The Jane Moselcy, on its excursion trip to
Point Lookout on Sunday last, encountered a
water.spout near Britton Bay. As this is q
sight rarely offered the passengers who board
our river steamers, it created no little intercs
1t was first observed about two miles from
Brtton Bay, and was closely watched by the
excursionsts, who crowded the upper decks
and every available space on the steamer that
afforded favorable view. 1t took u sort of
circular course at first, and then gradually de.
sccnding to the water, burst with n loud report,
forcing the water at least fifty feet high. As
the spray danced in its ascent and returned to
the surface it presented an aquatic sight sell

THE COOKS REYENG n,
An Alleged Attempt by u Servant to Poison
her Mistress.


There was considerable furry in the family
of Mr.. Elias Heidenheimer jeweer and pawn
broker, living at the southeast corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and Thirteenth street, yes.
terday morning, owing to the discovery of
what is believed to have been an attempt to
poison the wife of Mr.. Heidenheimer. At the
breakfast table, when coffee was served Mrs.
Heidenheimer noticed in her cup a strange,
bitter taste, and set down her coffee without
drinking it. She suspected that IL had been
poisoned, and the coffee was sent to q neigh
boring drug store for inspection. The report
was that it contained some kind of acid, but
to obtain satisfactory result the fluid would
have to be analysed by a chemist. An appl.
cation was made to Dr. Antisel, but he de-
clned TO analyze the mixture. Finally
tho services of DR.. Dc Smcdt, the Dis
trict chemist, were secured and the sus-
picious coffee was left with him. Dr.
De Smedt last evening gave as the result of
his examination that the mixture contained
six grains of oxaic acid aud two ounces of
fluid coffee. Mr.. Heidonleimer made known
the facts ut Police Headquarters, and at eight
o'clock last night Detectives Miller and Nc
Elfrosh visited Mr.. Heidenheimer's house and
arrested tho colorcd servant, woman named
Mary f. Richardson. The woman expressed
knew nothing about the poison. reporter
of THE REPUBLICAN also visited the house
aud from Mrs. Heidenheimer and other mem.
bors of the family gathered the following facts
concerning the matter: Sunday evening Mrs.
Heidcnhcimor wanted to go TO q wedding, talk
ing all her children with her except the baby.
She requested the servant to stay in the house
and tako care of the baby. Tho
woman replied that she wanted to
go to church, and did not care about looking
after the baby upon which there were some
sharp words between the mistress and the
servant. The result was that the colored
woman was allowed to 20 to church, but in a
very unpleasant frame of mind, aud one of
Mrs. Hedenhemor's daughters was left at
home aud charged with the responsibility of
guarding the infant. The servant exhibited a
sulky aud spiteful disposition, which imme-
diately subjected her to suspicion after the dis
coyery of tho attempt to poison the coffee. 1t
is part of her duties to got breakfa fast for the
| family, aud she was Mt herpost yesterday morn,
| ing The family were seated about the table, and
Mary served the coffee, all being served before
Mrs. Heidenhcimer, who had charge Of the
baby. When she lifted her cup and slipped
| the liquid, she discovered the presence of the
| acid at once, and fortunately swallowed only a
very little quantity Of tho mixture. Mrs.

Anybody can learn to make money rapidly
operating in stocks by "The Two Unerring Rules
for success" in Messrs. Lawrence & Os new circu-
lar The combination method, which this firm
has made so successful, enables people with large
or small means to reap oil the benefits of largest
capital and best skill. Thousands of orders in
various sums are pooled into one vast amount and
co-operated as n mighty whole, thus securing TO
each stakeholder al the advantages of the largest
operator. Immense profits are divided monthly.
Any amount, from IS to S. 900 or more can be used
successfully. New York Baptist Weekly, September
&C. 1873, says: 'By the combination system SIS
would make $50, or per cent; $50 pays $3.50 or
per cent; 500 makes 81 900 or 10 per cent on the
stock during the month, according to the market"

IL had been predicted for n much earlier hour
by all our weather prophets and we awaited
ITS advent with moro of faith and cheer
fuluess than could reasonably have
been expected. After dinner, however, we
began quite generally to make ourselves mis-
cradle. Our teut.shelters served well their
purpose, but the long continuance of the storm
at last reduced us to common state ofhumidity
and stickiness, which promise to be followed by
night of great discomfort. Now the north
west wind is blowing fresh and chill through
the tree tops, the declining sun is picturing
tue tent covers with lcafy shadows. A dozen
roaring fires have becu started in the camp,
each being tho ccutre Of u cheerful circle of
campers, aud all things arc contributing to
recovery of our oquanimity.
