SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 18ST.

One is a professor in one of the medical schools here, and two others occupy official positions in th e medical service of the government It is in fact not too mncb to say, now that the session of the congress is half over, that it has proven a failure. The officers who are chiefly responsible for such a state of matters still loudly deny this, but as an official of the section f general medicine, one of the most important nd worst organized of the congress, said to-day, ! fear that when the foreigners go home we Shall hear from them in a way we won't like." Dr. R. O. W. Wickersham, who is acting as Dr. Semmola'a traveling companion in this country, was born in Philadelphia, but has lived most of his life in Italy. His father was a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. The sectional work, except that of gynaecology, was poor, and the attendance at each, with the exception of that just mentioned and that of surgery, seldom exceeded thirty-five physicians, often fewer still. Dr. Friese's important article on "Inoculation for Yellow Fever," was read before but a score of physicians in the session of public health to-day. CARLISLE'S SEAT.

Tlie Kentnckian Will Make No Defense Against Mr. Tliobe's Charges. New York, Sept, 9. The World's Washington special says: "Mr. Carlisle, in explaining nis position in the Thobe contest, said last night: I don't want to try the case in the newspapers! or to talk about it for publication, but there is such a singular misapprehension in regard to it ' that it is not improper, I suppose, for me to say that I took no testimony for the simple reason that it was not necessary for me to do so. . The contestant in his notice charged fraud and irregularities in almost every precinct in the district, but when he came to his evidence he did not even attempt to prove anything except that there were four illegal votes cast for me at one precinct in Covington, and I do not think the evidence is sufficient to show that these four votes were actually cast for me. But, assuming that they were, it makes no difference in the result, as my majority was 815. Of course, there was no reason why I should take the testimony. The charges' ihat I intend to rely upon some legal technicalIty, and that I will ask an extension or .time to take testimony, are preposterous. The law allowed me alt the time necessary if I had desired to avail myself of it. Certainly I would not accept a seat in the House if my right to it could be sustained only by relying upon a technicality, and so far from relying upon any such ground I do not even intend to employ an attorney or submit any argument to the committee of the House. Members can take the record just as my opponents have made it up, and upon that they can decide the case without interference from me.' " ' INDIANA DEMOCRATS. Ex-Congressman Ward Points Out Soma Causes of Party Dissension. Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. "Well, Judge, how did you find the political firmament in Indiana1?' VI should say it waa rather murky, though there are no storms immediately impending, as we bold no general efections this year." "Several of your Indiana colleagues in Congress have represented to the President, in conversation with him, that the administration is exceedingly popular with the Democrats of your State, and that the outlook for next year is uncommonly good. Do you concur in that opinion' was asked. "I very much regret to say that I am not at all able to concur in that opinion," answered Judge Ward. "If the election for President were to be held this year I greatly fear we should lose the State. I should be very sorry, however, to have any one infer that the 'wish is father to the thought to me. I think the present administration is the best, the ablest and the purest which the country has had since the death of Lincoln. I sincerely hope that President Cleveland may be renominated and re-elected. But I think it a matter greatly to be deplored that intelligent and influential gentlemen should represent to the President that the present political status of Indiana is favorable to the Democrats, and especially that there is little or no dissatisfaction with the administration. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction, and it ought to be palpable and manifest to any one who chooses to see and hear. And it will not do to say that this disAAntunt la nnfinat t r the nffiiA.aaalrnia T f It were confined to them it would still be a dangerous and important factor in the political problem, because a large majority of the people of Indiana want office. Any man who could get all the votes of the Indianians who want office would sweep the State. But I mean to say, seriously, that among the active working Democrats of my State, the men who work at the polls and drum no the voters, there is manifested a discontent, and an apathy worse than discontent, which bode no good result to our party. The burden of the complaint is that such an army of Republicans are retained in office. If you remind