result of the experience of twenty-five
years, in which time the manufacture
has been perfected so as to produce an
article as pure and nutritious as bread
made of the grain from which it is
originally distilled, with mellow taste,
delicacy of flavor and exhilarating
quality unsurpassed by any ever made
in Kentucky.

The Trial Yesterday.

The fifth day OF the trial OF Guiteau
was devoted to the examination of a
number OF witnesses of the shooting in
the Baltimore aud Potomac depot and
the arrest of the assassin. Ella M.
Ridgley, who heard Guiteau, pale and
apparently troubled, bargaining with a
hackman to drive him to the cemetery
and who witnessed the shooting, gave
her evidence on these points and said
that on the first shot the President
threw up his hands and was falling
when the second shot was fired. John
r. Scott special officer ON duty at the
depot, testified that when arrested
Guiteau remarked, al will go to Jail, but
| want General Sherman to have this
letter." and that on the way 10 the po-
lice station the prisoner said, "I am a
stalwart aud Arthur is now President"
This witness identified the pistol taken
from Gulteau at the station. The pro-
ductien of the weapon caused quite a
stir in court. 1t was examined by the
jurors, whose attention was called to the
fact that Two barrels were empty and
four loaded. Officer Kearney, the po-
liceman who arrested Guiteau, swore
that he, and not PaIke, the ticket agent,
was entitled to the distinction of having
first seized the assassin after the shoot
ing. Ibis discrepancy is doubtless OF
more consequence to the tive witnesses
concerned than to either the proseca-
tion or the defence, but Officer Kear-
ney has the advantage of being corrob-
Grated by Guiteaq, who interrupted the
proceedings by declaring that the Off
Ger "comes nearer the truth than any
of them."
Several other witnesses were exam
ined as to what occurred at the depot
on the morning of the shooting, in.
Guiding the hackman whom Guiteau
wanted to engage to drive him to the
cemetery. Chief Clerk Brown testified
| to Guiteau's visits and manner at the
State Department and j. Stanley
Brown to his frequent calls at the
White House. The latter also identi-
fed number of letters written by
Guiteau to President Garfield. Nc
material change in the evidence given
ON direct examination was effected by
Mr.. Scoville on crosssexamination
Notwithstanding the request made by
Mr.. Scoville at the opening that the
Court would adopt some measure tt
prevent the prisoner from issuing hil
manifestoes to the public and to stor
his annoying Interruptions of the pro
ceedings Guiteau was as irrepressiblt
as ever, and when Judge Cox agair
warned him that he would remov.
from Court unless he kept quiet th,
prisoner defiantly replied "If yor
do the Court in banc will reverse yor
and give me new trial." Mr.. Scovill,
gave notice that the defense will b,
insanity, and claimed that the burdel
of proof is on the prosecution, and tina
they must introduce their evidence OF
this point before closing their case
The counsel for the prosecution tool
different view of the question. TIL,
popular interest in the trial is still o,
the increase.

letter:
WILMINGTON, DEL, Nov. 10, 1881.
Messrs. r. 1. DUPONT, de Nemours
Il Co.:
SIRs Some three weeks ago, the
Board Of Health Of Wilmington, acting
under the State law which relates to the
pollution Of drinking water in our
streams, sent its Executive Officers TO
examine the banks of the Brandywine
river with view to report on this
subject.
Having made The examination they
reported nunDer of nuisanees, and
notice was given in regard to certain
well-defined nuisances for abatement.
Since then tbe undersigned, COM
mttee Of the Board Of Health, with the
Chief Engineer Of the Water Depart
ment of Wilmington, visited the same
localities and found abundant ground
for complaint, especially in the matter
Cf privies, hog and COW pens, and sur
face drainage. Whenever individuals
have been found implicated In such
sources of imparity they have received
notice to abate them.
On the extensive property of the
Messrs. DUPONT, which lines the Bran
dywlne creek above the Rising Sun
bridge, there are numerous causes of
watei pollution, chiefly from privies
connected with private dwellings,, and
SO situated as that the excrementary
matters are washed into the Brandy>
wine creek, and in the case of The
Walker, or Garfield, mill directly into
the water.
1t is sufficient only to allude to
these fac.s to develop the disgusting
nature of this pollution of the water
which our people are obliged to drink
leaving out OF view entirely the dangels
which may result to life from the use
of water contaminated by the excreta
of persons sick from contagious dis
eases, and we cannot believe that it Is
necessary to do more than call your
attention to this matter to lead your
company, which has always maintain
ed SO high and honorable a character,
to take suitable measures, by proper
wells or earth closets, to permanently
abate these sources of impurity-
Very respectfully yours, &C.,

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
How Tracks Shall be Laid ON
Christ1ana Avenue still Unde-
,t<

How Tracks Shall be Laid ON
Christiana Avenue still Unde-
cfded.
City Council again last evening post
poned action on the requests OF the diff
ferent railroad companies for permission
to lay tracks on q portion Of Christiana
Avenue, South Wilmington. This ques-
tion is becoming decidedly interesting
one. II the latest proposition of the
railroad companies to use forty feet on
one side of the avenue and give the city
forty feet on the other, should be &C
cepted, 1t would make an awkward and
ugly break right in the middle OF the
avenue, AZ the portion the companies
desire to use extends only from the
Lobdell Car Wheel Company's new
foundry and machine shop to their plate
mill. City Surveyor Conwell is en-
phaically opposed 10 running the avenue
in this manner, and most of the men,
bers Of Council agree with him. II the
railroad companies would offer 10 take
forty feet on one side of the entire ave-
nue., from Third street bridge to the
Delaware, and give the city forty feet
for the same distance on the other, fully
graded, the proposition would doubtless
be accepted, as this would leave the
avenue in its present condition, and
simply move its location little further
south aud west. Some members OF City
Council are in favor of allowing tracks
to be laid on the avenue In Its present
condition, provided the companies will
pay good price in solid cash for the
privilege.
Great complaint is being made by the
Lobdell Car Wheel Company at the
slow action of City Council in this mat
ter, and 1t is claimed in their behalf
that they are losing money daily by
being deprived of railroad facilities. 1t
is weil-known, however, that even If
permission is granted none of the COM
panies will lay the tracks until next
spring. The B. & o., having south side
connections, is the only one that could
start Immediately, as the w. & N. and
p, W. u B. Railroads would have to
wait tor the construction of their pro-
posed bridges over the Christiana.
