away to look under the house, stated
that the sickness was caused by foul
water and dampness under the house,
for the banking has since been taken
away and we find no dampness or mould
whatever. Still more absurd is the
theory that Paris green which was put
on piece of potatoes 80 or 40 rods
away from the brook has washed into
the stream and thus poisoned the chill
dren. On high knoll about three rods
above where the children got their. wa
ter, and 40 feet from the brook a dead
horse was buried by Horace Cheney,
and to his carelessness and ignorance
we attribute the sickness of these chill
dren. The grass between where the
horse is buried and the brook, is several
inches higher than that surrounding.
There is drain down the hill from
Cheney's barn-yard into the brook,
which does not help the matter any.
The water from this brook which was
sent for analysis was found to contain
25 3-5 grains of animal and vegetable
poison to the gallon, enough to kill a
healthy man. The town authorities
should follow this up and if any one is
to blame let him suffer- And it would
also be wise to use more soap and
adopt a few sanitary measures in this
district.

A Startling Threat from the So

Mark Gray Declared to be Insane.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, May S.
The coroner's jury this afternoon
rendered a verdict in accordance with
the above facts, and stated that while
the cause ofthe descent of the elevator
could not be determined they believe
if the conductor had not left his post
the accident would not have occurred.
They deprecate the system requiring
conductors to leave their stations
when passengers are on the elevators.
Socialist leaders here assert that they
with the trades unions are organizing
a strike, to begin July 9th and to be
general throughout the country. They
will demand the universal adoption of
the eight hour system and will settle
the matter of wages after their de-
mands on that point. are aeceded to.
This strike has been decided on in
their privy councils, but is no secret.
Their purpose is political in its ma
ture and the purpose of the workmen
is to secure better wages.
The committee of medical experts,
having examined Mark Gray, who shot
at Booth, report that he is insane.

SPEAKING of the composition and
objects of the labor convention at
Vicksburg, the Herald of that city, Of
the 9th inst, says:
The convention is composed of repre-
sentative leading men Of both races. The
largest cotton planters in the world are
members Of it, and some OF the most in
Auential and intelligent colored men in
the States of Tennessee, Arkansas, Lou
isiana and Mississippi are present. We
cannot see why some understanding
should not be arrived at. The planters
are surely desirous that the laborers of
the valley shall have no cause to leave,
and the laborers are surely anxious to
remain in the South IN preference to
removing to the North and West. Thus
the two races are certainly agreed upon
one point, as these are represented in the
convention. The laborei, 10 not want to
leave, and the landowners do not want
them to leave. 1t only remains then to
find out why some of the laborers have
left and why there is great unrest among
Others, and, if possible, to apply the rem
c1y. If the causes of unrest and removal
are in the short crops, low prices, and
general hard times that have swept over
the whole country, it is plainly out of the
power of the convention to remove them
If the causes are Of character on which
an effect can be made by an authoritative
declaration of this body, we believe it will
be done, and that it ought to be done
We believe that the body has met to con.
slider the material welfare of all-land
owners and laborers alike-and that lesser
interests will be subordinated to this great
end. ll

But we regret to learn that he has a

He is therefore in a great quandary
whether to accept or decline. We

A Victory for the wOrkingmen
The New Constitution Doubtless Adopted.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 8.-The re-
turns of the electious as the count has
progressed is a complete surprise. The
city instead of giving ten thousand or
thereabouts against the new constitu-
ton, gives majority of less than two
thousand with the returns nearly com
plete.
Returns from the country are in
complete, but indicate that while Ala
media, Sacramento, Santa Clara and
most of the mining counties have gone
against it, nearly all other agricultural
counties have gone heavily for it. As
far as heard from the city and State
now stand 5000 in favor of adoption,
with a chance of that majority being
materially increased
A disturbance was feared in the city
early in the evening, but was socn
quieted down, merely few fights oc-
curing. The Workingmen are jubi-
liant over what they consider their own
particular victory.
The total vote of the city was 81,
934, being majority against the new
constitution of 1888. No further re-
turns from the interior.

GENERAL PEMBERToN, who sur
rendered Vicksburg to General Grant
on the 4th of July 1863, has lived so
quietly ever since that he has rarely
been heard from. But he has recently
taken up his residence in Philadelphia,
and desires to resume his citizenship.
Speaker Randall has presented his pc
tition asking to be relieved of his po-
litical disabilities, and also bill to
accomplish that result. General
Pemberton will soon publish an at
tack on General J. +. Johnston, of
Virginia, who, he thinks, has misrep-
sented and injured him in official
statements concerning the military op-
erations of the rebellion. While Gen.
Pemberton has not been universally
condemned by the Southern people,
there has always been a lingering sus-
picion that he was not over-anxious to
defend Vicksburg or to get his army
out of the place. 1t is a well estab-
lished principle in military science
that good general always provides, if
possible, an avenue for retreat in the
event of disaster. This, General
Pemberton, knowing that an immense
aud superior force was coming against
him. did not do. lie contented
himself with defending his river front
and permitted Grant to land below
march around in his rear and encircle
the city Pemberton either commit
ted mistake or a crime and it would
be easier to believe it was the former
if he had not made it suit to surren-
der on the Fourth Of July and thus
give greater eclat to Grants victory
when he could have held out little
longer or quit sooner. Whatever hC
may have to say in explanation Of his
conduct will be read with interest
everywhere and given fair considera
ton at the hands Of those who were
identified with the Lost Cause.

coming between the floor and the de-
scending arch of the elevator, was
crushed SO badly that the lady died in
a few minutes.
Thereafter the proprietors of the
house were very reticent and the facts
could only be learned early this morn
ing, and the whole truth will probably
come out for the first time before the
coroner's jury. Mr.. Lightner was with
his wife at the time but was unable to
do anything so quick was the accident

also a motion for a bill for particulars,