these men that a chief plank in the Chicago platform was civil service reform, they answer that the battle cry of the campaign was 'Turn the rascals out,' and this is what they understood was meant by civil service reform. They insist that Indiana has been unfairly treated in the distribution of offices which carry with them patronage especially in view of the fact that she is the only Western State which has cast her electoral vote for a Democrat since 1856 and they are utterly unable to appreciate the policy of giving such hoplessly Republican States as Illinois, Iowa and Michigan the important and patronage-carrying positions of Commissioaer of Pensions, Commissioner of Patents, Commissioner of the Land Office, etc. They are especially bitter be- , cause of the retention of so many Republicans in the railway-mail service. These positions, they claim, have been used and abused by the Republican party, and most effectually, for partisan purposes for twenty-five years. "At Jeffersonville, in Clark eounty," continued Judge Ward, "the Democrats are highly incensed because the government quartermaster's depot there, which employs a large force, is filled almost exclusively with Republican employes. A very intelligent and prominent Demoeratio politician, of Jeffersonville, told me that Clark county, heretofore one of the most reliable Democratic eounties in the State, would go Republican if the election was held this year. These are some of the causes of discontent among the Democrats of Indiana. I am not exSr easing my personal sentiment in the premises, ut giving you the facts as I found them. I do cot think it either politically wise or fair to eonce&l from the President these facts." THE URAND ARMY. ' Interesting Facts and Figures of Its Meetings and Membership. Washington Special. The coming annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at St Louis, which is certain to attract more attention than any preceding one for many years, is the twenty-first held since the founding of the association. Its first post was organized in Decatur, 11L, April 6, 186G, and the second quickly followed at Springfield, in the same State. Maj. B. F. Stephenson, of Springfield, who had been surgeon of the Fourteenth Illinois Volunteers, has the credit of originating the organization, and mustered in the Decatur Post, with Gen. L C Pugh, as post commander, and Captain Kanan as adjutant. He also a few months later gave a charter to the first Eastern post, No. 1, of Philadelphia. Gen. John W. Palmer was the first department commander. The first national encampment was held at Indianapolis in November, 186G, and Gen. S. A. Hurlbnt was there chosen the first commander-in-chief. The rules, regulations and ritual have been materially modified during the lapse of more than twenty years since that first meeting. The second national encampment was held at Philadelphia in January, 18C8, and the Grand Army then took on a new and far more important form, with provisions for permanent establishment. Gen. John A. Logan was elected commander-in-chief, and a few months later signalized the beginning of his career of memorable energy as head of this organization by issuing his famous order directing the observance of May CO as Memorial day. He may be said to have left a new national holiday as his own memorial for his couutrymen. The third national encampment was held at Cincinnati, where General Logan was re-elected commander-in-chief, and Gen. Lucius Fairehild and Gen. J. It. Hawley, reIpectively, senior and junior vice-commander-in-chief. The fourth annual encampment waa at Washington, the fifth at Boston, the sixth at Cleveland, the seventh at New Haven, the eighth at Harrisburg, the ninth at Chicago, the tenth at Philadelphia, the eleventh at Providence, the twelfth at Springfield. Mass.; the thirteenth at Albany, the fourteenth at Dayton, the fifteenth at Indianapolis, the sixteenth at Baltimore, where, by the way, Mr. Cleveland's predecessor. President Arthur, reviewed the procession, going from Washington for the purpore; the seventeenth at Denver, the eighteenth t Minneapolis, the nineteenth at Portland, and the twentieth, last year's, at San Francisco. At the San Francisco encampment, held in August, 1880, there were shown to bo connected

with the organization 5.765 posts and 299.087 members at the date of the last previous official reportf. As the membership showed a net gain of 25,643 during the year, in spite of deaths and suspensions for non-payment of dues, it is entirely probable that the reports at the St. Louis encampment will indicate more than 300,000 members in good standing and perhaps as many as 325.000. During the year the posts had expended an aggregate of $205,673 out of their charity and relief fund, not reckoning the expenditures of 750 posts whose reports had not been received, and there was a balance in the fund of $301,012. Perhaps in general the charity and relief expenditures may be set at nearly a quarter of million a year. It is evident that the organization is numerous, powerful and enthusiastic. COMMODORE GEORGE BROWN.

