Returnto New York Of William
Degan, the Consumptive .
Sent TO Berlin.
He Has No Faith in the Medicine, but
Continues To Take 1t in This
Country.
Story of Snub at the National
Capital---News In
General.

New YORK, Jan. 27.-Willian DeRan,
the first native American consumptiye
sent 10 Berlin to be treated by Prof.
Koch, has returned and re-entered ST
Francis hospital, at which institution he
was formerly patient, for continu-
alton of the lymph inoculatlons
Degan's visit to Berlin has become In
terestlng TO the public from the fact that
he was considered Americas representa-
tive patient and was believed to be n fair
subject for proving the efficacy of Prof.
Koch's world-famed discovery. Whether
the results have sustained this belief or
not Is still an open question.
Although originally man or strong,
powerful build, and now scarcely 80
years old he appears almost Dc sub
iect for the coroner. If the lymph ex-
perimenters wanted genuine consunlr
tive, surely Degan must have filed the
BILL Degah says OF MS treatment:
when was admitted to the hospital
they watched me carefully for day or
two, taking my pulse and examining me,
etc. On the second day they gave me
the first injection OF the lymph, the dose
consisting of one milligramme. They
said my case was very bad one, but
they would do the best they could for
me.
After the first Injection they used TO
give me from two TO three mllligrammes
nearly every day. | was I'm the hospital

always given In the morning about 6:l5
or $3.50 o'clock, and they used TO look FOR
q fever about 3 o'clock In the afternoon.
Sometimes the fever would come and
sometimes it wouldn't.
After the first injection was given

days the pain moved around into my

STORY OF a SNUB.


How Mrs. Harrison Got Even with mn OF"
Tending massachusetts Statesman.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-There Ia lit
tie story whose moral would seem TO DC
that IL Is q very dangerous thing TO Of
fend senators wives. 1t seems that
Massachusetts statesman, who is well
known I'm Washington, and VINO passes
much of his time In this city, would have
had far more pleasant position abroad
IL his wife had not offended Mrs. Harri-
son when the latter's husband was sena-
tor from Indiana. IL seems that the wiie
Of the Massachusetts, statesman gave an
afternoon reception, and among the call
ers were Mrs. Harrison and three other
ladies, who were also In the senatorlal
circle. The hostess had just greeted
them, when young attache OF some un'
~4Hsapzs8ant legation entered. The host
ess, al unmindful Of official etiquette,
promptly deserted the senatorial circle,
aud greeting the young foreigner, hur'
ried him back To the tea table, leaving
her other guests for some time. AS they
waited In vain for any further recognl'
tIon they held short Indignation meet
ing aud left the house more In anger
than In sorrow.
The sequel of this incident came wheT
| Mr.. Harrison became President Harri'
son and the Massachusetts statesman
applied for the Engllsh mission. Hi
backing" was magnificent, and it looked
for a time as though be would get
| frst-class diplomatic position. Mrs
| Harrison heard OF the matter and wen
Indignantly To her husband 10 deman'
that the Massachusetts, man should go
nothing at all, or II he got anything b
should get an appointment 10 one Of th
least important missions In the gift O
the state department. Whether her In
fuence brought about that result, 1t !
certain that the Massachusetts, man di
not get second rate appointment, an
lt In also certain that when. MIR. and MR.
H called at the white house 10 pa
their respects before their departure
tho foreign mission, they were distincti
and emphatically snubbed by Mrs. Ha
| rfsOn.

Iowa.
DIES MONIES, Jan. 27.-Two more men
were arrested Sunday night charged
with being members of the gang OF coun-
terfeiters nnearthed In this city Satur-
day. When the police at that time ar
rested Matt Merritt, his wife and VIII
lam Frow, having found at their resi-
dence ali of q counterfelt's parapher-
MALTA, together with a considerable sum
Of counterfeit money, Ii was supposed
they had all who were implicated, but
later developments show that they were
only the rinRleaders of an organized
band who have been working all over
Iowa. Their speciality was the manu-
facture OF quarter and half dollars, and
they were making very good article OF
money. The money found at tho resi-
dence In this city was great deal bet
ter, In the opinion Of experts, than the
average counterfeit. The arrested par
ties will be given q hearing before
United States Commissioner Jordan this
afternoon ut o'clock. The officials are
satisfied this gang, when they get them
all under cover, will prove TO be the best
catch OF the season.

