but soon the effect is overcome, and the patient becomes as bad as, or worse, than before. Tor this reason local physicians aro rather reticent on tbe bubjccL However, the medical society holds its meeting on the third Tuesday of each month, and next week a regular session will be held. The Koch theory, as it is called, has gained so much prominence that it will of course be the main topic of discussion. Tbe subject cannot be bandied very thor oughly because of tbe fact that its composi tion is a secret, known only to Dr. Koch End perhap his most intimate fraternal as sociates. Bat the physicians of Pittsburg ami Allegheny have become so deeply in terested in the matter that the meeting will not be passed through without a reference to the subject, and an intetcsting discussion is cipected. VIEWS OF LOCAL PHYSICIANS. In anticipation of the discussion to be had next week, Dispatch reporters visited the leading physicians of the city yesterday to learn what they think of this wonderful theory. JIany of them were busy with patients, and were unable to talk on the sub ject, while numerous others were out on pro fessional calls, so that only a comparatively small number of them had an opportunity to express their opinions. Dr. "W. T. English, of Sixth avenue, holds the chair of professor of diseases of the chest in the Pittsburg Medical College, and, of course", anything he has to say would thus be doubly interesting. He was one of the first to take a stand against the Brown- Sequard theory, and other exploded ideas of the past few years, and for this reason, is sometimes called by his medical brethren a skeptic. Dr. Enclish said; "The paper civen to the profession and public by Dr. Koch but feebly supports the claims which have been made for his sup posed discovery through the newspapers. Some very important details are omitted from the paper, and others are purposely withheld for a future occasion. "Without these details the assumptions seem highly problematical. The treatment is an out growth of the germ theory of disease. This theory cmauated from Dr. Koch and is not fully accepted by all medical men, and re ceives only passive recognition by a large number of able and conservative members of the medical profession. "Personally, I hope its promises may be realized. But it appears tbe more miraculous the more it is contemplated. As yet I am cot convinced that the experiments have placed this method of cure within the realm of the probable. Such an acnievement would be welcomed by all, and if the efforts prove unavailing, as mauy expended in a similar direction have, they are nevertheless deserving of commendation from the pro fession and laity alike, for they give evi dence of untiring devotion to professional work in the cause of humauity." HOPES IT WILL HE A SUCCESS. Dr. S. D. Itar-. of Sixth avenue, rather has hopes thai, the lymph will prove more than a theory. "That there is an opposite to everything is my firm belief," said the Doctor, "even a whisky is an opposite to the snake bite. la view of the many won derful discoveries made in the profession recently, 1 can't see why Prof. Koch's theory may not become a success and prove the opposite to consumption. In curing a disease we must get at the cause, and if the Professor can kill the bacillus Defore the lungs are damaged he certainly has reached the root of the evil. "I am a great believer in hypodermic in jections for the cure of diseases. Often when medicines are given internally they have a bad effect upon other parts of the fcystem and thus still another kind of medi cine must be used to build up the part weakened by the previous preparation. I have studied the new remedy as far as pos sible, reading all that has been published in the medical journals and The Dispatch. I expect to learn some more interesting facts regarding the matter very soon, as Dr. "augh, of Philadelphia, is going to Europe to look up tbe scientific parts of the lymph now tent a secret." Dr. S. J. Larburgh, the homeopathic physician of Second avenue, was just leav ing his office when the reporter called. "What do you know of the new discovery "which, it is claimed, will cure consump tion?" was asked. "I can't say, but if you have an affection of the chest, I'd advise you to give up to bacco," replied the doctor. "But 1 haven't got consumption," inter posed the interviewer, "and don't use to bacco. What I want to know is for the benefit of any readers of Thf. DISPATCH who may be afflicted with the disease." WAITING TO TEY IT HERE. "Oh, yes, I see." said the doctor. "Sit down and we'll talk about it. I have read considerable about the remedy, rjut, of course, know very little, on account of the ingredients being kept secret, xfowever, I'm watching the experiments with much interest, and hope that it will prove bene ficial to humauity. Some of the lvmph nas been roceived in Sew York and" Philadel phia, and I hope ere long to see what the American physicians think of it." Dr. Dunn, of Sixth nvenne. said when Bsked