THE BEEF-POIsONING CASE.
Mystery to the Origin of the sickness of
Twelve Persons.

The beef question is threatening a di-
vision OF Beverly, N j., into two hostile fac
tions, each led by representative OF the medi-
cal profession, one a homeopathic, the other
an allopathisf. On the 9th Of the present month
Mr.. "A. A. Butler, a grocer Of that place. sold q
large quantity OF prepared corned beef, as put
up by a Chicago nrm. within the next six hours
no less than twelve persons who had partaken Of
the beef were suffering from violent cramps ana
symptoms OF cholera, says one OF tho parties
while the other asserts that the effects were
those OF mineral poisoning. VIM. Keeper and

Drs. Taylor and Townsend admins tered to tho

sons who were served frsm the same can ate

LETTER CARRIERS TORTURED.
Work which they Say IL Useie-s-Tbe Weary
Rounds thnt XIII.

The men who carry letters have had no
sinecures within the past few weeks. No en-
ployees In the Government service have suffered
more from the heat. and none have been nearer
utter prostration. That these faithful servants
OF the public are overworked Ia undoubted by
oil who are familiar with their duties, and that
something should be done TO spare them from
. death like to that OF James p. Hayes,
"the tall Iettor carrier" is very apparent.
Hayes was buried on Sunday. lie was
six feet Ave and half inches In height, and
weighed go pounds. He seemed to be one Of
the strongest and most healthy men in the de-
partment. He went out on Friday morning and
began to distribute letters ut Cedar and Nassau
streets. His route was through Mass u to Wall.
thence to william. and thence TO Pine. He COW
cred both sides OF Pine and Cedar streets.
Three times ne made full trips that day, and
once a half trip. Then he was TO have maze two
"half" collections, and two fun " collections,
which would have finished his days work at
e;l6 IN the evening, but at $3.50 he wss dead. In
his trips II was frequently necessary Tor him to
tramp up three OF four flights OF stairs, or down
into the cellars. The heat was terrific and tho
strain upon him was unbearable.
With scarcely any exceptions the carriers COM
plain that they are overworked. Tney say tnat
II Is absurd to send them out so early and keep
them at work so late, aud that altogether too
many trips are made. Down town they md
many OF the places OF business closed when
they make their earliest and latest trips. 1bey
beg that somethin z may be done to save them
frOn needless suffering.

The Result Of n Sundays Csrousai at Boss
shepherd's Country Rcsidence.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-An interesting
fact In relation to the sunni sry removal Of POST
master. General Jewell has just come to light.
On the Sunday before the President asked Jew-
ell for his resignation. he, 10 company with Bab-
cock, scent the day at Bleak House, Boss Shep-
herds country residence. Honest yeomen in
that neiRhborbood tell curious stories Of what
they saw ana heard Of the doinRs Of this trio at
Bleak House on that memorable Sunday. They
were In merry mood. aud cut some queer capers
about the Dosss grounds. To put the fact
bluntly, Grant and his boon companions were
quite drunk. They held council Of war, and
decided that Jewell 1.-THE damned bobtail clam
Yankee" as the Boss dubbed him. must lose
his ofhcial head. and, sure enough, Grant exc
cuted the decree the following day.
Another curious fact Is printed In the Evening
Star Of to-day. Grant went to Deer Pirk on last
Friday, and a correspondent Of the Star. writing
from this watering place on sunday, says that
on Saturday night Boss Shepherd, II illett Kill
bourn, A. II. Mullett, aud Ned Brookes Of the
Republican uut IN an appearance. Evidently the
Boss and his friends are keeping close on the
heels Of their big Boss, ulys'es.
