It is ndt infrequently the case that tho history ofa day inn Justice's Court furnishes what would be to many a vatuable lesson, Fro such neource the folluwing Ittle narrative was yes torday obtained, and the moral (for young men) which It tenches Is obvious: * In tho early part of Inst Auguat two young women went to n house on Stnte street kept by a woman whose nnine cuts no very important fzuro in the ease, and secured for themselves a couple of rooms, One of those women ans swered to the name of Ada Clifton, while bor companion used tho less romantic name of Mollie Morrls, Among Ada's most ardent admirers and — frequent visitors, and one for whom she seemel to have «special affection, was Mr. Edwant Spencer, n youlg men employed in the opern- Uve departinent of the Wabash Railroad Come Pany,—an engineer, or switchman, or something Ikethat. A few weeks ago Adu bade adieu to her Stato street home, and, 48 might be ox. pected, Edward's visits’ to that house ceased at tho anme time. Some aix days ago Moiile, in company with an attorney, visited the oilice of Justice D. Harry: Hammer, and Instituted © suit for garnishinent aginst Spencer, the party garnizhed being the Wubash Rutleoud Company. The platntiit’s etalm was for $00, and sho alleged na rea sons why = this amount should bo paid her by the defendant — thnt, at divers’ times during © tho months. of August and September, sho had advanced to pny the bonrd bits, ete. of Ada, tho mone intter’s health boing too feeble to allow of her belng self-sustuiniogs ang the plaintif Curthor alleged that sho bad also, at different thes, furnished Spencer with money with tho expecta: tlon that be was to repuy her for all tho flnau- cll agsistanee recelved by bimaclf and Ada at ber (Mollie's) hands.) og ‘The case cute up for trint at 10 o'clock yestor- day morning, tho testimony occupying about two: hours’ the. Moltle was tho first witness to take the stand. Bhe js .n brunott of prepossessing- appearance, and, whilo not cleguntly, was very neutly at- tired; and she wore # profusion of jewelry, In avivacions sort of way she swore to what sho had already stated nt tho institution of tho suit, adding that Spencer had represented to her thut he was out of employment nt tho time of bis yisits to “otr house,” and that ho would expend Bis money Invisbly ng soon us be struck 4 Job, The jandlady of tho house where the girls roumed stated to the Court that the rent for both had always Leen paid to her by Mollie, but wit+ neas knew nothin of any arringemont betweon tho girls and tho defendant, She had often seen. tho latter at the house, Speucer and Ada were tho only witacsscs to testify for the defense, tho testimony of each being simply n fint denial of the stories told by the prosecution, Adi swore that she had paid all her bills from her own money, nor would she thank any one clso to pay those bills. Spencer swore thit, while he was not a second Jay Gould or Willinm Vanderbilt, he had always managod. to pay his own oxpenses, and hind never been given tt eont by any womun, og J rendered against tho A judginont for 321 was defendant, Spencer, who fs a young man of about 24 years, has always Lorna i good charncter nmony his euiay ers, ‘This sult will probably be a lesson fo hin. . ‘The case will be appented.

THE PROPUCE MANKETS WEN AGAIN WEAK YESTERDAY, in spite af the freo prophecies that were mnado by tho knowing ones Thuradny that prices had gotten to the bottom, and of n rather widespread bellef that capitalists had tuken bold of the priu- cipal deals, thus mking It safo for ordivary mortnls to go on trading as tsual. Tho feeling was quite unsettled carly, and comparatively stoady Inter, though prices dropped through a’ considerable part of tho session, and closed at nearly the bottom fyures of tho day. Wheat declined two cents, closing at 95 for February, and corn about three-fourths of a cent, bioaing nt 41 for Miy, Pork declined 45 conts, but closed only 2215 cents lower, at $12.45 bid togFebruary.

