In the last number OF the Sanitary In
spector Secretary Young Of the State Board
Of Health publishes a request for inform
alton concerning the first outbreak 0f diph-
iberia In Maine. One OF the first well known
localities Of infection was in Chesteryille,
where the disease appeared In the fall of
1855.
At the first outbreak OF diphtheria which
has ragged at the Insane Hospital during the
last three months, room was prepared for
the disinfection Of the attendants and sick
room apparatus by the fumes Of strong
acids. This method, however, has proved
unsatisfactory, and, at recent visit OF Dr.
Young Of the State Board OF Health to the
hospital, he recommended the construction
OF steam disinfector, which was Immediate
ly built. This apparatus consists Of large
box In which the mattresses, bedding and
clothes TO be disinfected are placed. Steam
is introduced and allowed to thoroughly
penetrate into all places where germs of the
disease might be lurking.

LONDON, Oct 22.-The commission ap-
pointed to investigate the charges made by
the Times against Irish members of Parlia-
lament opened court at II o'clock this morn
ing. Sir Charles Russell. as leading counsel
for Mr.. Parnell. opened the proceedings by
applying for the release from Wexford pris-
on Of Mr.. William Redmond. Justice Han
men, president Of the commission, said the
same course would be adopted with Mr.. Red
mond as In the case Of Mr.. John Dillon. His
release must not be construed TO mean that
he had been granted immunity from imprls-
onment. He would be set free only under
strict conditions. These would not allow of
his taking any part In public life, and would
compel him TO hold himself strictly q pris-
oner on parole. Sir Charles Russell inti-
mated that for the present he would not In
sist upon his application for Mr.. RedmOnd's
release. A discussion then ensued upon the
length Of time the court should sit weekly
Counsel for both sides eOncurred In pr0pO-
sal to hold sessions upon four days Of each
week, but the court decided to meet
every week day except Saturday. and
ceedings. Attorney General Web
ster opened the case for the Times. He
promised to give the court the fullest infor-
nation In the Tlmes's power, regarding the
source Oh tne evidence against the irish par
ty, which the Times had published. He
would not treat the case as having anything
to do with the merits or demerits Of home
rule, or Of any supposed burning Irish ques-
tlon. The Inquiry was strictly into the spe-
cifc charges made In tn O'Donnell action
against the Times, and he would be careful
not to introduce questions beyond the charg-
es. The Attorney General then proceeded
to review the Times's articles on "Parnell-
ism and Crime" going over the old ground.
The court room was well filled, but was not
overcrowded. Perfect order prevailed. The
general public was not admitted. Mr.. Par
nell and numerous other Nationalist men,
bers OF Parliament were present.
Evidence would be furnished. said Mr..
Webster, to prove that ever since the Land
League was formed Mr.. Parnell and his col
leagues were intimately associated with
lrish-American advocates Of dynamite, and
also TO show that many ustraced crimes
were due to the inetemeBt Of both the Land
and National Leagues.
