any street, alley, wharf or vacant lot, or
any other nlace not authorized as a deposi
tors for Buch matter, and a fine of from S10
to $100 or SO days' imprisonment is to be
imposed. In this connection Mr. Ferguson
presented a resolution yesterday requiring
Chief Brown to report the best manner ot
disposing of garbage in the Lawrenceville
district.
At the meeting of officials yesterday some
very important matters .were disoussed.
Chief Bigelovr was present and had some
radical suggestions which will be put into
execution. Dr. Lee, of the State Board of
Health, was present and commended the
action of the officials in high terms, but
joined with the others In condemning Alle
gheny's bad water and miserable' sewer
system.
ALLEGHENY'S MISERY.
Secretary Lee Inspects und Reports on the
Horrible Condition or the TVater Sup
plyDisease and Death In Every Drop
Danger Tor a Tear to Com.
The cleaning up of Allegheny continues,
and the authorities seem imbued with the
spirit of prevention of cholera. The chief
cause of scare now is the condition of the
water. Dr. Lee, of the State Board of
Health, declares that disease and death
lurk in every drop of it; that the
cholera scourge and other dread afflictions
are at the doors of the people; and that it is
only by the most extreme carefulness and
utmost cleanliness that disaster in the way of
an epidemic can be averted. Drinking
water should be boiled, he says, and put to
every possible test before .being used.
Mayor Kennedy says the nater is poison
ous, and should not be tasted. The Mayor
yesterday received the loll owing letter,
which explains itself:
Office State Board op Health i
Pittsburg. Pa.. Bept. 11, 1S92. (
To His Honor, V. M. Kennedy. Mayor or Alle
gheny: Sir In compliance with a request received
from your office jesterday, I to-day made a
personal inspection of the water supply of
our citv. As the result of m observa
tions I am compelled to declare that it is
polluted to an extent which makes it at all
times dangerous. Ilccolving as it
does the "own kg oi a population
of about 75,000 of Pittsburg's inhabitants
including that or one larjje hospital, in addi
tion to tho entiro drainaRO of the eastern
end of your citv and adjacent boroughs, the
almost stagnant pool from which the water
is pumped affurus an admirable breeding
place for diseased serais of every kind.
A sincle case of cholera occurring on
either shoro above tho influent pipe, might
and probably would be followed by conse
quences too'horrible to contemplate. The
wide extent of territory which has
lecently been infected by this con
tagion in Europe will render this
country liable to nn outbreak for
a year to come. In tho present threatening
condition of affairs, w hen every day brings
us intelligence of its increase in the princi
pal part of our country, it may make its ap
pearance here at any moment. To delay Im
mediate efforts to avert such a calamity by
carrying the lnliuent pipe to a point above
the city, which would auud the introduction
of thisgreit flood of flltli into your reservoirs
is, criminal follv. I cannot And words
to express myself strongly enough in con
demnation of such negligence. Nor do I al
low myself to doubt that the intelligence of
your citizens will support you in any meas
ures, whatever expense they may involve,
for averting the peril which now threatens
them, and it will, therefore, be unnecessary
lor tho board to issue any mandatory order
in the premises, which, however, it Is pre
pared to do, should occasion demand.
I have the houor to be, sir, vours respect

EOTTIMG WITH PESTILENCE.
Hamburg the Principal Keceptacle for the
null and Disease or All Enropr.
Dr. Charles F. Mnssigbrod, of Montana,
passed through the city last evening on the
limited on his vaj home from Germany.
He had spent several week with his wife at
Kiel and had returned via Hamburg. "When
asked what he thought of that city, he said
words, not even the most superlative dic
tion could attempt to describe the condition
of the people there.
"Hamburg," said Mr. Mussigbrod "reeks
with filth and disease at the presnt time,
and to tell the truth I never knew the
city when it did not There never was such
a pestilential hole in Germany, and for that
matter in any part of Europe. The lowest
inhabitants on the lace of the globe live
amid the dregs and germs of every disease
known to a physician, and the only thing I
wonder at is that Hamburg and its entire
population have not been swept off the face
of God's earth years ago.
"A carria;e drive through the streets of
the city is about the only thing that could
even give you a partial idea of the condi
tions under which the medium and lower
classes exist there. It seemed to me as if
ail the filth of the continent aggregated in
Hamburg. It is the only city on the other
side that I know of where sanitary regula
tions are totally ne;lected. Immigration
from that port should be stopped alto
pether, for it is only when least expected
that the worst form of some dread disease
may be planted in New York or some
other American port."
The speaker was a passenger on the
steamer Spree, and vividly described the
panic on board d urine the voyage across the
ocean and the subsequent experiences in
quarantine. Ue said he was glad to be on
his way home to a country where he co uld
breathe freer air than any in the world.