Within tho past two or threo weoks, 05 every ono who reads tho newspapers must know, Cnieago and one or two small towns in this vleinage have been visited by what mlght bo ealled the trichinm plage Ina very mild sort of a way. Not twenty cases In all were reported, but tho number was more than sufliciently largo to Induces med- fenl men to make fresh researches regatding tho terrible malindy and to create not a little alarm and inquiry among citizens generally. One problem in particular on this subject hos) been offercd for solution, and that Is: Does tho flesh of a chicken or any gone fowl aver becomo {mpregnated =owith — trichine? = Seien- tists who havo investigated the subject agree that, whatever the origin of trichinac may be, a member of the porcine fuily Is sure to give ita camping grount fn its mus. cles whenever that member diets off rats and mice. 'The rats and mice obtain the Invisible but deadly antmacuim by eating sinall in- sects, but what theso Insecta are no one has yet been able to discover, However, as a hog hecoines infected with trichinw from eating rats and mice, the auestion naturally arises why does not a fowl become stullarly affected on the same dict, chickens and other fowls often eating nico with great relish? The medleal man of Tax Trinuxe was de- tailed to Investigate the question yes- terday, and’ he + could find 4 no one better able to post iin on the sublect of trlohine in general than Dr. Chalstinn Fenger. ‘That gentleman attended two or threa of the recent viethms to tho disenso In this elty,and next week will slay a dog which he has been feeding on the pork which floored hig patients, the ilesh of the dog to be subjected to the microscope fur oxperiement. It ts hard on tho canine, for the poor brute Is deathly sict, but it will add to Dr. Fenger’s already excellent knowledge on the subject. Z ‘The Doctor was found yesterday in the office of his residence at No. 120 West In- dlana street. Ho had just left the dinner tuble, on which appeared tho remnants of somo pigs’ feet, and was dividing his attention between a four-feet-long pipe and Dr. T. Spencer Cobbold’s great and stundard work on “Parasites,” in whieh work the subject of tho scribe’s quest Is com- pletely and relinbly handled. Before the reporter, after making the ob- Ject of his visit, known, could comment on the fact that ho lind observed pork, tn the shape of pigs’ tect, on tho dinner-tablo of the Doctor, the Intter volunteered the In- - formation that he never ate any ment that iad not been TESTED WITT A MICHOSCOPE, ‘This, of course, satisfactorily explained the presence of the uncertain pigs? feet. “Well,” sakt the Doctor, when asked if it. was possible for a fowlto become aifected with trichine, ‘that Is a question which has never been conclusively answered; indeed, the knowledge of trichinw, owlne to the fact of Its comparatively recent dlscovery, is far from belng thorough, ‘Tho first case of trichinw dingnosed was in about tho year 1855; but nothing Ike 9 generat kuyawledas of tha diseuse was obtained untl! about the year 1860,—only twenty years ago. Since that thne there have been more than a hun- dred able works .or papers on the subject; but these, or the experiments made in ‘con- ueetion, have led to nothing definit relative to the urlgin of trichine, We know that the hog gets the disease“by eating rats ond mice, but we do‘not know where the rats and imlea get” their supply,—very pratt from frisebta, but wo don’t now Just what insects. it has be almost satisfactorily settled that all carniv. orous ahimils are able to the affection, but {tisatso certain that animals not of that elass have been diseased with triehinw, For instance, a plke-fish, caughtin the harbor of a llolland town, was discovered to have its flesh hinpre nated with trichinmw,—tho re- sult, no doubt, of the fish having eaten of the offal thrown Into the harbor, If may or tt may not be possible for any animal that ents trichinie-afected meat to suffer from the disense,—we don't know yet. From the ex- periments thus far mada: the conclusion is that no fowl can become aifected In thls way. ‘The flesh of chickens, geese, and crows Which have been dicted party on trichine, and, afters proper tne, killed, has always shown Itscl€ under the microscope to be perfectly free from taint. ‘Iwo experi- inents of the seme kind have been made with sheep, the result belng. In the negative both times, But these experiments haye been tao few to warrant the statement that a fowl or auheep cannot become diseased with tri- chin.” “Has anything ever beon discovered, Doc- tor, which, will countoract the effect of tri- chime, or"kitl it, aftor it has once found ite way Into the muscles of 8 person 2” “No, sir; tho only thing for the patients to do Is to take quinine, If they are at all fever- ish, and to strengthen.themselyes on wincor wor. if they are able to stand the siege after the triching his found Its way into tholr muscles, all right; if. not, they die. -It is idjotic to preseribe either nn emetic or physte, oven In the first stages of the disease, when the patients are attacked by paling in, tho stominch and dlarrhen. ‘The trichinm is thon too fur down In the stomach for an emette to be of service, aud the other branch of the symptoms mukes it obyious that a physle is equally useless, “Butdo not tho trichinw continues to mul- tply, and, {ff so, why Is It that a patient does hut Gontinue to grow worse until relieved by jeath “ It is not true that the trichinm continues to multiply. 1. will explains Supposing n person eats 0 plece of pork in which are only a malo and a female trichina, These ara both Inclosed Ina capsule, and, unthl these capsules are removeds in’ the process of digestion, the trichinw enmnot breed, be- cause they ara sepurated; but, as soon ns these capsules are removed, tha female will become broxnaut for tho first nnd last the, and give birth to at least 10,000 young ones,— that Is @ sual fambly of children for a trichijue mothor,—and these young ones are stralghtway sen!
