The Wharton Trial.

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 12.-In the Wharton
case Prof. Aiken was recalled. In answer
10 question he said that he had dis
covered that the experiment or test dc
scribed by him before tho jury differed
NATURALLY from the test rs described In the
summary. The experiment described In
the latter Is not II test. The witness
thinks clerical error and not an error Of
judgement The important variaiicb be-
tween Aiken's summary, or tho report Of
his analysis and his testimony before the
Jury Is that he describes two different and
distinct experiments. In the former he
says he dissolved some Of the white sede-
ment of a lumber in water, then added
some hydroChlorlc acid which gave q
white precipitate; this was dissolved in m
excess of acid, then, when this was
thrown In water q white preclpi-
tate was given. This does not
occur with the tartar emetic. The ex-
pertinent detailed In the testimony before
the Jury was different II described the
solution Of a substance supposed to be
suplate OF antimony In boiling hydro
ChlOriC and its subsequent reactions. A.
A, Rileinshmidt, Of tie firm of Gosman \
Co., testified to selling the prisoner on
the Goth Of June, II small vial Of tincture
of valerian; witness gave her an ounce;
prisoner tl1gn asked for q small quantity
Of tartar umetic, saying that she wanted
Il for q plaster; thinks he gave her sixty
grains, which he charged on the book.
N. II. Hutton testified to Mrs. Wharton
telling him on June 2Sth, of tho finding a
vial 6i laudanum in Ketchum's bed by
the servant the day previous, and ex-
pressing the wish that he would tell DR..
Williams, and no one else.
Several other witnesses were exaInin-
ed, but their testimony was unlmportant.

lowing particulars respecting the caiam
ity which beleli the circus establishment
of our townsman, Mr.. oder, a brief az.
nouncement of which was published II
the BULLETIN last wccA
Through letter to q prominent ciii'
zen, we learn that d serious disaster be
fell the Older circus on Thursday morn
ing. The establishment was on It's an
nual tour through tie interior Of tic

ruinous loss through the dies. 'ection OF

gerie, and consequently required large
number Of horses for the transportation
Of the wagons and cages. Of $50 be-
longing to the institution, Al were de-
stroycd by fire.
On the conclusion of their entertain
ment at Reedsburg, on Wednesday night,
eighty horses were provided with quar-
tiers under three large tents on the place
Of exhibition, each containing respective
ly twenty five, twentyseven and twenty
eight horses. About O'Clock in the
morning, when nearly all was ready to
start for Baraboo, the canvas men and
drivers went to the hotel for breakfast,
leaving no one in charge but . hostler
belonging to one of the side shows.
Shortly after their departure the tent on
the eastern extreme Of the line, filed with
straw to depth of three feet for bed.
ding pu rposes, caught fire from torch,
and in short space of time nineteen
horses were roasted to death.
Twenty-one were rescued IN dam
aged condition, some with their eyes
bnrnt oat. some entirely skim, ed, and
others with their lroofs SO badly burned
that blood streamed from their feet al
every step. They were removed to inc
stables of the Mansion House and North
western Hotels, where, after inspection
a number were put to death. Several OF
the poor animals, wild with exciteineh'
and pain, straycd off into the country
and were found between three ana loul
miles from the scene Of the disaster
The horses belonged mainly to. &hc Dag
gage wagons, the company losing only
one ring-horse.
The fire was severe bow to MIR
Older, whose loss is estimated at 900
The company, though sadly crippled by
this untoward circumstance, will through
the energy of the proprietor, renew ,t'
engagements for the season As soon rs III
can obtain new complement o.
draught horses. The main tent, con
tanning the menagerie, was located u
some distance from the Inflated tent. ant
therefore escaped destruction.
