Death from Pork.

A coroners inquest was recently held at
Cleveland Ohio, on the body of Carl Mar
tins Three weeks before Christmas Mar
tins purchased a carcass of pork. Some of
the meat was eaten the same day, and some
made into sausages. About ten days later
the sausage was partaken of, and in short
time the whole family were taken sick,
Martins died Sunday night. Mrs. Martins
and her two children are now very sick,
and the former is not likely to recover.
The jury rendered vildict that Martins
came to his death by eating meat infected
with friedman spirdls.

Only Il Coil OF Hair.

The Washington Capital says: When
"they' were removing the dead from st.
Patrick's graveyard, gentleman had his
mothers remains, which had been buried
for thirty-three years, brought up, and
found that the hair was in remarkable
state of preservation, and had evidently
grown during this time. His wife needing
a chignon, and not having two hundred
dollars to buy one of the quality she idesir-
ed he took the old lady's hair and present
ed it to his wife.
She was charmed, and got in the cars
next morning and took it to prominent
hair-dresser in Baltimore, told the story
which was overheard by some ladies who
were being "frizzed" had it made
into superb coil, which now adorns her
classic head That's what the old lady got
for shutting off that mortal coil. We su p
pose the coil might be called hairs from the
grave

Col. Lnmes Fisk Jr.

NOls OuiuCo Etbh OAs
We briefly mentioned last week the fact
that Col Fisk had been shot and died from
tho effect of the wound.
The shot was fired at Fisk as he entered
the Grand Central Hotel, one Of tho most
public places in the City.
Stokes, who fired the fatal shot, it is al
ledged, was Fisk's rival in the effection of
Miss Helen Josephine Mansfield, who had
suit on trial against Fisk for slander, in
which she and Stokes were both on the
stand as witnesses on Saturday. Miss
Mansfeld's suits and threats to publish her
letters from Fisk have been the subject of
protracted litigation and newspaper gossip
for weeks. Fisk, it would appear, had, by his
mastery manipulation of the machinery of
the law, triumphed with injunctions in this,
as on many other noted occasions, driving
his rival to madness, with the fatal result
now chronicled. The career of Fisk is
well known. A few years ago he drove
n pedler's cart across the hills of Vermont.
lie has since passed through such career
as no other adventurer has ever run, always
buoyant and nearly always successful,
whether by fair means or foul. Miss Helen
Josephine Ma nsfleld, OF Mrs. Lawlor as
she is sometimes called, as the wife of the
actor OF that name, is represented as q
sweet syren, gorgeous adventures,
whose silks and diamonds and rare beauty
matched the meteoric brilliancy of the
"Prince of Erie" Stokes, the assassin, is
married man, about thirty years of age,
and is only known to the public recently
in connection with the Mansfield affair.
The excitement in the 9th regiment of
which Fisk was Colonel was intense, and
the feeling against the murderer was very
great.
The following is the will made by Fisk
few hours after he was shot:
I. give devise and bequeath all my
estate and property, real and personal,
except the special legacy hereinafter men,
toned, to my beloved wife, Lucy ID. Fisk
subject however, to trust to pay to my
dear father and mother, Jointly, or to the
survivor of them, $4,000 a year for their
support during the life of either of them
and further to pay to Minnie f. Morse and
Rosie c. Morse each, $4,000 year during
their lives, respectively, until marriage,
when the annuity of the one marrying
shall cease. The property and estate afore-
said to vest absolutely in the said Lucy and
her heirs forever, subject only as aforesaid,
and the said trust shall not effect her right
freely to dispose Of and transfer any such
property.
ii. give and bequeath to my sister
Mrs. Mary G. Hooker, stock in the Mar
ragansett steamship company, of the par
value of 100000, for her sole and sepa-
rate use forever.
III. appoint my said wife and my
friend Eben ID. Jordon, of Boston, excc-
utors of this my last will and testament.
In witness where of have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this 9th day Of January,
1872.

A Duel I'm Court.