Citizens of Norfolk Call in Large Nomberi and Tender Congratulations. Norfolk Virginian. Yesterday being the day on which Captain Brown, of the navy-ysrd, received his promotion tothe rank of commodore, the Board of Trade of this city, at their last meeting, passed a resolution to tender him a complimentary serenade la3t night. An invitation was also extended to the citizens and different societies to participate with them. The serenade was given as an appreciation of the efforts mads by Commodore Brown in behalf of the people of this city in securing work for this yard. The committee appointed by the board secured the service of the Soldiers' Home band and ' promptly at 8:45 o'clock p. m., the procession, composed of about 1,500 people, turned off in the following order: A platoon of the police, eight in number, headed by the chief and assistant . chief; the Soldiers' Home band, the ' Chambers Fire Company, in uniform, with lighted torches on their hats; the Board of Trade, the members of the press, the clerks, foremen, mechanics, laborers and citizens generally, all anxious to pay their respects to him who but two short years ago was a stranger in our midst, but now one of the most popular men in our community. The procession marched to the Commodore's residence, where a large crowd was waiting. The band then played a familiar air, after which the committee from the Board of Trade, composed of Judge L. R. Watts, chairman; O. V. Smith, Alexander C Hatton, E. N. Wilcox and W. S. Langhorn, entered the Commodore's residence and brought him out. The band then played "Hail to the Chief," after which Judge Watts, in behalf of the Board of Trade, extended the congratulations of the board, the mechanics, laborers, workingmen and citizens generally. He then gave a brief history of Commodore Brown's course since his arrival here ud to the present time, reviewing the many things done for the people and for that reason they had gathered together to-night to show their appreciation of him, also to wish him well. He closed his remarks by asking those present to join him in giving three cheers for Commodore George Brown, which were given with a will. Commodore Brown then came forward and thanked the people for the large demonstration that had beeu given him and expressed his gratitude at such a compliment. He remarked that he would like to ask them all to come in and take a glass of tea with him, but his house was rather small. Cheers and cries of "We don't want it. We only want to extend our congratulations." Commodore Brown then related an interesting anecdote about his cousin, Artemus Ward, who, while traveling in Utah, said that in that country the law gave the widows of the church the right to select their spiritual husbands, and twenty widows selected Mr. Ward for their husband. He answered that he liked the widows, but there was too much muchness there for him, when twelve of them began to weep . and wail. This was his case. .There was too much muchness for his bouse. He thanked the people and said that he had only done his duty for what he believed to be to the interest of the government. He also paid a glowing tribute to our mechanics. Captain R. C Marshall then arose and addressed the audience. He began by giving a brief history of Captam Brown. He remarked that there was but little for him to say, as J udge Watts ha,d congratulated him on behalf of everybody except the women and children; therefore he would have to extend those congratulatious. Mr. Marshall gave great promises in the belief of what Commodore Brown would do before his time expired, and also highly complimented our mechanics. He concluded by saying that he hoped to live to see the day when the people of Portsmouth would turn out and pay their respects to Rear Admiral Brown, who would still be in charge of the yard. At the conclusion of Mr. Marshall's remarks the procession reformed and marched to the Board of Trade rooms, where they were dismissed. The board left for home on a tug chartered for the occasion.

Tue Daily Chronicle of Happenings of Various Kinds in the Two States. A Subject of Queen Victoria's Clemency Supposed Murder of a Track Walker Illinois Farmer Attacked and Killed. INDIANA. An Elkhart Musician Who Now Finds Him self Able to Visit His Native Land. Special to the Tndlanaciolis Joarnau Elkhart, Sept. 9. W. J. Gronert, leader of C. G. Conn's famous Trumpet Note band, of this city, is one of those who experienced the execu tive clemency of Queen Victoria, of England, in her recent decree that those who had deserted from her military service before a certain time should be pardoned the offense and allowed to enter England again, should they desire to do so. As a lad Mr. Gronert was in the Queen's service, and while in China, before he had attained his majority, he decided to desert, and did so, stowing himself away on a veseel. When the craft had been at sea three days he appeared on the deck in his uniform, very much to the astonishment of the crew, which happened to be Dutch, not one of them being able to speak a word of English. They threatened to throw him overboard, but he finally induced them to abandon their design, and by the aid of his clarionet, he soon made friends of them. After a six months voyage be landed in San Francisco, and went thence to New York. Since his arrival here he has never dared return to Enland and when the Queen issued her declaration that all whose desertion ante-dated a certain time would be pardoned, if they would apply to her before a stated period, he made application, and has just received his parchment granting him full paraon.

