rHlliADELrniA. November 19. Christo
pher L. Magee, the anti-Quay leader of
AVestern Pennsylvania, made a combined
political and business trip to the city tc-day.
After looking into some private matters, Mr.
Magee called on Collector Cooper at the lat
1ers office in the Custom House.
"When Mr. Magee went into the office he
was met by a coterie of local politicians,
among -whom rere Sheriff-elect Conncll,
Representative William H. Brooks, Chair
man Porter, Senator-elect Thomas and
others. The anti-Quay leader was ushered
into the private office of Collector Cooper,
with whom he reniaincfl in conference for a
short time.
The Allegheny Delegation to Caucus.
Alter the conference Mr. Magee sallied
forth and joined the croup of leaders who
Were at that time discussing the Speaker
slap. He was asked what the preference of
the Allegheny delegation is, and in reply
stated that as yet no one in particular had
been determined upon.
He was immediately informed that Mr.
Brooks vzs a candidate tor the euice, and
was asked if the delegation could not be
turned in for him. Without committing
himself Mr. Magee said: "1'he Allegheny
delegation will hold a caucus in a short
lime, and until alter that it will be impossi
bleor me to say whom they will support."
Mr. Magee was then spoken to regarding
the contest or the United States Senator
ship, and in reply said: "As far as I know
there is to be no contest. It is ray impres
sion that nearly everybody in the State
Wanti to See Cameron Kctnraed,
and we are doing our best with tliat end in
view. Another thing, the result of the re
cent Congressional elections is sufficient
evidence of the tact that there should be no
contest. "We need workers and experienced
men in the Senate, and I regard Mr. Cam
eron as a man well fitted for the position."
"What about the candidacy ol Mr.
Shiras?" was asked.
"Mr. Shiras is a gentleman weli liked in
Pittsburg and the Western pirtoi the State,
but I don't think he has a delegate."
"Do you think the autagonism to Quav
will have any material effect on Mr. Cam
eron, for whose re-election the junior Sena
tor is working?"
"No," replied Mr. Magee. "The Quay
and anti-Quay people are all for Cameron,
and there is not a doubt of his re-election."
The Democratic Society of Pennsylvania

Labor and Farmers' Alliance in making

CHANDLER'S APPEAL.
THE NEW HAMPSHIRE SENATOR CALLS
ON DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
To Qnell the Spirit of Revolutionary Vio
lence lie Says They Have Incited Cap
italists Especially Addressed to Use Their
Influence A Singular Entreaty.
IsrXClAI. TELEGKAM TO TUB UISFATCO.I
Cokcoed, X. H., November 19. Senator
Chandler made a singular appeal to the
Democratic leaders of New Hampshire in
his paper, the Monitor, to-day, under the
caption: "An Appeal to End New Hamp
shire's Peril." He addressed his remarks
to those whom he classed as millionaires.
After reviewing certain Democratic claims
as to the complexion of the next Legislature,
by which an apparent Republican majority
of 2 was to bo tnrned into a Democratic
majority of 12, Senator Chandler says that
Colonel Tuttle received more. He adds:
The revolutionary scheme which yon an
nounced has been taken up by tho rampant
Democrats; obstruction of the lawfnl officers
of the State is threatened; the intention to or
ganize two houses is freely uttered, and there
is such evidence of a Democratic plan to resort
to violence and to bring on civil strife, that the
Governor and Council are considering the
question of calling an extra session of the
present Legislature.
We appeal to you, gentlemen, to take
measures to allay the public sentiment which
vour pronunciamento has aroused. When you
bring aboct mob violence the railroads ard the
breweries, tbc factories, the lumber mills and
the banks will suffer as sorely as every other
hnslness iptercst. You can give quiet to the
State, and perhaps prevent an extra session by
signing and publishing your sober second
tbongbt in another manifesto.
Tho Union ill publish tho manly recanta
tion, and peace and prosperity will bo pre
served. Here, gentlemen, is the wise and
patriotic course. Rise above partisanship. Do
your duty as citizens. Let us have peace.
Your business cares will rest more lightly upon
you. Farewell, gentlemen. Do not say we
have not warned you ana have not given you
good advice.
