The Distins guished Physici; = lated. ysicilan Congratu Ta every well established commu- nity will be found, for tha ben: fit of white people only, well equipped Plivate sanitariums. These insti- tutiins are often conducted ty Fome one reputable physician, with possibly several associates, Iv them will be found all of the latest medical and surgical appliances that are necessary for the modern treatment of diseases, according to the latest views and researches in Savitation and asepsis. Iu medi- cine the last few years have shown at least as much, if not more, pro- gress as has been made by the human miud along any other avenue of tesearch. In a large number of both medical and sargi- cal cases, the progress in treatment has overeached any facilities afforded by a private residence, to say nothing of hotels and boarding houses. This fact is fully recog- nzed by the best class of white people in their extens've patronage of these private sanitariums throughout the country. The advantage offerded by such iusti- tations is conspiciously great in maternity cases. Here, the unfortunate ang friendless mother can, for a small consideration, receive the latest scientitic treatment at tLe hands of a skilled obstetrician and careful, \f ithful and tender nurses, pro- tected from the gaze and ¢riticism ef the public during her maternity. Dr, Fiancis bas just completed bis arrangements tor the opening of such an institution. After a pe riod of 18 years practice and careful observaticn, he has become con= vinced of the fact that such an iu- stitution, where citizens regardless of color, can receive treatment is a necessity 1n any community. This is especially the cage in Washing- ton. Tue field here is large on account of the great floating popu- lation found so extensively in our hotels and boarding houses. Our homeless teachers and government employees are also to be congratu- jated om having a physiciav of Dr. Francis’ experience and reputation to offer to them the skillful tieat- ment guaranteed by such an insti- tution in bishands, We know him to be a man who will sp?re no ‘means to have things doce right. As tar as we know, this 18 the first hospital of its kind opened by a colored pbysician in the country. We understand the fee will be sacb that any honest person who is able to employ a pysiciin at home will be able to receive treatmeut at this wstitulion. The admissious wil: not be confined to patients from Dr. Francis own private practice. Those of any reputable physician, will be adwitted on bis recomme: - datiou for treatment at his hand , a fee being charged only for room, nurse aad material. Hs has completed arrangements with the leading members of the profession to act as «associates, thereby guaranteeing to bis patients at avy hour of the day or night, the best medical skiil in any specialty of the medical profession. Dr. Francis is indeed progressive and his sanitarium is a certainty. Washivgton is to be congratalated. A representative of the BEE in conversation with some of the rep resensative citizeps, thought that the new enterprise uf Dr. Francie was just tbe thing for the people. Dr. Credit, the eminent divine, oj this city, said it isa great move. Ll is just what be hs been waiting for. Hon. B. K. Brace, thinks that Ds. Frascis bas struck the key note.

Pocomoke City, Md., Jan. 2. -— The Parker Hotel was the scene of a ro- mantic marriage yesterday. The con- tracting parties were Douglas lL. Som- mers and Miss Florence Lewis, of Bloxom, Va. They came here io es- cape the wrathful ire of their object- ing parents. The Rey. E. S. Tuttle was sent for, and performed the cere- mony in the parlor of the Parker Ho- tel. Mrs. Lewis, mother cf the bride, arrived early yesterday morning in pursuit of her daughter, who she says is under age. She caused a great deal of excitement over the girl’s marriage, but Mr. and Mrs. Sommers left on a train for their home in Virginia in the afternoon. FIFTY LIVES LOST. Fearful Storms Along the British and French Coasts. London, Jan. 2.—Fearful storms are reported from all parts of the British and French coasts. It is estimated that at least fifty lives have been lost. The Ramsgate (Kent) lifeboat crew put to sea at midnight and returned at noon with the crew of the schooner Union, wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. It is regarded as certain that the col- lier Napoli and the fishing stéamer Nordsee both foundered off the Dutch coast on Saturday. There were twen- ty-five persons on both vessels, and there is hardly a doubt that all of them A FEARFUL WRECK. A British Bark Goes Ashore and Her Crew !s Drowned. London, Dec. 31.—The British bark Osseo was wrecked in a gale at Holy- head yesterday morning, and with her perished her entire crew of twenty-six men. The Osseo was driven ashore tack of the Holyhead breakwater. Her signals of distress were first heard by the coast guard about 4 o’clock in the morning. At that time it was pitch dark, and great waves were washing over the breakwater. In spite of the danger of being washed into the sea, the guard proceeded along the break- water, and, having rigged up the rock- et apparatus, began firing life lines in the direction of the wreck. The faint light of the rockets soon disclosed the fact that the vessel had broken In two amidships, and that the main mast | had fallen, crushing the lives out of | several of the crew. A few survivors were drowned. A number of fishing~' boats which left Cherbourg on Satur- day have also been lost, and probably their crews. The Girl Was Savea. New Brunswick, Jan. day afternoon, opposite this daughter of Patrick Farrington, of No. 120 Burnet street, and Charles Cros- | sin, aged nineteen, of No. 11 Hassart street, narrowly escaped drowning. ; The young couple skated into an air hole. Young Crossin got out quickly, but before he could turn to assist his companion, James Payton, of No. 267 Redmond street, plunged into the icy water, and, assisted by Richard Har- denbergh, jr., rescued Miss Farring- ton. She was taken to Klein’s restau- rant in Albany street, and soon recov- ered from the shock attending her plunge into the cold stream. Another Hotel Holocaust. Lancaster, Ky., Jan. 2.—The Miller Hotel was burned yesterday. There were four persons in the building at the time—Edward A. Pascoe and wife, his baby, about two years of age, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Masters. The wife only escaped. No other persons were in the hotel, as Pascoe had made all arrangements to give it up. The fire is believed to have been of incen- diary origin. A Street Car Accident. Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 2.—Six per- sons were injured in a street car acci- dent in Brooklyn yesterday. A car of | the Franklin avenue line was run into and wrecked by a car of the Fulton street line. The injured are William Purblo, John Salker, Charles W. Mur- phy, a well-known bicyclist, severe in- ternal injuries; A. W. Franklin, Mrs. Elizabeth Saunders, of Jersey City. Mosher Defeats Donoghue. Newburg, N. Y., Jan. 2.—Yesterday afternoon a large crowd witnessed the skating races on Orange Lake, which had been arranged as preliminaries to the National Amateur Skating Asso- ciation races set for January 19. The principal eyent was the race between ; James A. Donoghue, of this city, and Howard Mosher, of Storm King. Mosher won easily. Mexico Shaken, St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 2.—A special to the Globe-Democrat from the City of | Mexico says that Sunday night an os- cilliatory earthquake shock was felt in that city and other parts of the | valley of Mexico. The movement was, east and north, but of short duration. | The disturbance caused great alarm. Killed at a Crossing. Gath, Me. Jan. 2—Miss Catherine Patten, aged eighteen, was killed and Miss Jenny Harvey and Mr. William Thompson were severely injured at the Centre street crossing of the Maine | Central railroad yesterday.

