The New York American of today says:
Reports are being prepared by the Newark
City Hospital board, to be presented to the
State Medical Society and the New York
medical board, concerning q case of lock-
jaw that was cured in that Institution with
tetanus anti-toxin procured from the New
York board of health.
The patient whose life was saved is Sam
uel Gohy, twelve years old. Gohy fell on
the pavement while playing in front of his
home and cut his knee. Home remedies
were applied. but ten days later the boy
complained Of severe pains In the back Of
his neck. His condition became such that
he was removed to the hospital.
When Gohy was received In the hospital
his jaws were already set, his head was
grown back rigid. the muscles Of his body
were contracted and his limbs were stiff.
The doctors diagnosed his aiment as lock-
jaw, and on examination the tetanus bacilli
was found in the wound on his knee.
Work was at once begun to save the
boys life He was kept perfectly quiet
drugs were administered and the anti-toxin
used. 1t was five days before the boy s
rigidity yielded to the anti-toxin, and thrice
in that time the doctors feared ne would
die. But now he has entirely recovered
and his case is considered SO marvellous

VETERINARIAN NEEDED.
Maj Sylvester Wants One Appointed
for Police Department.

Major Sylvester, chief of police, has writ
ten to the Commissioners recommending the
appointment of a veterinarian for the police
department. For a number Of years." says
Major Sylvester, 1.-The question of proper
feeding and care Of patrol horses, fitting Of
harness, care of wagons and saving OF feed,
which has been high-priced. has given us no
little annoyance. The department has grown
to such proportions that there is important
need of the services of graduate veterina-
rian who is familiar with all matters in
connection with the care Of horses Such an
officer should keep a record Of every ami
NAL employed by the department and make
a weekly report of their conduct and man
agement; also their condition, harness, and,
In fact. everything pertaining to the patrol
and ambulance system.
This veterinarian should also be EN-
ployed as an expert in cases where ar
rests have been made by members of the
police force for cruelty to animals. A
proper knowledge of such matters will
aid the court In deciding questions aris-
ing in these cases, and will be of benefit
in defending the rights of persons who
employ dumb animals, who are often in
nocently taken into court and where SUI
hcient enlightenment on the subject would
be the means of more justly determining
ana settling charges 1t would prevent an
imposition on the public and at the same
time protect the department against unjust
criticism

FIRE IN BALTIMORE SHIPYARD.
Two Steamships, Nearly Finished,
Badly Damaged bv Flames.

A dispatch from Baltimore last night
says: Two ocean-going steamships, almost
ready for launching, were seriously dam
aged by fire tonight, and as a consequence
their initial dips will be delayed for several
weeks. Three hundred men, at work upon
the vessels, had narrow escapes, so quickly
did the flames envelop the ships and their
supports. The ways upon which the YES
sells rested were destroyed and 300 feet of
steel plates were SO badly buckled that
they must be removed. No estimate of the
monetary loss can be given tonight.
The vessels are the Missouri and the
Maine. being constructed for the Atlantic
Transport Company for its China trade, at
the plant Of the Maryland Steel Company,
at Sparrows Point The former was to have
been launched In two weeks. The work on
the Maine has not progressed so far, but
her LAUGHING will necessarily be delayed
several weeks. The blaze is said to have
been started by the explosion of hot pitch

CLASS FIGHT INTERRUPTED.
Justice Harlan Collars Leader and
Orders Cessation of Hostilities

The class fight between the freshmen and
sophomores of the Columbian University
School of Law which was expected to take
place last night failed to materialze to
any great extent, owing to the Intervention
of Justice Harlan, who appeared on the
scene at the moment the initial proceedings
were begun. 1t was no fault of the mem
bers of the two classes, however that their
beligerent desires failedN Both parties to
the proposed ARRAY were on hani. and ready
for the engagement.
The anticipated contest was the result
Of the announcement of the freshmen class
that it would hold its first meeting last
night in Jurisprudence Hall. This an
nouncement acted as a suggestive chal-
lenge to the sophomores to break up the
meeting, if possible. The remembrance of
last years fight was still fresh in the
minds of the members of the second year
class. and they planned to avenge the in
dignities then endured by making things
unpleasant for the freshmen.
There We're about 100 freshmen and only
about twenty-five sophomores After the
regular lecture of the evening the first
which had proceeded for a short period
when the sophomores made a charge
against the door of the hall At this point
Justice Harlan appeared and in a command
ing voice ordered the combat to cease The
sophomores paused for moment, but were
evidently not disposed to obey the order
for they Immediately began a second as
sault, when Justice Harlan reached over the
heads of the assaulting party and, seizing
the leader of the forces by the collar. drag
ged him from the pile. The jurist then
directed the Second-year men to dsperse
with the desired effect.
The freshmen were ordered to repair to
the hall in the university building and pro-
coed with their meeting, under guarantee
that they would not be disturbed. The
freshmen were probably more anxious for
fight than the sophomores, and as they
marched around the corner to the hall they
teered at the second-year men and accused
them of cowardice. The sophomores, how
ever, were averse to attempting to override
the restraining order of the higher court
and scattered in disorder. 1t is stated as
not improbable that the interrupted en-
counter may take place at a future date.

