WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—The offic the United States marine hospital service are watching with interest the results obtained from the new diphtheria cure. The officials are already in possession of considerabie in- formation as to the manner and result of ap- plying the anti-toxine in Berlin and Paris, and the bureau recently published two reports made by Dr. J. J. Kinyoun, who visited the children’s hospital at the former place and the Pasteur institute at Paris to study the methods in vogue there. The doctor's report of his visit to the Pasteur institute has al- ready been published. At the children’s hospital at Berlin, Dr. Kinyoun says the majority of patients suffering from diphtheria are {reated. There were about thirty-five cases in the hospital at the time of his visit and their. age-was. usually § to 6 years. . The by the als of methods of giving the injections of anti-toxine and the time for sthelr administration are h the same as in the Pasteur institute. o fi? death rate is slightly lower than the res, of the Parig hospitals for the. reason t in_ the first plice the patients are sent te the hospital sooner, and because the little children receive betler care then is accorded them In the like fnstitutions in Paris. Dr. Kinyoun goes into a very claborate de- seription of the methods and practices em- ployed in the hospital in the treatment of the discase. The matter of the control or supervision of the use of the anti-toxine is also engaging the attention of the local au- thorities, and Dr. Kinyoun reports that on November 4 Prof. Kock convened a meeting of the Prussian Board of Helath for de- termining what action should be taken. Prof. Koch had expressed the op'nion that there should be some government supervision of the serum so that it could always be relied upon. If there was no such supervision it would not be long before spurious articles would be put on the market, and not only would a remedy be brought into d'srepute, but lives might be sacrificed when they might be saved. It was decided at the meeting of the board that all serum intended for use in Prussia should be Inspected and tested for its purity and strength before it would be al- lowed to be used. This step, the doctor re- ports, was satisfactory to all the parties con- cerned, and will be the means of insuring a good article of standard strength at all times for Prussia. In this connection Dr. Kinyoun calls attention to what he says will un- doubtedly obtain in our country. Many per- gons will, during the coming year, commence to prepare the serum as a business enterprise, and there will, without doubt, be many worthless articles called anti-toxine thrown upon the market. All the serum intended for sale, he believes, should be made or tested by competent persons. The testing, in fact should be done by disinterested partie: ‘The anti-toxine, he says, will never work | miracles; it has its lmits, like any other agents, and like a perfect piece of machinery, willnot accomplish the full result unless di- rected by a skilled band. ‘Some persons affected with this dread dis- ease will succumb, It matters not how soon we apply the remedy. The majority will, however, 1 am sura, recover, if the anti- tox:ne Is given early and properly.'” In closing the report he expresses the hope that soon every state and municipality will take steps to provide facilities for sup- plylng the remedy (o the people. Incor- porated in the report are a number of tubles or charts showing the effects on the respira- tlon, pulso and temperature of the adminis- tration of the antl-tox'ne in various cases, NEW TREASURY STATEMENT, More Comprohensive Than Those Heretofore Sent Our, WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—The department has prepared a form of statement which will show the receipts and expenditures of the government and the con- dition of the treasury at 2 o'clock on eacih business day.

Chinese Who Were ueated in Winning Wany Laurels, WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—United State Minister Denby has sent to the State depart- ment an interesting sketch of the history of a number of Chinese students who were educated in the United States and afterward returned to China. Thirty of these boys were America sent afterward. They were put of Yung Wing, a graduate of Yale. in charge Charges lost their patriotism and in 1881 they were all recalled and unfortunately for China their system of education was abandonsd, The legation at Peking and the American friends of these boys have watched with interest their carcers since their return. A previous digpatch reported the gallant conduct of five of thése students during the action with the French at Foo-Chow, wherein one lost his life, and Minister Denby says it affords him pleasure to report the distinguished bravery ond gallantry displayed by some of the | American students in the great naval battle off the mouth of the Yalu river, September 17 last. Of ten persons recommended for distinction by LI Hung Chang, four were former American students. Wo Yiyen Foo studied in the Sheffield scientific school at New Haven and served in the northern | squadron. He has been brevetted a com- mander with a red button of the second rank and with special decorations for bravery and good service. Cho Kain Chang studied first in North Hadley, Mass, and graduated at Phillips academy. He also served in the northern squadron, was brevetted captain, has a second rank red hutton and commands a steel crulser. Tsu Chung Tog studied in a Massachusetts academy and served in the northern squadron, has a second rank red button and is first officer of a cruiser.

