DEFENDING Or. REID.

DR.. Klny0n Of Rock Island Gives His Theory
OF Air In the Blood.
A witness for the defense yester-
day in the trial of DR.. j. A. Reid in
the district court at Davenport,
charged with manslaughter in caus-
ing the death of Mrs. Carney through
improper practice. was DR.. C. B.
Kinyon. OF Rock Island. The doctor
was requested to give an expert opin-
ion in response to hypothetical ques-
tions as to the effect of air in the
blood. DR.. Kinyon's opinion was
that Mrs. Carney's death was due to
the injection of air into the blood.
and did not believe the autopsy
showed that any of the vital organs
were affected to such an extent as to
cause death. Attorney j. T. Ken.
worthy. of this city. read extensively
from medical works of death pro.
duced from air getting into the
blood. and then DR.. Kinyon was asked
to describe the symptoms of a per-
son whose death results from air in
the blood. The evidence by DR..
Kinyon, which followed. is given:
How Air in the Blood Kllls.
"The initial symptom of the ap.
proach of death would be struggle
for breath. passing almost instantly
into a rigid condition of the muscu.
lar system. As soon as the heart
failed to work and the proper amour,
of suitable blood we're not furnished
there would be cessation of the
transmission Of force. In general
terms, the condition might be termed
a convulsion."
"Could q woman afflicted with
septic@mia or blood poisoning suffi
cient to cause death be walking
about in apparently ordinary health
an hour before her deathP''
ssNo, SIR"
"Why not?"

describe them"
''There would be pain, then fever
and the patient would become stupid
practically unconscious or comatose
before death. unless the pain were 81
intense as to keep her aroused anc
awake. The tongue would be DRY
and would have a peculiar coating
and be red at the tip. The mos
characteristic feature, however
would be the peculiar odor OF tn,
breath. A person Of low vitality
might fade away and die within .
few hours. but person of previoul
good health would be bedridden, say
from three to ten days. Usually mo-
enough vitality would be left at tn,

This testimony is described a,
among the most important offered BY
the defense in the case.

council on First avenue track rights
will make its final report at the next
meeting of the city council, week
from Monday night. 1t 10 learned
that recommendation with reference
to the Burlington similar to those
submitted last Monday night will be
made. With such material before it
the council will be in position to
solve the situation and settle it for
all time. THE ARGUS has repeatedly
urged . conciliatory course with
reference to this matter. It main
tains that while the city should vim
dicate its course, set forth its rights
and have them understood and re-
spected, there is no occasion for any
action prejudicial to the railroad
interests of the city. and after assert
ing the city's position there ought to
be no difficulty in arriving At an un-
derstanding with the railroads. by
reason of which they in return for
receiving q legal title to such proper
privileges as they enjoy or may
need, are to cooperate with the city
in the substantial improvement Of
the river front. The railroads are
too closely identified with the
commercial and industrial inter-
ests Of the city to be treated in
considerably or driven from First
avenue without redress. Nor is
it the intention in this assumption to
convey the impressionH: that they
should have rights not legally
granted. Far from that. On the
contrary this long-vexed question
must be settled. The most reasona.
BILE idea would seem to be after ar
riving at just decision as to what
tracks are lawful and what are not.
to come to an understanding with
the roads in which concessions can
be made on both sides, protecting the
railroads on one hand and guarding
the city on the other and an ordi-
nance adopted giving to the
roads track privileges over which a
question Of doubt hangs, on condition
that all such tracks be now properly
laid or changed, and that the corpor-
ations join hands with the city in the
Improvements contemplated on First
avenue and which are so much
needed.
The Leyee Above All.
The plan of pavement on First
avenue and of the levee together
with the planking Of all tracks. it is
hoped by all citizens, will under no
circumstances be abandoned or de-
layed. Rock Island has railroad ad-
vantages superior to many other
cities in this part of the country and
it is seeking more, which it is be-
lieved now are sure to come. So,
therefore, the best policy would be.
while encouraging the new. to pro-
mote friendly feelings with the old.
and the strongest and best friend
ship can be advanced and cemented
by mutual interests. and mutual in
vestment in public improvements.
Let us all go in together for the
improvement of the levee.