SENATOE DOLPH'S VIEWS.
He Talks Politics and Saj s the Elections Bill
Will "ot Tass.
rsrrciAL telegbam to the dispatch.
Eichmosd, Ya., November 19. United
States Senator Joseph N. Dolph, of Oregon,
who came down from Washington to attend
the Masonic Scottish Rite reunion, was
asked to-day if he thought Lodge's election
bill would pass the Senate. He seemed to
be quite decided on that point He said the
reapportionment bill would probably be the
measure of most absorbing interest in Con
gress this winter. He thought the House
too large and unwieldly now, bnt he could
not say what sort of a bill would pass. The
Senate would be apt to concur in whatever
the Honse decided was best.
When asked if Mr. Blaine would be the
Renublican nominee in 1892, Senator Dolph
said that was too hard a question to answer.
He would rather guess on the question of
the Democratic nomination, although he
could onlv narrow that down to two, Cleve
land or Hill. He thought it would be one
or the other. He had long been a personal
friend of Hill. The two read law together
in New York. He spoke of Hill as a man
of great political shrewdness and of decided
ability.

Ameeicds, Ga., November 19. The
country is jut now interested in Judge
Charles Frederick Crisp, of Georgia, whose
home is in this city; and who is the leader
of the Democratic aide in the present House
In answer to my questions he said:
I expected that we wonld have a majority in
the next Honse of at least SO or 25, but such a
thine as a Democratic majority of 158 never en
tered my mind. 1 attribute the defeat of the
liepublican party to the tariff question and to
the fact that they seemed to fer for the lead
ers, and concentrated all their efforts in certain
districts, which, of course, weakened the others
very crcatly. Ami a candidate for Speaker?
ell, I have not cared to say anything about
that for publication, although I have
been asked to before. I am frank to
Bay. however, that I should like very much to
be Speaker, and may become a candidate, butjl
cannot say until 1 get to Washington and see
how matters stand. It may be possible, how
ever, that the Speakership will go to some
Western man. What do I think will be the
course of the next House? I think it will be
come once more a deliberative body, which, ac
cording to Mr. Reed, it is not now. The course
of the next House will be different from that
of the present Everjone will get justice, even
the minority."

Whtttler, Who Started Out With Good
Prospects.
rsPEClAL TELEQEAM TO THE EISrATCIT.t
New-Yobk, November 19. Dr. Frank
S. Whittier, a grand-nephew ot John Green
leaf Whittier, the poet, committed suicide
in the honse of his friend, Mrs. Anna E.
Cotter, 174 East Seventy-sixth street, Tues
day afternoon. Fifteen or 16 years ago,
when he first came to this city, he used to
board with Mrs. Cotter. At that time
Whittier was about 35 years old. He came
here from BostOD, where he was born, and
brought letters of introduction to several
persons. One was to Jim Fisk, then in the
height of his power.
Whittier had a medical diploma from the
medical department of the University of
Pennsylvania, but he had no practice and
was not in a position to sit down and wait
for patients. Fisk gave him a job in the
Grand Opera House. Afterward he got
work on the Erie Railroad as a baggage
master, and kept that place until a few
years ago. When the new acqueductwas
began he got a place on it as an inspector.
He lived at the Merchants' Hotel in Cort
landt street. He had professional cards
printed in the regular form, but he is said
to never have practiced medicine.
When the aqueduct was completed "Whit
tier lost his place there and war taken ill as
well. That was last January. He visited
Mrs. Cotter then and left a letter with her.
On Tuesday he called on her again. He was
ill and despondeut. He begced permission
from her to stav in ber house over night.
"I am ill," he said, "and I think I will
go to bed." He lay down, and at 4 o'clock
Mrs. Cotter took some toast and tea to him.
He asked to be called at 6. When Mrs.
Cotter went to call him he was dead. On a
bureau near the bed was a little vial three
quarters full of prussic acid. He had taken
the missing portion of the poison. The label
showed that the acid was purchased in St.
Louis and he probably bought it during the
time he was working on the railroad.

