MORE OF THE HALPIN CASE.

1t would be difficult for one to say what
will come out of the Halpin case. Already
there has cropped out charges of perjury,
contempt of court. etc, and now we have a
writ OF injunction Just to show the wonderful
capacity of the case.
The woman, Ann Dalton, Saturday morn
ing applied to Judge Tissot for writ Of in
junction to restrain the succession sale of
certain property belonging to Halpin, alleg-
ing that her rights would be prejudiced if the
sale was allowed to go on. The writ was
issued about II o'clock.
Seldom, if ever before, hes our Probate
Court witnessed such a holly contested case
as this growing out of H,lpin's will The
woman claiming to be his wife leaves no
stone unturned to secure success, and her op-
ponents are not less industrious.

A Few Short Paragraphs for President
Grant to Read.

How many contracts has the Spanish Gov
eminent at present for the manufacture of
arms in this country?
what is the extent of those contracts?
Are these arms in process of manufacture
here in reality designed to be used at no far
distant day in shooting down our own SOL
diers?
And have they been ordered chiefly from
apprehensions OF war with the United States :?
II war with Spain is contemplated and in
tended. should these arms be permitted to be
shipped from our shores?
Blood is blood. Do not triae with the
blood now running in the veins of American
citizens. Ii we are to have war with Spain.
then every minute the President sleeps on
the present condition OF things inures to the
benefit of Spain and TO the damage Of the
United States.
II we are to have war with Spain, the sooner
We know it for certainty the better She is
at present making herself strong in arms
manufactured on our own soil. The money
the makers receive for these guns will be poor
compensation for the blood of our own sol
dlefs to be spilled by them.
Ii there is to be no war, we'll and good.
But If there is to be war, We can not too soon
stop the manufacture of arms tor Spain

that one OF its component parts is Asbestos; and
that it could not endure the great heat to which

Legislature Of Louisiana, he passed over Gen.
Mcdowell, who was in command of the
Military Division of the South, and Gen.
Sherman, who was in command of the
whole army and was at ST. Louis, nearer
New Orleans, and went to Chicago and picked
out Sheridan to perform the secret mission.
And Sheridan followed his instructions exact
ly, not hesitating to engage in the outrageous
military Interference and to assail the white
people Of Louisiana, whom he denounced as
banditti and threatened to treat as outlaws.
1t seems probable, therefore, that when &C
tual hostilties occur, Lieut. Gen. Philip H.
Sheridan, though second in rank, will yet be
ordered to take the head of the army.

committee of the House of Representa-
tlves Will investigate the hearless swindle in
the management of the affairs of the Freed
mems Bank, by which the negro was plum
dered in the house of his protested friends
and saviors. 1t is somewhat curious that 10 en-
like Fred. Douglass, who are continually
bowling about the persecution of the
negro in the South by men who are actuated
by tbs :" old rebel spirit" and issuing infiam
matory appeals to the worst passions of their
race, should never open their mouth s on the
subject of the Freedmen Bank iniquitv, one
OF the most outrageous wrongs ever perpe-
trated on the African race.
The sublime Douglass is on intimate terms
with the very men in Washington who quietly
pocketed the earnings of the negro depositors
and It would be Well for those poor people to
inquire whether Frederick himself did not get
some OF the money Certainly if he is such a
a champion of his race as he processes to be
ne should lift up his voice in their behalf
Like other colored politicians, however, he is
bound hand and foot to Gen. Grant and the
third term, and his colored friends will never
receive any enlightenment from him on the
subject of the people who have robbed them.

In this connection We desire to mention a
pleasant episode between some Of our own
Sir knights and those of our sister city, Mo-
bile. Sir Knights J. H. Scott, John W. Ad-
ans. A. S. Cutler and Thomas Murray went
over to be present at an interesting ceremony
Of the order in Mobile. They were met by
Sir Knight De Witt Clinton Peck, late of
this city, and other Sir knights, and during
pitality.
Among those who were constant in their
attentions were Capt L L Dean, Chief En- |
glneer Marcus De Lafayette Dinsmore, and |
their brother officers Of the revenue cutter
Ruth McLain; A. l.. Willoughby. Eminent
Commander, and Oliver Caldwell, Captain

rmly the good fellowship between the Sir
luights of the two cities.