his opinion ot the lymph: "I do not caie to be interviewed on the question, be cause I have not had a chance to thoroughly study it. The composition has been kept secret, but I suppose Dr. Koch wants to thoroughly investigate it before making it public I cannot class Dr. Koch with JJrown-Sequard. The latter is an old man, and his mental powers are doubtless failing, but 1'rot". Koch is a man in the prime of life, and is celebrated as a man of medicine. The fact that the German Government is lending its aid in the investigations is also in the remedy's lavor, and I do not doubt but at least some good will come of it." "Hopefulncss'is said to be a characteristic of disease whose seat isabovc the diaphragm, VhJW&fwnSwlDOWN TO BUSINESS. continuing. Dr. bainuel Ayres gave iuc fdllouing'as his opinion on the matter: WHY HOPE SHOULD BE .HAD. "Let consumptives be doubly hopeful, now. The evangel ol health came in the guise of a substantial German physician named Koch. TLe recollection ot Brown Sequard's elixir of life tends to hold back the public from a too ready acceptance nf nil tliit tli npw discovery IS said to promise, but the grounds to promise, but tbe gromius iredibility are firmer in the present dis ry than "in the lormer case. If 1ror ert Koch has discovered the germ ol lor cred cover' Robert consumption and the means of destroying it without destroying the patient he will be tne means of saving more lives than have been lost by another great discovery that ot gunpowder. Yor ten years this German physician has labored" with true Teutouic patience and persistence, trying to find some chemical that would kill this germ which has defiantly carried off its victims by the hundred thousand year by year. Prof. Koch has never yet made a statement without proof to back it. His discovery, if it stands actual tests and time, is worthy or being called the crown ing scientific "glorv of this century. Em peror "William's "donation of SIL'S.OOO to Prof. Koch is a princely acknowledgement of the doctor's great services to humanity, but money cannot reward such a service. The gratitude of a vast throng of sufferers will be this German doctor's well-earned prize." PKATUKES OP VITAL IJtrOKTANCE. Vlien Dr. Frederick Gaertner was ap proached on the subject he said: "Prof. Koch, the greatest bacteriologist in the world, has not yet revealed to us the secret of his actual remedy, but from his descrip tion ot the charoctaiistics of his treatment, and from what I gleaned from him while in Berlin, 1 think the cure he has discovered will be found to possess Ifatures that are of vital importance to the medical fraternity. Prof. Stilling says that, despite the pervad ing theoretic changes which modern bacte riology has wrought in all departments of medical science, it has m lar accomplished but little in practice, and all eyes are now turned to Germany to see bow Koch will revolutionize the present order o( things by test. His method of inoculation is de signed to cure a disease, and differs entirely from the purposes of vaccination which is intended as a preventive. Koch's remedy may be somewhat similar to a medicinal disinfectant charged with killing purulent processes, and consisting of certain groups of colorific coal tar derivatives. Almost all the known pathogenic micro-organisms anthrax baccilii and pyocci foremost among them readily accumulate such colorants within their own bodies, just as larger plants do, and succumb to their toxic agency. Anthrax ;baccilli, pyocci, etc., as may be readily observed by the microscope, imbibe those colorants like a sponge; so that the bacteria may be noticed as being deeply dyed before any of the colorific liquid itseli becomes discernible in the field of vision; and the moment the intensive coloration is accomplished, every swarming motion ceases: the cell dies! "Dr. Koch, who is only 47 years old, be came famous six years ago as the discoverer of the comma-shaped microbe, which is be lieved to be the cause of cholera. Germany may well be proud of him, and she will have cause to be proud of herself if she gives him ail possible aid in his researches. It is to be hoped that tbe plan for the establish ment of a bacteriological laboratory, to be under Prof. Koch's direction, will be car ried out" ONE OP THE EXPLODED THEORIES. "Notions ago an elixir of life set the world on fire," remarked Dr. Seip, "and Brow n-Sequard was all the rage. Nothing is heard of that wonderlul discovery now. There was a time when Pasteur aud his world-renowned treatment created a magnifi cent sensation, but it has died out to-day. Now something new is sprung on us by a distinguished German professor. I am not prepared to say anything for or against his new-found cure for consumption, because I have no knowl edge of the nature of his remedy. He hasn't disclosed the ingredients that compose it, and we are in the dark. It is best to go slow in a case of this kind and await further de velopments. Of course, if the remedy ac complishes what is claimed