rSrKCIAL TELEOEAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
New Yoke, November 19. Miss Helen e
Franc, of the American and Foreign Edu
cational Bureau at 12 East Seventeenth
street, became engaged ten years ago, when
she was living in Baltimore, to a man who
was known as Count Kurt von Konsky.
The Count was a swell in the German so
ciety of Baltimore, and Miss Franc was an
attractive girl of unusual musical attain
ments. The Count went to Philadelphia,
where he wrote for a German newspaper,
and corresponded with Miss Franc In one
of his letters he says:
I cannot sleep; I look for rest, hope and men
tal satisfaction in the thought of you. Thou
life of my life, every pulse of my heart, every
thought of mind is yours.
Miss Franc sent him money with which
to furnish a house. In April, 1S80, two
weeks before the marriage was to take place,
Count Konsky disappeared and toot his
great passion with him. Recently Miss
Franc discovered that the Count was mar

If FECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISrATCH.1
Long Pine, Neb., November 19
Troops have been pouring into Rushville
all day and to-night. Sandy Prairie,
stretching away between that point and
Pine Ridge Agency, is dotted with troopers
who are making forced marches to
Indian strongholds. Besides their
regulation army accoutrements, the sol
diers have with them two Gatling guns and
one Hotchkiss gun. The companies now on
the move are H, B, C and D, Eighth Cav
alry, of Omaha; F, I and '.0, Ninth Cavalry,
of FortHobinson, and C, Eighth Infantry.
Troops have also arrived from FortNiobrara
and more are expected Lrom the hills to -morrow.
It is reported here that the Indians
at Pine Ridge Agency are still
dancing and growing daily more
sullen. Old Red Cloud has made repeated
efforts to check the fanaticism of the young
men, but he has at last been compelled to
leave his people to their fate. The soldiers
now marchingontheagency will not en masse
at any one point. It is probable that six,
companies will go into camp at Pine Ridge,
while the rest will be stationed within easy
call. On the prairie old Indian scouts and
trappers are coming into Eushvillo and of
fering their services againBt the hostiles.
BUFFALO BILL'S INDIANS ARRIVE.
One interesting feature of the present sit
uation was the arrival in Rushville to-night
of Buffalo Bill's troup of 42 Sioux, who
have just returned from a two-years' tour of
Europe. They are in charge of Major
Burke, old Jack Nelson, the famous scout,
and Jact Russell, also a pioneer guide for
United States troops. These Indians smoke
cigarettes, wear diamonds, carry silver
headed canes, and laugh at the idea of the
coming ol the Messiah.
Rocky Bear and Black Heart are the head
men of the party. They propose to see a
ghost dance, and it the new Christ is produced
there, then they will take sides with the
whites. It is hoped their influence will
check some of the fanatioism at
the agency. They cannot anticipate
the nature of their reception by
their people. Many are Inclined to believe
that the fanatical Sioux will believe that
they have been dressed up by the whites
and sent to the agency to stop the dancing
and antagonize the Messiah theory. If this
should prove true there will be no killing of
the fatted calf when the wanderers return.
TO COMBAT THE MESSIAH THEORY.
Major Burke and Soouts Russell and
Nelson will probably be pressed into
service by the Government. The Indians
with them are apprehensive of this ontcome
of their return at this time and of their at
tempt to combat the Messiah theory. Nel
son said to-day he was neither Indian nor
white man. He did not know where he
stood. His wife is a sister of Old Red
Clond.
There is a report to-night that the Indians
at the Eosebud Agency are frantic .oyer,- a
ghost dance which has been going on there
without cessation since late last week. Old-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse
and Two-Strike
are said to have been converted to the crazy
theory and are dancing with the rest. The
weather is favorable for the Indians to start
on the war path.
Ranchmen are taking extra precantions
against attempts to run off their stock, and
many have sent their families to the towns.
There are now at Pine Ridge and Rosebug
1,700 heavily-armed warriors. The soldiers
now in the field number about 700. It is re
ported by railroad men that a small war
party of Ogallala Sionx have kindled fires
in the hills and are running off stock.
SURROUNDED Br TEOOPS.
