The Discoverer of Modern Ansesthesia.


To the editor of the Iribune:-Sr-I notice
with regret an editorial paragraph in your paper
of Friday, May 12 speaking of the appropria-
tion for a monument to the late DIR. Horace
Wells, by the City Council of Hartford, in
which you suggest some doubt as to whether
DR.. Wells was the dlscoverer of modern an@s-
thesia. The popular verdict on this matter puts
DR.. Wells position as the discoverer of anes-
tbesia beyond question, and as representative of
that opinion permit me to name Valentine Mott,
Nj. D., Isaac Taylor, M. D., President of Belle
vue Hospital College, Professor Frank Hamil-
ton, Professor Doremus, FOrdyce Barker, Md,
and, may add, nearly every member of the
medical profession in this city and throughout the
country. The following scientific and other
bodies have, without hesitation, most emphati-
cally indOrsed the claims of DIR. Wells, VIII
The General Assembly of Connecticut, by reso-
luiions of thanks in 1S47, and again in 1870 by
an appropriation of $4,000 towards monument;
the City Council of Hartford, by the resolutions
referred to, apprOpriating $4,000 towards a
monuments the Connecticut State Medical aud
Dental Societies; the Hartford County Medical
and Dental Societies; the New York State Medi-
cal and Dental Societies; the American (Na-
tionaD Dental Associations; and last, but not
least, the American (NationaD Medical Associa-
tion, the highest medical authority in the coun-
try. The decision of America Is accepted as
final In Europe; and think that am safe in
saying that to-day the world recognizes DR..
Horace Wells as the author OF this greatest dis
covery of modern times

Court Of Quarter SeSsions-Judge FinIettrr.
Bernard Shannon, tall, ungainly youth, was
tried upon the charge of stealing two coats
belonging to Patrick Smith, at whose house he
boarded. The testimony went to show that
Shannon was seen leaving the house one even
ing with q bundle under his vest and that night
Smiths coats were missed. When accused
Shannon said the coats he took out were his,
and he subsequently prodcued pawn ticket, by
which the coats were recovered. Mr.. Hagert
said he hardly thought this evidence sufficient
to warrant conviction, and a verdict of not
guilty was rendered.
Thomas Applegate was tried upon the charge
of assault and battery upon Lima Ziegler, and
carrying a concealed deadly weapon. 1t was
testified that he and some frolicsome friends
went to the lady's house in the afternoon, and,
unbidden, went in, helped themselves to water,
and then impudently took a shovel away with
them. Shortly afterwards they returned and
stormed the house with bricks, and when Miss
Ziegler went out to return the fire, Applegate
hit her on the face with a steel knuckle.
The defense offered speech of counsel deny
ing the facts, and urging that there could be no
conviction on the second count because the
weapon, instead of being concealed, was used
openly. Jury out.
James Logue and John Jenkins, alias Walker
were put on trial for entering the house of
Conrad Hopf, No. 1880, Girard avenue with
intent to steal 1t was testified that one day
last winter the prisoners went to Mr.. Hopfs shoe
store and were measured for shoes. They
stayed a good while, looking about and
talking and observing a new fre-proof

it very much like one they had, and Jenkins
remarked, 1T is right. to keep money in the
house, much safer than in bank" Several nights
after that the house was forcibly entered through
the kitchen window, but nothing was stolen.
There were tracks of feet in the mud which
corresponded in size to the prisoners feet. On

Which the Correspondents with Double
Salaries are Detained-SenatOrial Bru-
tality.
From the Washington Sunday Herald.
On Thursday last after the adjournment of
the Senate, Messrs. White aud Ramsdell the
"contumacous" correspondents, were formally
handed over to the custody of the Sergeaut-at-
Arms. They were escorted from the Senate
Chamber to an ante-room by Vice-President
ColfaX who took one on each arm. Here they
held quite levee, and were called on not only
by their friends, but by many sympathizing
strangers and Senators.
Later they were conducted to the quarters
assigned to them in the room of the Senate
Committee on Pacific Railroads. They were
afterwards released for short time on parole,
to visit their families and arrange their business
affairs. They then returned to their dungeon,
where Sergeant alarms French had meantime
provided sleeping accommodations. This dun
geon is q large and pleasant room on the west
front of the Senate wing, and on the same floor
with the galleries. The two windows look down
upon the beautiful grounds of the Capitol, aud
out upon the city, with the Potomac and the
Virginia shore in the distance.
In a smaller room, opening out of the larger
one, are two comfortablessingle beds aud toilet
conveniences, with hot aud cold water at COM
mand. The furniture and fixtures of both rooms
are elegant and comfortable, and sympathizing
friends have contributed flowers to add to the
attractiveness of the surroundings The prison
ers are furnished their meals from the Senate
restaurant in the basement, and breakfast, dine,
and sup la carte. They are permitted TO see
their families and friends, and are simply
guarded from unwelcome intruders. This, how
ever, is the bright side of the picture. 1t has its
darker aspects. 1t is unpleasant, at best, to be
taken from happy home and separated from the
bosom of your family, but when, as is the case
with one of these gentlemen, there is the addi-
tional sorrow of being taken from the bedside
of sick child, who cannot understand why
papa does not come home, it may readily be
imagined that the gilded surroundings are of
| very little moment. 1t is thought the imprison-
| ment OF Messrs White and Ramsdell may not
extend beyond the end of the present session;
| but should it be protracted, aud the health of
either suffer thereby, there will be fearful re-
sponsibilty resting upon their jailers, for which
| they will have to suffer.
