attained his highest fame at the battle Of

~ ATTEMPTED POISONING AT SHARPs

~ ATTEMPTED POISONING AT SHARPs-
puRa.-The Sbarpsburg Enterprise Of
Friday last says-Yesterday morning it
wss discov cred that dastardly attempt
had been made to poison the family Of
BENZ. Jackson, living OH the southwest
corner of Hall and Antietam streets, in
Sharpsburg. jackson was away from
home, and no one was in the house except
his aged mother, his wife and children.
When Mrs. Jackson was preparing break
fast, she noticed greenish substance up
on three different pieces Of bread, which
upon investigation, proved to be Paris
creep. Further examination revealed
some of the poison upon the inside Of
lar containing blackberry jelly. a paper
OF Paris green, that had been purchased
10 poison rats and had been in the house
for several days before, could not be
found, and consequently it was supposed
that this was the poison used. Access to
the room where the victuals and poison
were could readily be obtained, as the
door which opened into the yard adjoin-
ing the street, was left unlocked. It is
believed that some one, thoroughly ac-
qusinted with the premises and the habits
Of the family, entered by this door the
night previous and made the deadly prep
srations just detailed. No clue to the
guilty persons exists, and the family have
no reason to suspect any one in particu-
lar.

IYF CONFESSIONAL correspondent writ
ing from Long Branch, August IL, to the
Baltimore Sun ys:-Hhe members of the
tariff commission find time between the
dry details of their labors to enjoy life at
the Branch. They battle and ride and
drive, eat four meals day, smoke good
cigars, and some of them are occasionally
found in the bar-rooms of the hotels.
Hon. A. r. Boteler, of West Virginia, one
of the mem 5ers of the commission, says
they are progressing finely, gathering
much valuable information, and bringing
out facts and figures which none of the
debates on the tariff in Congress have
ever evolved. He said most of the menu
bers of Congress who talked about the
tariff knew nothing about it, and think
this opinion Is pretty generally shared all
over the country. Mr.. Boteler said he
had been a constant reader of the Balti-
more SUN.for thirty years, and that it was
almost always right. Judge Underwood,
of Georgia, another member OF the COM
mission, says the newspapers are rather
too premature in their criticisms Of the
commission, and that this is especially the
case with the democratic papers, and that
1t will be time enough for the criticisms
to come after the result of the labors OF
the commission is put before the country.