When the Indians in the Rosebud and
Pine Ridge agencies wake up to-morrow
morning they will find themselves surrounded
by the strongest body of United States troops
which has been mustered in the West
since the defeat of Geronimo. It can be
predicted that if some unfortunate act on
the part of the soldiers does not add to the
excitement of the redskins, the threatened
uprising will never occur.
RUSSIAN SPY IX AMERICA.
He and His Wife Attempt to Gain Secrets
Prom the Poles.
Minneapolis, November 19. Several
weeks ago Leo Heilpron, a Russian, who
claimed to be a Polish exile, suddenly threw
up his position as bookkeeper of the Co
lumbia mills in this city and disap
peared, leaving a wife who had ar
rived from abroad only a short time
before. Heilpron, it has since been dis
covered, tried for the last four years to se
cure the confidence of Frank Grygla, him
self an exiled Polish Count and President
of the Polish Alliance in the United States,
with regard to the society's secrets and the
channels through which the organization
has been furnishing aid to exiles of that
nation in Siberia, which, Mr. Grygla ad
mits, is the avowed object.
Madam Heilpron was left in apparently
pitiful circumstances, in a strange country,
and unable to speak a word of English, but
did not seem much cut up over her hus
band's departure, and evinced considerable
interest, by way of questions, regarding tbe
Polish Alliance, as soon as the Grygla fam
ily offered her substantial aid in snpposed
distress. This aroused Mr. Grygla's sus
picions, and letters and Cipher cablegrams
received by him direct from Warsaw proves
both .Heilpron and his wife to be in the
service of the Czar.
RUH ON A SAVINGS BANK.
An Unaccountable Humor Excites Hebrew,
Polish and German Patrons.
NEiiV York, November 19. In some un
accountable way to-day a rumor was started
that the Citizens' Savings Bank was in
trouble. Tbe bank's depositors are largely
composed of the poorer classes of Hebrews,
Poles and Germans of tbe East Side. A
crowd of anxious depositors swelled to
1,000 or more, and though each one as he
stepped up received his money, they became
so riotous that a squad of police had to be
called to preserve order.
President Quintard, at tbe close of the
day. said $100,000 had been paid out. Mr.
Quintard said the bank was all right. He
showed by the books that the bank had a
surplus of $1,400,000. There was $1,360,000
subject to cbecc at auy time.

DILLON AND O'BRIEN WILL STAND FIRMLY
FOR PARNELL.
Talk on Their Conviction im Ireland-Other
Leaders Express Devotion to Parnell
Irish Immigration to Canada Depending
on Her Treatment of the Envoys.
Buffalo, November 19. Mr. O'Brien
said to a reporter this afternoon: "As an in
dividual I have no hesitation in saying that
I stand firmly for Mr. Parnell. I see no
reason why I should not do so." Mr. Dillon
concurred in the statement, and added: "I
think an alteration in the leadership at the
present time would be a disaster."
The gentlemeu disclaimed any intention
to issue a manifesto or other document re
garding the matter. Regarding their sen
tence to imprisonment, Mr. O'Brien said:
We came to this country for a definite pur
pose. We will finish it regardless of what has
haopened on the other side, and we will return
to England when wo get through, regardless of
occurrences on the other side.
The Irish leaders said they would prob
ably return by the time of the opening of
Parliament, in January or February.
A cablegram from London says: Patrick
O'Brien and the other members of Parlia
ment who were convicted to-day have sent
telegrams to Parnell, expressing their fullest
devotion to him. Mr. O'Brien has also sent
the following to Mr. Parnell:
In view of my six months' sentence, my duty
to my electors and colleagues and to you Is to
resign, so that Monaghan may be represented
daring the coming session of Parliament.
MUST TREAT THEM WELL.
Irish Immigration to Canada Depending on
Dillon and O'Brien's Reception.
rerCIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
Ottawa, Ont., November 19. Major
Stevenson, of Londonderry, and E- R. Mur
phy, of Tralee, Ireland, arrived here to-day,
having passed through the Dominion to the
Pacific. They are the Irish representatives
of the British farmers' delegates sent here
at the expense of the Canadian Government
to report on the agricultural resources of
Canada with a view to promoting immigra
tion to this country.