In boring for gaa in this city, two weeks ago, at a depth of 570 feet a strong vein of artesian water was struck. The well was abandoned by the gas company and purchased by a syndicate, who, to-day, received an analysis from the State Chemist, which goes to show that it is possibly the finest mineral spring in the country. Lithium, magnesia and soda are combined in such quantities as to at least make it equal to any mineral water in the United States. The lithium springs in this country can be counted on the fingers of one's hand, and the greatest of these is at Saratoga. Its analysis shows less than half a grain to a quart of the water, while the Attica spring has a fraction more than this, and, in addition, the valuable assistants, magnesia and soda. The force of the spring is wonderful, flowing 300 gallons per minute, and carrying the water to the height of 180 feet through a five-inch pipe. The syndicate i3 composed of Alex. Holmes, S. R. Quick, and J. W. Paris, wealthy and enterprising citizens, and they have named the wonder "The Lithium Spring." They will at once commence preparations for extensive bath-houses, hotels, and other arrangements for utilizing the mineral. The people of Attica appreciate it as a greater blessing than gas. though they are still boring for the latter, and are justly enthusiastic over the new discovery. Teachers' Institute.

A Farmer Attacked and Killed Almost Instantly by an Infuriated Hull. Hinsdale, Sept. 9. Farmer Lyman, a resident of the southern part of Downer's Grove township, was gored to death by a bull on Wednesday. Mr. Lyman and another man went into a pasture to look at some cattle, when the bull attacked his owner and gored him in a horrible manner. His companion escaped to a barn, and he and another man mounted horses, armed themselves with pitchforks, and galloped back to the rescue. They were too late, however, for Mr. Lyman was dead. The bull stood near the mutilated body, bellowing angrily. His eyes were rolling, froth was dripping from his mouth, and his tail was lashing the air. The excited horsemen charged fiercely upon him with the pitchforks, and after a stubborn fight he ran away. Returning to the body of Mr. Lyman, the men found it terribly mutilated and disfigured. One ear was torn off and he was nearlj disemboweled. Mr. Lyman's com

panions say that when the infuriated bull first knoeked his victim down. Mr. Lyman lay still, and the animal simply walked around his prostrate form, pawing and bellowing. It was then that the eye-witness ran for a horse, thinking that Mr. Lyman would lie still until he should arrive armed. It is supposed that Mr. Lyman got up. and that the act was the signal for the animal to renew the attack which resulted in the death of Mr. Lyman.

TUE M'GIEXN CASE.

