An item appeared in yesterday morning’s TRIBGNE, reportea from the West “Lake Strect Station, etating that Alfred Dill, late of No. 79G Carroll avenue, had died of small-pox, after a week's illness: that Dr. Lewis had attended him, but that he was unaware of the nature of the dis— ease until after a consultation with Dr. Shumway, who pronounced it :a case of emall-pox. Also, that the . case had some alarm- ing festure ' in ‘that the melehhors who had visited the - deceased during his itlness were ignoraut-of the natnre of the dizcage. Dr. John R. Buchan. in a card to this paper, denies the above. He says that, as some person or persons had been reflecting upon the professional character of Dr. Lewss, he deemed it hut just to suy that Dr. Lewis had " called upon him Monday evening last, and that the two Doctors had visited the patient. but Dr.’ Buchan was of the opinfon that 1t was not small-pox, thongh Dr. Lewis thonght otherwise.

Thureday mornin; Dr. Lewis calied apon Dr. Buchan aguin, and sni it woe a_case of small-pox, and so reported it to the Heulth Department. Mre. Mary C. Dill, wife of the deceased, a1s0 writes a card, in which she statea that the facts were Teported witnout her knowleage or consent. Dr. Lewis had suspcctea small-pox on the 8th inst., but dechned to give an_ opinion, and she az tobis delay. Her busband had taken me; given by a quack some wecks before, which might Bave producea eruptions similar to emal!

Contrary to expectation, and the annonnce- ment of the day before, the tax cageswere resumed 10 the County Court yesterdny morning. In the onjections of Thomas Lyman and Rachel and Joei Prescott, the eame being that they had been as- sessed on property which did not belong to them at the time, but which subscauently came into their pousecsion, the objections were overruled.

TUE COMMITTEE ON GERMAN of the oard of Education met yesterday nfternoon for the purpose of considering the charges recently brougnt aguinst Mr. Widekind, 2 teacher of Ger- man fu the public schools., These charges are, in brief, that he furnished untruthful information to the Times that the Ion. Lorenzo Brentano nad rented a house of his on LaSalle street to be used for purposes of prosttution; and that, sccording to the allegations of the Stuats- Zeitung, Mr. Widekind: is addicted to cer- tain practices which cun only begconsidered a3 in keeping with n-loose system of morals. There were present at the' meeting Messrs. Prus- sing and Vocke, of the.

Hers was the unromantic name of Brown. She was meatly dreased in- black, wore onc of those taking English walkiug-hats, richly trimmed in materials of the same color. and. with her palc face and deep black eyes, presented an appearance calculated to impress the susceptiole.

Al that had ap- peared so far had been-published in the papers Wwith po names signed, and, as such, the informa- tion was wholly unoflicial, Mr. Vocke explained that it was ureed that the publication of the charges seemed to make it nec- essary for the Commitiee to tuke cosmizance of them. 1f Widekind had conveyed improper or untrue information to any paper reflecting on Mr. Brentano. the Commiitee should take prompt and decisive action in the premises, If, also, the charges of immarality against Mr. Widckind in the Slaals-Zeitung were sustaised, the Committee should tae the same sort of action..

Curcaco, July 13.—It fs & deplorable fact that tho citizens of Chicago are supolied with a more inferior grade of fresh meat than almost any other city in the countrs. 1tistrne that thousands of people here buy meat of peddlers and others who have neitner ice nor other requisites for handling meats, and who have mo reputation at stake, They buy crippled and overhested ammals, and hams that have soured 1n curing, all of which are wost unheathful end dangerous'food. The mar- Ket-men who have built ice-vauits, and have pre- pared themselves to carry on a legitimate busines some years ago, at {heir own fnstance, increased their license _tenfold for the purpose of having the city nnthorities employ competent ‘officers to inspect the markets and condemn all meats unfit for consumption. In this they Lave not succeed- ed. The writer, on visitinz more thun a handred markets in the city, has failed to find one tnat has oeen visited by s, Meat-Inspector within_the past two years. I there are provisions for Tiis matzer, for the suke of the heulth of the ity during this hot weather, it ceriainly onht to have attention.

While it s the practice to take cattle or hous off the cars or. from the road when they have traveled until they are tired. and the blood heazed, and slanghter them in tiat conuition, we shalf hever have yood meat. It shonid be the rale that they siand tielve to twen- ty-four hours, and be quiet and cool 2s possible before killing, and when killed shonld be bled im- mediately, while they are in_condition to bleed Treelys then see tant the carcass Is tnoroushly cooled'off and entirely rid of all animal heat before any curing procees s bezun; otherwise all the ice, ice-vaults, or other expensive preparations will never make the meat good. In most places in the old countrics this rule 13 rigidly enforced by Meat- Inspectors in authority, and, while they have weather as_warm_as we, by liaving the animal in proper condition before Slavchtering, the meat s kept for days even without ice, The worl can be done this’ way promptly, and certainly more easily and efectively than atany other time, and_without the expenditure of any money ortime in preparation.
