A Stranue Case.

A German resident of San Fraa cisco.
Samul F. Herrguth by name, appeared d
at the city receiving hospital on Septe m
Der 9th and declared that he had been
poisoned by his wife. His condition
soon became critical and his ante-mor
TEN statement was taken. He described
with precision the incidents of the morn
ing, saying that he arose in his usual
health, ate slice of bread, and drank a
cup of coffee, whose bitter taste he dis
tinctly noticed, started for work, but
was soon seized with spasms and only
reached the hospital with great diff
Guilty. Almost Immediately after he had
concluded this statement, and before he
could sign copy of it, Herrguth died.
OF course such an accusation by dy-
ing man made q strong prima-facie case
against the wife and she was arrested
but strangely enough post-mortem ex-
animation failed to show the faintest
trace of poison, and proved conclusively
that the man died of apoplexy of the
brain,

CHICAGO, September 27.-The "Mer-
ny War" between the Indianapolis,
Louisville and Cincinnati Roads goes
bravely on. The Chicago and Eastern
Illinois is doing land-office business,
the office being crowded from morning
till right with people wishing to avail
themselves of the five cent rate to Indi-
annapolis and the $50 rate to Cincin-
matt. These cheap tickets are sold only
by the evening trains, because
passengers will have to buy Sleep
ing-car or chair-car tickets, out
of which the company gets its re-
muneration. This morning the Eastern
illinois commenced to sell tickets for
the morning train, but not at the same
rate as for the evening train. By the
morning the rates will be the same as
by other lines-S1 to Indianapolis and
$3.50 to Cincinnati. AS the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois is only able
to accommodate small proper
tion of the indianapolis and Cln-
cinnati travel the other roads also
get large share of the business. The
Louisville business is all going by either
the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago,
or the Pan Handle. The cut made by
the latter road yesterday morning on
rates to Lafayette, Green Castle, Cos
port, and other points on tho New Al
bany road has not been met by the
latter. The New Albany is now
selling round trip tickets to In
dianapolis for $5 At present peo-
pie can make the round trip for 50, but
they assume the risk of having to pay
full fare back in case rates should be re-
stored before they are ready to return.
Consequently come round trip tickets
are being sold to people who do not ex-
pect to return Immediately. Round
trip tickets to Louisville are also being
sold by this road for 50. Tie Pan.
Handle is selling round trip tick
cts to Cincinnati at $40, good
for thirty days. AS all the am
munition in the passenger war
has about been exhausted it is quite
certain that if the conflict does not come
to an end by Saturday break in freight
rates will occur. The Kankakee Line,
which is suffering very severely from
the present war, threatens to open hos
ti!ities on freight rates by Monday. Ii
this threat is carried out some of the
suffer heavy losses, Their re-
ceipts from the freight traffic being their
principal source Of income. No fears
are entertained that the war will spread
beyond the territory now affected, as all
the eastern and western lines are pro-
tecting themselves by charging full
proportions of rates from their south.
eastern connections.

The Baby That Was Not.

There was tired looking woman came
into the Michigan Central depot the
ether day, says the Detroit Free Press,
and sat down to wait for train. Two
small children clung to her skirts and
in her, arms she carried an infant, close
ly wrapped up, and with an old veil tied
in a double fold across its face. The
mother had satchel and some boxes,
which She managed to carry at the time,
and she settled the children on each
side Of her and prepared for long sit
ting, for the train was late.
The children were quiet little things
and amused themselves; the mother sat
and held the baby in tight clasp, aud
looked far off with eyes that seemed to
be watching over grave. Tears fell
softly now, and then, sometimes on one
of;the bright-haired children, again on
the dress of the baby in her arms, and
these the little ones would brush softly
away. II was evident that they had seen
their mother weep often.
But the other passengers who waited
got nervous over it. A good woman
with kind face offered seed cake to the
children, but they shrunk from her.
People came and went, and something
IN the woman's face made them stop and
look at her, but she did not see them.
A-white, drawn, quivering mouth and
fearful eyes attested some deep sorrow.
s Atslast little fussy man, who had
been jumping up and down and rubbing
his hands and crying: "Bless mel''
under his breath, went up to the strick-
en- woman and executed sort of war
dance 10 front OF her.
Bless me, ma'am," he exclaimed,
rubbing bis hands till they were ablaze
with the friction; "but you'll smother
that baby"
The woman looked at him as if she
didn't comprehend what he meant.
"It can't possibly breathe, ma'am,
with double veil over its face. l say,
y.o u'll sm other that child"
he thought her either deaf or crazed
and the rest of the passengers had the
same fears. The woman laid her limp
burden in her lap and began with tremb.
ling bands toundo the veil. "My baby
is Dead" said she in low voice. but
which all heard.
Good gracious, ma'am began the
little man.
These are her Clothes" she con-
tlnued in broken voice; 81 carried
her in my arms and next to my heart TO.
two years, and now my heart
and my arms are both empty
but / don't miss her SO much when
have these, and the children forget she
is dead and buried away from us ALL
She picked up her senseless burden
and rocked herself to and fro, but kind
hands led her away and kind voices
whispered words of hope to her, and al
last the poor half-crazed mother con.
sented to lay aside the empty garments
and take instead to her arms and heart
the little ones she had well.nigh for.
