Facts in Regard to the Disease in Surgeon ral Hamilton's Report—Other Matters. The annual report of Surgeon General Hamilton of the marine hospital service, just submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, contains a special description of the origin, cause and termination of the grip epidemic, and attention, with a note of warning, is called to the epidemic of cholera which has prevailed so extensively in Asia Minor, Persia and Spain, and which still existe in Japan. No epidemic of yellow fever has been reported, but the surgeon general states that the United States would be the gainer even in « pecuniary sense if it were to donate to the Cuban government sufficient funds to make Havana « healthy seaport. Yellow fever is almost always present in Havana and Rio Janeiro, and those cities could be made healthy if proper measures were | taken. They are a standing menace to the | health of the United States. Smallpox has been reported on the Mexican frontier. and by request of the California state board an in- spector has been appointed at the Mexican frontier. FIELD HOSPITAL SERVICE. As showing the extent of the field of the hos- pital service the surgeon general recommends | a new hospital to be built at Sitka, Alaska, and | reports the temporary establishment of a tloat- | ing hospital in the Chesapeake bay for the re- | lief of the oyster dredgers. The report calls attention to the fact that late in the fiscal year the government assumed | the daty of immigrant inspection at New York | | and that the marine hospital service was | | charged with the medical inspection ot the im- migrants.

At the last election for a member of Congress the usual division in the ranks of the | democratic party of the county was for the | time being forgotten, but since the victory | achieved on that oceasion by the repnblicans of the congressional district declining to vote | in many instances, the same old feeling of dis- | | trast and jealousy has manifested itself. For some years whenever the contest has been made here between the adherents of the state | managers and those opposed to their methods of conducting party affairs the latter have | been successful. It now looks as if the ques- tion would again come to the front and hav much influence in the primary clecti especially in the nominations for the legisla- | ture.

A Findlay, Ohio, Hotel Wrecked at a Cost of Several Lives. It was discovered yesterday morning that gas was escaping from a leaking pipe somewhere into the dining room of the Marvin House at Findlay, Ohio, and Mr. Marvin, the owner of the building, with three plumbers, spent the entire furenoon trying to locate the leak. About | noon they entered a chamber anderaeath the | dining room and found such an accumulation of gas that it was suggested that a hole be sawed through the floor into the dining room to obtain fresh air. This was done, and just as the hole was made one of the dining room girls, who was sweep- ing the floor, stepped upon @ inatch, and in an instant an explosion occurred which not onl wrecked the building. but killed two girls an: maimed and injured a dozen other employes. ‘The force of the explosion was so great that it blew out the flame of the ignited gas, and no fire followed the awful rum which the shock had caused. reseuing the dying was begun it was found that Katie Walters, a waitress, had been killed.