He was killed while escorting the Kow Shing and was buried with honors. His son will be pen- sioned. 1OLICS AND SECK T SOCIETIES, Methods of Promuigating the Edict and Making it Effcetive, WASHINGTON, Dee. 20.—The manner of executing the Catholic church edict against membership in the Kuights of Pythias, 0dd Fellows and other socleties is now receiving the careful consideration of the church authoriti Mgr. Satolli has transmitted the decision to the heads of all dioceses throughout the country, and it remains for them to convey it to parish priests, and for the latter to give it practical application and execution, each having considerable latitude as to how he shall act. No time is set within_which the heads of dioceses may act. Some already have notified their ish priests to read the prohibition to congre- gations tomorrow with the annu'ncements | preceding masses. Other bishops have not required a public announcement to the con- gregations, as the communications from Rome and from Mgr. Satolli do not direct a formal publication, and they make it ef- fectivo largely through the confessional. It, therefore, may take some' time for the papal decree to become fully effective, and to reach those. persons who continue their members hip in ‘secret socleties after the order of the church. becomes known. Communion is not taken tiecessarily more than once a year, though it is customary with most Catholics to take the communion to which confession is an absolute essential at Easter. Other means, however, are at hand for speedily carrying the papal order into practical effect. There are published lists of the members of the Knights of Pythias and other socie- ties, so that Catholic members of them are readily ascertainable. Should these members remain away from confession beyond a year they would thereby cut themselves off from tho church. If they attended confession they would voluntarily abandon their society connections and receive absolution, or else be examined on the subject, and if refusing to abandon their connections, —absolution would be withheld. This would also oper- ate to cut off the church member from com- munion, and, therefore, from membership in the church. No formal excommunication would be reauisite. It is pointed out that the church decision will be most important in keeping Catholies from joining the pro- hibited socleties in the future. In this re. spect the church authorities say the decision should 1ot be construed as against the Knights of Pythias, Oda Fellows, ete., but only as a rule of conduct enjoined on mem- bers of the church, whereby the church re- tains control of the conscience of. its mem- bers, instead of letting them be bound by secret oaths, VISITED THE B| (G PRINT SHOP. John Burns Much Pleased with the Govern- ment Printing Oflce, WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—John Burns, the English labor leader, lost no time in get- ting to work after his arrival at Washing- ton this morning. He was taken in charge by James A. Power, organizer of the Inter- national Typographical union, and with his companion, J. Williams Benn, M. P., began an inspection of the government printing office. Afterward hq called on Commissioner of Labor Carrol D.\Wright, and before he had been in the city three hours he had col- lected a box full of statistical works to be ed to Bngland. Concerning his observa- tions Mr. Burns said: “I am enamored of the principle of the government doing its 1 came to Washington with deep the government printing office reason, and on my return I will o ything that 1 can to induce Great Britain to abandon the contract system of printing, as 1 have done in the past.” When the attack of Colonel Rend in Pitts- burg last night was spoken of Mr. Burns said: came to America on the whole a sympathetic and, 1 think, an unprejudiced observer of its municipal and industrial life. No Amerlcan, 1 think, will say that a con- tinent so0 near the old world that it can casily absorb its bad as well as good In- fluences will not show black spots. For- tunately I have on my side the best critics of your municipal conditions—all of the news- papers and every municipal reformer. My only critic in Pitisburg was one who came to curse John Burns and went away to bless him. He ended his participation in that meeting by objeeting to sessions in the city for that in its precincts, a most striking confirmation of my criticlsm.

