Special Dispatch 10 the Daily Eagle.
GUTHRIE. Ok, Nov 15-The council this
morning went into a committee Of the
wholeT 10 consider council bill No "a, which
provides that the Office of coroner be done
away with and two medical experts be APP
pointed by the county commissioners to
examine dead bodies when the cause OF
death is unknown or violent.
1t was introduced by Councillor Brown,
of Oklahoma and is taken chiefly from
the Massachusetts law.
Mr. Linn made motion, which was sec
onded by Mr.. Smeltser, that the bill! be re-
ferred back TO the committee, with In
structions, to bring in a new bill providing
for the election of a coroner, who should
be a reputable physician
The motion was lost.
Mr. Nesbit favored a system which
would give every justice of the peace the
power of coroner and TO appoint physl-
clans to make medical examinations.
The bill as amended provides that the
examiners shall serve for term of two
wears unless removed by the county COM
missioners. They are authorized to take
evidence and compel the attendance of
witnesses, and reduce all the facts TO
writing: when necessary, an examiner
NAV cause the arrest of the supposed Grim
inal and turn him over to a justice of the
peace. IIf case of an autopsy where
chemical experts are employed, the bill
provides for the maximum fee of $25.
Mr.. Foster moved to amend by making
it $50
Mr.. Smelser thought it too high, and
said that a university chemist with ample
appliances could make it for much less.
Mr.. Gardenhire and Mr.. Nesbitt also
favored lower fee.
But the sense of the council favored $25.
1t allows the examiner s. for each eXami-
nation and $50 for each autopsy, when it is
necessary.
Mr.. Linn moved to strike out $40 and
insert $40, seconded by Mr.. Nesbitt.
The motion carried.
The bill was ordered engrossed as
amended.
Mr.. Foster called up his joint resolution,
providing that after December 4th no new
bills be introduced until all the old bills
vera disposed of, for which purpose Mr..
Nisbitt withdrew his motion TO adjourn.
President Gardenhire was excused until
Tuesday at o'clock.
Mr. Brown of Oklahoma, read few sec
tions from his bond bill, to give the coun-
cilors something to think of over Sunday.
1t will prabably be taken uD Monday.
An adjournment was taken until Mon
day at 3 o'clock.

KOOHlS REMEDY.
The German Professor Now the Central
Figure Of the Scientific World.

BERLIN, Nov. 15.-Prof Koch holds
supreme sway over public interest. The
publication of the professors statement
yesterday has intensified the excitement
both here and abroad, and from every
center of Europe and America kilograms
OF inquiry are pouring in on Koch, Berg
man, Pfhul, and the other medical men
who are known to be engaged in treating
patients by the new method. koch's
Clinique in Albrechts strasse in the inn
perial sanitary institution, Reichsgesund
heisanit, where Corael and other kochists
are at work, are swamped with letters and
personal applications.
Many medical men, including a number
of English and American physicians. have
been studying the process under DIR. Levy
i'm the small wards of a private hospital at
No 26 Prenselaur strassse, where Pro-
lessor Koch first achieved striking results
with small means. In order to meet the
pressure of cases, another hospital is
about to be established In Alexander plaza,
where the Hotel Germania is being trans
formed into wards having $50 beds for
consumptives. DIR. Pfhul reports a strik-
inlly rapid cure of lung tuberculosis. The
patient was a man, aged A. years. He had
been i'll for six years, and his case was ap-
parently hopeless.
The secret of the composition of the
lymph has been communicated to several
ntimates of Prof Koch here, and also TO
Prof Nothnagle of the Vienna university
Prof Nothnagle. addressing the students
in the university, said: 1--WE face one Of the
greatest intellectual achievements in the
province of medicine for centuries past.
Prof koch's discovery has far wider
scope than Jenney's, and is, perhaps, the
grandest feat in the history Of our science
What inspires one with admiration is not
so much the actual discovery, as the
method of meteorological researche;
which must serve as the basis of all future
discoveries in that line. The present
moment Is among the most sublime that
humanity has known
The students shared the fervOr Of Prof
Nothnagel and cheered him to the echo.
Prof. Dilroth holds that koch's meth hod
places il beyond doubt that a remedy will
be found before long for cancer, which is
still the greatest mystery in medicine, as
experience indicates that carcinoma has
baccllic origin.
The only SkeptiCism and criticism Of
hoch's discovery come from French medi-
cal men. Prof Bronardel Doyen. of the
Paris medical faculty, is reported 10 have
written letter, in which he advises incre-
dulity regarding the efficacy Of the remedy
until Its nature is fully known and scien-
tile proof given OF its effectiveness.

