DISCOVERY OF MICROBE
THAT CAUSES GANGRENE
American Ambulance Surgeons in
France Reported to Have Solved
Important Problem.

PARIS, November 3. 1850 p.m.-A
microbe causing gangrene to develop
in bullet and shrapnel wounds has been
discovered by Drs James Scarlet and
Georges Desjardins of the American
ambulance service.
Previous initial cultures all were i'm
pure. leading to the belief of SCENT
lists that the disease was caused not
by single germ, but a combination
of germs. After much research and
experimentation on horses and guinea
pigs a single bacillus has been discov-
cred and isolated and the serum is
now being prepared by DR.. Henri Weis-
berg of the Pasteur Institute.
The discovery is expected in medical
circles to have worldwide Importance
The serum is being injected into pa
tents on the battlefield in the early
stages OF infection, oDsiating a.nputa-

anything about Miss Cecilia Poynter.
It's funny how people can live for
years Just about next door and never
really know one another. Miss Cecilia
lived in the cottage at the foot of the
mill and Uncle Tom lived just at the
top, and 1 don't suppose up to two
years ago he could have told you any
thing about her except that she had
lived there alone with her old colored
cook since her father and mother died
within two months Of each other years
before.
Uncle Tom has no sense Of duty
about his neighbors. Now, 1 have
very strong senseof duty. and I felt
that it was part Of mine to get ac-
quainted with Miss Cecilia. Besides

There was a very well beaten path

stead of at the foot. but it was finally
done.

DENIAL OF MANDAMUS.
Courts Opinion in R. I.
Avenue Extension Suit.

The District Court of Appeals in an
opinion by Justice Van Orsdel yester-
day affirmed the action of the District
Supreme Court in refusing to grant
the District Commissioners a manda-
mus to compel the City and Suburban
railway to acquire and dedicate GER
tain land necessary for the extension
of Rhode Island avenue.
The appellate court finds that the
authorization to the railroad company
by Congress to acquire the land by
condemnation expired by limitation one
year after June 81. 1898.
In the absence of express authority.
1t is stated, the company could not con-
denim the land, and the granting of a
mandamus would be a nullity.
