TERRIBLE RESULT FROM A THIEF
TRAMP.

News has just reached this city OF q
horrible and fatal case Of wholesale
poisoning at Elk Garden, Russell county,
in the Southern part Of the State.
1t appears that Mrs. Martha Micalitor, a
well-known farmers wife, had been
much annoyed of late by thieves stealing
large quantities of butter. She be-
thought herself of plan to stop the re-
peated thefts. and it was this: She but
strychnine into all the rolls of certain
firkin, and placed the frkin in a con-
venient place for the robbers one night
recently.
The firkin was promptly stolen, and
Mrs. Micalitor was satisfied that the
thieves would die. But oh, horrible! in
stead OF the the thieves eating the butter
they sold it! 1t was broadcast through
the country. Mr. Jackson, a very prom
inent planter. purchased several rolls of
it yesterday, and supposing it all right.
the servant placed it on his supper table,
where there were twelve persons at the
repast, of whom four died in few hours
after eating the butter. They were An
drew, Joseph and James Jackson, three
brothers, and Miss Alice Gatewood, who
| happened to be guest of the Misses
Jacsson; besides, three other persons at
the table were taken dangerously i'll,
among them young lawyer, who was
paying attention to Miss Alice Gate

The greatest excitement prevails in the
county. N.ither the thieves who stole
and sold the poisoned butter, nor the

THE GRAVE OF HARRY MEIGGs.

A Lima correspondent has been max.
ing the trip over the Oroya Railroad
across ihe And-s, and is naturally filled
with enthusiasm in his description of
that great work, In the course of his
trip h. arrived at the country seat of the
eldest son of the late Harry Meiggs. OF
it he says:

RaiIroad, about three miles from Callao.

I walk up shady path festooned by
roses and willows to the gateway in the
huge cas!ls-like walls that surround the
house itself. Passing beneath an iron
grated archway l mount two flights OF
stairs, pass another grated door. and
only then find myself on level with the
garden. A brief fight OF steps brings
me onto the great porch, twenty feet
wide, that sweeps round the house. The
latter, one-storied building of some
twenty rooms is, therefore, built upon a
terrace, one of the Indian mounds
scattered over the country so profusely.
and has consequently magnificent
view in every direction. To the south
and west stretches the blue Pacific, to
the south and east the long ranges of the
Andes pile up one behind the other. on

the river itself winding like ribbon of

hour the cars from Lima or Callao glide
past, giving to the landscape the one

THE GREAT RACE.

Mollie McCarty hos reached Louis
vile, Kentucky, safely and in good ccn-
dition. The horse-men in the East are
greatly excited over the little wonders
arrival and are already betting on the
resnlt Of the race. Ten Brock has
made better time than Mollie ever has
lin public), but then Mollie never yet
lost heat or a purse, and don't bnow
what it is to have a horse pass her;
while it is said that Ten Brock is big
coward and that he gives up when
horss out-foots him. The Sacramento
Bee gives some statistics regarding the
stock and performances of the two
horses as follows:
MoIlie McC .rty was sired by Monday,
dam Hennie Farrow. ty imported Sham
rock. She is owned by Theodore Win
ters, is five years old and carries 112
pounds
Ten Broeck WAS sired by imported
Pbeton, dam Fannie Holton, by Lex
ington. He ls owned by Frank Harper
of Kentucky and carries 11S pounds.
While Ten Brock has record of the
best time, it is claimed by Mollie's back
ers that in private the mare has made
much better time than is officially credit
ed to her. The time of Ten Broeok is as
follows: Four miles. 7:1524; three miles.
:25H; two miles, 3:27; one mile, 1894
THIS record, also of fact, was not made
in race, but against time. Molli-'s
record is as follows: Four miles, 1884 ;
two miles, 3:36A; one mile, I.43. She
has never run a three-mile.h race,
and the above time was made in regular
races. In New York, Louisville and St.
Louis, Ten Broeok is the favorite. al
though Mollis viii! have strong back
ing in Louisville from the horse.men
who oppose MIR. Harper, the owner OF
Ten Brock. In racing matters Chicago
turfmen lean strongly to the support ol
Mollie; and the little mare will have q
heavy backing on this coast.
