The German doctors who attended the late
Emperor Frederick have drawn up report
Of the case in which they abuse the English
physician, Dir. Mackenzie, unsparingly.
They accuse him of ignorance, clumsiness
and deceit, alleging that he wounded one of
the vocal chords Of the Emperor. which was
perfectly healthy, by a bungling operation,
and that either he failed TO recognize the
cancerous nature Of the disease, though the
signs were abundant and perfectly conclu-
sive to an educated physician, or he deliber-
ately and persistently lied about it to the
public. In short, they pronounce him a
quack and imposter DR.. Mackenzie has as
yet made no formal reply, but it is under
stood he makes the same charges against his
German associates that they make against
him, with the added accusation of drunken
ness at an important consultation on the
part Of one Of them. The quarrel is an un-
seemly one and is not calculated to elevate
the profession in public opinion. There
came very near being similar quarrel
among the physicians who attended Gen.
Garfield, but wise counsel prevailed and the
controversy was nipped in the bud.

Judge is free trader and he supports Clever

The only significance of his action is to
show the Interpretation put upon the Demo-

platform is to be interpreted. Mr.. Cleveland
In letter to the Tammany mass meeting
undertook to deny that his message was a

convinced Judge LELAND to the contrary
however. He still believes it free trade
message and will vote for Cleveland for that

The cost of the strike to tine Chicago, Bur-
lington IL Quincy railroad so far has been
about three and one half millions, and the
end is not yet Meanwhile the engineers
and the other employees who went out have
lost a huge sum in wages, while some of
them, heretofore respectable and law abid-
ing citizens, have, it is feared, been led by
passion and perhaps by financial distress to
the commission of acts that may land them
in the penitentiary. The responsibility for
this unfortunate quarrel belongs both to the
road and to the employees. A little forbear-
ance on the part of both at the beginning
would probably have effected an amicable
adjustment.

administration of local affairs and the sub

gress Of members for the four kingdoms to
which will be referred national affairs. The
highest branch would also include represen-
tatives from the English colonies; and one
South African diamond merchant has con-
tributed $4,000 to the Home Rule cause With
the promise of more, which is taken as an
evidence that the political ambitions of

 Carroll of Milton.

M
 Carroll of Milton.
 Mrs. Wm. Carroll, of Milton met with peculiar and painful accident last Tuesday. A colt belonging to her husband was hitched near the, house, which became frightened and entangled in the rope with which he was secured. Mrs. Carroll went to release him and in some manner got the rope twisted around her left wrist just as the colt made plunge which dragged down the post to which he was at tsched, and dashed away over the stones and stumps, dragging Mrs, Carroll by the wrist. Before she could disengage herself she had been dragged to the ground, and sustain ed a severe cut in the forehad, as well as several painful body bruises. Her left hand and wrist were badly lacerated by the severe strain on the rope which was wrapped about them. She was attended by Dr. D. J. Brannen, who says that although her injuries are necessari' ly painful, he does not consider them dangerous. The lady is to be congratulated on her close escape from what might have proved { terrible death.
