sanhedrim OF himself he would stay at
home hereafter. He called attention
TO a resolution he hsd introduced in
the morning on the strength of the
APPEALS article, aud asked that il be
nubllshed and commented on. Here
is his deadener:
Resolved, That in reporting papers
read before this association, tue daily
rrssl in mentioning the names Of con-
tributors ara placing the prisons OF
said contributors in an awkward posi-
ton, and they are therefore requ's ed,
in making reports, to avoid mention
ing names OF members Of this assoc a.
ton.
Then DIR. Hyer sat down
The report of the committee was
then put to the association and
adopted.
A large number oil interesting and
valuable papers were read during the
day. but as the association, by adopt.
ing DIR. Hyer's resolution, has shown
a desire to enshroud its proceedings
in deep and impenetIable gloom, no
report will be made OF them.
The APPEAL has for the last six
wears given column after column TO
the TTistate Medical Society, its re-
porters being at all times welcome,
but il looks new as ii they would
meet in executive session hereafter,

URGING PROMPT ACTION.
THE NECESSITY FOR BEGINNING
LEYEE WORK
Called to the Attention Of the Gov
ment at Meeting OF
Merchants.

Pursuant TO call published yester-
day, general meeting of the Mer-
chants EXCHANGE was held yesterday
mornipget IL o'clock to take acton ia
regard 10 tie suspension of the gov
eminent work on The river front.
President W. j. Chase presided and
L. A. Keeling acted as secretary.
The me. ting being called to order,
Mr. Jno. s. Toof offered the following
resolutions, which were unanimous y
adopted:
WHEREAS, By the strenuous efforts
of Repre- natives of the Mississippi
valley in the last Congress, and in re-
Spouse to the urgent appeals of the
people living along the Mississippi
river, an appropriation was made Tor
the resumption and continuance Of
the work OF river and harbor improve
ment; and for some reason, to us I'M
known, this work, in which the inter
ests OF our commerce is largely iu-
volved, has not been resumed, and q
large potion of season exceptionally
favorable for such work has been al
lowed to pass u utilized:
Resolved, That an appeal be made 10
the honorable Secretary OF War to
take immediate steps to procure tho
application OF the appropriation for
the purposes intended without further
delay, to the end that this fund may
bs expended while tie condition Of
the river and weather are 20 favorable
for the accomplishment of the work
and thereby afford relief, to the ex.
tent Of the sum appropriated, to the
suffering commercial Interests of the
Mississippi river between Cairo aud
New Orleans, and ia the improvement
OF the several harbors provided for in
the act OF Congress, by securing the
work already done, now suffering dam
age from long neglC ct, and Carrying 1t
forward toward completion.
Received, That we feel full confidence
in the plans and administration Of the
Mississippi River Commission in its
work of river improvement, having
assurance that navigation has been
greatly improved and commerce great
ly benefited wherever they have been
permit d to apply their methods of
river Improvement, and it lie the sense
of this body that they ought to be
supplied by Congress with ample
means to carry forward the work to
ultimate and complete success.
Resolved, That copies of these resolu-
tons be transmitted to the Secretary
OF War and to the President of the
Mississippi River Commission.
No further business appearing meet
ing adjourned

"What do you think OF the plan
laid out by Col. Clarke for a national

II think it is a good one for the as

and a third $1,000 year 10 judge

when they declined to give us the
dates we asked and fixed those OF
Nashville and Lexington so that they

to follow Latonia, and Lexington,

a fall meeting before, except in Sep
TENDER, stepped in and took our dates

MARRIED..
EIdridgc-ROgers.

A quiet wedding took place at go
o'clock Yesterday afternoon at the Gem
trail Methodist Church, in the pres
ence of an audience composed almost
exclusively OF the fair sex, The church
was not crowded, owing to the bad
stats OF the weather; but those VINO
were present made up in sympathy
what they lacked in numbers, and the
sentiment of good will and admiration
that followed the bride on her way to
the altar was general and sim
cere, and extended even to the
groom, who is comparatively a
stranger here. The bride was
Miss George Adams + bridge, q
lovely blonde, dressed in travelling
costume of blue velvet with tapestried
front, and claret colOred bonnet. In
her hand she carried a bouquet OF
lovely white flowers. The groom, Mr..
Abner Rogers, of Stanford, KY, is a
professor in the university OF that
place, and is evidently a young man OF
great decision OF character and high
intellectual endowments. The mar
risge service was read with great inn
preesiveness by the Rev. r H. Mahon,
and at its conclusion the Rev. s. O.
Caldwell offered an eloquent prayer.
The bride was the center OF q
hundred pairs Of admiring eyep,
notably OF bevy OF lovely school
girls, who came with their satchels oi
books on their arms TO witness
ceremony that never fails to interes
the feminine mind. The happy couple
left yesterday afternoon for New Or
leans, whence they 20 to Kentucky
their future home, where the sinceri
good wishes Of hundreds OF gooC
friends will accompany them. Tit
ushers who assisted at the ceremon!
yesterday were: Messrs. Il, b. Lee
mater, Ed Smith, Harry Fields, franl
Williams, ]. L. Mcdonald and ID. J

New Memphia Theater.

The Ring of Iron was presented last
night to fair audience, all allowances
being made for the bad weather. The
play treats OF life at the gold fields OF
Australia, aud London society; and
much OF the melodramic effect take
place in one of those terrible places
known as an English private mad
house, where many sane person mas
been incarcsrated and not only for
ever robbed OF liberty, but reason also.
Harvey has illu trated this by t1e IN

tom OF flashing the wretched victims
into insanity, though in this case
"Nurse Bland" catches a tartar and

back OF the would.be assailant. The
play was we'll received last night, and
the leading actors recalled after every
act, ItwiIl be repeated tonight.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.

