The baltimore and Ohio Detontlons.

Philadelphia Press
There has been an animated discussion by
some of our contemporaries Of the circum-
stances connected with the alleged failure or
neglect of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to promptly move passenger trains be-
longing to the Baltimore and Ohio through
the Pennsylvania railroad yard in West
Philadelphia. Some ofthe points connected
with this controversy are OF considerable lo-
cal interest, and they have also "a bearing
upon the general transportation MOVEMENTS Of
the country. The exact nature Of the occur
rences complained Ofas Instructions otrains
are undergoing an elaborate legal investiga-
ton before Examiner appointed by the
United States Circuit Court; and the gener-
al character Of the testimony adduced may
be briefly summed up in the statement that
on the one side il is alleged that trains
have been unnecessarily detained for periods
ranging from less than half an hour 10 moro
than an hour, while on the part Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company il j. claimed
that in no instance have the detentions been
greater than were necessary 10 insure the safe
tyof the passengers carried and al the same
time to continue the appropriate applica-
ton Of the yard through which these trains
must pass to the accommodation Of the enor-
nous freight business conducted there On
the one hand representatives Of the Balti.
and Central railroad Of New Jersey assert
that there have been undue and unnecessary
detentions of passenger trains belonging 10

and Washington, while representatives, OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company reply
that they have given all the orders requisite
for q faithful obedience to the dec,ce issued
by Judge McKennan commanding that these
trains should be transported over the line Of
the Pennsylvania railroad with proper dill

More Trichine.
The Results of Eating Halr-COoked Ham.
Chicago Tribune

Chicago Tribune.
Another family, that of Edward La Coste,
at No. 3l3 West Lake street, is suffering
from trichinosis resulting from eating ham
cured and boiled at Arnold Bros. market
Nos. 145 and 147 West Randolph street, the
place where the ham was probably procured
by the Italian who died on West Randolph
street some time ago from trichinosis. Five
persons were made sick in this instance, but
skillful and timely medical aid has prevent
ed any fatal results from the terrible para
sites Mr.. La Coste is a travelling salesman
for the grocery house of John A. Tolman &
Co., and is a man of good constitution, and
about 40 years old. His family consists of
his wife and two Children boy of 2 years,
and bright girl of Z. Robert La Coste,
father of Edward, a vigorous gentleman of
70 years, lives with his son. On Tuesday,
December 81, the old gentleman bought at
the store of Mr.. Kenney, on West Randolph
street, near Peoria, some boiled ham that
had been bought at Arnold Bros, where it
is boiled ready for use. The La Coste fami-
ly ate it for supper, Edward partaking free
" of it, and the others moderately. The
children were supplied from the outside of
the ham, Roberat La Coste observed that
THE MEAT WAS NOT WELL COOKED,
and ate but little of it. On the following
seized with a sudden illness and vomited
freely. The next Monday at o'clock her
husband was taken with violent vomiting,
and DR.. Blanchard was called and prescribed
medicine, apparently for diarrhea. The pa
tient grew worse, and another physician,
being conveniently near, was sent for, and
gave prescriptions for biliousness. The same
treatment was continued, and Mr.. La Coste
grew worse instead of bet tier He was seiZ-
ed with such severe cramps in the stomach
and pains in the hip and knee joints, that he
suffered exeruciating agony. Mr.. La COste
had an idea that he was suffering from the
gnawing of the parasites, and attributed it
to the ham, but no special notice was
taken of his suspicious A week ago yester-
day DR.. Blanchard was again called, and re-
sumed his treatment, giving glycerine freely
to his patients the entire family having
similar symptoms to those of Edward La
Coste, but in milder form. The old gen
tleman, Robert La Coste, kept about and at
tended to the others with the assistance of q
servant until last Monday, when he was con-
fined to bed. DIR. Blanchard disco vered mill
ions of the trichinse in the secretions elected
from the stomach of Edward La Coste, and
continued his treatment vigorously, until
the parasites were about elected from the
stomachs of his patients, all Of whom are able
| to be up and doing, with the exception of the
old gentleman, who will probably come
around all right.
The ham partaken of in this instance was
not more than half cooked. The experience
of the Messrs. Arnold has been very unfortu-
nate, and this latest instance only shows
neglect on the part of their employees in not
boiling the ham sufficiently to prevent Sc
rious results.

Curious STATISTICS Of Divorce.

Some startling facts in regard to divorce
were given by the Rev. Samuel W. Dixie, 40
the last "M0ndav lecture" in Boston In
Vermont, according 70 recent reports, the
proportion Of divorces Is one TO every four
teen marriages in Rhode Island. one 10
every thirteen in New Hampshire it is
large in Maine it has increased "a third in
two decades, and in Massachusetts,, the
heart Of New England, where once divorces
were granted for only two causes-while
they are now granted for nine-the Com
monwealth copying the vices Of Connecticut
just as that State was Kidding herself of
them-the ratio Of one to every tifty-oue has
grown to one to every y 40 marriages,
the number in 1873 being 600. The New
England States granted 2O72 divorces in
1873
In Ohio the rate was one to twenty-five
for long time, and now il is one 70 eigh-
teen. No city has had a worse reputation
than Chicago, yet statistics prove that the
ratio of divorces to marriages is smaller
than either New Haven or Hartford.
Wherever New England influence is felt
there has been an increase. The Western
Reserve, consisting Of the twelve northeast
ern counties of Ohio, is said 10 contain
New England stock purcr than Is TO be-
found anywhere else, except ia few COun-
ties in Maine, and here the proportion Of
divorces to marriages is one TO eighteen,
while IN She rest of the State il is one 10
nineteen. In Ashtabula county it Is one 10
eight, and in Lake county tile proportion Of
suits bsgun 10 marriages is one to six and
four-teHths. In some Of the southern coun-
ties, peopled by Welsh and Scotch, 70 is
about one to fifty.

Correction.

In the case of Ed NeEns .. The State, coma
victed of murder, reported last week, in
quoting the defendants 9Th charge. which
the court below refused, the word possibility
was by mistake on my part used in place of
probability. The instruction as asked was
as follows:
THE court instructs the jury that if
there Is q probability Of the innocence of the
defendant I'd Eelms. then q reasonable
doubt Of the guilt Of the defendant exists,
and the Jury must End verdict Of not
guilty"
The refusal to give this instruction vas
held to be error, for which the Judgment Of
