Contagious cases mot admitted.
IN THE INFANTS HOME we employ no wet
nurses. and the infants all fondlings, which all
admit must be diseased and the diseases are recog-
Dized as being the worst class known to the pro-
fession.
With such infants, in four months, by the use of
to 20 drops Liquid Food in their milk at each feed
ing they are restored to health, as all admit that
see them, and it is con rmed by the fact that our
mortality in July and August is less than that OF
other infant hospitals in the winter months and all
other homes in Boston take only infants from mar
ried parents and employ wet nurses, and they are
obliged to shut their houses up for three or four
months annually account of their great mortality

Significance of Yesterdays Secret Leg
islatiye Session of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The sum re-
quired by Secretary Frelinghuysen to
buy for the government certain rights
which 1t is understood the Nicaraguan
Government has conceded for the con-
struction of an interOceanic canal is $780,
600, not $4,000 as heretofore reported.
1t is embodied in paragraph of the con-
sular and diplomatic bill, attached to it
by the Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions and reported yesterday. The print
ed bill was first received to-day. The
paragraph is as follows
To meet the necessary expenses attendant
upon the execution of the neutrality act, to
be expended under the direction of the Presi-
dent, pursuant to the requirements of section
29l OF the Revised Statutes, S250,000, or so much
thereof as may be necessary.
The words "neutrality act' are not
begun with capitals, as might be expected
If they referred TO a specific act, and,
taking them in connection with the ex-
traordinary efforts to keep the matter
secret, the inference is drawn that they do
not refer to any specific act. Section 291
of the Revised Statutes is as follows:
Whenever any sum of money has been or
shall be issued from the Treasury for the pur-
pose of intercourse or treaty with foreign ma
tions in pursuance of any law the President
is authorized to cause the same to be duly set
tied annually with the proper accounting off,
GERS Of the Treasury, by causing the same to
be accounted for specially, if the expenditure
may, in his judgment, be made public, and by
making or causing the Secretary of State to
make a certificate of such expenditures as he
may think it advisable not to specify, and
every such certificate shall be deemed a sufi-
cient voucher for the sum therein expressed
to have been expended.
When that portion Of the bill referred
to was reached by the Senate to-day it
was passed over, its consideration being
reserved. When the bill with that ex-
ception had been acted upon, the Senate,
upon motion OF Senator Allison, went into
secret legislative (not executiYe) session,
and renamed with closedS doors about
two hours, adjourning without action.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
The shorter VIII and the Southern Mu-
tuaI Insurance Cases Decided.


tuaI Insurance Cases Decided,
ATLANTA, June 1O.-The Supreme Court
was in session to-day for the purpose of
delivering decisions. Two of these were
important. In the Shorter viii case, from
the Rome circuit, the Judgment of the
court below was affirmed and the will
sustained. The amount involved in this
litigation was about S750,OOO. 1t was
argued in November last. Among the
legacies sustained is one of $4,000 for
Shorter Female College. The bulk of the
property was LETT TO relatives Of the wife,
10 the eX ,lusiOn Of the husbands own
relatives, with whom he had little inter-
course.
In the case Of the Southern Mu-
tual Insurance Company, the iudg-
mcnt OF the court below was reversed.
The Supreme Court held that a reason
able amount TO be held as a surplus
should be determined. and all above that
amount be divided, and that all the parties
that had at any time insured and con-
tributed TO produce the surplus were
entitled TO share in the division Of this
excess, beyond the necessities Of the COM
pauy, which was ordered to be made.
The Surplus fund is of the face value of
about Sl,OOO,000. Much Of this is in stocks
and bonds. and the real value is about
Sl,200.000. The decision to-day will prob
ably result in the division of a large part
OF this surplus. j. II. Lumpkin appeared
as counsel for those who sought the diyi-
sion, and, when he had finished his argu-
ment and the court adjourned, was con-
graduated by the entire bench upon his
able and mastery presentation of the
case. This compliment was well be-
slowed and greatly appreciated. Jackson
and Hammond, the rival candidates for
Congress in this district, were pitted
AGAINST each O.her in this case.