This Cholpra lTventative lias Been
Adopted In the County Buildings.
There have been a number of agitations
over the question of the impurity of the
water supply in the two cities, but the first
official recognition of the fact was taken by
the County Commissioners yesterday.
Jail Physician Chessrown addressed
the following letter to those officials yes
terday morning:
'Gentixmex Recognizing the necessity
for pionipt and hygienic sanitary measures
oer"heie, I would respectfully suggest
all flit eis or other lecoptacles for drinking
water in your county buildings be treated
with antiseptics and thoroughly cleaned by
boilins, then filled with boiled water every
morning tin u-o."
The commissioners adopted the sugges
tion at once and it will be applied here
after. It is expected this move by the
county officers will be followed in all other
public buildings, workshops, factories as
well as by the people generally.
Jinny Immigrants Arrive.
Five hundred immigrants passed through
the Union station yesterday. They were
bout.d for Chicago and had arrived from
Southampton on the steamer Britannic a
couple of days ago. Station Master Butler
and his assistant attended to their wants.
Kobody else was permitted to approach
them. The Pennsylvania Bailroad Company
have issued a circular to its employes to
disinfect all cars containing immigrants
niter their leaving them, and prohibiting
their having any contact with any out
eiders. Ttirsn Abused Damp Boats.
In speaking of Captain Tree's dnmp
boats yest erJay Mayor Gourlcy said: "Those
boats are the only outlet for the oftal of
the city. The garbage furnace cannot
consume the stuff and if Captain Free
did not supply the boats for the
purpose some other man would have to do
it. We roust have the dump boats. The
garbage is taken down the river for five
miles, which seems to satisfy everybody."
Ohio Also Alarmed.
Dr. a A Probst, Secretary of the Ohio
State Board of Health, sent a telegram here
last night to Superintendent O'Mara, of the
Police Bureau, asking him If he could con
firm the report of a death br cholera at
Jean net te. Superintendent O'Mara tele
graphed back that the Jeannette report was
groundless.
M'CLEARY MUST ACT
Adjutant General Greenland
Declares That Allegheny
County's Sheriff
HAS MT DONE HIS DUTY.
The Troops Are Tired of Staying to
Watch Homestead Strikers.
MARTIAL LAW WILL BE DECLARED
If the Civil Authorities Alone Cannot
rreserve Peace.
H03TESTEAD HEN HOLD A MEETING
Adjutant General Greenland, Brigadier
General "Wiley, Colonel William J. Rul
ings, Captain Harry Hall and Lieutenant
Colonel W. S. Horton, of fbe Sixteenth
Begiment, held a long and earnest confer
ence at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yester
day afternoon, and before the meeting
adjourned they decided to secure at once a
positive understanding with Sheriff Mc
Cleary in regard to the management of
affairs at Homestead.
General Wiley was authorized to confer
with the Sheriff to-day in regard to the
matter, and unless the Sheriff agrees to go
to Homestead and personally superintend
his deputies on duty there, General Wiley
will promptly notify the Adjutant General
and the troops will be recalled this week.
After the conference General Greenland and
his party visited the Exposition where they
spent nearly two hours.
Want to Send tho Troops Home.
"We are decidedly anxious to get the
troops away from Homestead," General
Greenland said last night just before taking
his train for Harrisburg. "The troops seem
to be serving a poor purpose there. They
are constantly subjected to insults and out
rages, yet they are not allowed to even de
fend themselves unless so ordered by one of
the deputy sheriffs on duty there."
"How do you propose to remedy the
evil?" was asked.
"That is just what we were considering at
our conference to-day," the General re
plied. "The troops were first ordered to
Homestead at the request of Sheriff Mc
Cleary, who assured the Governor that he
had exhausted his authority and was incom
petent to cope with the conditions that
existed there. As a result the troops were
ordered out to support the Sheriff, who has
ever since the first outbreak up there evi
denced incompetency.
The Sheriff Must Take a Hand.
"Instead of going there himself to per
sonally superintend his underlings, and
while he contends the troops are necessary,
he still keeps the soldiers subject to the or
ders of the deputies. While the civil laws
are being broken and outraged the militia
must stand idly by without authority to
act unless called upon by one or more of
the Sheriff's deputies.
"We cannot longer support the Sheriff
unless the Sheriff makes some effort to sup
port himself. I had a conference with him
a week ago and he then said pos
itively that he would promptly
inaugurate a new policy and would arrest
and punish the disturbing element at
Homestead whether they be men, women
or children. 2Jow, we have deeided that
