New York Opinions.

New YORK, November i6.-D DR.. Loo
mis-. the eminent lung specialist of this
city. was asked to-day for his opinion
regarding DR.. Koch'S discoveries. lie
said;
Every physician in New York is read
ing the European dispatches with the
greatest interest. On this side Of the
ocean we have followed Prof. Koch'S
investigations with confidence in him
as a scientific man, and his an
nOuncement of progress is believed
10 be absolutely trustworthy and full OF
hope for sufferers from tuberculcus dis
eases. IL INST be remembered that
Prof. Koch really claims nothing. He
has demonstrated the absolute cure Of
external tuberculosis; beyond this moth
ing. Whether consumption can be
cured even in its milder forms is yet un-
certain: and YOU NAV see from the pub
liShed dispatches that Prof. Koch Is
very moderate in whatever he says on
this subject. At best We can only be
hopeful.
Here In America we shall know some
thing ia 4 month. BY that time We
shall have received some Of the inocu-
lating fluid and have been able TO make
tests for ourselves. The medical fac
ulty are awaiting these experiments
with interest, and until they can be
made final, judgment must be suspend
ed. And yet, even then a final judg-
ment may not be possible. IL may re-
quire six months or year to reach any
definite conclusion aS to what Prof.
Koch has accomplished. You know sci
ence in this country has reached a posi-
tion where it can speak for itself when

panic he had the passengers leave the
ear two by two by the front door and

prompt action, was accompanied by 10

A Double Tragedy.

CANTON, Ills, November l6.-The
most horrible tragedy in the annals OF
Fulton county. was enacted this morn
ing at Utica, village ten miles south
east of Canton. Philip Il. Smith, a
farmer, GO years of age, had for some
time been jealous of his wife, aged sc
years. Mrs. Smith had been absent
from home for some time attending a
sick daughter-in-law. On her return
this morning Smith at once began q
quarrel, and throwing her on the floor
severely choked her. Mrs. Smith
got away from him and ran
into the yard. Smith seized
Winchester rifle and followed her, FIR
ing four shots into her body. Wher
she fell Smith went back into the house,
exchanged the rife for revolver, and
returned to the side of his wife's body.
Ascertaining that she was dead, he laid
down by her side, placed the muzzle OF
the revolver in his mouth and blew out
his brains. Smith was known as
desperate character for years, no less
than four men having been killed by

The assailant repeated the attack,
dealing six more blows on the head OF
his victim. At this juncturc, Mrs.
Stone appeared from another room.
Pclbeem turned upon her. struck
her five times with the hatchct and
would doubtless have killed her but for
the fact that her husband rallied and
seized him by the throat, keeping him
under subsection until neighbors, who
had been aroused by the screams Of
the woman and two small children, ar
rived upon the scene. Palbeem fled,

A TRAIN ROBBERY
Where Messenger Has Two Stories-The
Eobbcr u Hit.

AUGUSTA, GA, November l6.-Last
Sunday both night trains on the Georgia
road between Augusta and Atlanta
were robbed of express matter. Last
nights train here for Atlanta met with
the same fate. Above Messina man
entered and commanded the messenger
to open the safe. There are two stories
OF the robbery. One is that mes
senger Corput refused to comply, at
the same time drawing his revolver,
wherein pom the robbcr fired, the ball
penetrating his hat, but not touching
the messenger, who returned the shot.
Corput thinks he hit the robber, as
there are spotso of blood on the car floor.
Detectives and express officials visited
the scene but strange to say, can lind
no evidence Of where man jumped
from the train, If he left it at all.
Corput reached Atlanta this morning
and his story cannot be positively
known here. Another account OF the
affair is that the robber covered the
messenger with pistol and commanded
him to open the safe and hand out the
money, which Corput proceeded to do
Quickly drawing his pistol while ap
parently obeying the robber, he reached
around TO his left side and fired through
his coat hitting the man, who In turn
fired, sending ball through the mes
scnger's hat, and fled.

