The above figures very plainly eXhlb-
it steady increase i'll the deaths from
diphtheria and membranous Group dur
ing the past three weeks, and call for
some serious attention on the subject.
On Staten Island number of cases
have been reported, and in Brooklyn
there were seventeen fatal cases of this
disease during the week ending Oct. Il.
Hudson county, n. j., does not appear
to have escaped the contasion, as it lost
forty-five from the same malady dur
ing the months of July and August.
Some rather alarming cases have also
been heard of in Richmond, Baltimore
and other cities of the South. Charles
ton has been especially unfortunate, as
during the past four or five weeks thir-
ty-three children have died there, sew
enty per cent. of whom have sue :
cumbed to diphtheria.
A Herald commissioner paid num-
Der of visits yesterday to the leading
physicians in the city, in order to as
certain their views as to the increase of
the epidemic. In course Of converse
ticn with a young physician he learned
that there was every reason to believe
that the epidemic was over, as. although
the Board Of Health still reported an
increase in the mortality. it did not
arise from the contagion in the air, but
from crowded houses in which the sick
were confined. Diphtheria is one of
the most infectious diseases that child
rem are prone to catch, and should one
in family of five or six residing ia
some small apartment acquire the
complaint, it is more than probable that
the rest of the family will be more or
less attacked by the loathsome pesti-
lence. In the families of the rich the
infected child is always removed into
room by itself, but even then the dis
ease is apt to spread. A well-known
physician in Charleston recently lost
four children-all victims to diptheria.
4 great deal is also to be attributed to
the want of proper and wholesome
nourishment, as children in weak and
sickly condition are very subject to
this malady. The stage of the disease
most dreaded by the medical faculty IS
what is known as diphtheritic paralysis.

BANK BURGLARS CAUGHT,
The New Style of Bank Robbery
Fails for Once.

At Paris, Ont, a during attempt to
rob the bank Of British North America
was made early yesterday morning,
Noy. 5th. Four masked men entered
the managers residence, obtained the
keys Of the bank, and bound and gagged
the whole family with the exception of
the eldest son, who gave the alarm,
arousing the neighbors. The burglars
fed without entering the bank. Three
men, giving their names as Cornelius
Mulligan, D. McMasters aud Jane
Carroll, were arrested on suspicion. At
the preliminary trial the managers
nurse girl identified McMasters as one
Of the burglars, he having dropped hi
mask while gagging her.

Joe Medill's Capacity TO Keep His

From the Missouri Republican,


The Cincinnati Commercial thinks
Joe Medill will keep the Chicago 7rib-

haven much faith in the independence
of any man who could, without crack
ing a smile, play a part in that i'm
mense farce which it pleased the Pres
ident to call his commission for the
reform of the civil service. That insti-
tuition would have made the solemnest
jackass that ever wagged pair of ears
laugh, but Joe Medill and Howadji
Curtis managed to keep their faces
straight through the whole perform
ance. 1t certainly required an unusu-
al quantity and quality of loyalty to
do that.

PROPOSED CATHOLIC CONGRESS.
AN international Church Congress
to Meet in England.
[London Telegram, Nov. 81

[london Telegram, Nov. 81
The chief authorities of the Church
have decided to hold great interna-
tional Catholic congress in London,
with the object of maintaining the doc
trine of Papal infallibility, reasscrting
the Pope's right to temporal as well as
spiritual power, and proclaiming it the
bounden duty of all Christians to re-
turn to allegiance to Rome. It is
stated that this determination is the
result of direct instruction from the
Vatican, and some of the highest dig
nitaries Of the church will attend the
Congress. Alp. Manning, in speech at
Westminster, admits that the spiritual
influence of the Pope had greatly in.
creased since the loss of his temperate
ties. If arbitration was ever to super
cede war, the Pope would be the only
possible authorized arbitrator of the
Catholics. The world, he added, was
threatened with a controversy on all
the DEGREES of the Ecumenical council.
There was undoubtedly approaching
one of the mightiest contests the reli-
gious world had ever seen. Therefore it
was necessary to fearlessly assert,
through the free press of England, the
Popes right and his pretensions to
world wide allegiance.

