BLESSINGS SUIT CONTINUED.

The trial Of the suit of John Blessing
against the city for $4,000 for injuries
received at Charles street bridge in 1892,
which was begun Saturday, was contin-
ued today:
John BLESSING, the plaintiff, took the
witness stand, and testified that he had
lived i'm this city, and testified that about
20 minutes OF seven O'Clock Oh the even
ing OF November IL, 1892, he went down
Charles street from his home on Branch
avenue to buy some working clothes, and
when at the bridge being built over the
New York, New Haven & Hartford tracks
he saw some teams coming toward him.
In order to get out of the way of the
teams he stepped On one OF the walls of
the bridge, and there being no rails or
lights, he fell distance of several feet,
breaking both his legs, hurting his
eyes, and receiving other injuries that
for number of months incapacitated
him for labor.
Mr.. Blessing said he worked at the time
at the Silver Spring Beachery and re-
ceived 50 a week. He was sharply cross
examined by Assistant City Solicitor Ba-
ker, and admitted that he knew the
bridge was in process of construction at
the time, and that he was now able to
earn 81. 90 week.

Last weeks report that J. Z. Morgan

attempt which the Vanderbilts made

FIRST VOLUNTEER COMMANDER.

General JOHN NJ. ScHoFIELD retired
General NELSON A. MILES, who succeeds
him, is more widely known by name and
reputation, and comes nearer to being
popular military idol than any of our sol
diers since war times.
II so happens that General MILES is the
ranking major general, so that his selec-
tion to the chief command is strictly in
accord with seniority claims, as well as
military prestige General MILES ia, how
ever, the first soldier to hold this high
position, who enlisted as a volunteer.
Citizen soldiers have won distinction in
high ranks in our army, but an unbrok-
en- line OF West Pointers has filled the
chief Office.
1t is evident enough that General MILES
was born to be a soldier, even il his career
did begin as clerk in Boston retail
crockery shop. He was born on Massa-
chusetts farm, and was barely 21 years OF
age when he enlisted. He was shot sew
eral times, given up to die once, and to-
day limps from a wound in the foot re-
ceived in his first engagement. AS COM
mander-iu-chief of our army he will have
nine years to serve before the retiring age.
All New England may justly feel pride
with Massachusetts in this fine soldier.

AoA
rhe SON of an humble tanner, q man OF
peculiar simplicity OF life, a paralytic for
q quarter OF century, LOUIS PAsTEUR
won a famous name, and an assured po-
sition in chemistry and biology. CHAR
COT, himself, one OF the greatest scient-
lists the world has produced, has said;
"If II were still the usage TO bestow upon
an age the name of single man, ours
might Justly be called the age OF PAS
TEUR' 4" The tribute is none the less
notable by coming from a brother scient-
list.
His work has grown out OF one great
discovery. 1t was, until he came, the be-
lief OF science that organic decomposition
decay was the result of purely chemi-
cal action. He proved that there is moth
ing chemical about 1t; that decay is mere
ly the generation of destructive life-of
microbes. PAsrEUR might almost be
spoken OF as the inventor o: the microbe.
He proved that there constantly exists in
the air certain forms of life which, If
they come in contact with field sympa-
thetic to their growth, thrive and multi
ply incredibly, consuming the substance
their own life. He found that decay was
the work OF these germs. Thus originat-
ed germinology-b -bacteriology. Bacter-
iology is the basis OF almost every great
medico-scientifc discovery which has
been made since he discovered ii. The
science o. curing and the science OF pre-
venting disease have advanced by leaps
and bounds since this avenue was found.
That is the history of his great gifts to
humanity. This is the order in which
they are given:
His first work was turned to the pro-
lection OF the animal kingdom. He
wiped out epidemic carbuncle from the
stables of the world, and destroyed hen
cholera, disease whose ravages had been
severe and irremediable.
Next came the food supply. His stud
les of the diseases of wine, beer and vine
gar have entirely robbed these three i'm
portant products of their danger as the
originators and communicstors of disease.
When he advanced to work upon the
human system, he amazed the whole
world by his destruction OF such diseases
as he attacked. His methods Of isolation
and disinfection today protect the cities.
of the earth from contagious and infec-
tious diseases. and it is expectead will,
when fully developed, make epidemics
impossible. His aseptic and antiseptic
treat ments have cleared hospitals of the
dreadful sores-prurient infection, septi-
cimia, erysipelas-which formerly SO Of
ten followed the surgeons knife and null
lifted its skill. In lying-in hospitals es-
pecislly have his discoveries worked a rev.
olution by rendering puerperal infection
impossible. 1t is estimated that $4,000
mothers lives have been saved through
this method.
In the eyes OF the world, PAsTEUR's
greatest work has been the discovery of
a cure for hydrophobia, which has prob
ably cured thousands, despite cavil and
criticism and glaring exceptions. His
crowned with honor. He was in his 73d
year.
