Testimony in the Po1ua Case.

Appended the reports of number of ply
sicians who have examined the prisoner Polua at
the prison during the present week
"April 18th, 1881.
g To His Honor q. e. Harris, Chief Justice, etc.
SIN: At the request of your Honor TO examine
the prisoner Polua in regard to a disease of the
heart etc, have the honor to reply that cannot
after repeated examinations, discover any organic
disease of the heart. The action of the heart is
regular, and the pulse, from rs to 80 is uniform
Only when Polua becomes somewhat mentally ex-
cited the rate of pulsatons increase, which under
such circumstances is quite common, as l have
frequently experienced the same thing even in the
ordinary examination of healthy and robust men
for life Insurance. etc. II would not be surprising
to me if the often repeated examinations in
various ways and by different persons, which Polua
undoubtedly considers vitality important in regard
to his future fate combined with solitary confine-
ment (the least endurable punishment to Ha-
waiians according to my observation), should
produce change in the circulation of blood, as
cannot help observing that he is, most probably
for the above reasons. not SO strong a man as he
when first him.
60 | have the honor to incose the examinations
of some other medical gentlemen.
Every respectfully,

Explanation Of Murder Committed
sixteen Years Ago.

A strange story In connection with muir
der committed sixteen years ago is con-
tanned In letter from Batesville, Ark.
James Baxter and his wife were cmigrating
to Louisiana In 1865, and fell in with man
calling himself Isaac Young, when near tho
Louisiana boundary line They encamped
one night ut the head Of u lonely glen, when
both the men disappeared The deserted
wife, knowing that her husband had $4,000
in gold on his person, was convinced that
he had been murdered by Young, but all her
efforts to trace him or her husband failed.
She settled herself In little hut close to
the scene Of her husbands disappearance,
and has lived there ever since, waiting for
tidings. Recently she received letter
dated Melbourne, Australia, from n stranger,
stating that man had died there who
passed by the name of Saunders, but papers
he left behind him showed that he was
Isaac Young, an American. The papers in
cluded confession of the murder of Baxter,
and pointing out the place where his body
could be found. He further stated that he
had gone to New Orleans and took passage
to Australia, where he specialized with
great success. At his death he was quite
wealthy, and he directed that Mrs. Baxter
should be searched for, and, If living, paid
$1,000, with interest from the date of the
murder. He also begged forgiveness for his
crime. An investigation proved that the
information was correct ms to the murder
for the remains of Baxter were found in
the glen and dccently buried. Mrs. Baxter
has declined to accept the money, but she
may yet conclude to accept IL If the muir
dorer is actually dead, which many people
doubt

The $4,000 Beauty" Terribly In
tured,

A dispatch from Bowling Green, KY,
says that a frightful railroad accident oc-
Cured there the early part of this week, by
which two men on Forepaugh's special train
were killed, and Louisa Montague, the IA
nous $4,000 beauty, was seriously hurt.
The train came in collision with a freight
train, and the two sleepers were wrecked.
The two men were killed outright. Miss
Montague, who was standing on the plat
form of one of the slecpcrs, was impaled by
a large board of the platform passing
through the calf of one of her limbs, besides
another board piercing her thigh, injuring
her so severely that her life was despaired
of. The left side of her face was greatly
lacerated, a deep cash extending from the
temple to the chin. This last injury, per-
haps, is the worst, because Miss Montaguc's
beauty was her fortune. She has been
lying i'll at the hotel, but was much better
at last accounts.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Tho term "Half.breeds in Republican
politics was originated in Buffalo.
"A Southern journal says Of ex-President
Hayes: Not gone but forgotten"
The Cincinnati Enquirer says that tho
better part of the Republican party was
buried on Monday.
The Utica Observer thinks that the Re-
publican party of Oneida County is becom.
ing public nuisance.
An Ohio authority says that the idea
of Robert Lincoln for II Cabinet position
originated with Garfield himself.
The Philadelphia Times is of opinion
that us Mr.. Conkling's hands are clean he
has right to lead a crusade against bribery.
MIR. Tilden's vindication," says the Ar
kansas Gazette "belongs to history, and will
never come in the guisc of denomination
for President"
The Cincinnati Commercial thinks that
the papers that believe President Arthur has
any animosity against Secretary Window
for opposing him in regard to the collector
ship of New York are not crediting the
President with great qualities.
The Hartford Courdnt advises that in
the organization of the Senate some con-
sideration should be given to the fact that
there is an overplus of semi-lunatics in the
country, and that some Democratic Guiteau
might be tempted to give the country a
Democratic Executive.
The Des Moines (Iowa) Register thinks
it great thing for the benefit of Samuel ]
Randall that he will visit that State during
the political campaign, because he will see
State which has moro school houses and
more Republican votes in proportion to its
population than any other in the Union.
The Boston Erening Trorelier is Re-
publican journal which has been consist
emily Stalwart and not much given to SEN
timentality. 1t now says plainly that when
Arthur was nominated for Vice. President
the party represented ut Chicago knew that
he was in the fullest sense of the word a
Stalwart Republican, and based its action
upon that knowledge, hoping to win the
State of New York. And that journal init.
mates that the second name on the ticket
won its success rs q whole.

