Coon Co. He will associate; himself brother, J. A. Yantis of Boston, in with his the grain Chicago receiving: and shipping business at about January 13. Both of these gent learn have had xperience rarely offered by ordinaryvopportunities.

The latter came to Buffalo early in 1884 to reprej sent Coon Knowles of Chicago, to whom B. J. Co. succeeded in 18m The change in the firm in the latter year placed J. A.

Yantis as agent at Boston and S. W. Yantis in the same capacity at Buffalo, the' brothers both continuing with the "firm until the present time. The father of the Yantis brothers for many years has owned and operated grain mills and elevators in the West, so it may be said they have been brought up in th, grain business. They built up a large and car trade for Mr.

Coon jat Buffalo and Boston. a Yantis will leave Buffalo for New York next- Saturday. He has been quite popular with the grain men and others of the Merchants' Exchange, and it is probable that be will be given a pleasant send-off. W. V.

Donner, who has been With Mr. Yantis for nearly three years, will act as agent for Coon Co. at Buffalo. He is careful, capable, and courteous, nni well deserves the promotion. W.

J. Hardon, who has had charge for two years of Bpanu Chandler's corn and oats trade, has taken an office in the Board of Trade building, and will; start in the same business on his own account at once. He is well liked, has good connections at Chicago and at other Western gram points, and ought to gel along without trouble. Miss Mother Forsakes Yeast fbr Miss R. B.

Mpsher, who? has been for nearly 11 years manager of the Buffalo house of Fleischmann the manufacturers of compressed yeast, resigned her position yesterday to devote herself exclusively to the drug business of Bontecou Mosher, which has grown so as to require her entire attention. When Miss Mosher took the management; of Fleischmann branch here only four girls were employed. Now 18 are kept busy, and the volume of business is continually in creasing. -Muss Mosner carry wnn ner the best wishes of her frienls and thosa who have bad business dealings with her. LYMPH AND IILOKINE.

Koch's Therapeutic jiot Obtainable Awaiting a Shipment from Shurley. As far as known, none of Dr. Koch's much-prized; lymph has yet found its way to Buffalo, although a number physicians have made application for it and are anxiously waiting to be supplied, that they may experiment with it Among these is Dr. Clayton M. Daniels.

i Dr. Daniels visited Dr." Koch's laboratory in Berlin a year ago, and has many friends in that city who are endeavoring to obtain some of the lymph for him. Some time ago Dr. Daniels cabled to his Berlin friends to procure some for him, but as yet have been unable to do so. In the meantime a Buffalo friend sailed far Europe, and in a letter just received by the Doctor be states that it is impossible to obtain any.

lie inclosed a clipping from a London' paper describing -tho efforts being made by American physicians to obtain possession of some of the lymph. Dr, Daniels's friend will arrive in Berlin in two or three days and will personally try secure some. He says that all the influence of the American Consul and his attaches is being brought to bear to obtain lymph for America. In two weeks the Doctor's friend will return to America, possibly with the lymph, but the Dootor does not hope to have any within a month or six weeks. Dr.

Daniels remarked that Dr. Koch had opportunities which no American physician bad, being supported by the German Government in all his experirnents. But one patient at the General Hospital is receiving the new treatment for tuberculosis credited to Dr. Shurley of Detroit, i There is also a shortage of this The patient is a young woman who has been afflicted with tuberculosis for about seven months, and has been at the hospital for about three months. The symptoms of the disease are so marked that any would be noted easily.

Before this treatment was begun, the usual remedies in such cases were applied, but without success in stopping the progress of the disease. Now all other treatment has been suspended, 1 Dr. Burt C. Johnson, the resident physician at the Hospital, was yesterday asked what was the present aspect of the case, It is too early yet," said he, "for any appreciable change to be manifested, and the succecs or failure of the treatment in this case cannot be predicted." How long has the patient been under treatment Six days, perhaps a week. Once a day 15 drops of a solution are injected.

This first solution is intended, I believe, to prepare the system for the second, Which is substituted after a week or so. The second solution contains chloride of gold and sodum, and only a few drops will be introduced daily by inoculation." i Do you intend to apply it to other patents!" Yes, there are two or three others whom we are preparing for it by examining them so that we can tell if the treatment has any effect on the disease germs. The treatment will be begun as soon as we receive more of the preparation from Dr. Shurley." When that will be Dr. Stockton expects it daily.

