IMEDICAL MEN DISPERSE Close of the Triennial Oongress of Physicians and Surgeons, Election of Officers Yesterday by Sev- eral Societies—Enjoyable Smoker at the Cosmos Club. The sessions of the fourth triennial con- gress of American physicians and surgeons, which began in this city Tuesday last, closed last evening with general meetings under the auspicees of two of the affiliated societies of the organization—the Orthope- dic and Surgical Associations. 3 After the close of the report in The Star of last evening Dr. E. H. Bradford of Bos- ton, a member of the Orthopedic Associa- tion, announced that he had no doubt it would be a satisfaction to the profession at large to learn that deformities of the hiy joint, an affifction which for centuries had defied all surgical efforts, might at last be regarded as overcome and curable, under the effects of scientific surgery. He regretted, he said, that the otlology of the affection is as yet unknown. Its diagnosis, he said, was not difficult in adult cases or in those of large children, but with small children other affections are frequently confounded with it. A number of members took part in the discussion which followed, and among the matters referred to were reduction after Incision, reduction by forceful manipula- tion, and gradual reduction by mechanical epplications. It was the consensus of opin- jon that subcutaneous incision was useless. The last hour and a half were given to a meeting directed by the American Surgical Association. The theme was “Acute Gen- eral Peritonitis,” and the discussion bore on its classification and the prognosis and treatment of the different varieties of the malady. Addresses were made by Dr. Abbe of New York, Dr. Andrew F. J. McCosh of New York and Dr. George R. G. Fowler of Brooklyn, each of whom gave numerous citations from cases which had been treated by him. The use of anti-toxine was also thoroughly reviewed. Officers Elected.

There was no election of officers of the congress, as that duty will devolve upon the executive committee, at a meeting to be held at some place yet to be selected curing May, 1808. Soon after the adjournment of the con- gress many of the memebers left for their homes on outgoing trains, but enough re-. mained to make the ‘‘smoker,”’ given in their honor at the Cosmos Club, a great success. es FAMILY DIFFICULTIES, ‘The Mother-in-Law Swore Out a War- rant. ‘The quiet neighborhood of 9th and C Streets southeast was disturbed yesterday afternoon by the appearance of a policeman who made an arrest. Neighbors knew that the arrest was made because of a domestic difficulty which involved the custody of a child, but the exact facts were not known. The man arrested was Louis Yeager, a lawyer, who formerly lived at Camden, N. J., but who has been living in Richmond, Va.. for some time. The child in the case is his own boy, about three years old, and the woman who accompanied him to the police station is his wife. His arrest was made on @ warrant swern out. by his moth- er-in-law, Mrs. Louisa Austin, who lives near Lincoln Park. Policeman Clinton of the fifth precinct made the arrest and escorted the husband and wife to the sta- tion, the husband carrying the child in his arms. When the station was reached and the husbend was locked up the child was turned over to his mother, and she returned to the home of her mother. In conversation with the husband the policeman was told part of the story of the domestic unhappiness of the Yeagers. Some time ago Mrs Yeager and the child came here to visit the husband’s mother-in-law, and afterward the husband came here. While the wife was stopping on Park place he engaged a room at 237 §th street southeast. Yesterday afternoom. le said, he was on Pennsylvania avertue southeast, when he saw his wife and child with his mother-in-law. They were in a street car at the time and he got in a carriage and foliowed them. They changed cars at 15th street and went north on a 4th street car, intending to go to the Zoo. When they got off the car to transfer at U street he grab- bed the child and jumped into the carriage. His wife followed, and together they rode to the house where he has been stopping and remained until his mother-in-law’s warrant for alleged threats was served on him. He gave bond for his appearance in court and the czse will be heard next week. ~~ The Wheel That Wins—Demores: Superlative in material, making and feat- ures. Cash buyers get lowest prices.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MAY 7%, 1897-16 PAGES. AMUSEMENTS. GARUANA’S may ball at the Academy of Music tonight promises to be one of the most elaborate and original affairs of the kind ever put before the Washington pub- ie. It will not be the ordinary May bell of a dancing school, but will be more of a professional exhibition than anything at- tempted in the past by this well-known ex- ponent and instructor of the art of fancy dancing. Besides the conventional dances which are always expected in a May ball, there will be many striking and novel fea- tures, which cannot fail to please and.ex- cite admiration for the way they are put on. Caruana always has a large number of group dances in his productions that are enjoyable in the extreme, and ‘this year he will make a specialty of this sort of danc- ing. Besides these features, there will be special numbers, which will add greatly to the attractiveness of the program. There will be a serpentine dance by Marie Howe, trick bicycle riding by Harry Park and musical selections by the Madrids, well known as one of the best mandolin and guitar clubs in this part of the country. The whole affair will be elegantly staged, and lime and electrical effects will not be wanting. The costumes in Caruana’s pro- ductions are always elaborate, and this season’s show will be no exception to the rule. MISS LUCKETTS MAY BALL.—Miss Virgie Luckett’s second annual May ball will take place at ihe Columbia Theater tomorrow afterngon at 3:30.