Inflicted Cruel Treatment
BUCHAREST. Jan. 27.-Dlspatches re-
ceived from Kustendji state that head
less corpse had been found in the bath
room OF the Hotel Carol at that place.
The bath room, 1t appears, Is situated
In the basement OF the hotel, and
major belonging TO the Roumanian
army, who resided In the building, was
In the habit OF using 1t. Sunday the
majors disappearanc was noticed, and
upon being searched his headless body
was found Ia the bath. The orderlies
who were detailed as the majors body
servants were arrested to-day on sus-
picion OF having murdered the officer.
Shortly after being taken into custody
the orderlIes confessed, and said that
they had buried the dead mans head in
the sand not far from the hotel. Re-
venge for Ill-treatment received by the
orderlies at the hands Of the major Is
supposed TO be the cause OF the murder.

IMPURE WATER.
It La Believed to ne the Cause Of Typhoid
Fever aa Albany.


ALBANY. N. ", Jan. 27.-Much un-
easlness Is felt here over the prevalence
OF typhoid fever. There are eighty
cases In the city proper, twelve Of which
were reported Saturday, and many
deaths have already occurred from this
cause. The fever Ia of yirulent type
In most of the cases. The alarm, how
ever, Ii not because of either the mum
Der of tho cases or their virulency, but
on account of their location. Only two
OF the patients reside east OF Pearl
street, where more than one-tifth Of the
cIty's 100, 900 Inhabitants have homes.
All the others are In the district west OF
Pearl street. Investigation puts the
drainage factor out OF the question and
the only other probable cause OF the
fever Is the water supply. All
that part of the city west of Pearl
street uses Hudson river water, east OF
Pearl street being supplied from the
new reservoir built by the special water
commission and filed with water col
lected far beyond the city limits The
water supply question has been u ltly
discussed here, but this outbreak OF
deadly fever, plainly attributable 10 the
use of the river water, practically settles
H. The efforts OF the old commission 10
force another pumping station on the
Nity will be fought to final defeat dur
hR the present year. They have as
erted that the 8, 900, 900 gallons OF sew
rage which Troy empties into the river
Mally but six miles above Albany, TO
shich must be added as much more from
Ather cities and towns on the upper Hud
Xon, is eliminated by natural puritica'
lion before Albany is reached. The
Ftresent outbreak OF fever seems to re-
8ute this statement and to prove that tho
@xater Is absolutely unfit for drinking

T6e Northern paeAn0's @SosOoo Loss AT
Rralnsrd-Ineendlaris
BRAIsRRD, Jan. 27.-People in this
city are greatly excited by another fire,
which In all respects confirms the sus-
picIon that some incendiary is following
out his hellish bent to destroy property
At an early hour yesterday morning one
of the Northern Paciic car shops, In
their extensive works on the east side,
was suddenly wrapped In flames, appar-
entity FROM one end 10 the other. This
Is o building warmed by stoves, but none
were kept burning over Sunday and
there was supposed 70 be no fire In them.
The shop being Of wood and having for
years past been used as a paint shop,
was rapidly destroyed, together with all
the contents. The loss will reach siO,0
20 $50, 200. insured under the com
panIes blanket insurance. The loss,
however, is y very serious one to the
workmen employed In the yard, who
were 81 work on cars. They had their
too.s stored In the building. IL Is known
that some eight or ten coaches on the
stocks, I'm various stages OF repair, were
lost.
The shop destroyed was about the last
remaining one of the original shops built
by the company under the Jay Cook
Haanagament- The building stood very
central to the company's main works,
but all the newer buildings are OF fire
proof construction and arc uninJured.
IL Ii the understanding here that the
company must Immediately rebuild, 50
great Is the pressure OF work; In fact q
large new building had been expected
this year, and the present loss greatly
increases the necessity for IL. The en-
ployes burned out will not be thrown out
of employment, but will be used else
| where about the works.
