THOSE CREAM PUFFS AGAIN.
The president laid before the Board. a letter
OF w. g. LIE Due, commissioner of agriculture,
as follows: " AT your request have directed
n InaI turner IN examination be made for the
poison was present in the samples of cream
puffs submitted for analysis. Such examina

DEATH IN THE CREAM POT.

been 6aftied to discover the cause. He men
upon cream as perhaps furnishing an expla-

JUDGE WARDEN AGAINST DIR. ANTIsELL.
MIR. Warden offered resolutions: That the
Thomas Antisell to Mr.. Frederick Freund on
the subject of an article OF food sold by the
latter, IS rot covered by the privilege pertain
ing to the opinions regularly given by experts
That the said certificate is neither Official nor
professional. That the giving of it with a view
TO publication, while this board was promptly
wholly efticacious investigating power as to
the subject to which the certificate refers, be-
longs to the class of things which. in some cir
cumstances, may be pardOned, but which can
tremely violent and InSOlent attack made by
DR.. Antisell on the whole board is revotingly
ungrateful to those members OF it who, when
exception was taken to his action, made most
liberal suggestions in his favor. That the at
tack made by DR.. AntiSell as to the whole
board must be considered as a gross appeal to
prejudice. That the SO-Often-manifeSted ma
leVOence OF influential persons toward I'M
queStlOnably proper action by this body is to
be greatly deplOred on purely sanitary grounds,
and ought to be severely censured by the pub
lie.
Mr.. Warden said that Dr. Antisell had over
stepped his privilege and duty in giving this
card Of DIR. Antisell in THE STAR of the 18th
was unmerted-the whole board being at
lacked, when Dr. AntiSell must have known.
OF the board disagreed with Dr. Bliss This
card is personal, and that part relating to cum
DURANGO throws light upon it. Instead of
board, and he winds up his card by referring
to the Medical Society and general public
caring but little for the ineompetencies and
Yagarles OF the board: MIR. Warden continued
ard expressed the opinion that DR.. Antseli
VIII be ashamed OF his course in this matter,
c>ptcIdIlN HIS cara OF the lStn.
DIR. BLISS SHOCKED, MORTIFIED AND CHA.
n Dr: Bliss said when he read the article of
Dr. Antisell he was shocked, mortified and
course. What he had said was forced on him.
It looked to him as if DR.. Antisell intended to
1oteStall the action of the board, and he
celVe the community, but the card was calcu-
lated to deceive. Ii he CDR. Bliss had been
Incorporate in his language, and had said all
II. The STARS report seemed to be boiled
down. and his points were stripped of every
qualification; but this style of reporting was
characteristic of the reporters. He had before
him an article in the Union of Yesterday writ
ten, as he understood, by person in the Int
rlOr department, and he would simply ask at
tefreading II II his remarks were Incorporate
was not that article infamous? If there is
fraud and corruption abOutth board let them
come up and make the charges.
Mr.. MARBURY OBJECTS TO MUD SINGING.
on the principle that two wrongs do not make
right, he would not be party to retort in
Kind. He thought the resolutions were too
strong. and it would not do for the board to
notice every little attack DIR. AntiSell had
made mistake, and it would be better for the
board not to notice it, He asked Mr.. Warden
TO withdraw that resolution.
MI Warden declined to do so, quoting, The
sword
DR.. cox MILDLY CONDEMNS DIR. ASr1sELL.
. Ut: COX SAID the resolutions were of value
Tor they had brought out such a powerful argu-
ment; sympathised good deal with what
had been said by Mr.. Marbury, and it was
by passing attacks unnOticed. He defended
the course of Dr.. Antisell in furnishing the
certlfcate. remarking that he did not attempt
that the pqtfs he examined were received on
the llth. He was astoniShed to see the card
OF Dr.. Antisell attacking the whole board
ana Dr. Antisell was wrong in publishing it.
ACTION ON THE RESOLUTIONS.
Dr. Verdi favored the resolutions except the
fourth ion (Which speaks OF the violent and inso
ieIt attack OF Dr: Antlsell,) and suggested
that there be unanimity on the subject.
The resolutions were voted on Seriatim and
al except the fourth were adopted the vote
being Verdi, Bliss and Warden in the affrma
tIEe, and Cox and Marbury in the negative.
The fourth resolution was rejected, Drs Cox
and Verdi and Mr.. Marbury voting in the
negative.