he must act at once. We must insist upon
his disposing of the disturbing element by
arresting them.
Jtlnst Go to Homestead in Person.
"We must insist upon his going to Home
stead in person. He is the authority that
we are there to support. If it is then found
that the Sheriff's power is not strong enough
we will assist him by surrounding Home
stead with martial law, after which
we will assume all responsi
bility for good order and quiet
"In mv judgment Sheriff McCleary conid
select 25 deputies that would, under his
own personal direction, preserve the peace
at Homestead."
'Do vou contemplate anv trouble at
Homestead?" "
"Ko. I am confident that even a showing
of authority on the part of the Sheriff would
guarantee good order. We have enough
troops on the ground now to preserve the
peace in the event the Sheriff failed."
"Do you seriously think of withdrawing
the troops from Homestead?"
Troops Anxious to Get Away.
"We are very anxious to get the troops
away from there, and the troops are just as
anxious to get awav, but we will wait now
until we see what the Sheriff proposes do
ing. The trouble should have been settled
long before this time."
Captain Hall said that while on provost
duty the other day he saw a committee of
the locked out men approach sev
eral deputies and almost forcibly
take one of their number to the Amalga
ted headquarters. After the man had been
taken away the other deputies rushed to
him and asked him to order out his men
and rescue the deputy frm the A malga
mated people. I refused to act in the mat
ter then, Captain H3II said, "because their
several deputies had authority to act for
themselves and they refused to make a
move when the committee took one of their
number away. For my own part," Captain
Hall concluded, "I am getting tired sup
porting that kind of deputies."
A QUIET DAY AT HOMESTEAD.
The locked-Oat Men Hold a Meeting in
the Kink Three, Men Arrested The
Troops To Do Taken From Duqaeine
New Workmen in the Mill.
The locked-out men of Homestead held
an indignation meeting in the rink on Fifth
avenue yesterday afternoon. Ko outsiders
were allowed to be present After the
meeting the men would not say what had
been done, but it was understood
that a number of speeches were
made and the men urged to stand
fast in their present position. It was re
ported that one of the speakers, John
Koyle, spoke of Homestead as being the
dumping ground of the earth. He is said
to have stated that first the Pmkertons
were brought there. The militia were next
sent in and then the scabs or non-union
men were engaged to work the mills. Con
tinuing, he stated that the present filthy
condition ot the mills would invite disease,
and the Carnegie Steel Company would be
held responsible for an epidemic of cholera
or some scourge as bad. Another speaker,
Dr. Osborne, is said to have devoted his
remarks to the condemnation of Superin
tendent Potter. t
Three arrests were made during the day.
In the afternoon some man from Freeport,
who had been at Homestead just before the
strike, returned. As soon as he was recog
nized he was assaulted by a number of men.
He made complaint to Colonel Gray, who
sent down Deputies Ferguson and Bowman.
Thev arrested John Fitzsimmons and Peter
Moore. Fitzsimmons resisted and the.
deputy was compelled to cover him with a
revolver before he would submit. Both the
prisoners were brought to Pittsburg last
evening. William Baird was taken into
custody for aggravated riot on information
preferred by Secretary Lovejov.
Companies E and F ot the Sixteenth
Begiment, that have been stationed at
Duquesne, will be brought to Homestead
to-day. The proposed rearrangement of
the Sixteenth Regiment's camp was the
talk in the camp yesterday, but Colonel
Huling submitted the question to a vote df
the troops, and it was decided to make no
change itr- the present arrangement of the
companies on account of the arrival of the
two from Duquesne) but station them on
the hill above the others.
Superintendent Potter said last evening
that the tonnage system was not put into
effect yesterday as intended. The change
'will not be made within ten days or two
weeks. Sixty new men arrived in the mills
yesterday, and the five Amalgamated men,
who had promised him to return last Satur
day, came in and were given wort, though
some were given new positions, as their old
ones were already taken. He further stated
that while there were nearly 3,000 men
working in the mill, only about 600 slept
within the board fence.. The others used
the-company houses on the outside and on
the hill above for sleeping quarters.
Thirty-five families now live in the
houses north ot the railroad, but within the
mill yard. The men went about the
town freely yesterday and were not
molested. It is intended to issue single
meal tickets to the non-union men in a day
or two and thus do away with the necessity
of going about in squads, as it is thought
if the deputies do their duty no trouble