He also expects to receive some of Dr. Koch's lymph from abroad, when experiments will be made with AJUDGEOP HUMANSATURE. The Who Knows When to Take a Stranger's Check. New York Sun. A young man who wanted to buy some pretty jewelry for his best girl's Christmas dropped into one of the John Street Jewelry shops the other day.

He selected a handsome bracelet which cost $40. He didn't happen to have so mncb money with and told the man who waited on him to pat it i aside for him and he would call for it later in the day. He noticed as he spoke that the man was eyeing him very It made: him feel slightly uncomfortable, and the thought flashed across his mind that the man did not believe that he would return, I suppose you don't like to- do that sort of thing," he said, but I will come for it sorely. I will leave a deposit if you prefer." The man smiled and shook his bead. Oh.

no," he said, I wasn't thinking of that at alL I was just going to say to yon that there is no need of your coming down again. Just write out a check for the amount and take the bracelet along with you, or, if you prefer, I will send it to your ad drags," He took a blank check from a drawer and handed it to the customer, together with a pen. The customer was amazed. Why, how do you know that my check will be good for anything he asked. Yon never saw me before." I know," said the man quietly, bat that is the way we do business.

We have been doing bis for 20 years and never made a mistake yet, It is part of our business i to judge human nature quickly aad decidedly, and it is upon our judgment that, we offer this convenience to certain customers. Wa don't do it with everybody, you may be i He had made no mistake in this instanoa, and the customer filled out the check! and took the bracelat along. SEEN THROUGH A GLASS. And Still Coming Events Do Cast Their Shadows Before. A New "Sar Forecast of What A.

D. 1891 Kay Bring Forth Looking Into the Futnre-ilow Will These Prophesies Pan Out? When the half-hour's unearthly screaming of steam whistles, and accompanying clangor of brazen bells, which proclaimed the knock-oat of the did year and that a lusty new champion had jumped into the ring, bad subsided, newspaper man who, being of experience, in life and therefore aware of the emptiness of the January quality of good resolutions, betook himself to a comfortable and conveniently appointed place for meditation npon the lessons which the time suggested. He sat in a quiet corner, and presently as he gazed through a glass darkly his attention was fixed by a strangely mixed and at first hardly distinguishable phantasmagoria, which, however, gradually assumed sufficient distinctness to enable him torecogoiz the Jumbled vision as an indication of events of the coming twelve-month. Chronological order was not closely maintained, and of some things there was only a vague intimation, still enough was clear some of the occurrences were drawn with vivid realism to make aa interesting study, and a condensed account of what this medium saw in his spiritual trance may be recorded as phopbeey, that we may note from time to time how much or how little of it is fulfilled. Interviewed, he said 11 One of the first forms that became tangible I assure you that I was sober for trie was that of a bent and crooked little man who was staggering under a bulky something.

At first I thought I was being shown Mr. Atlts bearing the world on his shoulders, but this Atlas was walking along a railroad track at the side of which was a guide-post reading 62 mites to That didn't hitch with any mythology 1 had learned. Pretty soon I fully recognized the crooked little man, and it was Charley Fitch. He was moving the revenue office away from Buffalo. "An instantaneous shifting of the scene presented the Interior of the Common Council Chamber.

A calendar I happened to notice showed the date, November 10, Tosh Bummers was in the chair, I perceived. Charley' Marshall was calling the roll on a notice of intention to pave Swan Street with smooth surface material, the work to be open to competition, and I was quite interested in 'observing that the affirmative vote was unanimous. Frank Gethoefer was still -Deputy City Clerk, and Building-Commissioner Reins ann was sitting among the city officers. Aid. Barnum, addressing th Council, said, 'the new Charter passed last February goes into effect within two months, and' There the view dissolved, and I saw oat at Kensington a great fair in progress.

It seemed to be the last day, and the time, I judged by the atmosphere and condition of the verdure, was September. There was an enormous throng of people. Fast electric cars were bringing other throngs. I wondered that there were no fakirs and no fake shows. But presto I the whole thing was gone from my sight in an instant, atid I saw the Cleveland Democracy celebrating the election of the whole Democra' ic city and county ticket.