When the society met at the Gsyo:o
after supper the committee was not
quite ready, and DR.. Armstrong rec d a
paper on cancers, which the members
tried to discuss, but they were
all so eager to hesr the COM
mittee that very little interest
wss taken. The doctors eat in groups
all about the hail, discussing the mat
ter in solemn tones, accompanied by
ominous winks and awe inspiring
blinks, now and then casting with
ering glance at the arch culprlt, Secle-
tary Williford, who had dared to read
a paper thought more worthy OF pub
LEGATION than anything else submitted
to the society. He did not seem to get
any hilarious enjoyment out of the
thing, and drew a sigh Of relief when
the committee announced that they
were ready. The report Yves con-
tanned ia one brief sentence, declaring
that they had carefully looked into the
matter Of "a certain breach of profess
sional etiquette" and had found the
accused innocent.

THE DOCTORS DISAGREE.
THE SOCIETY HOLDS A RED HOT
SESSION.
The Publication Of a Paper ON An.
tipyrin Has the Effect Of
Dynamite Bond.

The Tiiststs Medical Association
had a picnic yesterday. They had q
glorious opportunity and worked it
ior all it was worth. One Of the pa
pers read the fl st day was of such IN
usual merit that it attracted the atten-
ton OF the APPEAL reporter and he
published it. II a dynamite bomb
had been exploded in the middle Of
the medicine men yesterday morning
it could not have created a bigger sen.
sation than the account in the AP-
PEAL of the first days proceed
ings of the society. Only one
paper was published, that OF DIR.
Williford on "Antipyrin." None
of these who read other papers
or who took part in the discussion,
were given more than q passing mem
ton. One of the officers of the society,
according to DR.. Heber Jones, declared
that he was very much mortified be-
cause nothing had been faid about bis
speech; another sneeringly declared
that The world would believe from
reading bis paper that DR.. Williford
WAS the discoverer of antipyiin, and
yet others questioned the task of the
reporter in passing over their SPLEEN
did reports and reporting that of DR..
Williford. A committee was
APPOINTED TO INVESTIGATE
and swooped down upon the reporter
as he was quietly reposing under his
own vine and fig tree, ignorant of the
tempest in teapot he had raised. He
was requested to meet the committee
ar Z o'clock at Gaston's Hoiel, aud re-
Piled that as he had prize fight to
report at that hour, it would be i'm
possible for him TO do so, however
much be might desire to

COMMUNE WITH THE DOCTORS.

Then he was required to write out
an affidavit or something, and in the
interest OF science consented to do it,
provided they would agree that no
more should be said about it, Tearing
a leaf from his note book, he accord
ingly wrote simple declaration that
DR.. Williford had nothing to do in
any manner, shspe or form with the
publication OF the paper, and that he
attended the meeting at the request
of the association, and made report
of it in his own way, adding verbally
that the files Of the APPEAL would
show, year after year, paper after paper
read before the society printed in full,
and also that when DIR. Williford
learned that the paper was to be
printed he made vigorous protest,
but was informed that it was none Of
his business what the APPEAL pub
liehed.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-11-12
DIR. wATERPIELD,

member of the committee, said he
was satisfied it was not the intention
of any gentleman pre- sent to besmirch
the professional character OF one Of the
brethren; that the committee had
made a complete investigation and was
satisfied that no Iu'e had been vio-
lated. He gave detailed account OF
the labor of the committee.
DR.. Hyer said that as the reporter
was present he would like to ask him
to explain.
The reporter replied that it seemed
to him to require a good deal Of as
surance to ask him to assert verbally
the truth of a report made in his pa
per. He was not in the habit, he de-
clared, Of making a speech every time
he made report, did not tell how
and where he got his information,
even to grand juIies, and had no idea
of allowing himself to be catechiz ed
by an association Of doctors whose
mowers were considerably lets than
those of a grand jury; but in this case
he had departed far enough from his
rule TO get his own consent to the
writing OF a few lines whose purport
was that DIR. Willilord had nothing to
do with the publication Of the paper
on "Antipyrin," did not ask it, but on
the contrary, objected. He positively
declined to be cateChised by DR.. Hyer
or any one else.

said that something more than the
good Of the profession was at the bot
tom of the charges, and remarked that
il was q curious fact that when this or
that doctor went off to the springs to
visit a patient, or some lady recov-
cred, "thanks TO the skill OF DR..
Smith," no charges were made: de
had heard that some OF the physicians
kept a scrap book, in which such
notices were duly pasted. He wanted
to know, you know, how it was that
the reporter was 30 much interested
and always 30 accurate in such cases.
DIR. DUNN,
the president OF the society, made a
speech In the interest OF harmony.
He said he and other country doctors
came to Memphis, ss TO the fountain
head, to listen and to learn, but he re-
GREETED to cay that they were oftener
shocked by the wrangles and jealousle s
of Memphis doctors than edited by
the discussions in the society.
DIR. JONES
said he did not propose TO be choked
off in that way. That he had rights
and proposed to be heard. He applied
Or. Henning's remarks to himself, and
explained that the personals referred
to were printed without bis knowl-
edge or consent He declared that
the eociety had BEEN managed by O
ring. and that he had made fight on

cause be did not want ring member