In an interview to-day, they said that if
Dillon and O'Brien are treated here as
O'Brien W3S treated two years ago, it will
be idle to hope that Irish immigrants will
prefer Canada to the United States, and
Irish farmers at home, they say, read of the
reception given to their leaders by Orange
men, and thus conclnde that all Canadians
are their enemies. Naturally, then, they
act upon the wrong impression they receive,
and avoid the Dominion when they leave
home. Major Stevenson is a Tory, but
agrees with Sir. Murphy that their mission
to this country will be "fruitless if the Irish
leaders meet with hostility when they come
here. The general opinion is that they will
be well received.
GENEROUS FORBEARANCE.
Irishmen Will Not Attempt to Jndge the
Life of Their Leader.
Dublin, November 19. United Ireland
says in reference to Parnell :
Wo do not desire to condone Mr. Parnell's
grievous sin, but from Ireland, which he has
served so long and faithfully, with such dear
devotion and such magnificent success, he may
at least look for generous forbearance in tbe
hour of his trial. To his praise be it spoken
that he has not attempted to shield him
self by perjury. He yielded to a
temptation to which many great and wise men
have succumbed, since and kefore the days of
King David. He has atoned hy what, to a man
of his proud and high spirit, must have been
indeed bitter and humiliating. But to the

(SPECIAL TELEQBAM TO THE DISPATCIt.l
Elmira, November 19. A case of mur
der and suicide came to light to-day, a
startling and unexpected ending of an elope
ment of a few weeks ago, by the finding
of the dead bodies of A. L. Pierce and
Miss Lou Woodward in the woods near
Williwanna, a small station on the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad
near here. Two months ago PIerce,who was
married,was arrested in Elmira on complaint
of W. C. Woodward, who charged him with
abducting his daughter, a handsome girl of
17. Pierce was arrested at a hotel in this
city, where he and the girl were stopping as
man and wife. He was taken to Waverly
and tried on the charge and acquitted.
After being released, Pierce made his way
across the line'into Pennsylvania and the
girl attempted to follow him, but her father
interfered. She remained at home quietly
for about a week and then suddenly disap
peared with Pierce. Their dead bodies
were found to-day lying side by side, each
with a bullet hole through thf temple.

SPECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.I
New Yoke, November 19. Wall street
had a fairly comfortable time to-day. It
was shaken up a little early in the day by
distressing advices from London and a de
cidedly lower range of prices for American
securities in that market. It appears that
foreign operators were apprehensive of the
suspension of one or two Stock Exchange
houses; besides, the Bank of England
charged 8 per cent for money and an ad
vance in its minimum rate of discount of 7
per cent to-morrow was regarded as certain.
Other causes of depression were the refusal
of the Bank of England to discount before
maturity drafts drawn upon Baring Bros. &
Co. and reports, which were denied, that the
bank would call some of its loans.
The first prices for stocks followed tbe
London market, but that was the extent of
the decline. Contrary to general expecta
tion, the market did not become demoral
ized. It may have been artificially sup
ported, and if so, the work was done
adroitly. After the firit quarter of an hour
the market began to improve, and long be
fore 3 o'clock it was plain that some of the
bears had become alarmed. The principal
buying of stocks in 100 share lots, or larger,
appeared to be for their account. The ab
sorption of stocks by investors is smaller,
that is in fractional lots, continues, but
was less conspicuous at the advance.
BIO BUSINESS IN SMALL LOTS.
The amount of stocks that have been taken
up in small lots cannot be accurately esti
mated, but it must be enormous. There are
five houses represented on tbe Stock Ex
change which make a business of dealing in
fractional lots. They buy and sell those
lots at a certain variation from the regular
market, evenins up their proportions by pur
chases and sales in 100-sale lots. One of
these houses claimed to-day to have done a
business of nearly 200,000 shares within the
last week. The bulk of the business is in
buying small lots for small investors, who
have not been induced to part with their
holdings during the recent liquidation.
No failures were reported to-day,nor were
there rumors of any. The important news
was.of a partial change in the management
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
At the annual meeting of that company last
spring a party, consisting of C. P. Hunting
ton; J. B. Houston, formerly President of
the company; Henry Hart, the largest per
manent owner of the company's stock, and
several members of the so-called Brice
Thomas party, secured control of the com
pany and voted the Gould interest out of tbe
management and reinstated J. B. Houston
as President.