WASHINGTON, Dee, 2 The talk of an early extra of the Fifty-fourti con- gress has been revived at the capital by the which may of the failure of necessary legisla‘ion to pass at the it session. Upon two pending bills, | generally belleved, hinges the question of | Mr. Cleveland will convoke the new soon after the death of the WFifty third on March 4. These two bills are the urgent deficiency bill, which contains the for carrying the 1o effect, and which is pending senate, and the Carlisle currency biil, whic under debate in the house, and the fate of which will be decided soon after (he house reconvenes January 3. The opponents of the income tax, led, it is understood, Senators Hill and Quay, will make a des- rate fight in the senate, and will exhau parliamentary expedient to 'lefeat it. Mr. Quay, it is said, has added largely to the accumulated speech with which he proposed talking the tarifft bill to death last session unless certain changes were made in the wool chedule, and is prepared for a long siege. He has already enough manuseript, it is sald, to consume a month’s time of the senate, and with proper support believes the efforts of the income tax opponents will be successful. Many democratic members of the senate, however, affect to belleve that the ultimate defeat of the bill before adjournment is impossible. 1 it should fail an extra & sion would be imperative if the administra- tion proposes to make the income tax op- erative. The currency bill, offered by tie adminis- tration as a means of partially relieving the treasury, is regarded as of paramouat im- portance. The condition of the treasury is critical. The old reserve is dwindling rap tdly, and another bond issue is regarded as inevitable if nothing is done to prevent the present drain of gold. Mr. Cleveland, it is understood on high autherity, is very much in earnest in his desire for some legisla- tion at this session to relleve the treasury and if it is not forthcoming there are many who believe he will immediately = convoke the Rifty-fourth congress and ask the needed relief of his political adversaries. It must not be forgotten, however, there are many of the republican leaders opposed to any tactics which will make an extra session necessary. They belleve, from a political standpoint,” that it would be bad policy, and will not encourage or even aba' any ‘move looking to that end. Should Mr. Cleveland call an extra session he would be the second president since the war. to con- vene congress in extraordinary session twice during his term of office. - Uglil Mr. Cl land convened the extra session in August last year no extra session had been c since 1879, when Mr. Hayes called an ext dinary session two weeks after his auguration. That session was forced by eral riders which the democrats, who control of the house, had placed on the army appropriation bill. One of them repealed the law permitting soldiers at the polls. Al- though the democrats had elected a narrow majority to the ensuing house on that occa- sion, the brief time allowed by Mr. Hayes for the representatiyes-eleet to reach” Washington (two ' weeks) made ‘ft almost. impossible for them ' to organize the house.” The'democratic national committee, it will: be ‘remembered, on that occasion ran a special train across the continent from Oregen to -bring Repre- sentative Whittaker here in time to vote: There was much excitement at the time, fol- lowing, as it did, on the heels of the famous Hayes-Tilden controversy, but the train ar- rived in season, beating all records of trans- continental travel up to that time. Another episode cf that organization was the dramatic and tragic entrance Into the house of Rep- resentative Lay of Missouri, who was very ill, and who was carried to the capitol on a stretcher, that he might complete the vote necessary to make Samuel J. Randall speaker. He voled, but was carried from the -cham- ber, never to enter it again. Of course there would be no necessity for such herole means of procuring the attendance of members from the remote corners of the country if there should be an extra session of the Fifty-fourth ress called almost immediately after the sine die adjournment of the Fifty-third, as the republican majority in the house is over- whelming. But as the senate will be’close there might be something exciting in the organization of the upper house. sossion contingencies arise out pres is whether ppropriation appropriation income tax in the by ev tha Greek Lotters at Washington.

