of women 467. The report further
states that the general sanitary condi-
ton of these women has been greatly
improved under the operation OF the
law. OF the total number Of women
registered, it has been asscertained that
702 Of them became prostitutes from
choice, l0l because they were seduced,
81 because their husbands treated them
badly, and 81 from necessity. The
number of men seeking the society of
these women has decreased since the
law went into force, Notwithstanding the
increased chances Of immunity from
disease. This is attributed, however,
mainly to the fact that men seek
ing such society are taken more
notice of by officers of the law. The
report also states that the whole num-
Der of cases Of venereal disease treated
in the hospital and charitable institu-
tions Of the city for eight months pre-
vious to the passage Of the social evil
law was 539, and the hummer treated
in the same institutions for the eight
months the law has been in operation

Of all the milk that is brought into the

at dinner given by j. P. Morton, at
his residence. He proposes to 60 to his
home in Massachusetts this morning,
remaining there three or four days, and
returning thence to Washington without
stopping in this city. The Secretary
states that subscriptions to the new loan
have, upon the whole, met his expecta-

banks, he anticipates that when the sub
ject is fully understood by the public
at large, investments will be
made on private account, not

in Europe. The indications, he says
are that by the lst of May, when the
new bonds will be ready for delivery,
parties will appear who will subscribe

The Methodist Book Concern.
The Christian Adrocate, the Metho-
dist official organ, says, in reference to
the attempt to select experts to examine
the accounts Of the Book Concern, as
two attempts to appoint accountants
have been frustrated by the refusal OF
the counsel, DR.. Lanahan, to concur in
judicious and unanimous selections, it
is quite certain that the Book Commit,
tee itself, OF its standing subcommittee,
who have the power irrespective OF
counsel, will speedily proceed to the ap,
pointment of suitable accountants, and
that such proper investigation Of the
Book Concern matters will be made by
skillful and we'll known experts as will
be satisfactory to the church

CINCINNATI.

A Bloody Murder-Accidental Death
CINCINNATI, March A horrid
murder was committed about 6 o'clock
this morning in the Ruggers beer sa-
loon, West Sixth street. Last night at
the same place George Schneider and
Marthias Hentz had some trouble over
a game of cards and separated, but met
again on the street, when another alter
cation occurred, in which Hentz fired a
pistol in such close proximity to Schnei-
ler's face as to blacken it with powder.
This morning early, Schneider was at
the saloon, and as soon as Hentz, who
boarded there, appeared, the former re-
newed the trouble. Hentz did not
seem inclined to engage in a contest
and retired, but was followed by Schnei-
Ter, who fnaly plunged a knife into the
breast of Hentz and actually turned
it around twice or thrice in the dying
mans body. When he withdrew the
blade the blood rushed out, and in the
presence of the bystanders the man sank
down, and after asking for a priest
almost Immediately died. The murderer,
with the knife in his hand, himself
called for the police, and was finally
arrested by two citizens, who took him
to the station house. He made no ef.
fort to escape. Both were young Ger
mans. Schneider was a pastry cook
and Hentz a butcher, who recently
removed from Louisville.