Chicago Knights Templar Give Up Their Skin te Heal a Brother. One of the most unique surgical operations on record was performed in Chieago yesterday and 132 Knights Templar gave to the world a notable example of fraternal love and heroic self-sacrifice, made in order that a sick brother might be restored to health. These Knights each suffered the loss of a piece of cuticle which was transferred to Sir Knight John Dickerson. The cancer which had attacked his thigh was removed some time ago, but #0 deep and wide an incision had to be made in the flesh that nature was unequal to the task of healing over the gaping wound. The experi- ment was tried of engrafting the skin of some of the lower animals, but itfailed. The surgeon | in charge announced to Dickerson’s anxious brethren that if human skin could be obtained it would in all probability save the patient's life and insure his complote recovery. ‘The question was where to obtain sufficient skin to cover 144 square inches of surface. The matter was broached in the commandery and to a man the Knights offered to submit themselves tothe necessary operation. ‘TRAINING FOR THE OPERATION. ‘Those selected by the surgeons have had to go through a sort of training, being dieted, &c., for several days past. They were particularly admonished to refrain from any alcoholic stimulant. This morning each man took a bath and repaired to the mergency Hospital, where the operetion was performed. Every- thing was in readiness when they arrived, and Knight Smith was led into the operating room to contribute the first patch to the 144 tquare inches required. Sit Pinttenburg. had administered a quantity of oxide gas to the tient on the operating table—enongh to make im partly unconscious. THE OPERATION. Mr. Smith slipped off his coat and vest, rolled up the left sleeve of “his shirt, and placed himself at the mercy of the wise men. Two of them, with brush and sponge, serubhed | the tlexor or under surface of his arm until it tinged to redness. ‘Then they applied aleohol to dissolve and wash away any microbes or mi- nute particles. When they had rubbed and cleansed his arm until he began to think there was no epidermus left, Dr. Bernauer litted a fold of the ilexible skin and with a delicate, dex- terous movement sliced off a thin, papery strip about a half inch wide and two inches long. Sir Knight Smith set his teeth together firmly and looked somewhat pale, but did not make a sound. Dr. Bernauer held the strip on his razor and reached over to Dr. Fenger, who siezed it with a pair of tweezers, and in a moment had applied it to the bare surface of the patient's body and. pressed it smoothly down. ‘The raw spot on Mir. Smith's ‘arm was dressed and bandaged, and he went away with the parting aswarance that in ten days it would be all healed up without a scar to show where it had been. THE PATIENT A SPECTATOR. The subjects came rapidly and were handled with readiness by the expert attendants. A few were dismissed Because of advanced age | or some physical disqualification, but_a very large majority of the self-sacrificing Templars bared their arm to the bright blade and gave away a part of themselves with commendable unconcern. Mr. Dickerson was given no an- westhetics after the operation began and was He watched the busy surroundings with a degree of interest, returned the salutations of many friends who entered and appeared to be in a confident and comfortable state of mind. He went through the trial more creditably than some of his fraternity brothers, as two of them fainted during the proceedings and many more in- quired anxiously for cold water. A third delegation of forty-five knights ar- rived at 1 o'clock. By that time the work was almost completed and many of the late arrivals were not permitted to yield up their portion of fiexion covering. Early in the work several favorable subjects had each been relieved of two or three large pieces, so that those who came at the last escaped the more easily During the operation, which was ended at 2 o'clock, @ sentinel stood at the front door of the hospital to exelude all who could not give the proper Masonic signs and grips. He raid that it was « private affair, and must not be | interrupted by the prying public. THE DOCTORS HOPEFUL. It is the hope and belief of the knights that their aftficted brother will soon recover and take his lace among them. Dr. Fenger and the other physicians held out much encourage- ment. It will be ten days before the success or failure of tho experiment will be known. If successfui the place should be thoroughly healed over in thirty days. It is thought that the cancer is entirely removed, and if the grafted skin takes hold and grows, Mr. Dicker- son will soon be almost as well as ever. ————— ree RISPAH LEARNED’S SUIT. She Wants to Recover $15,000 on a Kemark- able Contract. An action to recover $15,000 on a contract has been filed in the superior court of Boston. ‘The case is probably withont precedent in any court in the country. ‘The plaintiff is Miss Rispah L. Learned and the defendants are the executors of the estate of the late millionaire patent medicine manufacturer, Donald Ken- nedy of Boston, who died in Washington two years ago. Twenty-four years ago Miss Learned, |then nineteen years of age and of striking | beauty, came to Boston from a country town in central Massachusetts and found employ- | ment in Mr. Kennedy's big establishment.

M. Fugette, cashier of the South Chatte- nooga Savings Bank, was yesterday shot and killed by his father-in-law, Judge J. A. Warder, who is city attorney of Chattanooga. Judge Warder is shot in two places. Mrs: Fugette is the only child of Judge Warder, and is shot in the right thigh—a very dangerous wound. From the evidence at the coroner's inquest it appears Judge Warder came home at 1 o'clock ina very drunken condition and immediately went to Mr. and Mrs. Fugette’s room, where the shooting took place as soon as he entered. Mr. and Mrs. Fugette lived with Judge and Mrs. Warder on College street. There were seven shots fired, five by Judge Warder and “TED sald.