will be experienced. . ' t
INSPECTED THE BILL.
Board of Health Official Examine Into the
Sanitary Condition nt Itompstsad.
Dr. J. H. McClelland, President, and Dr.
Lee, Secretary and executive Officer of the
State Board of Health, made an inspection
of the Carnegie mill at Homestead, yester
day. For some time past the board has
beea receiving numerous complaints from
Homestead citizens about the sanitary con
dition inside the mills. The letters stated
that the mill was a place breeding pestilence,
and tliev asked the board by their authority
to prohibit the men employed there to
enter the town of Homestead. These com
plaints became so numerous that Drs. Mc
Clelland and Lee thought it best, to make a
personal investigation. They went in the
interest of no one except to satisfy the
board what the true condition was. All
yesterday afternoon the two gentlemen
tramped about she mill and the surround
ingjlistrict making a thorough examination.
"We found the place in good sanitary
condition," said Dr. McClelland. "We
did not examine into the condition of
Homestead proper as that does not come in
our bailiwick. We found that the sickness
among the men was not caused bv the sani
tary condition of the place, but by the
water they drank. Although good pure
well water is provided in the mill, they
will persist in drinking water just as they
draw it from the river. J don't wish to
anticipate the official report on this subject
which will be filed soon, but you can say
that we lound everything in very good con
dition." THEY . CONFUSED THE JUDGE.
Two Bright lawyers Drift Into a Discus
sion on Botany in a Trial Before Magis
trate Gripp A Palm Iear Causes the
Trouble.
An amusing and interes.mg hearing took
place before Alderman Gripp yesterday in
the suit of De Mortinie, an Italian mer
chant of Water street, against the St. Peter
Italian congregation of Pittsburg. John
Marron appeared for the merchant, and W.
J. lirenneu represented the congregation.
The claim against the congregation was
for 572, for palms supplied for Palm Sun
day some months ago. The palms supplied
were of an expensive kind and about 1,500 in
number. But 'little testimony was taken.
The merchant said he had furnished the
palms. Representatives of the congrega
tion testified that the palms were too
expensive.
Both the attorneys made earnest speeches.
None of those present say the magistrate
could understand English, hilt the lawyers
talked just the same. Finally they
drifted into a discussion of the
palm, a specimen of which had been offered
in evidence. Mr. Brennen alleged that the
palm supplied was for making fans and was
not intended for free distribution in
churches. This amused Mr. Marron. He
alleged that Mr. Brennen was not well
posted on the kind of palm
supplied to church goers. Then
taking the specimen of palm in his hand,
and looking earnestly into Judge Gripp's
face, he traced the history ot the palm from
the discovery ot the first discovered sprout
in Brazil to the picturesque fan of the
heathen Chinee.
In response Mr. Brennen aired consider
able knowledge of botany. He contended
that the palm was first discovered in the
jungles of Africa, and he argued that $72
worth of the article would be sufficient to
supply the congregation of the cathedral in
Borne.
Judge Gripp finally stopped the discus
sion by saying that be was not interested in
the discovery of the palm but the argu
ments had so confused him that he would
reserve his decision in the case until Satur
day. WITH THE CIBCUS.
Forcpangn's Great Exhibition of Brilliancy
and Splendor Brr.
Adam Forepaugh's show is here in all its
brilliancy and splendor. Twice yesterday it
held immense audience for over two hours
each time and they would have been glad to
have stayed longer.
The exhibition opened .up yesterday
morning with a grand street parade, more
splendid than Solomon ever dreamed of.
The cavalcade was attractive, but compared
with what transpired inside the world of
canvas, it was but a drop in the great
bucket of beauty and amusement. From a
point of beauty and excellence, the great
spectacular production, "The Fall of
Nineveh" has no equal. The display
is perfect and to witness it
one cannot help but feel that the
author, artist and designer has
reached a degree of perfection seldom at
tainable. The music is the sweetest and
the costumes and armor the most dazzling.
The ring and the stage abound this year
with new and pleasing attractions. Many
prominent American and foreign artists are
appearing in Pittsburg for tbe first time.
Among these are the Australian rider,
John Cozzens; the Bosarier brothers,
James Irwin, George Arstingstall
and his trained elephants, Tommy
and Bobby, the funny boxers
and the Yadis sisters, the aerial queens.
The closing part of the programme is the
great hippodrome track races in nine events.
It is interesting and pleasing. The attend
ance to-day will no doubt be larger than
yesterday.