THE GOULDS GET EYEN.
Jay and George J. Gould were invited to
remain in the board at that time, but de
clined to do so, presumably for the reason
that their views as to the alliances which the
company shouldjmake were radically differ
ent from those of Huntington and his asso
ciates. The first named wanted to make an
alliance with the Northern Pacific at its
Western terminus, but Huntington and his
"associates "did hot approve oi that plan. The
street has believed for some time tbat Jay
Gould wonld find a way of interfering with
the plans ot the new management.
Whatever differences may have existed
have been disposed of, and the Messrs.
Gould and Russell Sage were to-day re
elected directors of the company in the
places of Colonel C. M. McGhee, Edward
Lauterbach and O. H. Payne. Mr. Payne
had never qualified as a director, having
been in Europe at the time of the election.
Mr. Lauterbach resigned as Yice President,
but will continue as counsel to tbe com
pany. His place was filled by tbe election
of Mr. Houston as Yice President and Gen
eral Manager, and George J. Gould was
elected President It is understood that the
active management of the company will de
volve, as heretofore, upon Mr. Houston.
The negotiations that have resulted in those
changes were conducted by JohnBloodgood.
BEASON TOB THE CHANGES.
The principal reason for making
the changes is said to have been
the new relttions which Jay Gould
and his associates have assumed
in relation to tbe Union Pacific Railway
Company, the western terminus of which
will soon be identical with that of the
Northern Pacific on Pnget Sound. It is
currently reported that the Gould party
have acquired an interest of several thousand
shares in the property. The stock, which
broke badly on Tuesday, recovered all of
the loss it sustained on that day.
It is believed that the Chicago banks will
follow the example of the Bostou and
Philadelphia Clearing Houses in tbe matter
of issuing certificates. Six or seven banks
in Boston have applied to the Clearing
Honse Loan Committee and have received
certificates to tbe amount of 51,300.000.
This will unquestionably enable that center
to transact its business without leaning
heavily on New York, as it has had to do
during the last day or two.
The foreign exchange bankers showed a
little confidence to-day, by selling a few
sixty-day bills, and for the first time in a
week or more, they bought a few commer
cial bills, especially cotton bills. Bankers
who have close relations with the South are
advised that the financial situation at New
Orleans is improved, through a freer move
ment ot loreign exchange. Bankers there
have made arrangements abroad which will
enable them to collect on their cotton bills
at three days' sight.
A CHAPEL ON WHEELS.
Korthern Baptists Will Operate a Car for
Missionary Purposes.
St. Paul, November 19. The Baptists
are to have a rolling tabernacle, a chapel on
wheels, which is to travel all over the North
west, carrying two missionaries. Tbe chapel
car is 60 feet long and 10 feet wide. At one
end a space about 18 feet long will be fitted
up for living purposes. The remainder of
the car will be fitted and furnished as a
chapel.
This car will run upon the extended sys
tem of the Northern Pacific and Wisconsin
Central Railroads and doubtless upon other
roads also. In the summer thenar will be
supplemented by a tent. The original sug
gestion and effective advocacy of this car
belongs to Rev.' Dr. Wayland Hoyt, of Min
neapolis. His brother. Colonel Gate Hoyt,
Charles L. Colby, of New York, and some
other gentlemen will pay all expenses of
building.

BOSTON SENDS TO PROF. KOCH FOR A
SUPPLY OF HIS CURE.
A Large Order Sent to the Hub Trom Pitts
burg for Some of It When It Arrives
Widespread Interest in Dr. Koch's Dis
covery. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.I
Boston, November 19. The recent re
ports in regard to Prof. Koch's great discov
ery have aroused much interest among the
medical fraternity in Boston. Theodore
Metcalf& Co. sent to the distinguished
Pr - for a supply of the lymph, in order
th' JpJi""",,, of Boston might make
siiuj6''fjjCj O jo """"d advisable.
