Accused OF Political Hank crlnKs.

Richard Croker will not return to England
until the end OF the second week in March.
He IL anxious that the estate left by his
son Frank shall be settled before he sails.
To one Of his friends Mr.. Croker said last
night that while he would like to meet all
his old supporters and to visit the Demo-
cratic Club frequently. he was afraid to
do 80 for fear that his motives might be
nisconstrued, lest, in fact, gossip might
intimate that he intended TO take part
again in politics in this city. Such an idea
was foolish, Mr. Croker said, but all the
same he meant TO keep in the background
80 long as he remained here to avoid giving
any excuse for irresponsible speculation.
Mr.. Croker has refused to attend a re-
oeption which the members of the Demo-
cratic Club would like to give him. but
through John Fox he has made it known
that he will be pleased to see any Of his old
friends who may call upon him at his home.

the proposed remedy. He refused yes
terclay to discuss the work that was being
carried on at the hospital. The whole
matter. he said, would be brought out in
detail at the proper time before the County
Medical Society.
DR.. Waitzfelder said that It would be
highly improper for him to discuss the
cure before it had been presented TO the
society.
At the hospital also no informa-
ton could be obtained in regard to
the experiments. From n man familiar
with the affairs Of the institution, how
ever. 1t was learned that. although there
are hopes that the remedy will turn out
10 be effective. no results have been OBJ
tanned vet that would warrant the state
mept that the new treatment is any more
effective than the old. Under the old
method. it was said, there were occasional
cures. and so far as the experiments with
