MOUNT UNION, OHIO.
Funeral Services Of DIR. Joseph
DillwOrth.
correspondence OF the Register.


Mr. UNION. November 70.
DR.. Joseph Dillworth, a prominent
physician OF Mt. Union, o., died at his
residence, November -, 1878, aged As
years, after a lingering illness Of six
weeks. According to conversations the
Doctor had with some of his friends, it
appears that previous to his last sickness
he had been declining in health for sew
eral years. His last wish was that his
funeral services should be held in the
hall of Mt. Union College, of which he
had been student 81 years ago. Though
he was but II years of age when he en-
tered college. he had great thirst for
knowledge. was diligent in his studies,
obedient to his instructors and punctual
in all his college duties. The funeral
services took place November 18th, at
p. NJ, conducted by Rev. Grimes, ID. d.,
pastor Of the Presbyterian Church of
Alliance and assisted by Rev. Hare, of
Chicago, who was one of the deceascd's
dent of the Mount Union Col
legc. These three y,ct'"'""n had been
the Doctors spiritual advisors IN ir;a last
illness. Hon. f. \. Johnson, Of Mount
Union, another classmate Of the de-
ceased, and following him as Repre-
sentative, from 1870 to 1874, in the
Ohio Legislature, and DIR. l4anborn,
banker OF Alliance, in whose Office DIR.
Dillworth commenced the study OF
medicine twenty-eight years ago, also
testified 10 his great honor and integrity
as a man, even in his early boyhood,
when he was struggling with poverty.
A large concourse OF more than thous-
and people from far and near had come
10 pay 10 their honored friend their last
respects, and the large hall would not
have accommodated the multitude, had
our students not been absent at their
homes, enjoying vacation from the
10th To the 2Gth OF November. As
physician DR.. Dillworth Was an honor
10 his profession, as father he was
kind, as citizen highly respected, and
as a member OF the Ohio Legislature, in
1868 and 1869, just and honest in every
respect. He was blessing to humanity
and promoter Of education, having
only recently donated large sum to-
ward the erection, in the spring, of the
new College Museum building.
We sympathize with his wife, who is
feeble in health, and his two children,
who have lost in him very kind father.

OF erection, These prisoners got out
by taking up part OF the floor and
making an excavation by which they
we're enabled 10 get outside OF the Jail
proper. Then they scaled the outer
wall and let themselves down en- the
outside by twisting their shirts into
ropes. This is several times that Sheriff
Kinney has permitted his prisoners to

Special Dispatch TO the Register
WASHINGTON, November 20.
With the rest Of the Cabinet, the Sec
retary of War supports the Presidents
Southern policy, and in regard to it says:
The Republican party desires peace
throughout all our borders, but holds
that peace that is worth having and that
will last, must be based upon
and spring from the enforce
ment OF equal justice and equal pro-
lection iur all. We seek reconciliation
upon this basis. We will have II upon
no other. When the States OF the South
shall OF their own accord protect all citi-
zens without discrimination, as the
States of the North do. We may expect
10 SEE and welcome the return OF peace
and prosperity; but without this, the
onlv peace We can have is the peace of
slavery. The peace which is oppressed
can not always secure submission. The
South will continue to suffer In all her
material interests until the Constitution
and laws shall bc faithfully observed and
enforced throughout her borders, and
all her people are iully and equally pro
terted i'm their rights.

THE NEXT SESSION.
Important Bills to Come Up

Special Dispatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON, November 20.
In spite OF the fact that action must
be taken on several important bills, the
approaching session does not promise
anything of special interest. The mem
bers that are here, and they are few, all
have special axes to grind, and regard
none of the regular business to come
up rs of Importance. Among the
prominent bills, is the repeal OF
the resumption act to come before
the Senate under the engineering Of
Voorhees,. OF course Hayes will veto
it. should it pass, and the necessary
two-thirds majority il wanting to pass il
over his head. The silver question
promises some interest, and Judge
Buckner, chairman of the Banking and
Currency Committee, thinks the banks
are fighting themselves, and that the
next Congress will put quietus on
them. Potter's great bill TO transfer
claims to the Court of Claims will un-
doubtedly come up, and will be fought
by the Republicans under the rebel
claims cry. Wood will probably give
up his tariff bill, and it is rumored that
Butler will again attack the administra-
ton. this time on the Fishery award.

AMERICAN HEALTH ASSO-
CATION.
In Session ut Richmond, Va.