Orders ilHi pjntt f -Jr-jo, -Wed by the
firm from a nuLwcOcg, YJ ent physi
cians, chiefly in Boston, cf V ,ome orders
came from distant parts of xw England,
and one large order was received from Pitts
burg. Most of those who desired a supply
are physicians who have made a special
study of bacteriology. Mr. Metcalf, in
speaking of the matter to-day, said:
There Is no panacea and very few speciQcs.
If tbe announcement of tbis new discovery
had come from almost anybody except ProL
Koch, it would not have received much atten
tion. But he is so eminent in the profession
that it has at once commanded widespread in
terest. When Dr. Jenner's discovery was
made, it was utilized here in Boston several
years before it made much progress in other
cities.
This new discovery of Prof. Koch's may drop
out of sight like Dr. Brown-Sequard's discov
ery, or it may perhaps realize tho claims now
made for It It is merely our duty to provide
tbe physicians here with the latest results of
scientific investigation. We do not know how
large a quantity cau be obtained, nor what tbe
price will be. Of course, it will be available
only to physicians.
SCARCITY OF LYMPH.
Two Thousand Physicians Leaving Berlin
Dadly Disappointed.
mr DCXLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.
Berlin, November 19. On account of
the scarcity of guinea pigs and other ani
mals, even cows, used in the production of
the Koch lymph, 2,000 physicians from
all parts of the world are leaving
Berlin, again disappointed at not seeing
Prof. Koch, or obtaining the lymph. Dr.
Wiltzoldt, of San Remo, and a physician in
Davos are said to be the only outsiders who
have received even small quantities of the
remedy. The public is again cautioned
against all physicians who advertise to have
the remedy for private patients.
There is a growing feeling of 'disgust
against the .Berlin physicians who have ob
tained tbe lymph through .Prof. .Koch s
generosity and are using it to further their
own interests, Tbe Tageblatt makes a strong
appeal to supply the hospitals instead of
supplying egotistical physicians, who are less
magnanimous than Kocb. Tbat there are
imitations of the lymph already used, is
evidenced by the fact that such an immense
quantity of syringes used in the injection
have been sold tbat there are none now in
the market.
EXPERIMENTS IN LONDON.
English Physicians Secure a Quantity of
Dr. Koch's Lymph.
rBT DUXLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.l
London, November 19. The British
Medical Journal states that it has learned
Prof. Koch has placed at the disposal ot
Watson Cheyney, surgeon of King's College
Hospital, and Dr. G. A. Herm, physician of
the Victoria Park Hospital for Consump
tion, a small quantity of his fluid, in order
that they may demonstrate the efficacy of its
treatment.
A demonstration will be given at an early
day. But the quantity of lymph avail
able at present 'is small, as Prof. Koch has
been able only to supply sufficient for the
demonstration.
LYMPH FOR NEW ORLEANS.
A Local Physician Who Heard Dr. Koch
Lecture Sends for tho Remedy.
New Orleans, November 19. Through
tho agency of Dr. Loeber and the Touro
Infirmary, consumptives will very shortly
be afforded the opportunity of testing the
efficacv of the reputed wonderful panacea
oi Dr. Hoch.
Dr. Felix Loeber was in Berlin during
the past year, and while there heard Dr.
Koch lectnre on tbe cure. Dr. Loeber has
sent for some of the lymph, and it is ex
pected that it will reach here in ten days or
two weeks.
EDITOR ARKET.L INTERESTED.

Tests Are Successful.
New Yoek, November 19. W. J.Arkell,
of Judge, will test the merits of Prof. Koch's
consumptive cure by sending a consumptive
patient from New York to Berlin.
Dr. George F. Sbrady, editor of the
Medical Record, and Mr. Arkell have been
discussing Prof. Koch's discoveries, and
Mr. Arkell agreed to erect a hospital in
this country for consumptives who will re
ceive Prof. Koch's treatment, providing it
is practically shown to be a success.

One Pupil Meets the Black Angel
But Five Hours After
Being Stricken,
SIX GONE FROM ONE ROOM.
Machinery of (be Board of Health La
Called Into Action to
STOP AN EPIDEMIC OP DIPHTHEEIA
Possibility of the St. Clair Schools BeiD
Closed Sown.
PSECAUTIONAEI MEASUKES AEE URGED
The Board of Health is seriously con
sidering the advisability of closing the St.
