How tile Alleged Poisoner Conducts Herse1
in Jail.
Those pious little tracts which Mrs Boyce.
the alleged murderess, is said to peruse with
such apparent enjoyment, have not improved
her violent temper to any great extent 80 far.
The jail authorities find her more troublesome
aud vicious now than ever before. Deputy Sheriff
Longley incurred her severe disp1easnre last
evening, for some reason unknown to him, and
had to suffer very serious consequences. She
abused him with great Vigor and brilliancy for
nearly an hour, creating 30 much noise and con-
fusion that none Of the other prisoners could
sleep. He begged Of her to deaist several
times, but this only made matters worse.
Finally he decided to lock her
up in dark cell, and, rather
than have any trouble with her, he called in:
Officer Barrett to assist him. As soon aa he
opened the door of the cell in which she was
confined, she hurled bottle at his head, andthen
seized him by the throat with both hands. He
endeayored to push her Oft by placing his hand
on her face, but she grabbed
his thumb with her teeth, and rendered
him powerleas. Had not the officer
interfered, Ed. would have Jared pretty badly IN
the encounter, as he would not strike hewoman,
under any circumstances. She was removed to
the dark cell at last, where she amused herself
during the night by screaming at the top Of her
voice and banging = movable ron pedstead
against the door.

sEecicl Despatch to The Chicago Tribune.
IsD1ASAPoL1s, Ind, Dec. 6.-In to-day's ses-
eion of the North American Bee-Keepers' So
cietg, adulterated honey came up for discussion.
Ar. Southworth, Of Livingston County, ILL.,,
stated that he took the first premium at the 1lli
nois State Fair, held at Ottawa, on honey that
WAS wholly made from sugar, aud that, too, in
competition with honey gathered from white
clover, besswood and other natural sources.
This announcement astonished the cages OF
this society, who had supposed that
the combs could not be made from
sugar, and we may say that the. phrase s'bees
gather honey" is not quite true IN all respects
Was it sugar or honey, is the conundrum to be
that at the United States Fair, held in Chicago
in 1860, the honey TINT took the first premium
WAS made IN the same manner-trom brown and
coffee sugar. It vas suggested that hive OF
bees may be kept in parlor making honey from
sugar. Verify this is T. new industry to turn
over to the bees for winter work. A question
drawer had been provided, and Mrs: Tupper
was selected to answer the questions. Ihe arst
question was, Is the Rocky Mountain bee plant
profitable. to some for bee fozage2 She ,xhs had
ises to be valuable. It blooms until frost
s'How far have italian bees been known to fly
without setting ?" s'Eight miles, " was the reply,
according to her personsl knowledge. Other
instances we're reported OF fifteen miles.
s'Why do Italian swarms leave the parent
hive and not fill their sacks with honey before
leaving: :" The fact TINT they did 80 was offered
as reply.
s:Vill extracted honey sour if not heated2"
She said that it would not. It should not be
put into tight bottles under two or tpree days
Can We call swarms back?" A looking-gglass
may be 11aed to throw the rays Of the SUD among
them. which Will make them alight. Several
parties practice is to shoot gun in front Of the
moving swarm which WAS said to be effectual.
''Is their sack as sweet as honey?" The sweet
Of flowers is called honey, but coffee sugar is not
honey The President stated that it was held
that the sweet of flowers was changed to honey
by tue addition of prussic acid. derived from tho
body Of the bee.
Other questions were propounded. but most OF
these have been discussed in 'stThe Apiary De-
partment" Of TIE TRIBUNE.
The next annual meeting is to be held at Louis
ville Kentucky. The morning session YVES large
ly occupied in the passage of resolutions and the
closing business Of the society. The attendance
has been very large andof unusual interest. The
patent-hi1e men and dealers in queens have had
little to do at this meeting, and the time has
been occupied in the discussions OF practical sub
iects. Nearly eli the railroads hare granted the
members half-fa7e, and the hotels have also re-
duced their charges.

New YORK, Dec. 6.-Panama papers Of the

Was wrecked near Monteyideo, belonged to the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company, and was
valued at 375O,000 The Tacora was the vessel
which started from Liverpool about the same
time with the Republican, and the two steamers
engaged in trial OF speed. The fact that the
lighthouse on Point Mary had been blown down
caused an error in calculation, which landed the
vessel on shore.

STOCKS.