for it, and its composition is revealed, it will likely re ceive immediate tests in this country, al though some may hasten to apply it even belore possessing a thorough knowledge of its character, because there are some who would try any remedy in a desperate case." Dr. Huselton, on the staff of the Alle gheny General Hospital, commented in this strain: "It was only a short time ago that Koch announced in Berlin the fact that he believed he was on the eve of a great discov ery that would prove of incalculable benefit to'mankiud, and while in Europe I learned that he had been experimenting on his remedy for some time. As it stands now we cannot employ his cure in practice because we are not prepared to use it. "When he has consented to break the bond of secrecy then it is probable that medical science will be enriched by a grand discovery. A IDEA OP THE THEORY. "Koch's injection is intended to destroy the tubercular baccillus, or germs of con sumption. After the first injection the patient shows violent symptoms, such as high fever, a chill and frequent coughing, which may cause him to think that the cure has made him worse, but, instead, that is de scribed as merely the action of the medicine. Other injections follow the first, the symp toms mentioned before appearing each time after the application, but in a less marked degree toward the end, till at the last injec tion the chemical substance finally succeeds in killing the germs, and the patient is healed." In an interview Dr. Dickson spoke as fol lows: "Prof. Koch claims to cure con sumption by inoculation. This is a material enlargement of the sphere of inoculation. It has heretofore been confined to the pre vention of disease and has not been applied to its cure. Prof. Koch keeps the composi tion of his healing inoculating remedy to himself. So far I have no faith in it, "but later developments may alter the case. There is certainly money in it for the man who has the exclusive knowledge of its make up. But think of the infinitesimal proportion of the consumptives of tbe world who will be able to go to Berlin to have the curative operation performed upon them if Koch chooses to keep his secret. Possibly, however, the professor may im part his wondrous secret to the necessary number of disciples and subordinates and establish consumption inoculating institu tions throughout the world. In that event, if his process should prove effective in a fair proportion of cases, he would indue time gather in stores of wealth compared to which the fortunes of Carnegie and Gould and Vanderbilt would be out of sight. So much would despair pay for that which would brine hope." "The re seems to be no reason to doubt the genuineness of the discovery," said Dr. Gentry, "and it is almost impossible to con ceive "the benefit which will accrue to humanity when the method of treatment shall have been made known. The remedy should be given a fair test and then ad judged asto its merits. It is affirmed that the lymph used for inoculating the patients will be within the reach of all and that it will cost only 25 marks for a small vial." People TWuld Have laughed At anybody who, a year ago, would have proposed to sell the Encyclopaedia Britan nica at the price of ?1 50 pe volume. Yet this is now an accomplished fact. The Henry G. Allen Co., of New York, has done this very thing. Bv modern piocess of economical reproduction they have been able to reprint that standard work of refer ence at the absurdly low price named. Per sons of small means are fast availing them selves of the opportunity to secure a set of these hitherto almost out-oj-reach books.

TTSSU HUQUS & KACKE. Mr. Powderly's General Assembly Has Plenty of. Work on Hand. A LETTER FROM JUSEPH L. EVANS. Local Trades Councils Will Assist in Get ting Shorter Hours. DRIFT OP A DAT IN LABOR CIRCLES Considerable interest is being manifested among local Knights of Labor in the pro ceedings of the General Assembly now in session at Denver. A letter was received yesterday, at K. of E. headquarters, lrom Master "Workman Evans, who represents D. A. 3, in which he states tbe business of the assembly thus far has been transacted with greater harmony than usual, although they have not more than started rightly on tbe measures to be considered. The session will last two weeks yet, and some very important business is to be con sidered. The matter of bringing about a closer affiliation with the Farmers' Alliance will probably be considered the first of this week. The question will hardly be settled in a day, as a great manv of the delegates are believed to regard this affiliation as a move toward taking the order into politics. This feeling is strengthened by Mr. Powder ly's hearty recommendation that fraternal delegates be sent to the next convection of the farmers' Alliance. A BOND OF UNITY WANTED. The attention of the General Assembly will also be taken up for some time consid ering the proposed federation with the rail way organizations. It is not intended to bring