A. I.ubntz of Now York. Shosp In very broken English, and her hearers must bo indo'cp sympathy with her to catch a modicum of what she says. Hor subject was ''tho barbarity likely to result if tho proposed trenty of o.tr"nlition bo twoun this country nnd ltussin should be ratified." Under tho Russian criminal law, she said, the proposed treaty seeks to extend to politicnl offenses and to include not merely the actual assassins, but any ono who may have joined any secret society which plots ng.iiiist the lifo of the czar, or any ono who may shutter members of such a society, Is considered to havo actually assassinated tho czar and is condemnod to capital punishment or sent to living death in the Siberian mines. Sho said there woro millions of peasants in Russia agging out a miborablo existence, living iu continual terror, and sho told some pathetic stories ot oxtlas who had been banished to Siberia for committing the most trilling offenses.

They could not pass from one town to another without passports. One ol tho women observed that Russia must be a poor place for tramps. Mrs. Luhatz replied that thcro wero no tramps in Russia. During hor address sho frequently repented the question.

She was listened to with profound attention, and she was ovidently earnest to a rod hot degree, her struggle with English forms of expression aiding much to make intensify her aspect of lorvor in delivery. She showed per lect familiarity with a volume of facts whioh reveal the horrors of discontented lifo in Russia. A NEW PASTOR RECOGNIZED. The Itcv. tSeorue V.

Gcorjre Iff. Sternberjr of the United Stntrs Anny Hnys tho Disease Can Eo Excluded From by an Intelligent Application or the Knowledge Now Possessed John M. Pyron of the Loomls laboratory and Others Also DellTCr Addresses. The Modico Legal society of New York held its April meeting at the St. George hotel In this city lost ovening.

The meeting was to order by Clark. Bell, seorotary of the society, and introduced Calvin E. Prntt, who hnd been invited to preside, owing to tho illness of Judgo Abraro H. Dttiley, the president. Dr.

Georgo M. Sternberg of tho United States army wns tho chief speakor and exhibited photo micrographs of tho cholera spirillum with tho stereoptlcou. Ho spoke at great longth nnd most of what he said was of a technical character. Dr. Stornberg said ho believed that cholera could bo excluded (rom America by nn intelligent application ol knowledge now possessed In regard to its spoi iflc cause and its modo of spreading.

Thoie is a great ocean between this country and tho European seaports, nnd experience has shown that the dlscaso might bo arrested even after its arrival in tho principal soa fort hero, under unfavorable conditions. The ecturor considered in a technical munuer the Asiatic cholera germ, describing its uaturo and the' manner in which it might bo destroyed. He had mado experiments, he said, which had demonstrated that tho cholera germ or spirillum could be promptly killed by a comparatively low temperature, by desiccation and by exposure to direct sunlight. It quickly perished when exposed to acid dilutions or disinfectants. A ten minuto subjection of the spirillum to a temperature of HO degrees Fahrenheit would destroy all life.

The usual way in which cholera was contracted, the lecturer said, was through contaminated water or food, and daring an epidemic it was Imprudent to drink milk or water which had not been boiled or food which had been Kept for some time after cooking. Hot tea and coffee it was nlways safe to tako. The speaker then told of a series of interesting exporimonts made by the German imperial board of health, to ascertain how long the germs would live in tho pulp of differont food6 and drinks. The result of many such experiments was to prove thai sunlight was one of the surest methods of killing the genr.s of the disease. In closing, Dr.

Sternberg said: "These facts justify the assertion that oholera is a preventable disease, tho extension of which may bo easily controlled by tho rigid enforcement of certain well known sanitary measures. Briefly stated these measures are: The exclusion of the exotic germ medical inspection, isolation of the sick, detention of Buspected individuals, and disinfection of baggngo at ports of entry quarantine. Careful sanitary supervision of all seaport cities, prompt isolation of the sick and of those exposed to Infection, disinfection of excreta and of all articles liable to contamination by the infectious discharge of th09e suffering from oholera or choleraic diarrhea. Sanitary police of oxposed cities and towns; prevention oi contamination of tho water supply, i( practicable, and, if not, the use of boiled water tor drinking purposes during the prevalence of nn epidemic or when there is reason to approhend that the water supply may become contaminated by eholero germs." Dr. Sternberg then oxhibitod a number of views explanatory of his address.

John M. Byron of the Loomis laboratory of Now York was the next speaker. He said thot, knowing the germ and its growth, it was easy to keep it out of tho country. This could be done by a proper system of quarantine, not necessarily by keeping people who have not the disease forty days in quarantine or sending them back to sea. If a vessel arrives on which deaths from cholora have occurred during tho trip or sufficient time has not elapsed since sho left tho port for the development of the germ, the vessel should be detained until it is certain that the germs of tho disease are dead.

