Chairman McCreery Issues Formal Call
for Meeting of the Local Relief Com
mittee-Busincss TO Come Up.
Chairman William McCreery, of the
local Relief Committee for the Johnstown
flood, issued yesterday formal call for O.
meeting OF the committee next Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. Nearly all the
members of the committee are in town, hay-
ing returned from vacations and outings,
and full attendance is expected. The
now famous epistle Of Governor Beaver will
be the main topic OF discussion, and a
breezy time is expected. Only few Pitts
burg gentlemen were present when the con-
versation, so widely construed, took place
between Mr.. McCreerv and the Executive.
Recognizing this fact, Mr.. McCreery has
fortified his position with letters from out
siders who heard the Governors statements
as to what he would do in the matter.
Concerning the business to come before
the meeting, Treasurer William r. Thomp-
son states that there is grist of small bills
unpaid which represent points in dispute or
matters held for committee action. There
are a number of bills for labor performed
put in by men who worked from day to a
week; among them are some of Booth g
Films laborers Mr.. Thompson said that
If the committee took action promptly,
nothing would prevent his turning over the
balance of cash now in his hands-about
$3.50, ,000-to the State Flood Commission,
for the forthcoming final distribution. The
retention of a small reserve fund in Pitts
burg as provision for contingent bills will
be advocated.

he WILL RECOVER.
Ex.Mayor McCarfhy's Condition Consider
ably Improved Last Night.

Ex-Mayor McCarfhy's Condition Consider.
ably Improved Last Night.
At II o'clock last night Mr.. Will
liam c. Mccarthy was resting easier
with every prospect of his recovery.
When inquiry was made at his residence,
126 Clark street, it was announced that the
ex-Mayor would probably recover, unless
he took another chill. The original attack
came on with chill, and this symptom was,
therefore, very much dreaded.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. Mccarthy
fell into a gentle sleep and did not awake
until l o'clock in the afternoon. He per-
spired freely, and the doctor regarded.this as
a very favorable sign. When the physician
left the house at 10 o'clock last night he en-
tertained every hope of his patients re-
covery.
No little surprise was occasioned by the
announcement of ex-Mayor McCarthy's
danger of death from an attack of blood
poisoning, induced by the bite OF
favorite Newfoundland dog. The animal
seems to have been very vicious and bit
several people in the vicinity of Mr.. Nc
Carthy's residence. He could not, how
ever be induced to have the dog killed un-
til the day before yesterday, when he Or
dered it poisoned. A suit is pending
against him before Squire Cassidy for
keeping ferocious dog, the particulars of
which have already been announced in THE
DISPATCH.

DR.. j. f. Cooper. and 1 would advocate
a punitive clause in such law" The
legal paper was a very bitter arraignment
of the despoiler of homes and "the fairest
fruit of the family tree"
Some discussion followed DR.. Christne's
able paper, and sentiment expressive of
favor was freely declared by those present.
DR.. E. R. Snader, of Philadelphia, read a
paper upon "Red Lines on. the Gums as a
Diagnostic in Gases of Phthisis Pulmonalis. !"
DR.. Clarence Bartlett read paper entitled
Universal Forms of Oedema." DR.: w. j.
Martin read a paper upon clinical Con-
firmations," citing character of patients as
adjuncts to deductions, drawing the conclu-
sion that pathological conditions could not
always be judged alike.
Chairman E. c. Parsons read an interest
ing paper upon "Typho-M -Malarial Fever"
A paper by w. G. Goodno, NJ. D., upon
'Types of Southern Diseases" was read by
DR.. c. Mohr Several other papers were to
have been read, but went to the Committee
on Printing on account of the arrival of the
hour of adjournment.
EVENING SESSION ON SURGERY.
Last evenings session was devoted to the
Bureau of Surgery. The chair was occu-
pied by the President, DR.. w. B. Trites, of
Philadelphia. The first paper read was by
DR.. John E. James and treated of clini-
cal case in brain surgery, the subject being
a boy who was rendered unconscious for
week through falling on his head, who re-
recovered, and who, 15 years afterward, was
sunstruck. Epileptic fits followed. and an
operation was deemed advisable. There
was deep depression in the skull, and on
the removal of the bone an immense flow of
blood ensued. Death seemed imminent, but
finally the patient recovered. The hem
orrhages, the doctor said, were extraordi-
narily heavy.
The next paper was that of DR.. w. B.
Van Lennep, of Philadelphia, and was en-
titled Experiments in Intestinal Sutures"
The paper mainly related to personal ex-
periments and was described by Dr. James
as being of the kind most needed. Drs.
Buck, of Altoona, and L. II. Melliard, of
Allegheny, contributed papers on "Supra-
pubic Lithotomy." DR.. R. W. McClel-
land, of this city, related the case of boy
whose club foot he successfully operated
upon, and that of another boy who was so
deformed that he could not sit down in
natural position nor scarcely walk and
whom he so treated as to enable him to both
sit and walk in a natural manner.
DR.. B. Van Lennep was appointed chair
man of the Bureau of Surgery for the ensu-
ing year.