ESCAPED.
Hartnett, Clifford and Sears, Three No.

cape From the Black Maria
While Being Conveyed
to Court for Trial.

About quarter past six o'clock Saturda
morning, while the Maria was receiving thre
prisoners from the Second Precinct Station
corner of Terpsichore and Rousseau streets
to convey them to the First Municipal Polic
Court for trial, the door of the prison van wa
suddenly pushed open, and the driver, Nc
Stea, who Was in the act of opening the door
Knocked down, and three notorious burglars
named Harry Clifford, Jack Hartnett and Joh1
Sears, jumped out of the van and made theil
escape, each man running in different direc
ton.
Corporal Labuzan was occupied at the time
opening the cells and watching the prisoners
IN the yard, and on learning of the affair
rushed out on the street to assist the Maria
driver, but got there too late to prevent heir
escape Several shots were fired after them
oy McStea, but without effect. These men
were In the van and had been received from
the Parish Prison, which fact was not made
known to the Corporal, or sufficient precau-
ton would have been taken to prevent such
an occurrence by the officers in charge of the
Second Precinct Station.
McStea was behind the door, and had lust
unlocked the handouts to receive prisoner
that was In his charge, when Clifford pushed
the door open with such violence that it
knocked him down, and before he could pick
up the three men jumped ont and
ran together as far as the corner of Rousseau
street, where they separated and made good
their escape.
Hartnett is desperate character, and made
his escape once before by jumping out of the
window OF Judge Evans's Court into Mrs, SIC.

SPANISH NAVAL STRENGTH.

Of recent date says:
Spain has SO large and powerful navy.
That II she should dispute with America at
the end OF the war, she would have great adj
vantage at the beginning Of the struggle.
The objective point Of any campaign in a
war with Spain would be some ann and con-
venient seaport of Cuba. To win and hold it,
and to keep up free communication between
it and our Atlantic ports. would be neces.
sary preliminary to a landing of an army upon
the island.
linen would follow cooperative measures
by sea and on land to secure other seaports
around the coast, and especially those of the
western part Of the island. The facilities for
landing forces and munitions must at first be
greatly in favor of Spain, as she would con-
troll Havana and other important ports: but
In the course of few weeks this ADVANTAGE
would be neutralizad by the immensely supe
nor resources Of this country for rapid steam
transportation, and by the short distance be-
tween our shores and the seat of war. Water

more vulnerable than Mexico was in 1s16
while the effective strength of the United
States for offensive or defensive operations,
by land or sea, are much greater now than
they were then.

and subordinate, yet the command of the
force operating in Cuba would call for talents

by the New York Sun that the personal rela-
tions between the commander-in-chief and
Gen. Sherman are such that the President
would not be willing to lntru5t the command |

Poisoned by Colorcd Stockings.

A little girl named Collins was badly pois-
oned by wearing striped hose. The stockings
were submitted to an analytical chemist, and
he reports
CHICAGO, January 6.
Mr.. L. G.. Collins:
Dear SRI have carefully examined the
stockings received from you, and tud that
their seal-brown color has been produced BY
the use Of picric acid, which is present in very
considerable quantity. This acid is poison
Gus, and soluble in water and perspiration,
and therefore well calculated to act as poison
to the skin, particularly when applied to
broken or abraded surfaces. The stockings
also contain logwood and traces Of chromium,
but nothing else of a poisonous nature, ana
therefore their poisonous action can be attri-
outed only to the action of the picric acid,
the influence OF which would be much in
creased by warmth causing perspira'ion.
e. A, MARINER, Analy ical Chemist.
The Chicago Tribune adds: "It appears
from this report that the child was poisoned

oollc and nitric acids Ten grains of this

are somewhat similar to that of arsenic. One
