FELL AND LAWLOR
They Have No Love for
Each Other.
THE DOCTORS STATEMENT.
He Saws the Pious Gentleman
Is Vastly Mistaken,
OR HARSH WORDS TO THAT END.
The Outcome of the Death of Ap.
prentice Ayscough of the
Strathgryfe.
Or HARSH WORDS TO THAT END.

Quarantine Officer DR.. Lawlor does not
think much of the Rev. Mr.. Fell of the
Seamen's Institute, and the latter gentle
man is equally dissatis fed with DR.. Law
lor. The trouble is all over the death of
Apprentice Ayseough of the British ship
Strathgryfe. the details of which were
published 10 yesterdays CALL.
Hot words are being exchanged at long
range At the institute on Steuart stree,
there seems to be an atmosphere of war
against the doughty physician that cannot
be blown away very readily. On the other
hand, DR.. Lawor is after the Rev. Mr..
FelPs scalp, and is giving the institutions
representative The lie right and left. Mr..
Fell still sticks 10 his story and things are
getting exciting.
The officers of the Marine Hospital are
very reticent about the death and burial
OF young Ayscough. They refuse to have
anything to say On the subject.
What added the most fuel to the wrath
of DR.. Lawlor is said to have been the re-
marks passed by Mr. Fell at the funeral
of the sailor. He is said TO have muttered
something that has so angered Lawlor that
the latter has declared that he will bring
suit against Fell if lie could only secure
the necessary witnesses.
DR.. Lawlor was seen yesterday and VOL
unteered to make a statement of the case,
so far as his connection with it is con-
cerned. he denied that be had failed to
attend to the lad. He said:
ION the 18th of September l visited the
Strathgryfe. The boy was suffering from
an attack of grippe, so L prescribed
for him. l visited him every day from the
note how he got along.
''When l found that the patient was not
improving l procured an order from the
British Consul and removed the apprep-
tice to the Marine Hospital.
at was o'clock on the morning of the
22d when / noticed the signal from the
ship for me 10 come on board. This was
the day l secured the order and saw that
it was executed. At II o'clock the patient
entered he hospital building
'The Rev. Mr.. Fell wrote scandalous
letter to the British Consul, Mr.. Donohoe
attacking me anG charging lie with neglect
The Consul paid no attention to the COM
munlcatlOn, but summoned Captain Rit-
chic. for ii is the captain be has 10 deal
with in such matters. Ritchie explained
that the boy had been cared for and that [
had visited him regularly. He produced
his log to show this. l don't think Mr.
Donohoe Will heed anything Mr.. Fell
SAYS"
f'he doctor waxed indignantas he spoke,
and spoke of the pious gentleman's
hobby" This hobby is alleged to be
chronic desire to take fall, fguratively
and professionally, out of parties who
dealt out the gruesome pill to the sailors
on board ships that enter harbor.
Mr.. Fell was absent from the Spaman's
Institute all day, but his representative
spoke most discouragingly of the Ouaran-
tine Officers ability. Twas an outrage"
he said. clappng his hands to his forehead.
and looking TRANQUILITY up to heaven.
Twas a perfect shame, and l tell Won we
knew that there was something wrong
somewhere" The physician was then
severely tongue-lashed and blamed for the
whole sad result Of the poor boys sickness
1t seems that Mr.. Fell has carefully pre-
served the testimony of several witnesses
and intends being heard from later, pro-
vided that any direct attack is made upon
him by the agents OF the captain of the
Strathgryfe or others. He is loaded to
meet any advance of the enemy.
The Strathgryfe is getting ready for sea.
She will probably sail to-day If she can
secure full crew. Her signal for the
quarantine tug was raised in the after
noon, and Dr. Lawlor responded promptly.
HIS boat remained alongside for some
tims.
ne row over the stories circulated about
young Ayscough created great sen sation.
Tor IL has been pretty generally known for
many months that Rev. Mr.. Fell and the
doctor are not on very good terms
