the New York Herald. Charles Muller and
his wife. Johanna, who died of trichinoss
in the same hospital early in May, ate meat
from Union Market, at Fast Houston street
and avenue d. Tlaskal was poisoned by
meat he obtained at Hackensack, n. j.
Tlaskal was Bohemian. unmarried and 81
years old. For two weeks he worked In
brick-yard al Hackensack. He became sick
there and returned TO Zaveta's tenement
rooms. He said that he had been badly fed
in the boarding house kept by the foreman
of the brick-yard. About all that he was
given to eat was Frankfurter sausage.
Tlaskal had no appetite for meat after he
returned to ZaYeta's.
All the features of the dread disease were
plainly marked in the patient. He suffered
the same terrible agUnies endured by the
Mullers. As soon as the dreadful discovery
was made DR.. Manning asked Tlaskal
where he obtained the diseased meat. The
deadly auimalcuia were in the DOOR fellows
brain, aud he could not answer. He fingered
week longer in frightful agony, a green
pallor gradually spreading over his face as
the trchln& cOursed through his body. He
gasped and rolled upon his cot In wild de-
lirium, and al one stage had to be held
down. Death came TO his relief at a late
hour on Thursday night. DrS. Manning

The attendance of delegates at the meet
ing of the Council Of Federated Trades
was unusually large. owing to the fact that
the semi-annual election of officers was
held. The interest in the choice of a new
directory was unusually active, owing to the
numerous tits that have taken place be-
tween the conservative and the radical ele-
ments since the previous election.
A charter was granted to the recently or
ganized PAYERS Union, and the following
named delegates presented certificates of
election and were seated: P. f. c. O'Brien,

At the conclusion of the wrestling, PTesi-

Constitution and bylaws. 1t was the wish
of the Directors, said he, that every member
Of the club have share in putting up the
new club building, and he appealed TO the
members who had subscribed for bonds to
return their orders and take up the bonds
as quickly as possible. Mr.. Harrison then
submitted the new bylaws, which the
Directors and committee had been consider

The most important changes were the re-
quirements that intending members should
be white males and nOn-profeSsional ath-

for quorum from 90 to 100 and the estab-

Der who We're anxious to read, but could
not do so for the want of eyeglasses or
spectacles. The Daughters made note Of

The Daughters became very much inter-

could procure work and make his living if
he had an artificial leg The Daughters
unanimously agreed that he should have the
desired leg