LOUIS, Dec. 20.—The work of the conference of the national committee of the people’s party, with the leading members of the rank and file, came to a fruition tonight when that committee submitted to the con- ference as the result of the,discussion an address to the party and the people. dts presentation was met by the gathering with a shout that rang through the hall, and the endorsement of the conferente was given with a vigorous viva voce vote, The ad- dress is as follows “The natfonal commitiee of the people's party sends greeting “to its constituency throughout the United States. The rapid in- crease of our vote in every part of the union and the startling events of the past two years vividly justify both the existence of and necessity for the people's party. The contentivn of the party that one of the great needs of this country has been and Is an enlarged volume of circulating medium, is now practically conceded by all parties and by the government. The gold power and banking interests are insisting to the presi- dent and his secretary that the enlarged issue of our money supply shall be given ex- clusively into the hands of the banks; that silver shall be excluded, all treasury notes retired and that gold alone shall be legal tender, thus making the monetary question an issiie which must be met at once. “Within the present year the corporations, grown arrogant because of the vast posses: sions of wealth and the exercise of uncon- stitutional powers, have made war upon the people and induced the federal courts to ex- ercise in their interest unusual and arbitrary powers, Induced the invasion of the states by federal troops without the requests of either the executive of said states or the legislatures thereof, and are at this time, through a recreant administration and a truculent con- gress, attempting to clothe railroad corpora- tions, by means of a pooling bill, with power to 'further and more systematically rob, oppress and plun- der the people; and having already deprived the peopie of access to the silver mines of the country as an independent source of money supply, are now, in the in- terest of a banking oligarchy, endeavoring to deprive them of the right to have their government, in the exercise of its constitu- tional power, issue the money of the nation and control its volume. In the opinion of your committee, these events are startling, subversive of the liberties of the citizen and destructive of business and social security; and, adhering to the Omaha platform in all its 'integrity, your committee insists upon the restoration of the-coinage of gold and silver as it existed prior to 1873—at the ratio of 18 to 1—without regard to the action of any other nation; and that all paper money hall be issued by the general government without the: intervention of banks of issue, the same to be a full legal tender. We also declare our implacable hostility to the fur- ther issuo of interest-bearing honds. DENOUNCE THE POOLING BILL. “Wo denounce the pooling bill as a move towards completing the monopoly of trans. portation, and demand that instead congress proceed to bring the railroads under govern- ment ownership. The power given congress by the constitution ‘to provide for the call- ing forth of the militia to execute the laws of the union, to suppress insurrections, to re- pel invasions,’ does not warrant the govern- ment in making use of a standing army in aiding - monopolies *in the oppression of the public and their employes. When freemen unsheath the sword it should be to strike for liberty, not for despotism, nor to uphold privileged ‘monopolies in the oppression of the poor. “We ask the people to forget all past po- litical differences and unite with us in the common purpose to rescue the government from the control of monopolists and concen- trated wealth; to limit the powers of perpetu- ation by curtailing their privileges and to se- cure the rights of free epeech, a free prgss and tria) by jury—all rules, regulations and judicial - dicta in derogation of either of which are arbitrary, unconstitutional and not to be tolerated by a free people. “We recommend the immediate organiza- tion of an educational campaign by the na- tional, state and local committees.” In addition to this the national committee adopted the following resolution: “In view of the fact that the state of Ala- bama and other southern states are without a republican government because of the rules of a political oligarchy which s perpetuated by monstrous frauds at the ballot box, the imperative necessity of a free ballot and an honest count is a constitutional right, and we demand that it be given, and move that the chairman of the national executive commit- tec appoint a committee of three to submit evidence to the press of the country and to congress to substantiate this alarming and revolutionary condition, that they may be awakened to the threatenings of peril caused by this existing aristocratic anarchy in the south.”” The following were appointed: J. §. Man- ning, Alabama, chairman; Henry D. Lloyd, Ilinols; Lee Crandall, Alabama. ROUTINE WORK OF THE DAY. