King & Clcary Sub let the Contract for I.indon Street Approaches. King & Cleary, of Shenandoah, con tractors for the Linden street bridge approaches, have sub-let the work to Peter Stipp, the well-known local con tractor. The consideration Is not known. It was freely circulated about city hall yesterday that King & Cleary quit in disgust. They took the contract at a very low figure, a trille over $18,000, which was $3,000 under the city engi neer's closest estimate, and as the work progressed they realized that they would not be able to cope with many obstacles and come out ahead. Sume trouble was experienced In getting stone and a dispute arose over the dressing of the stone, which Inspector Peter Ross claimed was not being; done according to specification. A month ago Mr. Cleary threatened to throw up the Job and forfeit has bond, bo dis gusted was he with the course of things. He, however, continued working as well as was possible with the limited supply of stone until Saturday last, when negotiations with Peter Stipp were ciincluded. Mr. Stipp's derricks were being put' In place yesterday, and It Is quite certain that no delay will re sult from the change. FELL FROM HIS ENGINE. I.ncky Escape of Flreitfan Edward Franz of the D..

The Tribune will not be held re sponsible for opinions here expreased.J I THAT 1TSIISTORV. Editor of The Tribune. Dear Sir: That hysterical females are capable of various reputrnant acts, sui-ii ns pricklna- the miners, siu-kina; and swal lowing the blood, swuHowIng- excreta, etc., ho as to be able to vomit substances that would arouse grave- doubt and fears In the minds of their medical attendant -ind friends, is a fact generally well known to the medical profession. Some peculiar combination .of diabolical and hysterical Impulse must have actuated Mrs. Davloa, of Hrick avenue, when she placed a llsh seven inches lonir on a plate, vomited on It and then nave it to her unsuspecting and sympathetic husband to take to llr. Donne, who,' it Beems, was quite as Inno cent as the husband. In some such way the statements recent ly published In the Truth are to be ex plained. For certuln it Is that no womun ever swallowed a llsh -the length stated. And still more certain it is that no fish ever lived anil grew In the stomach or in testine of any living being. The human gastric juice secreted to the amount of from eight to fourteen pints in twenty-four tiours. contains fifteen parts of pepsin and five parts of hydro chloric acid to the 1,000. The toughest meats and most lndigestable foods are dis integrated and reduced to a pulp in from three to five hours. In the light of these cold, unchangeable and well-known facts Is this not Indeed "A Klsh Story?" As for the eehinococcus theory of a very prominent physician, it is equally un tenable. The tarnla eehinococcus or tape worm of a dog is an exceedingly rare para site In this country. Professor Joseph Treidy had none in his large collection of Intestinal parasites; Professor William Osier, of the Johns Hopkins hospital of Baltimore, has never met with it in this country, or does he know of its ever hav ing been reported. However, when It does occur It lays numerous eggs which are excreted by the dog and sometimes con taminate the food and drink of men and animals. These eggs each contain a very minute 6-hooked embryo, which freed from the shell by digestion either bur rows through the stomach or Intestinal wall and reaches the peritoneal cavity or the muscles, or, more commonly, It enters the portal circulation and Is carried to the liver, or It may enter the systemic ves sels and be carried to any part of the body. Once having reached- Its destination a cyst is formed, which contains a clour fluid. But that any solid substance that would be due to the eehinococcus is entire ly without scientific foundation. Again, the eehinococcus never develops In the stomach, as the following statlsti-s will show: Of 1.W1 cases, the parasite ex isted in the liver In 9.V1; the lung and plura, 153; the kidneys, bladder and geni tals, 186: the brain and spinal canal, 127; the bones, 61; the heart and vessels, 61. tf 60 consecutive cases treated by Dr. Mos ler, at the Oriefswald clinic, XS Involved the liver, 10 the lungs, S the right kidney and one the spleen.