Clair Schools, Twenty-seventh ward, be
cause of the terrible ravages of virulent or
black diphtheria, which has been pro
nounced epidemic by the attending physi
cians. An officer of the Board of Health
has visited the schools and consulted with
the doctors, and some steps to prevent
further spread of the disease are expected
to be made at once. The residents of the
section are using disinfectants and are
watching every unhealthy symptom with
grave alarm.
Six children out of the primary room of
the schools have died one after the other iu
quick succession, some of them only having
been sick a few days. One child was brought
to Dr. McQuiston's office at 10 a. sl, and
before the doctor called at 2 p. si. the child
was dead.
Several new cases were reported yesterday
in the Twenty-seventh ward. Scattered cases
have also been reported in different sections
of the Soutbside and grave fears of epidemic
are entertained, but the number of cases out
side the district named has not been enough
to seriously call the disease epidemic on the
whole Southside.
THE FIEST FATAL CASE.
The epidemic in the southern portion of
the Twenty-seventh ward has shown itself1
suddenly and has many peculiarities that
have puzzled the doctors. The first case of
virulent diphtheria occurred two weeks
ago when a child from the primary room of
the St. Clair schools was stricken with
the disease. The child was taken
immediately from school and the attending
physician, when the case became serious,
called into consultation a number ol the most
prominent doctors of the Southside. Their
combined efforts were in vain and the child
died inside of a week. Five other children
from the same room and two babies died in
quick succession. Some lingered five or six
days and others died within three days from
the time when first attacked by the disease.
The six children did not sit near each
other in the schoolroom. Another pecu
liarity is the fact that the epidemic seems to
be mainly confined to the southeast corner
of the Twenty-seventh ward. A nambeVbf
serions cases have been reported in St. Claif
township adjoining this part of the city, but
it is in the little corner of the hill cited that
tbe disease in its worst form has shown
itself.
The patients have first indications of a
sore throat, which develops rapidly into the
worst type of diphtheria. It is called viru-!
lent diphtheria. The doctors are loth to call
it "black" diphtheria. They prefer io call
it by its more scientific name, "virulent."
2I0EB CASES EEPOETZD.
Two more cases of the virulent type and
a number of cases of sore throat were re
ported last night. The attending physician
said he could not tell just yet whether tho
ravages of the disease had abated, bnt yes
terday bethought the cases brought to notice
were not of such a serious character as the
others. The need for the utmost precaution
has not yet been removed.
Tbe residents of tbe section are nearly all
disinfecting their houses and are watching
with great care any indications of sore ,
throat. The Board ot Health was notified
and an agent visited the locality, and more
particularly the school. It is considered
imperative that some immediate means ba
taken to prevent tbe spread of tbe disease in
the schools. The Board of Health has not
had time to carry its investigation far
enough to decide whether to close the schools
immediately or not. One suggestion is
that the school house be thoroughly disin
fected as soon as possible.
The createst trouble to be feared is from
persons allowing what at first appears to ba
sore throat to go without medical attend
ance or examination. A case which ap
pears at first to be nothing but sore throat,
may be diphtheria in its primary stage,
when it should be treated to insure im
munity from death.
THE ORIGIN UNKNOWN.
The spread of the disease can hardly ba
attributed to a lack of the common sanitary
precautions, as the deaths have occurred in
some of the best and well-to-do families and,
those who try to take care of their health as
well as in the families of tha
poor or more lowly. Neither is it
thought to be doc to the drinking;
water, as the whole Southside uses tha
same water, while the disease is prevalent
most in one distinct section. The doctors
do not know what is the cause. Such cases:
of epidemic have long puzzled scientists,
and the only reason cited is that the diseasa
is due to a germ found in the air which arn
pears in a certain locality, no one knows
how.
Miss Carrie Mitchell, who died on South
Twenty-second street, was stricken with tha
most virulent type of the disease, which sha
contracted, or first noticed, on the train
while en route to Pittsburg. v
Numerous cases of diphtheria have been.
reported in the Allentown district by differ! J
ent doctors, vr. Sweeney said last nignl
that he had four new cases that were of tha
virulent form.