Permit me to cite my own experience. In the pursuance of my daily duties I go to Takoma Park every morning and return in the afternoon. During the fall of last year closed cars were not put on the road until so late that I had two severe attacks of grip from exposure to cold, and, in con- sequence, have not been free from cold since last November. During the winter season the cars were comfortably heated, but the company have already taken off all the closed cars, and, though they have plenty of trailers, do not use them at all, forcing persons, sick or well, to ride in open cars when the tem- perature upon them is, I am told, twenty degrees colder than one is subjected to in gentle motion. All last week, when the weather was chill and raw, persons going to and from the Park had to submit to the discomfort of riding for six miles against a violent wind. I, though wearing winter clothing, was chilled through and through for days, and contracted a severe cold, which, but for the best of care, would have developed into pneumonia, and which, of course, ren- dered me unable to attend to my school dutfes. I am at present suffering from rheumatism and a cough. which is quite secious. 1 wrote a polite note to the superintend- ent of the railroad, advising him of my condition, and asking him, if possible, to put on a closed car at the hours when I must go back and forth. He paid no at- tention to it, and, as I know there are others suffering as well as myself, I sub- mit the question to the public if something cannot be done to prevent illness and pro- vide comfort. One of my friends, a lady teacher, walked last Thursday all the way to Brightwood because she dared not risk the exposure in an open car. Another had to ride Tues- day in a car which was thoroughly wet, seats and all, and many others have ex- pressed their indignation at the way things are conducted. Cruelty to animals is con- demned; surely human lives are worth far more. Will not some one interest himself in this matter? If so, I am sure he will receive the gratitude of many, as well as that of TAKOMA TEACHER. —+q+ Fourth anniversary sale, best Elgin But- ter made, 20c. lb., Saturday, Gibbons’ But- ter Stands.—Advt. —_——___ fa FIERCE CONFLICT. War Breaks Out Between Circus Men and Local Toughs. There was a big fight between the circus men and a crowd of South Washington col- ored men between midnight and 1 o'clock this morning, and although the police were called out and were on the scene part of the time not an arrest was made. Several disfigured heads of colered men, possible injury to the circus employes and the de- struction of railroad property resulted. How the fight originated the police could not ascertain, but they heard it resulted from an attack made by the colored men on the supper table at which the circus employes were seated. According to the statements made to the police the circus men were at supper, when a party of col- ored men came along and bombarded their dining tent. When the shower of stones had fallen against the tent the circus men went out to defend their rights, and then there was a fierce battle. Finally the colored men were repelled, and the police retired when order had been restored. This all happened near South Capitol and G streets. Two circus trains had departed without any trouble, and then the circus employes were making up the last train when some of the troublesome coiored peo- ple reappeared. There were three pi:ssen- ger coaches on the last train, and in these the employes were seated to make the jour- ney to Richmond, when the train was at- tacked and the police think that almost every window in the cars was smashed. As the train did not stop there is no way of ascertaining what injury was sustained by the men on the train. Several of the colored men were injured. ——————— The Finest Lumber, $1.00 Per 100 Ft.

