What the Pork Dealers OF Brooklyn
Say About 1t.
The reported appearance ofthe dreaded trichna
splralis among the Western hogs created quite q
sensation among the pork dealers OF Brooklyn.
Messrs. Lock lit Co, who sell 10000 hogs per
year. state that they have not come across single
diseased hog for years. They buy from the West.
ern dealers, principally from Illinois and Iowa. Mr.
W. E. Smith, another extensive dealer in Western
pork, handles 20 600 hogs every year, and has
had occasion TO return more than two hogs IN a
year, and those were diseased by reason OF having
had the measles.
Pork" said Mr.. Smith, "is just now higher than

claim to retain his seat as senator for the Tenth
district, as IL will appear in che Argus tomorrow
morning.
The facts in relation to the above case are that,
admitting that the returns from the Second DIS
trlct OF Falsburg should have been canvassed by
the Board Of County Canvassers, yet, when taken
in connection with the evidence In relation TO the
returns from the Second district OF Forrest
burg, said returns would not have changed
the result nor deprived Mr.. Abbott OF
his seat. 1t is not denied but that
one OF the inspectors OF the Second Election
district Of Forrestburg took from the hands oil the
supervisor OF that town the returns for that dis
trict and reduced the number Of votes first re-
ported as having been~cas Tor Mr.. ABBOTT from
seventy-elght to twenty Eight, in order that the
votes cast for Senator snOud tally with the entire
number OF votes cast and that q statement Of that
iact was made by said Supervisor before the Board
or county Canvassers and was the principal rea-
son why SAID returns were not canvassed aud dis
allowed as being fraudulent and void.
MI. Abbott offered before the Senate Committee
on privileges and Elections the affidavIts OF
the Aforesaid supervisor to the manner in which
SAID returns were altered; also the sworn afidavts
Oh f0rtyi0ur voters in said district, that they had
cast their votes Tor him Tor Senator and which, II
allowed, entities him to his seat as Senator for the
Tenth district.
Mr.. Abbott also offered to prove that he was en-.
titled to more votes than were allowed him by the
returns from other dfstricts that fraud and illegal
voting had In many instances been resOrted to Tor
the election OF Mr.. Madden and to defeat him IN
the election yet the committee refuses to receive
III evidence except that offered BY the Contestant.

matism that il had been long impossible
for him 10 leave his bed. unless carried

Mrs. Tolin not buying anything. the ped
der commenced conversation, in the
course Of which he learned the helpless
condition Of Mr.. Tolin. Finally he made
an insulting proposal to Mrs. Tolin. and
she Indignantly ordered him to leave the
house. Instead, he approached her and
seized hold OF her. saying, with an oath.
that she was in his power. as her husband
was a good as dead. Mrs. Tolin. being a
delicate woman, ran screaming into anoth-
er room. The peddler followed her. and.

ensued between them. and Mrs. Tolin was
thrown violently 10 the floor by the des-
perate villain. Mr.. Tolin had been all the
time witness OF the struggle. lying DOW

wife falling on the floor. however. and her
frantic shrieks for aid. he seemed TO be en-
dowed with supernatural power.
Under the influence Of that power he
sprang from the bed he had been unable
20 leave for years. Selling a
heavy crutch that stood near tine bed. he
rushed into the room where the struggle
was going on. Mrs. Tolin had succeeded
in regaining her feet. but the petldler had
graspe,l her around the waist. and was en-
desyoring again TO throw her. As Mr..

the peddler. and felled him like an OK 10

supported the husband left him. With
shrek. that told Of the intense agony OF
the relapse. he clasped his hand 10 hi. fore
