Shortly after halfpast five O'Clock on Monday
afternoon police officer post in Baxter street
was told that one Hattie Churchill, a Sixth ward
"rounder," twenty-fOur years old, born in the
United States, was lying seriously i'll at No. Is Bax-
ter street, and wished to be sent to the hospital.
Alter ascertanng the truth OF the report the officer
informed Sergeant Douglass, of the Sixth precinct
who promptly sent messenger to the Park H0spi-
tai for an ambulance.
In few minutes Ambulance Surgeon Hemming-
way was at the place indicated with an ambulance
ready to convey the sufferer to the hospital; butt
upon examining the patient, he found that she had
all the symptoms Of yellow fever. AS the woman
was then in state OF semi-delirium he could
gather but little reliable Information from her; but
from other occupants OF the house he learned OF
previous symptoms, including the vomiting of IL
black mud substance which, in connection with
the then existing circumstances, Gle iry showed
that she was afflicted either with yellow fever or
AS the regulations of the Park Hospital prohibit
the reception OF all fever patients, Dr. Hemmng

went personally to the station house and advised

to Bellevue Hospital Sergeant Douglass at once
telegraphed to Bellevue requesting that action be
taken forthwith, and SOON aiterward lie received
an answer showing that the message was under
stOOu, DuL no lever wagon came, ana the unI0r-
tunate woman died at about half-past twelve
O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
Meanwhile Police Captain Kennedy had sent
notice to the Board OF Health and to the Sanitary
station, at No. us Worth street, asking that the
building and its vicinity be disnfected Captain
Kennedy also kept an officer duty at the house
to prevent further contact OF neignbors with the
afflicted woman and to keep Others at safe dis

large sums OF money had been VI 0lgiul taken
from its people.
Mr.. Peckham followed also on behalf OF the peo-
pie. lie gave history OF the origin OF municipal
corporations in England and contended hat, as in
England so In this country, the Attorney General
was the proper olcer TO bring suit on behalf OF the
corporaters.
Mr. Stoughton followed in support OF the demur-
rer. HS main point was that the present suit did
not rest on the same basis as That against Tweed,
the latter suit being against public individual and
the present one against private individual After
dwelling on the various opinions OF different Judges
In the case OF Tweed he disclaimed any intention
or trying to impede justice through interposng the
present demurrer He said further that 1t would
be reproach to justice If two suits could be pros
ecuted at the same time against the same party,
based on the same cause OF action.
Mr.. Field submitted to the Court some written
points and also a copy OF one OF the Comptroler's
reports In submitting the latter his object, he
said, was to show that the county OF New York, in
stead OF being an entity as claimed, disbersed
larger sums than threelourths OF the States of the
Union, and that she had other resources than taxa
ten.
The remarks OF Mr.. Field concluded the argu-
ment. The various counsel at once passed up their
briefs and other papers to the Judge, who. pursuant
to the usual CUSTOM took them to aid him in his ju-
dicia determination He gave no intmaton when
he would give his decision decision, however,

Mr.. Browns books, but he did not know where Mr..
Browns books were placed. Weekly returns Of
the street cleaning were sent to the Board Of

dies OF them not sworn TO.
