evening, from the effects of dose of strych-

scrption. DIR. Evarts has been attending
her, and last evening, finding that she was
out of medicine, Mr.. Carpenter went to the
doctor to procure fresh supply. The med
icine he had been giving her contained
strychnine, and closely resembled that deadly
drug; the bottle he had prepared was exactly
like another containing the poison, and the
two stood near together. The doctor gave
Mr.. Carpenter the poison instead of the pre-
scription and Mrs. Carpenter took her accus-

agony and the doctor was summoned. I'm

LABOR SAVING MACHINERY,

A Witness Before the Labor Commission
Who Believes 1t Responsible for the Bus
mess Depression--Other Theories Adj
vanced.
New YORK. Aug. 4.-J. j. Hinchman, of
Brooklyn, gave his views to the labor Congress
sional committee to-day. He did not think
the depression of business was SO great as re.
ported, and he believed that the government
should not interfere by legislation.
f. H. Thurber, merchant of this city, testi-
fed that he believed the primary cause of the
ills which the laboring and other classes are
complaining of are the developments of steam
and electricity which, in connection with
laborsaving machinery, have within u compar-
atively few years revolutionized production
and commerce, altered our manners and Gus
toms of life and now absorb the attention of
statesmen of the day in the adjustment of or
ganic law to meet the changed conditions of
the age in which we live. An overstocked mar
ket means a commercial crisis with all it's at
tendent phenomena of declining prices idle
manufactures and distress among operatives
The only remedy for this is to wait until con-
sumption catches up with production.
Some funther testimony of similar quality
given, and the committee adjourned till

POTTER'S PUMP.

The Committee Hold Short Session Yes
terday and Develop Other Proof OF Re-
publican Rascality in Louisiana--Ad-
journment of the Committee Subject to
Call.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The Potter committee
continued its investigation to-day. ]. r. Alcee
Gouthreaux. of New Orleans, who had charge
of the registration bureau in 1874, testified that
his bureau ascertained that the number of
fraudulent registrations in New Orleans
amounted to $4,000, and affidavits had been
made against 400. The witness said many of
the republican supervisors of elections and reg
listers were non-residents, fugitives from JUS
tice and in several cases were under indict-
ment. The witness said he had a conversation
with Judge Dibble, who made the remark that
he and Burke were foolish to work for the De-
mocracy, for if they had majority of 10000
they would be counted out by the returning
board.
Winners referred to the sewing mac hine cir
cular by which he said the Republicans made
their registration lists and said that when Mai
Burke and himself protested to the returning
board against this fraud they were laughed at.
He then gave the names Of large number of
those who manipulated the late election. all of
whom held federal offices, including j. Madison
Wells and Thos. o. Anderson. Witness adj
mitted that he belonged to the organization
known as the White League. He had turned
out with them and borne arms. The object of
the league was to protect themselves against
the Vaccinations of men who wanted to en-
crOach on their rights as citizens and take
their property from them. The organization
was still in existence and numbered from 700 to
1000 members.

THE y. III. GENERAL.

Reception to the Mail Portion of the Ad-
ministration.
The reception rendered by DR.. Day last
evening to Postmaster General Key was, for an
impromptu affair, of the most brilliant
and hospitable occasions this city has ever wit
messed. The grounds of the doctors residence
were Illuminated by Chinese lanterns, but, be-
yond that. no attempt was made at outward
demonstration.
The postmaster general and Mrs. Key ar
rived at $3.50 p. M, being accompanied by the
rest of the party. Almost as soon as
they formed in the drawing-room, a
perfect food of visitors poured into the house.
The particularizing of the prominent citizens
attending is utterly superfuous, for the simple
reason that nearly every one of distinguish
ment in the city was present. The 'postoffice
party" as it may be termed, mingled freely
with the guests, and We're as happy as could be.
The guests were especially unanimous in their
expressions of the beauty of the North Star
State, the postmaster general saying that this.
his first visit to the Northwest had enlarged
hiss ideas as to the capabilities of the region.
The evening was passed in pleasant converse
with the visitors, and the perfect informality
of the occasion and the complete cordially
prevailing rendered the reception one of the
pleasantest that could we'll be imagined.

Straits Steals.
LIE Sueur Sentinel. /

The st. Peter investigation is developing the
kind of timber the Republicans are supporting
for Congress in the Second district. Major Strait
rides on his pass to St. Peter and charges the
State full fare, as well as making Construct
ive' charges for time, which amounts to down
right robbery.-St. Paul Globe.
That is matter of taste, to some extent,
although person of fine sensibilities might
have acted upon higher plane than Strait
did. But the Objectionable conduct on the
part of Strait, that which should condemn
him effectually, is that as one of the trustees
of the hospital, he not only tolerated the
abuses of the public trust, but he was one
of the worst to disregard the plain letter of
the law, which positively forbids the trustees
from taking anything more for their SER
vices than actual expenses and he did not
even stop with taking $4 and SIS per day
illegally for himself, but drew between $50
and $40 for expenses of two friends who
accompanied him on his official visits. If
he will stoop to such little steals, what will
he not do?
