AN ARMY SCANDAL.

The appointment of General Rucker vice
General Meigs resigned, seems to have
about it a trif1e of the scent of job. Gen
sra Meigs was retired on account of his
age after service of forty years,
twenty one of which were spent as head Of
the Quartermaster Department where he
did work OF which he has just reason to be
proud. His retirement was deserved as he
had right to expect q needed rest after
his long and honorable service But it
seems that his successor, who by the way
is Phil. Sheridan's father-in-law, is an older
man than General Meigs, and the only
reasonable imputation to be put upon his
is that no was raised to this
higher rank SO that in a short time when
he is also retired on account of age he win
do SO with the increased pay that his high
er rank viii give him. His age already
entities him to retirement.

when it once gets there it cannot be shak

the startling announcement that Blaine il

POISONED ICE.

| Now that the possibility of ice contain
ing the germs of disease has been agitated
fresh combinations Of the truth of the the
ory are being daily received. In paper
read before the Connecticut Medical soci
ETY., which met at Hartford on the 25th
and Goth Of last May. DR.. Orlando Brown
| gives detailed account of serious sick
ness produced in family living in Wash
| ingion, Conn, simply from drinking the
water OF melted ice which had been cut
from pond in which there were impuri
ties. The case came under the immediate
family of Mr.. H consisted of himself,
his wife, his wife's mother, aged sixty five
years; son, aged twelve years; a daughter,
aged nine years. and female domestic.
In August, of 1879, the entire family were
taken sick By disease resembling dysen-
terry, and three of them died within five
days Of being attacked. A farm laborer,
who worked for MIR. H two days, was
seized with the same complaint and q
neighbor who attended the family during
their sickness was similarly affected. DR.
Brown thus describes his experience with
the case:
''Of course the cause for the sickness
was earnestly sought for. The water and
food were carefully examined, but no dis
ease producing elements were found in
them. The drinking water was obtained
through lead pipe from a spring about
thirty yards from the house. A careful
examination of it and its surroundings
showed it to be entirely free from contain
ination, and practically pure. The sani-
tary surroundings to all aappearnce were
the same as in previous years, when the
family had enjoyed almost complete immu
nifty from sickness. A careful examine
ton, however, finally disclosed enc change
During the previous year a dam had been
built across the little stream at the foot of
the hill for the purpose of forming pond
from which ice could be procured
during the winter The ice
had been procured from the pend
and stored for use. Upon inquiry l
learned that il had been the custom. to put
a large piece of this ice in pail in the
morning, then to fill the pail with water.
OF this the family would drink until the
supply became exhausted, when more
Ice would be added without the water,
thus making nearly all the water
consumed, that produced by the ice. as

40 more ice should be used in this man

WESTERN INTERESTS.

The New York San, speaking Of the
new superintendent Of Congressman says
The nineteen States drained by the Missis
sippi River and its tributaries have many
interests in common, and they may ere
long act together as cordially as the New
England States have acted in past times,
At all events, under the new apportien-
ment, these nineteen States will have It's
representatives in the House, which is 8
majority of 80, and their SO Senator'S will
constitute just one-half the Senate. They
Will cast s13 electoral votes, which will be
d majority of 80 while the total stands al
396. These facts may work out surprising
results in the next ten years.

little more than mile aboqe the pond OF
Mr.. Ii It is comparative
u sluggish. having fall Of less than fifty
feet TO the mile. From the house and out
buildings the drainage reaches the stream
below the dam. From the house OF Mr..
Il, the drainage flows directly into
the stream and pond from which the ice
used:by the fanily of Mr.. 81. was taken.
This pond .-lso receives all the washings OF
= hog-yard in which hogs have been kept
for fifteen or twenty years. The ice that
has been taken from the pond above the
dam had been used as freely and in much
the same manner by family living near
rs that taken from the
pond by the family of Mr..
H.-but without any injurious effect. 1t
was evident then, that if the ice taken
from this stream produced the disease il
must have been contaminated below the
dam That this was the fact was probable
from the large amount of surface drainage
poured into the stream below that point.
IAN analysis of the ice used by the fam
lily Of Mr.. H, made by DIR. Ray
mond, gave free ammonia .0S parts per mil
lion, and albuminoid, .09 parts per mil
lion The water was greenish in color,
with light-colored particles, organic in Or
igin, in SUSPENSION sufficiently bad
drinking water to cause the disease, says
DR.. Raymond. This analysis and the cir
cumstanees of the case, together with the
exceptional absence of all other disease
producing causes, force me to the conclu-
sion that the first four cases here reported
were caused by the drinking of melted ice,
and that the disease thus caused developed
an element Of infection that produced other
cases.
During the past two years of my life I
have closely observed the streams and
ponds from which ice is taken. and have
found the surroundings of large portion
exceedingly filthy. Many of the ponds are
raised on small streams, into which flows
the washings of the hills and farm yards,
also the sewage from houses situated near.
1t is true that some of this filth will settle
to the bottom, but this cannot happen
when the streams are frozen over early in
the winter, when it is deposited on the ice
to be washed down with the surface drain
age from the hills during the first warm
day or light rainfall, and spread over the
surface of the pond, where it will be frozen
the next cold night and Incorporated with
the ice that is stored for use.
AS it has been proved by frequent ex-
periments that freezing viii not always
destroy the vitality of disease producing
germs, it is clearly our duty to warn the
community against the drinking of water
produced by melted ice. If water must be
cooled let it be done by applying the ice
to the outside of the vessel containing it,"