One Attorney Tells How Another n the
Governments Employ Was Pur-
chased.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-Charles d.
Coleman, an attorney Of Plymouth, Mich,
in testimony given to-day before the CON-
mittee investigating the star route trials,
said that William A. Cook. one of the
government counsel in prosecution,
accepted several hundred dollars to pre-
vent the indictment of Mr.. Colgrove, a
star route contractor. DR.. Colgroye, the
witness said, was interested in a number
Of routes, and was innocent Of fraud, but
preferred paying out money to prevent
an indictment rather than have the noto-
riety which would have ensued had bill
been found. The negotiations, Mr.. Cole
man said, were conducted through Mr..
Cole. partner Of Mr.. Cook.
why did you go to Mr.. ColeY' was
asked.
''That be might influence Mr.. Cook"
ITO prevent indictment"' interposed
Mr.. Fyan.
''Yes, sir; to prevent Indictment" The
witness continued: Il went to Mr.. Cole
and conferred with him upon the subject.
He told me that he thought that he could
aid DR.. Colgroye, and l saw him 90 from
room IN which we were into an adjoin-
ing room and have a conference with Mr..
Cook. He came back and informed me that
he would be able to help the Doctor,
and he would want in the first place so
much money. Five hundred dollars was
the amount first spoken Of, but he after
wards got, / think, more than that. |
think he got $3.50. Mr.. Cole told me that
he got the money, and also told me that
he divided with Mr.. Cook"
''Was it at the time when Mr.. Cook was
in the government serVice?" asked Mr..
Springer.
Yes, sir, it was during President Gar
feld's sickness at Elberon.''

Senator Mcdonald Ambitious to Secure

STOCKTON, CAL,, June 10.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention met here to-day
with John H. Wise in the chair. Mr..
Wise, in an eloquent speech, said: ''Let
US, Democrats of California, send dele
cation to Chicago tor the old ticket, Til
den and Hendricks. If Tilden is nomIna-
ted we can pledge California against the
plumed knight of Maine." The mention
OF I1lden's name was greeted with tremen-
dous applause, all present jumping to
their feet, waving hats, handkerchiefs
and canes, and for several minutes the
speaker was unable to proceed. When
quiet was restored, the nominations for
temporary chairman were called for.
Stephen NJ. White, of Los Angeles, an
anti-mOnopOlist, was elected by acclama-
tion. On taking the chair Mr.. White
said, in the course of his speech, that it
was the duty of the Democrats through
out the country to nominate Samuel j.
Tilden for the Presidency.
After the appointment of various COM
mittees the convention adjourned until to-
morrow. The Third Congressional Dis
trict elected Warren 3. English and NJ,

to Tilden and Hendricks, with Thurman
as second choice. John r. Glasscock

COAL FOR So A TON.
The House Defeats a Bill which Prom
ised to Greatly Cheaper Fuel,

The House Defeats Bill which Prom
ised to Greatly Cheaper Fuel,
WASHINGTON, June 10.-1ir. David
son, of Florida, made an attempt in the
House to-day to get appropriations for the
Florida rivers, which were omitted from
the river and harbor bill, and Mr.. Hewitt,
Of Alabama, tried to get an initial appro-
priati0n for a project for the improve
ment of the Black Warrior, of Alabama,
to cost in ali 81, 100000. Mr. Hewitt and
MIR. Ellis. ofLouisiana, showed how all the
Gulf States would be incalculably bene-
fitted by the improvement, which would
en- able coal from the 5000 square mile
tract traversed by the Black Warrior to be
laid down at tidewater for 50 a ton. The
River and Harbor Committee admitted
that the proposed project was a good one,
but cOntended that it ought not to be COM
menced because it involved such a large
expense, because the immediate appro-
priatiOn would unduly swell the aggre-
gate bill, and because Alabama had got
ten her full share of the money appropri-
ated in the bill. Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsyl-
vania, who represents a constituency
which does not desire the House to have
cheap coal, made speech which
carried some Republican votes against
the project, as it was on the viva voce
vote. 1t was defeated by only nine votes.
On the teller's vote, however. there was
larger majority against 1T. So both the
southeastern movements were defeated.
The fact is the committee secured a ma
jOrity at the start which was competent
to carry out Its determination that the
bill should not be increased in amount.