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 20.—This morning's ses- sion of the people’s party convention opened with no regular business at hand, pending reports of committees. By unanimous con- sent the temporary officers were continued as permanent, A committee of five to pre- pare a plan for a methodical campaign of education, with T. M. Byron of lowa as chalrman, was appointed, The committee on credentials reported nothing before it for transaction, and was directed by the con- ference to consider its duties negative, that is, to pass upon the rights of any person prese’t to whom cbjction mi:ht be made, Considerable time was then occupied by remarks upon various subjects by members of the conference, including the recent el tion in Alabama, educational comp The committee on educational campaign reported in favor of a club or lyceum sys- tem as auxiliary to the regular campaign work, but under the di tion of a sey national committee, the system of orga tion to be similar to that of the older par ties' clubs, After considerable desultory bate the report was amended by striking out the clause placing the organization of the club system in the hands of a new hational committee and refe g It to the existing state committees, The report was then adopted. = Upon motion of Mrs, Striker of Kansas, the national committee was requested, in sending out literature upon the Omaha plat- form, to include therewith a proper propor- tion of literature upon woman suffrage. The conference then took a recess for din- ner, and to await the report of an address to the party. At the afiernoon session, at the request of the national central committee, a committee of six, Messrs. Lloyd (IIL), Grott (Ohio), cereign (Ia.), Breidenthal (Kan.), Howard ) and Hunter (N. Y.), was appointed y the chairman on the part of the confel uss with the national committee prepa of the address to the party. Pending u report from the committee, the conference listened to addresses from a number of delegates upon plans of cam- paign, the initiative and refs dum and other 'matters. During the discussion of the referendum, which was supposed to be for the friends’ of the plan, W. J. Costigan of Topeka, Kan., created a whirl of excitement by getting the floor with a declaration that ‘there are men from my state advocatin the initiative and referendum whose equal ot be found this side of hell.” It re- @ thunderous hammering by the us « the measur further such utterances. The Coxey non-interest bearing bond osition was also discussed at some In this manner the time was spen the evening recess. At the evening session, after some delay, a committee was sent to request that the ad dress 10 be presented to the people be pre sented forthwith, The effort to secure the document was successful, and in behalf of the national committee and its advisers from the conference General J. B. Weaver presented the report. It was read in full and without amendment or change of any sort endorsed by the conference. e e Great Da e to the Orange Crop.

Robert ginla stock county, of the ption in Johnson, case, though oft told 1874, will bear repeti an Ohio boy, of Vir. went to farming in 1858 in In 1874 Jones Towa, Farmer Potter of Greene county. went to Johnson and said he wanted to buy some calves, A stranger thereabouts, who has since succeeded cealing himself from observation, mus heard of this; he went to Johnson and him five small, dark calves, which 1, 1874, Johnson delivered to Potter. Just then Farmer John Foreman of Jones county discovered that five calves had disappeared from his farm. He had seen Johnson five calves away to deliver to Potter, but made no inquiry about the matter until after ward. Farmer Peter Onstott saw A man named Smith, con- sold Drover missed Potter. ~ When Farmer Foreman property in Potter's herd. Potter said had bought from Johnson the calves which Foreman now identified as his own. from Johnson the value of his missing calv which Johnson, though an innocent man, gav to Foreman in the shape of a note for $1; Johnson then tried to find the mysterious villain Smith, intending, no doubt, to make Smith give him* (Johnson) a note for $45, but Smith had vanished. Determined to have satisfaction somehow, Johnson, who was then only 30 odd years of age, took a jaunt out to Greene county, and, on being shown by Potter the calves which Farmer Foreman had claimed as his missing property, swore that he (Johinson) had never sold those calves to Potter and that he would not pay the $43 note he had given to Foreman Mr. Foreman then concluded that it was time for him to take amother hand in the game. He was fairly pining for the excite- ment of a law suit, He sent word to Potter that if he (Potter) did not institute criminal proceedings against Johnson, he viz., (Fore man), would