Mrs. Fugette is also unable to speak, and what took place in the room aside from the shooting isnot yet known.

Such a trouble occurred late Saturday night and Mr. Fngette quieted his father-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Fugette have been married but two years, have been living happily together and have a five-months-old baby. Mr. Fugette was cbont twenty years of age, a pula, successful business "man. Mire. ‘ngette is a very handsome woman. Judge Warder is_one of the best known lawyers in the state. For six years he was United States district attorney for the middie district of Tennessee, appointed by President Hayes. He was a brave, gullant Union soldier and is one of the most prominent republican poli- ticians in Tennessee. He owns considerable property and has a large, lucrative practice in this city. He isa man of the highest culture, of most polished and affable manners. His domestic affairs were always supposed to have been of the happiest. AN INTERESTING INCIDENT. Emma Abbott’s Reception in a Charles- ton Church, The announcement that the late Emma Ab- bott had bequeathed $5,000 to the Citadel Square Baptist Church of Charleston, 8.C., re- calls an incident which transpired in that sanc- tuary one Sunday in February, 1888, while she was playing a week's engagement in that cit On the day referred to a neatly and plainly cessed woman, accompanied by a gentleman, entered the church. No one noticed the pres- ence of the plainly attired stranger untila hymn was announced. ‘Then there was heard a voice which could not be mistaken. ‘The birdlike notes soared far above the voices of the con- gregation—far above the deep tones of the or- gan—and flooded the church with the sweetest melody. Those in the congregation who had been singing paused and listened with delight. In a few moments the services ended, but the worshipers did not depart. The rumor was uickly circulated that Emma Abbott was in the church, and in a few moments the diva was surrounded by a crowd of ladios and gentle- men, who effectually barred her exit. The singer held a reception of a kind probably never before granted to a womar ou the stage. She was about to retire, but those present iked if she would not sing a hymn for their benefit. She readily assented, and on being conducted to the choir loft sang to an_accom- paniment on the organ “Nearer, My God, To thee.” ——— Gov. Gordon Will Join the AMance.

Sometime ago Miss Lydia Landt, the dangh- ter of a respected family at Davenport, Iowa, went to Oconomowoc, Wis. She became greatly attached to Alexander Dale. There was noth- ing serious between them. Some cf Miss Landt's friends learned her secret and began to torture her with most affectionate notes pur- porting to come from Dale. Repeated requests in the notes to meet him were granted by her, but of course he did not appear. A final letter came that ended the foolish adventure and ter- minated in a tragedy that is perhaps as vad and beartrending as cun be imagined. Miss Landt became a raving maniue and tore the hair from her head in hands full. It took the strength of several stout men to prevent her from killing herself.

