Simmons started ithe ball rolling hy tendering hlsi resignation ns n mem ber of the executive committee of the society. In answer to requests for nn explanation ns to the ciiuk? of his no tion Dr. Simmons said that lie wanted to see the society remain true to Its constitution and by-laws. If they were good enough to adopt they were good enough to live up to, and If they were not good enough to live up to th?y should be wined out of existence. lie also deplored the shortness of the sessions and said If a thing wns worth doing nt all It wns worth doing well. In yke manner, If tho meetings were worth anything they phould receive the greatest attention from the members. Time ought to be given to thoroughly discuss and consider each paper rend, even though the members of the society had to make some personal sacrifice to secure the necessary time. The KoNlnntlon Withdrawn. In his opinion It was not profitable to physicians to leave their patients and Journey a long distance for a ses sion lasting only a few hours, where business has to be rushed through In haste that 'the convention may adjourn cn schedule time. He also opposed the practice of transacting business of any kind without consulting those to whom the society had delegated that work.

Invitations were received by. many yesterday to bo present at the trial of a fender on one of the Traction com pany's cars, which was to take place at 2 o'clock In the afternoon at the Linden street car barn. The fender Is an In vention by Patrick J. Casey, of Lu zerne street. The model was built by Blacksmith Mackfreth, of the West Side, but it did not arrive at the car barn until 3 o'clock, and, therefore, no trial was made. It will be necessary to equip a car with certain hooks and Irons to hang the fender on, and will require almost a day to get it properly attached to the car. It is overlaid with an un holstered cushion and appears to be a very practicable arrangement for pre venting trolley accidents. Master Mechanic Frank Wampler will leave for Philadelphia this after noon and will not return until the end of the week. He stated yesterday that no trial of the Casey fender will be made until next Monday or Tuesday. RAILROAD NOTES.