invoke the majesty of the crim- inal law against him (Potter.) So Potter went all the way to Jones county again, joined the Anti-Horse thief association and succeeded in having the unfortunate John- son indicted for the larceny of $45 worth of calves. The mysterious villain named Smith still remained in abeyance. This was in De- cember, 1874, Now comes fun. The Jones calf case was now moved to Blackhawk county, Towa. Judge Bagg got hold of the case, and when the jury found a verdict of $5,000 in Johnson's favor he, Bagg, promptly overruled a motion for a new trial, and entered judgment against the six_remaining anti-horse thieves, The supreme court of lowa now hack at the Jones county calf case and re- versed this judgment on appeal. Johnson, who L...i been worth more than $10,000 when the calf case began, was now (1888) almost a pauper, and the cost taxed in court, inde- pendent of enormous attorneys’ fees and ex- penses, were $2,336.42. Seventy witness were held for eleven days in the town of Blackhawk, and the hotel had such a_boom that it declared a quarterly dividend before the case was half over. There was another trial and another verdict for Johnson, who had become so used to getting verdicts that he was almost reconciled to not getting any- thing else. The supreme court had become quite_interested in the Jones county calf case by this time, however, and it promptly set_this verdict aside also. “Therc was a sound of revelry by night” in Waterloo soon afterwards, for it was for- mally announced that'the Jones county calf case’ was to be tried all over again. Mr. Johnson got another verdict for $1,000, and the six anti-horse thfeves again appealed to the supreme court. The didn’'t want to pay §7,000 worth of court costs if they could help 'it, but the supreme court wouldn't re- verse the judgment. The indictment was quashed in May, 1875. In December, 1875, a new indictment was found and a change of venue to Cedar county was secured by Johnson, In 1876 there was a trial, and the jury stocd cleven to one for ac- quitting Johnson. Then there was another trial and Johnson was acquitted, Farmer Peter Onstott testifying that the calves Fore- man claimed from Potfer was not the calves Johnson had sold to Potter, and that Potter knew it, and had even admitted it, but had advised Farmer Onstott to keep his mouth shut, which Farmer Onstott would under no circumstances agree to do. ““Heigho,” said Farmer Johnson to him- self, after hearing Farmer Onstott testify, “let us have more law.” So he began an action for $10,000 damages in Anamosa, Linn county, against seven prominent members of the Anti-Horse-Thief association. A verdict for $3,000 was rendered in Johnson's favor, but the judge, probably hating to sce a lead- ing calf ‘case spolled, as it were, set the ver- dict aside. The defendants were anti-horse- thieves, as follows: 1. V. Miller, David Fall John_Foreman, Abe Miller, Herman Kellar and 8. D. Potfer. They were real glad, the judge felt, that he had charged the jury wrong. When there was another trial "the jury disagreed. All hands now voted for a change of venue and more juries and more trials. So they moved the Jones county calf case to the town of Clinton, in Clinton county, lowa, and lo, (he jury assessed $7,600 damages in Johnson's favor. ~The Clinton county judge pondered awhile and finally concluded ihat the verdict of the jury would have been against only six of the seven anti-horse thieves, as there was no evidence against the seventh, Har- mon Kellar, So away goes the verdict, and everybody said: “Set ‘em up again.” Having been muleted in this grievous man- ner the six anti-horse thieves now came into court once more and asked if they couldn’t have $1,000 knocked off the bill of costs they hadto pay, inasmuch as Harmon Kellar, who had been let off by the Clinton county judge, ought to pay at least one-seventh of the costs for all the fun he had had. Judge Linchan overruled. the motion of the six anti-horse thieves, but they were not disconcerted by a little thing like that, and they once more appealed to the supreme court of Towa, where the caso was decided again a few days ago. The six anti-horse thieves are pretty well ruined by this time, and Johnson, who has had to leave Jones county, and lives near by in Cedar county, may eventually get back a part of the comfortable little fortune Le has blown in on the $45 calves. Do of lawyers have fattened on calf case and 114 jurors have heard its merits, ernor Horace Boles was one of the lawyers, and Counsellor C. 1. Wheeler, who began “as office boy o an attorney's firm" when the case began, is now a moss-grown limb of the law. The plaintiff has paid out $4,800 that he knows of. Of the eight trial judges who have htard the case at one time or another two are dead. Two of the defendants, the anti-horse thieves—viz, E. V. and Abe Mil- ler—are dead. —_——— HERALD'S SPECLAL, took a CHICAG Makes the Run to Atanta, Ga., in Time for Supper.

