FROM WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Commission for the
examination of the Union and Central Pacific
Railroads report that they met at Sacramento on
September 8. The inspection was completed Sep
tember %, when the Commission adjourned to
Washington. The Commission says that, in its
opinion, while some expenditures will need to be
made, the two roads are substantially first class
railroads. In the opinion of the Commission, the
general location of the Central Pacific is good

peared to them it might be improved There are

that they exceed reasonable limits considering the
haste with which the latter part of the road was
built, nor that either bonds or land grants should
be withheld for the small distance by which they
increase the length of the road

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE
Court Of Quarter sessIons-.Judge Peiree.

This morning the attention of the Court and jury
was engaged with the trial of the girl Anna j. Haw
kins, upon the charge OF poisoning the Hof family
last month There were seven bills OF indictment,
charging her with assault and battery with intent to
kill. The facts have appeared in our
local columns, and are briefly these:
The prisoner, who is but sixteen years OF
age, has been living in the family OF John Ho No.
404 N. Eleventh street, for two years and half,
being apprenticed as a servant Generally she ap-
peared contented with her position, but on some
occasions she was guilty OF misconduct, which
brought upon her chastisement and threats OF fur
ther punishment, and these latter had been made
against her just previously 70 this occurrence. On
the 21st OF June she purchased yeas
and sfted 1our, and with these bread was baked
The family ate 1t, and seven persons were made vo
lently sick. The physician attending them feared
that they had taken poison, and aroused suspicion
against the prisoner 1t thought that the trouble
arose from the hour, and the gentlemen from
whom 1t was bought were questioned, but declared
that it was free from poison, none OF the
other numerous customers who had used it being at
all affected. Finally, when Mrs. Hof recovered
she interrogated the prisoner who, in penitentia
manner confessed that she had put arsenic into the
bread, and was very sorry she had done So At first
she said she did not have any motive for the act hut
subsequently, that 1t was because punishment had
been threatened against her.
Beyond this confession, no direct proof OF the
actual presence OF poison in the bread was offered,
there being no witness who had made an eXamina-
uOn OF IT. and this circumstance, together with the
question OF INTENT was argued by the prisoners
counsel in favor OF her acquittal No testimony was
Olered by the defense. Jury out.

Great COnIIaeratfOn.

terrible conragraton has been raging for the
last two weeks in All-Saints Parish, Horny county,
South Carolina 1t broke out near the upper end OF
Ocean Bay, not far from the seashore, and has
burned over a distance of nearly twenty miles, The
breadth of the fire is unknown The country through
which 1t passed is literally burned up. Swamp after
swamp has been made bare of all underground and
the trees and timber completely destroyed. The sa-
vannahs, with the turpentine boxes, made sterile
wastes The hot, dry weather rendered it impossi-
bic TO check the onward march OF the names.
1t was still burning last Saturday. Twenty thou
sand turpentine boxes have been burned. The
earth is left bare behind the fire. The cattle range
is destroyed for the season; the deer unsheltered,
and the bears and rattesnakes made TO seek new
hiding Iace or TO be destroyed by the fire. 1t is
estimated that over 00 900 acres Of land have been
from the lurid names and the clouds of smoke that
arose by day were but portents OF the fiery storm
beneath. 10 this fire can be attributed the hazy ap
pearance OF the atmosphere throughout the South
east for the past week. Cincinnati Chronicle,

The uncomfortable closeness which has charac-

submit to the severe eXacons OF the street lenders
The currency temporarily withdrawn from our
market is beginning to return somewhat freely, so
that the difficulty OF obtaining funds at any price
longer exists, but the rates continue very hrm
sderng the condition Of the market, which is owing
to the activity prevailing on the stock board.