News and Notes

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE case of Capt.
O'Shea against his wife for divorce, in
which Mr. Parnell is correspondent, came
up for hearing today. Neither Mr. PaInell
nor Mrs O'Shea was i'm court and they
were not represented by counsel. They
allowed the case to go by default.
In presenting his case Mr.. Clark, for the
plaintiff, said the husband was cruelty an
noyed by the defendant, but he Clark
would be able absolutely to disprOve every
possible suggestion against him. He
could show that the charge of connivance
was groundless, and that when O'Shea first
heard of the intimacy between his wife
and Parnell he challenged Parnell TO fight
duel on the continent That continuous
acts of adultery had been committed by
the respondent and correspondent would
be placed beyond doubt. Witnesses would
prove that while the respondent was visit
ing In Bedford Square she was visited by
Parnell, who went under the name OF
Smith. in another house he visited her as
Mr. Stewart, and on one occasion he es-
capped by balcony, TO avoid detection by
O'Shea.
The respondent and Mr. Parnell, Mr.
Clark maintained, had lived together at
East Bourne and Brockley. Mr.. Parnell
could not face the evidence He allowed
the judgment TO 90 by default, because he
could not 90 into the witness box. The
criminal law had terrOrS Tor some people
who for moral law cared nothing.
Capt O'Shea stood for parliament in 1880,
when introduced to Mr.. Parnell, who
dined with him and Mrs. O'Shea, Mrs.
Steele being one of the party. Nothing
excited Mr.. O'Shea's suspicious until 1881,
when Mr.. Parnel visited the respondent
at Ethan.
His annoyance over Mr.. Parnell's ap-
proaches to his wife led Captain O'Shea to
send a challenge to Mr.. Parnell. Mrs.
Steele saw Mr. Parnell, who as
sured him that there was no
ground for jealousy. O'Shea wrote
TO Parnell and the latter replied,
and answered with the assurance he had
given Mrs Steele. Afterwards the affect
iOnate relation between O'Shea and his
wife continued. and Parnell was again in
vited TO Ethan in 1882 After Parnell had
been released from Kilmainham Jail, he
almost habitually slept there. Parnell
would drive from Ethan, and Mrs. O'Shea
would 90 down stairs to meet him. Some
times she slept away from the house when
Parnell was not there Captain O'Shea
wrote to his wife, declining TO vacate his
seat in parliament.

done in London in much graver emer-
geDcy. That it has been done thoroughly;
and that the danger of the situation is
passed, we have the assurance of the high
est authority, both in London and New
York. This feeling was not reflected in
our stock market, at least in the early
hours. There was a dearth of generally
available news of trustworthy character,
which was taken advantage Of promptly
by the gentlemen who, in this time of
difficulty, manufactured evil reports 1t
may be said, however, that by Monday
morning much clearer view of the situa-

the financial system of the world Is severe,
it will be seen that all actual danger has

NOTES OF TIE DAY.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The stock market
this morning was again the scene of wild
excitement and positive panic existed in
all portions of the list, stocks being
thrown over in the most reckless manner
and the losses in the first hours trading
exceeding anything since the present de-
cline began. There was rather firm
feeling at the opening, but the rumOrs
and private cables which were shown,
stating that the Barings were in financial
difficulties and that heavy liquidation
must come, started the ball rolling imme-
diately, and every one was trying 10 sell
out his holdings without regard TO the
loss or gain. The dealings were simply
enormous, and the rapidity with which
quotations melted away was something
unprecedented, there being 70 halt in the
downward movement.
THE Barring TROUBLE.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15-Private cables re-
ceived before the opening of the Stock Ex-
change, announcing the troubles Of Barring
Bros q Co, and stating that the Bank OF
England, thu ROthschilds AMI other bank
ers, had taken up accounts Of Barring
Bros, q Co, amounting TO Al5,OO,OJ0,
created aprofOund sensation.
At II a. N. a semi-panic prevailed.

brokers were dismayed at the prospect.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 15.-So far, nc
more deaths have resulted from the coils

Florence, Pa, yesterday morning. All
but three or four of the injured are resting

their recovery. The investigation by the

ter appears to have been the result of un.
fortunate circumstances, rather than from
an error of the management or the care
