The Bureau of Health Calling Down Physi-
clans Who Fail to Report Infectious
Diseases Promptly Universal Preva-
lence of Diphtheria This Fall
Suit was entered yesterday by Superin-
tendent Baker, of the Bureau of Health,
against two physicians, who are charged
with failing to report cases of contagious
diseases. The information was made before
Alderman Gripp, and the physicians are
DR.. S. W. Dinsmore, of 60 Main street,
Sharpsburg; and DR.. W. d. King, of 326
Fifth avenue.
Chief Clerk McKelvey, of the Bureau of
Health, in speaking of the suits. said they
had been entered under an act OF Assembly OF
1883 which imposes a fine OF 20 In all
Is accused of not reporting at the
proper time was one of diphtheria, at 499
Fifth avenue. Chief Clerk McKelvey said that
this patient Edith Hirt, took sick last Thurs
day, and died on Sunday, but the physicians
did not report the case until yesterday. In this
case, as soon as it was reported, an inspector
sent to the house, went SO far as to destroy all
the bedding and clothing belonging to the girl.
DR.. Dinsmore is also accused of not report
ING diphtheria case. His patient was child
of man named Carr, who resides on Butler
street, in the Eighteenth ward.
Chief Clerk McKelvey says that the number
of cases of diphtheria this fall Is much larger
than that of last fall. During the past week
there have been 3S cases reported. The dis
ease does not seem to be confined to any par
ticuiar section of the city. Notwithstanding
the number of cases reported is very large, Mr..
McKelvey says he thinks it would be much
larger if every case was reported. He said:
Frequently we hear of a case where there was
only slight attack. which had not been re-
ported. For this reason we intend to be more
strict about the matter, and to insist that every
case of an infectious disease he reported at
where a nlySiclan
neglects to report such cases we will enter suit
against him."

They Have Not Commenced to Consider the
Eight-HOur Movement.
The Carpenters Council held meeting at
537 Smithfield street last night. 1t was ex-

Exchange would be acted upon III some man.
ner, but resolution to take it up for discussion
was laid on the table.
Agent Irwin said after the meeting adjourned
that the council would not do anything for the
present. Said he: 1.-THE builders and con-
tractors acted on the supposition that because
the painters are considering the ma tier of ask
ing for shorter hours and more pay; that the
men in all branches of the building business
were doing the same. The matter of asking
TOR eight hours will not be considered by our
people until after the first of the year. and
am not prepared to say whether they will ask
for eight hours or not.
I'm the meantime, however, conference
committee which has already been appointed
representing our council, and the Builders
Exchange will meet and discuss the situation.
The matter may be settled without any de-
mands from our men"

JEWELRY TO SPARE.
A Stranded Theatrical Company Appeals to

Ed Smith for Help-The b. & o. Accepts
Their Property as a Deposit for Tickets
to New York.
Like Solomon in all his glory, Division
Passenger Agent Smith, of the Baltimore
and Ohio road, was gorgeously bedecked
yesterday. He carried watch or two in
every vest pocket, and he had rings, studs
and other golden jewelry to spare. His
place of business had been turned into pawn
shop, and as he carelessly played with big
diamond Mr.. Smith sighed as he thought that
he might soon have TO give up his suddenly &C.
Quired treasures. In rear room were four
large trunks loaded down with all sorts of
show paraphernaia.
A stranded opera company told the story.
The poor girls were left without a cent. and the
long line of railroad ties from Pitttsburg to
New York made their hearts sink. They had
property. jewelry and other trinkets they were
willing to deposit for tickets. but none of the
passenger men cared to run the risk of having
them redeemed. Finally they struck Ed
Smith, and his tender heart was touched with
their tale of woe First they opened the big
trunks to show him what they had, and an as
sortment of fine wigs was placed on table.
81 see. said one of the girls "Y ou have a
good beard, but if You ever shave it off and we
don't redeem the goods, no trouble to Slip one
on. See, and she placed the hiTsu' apparatus
against her face Then they pulled out silk
dresses and dress suits. and tenderly laid them
down before the astonished passenger man.
One trunk contained vases and other little
articles used for setting off stage. and after
they had gone over all their property, they
chimed in a lachrymose chorus. "Oh. Mr..
Smith! Won't you let us have the tickets for
the contents of the trunks"
This appeal was too much for the passenger
agent and he consented. Iu addition, they
loaded him down with jewelry, and this is the
reason why Ell Smith wore so many rings and
was well supplied with time pieces, yesterday.
q a
won't lose anything, if the girls fail to redeem
their property"
