The Trunk NIurder-Its Latest Aspects

Tuo IEuuA Nlurocr-Ats latest Aspectss
The sin of poor Alice Bowlsby is cutting a
wide swath of desolation. Her family-the
mother and two younger daughters-are suf-
fering that intense grief that refuses to be
comforted, and one of her lovers-Walter
Conkling, the son of Paterson alderman.
yesterday deliberately committed suicide.
Whether he is the one who ruined Alice and
brought her to such a miserable ending
remains to be shown at the Coroner's inquest
which commences to-day. The name of an
other gentleman friend of Alices-one Tripp-
is mentioned in connection with the woe that
befeil her; but he has disappeared, and his
whereabouts is not known. The inquest of
to-day will doubtless divulge all the facts
in the matter, and present nara
tive so much more strange than any
conceivable fiction that it ought to prove
an ever present warning against the commits
sion Of the one crime that carries such terrible
woe in its wake. There can be but one ver-
dict rendered. Alice Bowlsby came to her
death by cruel malpractice at the lands of Dr.
Ascher, alias DR.. Rosenzweig. Whatever
formal links are to be supplied to complete
the legal chain of evidence, that fact is firmly
established in the minds Of all the people of
this city who have ordinary intelligence. Now
what is TO be done with DIR. Rosenzweig?
Already we have indications that lawyers
quibbles and cunning counsels fence will not
be wanting to aid him. A motion for writ
Of habeas corpus was presented and granted in
his behalf yesterday, requiring that he be pro-
duced this morning before Judge Sutherland,
in the Supreme Court Chambers, when, no
doubt, an effort will be made to have him re-
leased on bail. 1t is not likely that he can be
released even on heavy bail, in the present
state of public excitement; but it is evident
from the motion that no stone will be left un-
turned to save him from the vengeance of the
law. We have precedent to be found among
the stone quarres at Sing Sing for his incar-
ceration at hard labor, but none for his execu-
tion, although his deliberate attempt to spirit
away the body and to hide the effect of his
malpractice may put new and more tangible
aspect of wlful murder in the eyes of the law
upon this most horrifying case

which cause the germs Of the great tribe
infusoria, which, as their name bespeaks, breed
In liquids, to rise in swarms into the same
medium" He very pertinently adds IF
there were time or need I could show by evi-
dence quite as decisive that these statements
apply equally to cholera Also"
The HERALD lately published suggestion
concerning the animalcular origin of cholera.
There can be no question that the reasoning
and facts of the eminent physicians and
physicists we have mentioned, and the results
OF their labors, recently published, show con-
clusively that the germ theory of cholera,
typhoid and other epidemic and contagious
diseases puts the skilful and sagacious inves-
tigator on the right track, and, if zealously
and faithfully followed up, it may, at an early
day, enable the modern physician to defy the
pestilence or to throw around his patients
wall of fire. Let no pains be spared in DE-
veloping 1t practically.

The Latest News from France,

The National Assembly of France is sadly
in need of harmony. The appeal OF NJ.
Picard yesterday was indeed well timed, and,
it is to be hoped, not made in vain. Patriotic
Frenchmen must blush to contemplate such
violent scenes as took place in the Assembly
the day before yesterday. The remainder of
the preamble investing the National Assembly
with constituent powers has been adopted.
1t is well that this vexed question should have
been settled one way or another, for further
suspense would have impeded legislation and
the machinery of the government.
But those who think that NJ Gambetta will
abide by the decision of the majority are pro-
badly mistaken. Nothing is further removed
from the fiery, unruly temper Of the ex-Dicta-
tor of France than meek submission, and he
will set all his influence to work to accomplish
the dissolution of the Chamber. Nor is he
likely to be over-scrupulous as to the means of
carrying out this object. 1t is already reported
that the Deputies of the Left will resign in
body. If this news be true the resolution has
probably been originated by Gambetta. The
question of the prolongation of NJ. Theirs
powers seems to be progressing toward sat-
isfactory solution, if we are to Judge from the
tone Of the conservative organs in Paris and
the fact that motion eulogizing the conduct
of M. Theirs was carried by an overwhelming
majority.

Treasury gives notice of his intention to re-
deem one hundred millions of the FIRST Issues
OF 1862 five-twenty bonds iu furtherance of
his refunding of the old debt into the new
loan. Jnasmuch as the interest on the desig-
mated bonds viii cease on December ] next
there will, doubtless, be q general canvassing

hunt out the prescribed bonds, whose coupons
will be worthless after the above date. The
numbers and descriptions of the bonds so to
be redeemed are given in full in our Washing

ton TO q small village in East Prussia to such
an extent that at the present rate of mortality
1t will soon be entirely depopulated Precau-
tlonary measures have been taken by the gov

implanted itself so firmly in those parts that it
will pursue its deadly errand until arrested by

THE WoMAN's RIGHTS MOVEMENT has ex-
tended even to the obscure and remote island
of st. Vincent, in the West Indies. The usual
monotony of the news is relieved to-
day by the highly interesting announce
ment that the Governor Of st. Vincent, being
champion of woman's rights, has appointed
a Madame Cheeky regular General" of the
army. The Governor cannot be serious about
the matter He is probably man addicted
to fun and practical joking. Thus, in one of
his ironical moods, he might have entrusted
Madame with that highly important military
command, just to see how far it is possible to
carry the joke Of the thing.

these confined buildings are In the main re-
sponsible for it. The avenues leading to the
Brooklyn and Jersey City and Hoboken fer
ries are through the markets, choked up with
stalls and booths, leaving only narrow
passageway along the sidewalks for pedes-
trians If Washington and Fulton Markets
could be replaced by new buildings, such as
those which are the pride of Philadelphia,
while the market accommodations were sup
plemented by houses for the same purposes at
the foot of Canal and other streets, tue crowds
down town would not be so great, while the
unhealthy atmosphere of Vesey or Fulton
street could be avoided. A huge fire, licking
up the sheds which are the disgrace and the
curse of the metropolis, is the constant prayer
of many of our citizens. This is blessing
not to be expected, for these buildings are too
wretched even to burn. Our only hope is in
the Board of Health, and, charged as are the
members Of that body with caring for the
health of the city, they cannot disregard their
duty. In the end they will be compelled to
close these markets as the nurseries of dis
ease; and if they are bold enough to take the
HERALD's advice and do it now they will con-
fer lasting benefit upon the metropolis. In
year or two not only would epidemics grow
ing out of uncleanlness no longer threaten
us, but we should have markets that would be
an honor to the city. 1t is a matter of the
gravest Importance whether this thing shall be
done now, or whether we are to await the
coming calamity which will compel it.
The question for the Board of Health is
simple one-Can the markets, by clearing away
the stalls from the sidewalks and by proper
renovation, be made sufficiently clean not to
generate disease? If an affirmative answer
can be made to this, then let it be done at
once; but if the response is in the negative,
as we fear it will be, then let us close up the
pest houses till we can build new markets.

"Great Retrencher" declaring himself in
favor of further reduction of taxation. This

"a SUBSCRIBER wants TO know if Catholic

necessary qualifications and receiving ma