At the Tennessee centennial exposition grounds yesterday Prof. Arthur Barnard, physical instructor of the Yeung Men's Christian Association of Nashville, began a journey in an airship constructed by hirself. The officials of the exposition and the peoplo attending the exposition wit- nessed the ascent of the aerial voyager. "The sbip moved off in perfect order, and passed out of sight in a few minutes. Prof. Barnard, who returned with his airship last night, said that he has per- fected a machine which will fly under ordirery conditions. He said the ship was not perfect, nor could it be perfectly con- trolled, but he believed he could perfect it so that its course could be controlled. After disappearing from view the ship circled around, the navigator hoping to meet with a favorable current. At last the ship began to sail to the west, Mr. Barnard says, as far as Watkins, a village fifteen miles west of the city. There he turred, and when four miles from Nash- ville the gas in the balloon attachment be- gan to give out. He sought a safe place to descend and came down easily. While aloft a sudden gust broke one of the spans of the ship. No other damage was done. The time he was aloft was one and a half hours. He was returning along the line of the outward filght when he was forced to land. ——+ e+___ Gentlemen's Hats. Knox's specialties. Stinemetz & Son, 1237 Pa, av.—Advt. ————— Pp. M.

The circus has left the city, but one man who came here with it remained behind to get hospital treatment. His name is Frank’ Arndt, and he has a bullet in his leg. The police did-not drive away the crowd of hangers-on when the performance was over last night, but permitted them to re- main there in the vay of the circus men. The result was that a crowd of colored amen became engaged in a quarrel with some of the employes. Arndt was hard at work on one of the tents at the time, and was not even pay- ing any attention to the trouble, but a pistol ball went his way and lodged in his leg, and he had to stop work, Just who fired the shot is not known. The police suspect that it was fired by one of the colored men, although it may have been fired by one of the circus people. Soon after the injury was inflicted the wounded man was taken to the Homeo- pathic Hospital, where the doctors made an effort to remove the bullet, but without success. He is still in the hospital under treatment, and the police are looking for his assailant. —<—._ Among the goods to be sold at Sloan’s, 1407 G street northwest, domorrow at 10 a.m. will be found the effecta.:of a promi- nent Justice.—Advt. e: 4 You think it is because your child is “growing too fast” that he fails to put on flesh.

At the close of the rehearsal last night the entire club took a large wagon and serenaded as many of their friends as they could reach, including the teachers and young ladies of Mrs. Ca- bell’s, Mrs. Sommers’, Miss Stuart’s and the Eckington schools. The members are de- termined that this shall be their best effort and that they shall have the largest audi. ence they have yet been honored with. The Jonnies have received the following letter from Mrs. Jefferson Davis: THE GIRARD, New York city, Prof. N. DuShane Cloward. Dear Sir: I hope the “Jonnies” may meet everywhere th2 appreciation accorded to them here. Their presentation of the Mika- do was exceptionally good, and there was no drawback to the excellence of their per- formance. They have my best wishes for their success. Truly. yours, V.

A lecture on “Longfellow and His Poetry” was ‘delivered last night at Holy Cross Academy by Dr. Edward Greene of the Catholic University. ~ Longfellow’s poems were characterized by Dr. Greene as tirésome and extravagant, “The: Psalm of Life’ and “Excelsior” being declared faulty both from a literary and an ethical point of view. In “Evangeline” the lec- turer showed that he could depict Christian maidenhood, but not Christian womanhood. “Hiawatha,” however, was pronounced by Dr. Greene to be exquisitely pathetic and wildly beautiful, and that it fully entitled its author to a prominent place in the an- nals of fame. | Royal, And Gramophone Records (hard rubber disss).