about a complete consolidation, but a closer bond of unity between the men en gaged in the railway service will in all probability be formed. Many new laws lor the government of strikes are likely to be adopted. Mr. Evans will present a measnie himself which will call out the sentiments of the delegates on the question of emigration. He will ask the assembly to make an effort to have a bill passed requiring that each per son shall be required to have a passport issued by the proper officials of the country from which they sail; the passport to be signed by the United States Consul at the port of embarkation. The election ot general officers is not ex pected to come up before the middle of next week, aud while this matter does not seem to have created as much discussion as in the past, there is a great deal of interest manifested in it Of course the majority leel that Mr. Powderly will be re-elected without opposition, and the contests, if any, will likely be on the other officers. Speak ing of the meeting in a general way, Mr Powderly's official paper has this very in teresting comment to make: MEETING AGAIN WITH CONFIDENCE. This meeting has not been so widely adver tised in the press by means of stories of the order's impending disruption as were former meetings. A feeble attempt was made to start the usual annual story of dissension and dis satisfaction, Dut the falshood would not float, and the Pittsburg fabricator who started it of courso it emanated from Pittsburg relapsed into silence. Tno truth is that the order has lived down its detractors. With a steadily increasing membership, and with a very much larger proportion than ever before of members 'tuoso belief in its piinciples, and not their mere membership, constitutes their connection with the Order, the Knights of La bor can now treat with indiflerence the carping attacks of enemies, instead of the widespread distrust and dissatisfaction apparent two years ago, threatening as it did the decimation, if not disruption, of the order, the General As sembly meets this tiino with confidence restored and with enthusiasm as lively as In the order's palmiest days, CENTRAL TRADES COUNCIL. Arrangements 'With the Retail Grocers Progressing All Right. The committee representing the Central Trades Council, appointed lor the purpose of meeting with the Retail Grocers' Associa tion, reported to the Council last evening that they had met the grocers last week and that the prospects for a satisfactory arrange ment with the latter organization were very encouraging. Another meeting will be held on December 5, at which all labor organi zations are requested to be represented. A circular letter was received from the International Labor Congress of Chicago, containing a statement ot the aims and ob jects of tbe congress and requesting that delegates be sent. Delegates will probably be appointed at a future meeting. The salesmen were congratulated on tbe success ful termination of their strike. OFFER THEIE SUPPORT. Building Trades Council "Will Assist In Se curing Shorter Hours. The following resolution was unani mously passed by the Building Trades Council last night: That any branch of the building trades rep resented in this council which may feel it nec essary to demand a shorter working day shall have the earnest support ot the combined building trades unions. This means that the organizations will be ready to meet any opposition that may be made by the contractors and builders. To show how strong the workmen are it needs to be but stated that carpenters, painters, plasterers, tinners, slaters, tile layers, mar ble cutters, paper hangers, hod carriers and electricians were represented in last night's meeting. DIVIDED THE FUNDS. Conditions Under Which Marble Cutters Can be Called Union Men. Local Union 2711, A. F. of L., known as the Marble. Slate and Tile Layers' Union, at its meeting last "Wednesday night di vided the funds in the treasury between the Marble Cutters' and the new Polishers' Union on account of the latter body with drawing from 2711. All marble cutters, it was stated, after this date, who do not affiliate with the new Marble Cutters' Union, will be treated as non-union men. English Bakers Organize. The English bakers held a meeting at Ruppel's Hall, ou Smithfield street, last night and organized a union to be affiliated with the Federation of Labor. The new or ganization will comprise nearly all the En glish bakers of the two cities. Not Through Yet.