Infanticide In New York Discussion In
the MedIcO.IeKaI soc Iety.

New YORK, Dec. G--At meeting Of the
Medco Legal Society last evening DR.. Leo
said 1t was marvellous that infanticide in
New York ranks far ahead Of the cities Of the
Old World. Statistics from the coroner's office
show in 1873 there were 113 cases Of infanti-
eide In this city; in 1874, l12; In 1875, 102; in
1876, 10l, and in 1877, 99 1t is generally be-
leved, too, that this list does not represent
more than one-fifth Of the actual number. 1t
Is apparent that the crime Is ranked among
the fashionable practices Of the day. Another
cause Of death to infants Is opium or some
narcotic which is given to the babe by its beg
gar parent to excite pity in the pasSer by for
the little one asleep. One case has fallen un-
der my observation in which the babes brain
was congested from opium which had been
given it.
In the discussion which followed it was
urged that the society use every means in its
power to break up the business OF physicians
guilty Of criminal malpractice and to secure
better laws in regard to infanticide. The diff
ficulty with the framing and executing laws
on the subject was that 1t was almost mpos-
sible to prove from examination whether the
child was born alive or not.

and IT now appears That the tonnage for

settled yet sas to the combination for another
year. Inquiry was make to-day Of Saml
Sloan president ot the Delaware backawann
and Western Railroad Company In regard to
the probability Of the dissolution of the
Anthracite Coal Association, of whose board
Of control hn II a present member. Mr.. Soa,f
said he hoped and believed the combination
was virtually at mn end. and that ne was glad
to have it'out of the way. He had never be-
ieved In combinations. and he hoped there
would never be another. II would be better
for everybody he believed for the different
coal companies to conduct their own business
on business principles.
In conversation the other day another mem
Der OF the board of control had argued with
him that it was better to have fixed price
for coal. beCajIsG the country would only take
u certain amount OF tonnage, and any guam
tity In addition could not be given away. Mr..
Sloan said, with the country shipping cutlery
to Birmingham and prints to Manchester, he
regarded such u statement as absurd. An in
crease Of tie price of coal and n limitation of
product lonswould be an injury to the manu-
featuring interests and to the country gen
orally. 1T was better for the companies them
selves, ns well as for consumers, to have n
larger amount Of tonnage at moderate prices.

hank FOrEer.

NEW YORK, Dec. G.-The CRY published in

ing the continent, gives some striking por-
traits Of various cassrs Of detectives and the
police Of the present day. It says the detec-
tive who figures most largely in this nara
tive confronted the forger with an order OF
arrest on his way to Denver, accompanied
him TO that city, kept him steadily under sur
veillance and bled him of thousands Of dol
lars, even going SO far, according to the for
gers complaint as to take his watch and
chain. In the meanwhile the Colorado sheriff
who had issued the order of arrest telegraphed
to New York to find out whether there was
any reward 10 be had for the apprehension Of
this half prisoner, and learning that his dis
interested efforts for the punishment of crime
were likely to be poorly repaid. coolly dropped
the whole matter. The forger left Denver for
San Francisco, with the so-called detective
travelling in his company, the former passing
forged notes and the latter taking n good
share of the proceeds. InSan Francisco one OF
these operations was discovered by some per-
son without sense Of the proper functions OF
detective, and was arrested by rash and
inexperienced police officer. One Of Iadley's

WASHINGTON, Dec. G.-The lottery Is in
trouble again here Some days ago Anthony
Comstock seized all the lottery malls In New
York and practically closed the business Of
all the principal lottery Offices there by lodg-
ing information against them with the United
States District Attorney for New York. The
latter, instead Of proceeding at once, referred
the case to Devens, asking whether he should
proceed under the law Of Congress against
tho senders Of immorI mail matter, or be
guided by Devens' opinion Of last winter In
the Postmaster Generals case. 1t appears
that the District Attorney was not willing to
risk his official character upon o general in
terpretation Of Devens' opinion last winter,
but desires special opinion for this special
case. The matter is still In allegiance and will
probably remain 50 for some time. Devens is
very much perplexed about this class Of

The Postal Mail servIce-FaIIure Of the
Appropriation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. The inadequacy OF
the appropriation for railway mail transpor-
tation, unless additional funds are supplied
Mt the present session Of Congress, will com
pei the PostofIice Department to adopt n
measure which will cause q great annoyance
to the public. The amount Of appropriation
is S9,1OO,00O. The cost Of the service up to
November 80 and the additional expense due
TO probable increase in the new service, in
dicate deficiency Of over 100000. I'm
less Congress at this session supplies the
deficiency, there will remain from the
first of January six months in which
to reduce the postal service by that
amount. About Si,0OO,000 Is paid during the
year for railway postal cars. Withdrawing
these cars entirely from the service, repre-
senting a saving of about 100000 for the six
months remaining, will bring the transporta-
ton expense within the appropriation.
The Ptstma8ter General has been forced to
the conclusion that unless the estimated de-
ticency is made up by Congress before 1t ad-
journs for the Christmas holidays, he will be
compelled to order the discontlnuance Of the
ailroad postal cars service from that date
He has written letter to that effect to be
sent to the Speaker OF the House.
