A Dog and His Doctor.


The best authenticated Of all the stories
of sagacity in dogs has been made public
this week. Mr.. Arthur L. Reade, Secretary
10 the Charing Cross Hospital, writes to the
Times of Wednesday to say that at 1890 on
Sunday night a rough terrier barked outside
the door Of the hospital till he was Jet in.

on the mat, AID held up an injured
fore paw. The house surgeon came.

across the hall to the accident room, jumped
at once, when invited to do so, on the chair,
ard sgsin held out the injured paw. 1t

OF The surgeon and loudly barked its graft
tude ill it had TO be turned out, showing
great reluctance to leave. Mr.. Bellamy,
the house surgeon, confirms this statement,
and odds that on Thursday the dog came,
like any other out patient, to have his
paw dressed. 1t is not known to whom the
dog belongs.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May lit was
officially announced In the Catholic
churches Of this city, At high mass ycster-
day, that Washington had been selected
q the site Of the new Catholic university.
A conference Of Catholic church men was
held in Baltimore last week to decide this
matter, aud after mature consideration
Washington was selected. Bishop Ire
land, Of Minnesota, who was deputed to
select The ground and make arrangements
for the erection OF the university, in
m address yesterday at st. Matthew's
Church, said this city was q good open
ing because II possessed greater literary,
scientific, political aud philosophic adj
vantages than any other city In the coun-
try. IL, IS the capital Of the Nation, was
the center OF the social and literary life
Of the country, and while other
cities had offered greater money
inducements 10 have the University
located In their midst, none could offer
the Inducements which were peculiar to
Washington.
The nucleus for the establishment Of
this university was the donation last fall 81

Measures for Its suppressson-A Hospi-

WrrKEsBAnRE, Pa, May ll.-Pollce
Surgeon French and DIR. Shakespeare, OF
Philadelphia, arrived here Saturday night
to investigate the Plymouth epidemic on
behalf Of the relief committee Of Phila-
delphia. Yesterday morning, accompa-
MED by several of the leading physicians
Of this city, they went to Plymouth, ex-
amined the water supply and investigated
the theory advances BY the committee Of
wilkesbarre physicians as to the source
OF the epidemic. With this theory they
agreed, aud In their opinion II i one OF
the clearest cases Of the method in whic b
typhoid fever Is spread.
Early yesterday morning Jno. Williams,
miner, aged twenty-one years, died
from the plague, and permission OF his
relatives was secured for post-mortem
examination, which was made In the
presence of dozen physicians from this
city and Plymouth. IL was established
beyond all question that the epidemic was
one OF genuine typhoid fever. The par
tcular tension Of this disease-the ul-
ceration and perforation OF the intestines
was remarkably plain. Saturday and
yesterday five deaths occurred from the
disease.
Active measures 10 prevent, and II pos
sible stop, the ravages Of fever At Ply
mouth, were inaugurated this morning.
A large school house was fitted up as .
hospital. II Is fitted up with the peces-
sary convcniences. and Is In charge OF q
regular corps Of physicians and nurses.
A wagon load Of medicine was forwarded
from the wilkesbarrc Hospital 70 Ply
mouth this morning. As soon as patient
is taken sick he Is to be conveyed to the
hospital. II Is hoped In this way TO pre-
vent the spread OF the disease. II Is q
fact that out Of every five who die from
the disease two die from neglect. There
were two deaths last night and several
new cases.

BLOOMINGTON, ISp., May il.-All the
work OF the detectives has resulted In
apparently fixing the guilt Of the
recent robbery Of the express safe, aud
the murderous assault on the messenger
and baggage on VIM. Wright,
whose parents reside near Harrodsburg,
but short distance from the scene Of the
robbery. Wright was = short time ago
In the regular army, aud was also a cow
boy In Texas. He left his home In this
county on the day Of the robbery, and
answers the description OF the robber
in every particular. A photograph Of
Wright taken two yc~-s ago was sent 10
New Albany. and Peter Weber, the bag
gagemaster, feels confident that he Is the
man. A dispatch has been received from
Tcrre Haute, announcing the arrest OF
Wright at that place. The CITY Marshal
Of Bloomington started after him imme-
diateiy. He will arrive here to-day, and
Weber will be here on the noon train TO

OTTAWA, ONT, May l2.-Lord Mel
gund, In View Of the very unsatisfactory
outlook In the Northwest, has been hur-
riedly recalled by the Government to OF
tawa 70 act as advisor. This strengthens
the belief that the Government regards
the situation with greater alarm than II Is
willing to admit. A serious mistake has
been made In sending infantry In place
OF cavalry. Sir Jno. Macdonald
stated in Parliament last night
that the official report Of the Duck Lake
fiaht has been received, but was not sat-
isiactorily made out, and has been re-
turned 10 BE- enlarged upon. IL II gencT-
ally believed that the report reflects on
the action Of some one whom the Gov
eminent does not care TO compromise.
There Is no truth In the statement that
correspondence has passed between the
Canadian and British Governments re.
carding the Intervention OF the latter II

department of the board of health, luna
cy and charity, and more than justify
the worst suspicious entertained by va
rious members of the board.
A gentleman familiar with the revela-
tions of the last meeting of the board
SAYS Il do not care to tell and no
paper can publish the testimony given at
the last meeting of the board. Only
those who were present and listened to
the confessions of officers employed by
the board could believe that such inhum-
an practices could have gone on in any
civilized community. The board had
been engaged in investigating another
matter, and at the suggestion of one of
the members certain employees Were call
ed in to give testimony concerning that
matter. After the chairman had exam
ined the first witness a member began to
question him concerning certain rumors
which had from time to time been
brought to the ears OF the commission
ers.
"To make long story short the Wit
ness confessed, duplicating not only him
self but one of the most prominent Off
GERS who has been in the employ of the
State, in practices of the most shocking
character. Two other witnesses, also
employees of the board, were called in,
and after some questioning likewise con-
fessed to having been guilty of the same
practices. I believe the chairman, Char
les F. Donnelly, viii admit that have
stated what occurred as mildly and
charitably as possible. | believe Mr..
Fallon, of Lawrence, DR.. II. p. Wolcott,
of Cambridge, and DR.. Dean, of BrOcton,
were present at the meeting also, and,
perhaps, other members.
"The employees who acknowledged
their participation in the practices were
put under oath by a prominent member
of the board at the conclusion of their
testimony never to reveal to any one out
side what they had confessed"
