POETRY THAT BREEDS DISEASE,
Germs Lie Hidden Among the Leaves o
Many Book.

Many a Book.
II sometimes am almost led to believe
that the intellectual benefit derived from a
public library is outweighed by the physical
detriment," were the words that tell from
the lips of distinguished physician day
or two ago, as he rather gingerly handled a
greasy-looking volume that ornamented the
mantel piece of a patients sick chamber.
"Not only Is a bookworm's absorption
often injurious to his health, but it is a well
authenticated fact that disease may be writ
ten between the lines of books, be they
fiction, poetry or theology. The average
patron of circulating library is person
not overscrupulous as to the care of bor
rowed volume. He will allow filth to ac-
cumulate rapidly within and without, and,
if member of the household be stricken
with measles or scarlatina, or even diph-
iberia or smallpox, like as not the book will
find its way into the presence or the lap Of
the invalid, to be transferred thence little
later to the shelves of the library, and then
to the hands of some unsuspecting reader.
'The leaves OF the book easily absorb the
germs of disease that float in the atmos-
phere. Microscopes have brought to light
the fact that bacilli sometimes oversprinkle
a page with the frequency of periods and
commas. The handling of such book
might be fatal to the reader. 1t is not
actually known that many illnesses result
from such causes, but there is always the
danger"

LEBANON, o., Angst 2.-The committee
investigating the offices of the Auditor and
Treasurer of Warren county made second
partial report to-day. 1t covered the period
OF Coleman's incumbency as Treasurer from
September, 1887, to the present time, and
was very lengthy and elaborate. The court
house was crowded with many anxious tax
payers, and the utmost silence prevailed
during the 40 minutes occupied in its read
ing by Chairman John E. Smith. The
amount of fraudulent warrants drawn by
the Auditor and paid or marked paid by
the Treasurer aggregate S63, ,211 90.
This does not include school funds to the
amount of 81 161 72 drawn from adjoining
counties by the Auditor and appropriated
to himself The committee reported that
within period of less than two years the
Treasurer paid to the Auditor on account of
his salary, allowance and fees the sum of
81, ,772 AZ, which was $40, ,463 81 more than
he was legally entitled to draw. Many of
the fraudulent warrants purported to be for
supplies for the county, when in fact no
such supplies were received. One warrant
was in the name of Robert Clarke & Co. for
S72 for nine sets of the revised statutes.
The biggest draft was made on the school
funds, the amount of ST. ,668 80 having
been drawn in the names of the various
treasurers of the school funds of the county.
All funds were drawn on indiscriminateiy
with a lavish hand. Bonds issued by the
commissioners to the amount of S15, 900 were
intrusted to the treasurer and auditor for
negotiation. They were sold but no account
OF the money received appears on the books
OF the treasurer. Coleman was rearrested
TINS afternoon on two more additional
charges of embezzlement on warrants sworn
out by Prosecuting Attorney Albert Ander-
son and arraigned before Justice Blackburn.
He gave bond in the sum of S26, 200, which
is the amount of the alleged embezzlement,
and had his hearing set for next Monday.
The commissioners declared the Auditors
Office vacant to-day and appointed Ellsworth
Benham to fill the place until the election
in November. Benham is a prominent
young man and Chairman of the Republi-
can Executive Committee of Warren county.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.l
PHILADELPHIA, August Manager
Horace B. Phillips, of the Pittsburg Base
ball Club, was tonight removed to the
Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane,
popularIy known as Kirkbride's. DR.. j. W.
Foster, of Pittsburg, arrived in this city
at 9 o'clock this evening to
attend a consultation in the case of Mr..
Phillips. After registering at the Girard
House, DR.. Foster notified DR.. Wolford, the
attending physician, of his arrival, and an
examination of the mental state of the mana
ger was Immediately made.
When DR.. Foster entered the room he was
recognized by Mr.. Phillips, who seemed
greatly delighted at seeing his family physi-
clan, and so expressed himself in the most
coherent language he has used since his
attack. After passing a few pleasantries,
his power of correlation began to drift
away. He talked of buying baseball
leagues and theaters, of selling railroads
and of building palaces in a rapid. discon-
nected talk. When he was questioned by
either doctor he would momentarily

He had lost all power of concentration of

After an examination lasting nearly half
an hour both doctors came out of the room
and consultation was held in the
hall. In the discussion which
agreed with DIR. Wolford that Manager
Phillips was in the acute stages Of paresis,
and that it was the result of overwork. At
the close of the talk DR.. Foster said:
II cautioned him personally, last spring,
MOTTO manage the ball team this year. He
was in a very poor physical condition, and
was almost positively certain that the
work naturally attendant upon the manage
ment of q club would have a fatal
result. He told me he did not see how he
could give it up. In tact he admitted that
he did not like to relinquish his connection
with the club. as it gave him
A GREAT DEAL OF PLEASURE
in handling it, and had quite liberal Pc
cuniary compensation attached. 1 found
that I could not dissuade him from
taking the management of the club,
so 1 left him. While have
fully expected that Mr.. Phillips
must suffer from his overwork, yet the sud-
denness and the acuteness of bis attack is
great surprise to me. 1t is the most pro-
nounced case of wipe-out 1 have ever had
occasion to fall in contact with. He
has completely lost all power of concentra-
tion. only at rare intervals. He is in the
acute stage of paresis. 1 consider his re-
covery entirely improbable. He has no
constitution to fall back upon, whatever"
A short time after the consultation, Mana
ger Phillips, accompanied by his wife,
brother, the nurse, and DIR. Foster, was
in a carriage to Kirkbride's
Insane Hospital in West Philadelphia
The doctors had determined that
this would be the wisest course to pursue.
They did not return until nearly midnight,
after having left the unfortunate man be-
hind, he making no objection to the ar

NEW YORK, August 2.-The Engineer
ing Ne,cs of this week will say:
To any one familiar with the status of exist
ing Northwestern railways, as outlined in the
opinions of wellinformed railway managers,
published in the daily papers recently. it may
seem strange that any one at the present time
is rash enough to invest his money in building
new railway lines in the Northwest. 1t is in
this section that the building of competing
lines has already been overdone, as every one
confesses and the hostile railway legislation,
which is generally considered to be the worst
evil railway investors have to fear, has been
carried on chiefly in Illinois, Wisconsin. Min
nesota, Iowa and Nebraska, all Of which States
are included upon our map.

in this section has greatly fallen off; Lur the
common impression that it has entirely
