"Will Prof. Koch's new remedy cure con
sumption? or is it another theory to rapidly
rise before the notice of the world, ami as
rajiidly fail to be heard of no more? That
is the question that now claims theattentioii
of the iueuic.il fraternity, and in fact, the
"iitire wor' 1. Prof. Koch's article in yester
day's UlsPATi !i was read by the majority
of "the physicians of the city yesterday, nut
they are. as usual, slow to praise or con
demn a theory belore they have a practical
example ci Us. merit or want or merit. 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."

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

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.

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.

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

A NUMBER OF SUITS FOE DAMAGES.
The Dongrlass-llyers Murder Trial to be
Commenced To-Uorrow.
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.

' The second trial of the case of Mrs.
Louisa Engelman, charged with selling
liquor without a license, has been fixed for

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. Marshall contended that the evi
dence did not warrant a conviction, and
there was a doubt as to the prisoner's ac
tions. District Attorney Johnston replied
that the case had been fairly tried, and there
were no grounds for a new trial. The
Court reserved its decision.

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. Cohen, Diamond Expert and Jeweler,