CLAIMS HE KILLED CUSTER.
"Appearing Elk" Makes a Confession
to Sioux CLERGYMAN,

dispatch to the New York World from
Philadelphia yesterday says: A former
Sioux chief, now an Episcopalian rector,
the Rev. Philip Daloria Of Flora, S. D..
who is attending the council of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church here, said today:
1t was only year ago that 1 learned
the true story of the death of Gen. Custer.
had been the means of converting an old
warrior named Appearing Elk. Unlike most
Indian braves, he was not much given to
boasting Of his exploits, but knew that he
had taken many scalps
appearing Elk became a fervent Chris
tan and one day, after he had been bap-
tized and taken into the church, 1 asked
him to tell me of his experiences in the bat
tie OF the Little Big Horn. Every Sioux
wants to know who killed Custer and that
was my first question. 1 was surprised
when the old man replied: I did
.! felt pretty sure that Appearing Elk
told the truth. l drew his story from him
In detail and this is what he said:
1--WE had surrounded the last cluster of
soldiers when my pony was shot from I'M
der me- When 1 got on my feet again I
discovered that had been wounded. Sud
denly man in blue doomed up in front Of
me.
Il knew he was a big chief. He was
sWaying like a drunken man from exhaus-
tion and loss Of blood because Of many bull
let and arrow wounds. I felled him with
my tomahawk and then sat on his body to
be sure that should not be robbed of my
spoils. In order to make doubly sure took
the revolver from the holster of the dead
man and stuck it in my belt.
" 1 didn't scalp the man, because his head
was shaved. and I was ashamed to take
a mere piece of skim
Il know positively" continued Mr. Dalo-
ria, that the revolver taken by Appearing
Elk was subsequently identified as Clusters,
and SO far as 1 have been able to learn,
Custer was the only man in the command
who had his head shaved"
Appearing Elk died last sprine

CHANGE IN MISSIONARY CANON
Subject of Discussion in Episcopal
Church Council.

The desirability Of change In tho mis-
sionary canon Of the church. was the chief
topic of discussion at the missionary coun-
Gil of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
Philadelphia yesterday. -
The principal speakers on this subject
were Right Rev. H. Y: Satterlee, bishop Of
Washington, and Right Rev. R. l.. Brewer,
bishop of Montana. The second referred to
the need for additional mission workers.
and how to meet it, addresses being made
by Right Rev. Cameron Mann, bishop Of
North Dakota; Rev. j. c. Roper Of the
General Theological Seminary and Rev. l..
B. Ridgely Of Wuchang. China.
Bishop Satterlee favored change in the
canon for the reason that the missionary
council was not sufficiently authoritative
The council, he said. had been In existence
long enough to show its advantages and de-
fects, and, in his opinion, 1t possessed one
fatal defect.
THE missionary council he said. has
no authority, It is a board of advice; it
votes no appropriations; its function Is SIM
ply to suggt St"
The bishop argued that the missionary
council should be invested with authority
little short of that possessed by the gen
eral convention. He granted that the gen
eral convention. as representing the whole
church. is and should be the supreme au-
thority. He contended, however, that the
devote sufficient time to the consideration
of missions.
Bishop Brewer disagreed with Bishop Sat-
terlee. What Is needed. he said, is not
change Of organization, but change Of
heart.
Bishop Doane Of Albany participated in
the discussion. He supported Bishop Sat
terlee's views The only purpose of the
change, he said, was to make the canon
helpful to missionary work.
A resolution offered by Bishop Brown of
Kansas was adopted. requesting the board
Of managers to appropriate 100000 to be
distributed among the bishops In the south.
Bishop futile Of Missouri presided at the
business session in the morning. Rev. DR..
Taylor of Los Angeles, Cal, presented
greetings from the Brotherhood of st. An
drew and read a resolution adopted by that
organization calling upon the young men
to display wider interest IN church mis-
sionary work.
Rev. DR.. Mcknight Of central New York
diocese and Rev. DR.. Butler of central
Pennsylvania were appointed committee
to draft a suitable memorial to the late
Bishop Whipple.
Rev. G. S. A. Rose of Monterey, Mexico.
addressed the council on church conditions
in his diocese.
