Another Case OS Arsenic Poisoning.
 ROCHESTER, March 18.-An Important case has been before the Circuit Court here the last two days, viz, Sarah H. Miller, of Fair port, in this county, against the Western New York Life Insurance Company of Batavia, to recover $4,0O0, the amount of a policy on Mr- Miller's life, payable to plaintiff. The defense is that Mrs. Miller poisoned her bus band. To-day the defendants called Prof. Latimore of Rochester University, who swore that he found arsenic in the intsstines of Miller. Mrs, Eliza Otto swore that she was servant in the Miller family, and short time before MT. Miller's death, Mrs. Miller told her (Mrs. Otto) that she would give the latter S1OO to help make away with her husband, that she did not love him and never had, and If she could put something in his drink or marry anothsr man whom she did love.

THE NATIONAh CAPITAL.

TEe Ute ScttIement.---Chief Ourayss
 Opinien of 1t.
 WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The Committee on Indian Affairs continued to-day the exam nation of Chief Ouray. He was questioned as to whether the agreement lately entered into by the Government and the Utes was satisfactory to him and would be to his peo- pie. In reply he stated that inasmuch as he had fitted up ranch at good deal of trouble and expense he would prefer not to move of the reservation but whatever would be satis- factory to his people would be satisfactory to him. He desired to return to the reservation as soon as possible in ordsr to obtain the opinion of his people in regard to the agree ment. There might be some difficulty in per suading some of them to move from their present reservation, but if it was explained to them that not all Of them would have to move from Colorado he thought that they would accede to the arrangement. It seemed to him the best thing they could do in order to maintain peace. Ourays wife and the Ute chief Sowawioh were pres ent during the examination and manifested the deepest interest in all that happened. Ouray was asked if he did not fear the whites would swindte his people and eventually get their lands away from them if the proposed arrangement of granting them lands in sev- crafty is carried into effect? He replied, laughing sfAs I understand the agreement with the Secretary, the lands are to be in alienable for twenty-five years, and I think my people will learn something by that time. If not, they ought to lose them"
 The committee decided to lay aside all oth- 1 CT business and go on with the examination, and hope to complete it in two days. The ne- cessity of employing an interpreter renders l the examinations tedious one aside from the | fact that Ouray uses the utmost delibsration, watching closely the stenograper and evident l ly weighing each word carefully. The con- 1 mittee adjourned till 10 8. m. tomorrow.
 It has been decided by the Interior de- | pertinent that it is not necessary for Ouray | and the other Ute chiefs to go to assist in l preserving the peace. Ouray to day received | a dispatch from the acting chief of his nation l saying that everything was quiet.
 Penalties for Illegal Acts of Vessels.
 WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The House | Committee on Ways and Means agreed to- day to strike out the word ''seizurs' in the l Senate bill to amend the law relative to the | seizure and forfeiture of vessels for breach | of the revenue laws, and ordered the | bill thus amended to be reported ia vorably to the House. It provides that no vessels used by any persons as common car riers shall be subject to forfeiture unless it shall appear that the owner or master was party or privy to tho illegal act. | The effect of the amendment will be to leave the law relative to the seizure of vessels still in force, but the bill protects them from for feiture.

 NEW YORK, March 18.-The Graphic this afternoon publishes the substance of a com m- municatlon from resident of Concord, N. H., ''wen known in business and social circles there,' containing some startling charges re- garding the cruelties in the New Hampshire prison. The article alleges starvation and inhuman brutality. Gases are cited where men were confined in chains in the solitary cell and beaten. One Joseph J. Mason, who, it is stated, WAS sick and had eaten nothing for three days, refused to go to work He WAS beaten, locked up in the solitary cell, chained down to the ring bolt, handcuffed, shsckled and allowed the privileges of beast only for moro than a week, and fed during this time on six ounces of brown bread and piut of water once only in twenty-four hours. One John H. Canney was tied up to brick post and whipped till the blood spurted over the floor and then locked up in the solitary cell for twenty-one days. Other instances of similar cruelties are cited.

Cruel Fox Hunting.


 PoUGHKEEPs1E, March 1S.-The Berean brothers, John Lent and Levi McMulIen few days ago started cut on hunt. The dogs struck the trail of fox and ran him into a Assure of ledge, where he was found firmly wsdged by the hips. All four of the hunters vainly endeavored to extricate the animal. It was becoming dark, and the party concluded to return to the woods the following morning with Q crowbar and pick. At sunrise the par ty was on had. So was the fox, alive and well. Several vigorous blows with slsdge hammer failed to loosen the rocks. 4 strap from a hunting bag was wound around the forslegs of the fox and also around the crow bar. Two of the hunters took hold of the end of the crowbar and used it as a lever. The forslegs of the fox were literally wrenched out from the sockets. To put an end to it's mis- cry it was shot.

No little excitement was oceasioned last Sat
urday evening, by rumor that man IN Wo'
mans clothing was prowling around town, and
endeavoing to set fire to house. The mas
querader was given chase but eluded his pur'
suers. He is still an enigma.
One evening last week, three men, Bitter,
Fowler, a weak m inded but wicked fellow, and
- helped themselves to several thousand
feet of lumber from the canal wharf loaded II
on boat and set sail. The theft was witnessed
| by some one who informed the owners OF the
| lumber. The thieves were captured and taken
| before the justice. Two Of them gave bail i1i
their appearance at court and the other, Fowler
was aken to the county jail.

the 29th inst. There is to be parade to the
cemetery to decorate the graves of soldiers, aho

the evening there will be temperance dIam'
played by the P. o. S. of A. in U. f. Hall
Judging by rehearsal your correspondent
heard, the affair will be a success.
A meeting of citizens was held last Wedne'
day evening in the o. F. Hall, for the purpos
of contr ibutiug aid to the Milton sufferers
Right literally did the town respond. The EN-
ployees of the works gave each days wage