New York Medical Men Express Them-
selves Cautiously.
New YORK, November r16.-Somewhat
over a year ago mild thrill Of excite
ment rippled through the medical pro-
fession in all parts of the world at the
announcement that French physician
had discovered liquid which possessed
some of the wonderful powers common
ly ascribed to the wonderful elixir of
life. To-day the physicians OF the world
are agitated by similarly startling an
nouncement, and their excitement is all
the greater for unbounded admiration
for and great confidence in
the man from whom it comes.
DR.. Robert Koch, the director OF the
Imperial Hygienic Institute at Berlin,
the discoverer af the germs which cause
tuberculosis and those which cause
Asiatic cholera, two OF the greatest
discoveries in medical science OF the
nineteenth century and the foremost
bacterologist announces that he has
found cure for tuberculosis in its in
cipient stage. That is all he has said,
and physicians know more about it,,
vet there is prevailing impression
among them that the world is on the eve
of learning one of the greatest secrets
which nature has concealed from man.
A Dispatch reporter sought TO obtain
to-day from some of the leading ply
sicians in this city their opinions of DR..
Koch's discovery The answer in every
case was that it was too early as yet To
express an opinion about it, as no one
knows what the discovery is. DR..
Fordyce Barker based his faith In the
discovery on his great confidence in DR..
Koch. He said:
His character and reputation are
such that every physician pays atten-
ton TO what he says. but he has not car
ried his experiments far enough him
self To arrive 1T any satisfactory result.
There are, however, the most
sanguine expectations throughout
the professional world OF
revolution in the treatment OF conSump'
tlon. DR.. Koch'S experiments have not
been numerous enough to settle the
question OF how practicable his discov'
ery will be. When tuberculosis in it:
advanced stage and tissue has been de-
ftroyed by disease, such remedy Will
probably not reconstruct II, but IN the
incipient stage there may be very great
results. / am very hopeful that DR.
Koch has discovered means to arrest
the early growth of the bacilli. Physi
clans are entirely in the dark as to the
composition of the substance he EN-
ploys, and the article in the Dcdch'
Medizinische IVochenschrift throws very
little light on the subject"

suit to Divide Vanderbilt Money.

concerning the disposition of 100000 oi
the estate. valued at several millions,
left by Mrs. Phoebe Jane Cross, the
daughter of the late Commodore Cor
nelius Vanderbilt. The defense holds
that the will should be divided and
each heir come into possession OF
his share of the vast estate. Were II
not that one of the daughters OF the de-
ceased is the mother Of four minor
children who come in for a share of the
property of their grandmother, the
estate would have been divided long
ago. A good many thousands OF dollars
will have. been spent before the estate
is settled according to the laws OF the

ii. Smith, the junior partner in the
brokerage firm OF Mills, Robson Il
Smith, at No. % Broadway, is a prisoner
at police heanquarters, charged with
over seventy forgeries, aggregating
S350,000. Smith has acknowledged his
guilt TO Inspector Byrnes, and has
turned over all his property 10 w. A.
Watson for the benefit OF his creditors.
The discovery Of the forgeries. which
cover a period of six years, was ac-
cldentally made on Saturday morn
Mg by stock clerk in the employ
fesson Smith says he used the money
obtained by his forgeries TO reimburse
customers Of the firm who had lost
money on his suggestions. Although
the case is not yet complete, Inspector
Byrnes, aware of the excited condition
OF the money market, determined TO
make public the real facts OF the ease.
The loss resulting from Smiths mis-
doings will fall upon the firm OF Mills.
Robson Il Smith, which has been In
existence since 1872, and which has been
held in the highest repute. About six
years ago Smith became embarrassed,
and to save himself adopted the scheme
which has led TO his downfall. His
plan was simple. lie would buy seven,
eight or nine shares OF first class stock
and by adding n cipher on the letter
"i" raise the order TO seventy,
eighty or ninety shares. These
he deposited with the firm rs
private account, and thus make his
partners responsible. The shares IN the
course OF time hypotheticated with the
Union Trust Company, United States
Trust Company, Central Trust Com
pany, Chemical Bank, Phoenix Bank.
Mechanics Bank, Fourth National Bank.
Nashua Bank, of Brooklyn, and Russell
Sage until the amounts secured reached
between 100000 aud 100000 In each
case. Smiths forgerieS might have
continued indefinitely II stock clerk W.
A. Watson had not discovered that the
figures in certificate turned In by
Smith on Saturday had been raised.
Smith is prominent church man and
member OF several clubs. Knowing that
exposure was inevitable he sent his res
ignation to all the clubs previous To his
arrest. Smiths crime is forgery In the
first degree, and as he has confessed his
guilt, he cannot escape long term Of
imprisonment. He is - years old. and
a childless widower. The net loss will
be s27O,OOO. Smith was arraigned at
the jefferson Market Police Court this
morning and was rcmandcd.