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO LITIGAXTS A writ of certiorari was filed, yesterday, to take the record in the case of Frank Gerade, sentenced to death for the murder of his step-child, to the Supreme Court. Notice of the appeal was forwarded last evening to Governor Beaver, who has the case before him for the issuiiig of the death warrant. The hearing before the Supreme Court will not take place until it convenes in January, at Philadelphia, and as the Gov ernor's warrant will not be issued until the Supreme Court has given its decision, the signing of the death warrant, should the lower court be sustained, will be left for Governor-elect Pattison. AFTEE TWO BUTCHERS. Suit Tiled to Prevent Them From Conduct ins Their Business. John J. Essig and wife, residents of Hoggs avenue, Thirty-second ward, yester day filed a bill in equity against Christ Nusser, Sr., and Christ Nusser, Jr., butch ers. The plaintiffs state that the shop and slaughter house ot the Nussers adjoins their house, an alley only separating them. The wind coming up a ravine blows all the smoke, vapor, etc., from the butcher shop and Blaughter-house against the side of the plaintiff's house, de facing the building aud filling the rooms with smoke, making the house almost un tenable. The nuisance could be avoided by the Nussers building high chimneys or stacks, but, it is alleged, they have refused to do so. ' The Court is asked to issue an injunction to restrain the defendants irom their boiling, etc., and creating smoke and vapor until they adopt proper means to carry it off with out damaging the plaintiffs' property. An award of damages is also aiked tor. FAST FBD3NDS FALL OUT. And One of Them Snes the Other for At tacking His Character. Suit was entered yeslerdav by John Biers against Samuel Markowitz for $2,500 dam ages. Tbe plaintiff is tne owner of a meat store at Homestead, aud the defendant a dealer In groceries and merchandise at the same place. They have enjoyed each other's friendship lor four years, and were always on the best of terms. The plaintiff, however, says that the defendant sued him before 'Squire Oeffner, charging him with malicious mischief, alleging that he had gone at midnight to his friend's store and by causing an explosion bad blown the front of it out. The plaintiff was arrested, but at a hear ing was discharged. He alleges in his suit that he was falsely arrested and that his good name was injured and therefore sues for $2,500 damages. THE DIV0ECE MILL'S GEIHD. One Couple Untied and a Number of Others Willing to Be. A divorce was granted yesterday to Ida Gutenschwager from her husband, August G. Gutenschwager. New suits lor divorce were entered by Margaret Morton against Edward Morton, married in December, 1864; she alleges ill treatment and general abuse. Susanna G. Mallin against W. Mallin, alleges desertion on his part since June, 1883. They were married in April ot the year belore. In the suit of Alkley Busch against John H. Busch, W. A. Holman was appointed commissioner to take testimony. In that of Mary Stevens vs Alfred Stevens, W. M. Hall, Jr., was appointed commissioner, and in that of Marie M. Tyler vs W. H. H. Tyler, H. L. Castle was appointed commis sioner. SHE COULDN'T BE F0UKD. A Woman Wanted for a Second Speak-Easy Case Trial. ' The second trial of the case of Mrs. Louisa Engelman, charged with selling liquor without a license, has been fixed for to-raorrow. On the first trial the jury asked if they could put the costs on the prosecutor. Judge White at once brought them into court, and, saying that he was surprised that they should ask anything about the costs in such a clear case, discharged them. Mrs. Engelman bad been out on $1,000 bail, and a subpoena was giveu the Sheriff to notify her to be in court yesterday. He made a return that he could not find Mrs. Engelman, and the Court ordered that the trial be fixed for Monday, and if she does not appear her bail will be lorfeited. WANTS ANOTHER TRIAL. Plea of tho Man Convicted of the Death of Young Fitzgerald. An argument was heard yesterday on the motion for a new trial in the case of William Elderkin, who was convicted of voluntary manslaughter for causing the death of a boy named Fitzgerald. The boy was on the wagon of Elderkin, who, it was asserted, pushed him off. He fell beneath tbe wheels of a cable car, and died from the injuries received. T. M.

Closing Out Auction Sale Of diamonds, watches, jewelry, clocks, bronzes, silver nnd silver plated ware, etc. Finding that I cannot give the necessary amount of attention to two stores, I have de cided to dispose of my Smithfield street store and afterwards give my entire attention to the store at 36 Fifth avenue. Both es tablishments have large and complete stocks of goods usually carried in first-classjewelry estiblishtnents. The consolidation of the two stocks would be too large for one store, in consequence I have decided to close out my stock at 533 Smithfield street, at auction, and have secured the services of Colonel J. M. Rutherford, of Philadelphia, as sales mau. My stock is composed of over $75,000 worth of strictly first-class watches, diamonds, jewelry, silverware, clocks, bronzes, etc. This stock must be closed out as quickly as possible. All goods are guaran teed. I am not retiring from business. Alter disposing of my Smithfield street store,I will be located at 3G Fifth avenue. Sales begin Monday, November 21, at 10 A. sr., 250 and 7:30 P. 21., and will continue daily until entire stock and fixtures are disposed of, at M. G.
