BALTIMORE, Nov. 12.-During the war
Jne. Jackson, a 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.. Num-
mas niece, Miss Minnie Greene, young
lady who is a 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
Mr.. John T. Mumma reached the room
with light the fact was disclosed that the
midnight assailant was jackson. The ne
gro had provided himself with pistol and
dirk. He fired one shot at John T.. Mum
ma, bat missed him. Before he could fire
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 a 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 un-
til this morning, when he was committed
to jail. Jackson is very black in color and
of powerful build, and has lowering and
repulsive expression. The neighbors are
greatly incensed at this attempted out
rage, and threats of lynching the negro
are numerous. The sheriff has extra dep
uties appointed in case of emergency. 1t
is rumored that an attempt will be made
tonight.

| 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 a party of visiting friends, stands
without 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.
Chas. II. CARRIER, the father of the family,
| 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, how
ers between life and death. So i'll 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 ill. and DR.. NJ h-
lon Preston, homeopathic physician
was summoned, and an allopathist
| from lower Providence was called to attend
Mrs. Fetterlofs and Mrs. Vanderstice. DIR.
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"
| continued Dr.. Preston, ''and when visited
Mr.. CARRIER, professionally, the last time I
considered him out of danger. On Thurs
| Mr.. CARRIER died Mrs. CARRIER was only ill
short time. On Saturday Ivers Steen-
bright, little boy, was asked by Mrs.
CARRIER to go on an errand for her, for
which service he was rewarded with piece
of the pie. Ten hours later he died in
great agony Not until then did suspi-
cion point to tie 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
