Lorraine Hall with a large attendance. The
president and all the officers of the assoc

opened with prayer by Rev. B. F.. Morgan
A clinic was presented by n. v. Wick,
which attracted a great deal of attention.
The case was discussed by DIR. Russell. Of
Springfield. o., and DIR. H. Long, of this
city. 1t was that of a patient with a
broken back. The fracture occurred in
July last and resulted in paralysis of the
body below the seat of the injury. The
The leading surgeons present decided that
the remova of the fractured vertebra pre-
sented the only chance of a partial recov-
cry. Several papers were read and dis
cussed by the members. The meeting then
adjourned till afternoon.
AT 2 p. m. the president, DR.. a. p. Hauss,
of New Albany, delivered an address. His
subject was largely the representative ply
stefan of the future. He said: "The rep
resentative physician of the future will be
the middle-aged man who has had a lib
eral education and has the virtues which
make up the representative man. He must
have the natural business qualifications
that lead to success in any mercantile
pursuit. Inc young HldH lHde enters IHS

education and write his name A. NJ, M. D.,
but without natural business qualification
he is a failure. Ii is quality not quantity,

Earthquakes" He gave a very interesting
account of the history of many recorded
earthquakes and the wonderful and terri
flying effects of volcanic eruptions. After be-
viewing the various theories advanced by
many philosophers and showing their fall

of volcanoes and earthquakes to be the re-
suit of water coming in contact with the
subterranean fires and the generation OF
steam which, being confined, resulted in a
power of terrifying proportions. All in

and warmly received.

CITY'S CASES AT LAW
JUDGMENTS IN DAMAGE SUITS ARE
BECOMING ANNOYING.
Council Finance Committee Considers
the M~atter-COst of Compiling Orr
dinances-Taxing Gas Mains.

The finance committee of the Common
Council met in the city clerks office last
night and took action upon several ques-
tons that were presented 10 IL. City At
torney Scott was present to urge upon the
committee the needs of the department Of
law and an appropriation of 5000 was
made for the use of that department. The
city attorney presented TO the committee
several judgments that had been recovered
against the city in damage suits. Most of
the judgments are for small amounts and
several have been standing for some time,
and there is a likelihood of the persons
holding them taking steps to enforce col
lection thus making additional costs in the
cases which the city would be called upon
to pay If something is not done TO relieve
the obligation. A portion of the appropria-
ton is also to be used in the street car lit
igation in which the city is involved and for
which it has contracted Indebtedness.
The committee also resolved to ask the
Council to take steps to ascertain the cost
Of revising the city ordinances, which work
has been slowly in progress for several
years past. 1t is estimated that the cost
OF this revision will be about 5000, but the
mint which has 1t in charge has never
given any intimation Of what ii will ask
for its services and the finance committee
desires to have some definite
upon the question before they order the
work printed as prepared by the commit
tee.
The question of taxing gas mains within
the city will come before the committee at
its next meeting, and while none or the
members express themselves upon the Ques-
ton it is highly probable that they will
recommend the passage of an ordinance
requiring the gas companies to pay d GER
tain rate per foot for their mains. The
charter gives the city the right to levy
this tax and it is thought the
will take advantage of the power con-
ferred.
The committee on contracts and fran
chises also met in the city clerks office
and resolved TO report favorably upon the
request of Mummenhof x Co. for per-
mission to lay a switch across Alabama
street between Maryland ana the viaduct
to connect with the new commission house
which they are building on Maryland

There Is an abundance of the full power

the singers are fired with the meaning OF
the words which they are singing. There Is

warmth as Bruch has put into the short
work OF about eighteen minutes made IL
a fitting climax to the magnificent per-

with which the audience could go home nd
live IL over in days TO come.

lettes. and the wearers were the observed

Witnesses for the Prosecution De-
nounced by DIR. Meyers Attorney.

NEW YORK, May 16.-To-day lawyer
Brooke began his closing address to the
jury in the case of DIR. Henry Meyer. Mr..
Brooke declared the prosecution was not,
as ii appeared on the face, a public one,
but was really brought by the powerful
organization of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company. Mr.. Brooke devoted over two
hours to the testimony of Muller, alias
Turfel, alias Winners, the accomplish.
He attacked his story with scorn and tore
it into shreds. HE is a p~erjurer. bigamist.
a swindler, and a self-confessed liar and
jail bird" cried Mr.. Brooke. In conclu-
sion Mr.. Brooke said that the prosecution
were attempting TO prove a conspiracy TO
swindle, but the indictment charged MR.
der and the jury must acquit unless there
was positive evidence OF murder. He
called attention 10 the fact that the per-
init for the removal of the body was dated
June rs. whereas, the body was not moved
until July s. The Pinkertons could easily
have placed arsenic in the corpse ia the
interim.