RICHMOND, November 2O.-The Amer

called to order this morning by Presi-
dent Harris. Previous to proceeding
with the regular order OF business, the
President laid before the association q
letter from Governor Porter OF Tennes.
see, regretting being unable to attend
on account Of official business, assuring
the association Of his sympathy with
the noble work in which they are en-
gagged and extending an invitation to
hold the next meeting at Nashville. The
invitation was referred to the Execu-
tive committee for consideration. After
some routine business, DR.. Bemis read
the regular report OF the Yellow Fever
Commission, which SAYS: That
yellow fever was impaired into
New Orleans by the steamship Emily
Souder, in the month of May. The
Commission visited the various infected
points in the Mississippi valley, and
found as a result of their investigation
a sad neglect and violation of the laws
of health in regard to drainage, and in
attention to deposits OF fetid matter
and refuse animal and vegetable matter,
and inattention to purity OF drinking
water. The conclusions reached are as
follows:
First-We have not, in solitary
instance, found case of yellow fever
which We would justifably consider as
OF de moro origin, or Indigenous to its To-
cality
SecOnd-ln respect to most OF the
various towns We visited, and which
were points of epidemic prevalence, the
testimony showing importation was di.
rect and convincing in its character.
Third-The transmission OF yellow
fever between points separated by any
considerable distance appeared to be
wholly due to human intercourse. In
some instances the poison WAS carried
in the clothing of the people going from
the infected districts; in others il was
conveyed in such fomitcs rs cotton bag
ging, or goods of the same description.
Fourth-The weight OF testimony Is
very pronounced against the further
use OF disinfectants. The physicians in
the infected towns, almost without ex-
ception, state that they are useless
agents to arrest the spread Of yellow
fever, while some affirm that their
vapors are seriously prejudicial to the
sick.
Fiith-Personal propyloxis by means
of drugs OF other therapeutic means has
proved constant failure. A respecta-
bic number of physicians think the use
Of small doses OF quinine OF use in pre-
vention.
Sixth - The quarantine established
with such degree OF surveillance and
rigor that absolute non-intercourse IL
the result, have effectually and without
exception protected its subjects from
the yellow fever

Life Insurance Companies Excited.

New YGRK, November 20.-The Life
Insurance Companies are considerably
excited by the death, at Binghampton,
SATURDAY last. of Col. Dwight, who with
in three months previous, had succeed
cd in getting policies in favor Of his
wife and son, amounting 10 S253, ,6Dr,
and paid $500 for premiums since he
WAS financially embarrassed, and, il is
thought, could have raised only with
the greatest difficulty the 5000 to meet
the premiums due on the next quarter.
IL is the theory in some insurannes Off
ces that Dwight intended when he took
out the policies To be dead man be-
fore another premium was due.

WASHINGTON, November 20, 1873.
The Secretary of the Interior can use
sharp language when occasion demands
it, asshis letter to the War Department
fully verities. He calls upon Generals
Sheridan and GibbOu to rise up and
make good some charges made in their
annual reports. He claims thai
full investigation into their al
legations will prove them with
out foundation and establish en-
tire confidence in the Indian Office. He
considers the charges of very sweep
ing and vague nature, and demands
specification. The policy adopted by
the Department was done only on the
advice Of General Crook. who opposed
any policy that would force the Sioux
TO any action that would endanger our
peace with that tribe. There are many
cases where officers have most unjustly
attacked many agents who have proved
honest and efficient. 1t is more than
likely that this controversy will become
searching and prolonged one, as
Schurz is thoroughly aroused.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Murder Of n Witness In The
IndianapOlis Court House, d.

ISDIASArUILs, November l9.-The
long list OF murders which have dis
graced and shocked this country, re-
ceivcd another addition this afternoon
Warren Tate, a well known and nOtori-
Ous, but wealthy citizen, shot William
Love, a prominent real estate broker,
under circumstances oi pecu liarly ex.
citing and tragic character. Love had
been testiiying in the Superior Court
befure Judge Burns, in a case in
which Tate was interested, and his evil
dencr related mainly 10 Tate's personal
character for truthfulness and
liability. As he was leaving the Court
room Tate followed and q short alterca-
ton ensued, which ended in the firing
OF two shots. Love Was mortally
wounded, one bullet having passed into
his abdomen and another through the
leg. He died at q O'Clock. The murder
was committed in the corridors si the
Court House, and within few yards Of
the Criminal Court, where the trial of
Guetig for the murder Of Mary Mctilew
was nj the time proceeding. When the
fatal shots were fired at Love, the Dis
lTlCI iltoIutN WaS III VIC a't VI WV -"
ing TO the jury the circumstances
OF the killing Of Guetig's sweet
heart. He had just uttered
the words, "Guctig fired one shot,
another quickly followed, two shots
were fired" when the report of Tste's
pistol, discharged just outside the Grim
inal Court room, startled every one. A
general rush was made to ascertain the
cause Of the shooting, when Love was
seen sinking to the ground mortaily
wounded. There was naturally intnse
excitement, and il il almost wonder
that Tate was not roughly handled. No
violence was, however, attempted, and
the murderer MAS, in iact, the coolest
and the most seIi-possessed man around
the court house. He WAS arrested snd
subsequently removed TO the station
house. where he refused TO be inter
viewed.
