MAINE SOLDIERS GOING HOME.
A Regiment Passed Through New Ha-
 ven Last Night.

A regiment of Maine soldiers went
 through this city about 10 o'clock last nigh on the way home from Chicka- mauga. The regiment was in large cars which it was though would not
 go through under some of the bridges between this city and Boston and con-
 sequently it was expected that it would be necessary to transfer the soldiers to smaller cars here. Some of the soldiers were very i'll and it was feared that moving them would make them worse. Accordingly a request was sent for sev- eral physicians to be at Union depot
 ready for any emergency which might occur while the transfers were going on. Drs. Daggett, Carmalt, Leonard, Bacon, Sheehan and De Forest respond ed. It was, however, finally decided that it would be necessary to transfer only three carloads and the services of the physicians were not needed. One of the soldiers stated that there were ten eases of typhoid fever in the regi- ment and three men had died of tv- phoid fever since leaving Chickamauga.

Committee on Ordinances.

The ordinance committee met last night and decided to recommend the amendmen of sections 401 and 404 of the ordinances so that permits shall be given by the superintendent of police instead of by the mayor; the amend ment of section 1855 providing that per- mits for bonfires be signed by the su- ,perintendents of the fire and police de- partments; and the amendment of sec ton 1S4 so that hand organ grinders may play not more than one-half hour in any part of a public street instead of one hour as at present.

LEIGH WINS IN WATERBURY.
Defeated Tom1inson and Secured Eleven
 Delegates in County Convention.


 Waterbury, Aug. 25.-The democratic convention of town delegates to elect delegates to go to the county conven- tion was held in the city hall here to- night with large number of interested spectators present. The rumor to the effect that the Tomlinson men were going to make a contest in the choosing of the delegates, was correst in part, but the showing made by them was so poor that it could not be called a. fight. Of the 26 delegates in convention, 21 voted for a slate of Il delegates, all of whom were pledged to Walter Leigh. Even in the Fourth ward where the Tomlinson men were successful in the promary election, two of the five dele- gates voted with the Leigh forces. The Tomlinson mems mode of attack to- night was In a motion that each of the districts represented at the convention, with the exception of the WaterviHe district, should nominate two dele gates, so that the Waterville district, the sixth district, should nominate one. The method in this was that as the Fourth ward was a Tomlinson strong hold it was believed that the Water- vile delegate to the convention would nominate a Tomlinson man.
 The Tomlinson delegates voted for the Leigh men as the former were nominated from the First, Second, and Third, districts respectively. When it came to the Fourth ward two Tom linson men were nominated by the Fourth ward delegation. They were not allowed to go, however, for two Leigh men were nominated in opposi- tion with promptness. A vote was then taken with the result that the Leigh men receive 21 ballots against for the Tomlinson candidates. The Tomlinson men made no further con- test.
 The following delegates were elected: Robert McGrath, John H. Reil. John Powers, Henry Kennough, Edward Me- Grath, Lawrence Lawler, Morris Me- Carthy, James Morris, Alderman John Hurley, pr. John Hayes, John Gilmore.

Fire in W. H. MeDonalds House.

A disastrous fire in the house of w. averted yesterday afternoon by the prompt action of MT. McDonald's sis- ter-in-law, Margaret Dwyer. Some curtains caught fire from gas stove and had blazed up fiercely when seen by Miss Dwyer. She promptly pulled the curtains down and put them in a sink and turned water on them, extin- guishing the flames. A key to a fire box near the house was hanging by the curtains and the wooden tag at- tached to the key was burned up.

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Aug. 8, 1898.
 Sir: I am greatly obliged that you have called my attention to what ap- pears to have been an injustice to your ship, officers and crew, for the part which they took in the action of July 5, and also for the very proper man. ner in which you have presented it.. I think, however, that you will agree with me that, in submitting such re- port to the secretary of the navy, where so many officers are -vitally in- terested, and justly proud of their ship, it is no easy task to do so without ap- parently bestowing praise so unjustly It requires very careful consideration of the report from every point of view to avoid misunderstanding.
 2+The positions of the ships of the squadron must be carefully considered to fully appreciate what it was possi- ble for each vessel to accomplish under the circumstances in which she was placed. Those that were to the west ward of the escaping enemy were cer- tainly better placed for stopping the enemy, and also better placed for de- livering their fire than the vessels to the 6dSCWdEu, WHICH WdS tllC bIoShe1o- ins. station of the Indiana.
 3-No distribution of the fleet could completely predict and provide against every variation of such sortie, nor do I consider that any commanding of ficer deserves either credit or blame, because the ship under his command ,yas faster or slower than another ship. or carried heavier or lighter battery; but rather that the command ing officer was blameworthy when he failed to put his ship in the proper nIace for destroying the enemy, just in nronortion to the advantage which he nossessed in speed, battery or position over his neighbors.
 A-Each commanding officer in my opinion was personally responsible for tbe good use which he made Of the tools with which he had to work Ger t.,nlv did not intend to criticise you, ror to bestow less praise upon the h. diana, than was bestowed upon any other ship of the squadron.

