BALTIMORE, Nov. 12.-During the war
Jne. jackson, colored boy who had run
away from his master, was taken in and
cared for by Mr.. Jno. T. Mumma, living
in Baltimore county. He was brought up
by the family, who live near Gardenville,
and is now about twenty-seven years of
age. He did work about the house and
slept in the back building, over the kitch-
en-. Last night about midnight Mr.. Mum
mas niece, Miss Minnie Greene, a young
lady who is member of the family, was
| awakened by feeling some one throw the
bed clothing over her head. She screamed
for help, her assailant meanwhile trying to
stifile her cries with the bed clothing. The
young lady's cousin, Geo. L. Mumma,
| was the first to rush to her rescue, and i'm
mediately grappled with the man. When
MIR. John T. Mumma reached the room
with light the fact was disclosed that the
midnight assailant was Jack son. The ne
gro had provided himself with pistol and
dirk. He fired one shot at John T. Num-
ma, but missed him. Before he could fire
a second shot the young man knocked the
pistol from the hands of the villain, who
then drew his knife and desperately at
tackled the two Mummas, who defended
| themselves with chairs. Whilst this strug-
gle was going on some neighbors
living near by, hearing the
noise of the terrible encounter in the
| house, ran to the place,
and with the assistance of county
policeman overpowered the man.. Mr..
George L. Mumma received several cuts
which are considered serious. The negro
was brought by Policeman Ford to the
Waverly station house, and locked up I'M

YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Nov. 12.-Links of Cir
cumstantial evidence of the most sensa-
tional character have been forming during
the past two days in the CARRIER poisoning
case. The investigation now being con-
Quoted by District Attorney Wanzer and
George w. Rogers bids fair to dispel the
mystery which has heretofore so complete
ly enshrouded this affair, and ultimately
bring to justice the culprits. The attempt
to kill not only the whole CARRIER family
but party of visiting friends, stands
without a parallel in the annals of crime
in Pennsylvania. The scene at the Gar
Der house on Swede street to-day was
of most distressing character

lay rigid in death in one room, while in
the adjoining room Hy B. CARRIER, young
man in the prime of life, an only son, hoy
ers between life and death. So ill is he
that they dare not tell him his father is
dead, for fear the shock would kill him
The story of the crime is briefly told On
Thursday Mrs. George Vanderstice, of Col.
legeville, and Mrs. Henry Fetterlofs, took
dinner with the CARRIER family. For des-
sert they had pumpkin pie, of which all
but Mrs. CARRIER partook heartily. Mrs
CARRIER ate but little. A few hours later
all were taken violently i'll. and DR.. M all
lon Preston, a homeopathic physician
was summoned, and an allopathist
from lower Providence was called to attend
Mrs. Fetterlofs and Mrs. vanderstice. DR..
Unsted expressed his opinion that the dis
ease was cratic malaria, while DR.. Pres
ton treated his patients for castro intestin-
al by giving them mucilinous drinks and
administering nux vomica, apaca, and
veratrum. Up to Saturday there was no
suspicion of poisoning. During the first
fifteen hours of their Illness" said DIR.
Preston to-day, ''they vomited necessarily,
and for forty-eight hours following they
suffered from nervous prostration, being
unable to move, with no pulse, and their
bodies cold and languid. After
this languidness passed off they kept rap
idly improving. On Saturday was dis
charged and other physicians employed y
continued DR.. Preston, land when visited
Mr.. CARRIER, professionally, the last time I
considered him out of danger. On Thurs
Mr.. CARRIER died. Mrs. CARRIER was only ill
a short time. On Saturday Iyers Steen-
bright, little boy, was asked by Mrs.
! CARRIER to 60 on an errand for her, for
which service he was rewarded with a piece
of the pie. Ten hours later he died in
great agony. Not until then did suspi-
cion point to the pies as the source of the
illness of all parties.'' DR.. R. Senberg,
the coroner's physician, made post NOR
tenn examination of the Steenbright boy,
and found that death was caused by
| the poison. The crock of flour
in Mrs. CAREERS kitchen was
next examined; and the arsenic crystals
| sprinkled through it so thickly that they
could be seen with the naked eye. A sing
ular part of the mystery is that the poison
found is not what is known as common
| arsenius arsenic, but the pure acid, the
| finest kind of arsenic known to medicine.