Loxpox, Jan. 17.—Rumors gre aficat of a somewhat forcible remonstrance having been addressed by Mr. Blaine to Lord Salis- bury on account of the proceedings being taken to the Supreme Court, but nothing seems to be known about it in official circles. If such o dispatch has been received Lord Salisbury is keeping it to himself until Tuesday next, when there will be a cabinet meeting to arrange the course of business for parliament. The government is in a position, I under- stand, to dispose quickly of any charge brought against it of a desire to steal a march on the United States in the Bering sea negotiations or of treating the Secretary of State with dis- courteay., Those who are acquainted with the facts are confident that when the on both sides of the Atlantic hear the truth they will sce that the British ministry could not have acted otherwise than it has done. It will be denied altogether that Lord Salisbury originated or suggested the application to the Supreme Court. The proceedings were taken on sponsibility and initiative of Canada, the min- iry here concurring, and not imagining for a moment that the United ‘Staton government Would place an offensive construction upon em. It is maintained that an appeal to the highest American court for the setticment of the points of law involved in the international dispute shows the utmost confidence in that court, and therefore cannot reasonably be regarded as an act of discourtesy toward the President or his advisers. It ia also well known here that the proceedings in question were originally sug- fested months ago by an American lawyer of igh standing, Mr. Sydney Webster. Oilicials here are prepared to show that they have r confidence in the impartiality and in- dence of the Supreme Court than is en- tertained by the Secretary of State. The question will no doubt be brought before Parliament as soon as the are lnid on the table. I may say that among all parties there appears to be a concensus of opinion that in using every means of closing this controversy in an amicable and speedy manner Lord Salis- bury deserves general support. There will, therefore, be no attack upon the ministry from the opposition. It is acknowledged that they have acted with perfect good faith and could not have foreseen that a willingness to submit their cage to the adjudication of « purely Amer- ican tribunal would be regarded as an insult by Mr. Blain A Mexnen oF Panuiament.

In the course of his remarks he said that he was still young enough to fight the battle, and that he would continue to distrust “the rotten English whig party.” Messrs. Timothy and Edward Harrington and Mabony also ad- dressed the meeting. Mr. Parnell and party were escorted to the station by a procession of torchbearers as they were leaving Cork for Athlone. RECEIVED WITH GROANS. Mr. Parnell was received at Tralee with mingled groans and cheers. Replying to ad- dresses that had been presented to him he said that he had done his part toward the solut'-n of the Irish problem when he had the conference with Mr. O’Brien and the subsequent delay in arriving ata settlement of the difficulty was entirely the fault of others. He had made up his own mind on the subject within twenty- four hours after the first interview with Mr. O'Brien. He was ignorant as to what action his trembling and vacillating opponents had decided upon, but if no solution was found the fault would not be his. In an interview Mr. Parnell declared that there was not a word of truth in the report that he would retire uncon- ditionally if Mr. O'Brien was satisfied that the liberal leaders in that case would promptly de- clare their home-rule scheme. ‘THE ANTI-PARNELLITES. Timothy Healy and Arthur O'Connor, M.P. for Donegal East, were in Mostrim, Long- ford county, yesterday, it having been arranged for them to deliver addresses there. Shortly after the meeting began the speakers’ platform collapsed. Mr. Healy was severely shaken up, but none of those on the platform were seriously injured. In conse- (ee of the necident ried was ad- journed, but the speech-making was soon re- sumed clsewhere. "Mr. Healy, tn bis ‘address, accused the Parnellites of having “sawn the prop,” with the intention of killing their op- ponents. He said Mr. Parnell was fonder of sawing planks than of sleeping thereon. Father Langan. an Athlone priest, yesterday exhorted his congregation to boycott Mr. Par- nell’s meetings in that place. At Armagh yes- terday Archbishop Logue of Armagh warned his congregation against the independent Par- nell Club. Maurice Healy, anti-Parnellite member of parliament for Cork city, had the utmost ificulty in obtaining shearing before a Catholic young men's society. He was both cheered and hooted on leaving. CONFERENCES IN FRANCE. John Dillon arrived at Havre yesterday after- noon on the French steamer La Gascogne, from New York. He was met at the pier by Mr. O’Brien and after an exchange of cordial greetings the two Irish leaders drove to a hotel, Shere they atonce retired for Private confer- ence. Mr. Dillon was asked his opigion of the political situation, but he said he must decline to make any statement until he had conversed fully with Messrs. O'Brien and Gill and other prominent men of the Irish parliamentary Party. Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien were in consul- tation for six hours. At the conclusion of the interview Mr. Dillon said that a complete acourd had been established, adding that it was idle So tay more at present. ’ Mr. Dillon goes to Paris with Messrs. O’Brien and Gill today. ——— 1 Crime. . Harry W. George, pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church at Leeds, N.Y., and Dr. D. D.
