Col. Garter sold only a Few hun
dreds of the logs, Negotiations are
in progress, however, which are
expected to terminate in a few days
in the sale Of all the logs held ly

complimented for having SUCCESS
fully taken the Dix to Lake Charles,

cred hardly possible of accomplish
ment.

his wife were found stiff and cold in death s
embrace. The motive for this terrible deed
can only be attributed to the age of Mr..
Wilson, and to the hallucination that his
wife was not as true to him as she should
have been. 1t also appears that a we'll

ascertained that the old man visited her

Authorizations i'm Sugar.


NatlOnal Associated Press to the Star.
New York, Dec. 26.-Prof. Chandler and
DR.. Ricketts, say: 1--WE have carefully ex-
amined number of samples of refined
coffee and yellow sugar, most of which was
taken from original barrels In several of
these sugars we found tin, salts and free
acids probably muriatic, and in two of
them artificial glucos. While The amount
of tin and acid found in some was small,
yet the small globule of metal obtained
from two pounds of sugar in any case is not
an excuse for the addition of tin and salts
to sugars. They are used solely for the
purpose of defrauding the consumer by de-
ceiving him as to the grades of sugar; and
while in Some cases the quantity adds ID
may be too small to be injurious in other
cases it may be sufficient to cause derange-
ment of the system"
The Board of Health has directed the
Sanitary Superintendent to cause an analy-
sis to be made from time to time of the
sugars and syrups sold in this city.
