GAVE UP THE JOB.
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.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
i

nunie. 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
