And Thus Paved the Way to His
Present Official Position.

When the Kings County Medical So
eiety meets next Tuesday, unless some
thing unforeseen happens, there will be
a lively row. Resolutions will be intro
duced, calling for the resignation of DR..
z. Taylor Emery. Health Commissioner
of Brooklyn. from the Society.
Dr. Emery, of course, will not resign
without making a hard fight, and If his
adyersaries succeed in ousting him,
there will be, it is predicted, a whole
sale exodus of his friends from the
organization.
II DR.. Emery and his friends succeed
in defeating tho resolutions, then about
fifty designations will be offered by
physicians opposed to his methods.

day, and nearly every one of the 400
members of the Society are talk

for the meeting time to come around.
The cause of the trouble is DR.. EN-
sry's alleged secret method OF creating
q visiting staff of physicians to the
Kings County Hospital, composed of
forty of his friends. The appointments,
1t is said, were made against the
wishes OF the majority OF the members
of the Medical Society.

back to 1889. when DR.. Paul kretzseh,

the Charities Commissioners, of visit

CARS IN THE POST-0FFlCE.
BrookIyns Postmaster to Have the
Trolley in the Building.

Postmaster Sullivan. Of Brooklyn,
seems determined to give the people OF
that city as efficient mail service as pos
sible. Not long ago he completed ar
rangements with the trolley lines by
which a certain number of cars daily
were to be used for carrying the mails.
1t Is now his intention to place the mail
pouches in these cars from within the
Post-office Building on washington
street.
The work Of laying a switch from the
trolley tracks on Adams street through
the Post-Office yard to the ground floor
OF the structure, was begun to-day. Ii
is expected that the switch will be COM
pleted tomorrow, after which date cars
will be run into the Post-Office. and there
loaded with mail packages.
This arrangement not only does away
with the necessity Of carting mall matter
to the cars, but almost absolutely insures
the packages from loss. while it simpli-
fes the work of packing them In the
cars for speedy distribution along the
route.
