AdulteratiOn Of Groceries.

THE Massachusetts Board of Health
reports that authorizations of staple gro
ceries are not as common as the public
have been led to suppose. For the pur-
pose of test, the expert of the Board
took samples of flour, sugar, bread
soda, cream of tartar and baking pow
ders, obtained in stores in forty cities
and towns. The flour was found in all
instances to be wholly free from foreign
substances, and, with the exception of
one or two coarse varieties of brown
sugar, no adulteration was perceptible
in that article; and in these isolated
cases there was reason for thinking that
the defects were due to imperfections
in the process of manufacture. The
soda examined, although sold under a
variety of names, such as saleratus, BIZ
carbonate, and cooking
soda, was all found to be much the same
article, and nearly all of it good. The
poor soda was that which had not been
properly purified of the crude soda ash,
but this sulphate is not injurious to
health. Baking powders were found to
be pure in twenty-four instances out of
thirty-three The adulteration con-
sisted in an excess of flour or starch
over that needed for mixing the soda
and cream or tartar. There was also
some alum found. In cream of tartar a
considerable amount of adnlteration
was detected.

A Narrow Escape From the GalIows.

I remember once defending, at
Charlottesville, Ind.;,'' said Senator
Voorhees,. ia man named 0wen,sin-
dicted for the murder of his wife, by
poison It was twenty odd years ago.
Owen was respectable farmer, in good
circumstances and a consistent church
member. He had been twice married.
He had several children by his first
wife; his second was childless, cir
cumstance which peculiarly affected her
mind and temper. She would not per-
NIT his children to reside with her, and
compelled him to find home for them
elsewhere. She had frequently threat
ened suicide in consequence of these
troubles. Il. r,
lone night Owen was awakened from
sleep to find her dying. He called in
assistance and sent for physician,
but she was dead before any one ar
rived. Her sudden demise excited sus-
picion, and three days after her burial
this was communicated to him by a
friend, who further informed him that
arrangements had been made to disin-
ter the body and submit it to investi-
CATION. Owen was greatly agitated at
this intelligence. and after short
pause replied: If this is done and
poison is found in Kezia's stomach |
will be accused of her murder, con
victed and hanged. But am as inno-
cent of it as that tree pointing to one
near which the conversation occurred.
g That night he transferred all his
property to son, disguised himself and
fed the country. The body Of his wife
was exhumed and an autopsy had.
Enough strychnine was fo1nd in her
stomach to kill mule. There was
universal expression of horror at the
discovery. and large reward was
offered for the arrest of the fugitive

self defended him. There was 4 form
liable prosecution Lew. Wallace, Judge
Gregory and otheTs appearing against
him. 1t was proved thata short time be-
fore Mrs. Owens death her husband
had purchased strychnine at a drug
store in the neighborhood; telling the
druggist that he wanted it for poison
ing rats. But he asked that il should
be charged to him, a fact upon which
we laid great stress in the argument,
insisting that had he entertained .
criminal design in buying the drug he
would not have put the damnable evi-
denee of the fact upon record. "A daugh-
ter who was visiting her fathers house
when the poison was brought home tes-
titled that he handed it to her step
mother in her presence, cautioning her
to be careful with it. A brother of his
wife, who was greatly embittered against
him, and was a witness for the State,
admitted upon cross-examination that
Owens treatment of his sister was in
variably considerate and kind.
80 This is all we had to base a defense.
The odds were fearful. There was the
remark of the marked hesitation of
Owen when first informed of the suspi-
cions existing against him; his admis-
sion that if a post morton examination
showed that poison was the cause of his
wife's death, he would be accused of
administering it and hinged; his pur-
chase Of the poison; his transfer of his
property and flight, all combined, near
ly irresistibly led to the conviction of
his guilt. MR. Voorhees,, he said to
me, however darkly things may APP
pear against me, am not guilty. and l
believed him. We fought the case like
tigers upon the reasonable doubt which
we deemed the evidence had got ex-
cluded and won it.
O',--Sueh an uproar as followed l never
witnessed. Owen was taken to Will
sons private residence, pursued by u
crowd crazed with disappointment and
thirsting for his blood. Wilson, Nc
Donald and L stood at the front gate
with pistols in our hands and checked
the approach of the mob until Owen
could escape from the rear of the house
in conveyance that had been provided
for him.
"Owen went to Texas and died there,

heard of him since. His wife had COM
mitted suicide. He knew it, but pre-
ferred to keep the fact to himself to