Both wera connected with fires which resulted in very little damage and in nefther could lame be at hed to any one. As n result of the first accident i Kling, ;llu' driver of hook and ladder No. 1, which Is stabled at No. 8 engine house, was almost fustantly Killed. Shortly after & o'clock an alarm was turned in from the corner of Fifteenth and Farnam streets, The chime ney of the Barker building had caught fire and some of the flying sparks had alighted on the awning before a window In the office of Ringwalt Bros. on the third floor. Sar geant Whalen of the police department thinking that the blaze was issuing from the window, pulled in the alarm. Before the firemen turned on a stream the fire was ex- tirgulshied. Acting Chief Salter ordered the companies to return to their houses and the last apparatus to leave was the heavy hook and ladder truck. As it turned up the hill on Farnam street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, it was not going fast. The truck weighs 9,000 pounds, and to ascend the hill it was necessary for the horses to ga on the Jump. Driver Kling arose in the senyt to whip up the leaders. As the truck was being driven over to the north side of the. street the front wheels were caught in the street railway track, giving a jerk to the truck, and Driver Kling shot from the seat to the ground He struck on his head, At this instant the horses started to run, and the hind wheel of the heavy truck pasiel over his back. The injured man was carried into the Merchants hotel, in front of which the accident occurred. He was breathing, but before he was placed on a bed he was dead. An_examination immediately made and it was found that Kling's back was broken. The right side of the head was also injured, but the injury was slight. Cor= oner Maul was called ~ and the body was placed in his care. An inquest will be held Monday afternoon. Eli Kling has been the driver of the big hook and ladder truck ever since he came on the departmert, four years ago. He had always been found a sober, industrious man and was very well liked by his assoclates. Before going on the department he was employed by the Merchants Express com- pany for seven years and was considered an exceptional man. The only relative that he had in the city was a brother, who Is now employed by the Merchants Express com- pany. His old home was at Bennett, Miaml county, Ind. where his fiv brothers and one sister are now living. His body will be sent to them after the inquest, where the burial will take place. He was 82 years of age. MAN AND HORSES HURT. The other accident took place at the corner of Twenty-eighth and Leavenworth streets. An alarm had been turned in from the box at_the corner of Twenty-eighth and Jones street and the fire was at 2611 St. Mary's avenue. The apparatus from No. 10 engine house, at the southeast corner of Hanscom park, responded. The hose wagon went up Georgla avenue to Leavenworth street. As it turned the corner of these two streats a motor car was running west. The driver of the wagon tried to get on the south side of the street and attempted to cross.in front, of the motor. One of the wheels caught. in the rail, and although the motor ‘was almost at a_standstill the two vehicles collided The driver of the wagon, A. Wavring, was thrown from the seat to the ground, but: was not injured. A pipeman, J. C. Daily, who was on the seat with Wavring, re-. tained his hold, but was badly brulsed by the collision. The ladders on the sides of the wagon plunged through several of the win- dows of the motor car and the corner of tha car was also badly broken. The horses of the wagon were so badly injured that the will be laid up for some time, one of them recelving a long gash on the flank. Daily was carried to Parks' drug store on’ the corner of Park avenue and Leavenworth. An _examination disclosed that he was badly bruised about the hips, but the injuries ard’ not serions. He was taken (o his home, at 2020 Martha street. + Wayring was not in case wred.
