The will of the late Fielding Robinson, leav- ing his estate to his wife and children, was also filed, Injunction Granted. In the Equity Court yesterday Judge Cox granted an injunction in the case of Kets Kem- ethy against Moore & Ledding. The complain- ant in his bill, filed by Mr. A. K. Browne, sets forth that he occupied the rooms in the second story of 1109 Pennsylva- nia avenue and the defendants the lower story, and charged that defendants placed a si; bearing the firm name with the word je in such a way as to interfere with the light of his rooms, The defendants denied that they had so placed the sign, and asserted their right to maintain it where it had been placed. After argument by Mr. W. E. Meloy for defendant and Mr. Browne for plaintiff the court granted the injunction. a Raid on a Disreputable House. Saturday night Policemen Bailey and Nelson raided the house of a colored woman named Lizzie Clayton, on 133¢ street, and arrested her and Tom Harris and three colored girls. Yes- terday in the Police Court Lizzie forfeited $25 collateral, Harris and the three girls were tried for vagrancy. Lawyer Moss appeared for Harris and argued that he was not a vagrant, but worked for his living. Judge Miller said he didn’t care if Harris worked and earned 340,000 a day. If he lived in a bawdy house he was still a vagrant of the worst character. A man who lives in such a place is ten times worse than the woman who keeps it. Harris and the three girls wege given ninety days each in de- fault of bonds, Militia Officers’ School of Instruction. Ageneral order has been issued from the headquarters of the third battalion of the Dis- trict national guard announcing that an offi- cers’ school of instruction will form part of the military organization of the third battalion. The officers of the battalion will meet for the purpose of organizing the school on Monday evening, January 20,140, in the “ofticers’ room” at the armory; the school will assemble p.m. ou the third Monday of each month in the “officers’ room.” The lead- ing purpose will be the thorough instruction of Officers in tactics, the discussion of military matters generally and the introduction and dis- cussion of such other topics as from time to time arise and regarding which tuformation should be general. —— The Lovejoy Case.

Then he plunged into & mass of mathematical terms, The ustrono- mers were patient but skeptic: ‘They were ling to be convinced, but they didn’t think could be, The tall, gaunt figure of the demonstrator, his long, lean foretinger shaking in emphasis, lent a tense interest to the scene. “Then,” exclaimed the demonstrator, tri- umphantly, after talking for some time, “my proposition is proved.” The others didn’t see it and demurred, whereat Dr. Goodwin de- clared that they were prejudiced and drew a diagram out of his pocket to prove it. A PRACTICAL WAY, After a good deal of talk Prof. Frisby pulled two pieces of paper from his desk, a square and acircle, both, he said and proved, of the same circumference. According to Dr. Goodwin's theory they should have been of the samearea. A pin'was thrust through the centers of the two figures, the square on top. Each corner of the square overlapped the circle about three- eighths of an inch.and there were four segments of the circle visible, each about two inches long. With the four corners cut off the former square was visibly smaller than the circle, and on being placed on the overlapping segments the corners clipped off were found’ to be con- siderably smaller, In short, there was an ocu- lar demonstration of the t that the square was much smaller than the cirele. TH IT WAS A TRICK, The exhibition of this simple proof roused the doctor's ire and he indignantly exclaimed that it was a put-up job, that the circle and the square had been drawn to suit the convenience of the astronomers, and he drew forth a copy of Loomis’ geometry, which he quoted to show that he was right, and occasionally arguing to show that Loomis was all wrong. Whenever one of the committee would attempt to make him say whether he considered the square to be as large as the circle he refused to answer, saying that he was not there to be interrogated. THE TRIAL BY WEIGHT. The climax came when Mr. Skinner said that he had weighed the circle and the square and had found the former to be heavier and there- fore larger, This amused the doctor, who wanted to know how long since scientists had taken to applying specitic gravity to lines and gels. Prof, Eastman beeame bored at last and told the doctor that he did not think he had demonstrated his proposition and that he did not think he could prove it if he should talk forever. He added that he was willing to make a report if the doctor wished, but the latter shragged his shoulders and said he guessed he didn’t want one. American Fraternal Circle. The following list of officers were duly in- stalled into oifice in Golden council, No. 42, American fraternal circle, last evening in Golden Cross hall, by Deputy Supreme Chan- cellor Fred. E.

From the New Haven Palladimn, Prof, Marsh, president of the National acad- emy of sciences, and Director Powell of the United States geological survey, are charged by Prof. Cope with having made the latter de- partment a political organization, filled it with pet appointments, disarmed criticism by sub- sidies, &e. Prof. Marsh is charged with having rece the creditof work performed by his subordinates, with ignorance and incompe- tence. According to the stu ats of this in- furiated Pennsylvanian, the xcademy has been packed in the interests of the Powell regime, Prof, Marsh of Yale may dismiss the sensa- tionel charges of Prof. Cope, with the con- + his antagonist is not one of suf- ute as a Wise man and of good judy- arin the sage of Yale or endanger the r's reputation on either side of the water, ‘The truth scems to be that Cope is a disap- pointed scientist of a good deal of ability. He is represented as a visionary, hot-headed map, who has had the ill-luck to lose a fortune in chasing the country over in se: plants’ backbones and the ear mal antiquity generally on the shifting wastes of time, He has had the wretched taste to make public the most confidential communica- tions in a passion to demolish his cnemics, He has invited newspaper controversy with men infinitely superior iu point of scientific success and presumably scientific attainments.

There are over 1,500 cases, 25 or 30 of which are at Vasssr college, but they are of a mild type. The Evening News reports ten deaths in C! cago within the last 24 hours from influenza and complications resulting from that malady. ‘There is a continual decrease in the number of deaths in Paris. There were 296 on Satur- day and 247 on Sunday, ‘The pope and eight cardinals have the in- fluenza. The influenza is spreading into all parts of Treland. ‘There were 718 deaths in Philadelphia for the week ending at noon Saturday. This isa greater death-rate than has ever been recorded in Phil- adelphia for the past thirty years at this season of the year, and the enormous preponderance of pulmonary diseases shows that this great mortality is due to the present epidemic of acute colds or grip. The increase over the number of deaths of the preceding week is 226, and for the corresponding week of last year 358. Many train hands of the Reading railroad, who were on the sick list suffering with the grip. reported for duty yesterday. A number are, however, still ill and the efficiency of the service is impaired. The temperature was 70 degrees yesterday at Reading and the disease is still spreading. Thomas T. Miller, president of the North- ampton county national bank, a yery promi- nent citizen of Easton, Pa., is dead of the grip. Capt. John Delacy and Wm.

Bishop Littlejohn of Long Island is confined to the see house by an attack of the grip. The Rev, Martin J.

There are probably 50,000 or 60,000 persons ill in the metropolis with the grip and colds and allied maladies, There were 273 policemen on the sick list of the department. Something like 825 different offi- cers have been ill since the commencement of the epidemic. Charles C. Harrison, the well-known Phila- delphia sugar refiner, han been seriously ill at his residence since last Tuesday with the grip. His physicians, Drs. White, Pepper and Da- Costa, say his condition is somewhat improved, although still dangerous, Mr. Harrison is a member of the firm of Harrison, Frazier & Co., and was lately mentioned as a probable candi- date for the Russian mission. ee eee Boston Experiences a ‘London Fog.” A phenomenal fog closed in on Boston for several hours yesterday morning. Nothing like it had been seen before in that city. It was impossible to discern objects from across the street.