TALKING ABOUT GLASS.
Two Experts Who Have Come to Pittsburg
to HAVE Their Eyes Opened.


TO HAVE Their Eyes Opened.
Mr.. j. NJ. Pagnoul, of Jumet, Belgium,
and Mr.. Elliott Harden, of New York City,
are guests at the Duquesne. Mr.. Pagnoul
is an expert engineer in glass tank construc-
tion, and lately has been employed in the
erection of tanks at Bridgeton, n. j., for
President Bodine, of the National Glass
Manufacturers Association.
Speaking of the relative merits from an
economical point of pots and tanks, Mr.
Pagnoul said that he would estimate saw
ing in favor OF the latter of from 10 TO Is
per cent The tanks, he said, were much
superior in every respect to the older recep-
tacles, as, when the batch in the pot became
low, the quality got bad and the glass cor
respondingly OF a diminishing grade, while
with tanks in use the batch entering at one
end and the glass being gathered at the
other, certain quantity was constantly
maintained; the quality of the glass could
always be relied upon as constant
In Belgium, he continued, manufacturers
were about doubling their plants, paying
special attention to the production OF plate
glass. The object Of the two gentlemen in
visiting here is to spend brief holiday in
viewing our factories and acquainting
themselves with the use of natural gas as
applied here. They Will visit Jeannette
and other leading works. Mr.. Pagnoul is
pretty well up in the history of the glass
trade in this section of the country, and
promises himself pleasant time in adding
10 his experience while in Pittsburg.

THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE.
Very Little Change in the Present Aspect
of Affairs.

The freight blockade on the Baltimore
and Ohio and Junction railroads remain
practically the same. Manager Mcdonald,
of the Pittsburg and Western Railroad,
claims to have been compelled to. abandon
two trains. with the exception of one section,
on Monday night, because there was no cars
to be hauled. Besides there was only 38 cars
terday morning, and 80 of these were taken
away. Since that time the bridge
has been on the Junction bridge yes
filled with cars again, but the Junction has
a down grade from the Baltimore and Ohio,
and can bring down 200 cars in very short
time. Mr.. Mcdonald limited that the tron-
BILE with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
arose from the fact that he had refused TO
lend their cars with which to carry on their
Toledo coal trade. Several engines belong.
ing to the Pittsburg an Western had been
injured in wrecks recently. and would be
soon out on the road again to aid in remov-
ing any freight on hand. There would be
no trouble at all as soon as the engines now
being constructed for the road were COM
pIeted 81.

