cuITEAu,s POISONED BOUQUET.

It was mentioned in THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE of last week that on the day before the
execution of Guiteau bouquet of flowers was
sent to the prisoner, and afterwards removed
by the officers on suspicion that it had been
poisoned DR.. Tilden, at the laboratory of the
Army Medical Museum, made an analysis, and
found that there were plain traces of arsenic
in the rose-a sufficient quantity to have killed
several men had they taken it, The results of
the experiment will be carefully kept for future
reference.
During the brief interview at the Jail between
Mrs Scoville and Guitcau, a short time after
the flowers were sent in, Mrs. Scoville called
the prisoners attention to the beautiful centre
rose, and it was noticed that Guiteau frequently
referred to its beauty. Whether it was under
stood between them or not is not known.

PAYMENT OF DOUBLE PENSIONS.

Mr.. Groome, from the Committee on PEN
siOns, reported bill in the Senate on Tuesday
to prevent the payment of double pensions
He said the attention of the Committee had
been called to an opinion given by the Attor-
ney-General, in the case of General Burnett, to
the effect that pensioner on the roll is entitled
when a special act is passed for his benefit, to
receive the pension under the act and also his
pension under the general law, even though it
is expressly provided that the former shall be
in lieu of the latter. The purpose of the bill
reported by the committe was to correct this,
and its prompt passage was regarded as a
matter Of extreme urgency. Upon the sug
gcstion of Mr.. ingalls,, the opinion of the
Attorney General was ordered to be inserted
in the record for general information, and the
bill went to the calendar. A resolution offered
by Mr.. Van Wyck, directing the Secretary of
the Interior to withhold action in payment
of a double pension to General Burnett until
the bill just reported is acted upon, was read
and laid over.

Western Freights Marked Down.

BosToE, Jan. 16.-Instead of receiving ai-
vices to advance western freight rates this
morning, the agents of the different fast
freights at this point were considerably sur
prised at the reception of orders to make quite
reduction in the schedule rates lately in
force. The new rates, in comparison with the
schedule of January LIST and the anti-war
period, are as follows: To Chicago, per 100
pounds: First class, 30; second class, Is; third
class, 20; fourth class, Is. January LIST: As,
80, 26, 10. Anti-war period: rs. 80, so, 40.
The Central Vermont and Grand Trunk lines
are 10, 8, 6 and cents per 100 lower than the
above rates. This action of the railroads, in
view of the movement to close up the war, can
be accounted for only upon the supposition
that it is Independent of the most extensive
cutting which has lately been going on, and
that the new rates will remain in force until
after the numerous contracts now in force at
extremely low rates have expired, after which
the tariff agreed upon by the trunk lines will
probably be enforced. 1t is understood the
agents are now under imperative orders not to
make any cuts lower than the schedule rates
received this morning. Similar reductions
were made from New York.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
The Body of an Infant Found IN the TOT
of its Mothers Trunk at the Wall House

The Body Of an Infant Found IN the Top
of its Mothers Trunk at the Wall House.
Three weeks ago rather good looking girl
of about eighteen years of age, secured board
at the Wall house. To the female employees
of the house it became apparent that the girl
was about to become a mother. These fe.
males took it upon themselves to watch de-
velopments. On Sunday the girl did not make
her appearance as usual, and these women
made sortie upon the room and found the
girl sick in bed Upon being Intercepted she
acknowledged that she had given birth to
male child, which she said was born dead, and
she had placed in the top of her trunk. The
trunk was opened and her story found to be
true, insomuch as the dead body was con-
cerned. The chief of police was notified of
the matter, and policeman placed on guard
without the door. Coroner Fairbairn held a
post mortem examination yesterday afternoon,
and found evidences that the child had been
actually born alive. He has called an inquest
which will be held to-day.
The girl gave her name as Ella JOgenson,
and that her parents reside in st. Paul. She
alleges that one John Hart, of Rosemount, is
the father of the child.
The stories of the girl are disconnected and
extremely contradictory. Some are of the
opinion that she is suffering from mental abb
erration.
