Judge Fuller Denies the Versclty
OF Some OF It's Statements.
MUNcY CREEK, May %, 1888.


MUNcY CREEK, May %, 1883.
ED. WHITE PINE NEWS: Dear sir
l was shown yesterday a remarkable
document, published over the sigma
ture Of r. c. O'Neil, and containing
several gross misstatements in con-
nection with my name, which l wish,
through your columns, to correct.
Mr.. O'Neil says: During the day of
the sad occurrence, from 9 o'clock in
the morning up TO | or 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, | was at the house of
Vim. Noe, on Muncy Creek, in COM
pany with Judge Fuller of Cherry
Creek, which is at least Is miles south
of where the lamentable occurrence
took place. Now, as regards time,
this statement is entirely false. These
are the facts: On Sunday morning, the
day of the attempted assassination Of
Wm. Bassett, | left my cabin, which
is two miles above Mr.. Noes aud
three miles above MIR. Cameron's, at
IL O'Clock; | stopped a few minutes at
Mr.. Noes and then went on TO the
2. o. at Cameron's, where l arrived a
little after Il O'Clock NJ. About 12I
o'clock Mr.. 0'Neil passed the house
going north. There were two ladies
and two gentlemen in the office when
| arrived, besides Mrs. Cameron. |
remained there about an hour, then
returned with Mrs. Noe as far as her
house and stopped there. | found
Mr.. O'Neil in the house, talking with
Mr.. Noe. This wa about IL p. NJ.
We had dinner at ga and Mr.. O'Neil
remained till about 4% when he went
away and struck the road north of
Mr.. Cameron's, meeting the mail car
rier and asking him "what sthe news
from down the Valley etc. Up to
This time we knew nothing Of the
shooting and l went home without
knowing anything about it. Now, as
1t happened, these facts can be proved
by six men and women, whose word
would be taken as good evidence in
any court of justice.
| make these statements in Justice
to myself and my neighbors. Yours
respectfully. j. FULLER.
Further newspaper comment on
this affair can result in no good. The
Courts OF justice is the proper place
to try the case, and to them it should
he taken. Both sides have now been
heard, and further correspondence
on The subject Will be declined.-DD.

Hits Under the BELT.

Bro. Simpson, OF the Reflex, can
hardly be called a fair social slogger.
He hits under the belt every time.
Youth, wit and beauty, lose much of

CARDS the social amenities OF life.
But brilliancy of great natural pow
ers. such as Bro. Simpsons, seldom
include gentility OF feeling. 1t scorns
that weaker passion. Like the tnr-
bulent waves its elements are Of
n fiercer nature, and disdains all
training. WHAT a pity that n so
otherwise naturally gifted should
have such a failing.

M. pASTEUR'S EXPERIMENT

A FIR nch savant NJ Pasteur, has bee n
experimenting with mad dogs for the
past ten years. He must be of pecu-
liarly persevering disposition. Most peo
pie are content with their first expert
ment on a mad dog, and could not be in-
duced to attempt another by any reward
that might he offered. But true science
recognizes not the ordinary laws of
human nature. In the pursuit of a theory
"A great generalization-the man OF
science is proof against all the discom-
forts that flesh is heir to. 1t is not stated
how many times NJ. Pasteur has caused
himself to be bitten by the dogs before
mentioned, but he h Is at any rate been
eventually able to elaborate great
theory. He has found that healthy dogs
inoculated with hydrophobia virus be-
come only slightly mad, and after their re
covery are not subject to return of the
disease. He proposes, therefore, that all
dogs shall be yaccin .ted, as it were, COM
pulsorily and Immediately. By doing
this, and by continuing to inoculate every
animal of the species who comes into the
world, he thinks the human family would
be saved from exposure 20 hydrophobia.
This is a very pretty plan on paper, but
wheE it comes to practical details of the
operation there would be trouble. There
are many people who do not care to be
bitten by dog at all. There are more
who would not enjoy exposure to the den
tai operation of animals suffering under
even the middle form Of h, dropho .
which would be induced by inoculation.

THE TENNESSEE ABScONDER

State Treasurer Polk, nephew of Presi-
dent Polk, graduate of West Point, a
soldier who left leg on the Confederate
side of the field at Shiloh, has been
much maligned or he has defrauded the
State of Tennessee out Of more than half
. million of dollars. For six Years he
has held the office of State Treasurer.
and the Legislative committee who have
examined his accounts report that his de-
falcations will exceed $500 600. His Off
cial bond was but 800 600. ard bill to
increase it was stolen from the desk OF
the clerk Of the Senate on the day of the
Legislatures adjournment. wnen it was
to have been considered. The ruin OF
Treasurer Polk is the old story of speeu
lation, and it is not improbable that the ex
istence of ring of which he was m. M
Der and the chief tool will be disclosed.
His defalcation, together with recent dis
closures of fraud in Pennsylvania, ought
to provoke all the Legislatures now in
session to Immediately investigate the H.
nances of their respective States. There
may be many State Treasurers who are
using public money in private specula
tions, and it will prevent loss and scandal
if the official transactions of all such off
GERS are vigilantly scanned by the repre-
sentatives of the people