President W. B. TTiteS corded that fine, old
medical gentleman, DIR. Gustavus Reich
helm, when he arrived in Pittsburg 50
years ago and flung the single of the new
"faith" to the Western Pennsylvania
breezes. Nor was it in Pittsburg alone that
the new medical wrinkle subjected its
votaries to ieers and flouts. The civilized
world had to be taken by the throat and
made to believe in the new doctrine of 'like
cures like" The followers of Galen and
Hippocrates led the onslaught upon Hahne-
mann, but, in so doing, simply voiced the
popular opinion that the tiny pills and col
orless globules were inimical to health and
longstanding usage.
The early history of homeopathy in Allie
gheny county is replete with interesting in
cidents. The fight was sturdily carried on
by DR.. Reichhelm for several years, and it
is safe to say that he was a marked man in
the community. But after awhile some
other doctors dropped in. Among the pio-
neers were Drs. Hoffman, and Boyer, of
Allegheny City, and Drs. Drake, Cote and
Perriman, of Pittsburg. Gradually opposi-
tion wore away, and homeopathy became
firmly grounded in Pittsburg, the first city
west of the Allegheny Mountains to adopt
the new medical science. Its growth has
kept pace with Pittsburg in every essential
particular. There are over so physicians of
the school in Allegheny county. Not over
so, however, are numbered in the Home
opathic Medical Society, which meets regu-
larly on the second Friday of each month.
In the Homeopathic Hospital, the new
school has an institution to which it is possi-
bic to point with pride, and which has be-
come one of the city's institutions.
HoMEoPATHY'S EARLY DAYS.
DR.. Gustavus Reichhelm arrived in Pitts
burg in 1887, having come at the request of
Rev. Father Byer, who had written to DIR.
Constantine Herring, then the foremost
American exponent of the new school of
medicine, asking that physician be sent
here. DR.. Reichhelm was graduate of the
German University of Halle, and had be-
come enthusiastic over homeopathy while at

Regimental Societies Had m Excursion on
the River Yesterday.
The One Hundred and First and One
Hundred and Third Pennsylvania Volun-
teers held their annual picnic yesterday.
The Mayfower had been chartered for sail
up the Monongahela river. The day was
unpropitious, but it did not deter the veter-
ans of many hardships and battles to meet
reunitedly again to talk over the vicissi-
tudes of former days. About 200 veterans
with their families participated in the ex-
cursion. Some of them came from dis
tance.
The notable engagements which these two
regiments shared in are the following:
Yorktown, Williamsburg, Bottoms Bridge,
Fairoaks, Va, Malvern Hills, seven days

Horner, of Allegheny, read the mortuary
report. and paid glowing tribute to the
memories of six members deceased since the
last annual meeting. Drs Closson, Malln
and Horner were designated secretaries OF
the meeting. The censors reported favor
ably upon the names OF six applicants Tor
membership. There were 80 delegates pres
ent when the morning session was concluded
by the reading of & paper upon "The Water
Sheds OF the Scuylkill and Upper Della
ware"
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session at o'clock was
devoted to the session OF the Bureau of
Clinical Medicine with DR.. E. G. Parsons
in the chair in the absence of DR.. W. G.
Goodnow, chairman of the bureau. A
kindly telegram from the New York State
Society, now in session in Rochester, was
read. A telegram was ordered to be sent to
DR.. John Malin, of Philadelphia, Second
Vice President of the society. DR.. Maiin
is i'll, and the telegram expressed hope
for his early recovery.
DR.. W. B. Trites, M D., read paper on
"Herpes Zaster,'' dealing with symptoms
and treatment. He stated that it was both
neuralgia and rheumatic, and maintained
that it could be caused by impurities in the
atmosphere. The next paper was upon the
topic, "'The Medical Profession versus
Abortion, read by G. Maxwell Christine,
A. M, NJ D., of Philadelphia. There was
an appended comment of legal nature by
j. E. Scattergood, Esq, of the Philadelphia
Bar. Dr. Christine's statements were start
ling. He stated that any physician would
bear him out in the claim that unnatural
medical operations were becoming alarm
ingly prevalent among single women. "The
professional ridder of 'mishaps,' con-
tinued the speaker. "plies his trade in
every hamlet and town. Reputable physi-
clans must decline the appeals made to them
by women of every grade of the social world,
and their refusal begets field for practice.
Astounding
STORIES OF SHAME
are known to all physicians. and the evil
seems to grow. Immense profits are made
from the sale of medicines unblushingly ad-
vertised in otherwise reputable journals,
and the recklessness with which women
tamper with their permanent health is ap-
palling. No nostrum seems too dangerous
to be its own warning against use, and those
who aid and abet these crimes against
nature are rarely punished legally. Legis-
lative enactments of stringent nature
should be made without loss of time. These
so-called remedies are frequently violent
and always a source of great danger.
The profession must raise its voice
against this evil, for moralizing does
not hold it in check or prevent its rapidly