Newton, Mass., Jan. 2.—Timothy Mallery and James Ford, while dig- ging in a trench at Newtonville yester- day, were hurled twenty feet by the explosion of a dynamite cartridge. Mallery died soon after. Ford is se- verely hurt. Killed Ais Wife and Child. Bay City, Mich., Jan. 2—Daniel G. Tromley, a lumber inspector, twenty- eight years of age, crazed over politics, murdered his wife by cutting her throat, smothered his child and set fire to the house. Tromley was ar- rested. He attempted suicide by dumping inte a well 2.—While | skating on the Raritan River yester- ' city, Mamie Farrington, aged fifteen, a/ could be seen clinging to each half of the vessel, and their pitcous cries for heip could be heard above the roar of the storm. After many failures the coast guard succeeded in firing a line over the wreck, but by that time all on board had perished. A lifeboat vainly tried again and again to ap- proach the wreck. Not a vestige of the bark could be seen to-day, and there is no prospect of any salvage. The Osseo was a bark of 1,399 tons. She arrived at Falmouth on December 15 from Taltal, and had been ordered to Anderson. Reports of stormy weather continue to be received from all parts of Europe. Numerous small wrecks and casualties are reported in Great | Britain and Ireland. Many lives were saved by lifeboats. A severe gale is | blowing on the Baltic, and navigation is suspended at Copenhagen. PARKHURST DISSATISFIED. An Understanding Between Lexow and Supt. Byrnes. New York, Dec. 31.—In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Dr, Park- burst was asked: “Have you an idea from reading the testimony of Supt. Byrnes that there was a previous un- derstanding between the Superinten- dent and the Lexow Committee?” He replied: “There is not the slightest doubt about it. In fact, I am free to say that I knew some time ago that there was an understanding between the committee and Mr. Byrnes. I am not prepared to say that Mr. Goff had any knowledge of it, but the under- standing involved the manner in which Mr. Byrnes was to be treated. Just what the understanding was I decline to state, but I knew that Byrnes was not to be badly damaged. I first made up my mind that there was an under- standing when I heard that Byrnes was supplying the committee with in- formation. My sentiments in regard to Mr. Byrnes are the same now as they always have been. I have been fighting Mr. Byrnes three years, and he has been fighting us, and I am firm- ly of the conviction that if I care for the safety of our organization I can- not afford to become allied with the enemy in any way, shape or manner. I look upon Supt. Byrnes as a consti- uent part of a system that is corrupt, and for that reason I do not believe it is wise to have any dealings with him.” A Chinaman Suicides. Watertown, N. Y., Dec. 31. — Lee Ling, a Chinese, aged eighteen, who had been a prisoner in the county jail here since November 19 on a charge of assault, committed suicide in his cell yesterday afternoon by hanging. On November 19 Ling entered a laundry, of which his consin, Charles Jim, is proprietor, and demanded $200, say- ing he wanted to go back to China. Jim refused to give him the money, and Ling, armed with a long knife, thereupon rushed upon him, cutting his arm and inflicting other slight wounds. Ling had been in this coun- try only two years. A Hermit Frozen to Death. Wichita, Kan., Dec. 31—Emile Lan- nes, a hermit for a dozen years in a canyon in Beaver County, No Man’s Land, was found frozen to death in his rude hut. A crucifix was grasped tightly in one hand and a rosary in the other. He was ninety years of age and was said to be a son of one of | Napoleon’s marshals. The hut he lived | in contained nothing but a rough table, | a few cooking utensils and about fifty ; ' volumes of French religious books. A Fire at Sing Sing Sing, N. Y., Dec. 31.—Fire was discovered in the storehouse and laun- ; dry of Sing Sing prison yesterday morning. Although the firemen re- sponded promptly the flames had gain- ed considerable headway. The burned buildings are located in the northeast portion of the prison yard. The loss is estimated at $2,500, and is not in- sured. The cause of the fire is a mys- tery. Stamped Envelopes Cheaper. Washington, Dec. 31—Third Assist- ant Postmaster-General Craige has is- sued a circular informing postmasters of a reduction in the prices of stamped envelopes and newspapers after Janu- ary 1, 1895.
