THE NATIONAL HOTEL DISEASE The sub
committee of the Washington Council Saturday
m ade a thorough examination of the premises and
taken evidence under oath, they had arrived at
the following conclusions, viz That the hotel bad
been well kept in all its departments that the
food used was in healthy condition. that it was
tanks that no lard had been used in the establish.
ment since the 23d of December; and that several
persons who had lodged in the house only, avoid
ing the food and water there, had been attacked by
the disease while others who had slept and board
ed there had escaped, by keeping up fires and
raising the windows, They further state that foul
atmosphere from the drains AMI bad ventilation
was in their opinion the cause of the disease that
several old fire fiues, long since abandoned, ex-
tended from the cellar to the upper stories with
oritices in each story, acted conduits for the
noxious vapors.

IL A nice little bit OF scandle is up before
one OF the New York courts in the matter of a
h1oeGs corPES to secure the restoration to liberty
OF Mrs. Caroline W goldman, whom her husband
sometime since had confined in private Iunatic
asylum, as she alleges, out Of revenge for her
misdoings with Mr.. G.. Furniss of that CITY
The most singular part of the story is that the
person applying for the hGbcas corpus is MI G.
Furniss himself, who, in this step, to say the
least. shows a marvellous indifference to public
opinion. Ii Is stated that the husband pays a re-
markably high price for the privileges of the
lunatic asylum for his wife. She managed how
ever, after she was taken to the asylum to w ite
to Mr. fnrniss. vino replied through the columns
OF the Herald. which paper, it appears, MIS-
Woodman was permitted to see. These letters
Were Produced in behalf OF the application by
Mr.. Furniss and read TO show her sanity They
abound In afiectonate expressions and SOLICIT him
earnestly to effect her release These are the par
ties an seIaiToisSemeHt in whose case at a fash
1onabie hotel in New York city produced such a
sensation some months ago. Able counsel are
engaged on both sides, the habsas cOrpxs being
