There seems to be trouble in the
Memphis and Charleston camp,
Three of the Oldest conductors in the
service have been discharged by Su-
perintendent Pegram, namely, Harry
Ryan; who has been in the service
30 years; David Ramsey 35 years,
and Otey Figures 10 years. 1t seems
that two bill clerks.-Tom Norment
and Frank Newsome--in the Office
of Aaron Allen, the Memphis agent
Of the road, desired to go to Tus.
cumbia, Ala, and the three conductors
above named, knowing they were in
employ of the road, passed them
without passes. For this they were
| discharged, as we're also the two
clerks Superintendent Pegram also
discharged recently an engineer and
several Of the train crew, because
they ran switch engine and cars

CHICAGO CONVENTION.
FIRST HoNoRs FOR MISSISSIPPI.


Ex-Congressman Jno. r, Lynch,
of Natchez, Mississippi, was elected
temporary Chairman of the National
Republican Convention at Chicago
on Tuesday, in opposition to ex-
Senator Powell Clayton, of Arkansas
who had been nominated for the posi-
ton as is usual on such occasions, by
the National Executive Committee.
Clayton is an ex-Union Soldier
who lost an arm in the war, and an
ex-carpet bag Senator. Lynch is
an honest and able colored Missis-
sippian and native Of the South.
While the anti-McKee Republicans
of the State are very proud of the
honor conferred upon one of their
number, they cannot help feeling
that it was one of those victories that
are usually more prolific of nettles
than laurels.
Up to hour of going to press Wed,
nesday, no ballot had been taken.

 At the semi-annual meeting of the Fair field County Medical society held yesterday in Bridgeport at the new hospital building the first meeting in the new building-about 40 members were present After various gentlemen had presented interesting cases, Dr. F. M. Wilson, of Bridgeport, gave highly interesting and instructive talk upon the newly discovered anesthetic Cocoine hy- drocholorate, which is now being extensively used in operations upon the eye, rendering them entirely painless. He illustrated his remarks by administering the drug to one of the members. A small .tumor was removed under it's effects by Prof. R. F. Weir, of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York and other hospitals, from the forehead of Dr. Wright, of Bridgeport, who was will ing to place himself martyr to science, in order to discern whether the operation was painless or not. The operation was com pleted without suffering to the pa- tient, although the incision was quite deep. Dr. Wier then addressed the meeting upon the famous hospitals and sur geons of Europe, passing his remarks upon observations made during his travels abroad. He presented many photographs of eminent German surgeons and new instruments and antiseptic dressings. Upon closing the doc tor received vote of thanks from the socie- ty.
 The meeting then by an unanimous vote made honorary members of the society as follows: Dr. Comings of New Britain, presi- dent of the State Medical society; Drs Wier, Roosa and Munde of New York, Dr. Carmalt of the Yale Medical school, New Haven, and Dr. Hastings of Hartford. The compliment was ably responded to by each of the hon ored recipients.

BOARD OF HEALTH.

Dr. LIndsley's Visit To St. LOuis-In-
 formal Discussion of the Cholera
 QuestiOn-Other Matters of Interest.
 A meeting of the Board of Health was held last evening, Professor Brewer presiding.
 Dr. Lindsley said he had recently attended the meeting of the American Public Health association and the National Board of Health at St. Louis. The cholera question and the probability of it's reaching the United States next year was discussed in the convention. The necessity of stringent quar- antine regulations was also discussed at length relating to the prevention of the ingress of the disease Dr. Smart at this convention explained in detail the methods for the prevention of the invasion of cholera into this country as suggested by the Nation al Board of Health, but there had been no appropriation by Congress to carry out these plans. The plan proposed was to have agents in all parts of Europe who should mo- tify every port in this country when vessels sailed from foreign cholera infected ports
 Dr. Lindsley said that the United States could be protected from cholera by energetic and systematic efforts there was no doubt. It had been done before and could be done again. It is expected that during the winter the different State Boards of Health would devise methods that would so far as possible prevent the spread of the dreaded disease.
 Executive Officer Whedon reported that one of the girls in the telephone office was taken sick last week with diphtheria and he called on Inspector Mix to explain his inves- tigations of the Yale bank building at length. Inspector Mix said the wash bowls and clos cts were not properly trapped and ventilated and there was foul odor that proceeded from them. Health Officer Lindsley said he had made a partial investigation of the building, but not extended as he desired. The health officer was instructed to investi- gate further and report at the next meeting.
 A communication was read from the Aneri- can Public Health association, Baltimore, Md. The association calls for funds to de- fray the personal expenses of members while doing necessary experimental work and at tending the proposed meeting or conference of the State Boards of Health Dr. George H. Rohe, corner of Green and Null berry streets, is authorized to re- ceive contributions to this fund
 Dr. Lindsley reported the mortality of last month nothing peculiar, although there were a few more cases of typhoid fever than usual at this time of the year. The health in the l Seventh ward is improving owing to the con- nections of houses and tenements with l sewers, while the death rate in the Third 1 ward continues to increase
