Two hung dred of them were present at the meeting at Great Northern Hotel iast night. In connec- tion with the cholera topic they discussed the best methods of improving the sanitary condi- tion of the city. In relation to the latter sub- ject the doctors said they do not care how dirty are the streets if the alleys are cleaned and the water supply is pure. - Dr. De Laskie Miller was the chairman of the meeting. Dr. J. new law in reiation to national quarantine. Dr. Frank W. Reilly was to have spoken on the state sanitary relations, but in his absence Dr. John H. Rauch addressed the phy this division of the subject. He gave it opinion that quarantine should be left not to one bureau, but state boards should act in con- cert, as also should the municipal and national authorities. The one great factor that spreads disease in the cities was the water supply, and this should receiv pollution could be avoided. Dr. Henry M. Lyman said, in discussing the mea-ures to be adopted by doctors at the homes revent the spread of the disense, that it was first imporsant to de- stroy all the discharges of the patient. The family, he eaid, should be informed of the na- ture of the disease, so that fear would be allaved and the people could act intelligently. On this same division of the subject Dr. C. W. Earle said the health force should be kept out of the hands of political doctors. Dr. D. R. Brower said the only division of the topic that needed consideration was the spread of disease jn the tenement section of the city. He had little fear of the spread of the disease in portions of the city where family doctors were employed. In the parts of the city where people were huddied together in close quarters the disease was most: likely to sprea e Drs. John H. Hollister and Elmer Lee spoke Fletcher Ingals said the best way to clean the city to pro- mote public health was to clean the back yerds and alleys. Speaking of the watcr supply he said Chicago had as pure water as any large city in the world. He advocated its improve- ment and close inspection, particularly in the near future. Dr. Ephraim Ingais and Dr. Eii McClellan, United States army,eaid an epidemic of cholera wouldn't be known in this country again. A mittee, including Dra. Earle, Hamilton, yman, Brower and Hollister, was appointed to draught a pian by which advantage could be taken of the suggestions made by the speakers, 0+ NEW ELECTRIC RAILWAY. It is Operated by Underzronnd Wire—Test- ing at Hartford. From the New York Times. James F. Munsie, electrician and inventor, of 120 Vernon avenue, Brooklyn, bas just returned from Hartford, Conn., where he declares he has left an electric railway in working order, the principle of which, being an underground wire, does away with the disadvantages and expense of the storage-batiery system, at the same time that it is less open to climatic influ- ences and allows of greater speed than the trolley system. Mr. Munsie is sick with congestion of the Tungs, and when seen yesterday was only able to give the barest sketch of his railway. “We started the work last September,” he said, “ona stretch of road near Vernon Street Barns, Hartford. Unfortunately the road is very rough and we have two very sharp turns to encounter. “The system of the road, which is from 750 to on | 1,000 yards iong. is, in brief, as follows: The feed wire is laid between the bearing rails and buried some six inches in the ground above the cross ties, except at theclosing points of the circuit, where it is depressed below the ties. This arrangement is to prevent expense in excavation. These circuit-closing points I spoke of, where the ‘make-and-break’ circuit as the ear passes occurs, are placed at intervals of fifteen or twenty feet. The contact- point boxes, in which are the insulators and cireuit-closing apparatus, are depressed. The live points, though, arc, of course, on the | of the street, to allow the necessary contact. “While the car is passing over the contact point the circuit is closed. When it has the circuit immediately opens. leaving t cuit at that pomt dead and the ‘make-and- break’ point hermeirically sealed. “The advantage of this plan is that Ihave my live wire as thoroughly insulated from begin- @ have been using for our experiments a heavy six-wheel Robinson radial track. Con- tact with the live points is given by a contact bar under the car, supported from the axles, 80 that the adjustment of the contact points with the bar is and at pported ith the “With regard to the speed so far attained by our road, Iam unable to speak accurately. The road is too rongh, too short, not to speak of its two dangerous curves, to allow anything like fast travel. Our power we derive from a dynamo, and we carry a fifteen-ampere meter in our eireuit, “One thing I am’satisfied of, however, and that is that, with conditions equal, this under- ground-wire electric railroad can beat the trolley in speed unmercifully. A company has been incorporated to push the railway, now well out of its babyhood, into practical use and life, and I am willing to subject it to any test, climatic or of any other sort.” ‘Mr. Munsie intends returning to Hartford in 8 few days to put the finishing touches to his way. = ——ror—____—__ ‘The Horse Climbed the Stairs.

M'CREARY'S RESIGNATION. Congressman McCreary of Kentucky called at the White House this morning and announced to the President his resignation as a member o7 the international monetary conference. Mr. McCreary is said to feel that he cannot abseut himself from this country during the coming summer, in the event of » session of the con- ference, as the interests of his constituents de- mand his presence here.

He said that the only question before the court was whether the act of March 3, 1893, re- peaied or annulled the licences granted under the old law. It was suggested that as the legal argument was only & collateral matter jary might be excused, but Mr. Hazelton thought they might just as well remain and learn something ‘of the aw from the discussion. Mr. Hazelton said he had thorities in ad- dition to some au! those to be presented by Mr. ‘Pugh. nnd he thought —_they should be given first, as counsel for the other sido was entitled to the benefit of all their , and he thonght that counsel defendant should be al- fullest latitude in their argument as the case was brought, for the purpose of testing the validity of the licenses. Mr. Clarke, on part of the defense, thought that as the case was broufht for the purpose of a legal toot the arguments should be lirected to the law points and not to the techih- eal wording in the information. Mr. Pugh then opened the argument for the District and cited.a number of authorities in support of his position. Among other decisions cited an Alabama case to show that alicense was not a contract or agreement, but was merely a permit. BORDER TOUGH AND TENDERFOOT A Mining Town Episode in Which the Bad Man Was Laid Low. ‘The strange looking man sat in one corner of the smoker and hadn't much to say, while the drummer, the western real estate man and Detroit Free Press reporter were telling their stories. He roused, however, after a peculiar one by the drummer. “That reminds me,” he said, ‘of something that happened once in a mining town in the | Rockies during the good old tines when every- thing was new out there. Like every other mushroom municipality, we had among us gam- Dlers and greenics, toughs and tenderfect.

He could hardly stand up and his pistol wabbled about as if it were swung toa string. The tough enjoyed it more than any- body alee, for he felt sure of his victim. After he bn he pulled up his gun, and at the same time the tenderfoot pulled his up and tried to aim it.

There Was « moment of gaping surprise, then a chorus of howls, and every man and woman left in the cars tried to crawl beneath the seats, pulling coats, dresses, anything over their heads with shockiug disregard of the proprieties.