An unpleasantness has existed between
General Davis and s. M. Meek, lawyers, of
Mississippi, since last August, when they
appeared on opposite sides of murder.case
at Aberdeen, in their State. Davis was of
the loud, boisterous and blackguard style
of attorney, while Meek was, as his name
denotes, mild, unobtrusive man, and at
that particular trial felt himself insulted by
his opponent. A few days since they were
brought again into professional opposition
at Columbia, Mississippi, when Davis tried
his old tactics, and indulged long in often
siye language, which so irritated Meek
that he could stand it no longer, and
said, 81 cannot endure your browbeating
defend yourself" Each drew his pistol, but
Davis was too slow and was shot dead be-
fore he could get his weapon ready for use,
the murder taking place before the judge
and full court. General Davis was a
colonel in the Mexican war, and during the
rebellion a general in the Today Mississippi
militia Before the war he was member
of Congress for two years, and had secured
at home fine reputation as as criminal
lawyer. He was about sixty years old.
Meek is about forty and stands at the head
of his profession in that State.

Looking for Frauds.


The recent Grand Jury Of York county
must have strong suspicious regarding the
honesty Of those who have been handling
the public funds Of the county, for ten or
twenty years past, Judging from the fol-
lowing petition which was signed by every
member of the .jury--The petition sets
forth: "That during late years the debt
of said county has increased to an unprece-
dented and enormous amount without suf-
flcent evidence that there was occasion
therefor, and without producing results at
all commensurate with the expenditure of
money that has been made that taxation
increased, and has become enormous and
burdensome that the debt of the county,
so far as your Memorialists are informed,
is near about the sum of three hundred
thousand dollars that public opinion is
fully impressed with the conviction that
this is the result of official extravaganza
and corruption, and that the accounting
and auditing officers of the county have
failed to do their duty that it is due to
the people, upon whom the burdens fall
that an investigat ton should be instituted,
and inquiries directed to ascertain the true
cause of the state of things thus complained
of, and that all persons, if any such there
be, who have dishonesty or unlawfully
used, or applied to their own purpores, the
public funds Of said county, should be COM
PEELED to reckon for the same, and repay
the amount with interst." The petit ons
also ask for the appointment of Auditors
with the power to examine persons and
papers and to revise and adjust accounts
for each year since 1860. They request the
appointment of Thomas E. Cochran, Levi
Mash and Charles b. Wallace.

From, Washington.

On Tuesday last Mr.. Cox of Ohio intro
duced series of resolutions in the House
recognizing the war between Spain and the
Cuban colonies and giving the latter the
rights of belligerents. The resolutions
were referred to the committee ON foreign
affairs.
Considerable of a struggle has been going
ON for few days past as to where the Re
publican Presidential nominating conven-
tion shall be held. Several cities had del
egates here setting forth their claims. The
first Wednesday of June was fixed upon as
tho time and Philadelphia as the place of
meeting.
Considerable amusement was created on
Tuesday morning by the fact Of the House
being opened with prayer by Jewish Rab-
bi, who kept his hat on while conducting
deyotions. Several members VINO did not
understand that he was jew, thought he
had forgotten to take his hat of.
Charges have been made against Senator
Clayton of Arkansas, by persons who state
that his election was secured by Improperly
granting certificates of election to members
Of the Legislature. The charges are to be
investigated bya special committee.
At a meeting of the Republican execution
committee. Mr.. Fulton proposed the fol
lowing resolution:
"That in view of the proposed re-nomin
alton of the present Executive, this com
mittee would respectfully suggest to thos'
holding commissions under the Genera
Government the propriety Of abstainini
from seeking or accepting appointments al
delegates to the National Convention
This very proper resolution was objected
TO and withdrawn, so it is evident tina
the Office holders intend to take han'
in re-nominating Gen. Grant The onl.
remedy for this method of getting nomi
nation is to adopt the one term principle.

A Remarkable Case.

John Haring was overtaken by train
on the Northern Road Of New Jersey in a
narrow pass between two mountains, just
before reaching Nyack. There is is only
a single track at this point, and the train
passes so near to the rocks ON each side,
that there was no room for IIarring to take
refuge on each side, nor could the engineer
stop tn train. AS it approached, Harring
leaped upon the cow-catcher, and seized
hold of flagstaff planted upon 1t to steady
himself, and would have been saved, but
unfortunately the. staff broke, throwing him
un der the wheels, by which he was 50 Sc
verely crushed that death ensued almost
instantly,
