Weir is Discharged.

A police court trial resulting in the dis
missal Of d. w. Weir on charge of break
ing quarantine from his home, sos North
Thirty ninth street, gave a number Of ply
sicians opportunity to Engage in a strik-
ingly technical discussion of diphtheria,
much to the bewilderment of the officers.
The air was full of medical terms and
phrases.
The home manners and tastes of bac-
terial life were discussed for something
like an hour, when It occurred that the
question of the existence of the disease al
Weir's home was immaterial, The prose.
cution failed to show that Weir had en-
tered the house after the quarantine order
was issued and he was dismissed.
The original row continued, however, in
an ante room. where the defendant, city
health officers and an array OF interested
physicians and lawyers continued to clash
until the "trusty'' came to sweep out.
