Cmicaco, Sept. 19.—|Special Telegram to Tux Ber.]—The scandal in regard to tho mbuman treatment of the inmates of the home for incurables shows no sign of abate- ment, The matter is now in the circuit court, and will indue time be thoroughly ventilated.

Mrs. Margaret Quinn was also dis- missed by the board for insubordination. “Phe charges concerning the {ll-treatment of Auna Gustafson are Jdenied, as also all the other sensational allegations of cruelty to in- mates. The charge that Matrou Barlow procured an order declaring s man namea Jones insane 8o as to get rid of him is branded as false by the defendants, who give the matron a good reuutation, and as- cribe all the scandals aboutthe home to malice, “There is-a public clamor for a general in- vestigation.

The medical society of the Missouri valley began its annual session last night at the corner of Fourteenth and Dodge streets, in the hall above the Metropolitan club rooms. A large nutiiber of physicians from Omaha, Council Bluffs and neighboring towns were present, the following being a complete list, as taken from the secretary’s register: James Carter, P. S.

Moore, Silver City, Ia.; Charles Inches, Scribner; J. C. Emmert and F. W. Porterfield, Atlantic City, Ia., and M. Kirkpatrick, of South Omaha. The report of the secretary, Dr. James Carter, was brief but interesting. The so- olety is yet in 1ts infancy according to the statements made, and has held but three meetings, The membership is al- ready 108 with thirteen applicants on file. At the lust meeting sixteen valuable papers were read, while at this session the increased to eighteon. The secretary expressed much confidence in the future of the association. At this pointa brief description of the society and its objects may not be out of place. It was organized for the purvose of fostering, advancing and _disseminating medical knowledge, and for the further pur- pose of upholding und maintaing the dignity of the medieal profession, and to encourage social and harmonious relations among physiciaus. The membership is limited to graduates of regular medical colleges iv good and recular standing. Ihe attendance has averaged sixty-five per._meeting heretofore, but this was greatly increased last night. The report of the treasurer, showiug re- ceipts and disursements, was' read and re- ferred to the fipance committee, ufter which the reading of papers began. ‘The first pregented was by Dr. F. A. Bautler, of Haryard, Neb., entitled “Bilateral Laceration of the (ervix,” and was un ably preparea history. of & surgical operation uccessfully _pgrformed by the author, sisted Dr, Shoemaker, of Trumbull. T'wo points of inferest were brought up, the firat of which was that in order to prevent nausea, 01l of clovgs had been used prior to the administering ‘of the anasthetic. The cone had beep, saturated with the oil of cloves and({hie patient had inhaied it with good resylts, viz, that no nausea whatever had followed. ‘This was & new wdea to many ef ,the gentlemen present, several of whom cxpressed themselves as having learned,, something, declaring that they had never heard of such a_precaution prior to the reading.of this paper. Dr. But- ler 8aid that he yas a country physician and that his pragtica was.a general one, und not conflned to the limits of specialists, as many of the Omaha physiciang are, but he was glad to have preseuted anew idea, which was, however, not original, having been taken from a celebrated wedical work. An- other point in the history of Dr. Butler's case was the use of tannic acd for the prevention of hemorrhage. The general _practice 18 the use of hot water. Several physicians, among them Dr. Peabody, were of the opinion that the latter method of procedure was the best, inasmuch as the after effects were liabie to be more salutary. Dr. Butler cited thav hot water haa been known to increase hemorrhage, 1n- stead of checking it. In this case the opera- tion was of so delicate a nature that no chances could be afforded, and the tannic acid was considered by him as absolutely certain in its results, hence he had used if. Dr. Butler’s paper received no adverse crit- icism beyond this latter point, which is of minor importance. and he was the subject of much congratulation over his success. Dr. J. M. Emmert, of Atlantic, la., read a paver entitled *‘Acute Caries Moxillary Boues,” which was u_document coutaiuing the history of a case of a child live years of age which he had been called upon to treat after five other physicians, including two nomeepaths, had eiven it up. * The child died two days after he was called to see it and he has written & diagnosis of the symptoms for the pupose of arousing a diseussion as to the real nature of the disease. Prior to his con- nection with the case the child had had _au attack of what purported to be rash. This had disappeared only to return after which the patient grew worse and finally died. At times the symptoms appeared of & syphilitic nature, but the doctor, _after & rigid examination, failed to discover any traces of the disease either in the patient or its .parents. Dr. Rosewater had a theory which he advancel n connection with a ‘case he had in hand very similar o the one described. He had solved the problem as regards the latter, but in the former would be obiiged to have had a porsonal observation before venturing an opinion. There possibly might be syphilitic origin for the case mentioned. Dr. Rose- vzuter's opinion was lengthy and embodied many scientifio terms, but his position re- garding the matter was generally endorsed, An allusion to the fact that Dr. Brown- Sequard was in his dotage, made by Dr. Thomas in his “Opprotium Medicorum,” brought up a animated discussion as o the merits of the *elixir.” 1t was opened by Dr. Hobby, who resented themputation that Brown-Segnard was in his dotage. Then followed a aiscussion. Someof the members ridiculed the idea that the elixir could be beneficial owing to the method of prepara- tion by maceration. One physician con- tended that the general idea of the use of the elixir was erroneons,-and that the idea that a man's vitality cauld be renewed by its use was a mistaken ome. It was meroly a feed- ini of the vital force, and ot a renewal. Then 1 followed . m 'general excoriation of homeopaths, ecleetio physicians, etc. Dr, Leisenring = emphatically asseried that there were members who had been known to comstlt with homeopaths and that he favored firing them out. Dr, Peabody thought.~thit by fighting homeo- paths the societgionly advertised them and that the best planwas to let them alone The last issue of the Encyclopedia Brittanica contained @ six or weven page aaticle by a homeopath, which admitted that homeopathy Wi un error and if@hey were let alone they would soon die out. J Then followed apafier on *Management of " by Dr7 Hobby, which was & fuliy-prepared and very scien- t. in daweh oue of the best of the kind ever read. - While of @ special nature, it evoked much comment from the generul practitioners. At its conclusion the society adjourned until to-day. - - Bzd Weather for Peaches, Brooxssuky, N. J., Sept. 10.—The recent wet weather has done incaleulable damage to the peach crop in New Jersey. The late va- rieties, from which the highest prices are re- alized, have been 80 wuch bruised by coming in coutact with each other, owing to the high winds, that they have rotted and fallen from the trecs.