need some alterations, being too wide to

In a week or so Colonel Elkins will put a

WIIITELAWEEID EETUBKB TO NEW I0BK
To-morrow the Presidental campaign in
Allegheny county will be formally opened
by the county Democraoy picnic at Silver
Lake Grove. There will be no imported
orators at the Silver Lake outing, but all
the local talent will be present, and in
addition to some few other things there will
be a variety of Jacksonian speeches.
The Republican leaders will make no
effort to open their end of the campaign
until after the meeting of league clubs at
Buffalo next week. The Tariff Club will go
to Buffalo in a body. It was announced
yesterday that not less than 130 members of
the organization would go to Buffalo,and on
their return they will hold the first Repub
lican demonstration of their campaign.
No Word From McKlnlojr.
Governor McKinley has not yet decided
whether he will come to Pittsburg to make
a campaign speech. He will, however, ad
dress a gathering at Washington, Pa., the
latter part of this month, and Harry Oliver
has been delegated to go to Ohio and, if
possible, induce the Governor to 'make a
speech in Pittsburg the night following his
effort in Washington county.
"Has there not been some delay in open
ing the campaign?" was asked Chairman
Gripp yesterday.
"Ko, sir," he responded, with emphasis.
"The time for opening the national con
test as far as Allegheny county is con
cerned never arrives until late in Septem
ber or early in October. I am confi
dent the people do not want the
fight to open before that time. The busi
ness people won't stand a long drawn-out
fight. It destroys all business and is just
as unsatisfactory to the politicians as it is to
the business people.
"We have had our headquarters opened
for two weeks, and we have been doing the
work that counts in a fight. Five clerks
are constantly at work there, and we have
been devoting our energy and efforts to
looking after taxes, registration, naturali
zation and education. We do not contem
plate nruch of a fight in this county, and
the campaign will not be oyer five weeks in
length."
Hopeful Chairman Brennen.
Chairman Brennen said yesterday that
he had not yet decided when the Demo
cratic headquarters will open. He said,
however, that the County Committee had
appointed all the necessary sub-committees
and that all the preliminary work
of the contest was being carefully
watched. "We have already held
several meetings in this county.
Two of them were surprisingly large and
enthusiastic." Mr. Brennen said, "We
have reports of several large clubs being or
ganized, and we are perfectly content with
the outlook."
Both Chairmen seem cheerfully confident,
and both seem anxious to have the opening
of the campaign delayed as long as pos
sible. OH HIS WAT TO HEW YOBK.
TThltelaw Held Passes Thronsh and Speaks
of the Coming Campaign.
Whitelaw Beid passed throngh the city
last evening on the fast line Bast on his
way to New York from Cedarville, O.,
where he had been visiting his mother. He
had very little time to say anything and as
he put it himself be had "very little to say
anyway." As far as he could see he be
lieved the situation unchanged. The
Democratic party were where they had
been before the convention. They had
made no progress whatever, while the Re
publican party had gained much in every
direction. The benefits of the McKinley
bill were everywhere noticeable, no matter
what might be said to the contrary, and the
best evidences of its usefulness had been
given before now to every Democratic man
ufacturer if they would only admit the
truth.
As it was, they were fighting for free
trade altogether, but in the event of the
success ot the Republican party, which was
pretty well assured, they would readily ad
mit the benefits of such a statute law upon
American trade. "Let us hope." said the
nominee, "that Pittsburg and the State of
Pennsylvania will come up to expecta

