MILK MYSTERY.
Suspicious Sickness Following a Drink o
the Lacteal.


the Lacteal.
A mysterious case of poisoning came to
light yesterday morning, the circumstances
of which have not yet been fully developed,
while the suspicious nature of the affair
should call for q prompt and thorough in
vestigation.
The poisoning is supposed to have result
ed from impregnated milk, the drinking of
which almost resulted in the death of q lady
named Mrs. Davis, residing at the corner of
Ninth and Exchange streets.
AT an early hour, yesterday morning. the
health Office was visited by lady who in
formed Officer Patterson that Mrs. Davis,
residing at the above named location, had
been poisoned by drinking milk, and that
she had suffered terribly throughout the
night with the most acute cramps.
The visitor produced small vial contain
ing about gill of milk from the same ves-
sci as that drank by Mrs. Davis, requesting
that it be subjected to an analysis.
Health Officer Patterson called at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Davis, and short conversa-
ton resulted in the following information
On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Davis receiv-
ed two quarts of milk from Charles Linneau,
milk dealer residing next door to the Davis
residence, none of which was used until to.
wards evening, when Mrs. Davis drank one
or two glasses of the milk A short time
after drinking the milk she was taken with
violent cramp in the stomach, and after q
few simple remedies had been tried it oc.
Cured to the sufferer that she had been
poisoned.
As the pain constantly increased, Mrs.
Davis concluded that she could only find re-
lief by vomiting, to accomplish which she
swallowed two spoonfulls of mustard, which
caused her to vomit up the milk, and re-
lieved the pain. The cramp continued in a
modified form, throughout the night, and as
nothing had been eaten to produce such q
result, she naturally concluded that the milk
had been drugged.
The flavor of the milk is said to have
been very perceptbly bitter, and if drugged,
the bitterness could only have arose from
the existence of strychnine, while it migAt
have resulted from vegetable matter eaten
by the COW. The sample was taken to DR..
Mattocks who thought the examination
scarcely worth the expense, in addition to
which he had no appliances by which to
make the analysis.
Mrs. Davis is said to be peaceable wo-
man, and good neighbor, having few if
any enemies, and the reasons for perpetrat-
ing such an act of diabolism are enveloped
in profound mystery.

FIGURES
For the Reputation Ring OF Tennessee
that has LIbeIed the Supreme Court
and Traduced All the Public Men
OF the state, since Hts Admis-
sion to the Union.

Chattanooga Times: ''The advocates of
low-tax and partial reputation in this State
have frequently referred to the example set
by Alabama in her settlement with her cred
itors, as precedent for the action proposed
by them. An Alabama correspondent, who
has a fondness for figures, writes to the
Nashville american, and shows how little
ground there is for comparison, and how
the low-tax advocates suffer by it. The fig
ures OF this correspondent show that Tennes-
see, should she follow the example of Ala
bama, will pay more than her creditors ask
her to pay. Figures will not lie, In which
respect they no-wise resemble politicians,
and this correspondent proves automatically
that Tennessee can accept the terms offered
by her creditors, and do better than Alabama
did in her settlement Here are the figures,
and no comment is necessary: Alabama's
assets Tor wealthy is $50, geo, 900; her iabil-
tiles are $50, 000,00 She compromises at
$10,000,000. The assets of Tennessee are
$500, 1000, 900; her liabilities are So, 200, 900.
Now, if Alabama, with assets of $3.50, 00O,-
600 and liabilities of $30,Q00,000, pays $10,-
600, 900, what ought Tennessee, with assets
Of $500, 900, 900 and liabilities of only $685.
/ 100000, to pay? 1t is oaly plain PROPOSE
ton In compound proportion, or double rule
of three IT l am correct IN my view OF
the subject, Tennessee will pay 1879 millions
of her $25, 000, 600. which is $16, 666 666 66ss.
We know that it will take So per, cent. of
the assets of the State of Alabama to pay
$4,000, 900; and, if you levy the same on the
assets of Tennessee, it will make Tennessee
pay $4,000, 600. But, say B holds bonds on
the State of Alabama for 10000, 900, and
holds bonds against Tennessee for $25, 000.-
900, Alabama pays him $4,000, 600. Now,
In double proportion, what should Tennessee
pay B on his bondsp SIC, 666, 666 66ss. For
proof, reverse the operation. If Tennessee
will pay on her assets and liabilities the
In
bama pay on her assets and liabilities.

improvements ON the jackson Road.
New Orleans Times: ''The vice president
of the Jackson railroad has decided to re-
sumo work ballasting the line between this
point and Canton on the first OF April prox-
lmo; The company has two gravel pits, one
at Brookhaven and one at Chatawa, each of
fair quality of gravel, from which last season
about fifty miles of the southern division of
the road was ballasted, when the work was
interrupted by the fever. It is proposed now
to work steam shovel at Chatawa, and
contract has been made with parties from
Jackson. Mississippi, to load from fifty to
one hundred cars daily from the pit at Brook
haven. If the weather is favorable to con-
struction during the coming summer one
hundred more miles at least will be ballasted
this season. The track across the swamp has
been raised nearly two feet, and is now
eighteen inches above the highest water for
many years. Other expensive improvements
have been made to the line. Over eight
hundred thousand new cross-ties have been
put upon the road by its present owners, and
nearly thirty-two thousand tons of new rails,
of which twenty thousand tons are steel. It
Is proposed during the present year to add
about three thousand tons to this figure,
making total of thirty-fve thousand tons,
corresponding to three hundred and eighty
six miles of road absolutely relaid by the
present owners. The company has extended
its line from Fillmore to East Cairo, and the
transfer is now made-from the time of ar
rival of thestram at East Cairo to its being
attached to the st. Louis train on the Cairo
side-in twenty-five minutes, thus saving
more than one hour over the previous te-
dious transit from Fillmore"

Kansas is one of the strongest Republican
States in the Union. For years the people
of this State have been shedding tears over
the cruelty of the southern whites toward the
colored outlaws, but the annals of history do
not furnish a parallel to the ferocity which
was melted out to this negro IN Kansas. Sim
liar crimes have caused the Indignation and
wrath of the southern people to break into
explosions of lynch law; but this sort of ven-
geance has always been condemned by the
Republicans of Kansas, and attributed to a
hatred of the negro. Had the south wreaked
such revenge upon a monster, our people
would have been stigmatized as brutes COM
hitting hideous and atrocious cruelty upon
the outlaw simply because his skin was black.
Human nature is the same everywhere, and
similar crimes will arouse the savage sleep
ing in the hearts of men in all sections of the
Union. Kansas, with all her Radicalism and
pretended love for the negro, does not hesi-
tate to lynch negro culprit or to remon-
strate against the immigration of the negro
into their State when they discover he is
nuisance instead of an accession to society.