A Statement Indicating a Possibility That the Whole Matter May Be Reopened. New York, Sept 9. The Brooklyn StandardUnion this evening published a long statement by one whose name is not given, but who is vouched for as being in a position to know whereof he speaks. It professes to show that Dr. McGlynn waa condemned and dismissed from the priesthood without a hearing. The essential features of the story are, in effect, as follows: Dr. Burtsell, acting iu the capacity of counsel for Dr. McGlynn, prepared an elaborate defense of his client, and felt the utmost confidence in his acquittal. Cardinal Gibbons was in Rome; and, as he had taken strong grounds in favor of the Knights of Labor, on whose behalf Dr.1 McGlynn had suffered admonition from Archbishop Corrigan and Cardinal Simeoni, it was thought that he was a good person to present McGlynn's defense to the Propaganda. Accordingly it was forwarded to him for that purpose. But, the narrator goes on to say, Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane were very much interested in carrying through the project of the Catholic university, and the Cardinal, willing to help Cardinal Simeoni out of his McGlynn dilemma, in order to forward the chances of the university, suppressed Dr. McGlynn's defense entirely, and let the case go to a hearing pro confessio. The authority quoted adds that Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, originated the idea of, the university, and secured the necleus of $300,000 for it in the donation of Miss Caldwell, of New York;' that, on finding that Bishop Spalding had been ignored in the arrangements for it, she withdrew the gift, and that she has not restored it, though she has been indirectly threatened with a suit for the money. The story adds that Bishop Moore, of Florida, has taken up Dr. McGlynn's case, has written the facts of the suppression to Rome, and that it is very probable that the case will be reopened. Moreover, it is stated that Cardinal Gibbons says he suppressed the case, believing that he was acting for the best, but that he now seea a great injury was done McGlynn, and he will do all he can to repair it. - About this publication Dr. McGlynn to-night said: It is substantially correct Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane were supposed to be my friends, but I do not know what induced them to act against me. I don't know that Mies Caldwell withdrew her subscription. I do know that Cardinal Gibbons was instructed by the Pope to write me a letter asking me to go to Rome. He never wrote to me, but did speak to Dr. Burtsell, who wrote him a long letter concerning my case. That letter was never presented at Rome. In it Dr. Burtsell said that it I was invited iu a gentlemanly way to go to Rome, undoubtedly I would go. When asked what had become of that letter, Cardinal Gibbons said it was in the hands of the Director of the American College at Rome; but when lately pressed about it he said it was probably thrown into his waste basket with other matter. THE PRESIDENT AND THE WORLD. A Shrewd Guess at the Purpose of the Recent Six-Column "Interview." Philadelphia Press. The World has captured the President The interesting question now is, has the President captured the Worldl That is the significant point which lies behind the clever stroke of journalism. The interview with the President illustrates the dash and originality of the World's methods. As a performance it is spectacular and imposing, and impresses the country. In execution it is skillful and effective. If it is more showy than substantial, if we admire the art with which it is swelled out more than the value of the matter, it is because the President evidently wanted to talk without having much to say. The World has made the most of it, and it oniy emphasizes the genius of that paper that it magnifies and dresses the commonplace so successfully. The interview both the interviewer and interviewed will pardon us for saying it is worth very little in its hints of policy or its discussion of public questions. But its very meagrenesa makes it all the more suggestive. What was the object of tricking out this emptiness in so ostentatious a way? Clearly not for what is said, but for what the manner and medium of saying it shows. The World and the President have not stood together. Why does Mr. Pulitzer go to Mr. Cleveland? Why does Mr. -Cleveland open arms to Mr. Pulitzer? Evidently Mr. Pulitzer is doing a fine piece of journalism and Mr. Cleveland is doing a fine piece of politics. Mr. Pulitzer is a good enough journalist to know that a paper which criticises and attacks is more piquant and pungent and interesting than an organ, and he has had the fun and the reward of opposition without carrying it to a dangerous point Now comes a presidential campaign with its demands and its opportunities. He sees that Mr. Cleveland is to be renominated; he sees that the Sun is Democratic, but not Cleveland; he sees that the Times is Cleveland, but not exactly Democratic: and with the keenness which has made the World so great a success, he sees his chance in taking the position which no, competitor grasps. The President, on his part, is equally penetrating. He wants a paper both Democratic and Cleveland in New York as much aa Mr. Pulitzer wants the commanding position, on his side of the campaign. And so the candidate and the candidate-maker shrewdly strike hands. This is the natural and obvious speculation. Such a publication does not come by chance or impulse. There is a design behind it, and the purpose is thinly concealed under the clever pretext of explaining a little misunderstanding about the- Pacific railway inquiry. It is very neatly managed, but it does not altogether veil the real object. We cordially congratulate the World on capturing the President, and the President on capturing the World, and we shall take great pleasure in doing our part in combating the one and defeating the other.
