wounded POLICEMEN at the hospital. Even

Officers jacob Hanson Thomas Reddcn, and
Timothy tlavin will each lose leg. All

to nursing and medical attendance
The policemen are rot positive that they
have the murderous bomb-thrower Of the
Newmarket massacre locked mp, hut they
are confident that If they have not got him
they have the means OF getting him, and
that be an not possibly escape capture md
conviction The seizure Of other bombs the
material for their manutac ture, and the
arrest of several persons in whose pos session
this mnrderous material was found, is proof
that they have the mnrdcrous ruilian's ac-
complies under lock and key. They prob
ably helped. to prepare the bomb, and I'M
doubt dly know who threw it. 1t is not in
the nature OF things that they will conceal
the guilty party to their own injury; in
time they will no doubt furnish all the in
formation the officers require.

Consumption by Ingestion.
DR.. BLAINE HOLDS THAT THE DISEASE
IS ACQUIRED FROM MEAT AND MILK.

DR.. M. d. Blaine read paper Friday
night before the New York Academy of
Medicine On Bovine Tuberculosis- its
communication by Inhalation, ingestion,
and hereditary transmission, and its rela-
ton to public health" DR.. Blaine said
that consumption. or tuberculosis, is both
Inherited and acquired. He held that as
shs 50-ealIed lower animals have organs
z5imilar il construction and material TO
those of man, the disease existing in The
ZONE are capable of reproduction in the
other, ard that it ia natural that man
10 drinks the lower animals milk and
eats their flesh. should contract their dis
eases through ingestion. He said that
per cent. of all the animals killed in the
abattoirs Of New YORK have tuberculosis,
and that 81 per cent. Of all mich cows
have the same disease. Last July. Will
Mfr. Romano, the meat inspector, he WIS.,
led the STOCK yards about the city. o.
the day of his visit Is COWS were sold 10
Jersey buyers, 3 of which had tuberculosis.
In Is herds that furnish milk for Brooklyn
every herd comprised animals that BAG
this disease, and in one of the cows. ST.
lected at random and killed. the bronchial
glands were three times their normal size,
with calcified sections. cbeesy Jumps ano
cavities filled With mucopurulent matter
DIR. Blaine exhibited specimens o. evident
cases of tuberculosis taken from IL
abattoirs in various parts of the city.
DE-. Cyrus Edison. after eongra tulatin.
DIR. Blaine On having written the frs
thesis on tie subject which had ever beer
written, said that 600 COWS, many OF
which are diseased, are permanently sta
bled about New. 7 ork, and he was satisi
ed that they gave tuberculosis to hundred
of persons. He said thai it is sham
and disgrace that in this whole city the
are only three milk inspectors and only
one meat inspector.
The Academy voted to have DR.. Blaine's
paper printed for general circulation.
