on Thursday last, by which his right leg was bro
ken He WAS holding two horses, attached to a
spring wagon, on West Main street, in front of
his bouse, and, seeing two ladies approaching,
he led them forward few steps, in order to clear
the street-crossing when the horses took fright
and ran down Main street. He held on to them
a distance of about two squares, when he was
thrown down across the curb-stone, and the wag-
on passed over both his legs, breaking his thigh
bone and causing a compound fracture, The
horses continued their flight down Main street to
New, and down New to the corner of New Court
house street, where the wagon was upset and they
became Observation-Disclosures up New Court house
street to Augusta, and up Augusta to Main where
they were halted in their mad career. DIR. B. P.

assistance rendered. Mr. Carter is doing as well

IA this particular season, when the weather

and when feeble systems are shattered and I'M
nerved, it is absol ately necessary that scientific
principles shoald be brought to the aid of Nsr
tue, in order to avert the contraction of those
diseases that usually become seated and fixed
from the continuous changes referred to. OF all
the discoveries yet made, seem to answer
the purpose 50 we'll as BAKERS BITTERS, for
while other remedies have been tried and failed,
this medicine has proved to be the only panacea
for Dyspepsia, Nervousness, General Debility,
Colic Sour Stomach, Colds and Consumption in

BILE extracts, and so admirably compounded as to
act at once upon the Liver, Digestive organs,

The Rogers NIurder-More Mysterious
DeyeIOpments.


Developments.
The remarkable statement which we pub
lished yesterday from prisoner at the White
Plains jail is one Of the most extraordinary
yet given relative to tho mysterious murder
which 80 startled New York in December last.
The plot is so well woven and so real that it is
certainly well worth a thorough examination
by the authorities who may have this murder
case in hand. 1t can be readily ascertained if
the man making this statement is ''pal" of the
''Nineteentb street gang, and if he Is ''par-
ticular friend" of Logan. II Mr.. Rogers was
the cause Of having Logan twice convicted of
burglary and theft the records will show it.
II the woman mentioned as Logan's paramonr
is arrested the truth OF much of the story may
be ascertained. The contract verified between
the parties for the obtaining of the coveted
articles from Miss - may, perhaps, be found
il sought If the White Plains prisoner was
married to Logan's mistress the clergyman may
be readily found who performed the ceremony.
In fact, no chain Of evidence can be more
readily followed than this providing 1t be
found that the first link Is true. 1t certainly
warrants a thorough investigation for by this
time the authorities are anxious to have
another murderer to pardon. and should not
be denied the qualification il it can be so
readily obtained.
