Ludlow Street Jail Manage.

Ludlow Street jail, in New York
city, has been famous for years the
country yer as the place in which
such men as Tweed, Ward and Ives
underwent confinement while waiting
trial and sentence. 1t has come
prominently into notice again
through the charges of New York
paper, which recently secured the in.
generation of one of it's reporters in
Disguise. The reporter found that
money was as potent in a prison as
in q store. He made merry within
the walls, and went out when he
chose-that is on payment to his

their absence from the jail. Ofcourse,
the officials may be able to explain
everything, but at present there is a

Prominent Eastern professors. who
hoid TO the theory that la gr ppe is pro-
duced by microbes, say the most active
OF all microbes yet discovered is la
grippe bacteria, it being almost impos-
sIble for the eye to follow their move
ments even with the aid of a powerful
microscope which magnifies them to
1,5QO times their original size.
From the marvellous activity which
they show in their movements one can
readily Imagine the destruction they
can cause when once shey get i'm the

Dail1ed Ill all their efforts to gain any
definite knowledge on this subject.
When seen by the aid of microscope
OF 5000 diameters only faint outline of
their various forms can be discerned.
The covering or coat of the bacteria, so
lar as can be ascertained, is a gelatinouS
matter nearly transparent.
The powerful lights required to iiiu-
inmate the disc on which the semi
transparent germs are shown some
times prevent their being seen, the rays
OF light being much coarSer than the
microbes themselves. There are two
special recognized forms of poisons.
gases and flu DIS: both are known to be
filled with these germs. and Large num-

which manage to impact themselves in
the system. 1t is becoming to be gener-

due to fermentation, and tina the pres

BY carefully comparing the iliustra-

bear very close resemblance to each
other. This fact alone, so medical men
say, should prompt everybody affected

This Time in a Damage Case in
the Federal Court.
The jury in the case of John Graham
against The Burlington, Cedar Rapids
d Northern Railway Company rendered
verdict yesterday for 81, 600 in favor of
Graham. The hearing occupied over
week. this being its third trial. The
suit was for damages caused in a col
lision at marlborough, To-, in 1856. The
case was ably contested by Judge
Thomas Wilson, of Winona. for the
plaintiff, and John a. Lovely, attorney
for the railroad company. both of whom
made eloquent and able addresses to
the jury at the close of the
case. Several doctors were put OH
the stand as expert witnesses
by the defense to show that the spinal
affection and loss of health by Graham
did not result from the shock received
in the collision, but were the outgrowth
of rheumatism. Theverdict is considered
10y diSintereSted persons who heard the
trial to be just one. and is an evidence
of the ability with which the trial of
the case was conducted 10y Judge VIII
son, when it is known that at the first
trial the defendant won the case, and at
the second trial the jury failed to agree.
The former trials were conducted by
other attorneys on behalf of Graham, in
place of Judge Wilson.
