grcss from the Second New Hampshire
district died at his home here last night
of quick consumption, aged 80 years. He
took an active part in the campaign Of

ISAAC WEED
ASPHYXIATED,
His Death is Supposed to
Have Been Caused by
Escaping Gas.

Captain Thomas E. Kane and o.
ticers Bowman and Mcdaniel last
evening discovered that Isaac Weed
had been dead for several days at
his home Eighth and Rodney
streets. About 9 o clock last even
ing a neighbor informed the police
that Weed had not been seen Tor
three or four days.
The policemen Immediately made
known the facts to Captain ka' e
and he directed them to get lad
der and enter the house, Cap.uo!
Kane went out at once and BY II C
time he arrived a ladder had been
secured. He and Bowman entered
by the bathroom window in the sec.
ond story. AS soon as the window
was raised they were met by ANAL
most overwhelming stencil, mir.led
with a strong odor of gas. Pro.
ceeding hastily to front bedroom
a horrible sight met rEeir gaze.
Strong men as they were it was Il
most more than they could bear.
Ga the bed Law the body OF Mr..
Weed terribly decomposed ard
black as coal All but the face
was covered. Further investiga-
ton disclosed that the entire Uuuy
was black and swollen.
A gas stove by the bedside told
the tale. 1t burned as brightly as
when first lighted when the aged
man sought repose on the fatal
night. Captain Kane found that
gas was escaping from two holes III
the stove, and he believes the gas
from them had not been lsnited
when the stove was lighted. All OF
the doors aud windows III the rom
were tightly closed. The captain
believes death TO have been act :
dental and could find 10 evidence ..
suicide.

Of my life" says George g. lockwood,
the New York photographer. IN the
year 1860 1t transpired that no good
picture existed Of the four Harper
brothers, and 1t was determined that
they should sit to the same photogra-
pher and have a uniform series Of pic

graph Of Fletcher brought them all.
James Harper was the second to sit
for me. and as he was passing out of
the door Of my studio he saw por-
trait Of Rev. DR.. Muhlenburgh, the
founder of st. Luke's hospital. We en-
tered into brief discussion Of the
mighty results Of the well and wisely
directed efforts of one man rs Illus
trated in the establishment of this

Six Republican members OF tn'

SIX Republican members OF the
House yesterday voted with the
fourteen Democrats. (Scotten oil
Kent county not yoting) in the con-
lest of FL. d. Learned to quash the
same IN the House. The contention
was raised by Representative Hol-
comb OF New Castle, that notice OF
the contest had not been given on
I the first day the Legislature sat.
being on Tuesday week. For th s
reason alone, the six Republican
members Of New Castle couaty
voted with the Democrats. The
Democratic members OF the House
we're correspondence happy at the
outcome of the Scotch contest case
and they say that is how Howard
D. Ross contest will terminate in
the Senate. 1t remains to be seen
how MIR. Ross makes out, but from
present appearances it looks bad
Tor him. The Republican members
who voted ag ainst gong into the
Learned.Scotten contest say thev
would not have voted as they did
Il the papers in the case had been
served properly. One member said
be did not think might made right.
and as for himself he would do
nothing but what was fair. This
action IN the case chagrined the
fourteen Republicans who voted
against returning the papers serv-
ed upon Mr.. Scotch in his contest
and tor some time after the House
ad jocrned, they did not know where
they or their party stood. No such
excuse can be advanced against
Howard D. Ross in his contest for
Francis J. MeNulty's seat IN the
Senate. His attorney, MIR. VIM. S.
Hilles, saw that Senator Samuel
Knox served notice OF the contest
In the Senate. 1t now remains to
be seen how Mr.. Ross clam fares.

ANOTHER VICE CRUSADE



PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.-A mass
meeting Of citizens of which Bishop Hen
~ G. Potter of New York was the cen
trail figure was held In the Academy OF
Music last night for the purpose of tax.
ing preliminary steps in starting Il gem
eral crusade against vice in this city. The
big building was crowded, most Of those
present being women. Bishop Potter had
been invited by committee of clergy
men to address an audience on crime In
large communities. The bishop, when
introduced was enthusiastically WELDON.
cd. fle refrained from saying much OF
the conditions of vice as they prevail in
this city, leaving that for local speakers
TO tell. The bishop touched briefly on his
boyhood days which were spent here and
then discussed in n general way the cen.
tralization Of power which he said ex-
lists today in many walks of life. He said
there is in the popular mind belief that
judges on the bench. men in the lcgisla-
tive halls and the smallest politicians are
purchasable. That such condition
should exist he said. was dishonor
Bishop Potter then spoke of the great
movement for better government started
in New York and said the conditions that
exist in Philadelphia are no different
from those prevailing elsewhere. Spells.
men and public officers who betray their
trust should he given no peace. If Phila-
delphia would take up the work, he said,
the two cities could 20 forward hand in
hand in Tie right direction.
The Rev. Dr. Wayland Hoyt of this
city delivered strang address against
the alleged immortality of the city. lie
severely criticised the present municipal
administration.
A resolution was adopted by the meet.
ing TO the effect that the citizens of Phil.
adelphia recognize that our city has fall
len under the sway of its worst elements,
organized into political machine, which
by its control of vast revenue, the spoils
of office, unwalTanted use Of police power
md other agencies aftlicts us with almost
every form Of misgovernment." The res
olution also provides for the appointment
of committee to begin movement for
the bettermcnt of the prevailing condi'
tiols.

HAVANA, Jan. 10. The American
commission, under the superintendence
of DR.. Reed, which has been making cx-
periments at Quemados as TO the propa-
cation of the yellow fever germs by the
mosquito, has obtained extremely salts
factory results.
DR.. Reed says the experiments show
beyond doubt that there is no contagion
from an infected person or from infected
Clothing, but that the mosquitoes alone
are responsible for the spread of the dis
ease. In the course of the commissions
investigations six nonimmune persons
were infected direct by the bite Of mos
quitoes which had previously bitten yell
low fever patients, and five of these de-
vcloped yellow fever.
The last experiment made proved CON
clusively, DR.. Reed contcudS, the theory
Of propagation by mosquitoes. A special
building was constructed Of tlisinfected
material, and one of the rooms was di-
vided into two sections by a wire mos
quito screen. In one section We're placed
disinfected bedding and clothing and in
the other bedding and clothing from the
yellow fever hospital which had pot been

several infected mosquitoes. The patient
remained in this room only long enough
to be bitten, and in four days pro-
nounced case of yellow fever developed.
The patient is now convalescent.
The other subject slept in the infected
bedding for many nights and has not con-
tractcd the fever.
Both patients have been sleeping for
20 nights in garments worn by yellow fe-
yer victims and in bedding from the yell
low fever hospital.