A FEOOXIAB PB0DOCT.
Steel Manufactured In Sweden Surpasses in
Elasticity That Made In America.
James L Gulick, general manager of the
Mogul Manufacturing Company of New
York, was at the Duquesne yesterday.
During an interview with a Dispatch re
porter he produced a specimen of Swedish
steel possessing an extraordinary amount oi
elasticity. It is the product of a trade se
cret altogether unknown to the steel indus
try of the United States, and one that is
being sought after now by almost every
manufacturer in the country. It is used
principally in the making of springs, nota
bly the "Loom," which preserves its elastio
nature and perfect condition for an average
period of2Ji years.
The use ot steel of this character has been
largely sought after by electrical corpora
tions, particularly in the street car lines, for
the past 12 months. The fact ot its ex
istence and its peculiar nature is un
known to a great extent at present.
Mr. Gulick has for a considerable
time been looking for an American product
equal to the article manufactured in
Sweden, but so far he has failed to find it,
notwithstanding several manufacturers have
attempted to produce its equal. This
steel, which is principally in wire
form, has a tension power of 17 pounds
in the trolly of a street car, which is more
than four times that of the ordinary Amer
ican steel. Made into a rope six feet long,
it possesses on elasticity that permits of its
being drawn to an 18-foot length and re
tracting to its normal length within a quar
ter of an inch.
The use of this steel is becoming preva
lent among the fire departments ot many
cities, and for the relief of horses in
drawing heavy loads. An ordinary spring
of snch caliber enables an animal to draw
four times the average of an ordinary load.
Mr. Gulick, who is a brother of B. M.
Gulick, manager of the Bijou Theater, was
manager of the gigantio electrical exposi
tion in Montreal last year.
LOST HIS BE1DE.
He Thinks She Has Gone to Join the
Circus.
William Arent, a Hebrew, of Colwell
street, called at police headquarters last
night to enlist the services of an officer in
Sliding Mrs. Arent, who had left him in a
summary manner yesterday. Mr. Arent is
26 years of age and his wife is a year
yonnger. They were married only a month
ago and had just settled down to domestic
life after a honeymoon. He is a porter in a
warehouse downtown and left his home
at the usual hour yesterday morning.
He did not return until the evening, and
fully expected to find the usual evening
meal and be welcomed by his wife, but his
hopes were dispelled on entering his door.
No wife was there, and what was more, the
house was barren, stripped of all his house
hold belongings.
He began an investigation, and learned
that a wagon, probably of a" second
hand dealer, had been used early in
the day to cart his stuff away and that Mrs.
Arent had not been seen all afternoon.
Mr. Arent remembered that his wife had
onco expressed a desire to join a circus, and
as there was one in town yesterday, he
jumped to the conclusion that she had gone
in the direction of the show. At least he
so expressed his fears to the police of both
this city and Allegheny. They tried to
allay his fears by the suggestion that she
had only gone to witness the snow and
.would return in time. He went home dis
consolate.

Two young ladies went to the reunion of

Turner Hall to hava a good time. They
got into a rather heated argument about the
exact location of a uniformed young gentle

hair pulling match, which ended in

DR. H0D6ES HOME.
He Is Held In Quarantine bat Did Not Find
It Disagreeable Perfunctory Manner of
Dlslnfeoting Snblocts of His Coming
lectures.
Bev. Dr. Hodges, of Calvary Church,
East End, arrived home yesterday morning
from his summer vacation which he spent
in England. He was held at New York in
quarantine two days, but says the experi
ence was not in the least disagreeable.
"Coming across," Dr. Hodges continued,
"the sole topio of conversation was the
cholera. We had the reports of the scourge
before we sailed, and tbe anxiety we expe-
rienced about cases breaking out on board
was far from pleasant. Although the offi
cers assured us each day that everything
was all right, we could not help feeling
nervous about the matter, as we knew well
that even ii the disease did appear on board
everything would be done to keep the fact
from the knowledge of the passengers.
When we were about 300 miles oat from
New York a pilot boat came alongside us
and threw us a large bundle ot New York
Jiapers of the Monday before. Then we
earned of the scare on this side of the
water.
"In quarantine everything was done to
further our comfort There are only two
points which I could criticise; one was the
steamship company keeping us in ignorance
of what they proposed to do with us, which
made us very anxious; tbe other was the
laxity on the part of the inspectors who
weresupposcd to disinfect the trunks com
ing from the continent. These officers
lifted up the lids of the trunks and sprinkled
in the corners only a few drops of some
colorless liquid they had in bottles. If
quarantine is to be followed at all, it should
be done thoroughly and not in a perfunc
tory manner. The opinion I formed of Dr.
Jenkins was that he was an exceedingly
energetic man, trying to do all in his power,
but lacked the executive ability to manage
matters in'an affair of this kind."
Dr. Hodges will remain'home for three
Sundays when he will leave to attend the
General Conventfon of the Episcopal Chnrch
in Baltimore on October C The subjects
for the Sunday night lectures for the next
three Sundays are: "Church Life in Eng-
land," "Oxford Past," "Oxford Preseut.'
AfterDr. Hodges returns he will discourse
upon tbe great cathedrals of England.
Had His 1.03 Broken.
Frank Fisher, of Thirty-eighth street,
who works on the 18-inch mill at Carnegie's
Thirty-third street mill, was injured se
verely yesterday by having a pile of iron
fall on him. His knee cap and leg were
broken. He was removed to St. Francis"
Hospital.

lishment was slight.
