A Bakers Revenge.

Here is case of poisoning which
for wholesale characteristics resem
bles the exploits of Brinviliers. 1t
happened in Paris, and tho poisoner
was baker. Louis Baude, eyed g,
was employed by a NJ. Duboo, ba-
ker living in the Rue ST. Denis.
Baude made the br cad, delivered it
to customers, receiving tho money.
and cheated his employer. This
nefarious business he carried on for
three years, until the bakers wife
found it out in February last. On
being taxed with the theft. BauGe
promised TO reform, but being in
debted for the stolen money, Nine.
Duboc kept back a portion of his
wages and oil the money The work
man received as q present from his
customers. This enragej Baude,
who was determined on revenge.
Having become acquainted with
glass worker, who used arsenic in
h's business, by various pretexts
Baude obtained quite quantity of
it. First he tried the poison on the
bakers hor and killed him. An
other horse was bought by his mas
ter, and the second animal died.
Having thus graduated in ,he bust
ness, Baude then entered into The
scheme # poisoning net only his
master and mistress but all The pco-
pie who were customers for Duboc's
brad. Ia April of this year he
managed to get into the room
where .he cough WIS k.pt. and
poured into i! quantity of arsenic
The effects OF this poisoning were
felt by no lvss than 300 persons.
Fortunately no one died, for the
distribution of the arsenic in so
many ioaves Of bread had been
small. Before the court, which mot
toward the close of last month
Baude declared that he had obtained
arsenic 10 kill rats with, Gnd that
some of it had fallen out of his peck
ct into The dough The Cour d.
Assises of the Seine did not believe
him, and though NJ Lachoud de-
tended him. Baude was condemned
to death. French criminal law in
case Ct this kind does not tako into
account the fact that no one had
died, but Furnishes a man who 10 his
professional calling has The cxcep-
tional opportunity Of committing
any injury. Additional punishment
is meted out in France to q servant
who robs his master. It's doubtful
whether Bande will find much sym
pathy in Paris. 10 New York, how
ever, he might have been very much
admired But then, as is we'll known
Fr"nch people are very peculiar.

THE EASTERN RAILROAD.
The Business OF the Past Year-An Ex-
cellent Showing.

The annual report of the Eastern Railroad
Company shows that the gain in gross earn
ings for the year ending Sept. Both is 16 As
per cent. The increase in expenses is % per
cent. The expenses last year were 50 9-10 per
cent. of gross earnings, and this year are 62
65-100 per cent. of the gross earnings. 1t has
been the policy of the directors to maintain
the road in strictly irst-class condition, in
order to meet the. demands of a largely in
creased traffic. With this end in view, large
expenditures have been made in the main
tenance of the property. The accounts for
expenditures for maintenance of way snd
buildings in 1S79-S0 were $45056O.21. The ex-
pense accounts for maintenance of rolling
stock in 1S79S0 were $243, 1882. The ex-
penses include the cost of four new locomc-
tives, two passenger cars, ono baggage Ger and
20 new freight cars. In pursuance of the
same policy the surplus earnings ($186, 1893. SOY
have been mainly expended in additions to
equipment Twelve passengers cars, one bag
gage car and one parlor car have been added
at a cost of $49,630.01; and 1S1 freight cars and
70 gravel cars, at cost of $40, 1889. The
sum of 6,305.12 has also been expended in
filling the flats owned by the company in