4 SHARP RETORT.

At a Western eating-honse, the other
evening, a young and fully-mustached
dandy was seated at the table at rather
a late hour, when the waiter, according
to custom, after the work of the day was
over, came in and took a seat directly
opposite. The dandy tipped back his
chair, and, gazing at the waiter, e1-
claimed, "Fellah, do the servants mix
up with gentlemen in this house?'
"No, sir" was the reply. care you
not the waiter?" eyes, sir" "Well,
a waiter is as much q servant as the
scullery-maid." "True," replied the
waiter, "but I did not enter the room
until l looked in and saw that there was
not a gentleman at the table! !" Here
the conversation ended.

HOUSEHOLD PETS.

"Down with pets !" says the cynic-
an opinion with which all kindly-folk
will disagree. Pets should always be
tolerated, for they have their proper
place in every household. Ii they fur
nish to the young imaginary play-fel-
lows, if they help older people TO forget
the cares of the present and soften in
them the austerities of this hard worlds
life-if, above all, they can be made
morally significant, let us not condemn
them as unworthy of our regard. Frol-
icsome kittens, sweet singing-birds,
brave old dogs-and shall We not add,
merry-hearted children-have bright
ened and gladdened and sweetened
this world to many.

THE NOR7HAMPTOV CALAMITY

The DAM CONTRACTORS R-EspoSsInLE FOE THE
TERRIBLE DISASTER.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, May 2O.-When
the Legislative Committee visited the
reservoir, the breaking of which, en-
Saturday, was attended with such ter
ribleconsequences, everybodydescended
to the gap, and careful examination
wa made of the bottom, the walls.
filing and surroundings. The con.
tractor, Bassett, taking a copy of the
specifications contained in the original
contract under which the dam had been
built, called the attention of the mem
bers Of the committee to what he termed
the evidence of their fulfllment, and
the consequent exOneration from blame
of himself and those who acted for him.
Col. Wilson, of Boston, the engineer
who constructed the Hartford reservoir,
twenty years ago, and who had accom-
panied the committee as an expert, re-
marked "This dam was not built &C.
cording to the specifications OF that
paper in your hand" The Colonel then
proceeded to point out that the speeii-
cations had called for the building of a
foundation wall at least three feet below
the bottom of the reservoir, whereas it
was only built upon that bottom, be-
tween which and the wall the water was
found to pass easily, created a leak, and
eventually spread the latter against the
embankment protector. This wall was
four feet narrower than the contract
specified that it should have been. "In
short" said Col. Wilson, "the specis-
cations have been entirely disregarded,
and the accident was inevitable. The
only wonder is that it did not occur be-
fore. Tie terrible neglect and gross
Ignorance displayed in the construction
of the dam was criminal, and its recent
evil consequences, murder" In talking
of the event later, Col. Wilson said that
he could not regard it as an accident,
because the dam corld not hold any
body of water in, as the bottom under
the wall, was slowly but surely washed
away daily.
An incident Of extraordinary canine
affection has just come to light in con-
n~ection with the awful calamity. Col.
Joel Hayden, me of the Sons of the late
Lieut.. Gov. Hayden, has a dog of the
st. Bernard kind. He has, for a long
time, been the village favorite. and the
pet of the school children. Ira Bryant,
the father of Mrs. Col. Hayden, over
sixty years of age. was a great favorite
with the dog. Bryant was lost in the
disaster. On Sunday afternoon the dog
started ont and followed the searchers
for bodies in the meadow-lands. He
was then seer on Miller's flats, paving
in the sand, and when he was visited, it
was found that he had dug quite deep
in the dirt, the excavation in which dis
covered the lower portion OF e. mans
limbs. The next half hour revealed the
form of Bryant. Diligent search had
been made for these remains, but it
seemed hardly possible that any human
being could have found the imbedded
corpse.