AMUSE The merry old soul of Old King Cole seoms to have been corraled under the cloak ot im- mortality to vivify King Cole 11, his decend- ent of later years. The accomplishment of this feat furnished last night’s entertain- ment at the Grand opera house. The me- dium y means of which the undertaking was accomplished may be variously styled, in theatrical parlance, & pan- tomimic extraveganza or a musical travesty. The Iatter is _ probably the more correct designation if indeed it can be understood how a travesty could be made of the jolly oid ruler. There is little in the plot to interest the auditor. The piece, however, does not de- pend upon the story. It must sink or swim, 1ive ot die, survive or perish, on other quali- fications, ‘T'hese it possesses in a very great degree. It is musical, full of animation, ad- mirably placed upon the stage, while the perforiners are possessed of ability, and theic costumes are of the richest order.

INSPECTING PAVING MATERIAL, The Oouncil Committee Holds a Broezy Session at Which M. Gray and Inspeotor Donovan Ex- change Compliments. Inspeoting Naugle's Charges. The council committee appointed to in- vestigate the complaint made by J. A. Naugle & Co., against Major Balcombe's un- justifiavly rigid inspection of cedar block paving materials met yestorday after- noon. Members Bailey, Kaspar, Couns- man and Snyder were present, Mr. Sander, the other member of the committe failing to appear. Major Balcombe was pre- pared for the visit of the committee, and had his notes all arranged for o lengthy speech. He had a paving block taken from Farnam street near Twenty-eighth, which had been down one year. He placed this up along- side a bright new block which he has on hand for a sample, and mounting these, made his little sp He denied that he had at any time or in any manner excecded his authority and claimed that ho had al- ways ncted upon the decisions of the board. He explained his failure to notify his inspoc- tors of the resoiution of the boara that the color of the cedar blocks should not be con- sidered by stating that tie order had not been made a_record of the procecdings and that he had forgotten it. Coming down to the trouble on Harney street he said he acted on the order of tho board, passed upon the ground, not to allow blocks of the char- acter presented to be used in paving, The major waxed eloquent close of his effort and stated that he owed Fred Gray a personal debt of gratitude for taking the supervision of the new city hall out of the hands of the board of public works., Mr. Gray had not received any noticeof the meeting of the committee until after the meeting had been in progress some time, when a personal friend of his notified him by telephone that the meetng was in pro- gress, Heappeared justas tho chairman of the board was closing his peroration. Paving Inspector Donavan appeared be- fore the committee and gave his unqualified e Llllorseumnl of ull that Mr. Balcombe bad said, ““No good blocks are intentionally rejected by me,” said Mr, Donovan, ‘‘but when 15 or 20 per cent of them are poor some of the bad ones must £o in."’ “‘Are 20 per cent of them bad, as a ruie?” ed Mr, Counsman. Oh, no,” rephed the inspector. “Very often we get a lot in which not 5 of 1 p centare bad. I rejected a load on Le: worth street last night because the biocks were oid and red, the same kind that was r jected in the work on Harney street.” Mr. v then asked Mr. Donovan if he had ever received any instructions from Mr. Balcombe to reject blocks on account of color. % “Not directly; we rejected red blocks be- cause—" But Mr. Donovan didn’t finish his explana- tion. *'On that Harney street work,” asked Mr. Gray, “dido’t the board decide th blocks would be allowed on that str not on any further work, and didn’t stop the work the same aftérnoon on N Balcombe’s order because the blocks were redi” Mr. Donovan couldn’t remember. “Come, Donovan,” said Mr. Gray, “be & man or a mouse——" “This brought Mr. Donovan to his feet with snapping eyes, He didn’t want his manhood questioned, he said, by Mr. Gray or anybog else. He was as good a man as any of them. Mr. Donovan finally admitted that when the board of public works heid its meeting on Harney street it was understood that the red blocks were to be used to finish the street and a vesolution was adopted to that effect, but that afterwards Major Balcombe had the work stopped, as his construction of the resolution was that no more red blocks were to be used. “'he resolution said so,” interjected Major Balcombe, and he read it for the seventeenth time, ““Weren't there two resolutions adopted by the board,” asked Mr. Gray, “in which it was expressly stuted that biocks should not be rejected