Ho said that, although the quarantine board last year was not prepared to combat tho entrance ol cholera, yet that disease was kept out of the city. The disease was stopped Ave days after the arrival of the vessel on which it had developed in every instance, and that while the immigrants wero still on board. Dr. J. P.

Raymond was the next speaker. He said that one thing could be accomplished by the legal members of the society, that was to decide whether the occupant of a house, when taken sick with cholera, should be taken to the hospital or the well persons in the house placed in quarantine and the house turned into a hospital. It is by helping to frame public opinion on this question that the society could accomplish a great amount of good. He said that it was the duty of all citizens to uphold the hands of the city authorities in providing a pure water supply and in keeping the city clean. Ho said thot every man should constitute himself a committee of one to report any violation of the sanitary laws, and if ho saw any violation of tho law to report it at once.

Tho judges should also in every ense impose the highest penalty possible for such offenses. Dr. A. N. Boll, editor of the Sanitarian, also spoke.

He hoped that no city official or anj' one else would tako umbrago if he should say the same of the condition of the city to day. He had no hesitation, however, in saying that it was disgustingly filthy from one end to the other, as was proven by the fact that another filthy disease, diphtheria, had prevailed here for ten years past with an average of 767 deaths every year, while the number of cases was probably ten times as great. Thera was aa enormous mass of filth in the city, which seemed never to have been touched by tho authorities. He referred to tho stables scattered throughout the city, the mass of refuse stored in tho cellars of these buildings which was shovelled across tho sidewalk into opon carts. He also spoke of tho danger of contagion from Gowanus oanal and spoke of the fact that only recently a lot of wood, which wa to be used for building, lay soaking in the fllthy water of Newtown creek, which was further polluted by the drainago from a sewer.

Ex Health Ofllcer Dr. Otterson of this city wag the next speaker. He said that in hi3 opinion ono tho chief means for the development and spread of infectious diseases was tho plan of building houses which were practically cesspools, with but little ventilation. He suggested that one or two fireplace should be built In every cellar so that a blaze could bo created which would carry into the air and destroy at the same time all germs of such diseases. Commissioner Adams of tho department of city works was invited to speak.

He said that he had been much enlightened by tho address of Dr. Sternberg, and he believed that the city authorities of New York, with the health officer of the port, would be successful in keeping out these infinitesimal monsters, tho cholera germ3. Ho said that even precaution was being taken to improve and increase tho water supply o( this city, and in the city itself the work of cleaning the city was going forward vigorously. Dr. H.

B. Drayton and a number ot othor spoakors also made short addresses. A number asked for information as to how cholera was communicated and what the first symptoms of the disease were. Dr. Sternberg said that there was no danor of infection from touching cholora germs, if they wero not allowed to got into the alimentary canal.

Cuoleru. gorms do not travel on ship board, from the staerago to the first cabin, unless it is carried by some person. Ho approved of the suggestion of Dr. Raymond that when a cas a of cholera is discovered in a house it should bo transferred into a hospital, rather than havo the patient placed in qu'nrrantino at home. When cholora is prevailing in a city any person wh has any looseness of tho bowels ho should stay in tho house, partake of very littlo diet and keep quirt.

Appropriate resolutions wore adopted on tho death of Elliott r. Shepard, Dr. Frank II. Ingram and Frofessor Benjamin Bull of Paris. A vote of thank3 was tendered to Dr.

Sternberg and the society then adjourned. STOKES ATE K. Miss Marion Ada Stokes, daughter of tho Rev. 'W. T.

After Organizing nnd Re electing James Howell President, the New Board of Tmstees Takes Hold of Work nt Once How the Immense Entrance to the Big Span on the Other Side of the River Is to lie Itullt. The new board of brldgo trustees got right down to work yesterday and from tho energy that characterized tho proceedings it looks as If the membors propose to earn tho comfortable salary of $3,000 a yoar they are to draw for looking after tho affairs of tho bridge. Every one of tho new mon was present. Including Mayors Gllroy and Boody, Controllers Myers and C'or wln und tho four lay members, James iloweil, Soth L. Keeney, Edward V.

Sninner and Clor enco A. Honriquos. Tho business of the day was begun by Mayor Boody, who gracefully suggested that Mayor Gllroyof Now York tako tho temporary choirs. manship of tho meeting. He did so and after a word or two of thanks ho called on Secretary Beam to road tho act under which the now board takes office.

After that Mayors Gilroy and Boody formally announced tho names or the men they had appointed as trustees to hold office for ilvo years from April 1893, and then on tho roll call they wero all noted to be present. Controller Myers then suggestod thnt thu next thing in order would bo th election of a president and ho expressed, great pleasuro in presenting the name ot Jamas Howell for that oflleo. Mr. Howell received tho vote of every trustoo except his own, and ho was doclarod tho unanimous choloo of his associates. Mr.

