CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Physicians of this city
have had brought to their attention asome-
what peculiar case. On July 3lst Miss
Sarah Latimer, principal of private school
for young ladies at No. 814 Michigan
avenue, was taken sick and died few days
thereafter. A physician who was called
thought it a case of cholera morbus. She
told him she had been taking medicine to
reduce corpulency, as she weighed over two
hundred pounds.
This is now believed to have caused her
death. 1t was remedy recommended by
friends in the East. She sent for it to Par
son, Luzerne County, Penn, and it came
accompanied by pamphlet entitled "Cor-
pulence Treated Without Starvation; or
How to Get Lean" BY NJ. NJ. Griffith, NJ.
D. 1t was dark-colored liquid with sa
line taste. Physicians say there is no doubt
that it killed her. She had been taking it
about three weeks and she was drowsy and
semi-conscious, wandering aimlessly about

respected lady.

New YORK, Aug. 12.-The cause, it is be-
lieved, has at last been found of the foul
odors which for several years have annoyed
the inhabitants of a certain portion Of
Bergen Hill Jersey City. Various measures
have been adopted from time to time to
suit has yet been reached. A year ago the
body of child was placed IN the receiving
vault of the Jersey City Cemetery. Going
a short time since to remove it for inter-
ment, the father of the child found that the
coffin had been removed to another vault,
and loosely piled in with mass of similar
caskets, all in stage of decay more or less
advanced. These and other discoveries led
to an investigation by the Board of Health,
who appointed committee to examine the
matter. The committee visited the Ceme-
terry and made some horrible discoveries
They found two vaults, the smallest of
which contained upward of three hundred
and fifty bodies.
The larger vault, it is estimated, con-
tanned nearly one thousand dead bodies,
some of which had been placed there forty
years ago, scattered about the floor and piled
up on all sides. The odor was almost over
powering, and one of the Inspectors re-
fused to cross the Threshold. The vault
communicates by means of ventilators with
the hillside, and from this source the In
spectors and physicians believe that the
horrible odors have swept over the adjoin-
ing city, poisoning the atmosphere for many
years. Steps will be taken to secure the
abatement of the nuisance. The disclosures
have created great excitement in Jersey
City.
The Chinese Six Companies.

past week. have resolved to come before the
public with proclamation in which they
declare thet they are only Benevolent AS

the slightest ambition in that direction "
"Do you want to go back to Congress?

The Silver Bill a Law.

The President. ON the 2sth ult., returned
the Silver bill, as passed by both branches
Of Congress, with his objections and with
out his signature. The message vetoing
the measure was promptly taken up by the
House, and without discussion, over-ruled
by more than the necessary two-thlrds
vote, passing the bill by vote of 1876 to Y,
The message and bill were taken up in the
Senate with equal precipitation, and the objec-
tions of the President over ruled by the nee
essary two-thirds vote-ayes, 46, noes, 10.
This was rather unusual, if not eXtraordina-
construed by some as disrespectful to the
President. But it undoubtedly was not so
intended. The bill has been thoroughly and
exclusively discussed, the country has been
and doubtless the purpose was to settle the
whole matter as soon as possible, without
that consideration for the proprietias of the
action that otherwise would have gorerned 3.
The Secretary of the Treasury has given
orders to have the provisions of the bill
theoretically and thoroughly carried out.
By the 10Th inst the minis will be at
work to turn OUT the silver dollar at the rate
of SO, 100000 per month.
The Secretary of State has also taken
steps for the conference provided for in the
bill with the nations Of the Latin Union,
and other governments that will be invited
to participate. 1t is expected that the re-
question of remonetizing silver.in France,
Holland and Belgium. In few months the
attitude Of Europe towards reconciliation
of silver will be known.

Conclusion Of Peace.

The conclusion Of Peace between Russia
and Turkey is announced. 1t appears that
Russia has abandoned some of its impor-
tant demands, including that for the Egyp-
tian and Bulgarian tributes. Negotiations
still continue as to the interests of Austria
and England, in the remainder OF the
terms. The attitude of England is still
war like, although the outlook for a general
peace is more favorable than it has been for
months.
There is much mistrust regarding Rus
sia's designs. In the present position of
the Russian troops they can occupy the
Chanak forts at moments notice. The
position of the British ships at Tuzla is re-
garded as critical owing to the danger of
an attack with torpedo boats from the vari-
GUS positions NOW occupied by the Russian
troops, and precautions have been taken to
avert night attack. The Gar has called
out battalions of the reserve, with artillery.
A despatch from Constantinople reports
substantial concession as having been made
in the terms of peace. The boundaries of
Bulgaria have been settled, and the demand
for the Turkish fleet withdrawn. A report
from Vienna states that the entry of por-
GiOu VI LIE huSsidl ARMY tulO COuslalCl-
nople may shortly be expected, irrespective
of the signature Of the treaty of peace.
The New York Times says, referring to
the singing Of the peace condition
The Russians give up the claim on the
Bulgarian and Egyptian tribute, but no 9TH
er change in the terms is reported. The
acquisition of the fortified towns and the
ports in Armenia, the practical occupation
Of Bulgaria by the Russians, the cessions of
territory to Serva and Montenegro, and
the demands Of Russia regarding the Do
brudscha and Bessarabia would appear to
be left unaltered. The question of the
Straits Of the Dardanelles is left to Euro
pean settlement, or at least to European
discussion, while Russia has the famous
nine points which possession gives. 1t
will relieve the English Government at least
to know exactly what Russia has extorted
from her defeated foe, and to be able to
study ''cooly,' as the London Times re-
marks, the effect of what has been done
upon that mythical entity, British interests.
The singing of the treaty OF peace is only
an incident in the European drama, and by
no means its climax.