A streamer on the wall of the meeting-room bad the inscription, Major Bishop re-elected, 3,800 Next thing I saw was dear old St. John's Church in course of demolition. The only explanation I could get of It was the inference drawn from noticing Speaker Lock wood and Postmaster Gentsch in apparently animated conversation at the diagonally opposite corner. I guess it meant that the St John's Church land will be the sits of the new postofflce. Up Washington Street a way, in' front of the Commercial office, was a bulletin board on which I read in rudely executed characters it was a mighty poor piece cf lettering South Park Awards Bet Asid l' Wilson Shannon Bissell Elected United States Senator I David B.

Hill Nominated for Governor and William F. Sneeban for Lieutenant Governor I 'Great Success of the May Music Festival' It was an erratic, quaky kind of a bulletin board, and I couldn't read any more before it was gone. Then everything seemed dark for an instant, when the darkness was illuminated by an lmmensi conflagration. It seemed as though a quarter of the city was in flames, but I couldn't locate the fire at all before the scene vanished. Next I saw another of the streets, and on it stood aa disconsolate a lookiog man as you would meet in a month of Sundays.

It was Robert B. Adam, and he was ruefully gazing at a new grade crossing over which trains were continually passing at the rate of about 100 miles an hour. The rival: ambulances were close at hand. The cars moved so swiftly that I could n'-t fully read what was lettered on them, but I thought I could distinguish an a and an O. Otherwise-the city's network of railroads seemei unchanged, and people were being killed at the crossings as usual.

"Zip I Now I was looking at the field of Olympic Park. It fadei, then reappeared, and did this 33 times, and every time I could see that the home club was winning. I admit that this is too good ever to come true, and guess the New Year spirits were fooling me I jet the seemingly impotsiblo sometimes happens, One thing very forcibly arrested my attention, and that was that all the streets of the city which were shown me were scrupulously clean. I couldn't learn any explanation of it, and didn't see anything of Billy Baynes or bis garbage carts. Walden Avenue seemed pleasantly peaceful, and the Cheektowaga road house were ail posted with To Let placards.

But I can't tell ou a raction of the strange thlngs that appeared to me. My head's pretty wobbly yet. I remember that toward the last I saw Forest Lawn, strewed with autumn leaves, and there were many new monuments to the dead of 189L I read a lot of the names, but I won't repeat them, for it's too gruesome, and you'd print them, and that would distress the people in the list, and their friends, too, if not their helra The sight of that array of granite-I tombstones quite overcame me, and in fact dispersed the pictures of the future, for I fell eff my chair." A Policeman's Head Hurt. Wednesday night as Patrolman Thomas O'Horo of No. 3 Station was attempting to stop a man named Joseph Faust, whom Patrolman McMahon was chasing, he was knocked down, and striking bis forehead on an iron railing, received a very bad wound about an inch and a half long.

He held on to the man. however, who was taken to the Station nd locked up Ob the charge of disorderly conduct. Faust was fined $10. Dr. Fowler, who was called to attend O'Horo, was obliged to sew up the wound with four stitches.

Ilia Case Serious. George Ocamb, the man who was stabbed in the groin by Jack McCourt in a saloon on Niagara Street, near Maryland," about six months ago, 1s now at the Homeopath Hospital, and last evening bis con lition was unchanged. His case is considered serious. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorii i You'll Kever Xotice it 0a Too.

Oppoaitioi'! toHlie Sato of Immigrant rroperir on ward's Kkw York, Jan. The; Welraer Verein of tbis city fcai forwarded to Governor Hill a protest against the sale of the immigrant property-on Ward's Island, except to the United States for immigration purpose.

The! protest says the Federal Administration has is-8umed entire control and responsibility con cerning immigration, and its officers have hot made and do not purpose to make proper" provision tor sick and insane iuiml-grants. The State Senate through its Finance Committee ia now considering measures for the sale of the immigrant hospitals and lanis. on Ward's Islands, the sale of which would deprive immigrants of their "ua forever and leave the United States no suitable plaee at this port to care for sick immigrants if so disposed. The protest then says that the State tax on immigrants was levied from 1847 to 1876 and amounted to This tax saved the State and the several counties millions of dollar which they would otherwise hava had to spend upon immigrants. The lands and hospitals on Ward's -Island, valued at $3,000,000, represent part of the State's profits upon its immigration business.