Skinnor recoivod an equally flattering compliment by being mad vice president without a dissenting vote, and Messrs. Harry Boam nnd Edward ('lark wero formally elected respectively secretary and treasurer for the term of 11 vo years. Tho bylaws of the old board were adopted so lar as they were applicable for tho government of the now board temporarily and a committee was appointed to drait new regulations, to be submitted at the next inenting. Mr. Skinner thought that tho terminal committee of tho old board whoso members had charge of the work in progress at tho terminal stations should be roappointod.

but Mayor Gilroy said that a better way would bo to have an executive committeo to consist of tho four lay members of tho board and to pat them in charge of all the work to ho done on the bridge, ami this was agreed to. Next it was arranged that henceforward the board will mctontho llrst and third Mondays of each month and then President Howell called the attention of the trustees to the plans for tho proposed York terminus. Mr. Howell was soon surrounded by an in terested group of trustees and as tho blue prints of the plans wero spread out. Chief Engineer Martin explained the details of tho proposed work.

It was then voted to authorize President Howell to advertise for bids at oncn, so that they could be opened at tic next meeting of tho board, a week from next Wednesday. Messrs. Skinner. Keeney and llenriqoos wero appointed a temporary lliinnco committee to audit current bills and the meeting adjourned. Tho reconstructed New York station is to bo located on tho utherly side of Park row and its site includes that of the existing New York station.

It will havo direct connection with thu city hall station of tho Third avonue elevated railroad, and also by an elevated passage way and stairways with the northerly side of Center street, aiid by stairways with William and Hose streets. The plan Is rectangular, 5H0 feet long and H7 foot wide continuing from the southerly end is to bo a short, elevated, uncovered structure, over which tho tracks enter the station. There aro to be two main iloors on the first or ground lloor will be retiring rooms and three ticket booths, and on the second floor thcro are to be two passenger platforms und four tracks for tho bridge railway between these floors and leading back from Park row about 110 teet is an intermediate floor, a continuation of the elevated passageway over Park row and Center street. From the first to the second floor are six stairways and from the llrst to tho intermediate Hour are two ramps and ono stairway also the llrst 'door iu the sidewalk at Hose street tlmro will t.e two stairways each iaclos ing an elevator, and to the sidewalk at William street there will be ono stairway. The ticket booths on tho llrst lloor will he near tho entrances to the stairways leading to the outgoing passenger platforms.

A part ol the site of the new station nearest Park row is occupied by the existing New York station, which is to lie removed as the reconstruction prucueds: its soeond will support tho passenger platforms and terminal tracks now used by tho bridge railway and will also connect with tho city hull station el tho Third avenue elevated railroad und with the passage way over Park row and Center street: tills lloor is to be llvo feet six inches below tho second lloor of the now station. During the erection and completion of tho reconstructed station, the use aud operation of tho bridge and its railway, aad of tho connection with tho city hall station of tho Third avenue elevated railroad arc to be continued without interruption or delay or risk of injury to persons; hence tho trustees, without relieving tho contractor from any responsibility therefor, roservo tho right to direct the manner and relative order in which tho several stages of the work to bo done shall be executed. The present station is to be removed in sections as tho erection of the reconstructed station progresses: and the parts ami materials tnken down, so far as such may be expedient, shall bo incorporated in the new structure. The connection with the citv hall station of the Third avenue elevated railroad and with tho evovatcd passageway over Park How and Center street aro each to be joined to the intermediate floor of the reconstructed station. Tho specifications for the two elevators to give access to tlm bridge from Itose street require that each elevator shall have two passenger platforms about 10 feet long andll feet wide.

suitably inclosed and placed side bvsie: ar ranged to counterbalance, one platform to ascend as the other descends and to receive and discharge passengers at either end of each. The maximum load on a platform will be twenty persons or pounds. The elevators shall ho moved at a quick speed and operated by either steam, hydraulic or lectric power; if by steam, such will be supplied by the trustees ami delivered at tiio steam engines' used. Tho undertaking shail bo commenced promptly after tho contract is sjnej und shall ho prosecuted with energy. In the tender submitted the proposer shall state the period of time, beginning at the date of contract, required by him to perform th" undertaking; in case it Is not complete and ready for ue.

eptuueo at tha end of tho period so stated in his proposal, exclusive of the time, if anv, lost l.v delays over which ho hnd no control, and then certified to by the engineer, ho shall bo subjected to a ponalty of one hundred dollars for Such day thereafter up to such completion. For tho prompt and faithful performance of the undertaking the contractor shall give a bond for two approved sureties for a sum of not less than per cent, of the total amount to paid under tho contract.
