I}E0OKLYN EAGLE"

6pse1ai D1spateh to The Chicago 7+h1sns.
NEW York, Dec. 1.-THE Brooklyn Eagle
tonight discusses the downfall of Kelly at
some length edttorialiy. It holds that one
real reason wlly he lost his power was the at
tempt to control his position of organizing
newspaper syndicate, which at once found
Itself antagonizcd By other sheets which
might, under other circumstances, havo
been partially friendly to him. Mr.. Kelly
seemed to think that because in dealing with
political Boss the opposition papers treated
him as an individual he was therefore justi-
ned In using his newspapers in assailing the
private lives Of his newspaper opponents.
The E"9lc says: 1.-The personal attack made
upon the proprietor of the Herald was
public scandal III SO far as it could be forced

HIS RECEPTION AT PATERSON, N. j.
Special Dspateh to The Ehteaao Trtb1sne-
NEW York, Dec. 11.-At his reception at
Paterson, N. J., tonight, Gen. Grant made
the following remarks:
I am indeed under many obligations to
you, one and all, for the hosptaiitles
you have extended to me- this day. 1t
has Afforded great pleasure TO visit
the industries Of your city, which go
SO far to make up the grandeur Of
the grandest Nation which the sun shines on,
and the only one where it is comparatively easy
for man to rise from poverty to attluence and
from any. position to the highest in society.
Your industries are indeed great, and I hope
that they will continue TO fucrenso. myself
come from the Northwest, from the ny
ricultural part of the country, which
has been growing grain very extensively,
and will continue to increase the volume Of our
production. With all this immense production,
however, there arc continually being made new
improvements in agricultural machinery, in
machinery which shortons the labor
In the field, so TINT, despite the
increase In production, the demand for
labor has not Increased in proportion, In the
future it will continue as it hns beeH in the
pnst, and It je necessary that this saved
and unemployed labor should find a
market somewhere. Paterson has done a
great deal to supply this Market and
it deserves praise therefor. Other cities would
do well to follow In hor footsteps, and the time
will come when the prosperity Of city will de-
p.nd upon its industries. Everything should
be done to encourage the introduction of
the spindle and the trtphammcr, and
the manufacture Of machinery and products Of
every description. It is also OF great assistance
to us to. have IN outlet for our manufact-
ures,-to have q channel through which
we can send to the markets Of others
the products which we manufacture but do
not consume. myself have been Interested in
this matter, and hnve done what Icoud. havo
succeeded in interesting capitalists and forming
a railroad connection between here and Mexico.
which regard as the great future market for
our products When I visited that country
some years ago gained HI impression, which I
was only confirmed by d more recent VISIT that
that was tho place to dispose Of goods which we
manufactured, and did not consume, and |
from which to. receive products that |
were not consumed in that country. |
What the country wants is
healthy commerce between nations must, in |
conclusion, congratulate Paterson upon what |
she has donc / hope that her prosperity and |
her industries will increase, and that she will |
nud profitable market for all she can make.
Gen. Grant was frequently interrupted |
with applause, and when he resumed his |
seat he received three hearty cheers.

that he waited for weeks to give Doyle an
opportunity to tell the story, but the latter
was indisposed to do so. and Brockway, after

which has been quietly going the rounds
among the opponents Of Gen. Harrison broke
out to day in a weekly paper published in
this city to the effect that the State Central
Committee had paid the General S135 to cover
expenses during the recent campaign. In an
interview touching the matter he said: u
never presented q bill to the State Central
Committee for expenses, nor suggested nor
hlnted that expected to, and neither Mr.
New nor Mr. Riley nor any one else con-
nected with the Committee will. say did.
/ not only paid my own expenses
IN Indiana. except hotei~bili here
and there through the State, which the
local Committee settled. but spent about $1&
in Illinois and New York after our Stats
campaign was concluded, for which l hare
not been reimbursed. This rumor, think,
started in this way: One day l met Mr. New
OH the street in company with newspaper
man. / asked Mr.. New if the COMMITTEES
paid the expenses OF visiting speakers.
Every cent of thetn,' he replied. Well
that's better than they did for me in Illinois

was all that was said" An effort has been

GOV. RObinSOn's Death.