Tho immigrant hospital on Ward's Island was built in 18G3 after consultation with Florence Nightingale. It offers accommodation for 400 patients. Instead of occupying it the United States Government took sick immigrants out of this hospital and placed them temporarily in other hcspitals.until it could remodel a shell house or a storage plao for bombs! on Ellis Island into a permanent recepticle for 53 patients, where it proposes to treat both sexes and all diseases, except contagious ones, in the same building, which. consists of some cells for the insane and a single barnlika compartment for the others, A partition across the center, rising part way to the i roof prevents commingling of the sexes, but does not prevent the heariug by all of the cries that sufferings extorts from many. The protest continues; "To prevent the introduction! and spread of epidemics from abroad the public health of New York City and of the Union demands the reservation at this port of a large tract of land a large nauiber of immigrants could be quarantined without discomfort to themselves or peril to the community.

Ellis Island, containing but 3 acres, is insufficient for this purpose, which at times might require every acre of the 120 on Ward's Island belonging to the State. As this property was acquired without expense to the State the Legislature could with propriety and should present it forthwith as a gitt to the United States, leaving the question of payment to Congress for future action. If this transfer of the property be obstructed by any branch of the State Government, or by the refusal of the United States to accept it, its sale should be hindered or delayed till the question of despoiling immigrants of their own could be brought into politics and decided at the polls in 1893." The protest then declares: ''The actual issue to-day is the humanity of ew York State against the inhumanity of the Federal Government," and expresses the opinion that if the State perseveres for a little longer in its humane policy towards immigrants and preserves the immigrant property for the immigrants, its policy and the proper ty will sooner or later bs adopted and ac cepted by tne United States.

Blscolt New Years option mmm an war ar-- vw sv mwm ffn rm I The Natural Drima, "The Slaters," and Cleveland Minstrels. Very good perfornianeea of "The Twdj Sisters" were given? jat the Star yesterday and that numerous part of the public who believe with Mr. Howella la the-" natural drama expressed their delight in rippling laughter and fh earty applause. To some, these jekin-deep dramas with their platitudes and pretended naturalness are dreary. Many of us bear a baleful animosity to The Old Pome-stead," bnt oar humane weakness forbids) bar declaring it in thjt'face of the general admiration of the play.aod we go home and whSsptr our convictions our pillows.

There are people with intellects who would almost go willingly to jail rather than see The Did Homestead there is no denying its charm for a vait multitude, and the vast multitude are equally refreshed by The Two Sisters." i The changes that have been meda in the play heighten its entertaining power greatly, and the scenes of an episodical character are very diverting. John P. Brown, the whistling bootblack, was vftf much liked, the singing of tha Acme quartette was enjoyable, and the other specialty performers did well. The cast is the best that has been seen here in the play. Mr.

Rymah's acting as Hiriam Pepper was praisa worthy, and Mr. Mahoqy'did well as Harry "Horton. Mr. John Barker copies Denman Thompson too closely. 5 The manifestation of some originality in an actor is not altogether Out of place.

Miss Merrick and Miss Billings, as the Mary and Martha of tho play were excellent, and if Mr. Howells ever sees them tby will probably wake up some morning to find their names in Harper's "Study." A Good Minstrel 8h Cleveland's MioStrels gave two good performances "yesterday. The lover of old-time minstrelsy listened with delight to Luke Schoolcraft, one of the few good minstrels left to us, and chuckled over the witty things of Billy Emerson and Hughey Dougherty. Those who love modern minstrelsy appeared to enjoy Signor Benedetto and Percy Denton and Billy Nanktveile, for they had recalls enough to kill a cat. So everybody was satisfied.

One of the best things on the programme was: the finishing scene to the first part, contributed by Schoolcraft and Dougherty. Barney Fa-gajn's Phantom! Cuirassiers" were greeted with much applause. Their evolution are performed with precision, and the electric effects in their fencing scene are good. Griffin and Marks in their grotesque silent un added much to the entertainment, and the Craggs, whose acrobatio performances are unequaled, brought the show to a superb finish.

This action was brought by Thomas Radman, Charles Finke, and others in 1878 to recover about $3,000 on awards for laying out Fillmore Avenue. Joseph Bork, who.

was City Treasurer and was also; engaged in the real estate business, obtained the warrant for these awards as the agent of the plaintiffs. They allege, that Mr. Bork was not authorized to do tbis. The City defends on the ground that it has already made the payment. The lower courts have decided in favor of the plaintiffs, providing they would stipulate, to reduce their judgment from $3,699.15 to and the case is now in the Court of Appeals, where it has been argued and submitted.