on account of their color?” Major Balcombe admitted the fact, but asserted that the red blocks had been re- jeeted not. on account of their color, but on account of their inferior quality. After some furtner discussion the com- mittee proceeded to Thirty-eighth and Leavenworth street, where the work of paving had been stopped by Major Balcombe on account of poor material. The wagon load of blocks re- jected by Inspector Donovan last night stood on the street, and Major Balcombe immedi- ately climbed to the top of it and began gath- cring up what he called defective biocks, The first one picked up by him and decided to be defective was taken by Mr. Counsman and split open. 1t found to be perfectly sound, plainly showing that its red color led 1o its rejection This “disconcerted Charman Balcombe, and he gave another speech. He said it was perfect] plain that the material contractors had sent out a good load expecting 1t to be inspected by the committee. 1f this load were passed poorer block would be run in at once. A Bee reporter was then selected as the houest maun of the party to throw a hundred blocks out of the wagon for inspection. The were thrown out and inspected by Mr. Dono- van ve efully, He rejected thirty-fi of them as unfit for u! Of these five we thrown out as being less than five inches in diameter, although” Mr. Donovan admitted that the were sound, and inordinary work of paving would be used. The other tiirty we split open and about balf of them found to be fairly good blocks, up to the average used in paving. at the Mr. Gray explained that the red color of | the blocks had been d by the timbe having been floated Gown the' river befo the posts were peeled. 'I'he blocks were, he said, cut last winter and were perfectly dry. They had been packed in cars a long timo and were not as bright looking as some ma- terial, but were perfectly sound. If such ) . in a strong speech | | material could not bo used it wouvld b ruinous to contractors to attempt to do work at all, The committee then adjourned for lunoh, and will meet azain this evening, Mr. J, B. Smith, head of tho firm that has the contract for paving Leavenworth stroety said that in Chicago where a very rigid ine spection was had that vory often t he paving inspectors were called upon to reject 20 per cent of the blocks delivered on the ground. He considered Major Balcombe’s inspection too severe, and had_quit trying to furnish blocks himself, but was seiling his codar for posts, “We aro getting a good class of publia works,”” smid Mayor Broateh, “‘and the rigid inspection is doing it. Still, I am of the opinion that Major Balcombe's inspection is 109 rigid, The people have a right to nsk for cedar block 1f they want it, and all they re« quiro 1s that good material be used, It s easy to make inspection so severe that it will ruin contractors, J. B, Smith & Co. paved Dodge street in front of my property and made an excellont Job of 1. Continuing thys Investigation. The committee, after lunch, visited Naugle & Qo.'s yards and examined the matorial on hand, Thore were sixteen car loads of blocks from which those on Leavenworth stroot were taken, Those wero the red col- ored blocks that were cut and floated down Whito Fish river, Michigan. The blocks were wet when loaded in the cars and - are consequently consideraly discolored, After examining about a dozen car loads Major Balcombe called the attention of the com= mitteo to a car which he thought were especially bad. He threw out a dozen blocks and invited the committeo to examine them. Mr. Counsman went at tho collection with his little hutchot and demonstratod to the committee, and even to Mujor Balcombe, that tho blocks were of a really superior, rather than an inferior quality. This closed the work of inspection on the committee's part_and an adjournment was taken until evening. The committee met at the council chamber last night, Mossrs. Bailey, Counsman and Snyder being present, Major Halcombe failod to put in_an_appearance. Mr., Gray and Inspector Donovan were present. The committeo indulged in an_iaformal talle and expressed themselves as satisfled that the material complained of was really of a good auality and fit for us Mr. Donuvan was sely questioned by the committee and Mr, Gray and finally ad- mitted that the inspection demanded by Ma- jor Balcombe was so rigid that he had at times been compelled to reject blocks that in his own judgment he considered good and vroper material. This was espocially true of the work on Spaulding street whera good blocks were rejected soiely on account of their color. The committee will meet again at 9 o'clocl: this afternoon to make their report to be subimtted at a special meeting on Satur- day night.
