The theory that consumption is an
infections disease receives strong sup
port from a recent investigation by the
British Medical Association. A circu-
Tar inviting opinions and experiences
was sent 10 physicians throughout the
United Kingdom. OF the LOIS re-
ceived, 673 were simple blanks, signify
ing that the recipients had no data on
which to base a conclusion. OF the re-
naming 405 thirty-nine were doubtful
and 105 were in the negative, while 2G1,
or a decided majority Of those who ex-
pressed any opinion, recorded them
selves as believers in the possibility of
contagion. No less than 1872 physi-
clans reported cases where the disease
was communicated from husband to
wife, or vice versa, and the important
TACT is distinctly stated that in 100 of
thsse 1879 cases there existed no family
predisposition to consumption in the
partner who caught the infection.
Still stronger support IS given to the
theory Of communicating by cases
where the persons were entirely unre-
lated. A Young man who dies of con
sumption was nursed by his sister, and
her death was followed by that of q
friend who attended her. 4 dressmak-
er who lived in a lonely cottage had
three girl apprentices, who in turn re-
manned a week with their employer over
night and slept with her. The mistress
died Of consumption, and within two
years all three of the girls had gone the
same way. Such facts as these sustain
DIR. Koch's theory that consumption i:
caused by living germs of disease. which
may be communicated from one person
- another, and will make mankind
lore anxious than ever that science
may realize its hope Of finding a meth
d for destroying these germs of multi
flying their force by incubation.

The cultivation of forests has long
been Systematically pursued in France,
Spain and Switzerland. The govern
ments of these countries have expended
ed immense sums of money in the Alps.
Pyrenees and Ardennes, where only the
hardest and cheapest trees can be
grown. The planting of the low-lying
lands near the Garonne has added G40,-
900 1000 sterling to the wealth of France
and a tract of country once unhealthy
and almost barren has in 80 years be-
come %populous, prosperous and active.
The English government is seriously
considering the cultivation of forests in
Ireland. Mr.. Howitz, of Copenhagen,
one of the highest authorities on this
subject, has visited Ireland and studied
its adaptability to forest cultivation, and
pronounces it one Of the most favorable
countries in the world for the growth of
timber.

Gen. Swain Charged with Fraud.

A. E. Bateman, of Washington the firm of
Bateman & Co, bankers filed with the secre-
AIRY of war a letter in which he says:
sit becomes my duty to prefer charges against
Brig. Gen. D.. G. Swain at the head of the but
reau of military justice of the United States
army for fraud and for conduct unbecoming
IN officer and gentleman. / stand ready to
prove that said d.. G. Swain has committed
fraud to all intonts and purposes upon the
banking house of Bateman& CO., of which l
am a member. Some two years ago said ID. G.
Swain, having deposited the sum of $1,000 re
ceived upon his departure for the West a
simple due bill at his request to have in case
accident should befall him. This amount was
checked out subsequent TO that
late by said j. G.. Swain, for which we
have a number of vouchers. After having
drawn all the money out, and a settlement
being made, he negotiated and transferred the
due bill for the full amount with certain par
ties in this city. l am further ready to prove
that said ID. G. Swain assisted to negotiate
army pay vouchers with orr finn, which he
knew to be fraudulent and triplicates of out
! standing accounts. / ask that a court martial
be ordered for the trial of saidD. G.. Swain on
the charges preferred. / desire, when il Is or
dered, to amend this by presenting other
charges under the head of conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman. ] am, sir, very re-
specially, A. L. BAIENIAN.
To the Hon. Secretary of War.
Gen. Swain denies the charges.

TRADE AND COMMERCE.
Merchants and Manufacturers Waiting,
Watching and Hopeful.

Watching and Hopeful.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. Z.
Business finds itself still hating and feeling
its way. Merchants are cautious; enter prise is
moving moderately and slowly-merchapts and
hopeful that the worst is over. Grocers report
trade good Sugars are frmer. Roasted coffee
is in steady demand, and reports from the sea-
board are to the effect that the green bean has
stiffened up again. Corn syrups frmer but quiet.
Canned goods dull, and with the exception of
peas weaker. Some of the packers write that
September was an exceedingly dull month. Dried
fruits are in good demand, and the market is
strong. There is an active demand for raisins,
but the stock of old is rather light, and there is
but very little now coming, as the vessels will be
quarantined on account of the cholera. Citron
is very scarce, and has advanced sharply. Prunes
are in fair demand, Nuts are meeting with a
moderate trade, and peanuts are stronger.
The produce markets are fairly active. Eggs,
butter and poultry all weak at our quotations;
inferior stock difficult to dispose OF. Trade in
the hog products is better, although the demand
continues light for the season of the year. The
wool market is dull; eastern papers say it is a
marvel to some how prices have held up as well
as they have. There is, as usual at this season,
avery full stock of wool In the market With a
wide range of selection, manufacturers can
buy any grade of wool they wish at a very low
price. The actual sales have been very light
and probably will remain so until there is some
radical change in the demand for wooden goods.
GRAIN.