A decision is expected shortly. Another important case in the Court of Appeals is that of the City against George II. Chadeayne for alleged violation of the fire ordinances. He built a frame structure on Dodge Street, within the fire limits, without permission from the Common Council. In January, 1S88, a judgment was obtained against Chadeayne in the Municipal Court, directing him to pay $100 penalty and 1 15 costs.

It appears that in 1837 Chadeayne had obtained the necessary permission from the Council, but it was revoked by that body one month after being given. Chadeayne. defends on the ground that the Council had no right to rescind. Charles F. Dunbar and the late Rev.

Dr. Van Bokkelen, being anxious to see the cass prosecuted, made a bond in the sum of indemnifying the City against any loss from the suitj Chadeayne appealed to the Superior where judgment was affirmed thence to the General Term of the Superior Court, where judgment was reversed on questions of law; and the City then appealed to the court of final resort, where the case is now pending. A remnant Of the celebrated case of C. 8. Crosser against Police-Justice Thomas S.

King, in which the plaintiff sought to have Justice Kiog removed from office, is now in the Court of Appeals. The City seeks to have set aside that portion of the judgment of the General Term which awards Adalbert Moot and E. J. Plumley $1,600 for counsel fees and disbursements for plaintiff. Tbis Crosser experiment has already mulcted the City of $4,057.35.

A decision is expected soon from the Court of Appeals in the case of the executors of the Fargo estate against the City. The plaintiffs seek to have the assessed valuation of the mansion prooerty reduced from 223,375 to $175,000. The General Term has affirmed the judgment of Justice Childs reducing the valuation to $183,000. Then an important question is involved in the case of Anna E. Talcott against the City.

The plaintiff secured an injunction under the Taxpayers' Act restraining the City from substituting electricity for gas in Bouck Avenue, between Niagara Street and Chapin Place. The City demurred, but the demu rrer has been overruled at Special and General Terms and the case has been argmed and sub mitted in the Court of Appeals, Meantime the electric lamps burn on Bouck Avenue and the Company waits for Its pay. The most important case before the General Term of the Supreme Court is that of William Bavage and others who seek to have the assessment-roll for the famous Elk Street Mar ket annex annulled. The City demurred to the complaint, the Special Term overruled the demurrer; whereupon the City appealed. If the plaintiffs succeed in this case the assessment will be thrown on the General Fund.

The case of Robert Burns and bis bondsmen is pending in the Supreme Court. Burns, who was formerly a watch-house justice, is charged with defaulting with $859.50, which he had collected in fines. An interlocutory judg ment has been ordered for the City as against Burns and his bondsmen, and Manly C. Green has been appointed referee to aisess the dam ages. In the same court the Board of Supervisors of Erie County seek to obtain possession of the triangle at Broadway and Washington street and $10,000 damages for trespass.

This action is set down for the next Special Term. Mary Scbultz is seeking in this court to obtain ($10,000 damages from the Cfty for permitting the Lackawanna Railroad Company to obstruct Main Street at Buffalo Plains. These are among' the more notable caus33 pending in the various courts. Four causes besides the number given are pending in the court of final resort, two of which have been argued and submitted. During the past year, 44 actions have been disposed of, the City winning S9.

Ten eminent-domain proceedings have been begun and 15-completed. There are pending in tho various courts 86 negligence cases, involving $174,610.85 in the aggregate. During the year claims were presented aggregating and negligence actions amounting in the aggregate to $55,876.78 begun. The sum involved in other litigations is $130,882.45. Tile City paid $1,925.72 in settlement of actions involving $31,000 and in settlement of claims.

Of judgments recovered against the City $1,441.44 was in favor of 1 ward Garrett for injuries he sustained through the negligence of the City in 1883; and $526.84 was in favor of William F. for services as secretary to the Civil Service Commission. During the year 189Q the Law Department passed upon the regularity of 1877 assessment 'rolls involving and 264 ordinance cases were prosecuted in the Municipal Court, in which the City recovered $1,21115 in fines and penalties. During the three years Mr. Taggart has been In the Law Department, he has Investigated 47 cases, from beginning to end, in, which the claimants aoughtto recover Of thos, 23 have been tried, and the City has lost four; and oat of the vast sum clalmed only $8,302.26 has been recovered.

This is independent of the cases now being investigated iu the office. Mr. Taggart retires from the Department next Monday with a record, that does' him proud. He has been a kind, obliging, painstaking, and competent official; and with his; retirement the City loses a man who can' hardly be spared. "I The Bright Spot.
