meeting OF the labor reform party was held last
evening at Coburg aall Mr.. James Connolly, char
man, and Mr. James W. Bossowng, secretary Upon
the roll or delegates being called the chairman inter-
posed the objection To those rrom the Fourth and
sixth districts that they had no credentials"
whereupon Mr.. Dennis s. Griffin, president OF the
Stair Builders, insisted upon his rlgnt to represent
the Fourth Assembly district as he had always hith-
eIto done without question The Chairman stated
that these credentials had been revoked,
and that this had been done by authority
OF MT. 1roup. He further requested all but
members OF the committee to leave the
room. This request received with strong tokens
oil disapproDaton and none OF the delegates showed
any disposition TO comply. Mr.. Grimm denounced
TINS attempt OF the Troup clique TO stlne the voice
OF those opposed 10 his Vaccinations. He charace
terized the action OF Mr.. Troup at syracuse IN
famous and charged him with having sold out their
State ticket. He .calied upon Troup, who was pre-
SAINT. to refate the charge ana also 70 state upon
what authority he had dared TO revoke the dele
gates credentials. Mr.. Troup perssIentIy declined
to make any reply; but Mr.. Shook, young man
with cast on his eye and very nervous manner.
constituted himself Mr.. Troups champion, and
whined out a defence which WAS really no defence
at all. Mr. Grimm again took the noor and In
speech OF great length reiterated his accusations
and stated that he could adduce ample proofs OF
Mr. Troup's double dealing Several OF the dele
gates followed in the same strain. Mr.. Troup was
at length induced TO make IN explanation to thu,
meeting. which he harranUued at the utmost pitch
OF his voice. giving denial to all the charges
made against him. An acrimonious discussion fol-
lowed. The chairman several times attempted To
get the room cleared, and called In the police who,
however, refused 10 interfere. At length the Chair
man, Secretary, Messrs. Troup and Shook seeing
the futity Of opposing the almost unanimous voice
OF the delegates, made inglorious retreat from
the ROOM beng vigorously Kissed ON retiring.
The delegates thereupon adjourned TO Germana
Assembly Rooms, where Mr.. Gr1iin was appointed

The winter session OF the Woman's Medical Col
lege was opened last evening by lecture by Pro,
lessor Samuel l.. Ward, at the College, corner Of
Eighth street and Second avenue There was very
good attendance, the majority OF the audience nat
uraily being members OF the fairer sex.
After few introductory remarks Professor Ward
entered into general review or the sciences, class
ing them according az they treated OF animate or
nanimate objects. He said that the deductve
scteuces--ihosc, that ID, which were founded Y
few sell-evident principles which pointed TO other
almoe; equally certain principles-were, OF course,
the least liable to The CHIEF point OF his lee
ture was careful inquiry into the origin OF
life. He narrated in detail the experiments
being carried on, both In this coun--
try and in Europe to hDd some proof
of the supposed fact tnat generation was sponta-

very shocking In this theory. People Of the most
orthodox religious views now discarded the old be-
lief that the world but six thousand ycare old.

also accept what he believed would be prOved-thet