MYTHICAL HOSPITALS.
How Did the Ancicnts Take Care Of
Their Sick?

How Did the Ancicnts Take Care Of
Their Sicks
A very interesting and pleasing dis
covery is announced from Baden, near
Zurich. The learned have been discuss
ing for ages whether anything in the
way of hospitals were known to the an
clients. 1t is not to be said that they
were disputing, for there was not mate
rial enough hitherto to support lively
argument. One might read the whole
volume of Greek and Roman literature,
carefully, too, without noticing one
passage that might be interpreted as an
allusion to hospital.
The works Of Hippocrates could not
fail to speak of them surely, if any ex.
listed. But nothing is large beyond ref
erence to the notes Of leases" observed
in the temple of Esculapius So it is
generally assumed that there were no
hospitals in those days. The @sclepia
were "baths" with massage treatment.
Scholars who hold to the other opinion
can adduce only hints in its favor
But now we hear that one has actual
~ been discovered at Baden, containing
IA rooms supplied with mary kinds
of medical, pharmaceutical and su.gi::
cal apparatus, probes, tubes, plnchers'
cauterizing instruments and even col
lection of safety pins for bandaging
wounds"-but these things are famll
lar. "There are also medicine spoons
in bone and silver. measuring vessels,
Jars and pots for ointment. some still
containing traces of the ointment used.

choice That it will be upset by the

most unlikely, but SO seemed the revo'
intions of 1880 and ls4s before they

| Nothing was heard from the fugitive
bank president until Nov. last, when
after wandering about the world as a
fugitive from justice for over seven
years, he returned to the city and vol
unfairly surrendered to William H.
Wanamaker, his bondsman, who had
been obliged to forfeit the $4,000 Ac-
| companying Mr.. Wanamaker to court,
he surrendered to the authorities.
Lawrence, the cashier, was convicted,
and after serving several years of a
long sentence was pardoned by Presi-
dent Cleveland. AS an outcome of the
Keystone bank failure John Bardsley,
then city treasurer of Philadelphia was
also sentenced to long term of i'm
prisonment for unlawfully loaning city
funds to the bank. Bardsley, too, was
pardoned after an Imprisonment of
about four years.
The return Of Marsh revived many
stories which obtained circulation at
the time of the failure to the effect that
some persons prominent in financial
and political circles had prof1ted by the
lootng Of the bank and that Marsh had
been aided in his flight by these men
with the object Of preventing exposure.
A Statement Expected.
For this reason the arraignment Of
Marsh in court was looked forward to
with unusual interest, in view OF
probable statement from him which
might involve persons whose names
have not previously been mentioned In
connection with the banks affairs.
After Marsh had entered his plea Of
guilty, his counsel asked the courts
permission to present a statement Of
his client which would show mitigating
circumstances in connection with the
commission of the acts to which he had
pleaded guilty. Counsel informed the
court that the statement would show
that after Mr.. Marsh had assumed the
presidency of the bank he found that
there existed deficiency in the bank
of over 100000. He had no doubt
erred in covering this deficit but the
load was too much for the bank to car
nv and finally resulted in its failure.
Counsel said the defendant had never
profited a dollar through the banks
losses, and that when he fled over sew
en- wears ago he had not with him cent
of the banks money.
Judge Butler, however, informed the
counsel that he would receive no state
ment except matter pertaining directly
To the Indictment and the defendants
plea thereon. He would not permit
statement to the court which did not
hear directly on the acts of the de-
PENDANT and which had no other inter-
est than that of the qualification or
public curiosity.
The court finally dismissed the mat
ter by informing counsel that he would
remand the prisoner until Tuesday next
when he would impose sentence a1ter
hearing counsers plea. He, however
would not make this case an exception
and would not go into an investigation
Of the banks affairs. He would merely
listen to counsel's statement relative to
defendants acts with the object OF de-
termining the extent Of punishment 10
be imposed.
William Steele, former cashier OF tne
wrecked Chestnut Street National pank,
was also arraigned and pleaded not
guilty to an indictment charging MN
with aiding and abetting President
william NJ. Singerly, now deceased IN
the misrepresentation of the funds OF
the institution.