This circumstance together with the
position Of the overcoat, which Henry

THE SEASON AT BROWNSVILLE.
Mr.. Hanna's Brother and Sister Have
ArrIvcd-sundry Notes.

Thomasville, Ga, Dec 22.-Hon. Mel
Hanna of Cleveland, o., brother of Mark
Hanna, has arrived in Thomasville with
his family. Mr.. Hanna has spent num-
Der of winters here and recently purchas-
ed a splendid country property of about
1900 acres near this city and which he will
make his winter home. Mr. and Mrs. j.
Wyman Jones of Englewood, N j., the
latter being a sister of Mr. Mark Hanna
have also arrived and are occupying
Elsoma, their palatial country home near
this city.
Winter tourists are pouring into Thorn
asville daily. The town bids fair to be
overrun before the season is over. 1t is
plain to all observers that this section is
annually becoming better known and
more popular with this class of travellers.
City politics is unusually quiet No al
dermanic candidates are out, and Capt. G.
p. Hansell and DR.. j. L. Culpepper. the
candidates for mayor, do not seem to be
pressing their claims with any great de-
gree of energy. They are both popular
and fully competent for the duties of the
office.
brownsville has lately been visited by
a flood of fakirs and small showmen.
These gentry seem to be prospecting and
this should be a pretty good Indication of
improved conditions.
The Christmas trade in Townsville is
proving highly satisfactory to the dealers
in Christmas goods.
improvements continue. j. l.. Finn has
just occupied his new nome on Broad

SMALLPOX FROM CUBA.
A Case Develops at Atlanta, But The
Family Now Isolated.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec 22-The board of
health to-day ordered the isolation of the
Cuban family which recently arrived here
from Havana, and brought along with
them smallpox germs. A negro girl, who
was employed in the family 20 help I'M
pack their trunks, was taken with a wen
defined case of smallpox, and the board
decided that it would be well to isolate
the whole family, so that there could be
no further danger from the disease. The
family is living at the far end of White
hall street, and a police guard has been
placed about the house TO keep the MEM
bers from coming into contact with other
people, until all danger is passed
The negro girl was removed to the city
smallpox hospital, while all the baggage
of the Cubans, which Is supposed to have
been infected, was to-day taken out to
the quarantine station and put in process
of fumigatioa. The servant girl is be-
leved to have received the germ of the
disease while unpacking the trunks which
came around by New York and were not
fumigated by the health officers. The Gu
bans themselves came by Tampa and di-
rect TO Atlanta, and they were properly
quarantined. The board of health does
not have any fears Of a spread of the con-
tagtOn.

of his series of fifty lectures. Upon being
asked what he thought Of the Cuban stu

busy that I have had no time to study
that or any other question
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 22.-Hon. William J.
Bryan arrived here a II o'clock tonight.
An immense crowd was waiting TO greet
him. There were cries for a speech and a
rush for him when he stepped from the
train but he was hurried into carriage
and driven TO the Kimball house. The
crowd followed and insisted on a speech.
A german was being danced in the ball
room by one of the swell clubs. Before he
knew what was happening, the late candi-
date was surrounded by the fair dancers
in evening dress. The german was aban-
doned for the time, and the band played
on.
In response to. continued cries for
speech, Mr.. Bryan appeared on the FIRST
arcade and spoke very briefly, thanking
his friends for their welcome to him. Mr..
Bryan came from Chicago direct.
At Hartman, Chattanooga, Dalton,
Rome, and other points, large crowds were
out to meet him. Large crowds assem-
bled in Chattanooga and Atlanta at an
earlier hour under the impression that he
would come by route other than the one
he travelled. He said that he did not want
demonstrations and came by line other
than one over which he was looked for.
He declined to discuss the Cuban ques-
ton In Chattanooga, in the course of
speech he said that he would do all he
could to make the silver cause stronger in
1900 than it is now. Mr.. Bryan speaks here
tomorrow night and leaves for home
Thursday morning.
