CLEANLINESS OF THE CITY.-It is q sub
jcct of general remark among physicians
as well as strangers that Richmond is in
remarkably cleanly condition, and there
seems to be 10 local cause for the spread
of an epidemic. The city hands and carts,
under the Superintendence of Mr.. Samuel
Z. Preston, have been at work for seven
months carrying the garbage away from
private lots and cleaning up the streets
and cutters. These operations, coupled
with the late rains, make Richmond look
as nice as though she had just come out OF
Il bandboX.

A POISONING CASE BEFORE THE MAYOR.
Minerva Johnson and William Robinson,
negroes, were arraigncd before the Mayor
Yesterday, charged with administering
poison to Moses Pollard and family, also ne
grocs. The reader will remember that
this case occurred on Broad street near
the corner of Seventeenth, on the llth OF
the present month.
Moses Pollard testified that his daughter
in-law Minerva purchased two pounds of
flour from John Gallagher, of which his
wife made some bread; that directly after
eating small piece I'll it he was taken
with vomiting, which continued until half
past 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. His wife,
who ate some Of the bread, was also made
sick. After he had stated that there was
something wrong about the bread, Minerva
and William refused To eat any OF it.
DR.. Little. Mr.. John Hancock, and Mr..
Joseph Willis gave the result of their
analvZation of the bread, of flour taken
from the tray in which it was made uP,
and of -four taken from the same barrel at
Gallaghcr'S store, from which it was pur-
chased. That taken from the barrel was
perfectly pure, while in the other there was
, an abundance Of arsenic.
DR.. IIundIcy, who attended the negroes
during their sickness, stated that, having
every reason to suspect they were poisoned,
he got some -four from the tray, which was
analyzcd 10y Mr.. Hancock, and found to
contain arsenic. Some chickens were
killed by eating the bread. Minerva was
there while the negroes were sick, AMI all
seemed To be on friendly terms.
DR.. TAYLOR said he had examined the
flour taken from the tray, and found it To
contain arsenic.
! Pollards wife testified that she had made
( the bread, and that the reason Minerva ami
! William refused to eat was that her hus-
band had been made sick. She further
! stated that there had been no difficulty be-
! tween themselves and Minerva; no fuss
relative to a marriage. She would be toe
glad if Minerva would get married; but
She had never had an offer yet.
John Gallagher said that he sold the girl
! the flour early in the morning. She said
she wanted the best, and he gave it to hcI
from barrel Of Staunton extra. After
! the alarm was raised, he sold no more from
that barrel until he had given portion OF
/ it to DR.. Little. Had since sold it to whites
and blacks in the neighborhood, and had
! heard no complaint.
| The Mayor decided to postpone the
further hearing of the case until Saturday
and the prisoners were remanded to Jail
, There is a mystery connected with the
affair, upon which but little light has thus
! far been thrown.

made. In the case here alluded to, no sug'
gestion was made to him that there was
any testimony to be introduced for the
prisoner.
Captain Cook, of the Bureau, arose and
said that the negro told him that he had
further testimony. The Captain, however,
did not attemptto explain the charge which
he had made against the Mayor.
His Honor then appealed to the police
men and reporters present to say If any
such testimony was offered in the case, and
the response was that no one had ever
heard of it before.
The Mayor then ordered that the prisoner
be again brought before him, and every
opportunity will be afforded him to prove
his innocence, notwithstanding the reckless
assertion of the 4" Bureau" Phe case will
probably come up this morning.

have no knowledge of the contents of the
pocket book. The paper presented the
same soiled and worn appearance that 1t
does at present.
Mr.. Williams further stated that deceased
uniformly signed his name "Cole," and
not "Cold"
Edith Gardner, negro, said that she
nurscd Cole from the time he was taken
sick until he died. He had his pocket
book in bed with him. She advised him
to get some brandy, and his sister Ellen
took the pockct-book and got the money
to pay for it. She did not know to whom
the pockct-book was returned, but on Sa-
turday evening Virginia Cole gave it to her
and she locked it up in her wardrobe, and
kept it until Wednesday, when she gave 1t
back. Witness further stated that Joe
Cole came there about ) O'clock, and after
Robert Coles death, and while prcpara.
tions were being made to Shroud the body
he asked where were his brother Roberts
papers.
Frances Moody, negro, testified that be-
fore Cole and Virginia were married Inc
gave her hack and horses. After they
returned from their bridal trip she heard
him tell her there were her hack and
horses, and that he intended to give her al
his property. After Coles death, Joe Cole
came to the house and asked for the hack
and horses. She asked him what he had
to do with them, and he replied, so
course man ought to attend To his own
property"
Royal Smith, negro, said that he was
present during the time that Cole was
sick. Joe Cole came in about ) o'clock,
and while his brother was being shroudcd
asked for his (dcccaScd's) papers. Wit
ness drove Robert Coles hack, and Joe
Cole afterwards came and gave him in
structions about the management of the
horses. Robert Cole was not 4 very good
scholar, and was in the habit of getting
other persons to do his writing. Deceased
was always called Robert Cole.
Mr.. Laubc, undertaken, made state
mcnt to the effect that he saw Joe Cole at
the funeral, and that he was ready to have
quarrel with the sister of deceased III
regard to the expenses.
Mr.. Andrew Johnston and Mr.. ErrlcSon
testified to the irrcproachablc character OF
the prisoner.
Some conversation cnsucd between the
Mayor and counsel relative to the nature
of the paper produced, and then his Honor
claborately explained his views, concluding
with the remark that he would not dis
charge the prisoner, but would admit her
to bail in the sum of 500 for her ap-
pcarancc on Saturday, and mean while
would examine and sec how far commit
ting magistrate had power to set aside the
finding Of grand jury.