Sir Fitzhardingc Maxse, just appointed
governor of Newfoundland, is "a man ofrather
remarkable antecedents. The son of a man
of means by sister of the late Earl Fitz-
hardinge, he rendered himself conspicuous
when serving with the naval brigade in the
Crimea by undertaking historic ride, as
perilous as it could be, to convey needed
message mt momentous military crisis.
With merit and interest generally much
more helpful thing-it seems strange that
he should in all these years have got no fur
Their than the governorship of that not too
fascinating retreat, Heligoland, which, how
ever, not a few would prefer to Newfound-
land. Heligoland is favorite summer
haunt of people from the Hanse towns, and
its people, before Sir Fitz arrived, drove a
thriving trade as keepers of bells and tav-
ems. He, however, put down the gambling
with the firm hand of British man-of- war
captain, and naturally elected from the
rouletters storm of execration.

The Assistant District.Attorney.

1t is serious question rs to the appoint
ment of new Assistant District-Attorney
for the United States to succeed Mr. Ross
Perry, inasmuch as he has conducted the
affairs of his office during his incumbency
with signal ability. Yesterday our reporter
called upon District-AttOrney Corkhill and
the names Of several of the more prominent
younger members of the Bar were brought
up for consideration in the presence of Mr.
Perry, the retiring Assistant District-At-
torney. The names mentioned were Thos.
i. Miller, Chas s. Moore, Frank Howe and
Others. 1t is more than probable that
Thos f. Miller will be the next Assistant
District-Attorney.

Missionary Society of the Christian
Church..


The annual convention of the Missionary
Society of the Christian (Campbellite)
Church of the District of Columbia and
Maryland commenced yesterday in Balti-
more at the Christian Church, corner of
Paca and Lombard streets. Rev. Henry ID.
Clarke, of Baltimore, presided. Rev. w.
ii. Schell Of this city, acted rs secretary
The delegate from Washington is Rev. Dr.
f. ID. Power, the late Presidents pastor
There are ten churches of the Christian
denomination in Washington and Maryland
and the total number of members is 1000
and large Sunday school roll. In the af-
ternoon session of yesterday Mrs. Schell, Of
this city, read paper on "Woman's Work
in the Church, in which she pointed out
very effectively the valuable work done for
Christianity by the individual and collective
women members of the church. In the
evening DIR. Power delivered an eloquent
sermon, in which he alluded to the noble
Christian character of President Garfield,
and particularly to his Christian fortitudc
during his languishing.
In conversation with q representative of
the Baltimore Gazette yesterday Mr.. Power
stated " that there had been many errone-
GUS impressions made by reports circulated
to the effect that the late President had not
any spiritual advice or comfort in his dying
moments. True" said Mr.. Power, che did
not have a clergyman with him, but his
noble wife prayed with him almost daily
during his illness and frequently read pas
sages of the Scripture to him at his own re-
quest The reason and no other clergy
man ever visited him was not because he
did not wish to see us, but because of the
rigid rules of the physicians, which exclu-
ded everybody from visiting him."
