Washington sentinel. [volume] (City of Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1856, 1856-01-22

Dr. Emery has furnished to the Boston,
Journal the following particulars of the recent
death Of Miss Morgan from the inhalation Of
chloroform:
Between the hours Of one and two o'clock,
on the 9th inst, / commenced to administer
chloroform to Miss p A. Morgan, at request
for the purpose Of removing some teeth.
commenced with small quantity, should think
from two to three drachms on a sponge. She
inhaled it without difficulty for minute OF
two. Her pulse was not strong but uniform.
She then commenced to be excited, and said that
| was going to extract her teeth and she should
know all about it. She said that Mrs. Paige
1.-THE lady who accompanied her) was getting
the forceps to extract them with. / think
about one minute had passed during this
conversation and excitement. then removed
the sponge from her mouth, and in few mo-
ments she became satisfied that there had been
no attempt made to remove her teeth. In q
few moments | commenced the operation again
with the same amount of chloroform.
She inhaled IL without difficulty about as
long Ms she did before, and became so much
excited that she got up ont Of the chair and
insisted that had extracted her teeth She
spit on the floor and looked to see If it was
blood, and she insisted that some one was com.
ing into the room whom she did not want to see
/ sat her down in the chair again, and she then
went into spasm, closed her teeth, and
breathed with difficulty. l sprinkled water on
her face, and the muscles relaxed, and / asked

tenant eolonel's, from 1858 to $798; majors,
from $432 to $5l2; and captains, from 1916
to $436.
The undersigned respectfully remarks that
officers should be compensated approxima
lively, according to some regular scale, main
tanning sensible progression between every
two successive grades; for if in the way Of
example, the scale were raised from second
lieutenant to captain, and the increase stopped
there, it might make the pay of captain equal
to, if not higher than that of major in the
same corps. This would be both unjust and
absurd.
There are other topics connected with the
good of the service which the undersigned has
heretofore called up in his annual reports, and
to which he hopes attention may be attracted:
/. The revision of the "rules and articles for
the government of the armies of the United
States"-articles Of soar; g. Revision of the
pension laws of the army, placing them on the
same footing with those Of the navy, and, 3,
change in the system Of recruiting.
Should his views on those subjects be desired,
they may be found at large in his former re-
ports.
All of which isrespectfully submitted through
the Secretary of War. WINFIELD SCOTT.

Secretary of War, Washington.