DENVER, Nov. 20.-That the shooting of
Gov. Robinson was accidental is now evil
dent from post-mortem examination, which
shows but one shot fired. The ball in its
course through the door struck nail and
split and carried pieces of the nail with it,
thus causing the four wounds, supposed to
have been caused by other shots. There
had been disagreement with the miners
for few days, which caused belief
in the first report of riot
and assassination. 1t is known now there
was nothing of this nature whatever con-
nected with the affair and. the miners deep
ly regret the sad result of the terrible MIS-
take of the guard.
Gov Robinson's remains will lie in state
at Lcadville tomorrow, at Denver Wednes-
day and then be taken to his former home
in Michigan for burial.

Poisoned.
Paducah Enterprise

Paducah is not town proverbal for big
items, and the rumor that whole family
were poisoned raised an excitement yester-
day that was of an unusual order. The
first news of the disaster came to the ears
OF an Enterprise reporter early in the after
noon, and on hearing that DIR. Singleton
had been called in to attend the sufferers,
be at once started to learn the particulars,
which are below given. The victims are
Mr.. p. $. Givan, car inspector of the p g.
e. r., and his two sons, aged respec-
ftiyely three and seven years, and from
what can be CLEANED, it appears
that they were poisoned by dried beef
Which they had eaten at dinner. Mr. Given
and family reside near the depot, and the
reporter who called there last evening
found the victims suffering greatly from the
effects of the poison. Mr.. Given's family
consisted of himself, wife and three chill
dren, but only he and his two Oldest chill
dren partook of the beef. Mr.. Given was
compelled to leave his work about o'clock
in the afternoon, owing to deathly sick
ness which came over him, accompanied
by excessive vomiting. On his arrival
home he found one of his children
suffering in the same manner, and
shortly afterwards the Oldest boy came
home from school in exactly the same con-
dltion. DR.. Singleton was at once called in,
and after q short time succeeded in reliev-
ing, to some extent, the excruciating agony
of the sufferers DR.. Singleton stated to
the reporter that the poisoning was un-
doubtedly caused by the beef, but whether
from the beef itself or from the mould, or
fungus growth on the outside of the piece
of meat, he could not state. The condition
of the victims, at the time the reporter
called last evening" was quite serious,
although the attending physician has no
fears Of any of the cases resulting fatally.
This should be warning to people who
are in the habit Of eating cured meat with
out first cookingit, for cases wherein whole
families are poisoned from eating uncook-
ed meats, or from trichina are very fire.
quent, No meat is healthy unless properly
cooked, and it is surprising that the cases
are not more numerous, when the careless
ness of the people in this respect is consid-
cred.

A Distardly Crime.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 29.-Readers will
remember the details OF bloody and un-
provoked murder of negro girl while lying
helpless in sick bed some months ago, in
the northeastern part of the city. The per-
petrator ofthe crime has successfully hidden
his footsteps until this morning, when he
attempted to get rid of the remainder of
the family, and was almost caught in the
act.
Early this morning a colored woman and
her daughter were found weltering in their
blood In their bayou in the northern part of
the city. The screams Of the old woman at
tracted the attention Of passers-by, when it
was discovered that double murder had
been attempted on her and her daughter.
The latter was knocked sense
less, but the old lady had life enough left
to alarm the neighborhood and thus lead
to the identity of the murderer. Her head
had been beaten in shapeless mass, and
when found she was insenslble. Her
daughters teeth we're crushed in and for
some time she defed all efforts at resusci-
tation. They declared that a man and
woman, or man dressed as woman, were
their assailants and the description given
led to the arrest of colored man named
Trice this morning, from whom confess
sion of the murder of three months ago
was extorted. The colored population are
strongly in favor of the lynching OF Trice,
and if the confession be in any way cor
roborated that will probably be the result.

Hamburg seems luxurious by the side

few with rich furniture even. A family
seems seldom to have more than two
servants. In some houses Of wealthy
merchants, have seen the dining-room
furnished with beds in curtained al
coves, so contracted is the accommoda-
ton. And in nearly all, some Of the
sitting-rooms are turned into bedrooms

have place in which to chat with his
