At the Point Of Death.

A clergyman in South Haven, Mich, who
has been greatly benefited by Compound
Oxygen, and who has nsed his influence te
induce others to try it, writes as follows
:" An elderly lady here, who is now able to
see to- her household affairs, was long at the
point of death from Consumption. A day
or two since she walked out distance OF
four blocks. All are expressing surprise
concerning her recovery. The Oxygen is
doing more for these cases than all the ply
sieians.' Our Treatise on Compound Oxy-

DISTRICT ATTORNEY CoRKHILL has
written letter with vie to stopping
the practices Of dishonest pension claim
ants. He expressed wish that all
soldiers or other parties having copies
of descriptive circulars from agents IN
Washington, or knowledge of any
fraudulent transactions on their part,
should send him full information, and
that each case may be put in shape by
the special agents for legal prosecution.
He says Attorney General Brewster
has promised the earnest cooperation
of the department Of Justice and all its
officers. Many Of the cases of fraud
are heartrending. Manned and de-
crepit soldiers. widows and orphans.
pay their pittance to agents who merely
file applications to enable them to Oh
tain money from their deluded clients.
IF the pesent law is inadequate to pre-
vent such transactions, Congress should
provide an efficient remedy. If moth
ing else were accomplished by the in
vestigation, it would at least warn sol
diers and their widows and orphans of
their danger and prevent in the future
their being swindled out of their money,
and it will vindicate honest agents from
unjust suspicion.

The Oregon Pioneers.
Newark Evening News.

The 200 Oregon pioneers, the young
est of them a settler of 1854, who have
| Just arrived in New York on an excur~
sion, could tell some wonderful storiea
of progress, heroism and trial Turn4
| ing their faces toward the setting sun
in the days when the star of empire
shone but very dlnly in the west, they
have lived to see stately cities grow up
where they corralled their wagon trains
on patLless prairie, to see railroad
tracks along their old trail, art and cul.
ture where they fought with painted
sayages, and populous industry where
they found wilderness. More honor
should be paid to them than to naughty
lord or bewigged justice from across the
Atlantic. They are the men who hare
planted new stars in the flag, sown the
seeds of civilization, refinement and
liberty, ard watched and guarded their
work until the wastes blossoned Not
knowing, perhaps, the magnitude OF
their work through danger, privatiea
and discomfort, they toiled on, and the
whole land has shared in their reward.

The Aims House Horror.

BOSTON, March 30.-The Tweksbury
aims house hearing was continued. DR..
Dixwell, a witness for the prosecution,
said he had dissected as many as fifty
babies in year. La special cases of al
legged starvation he could not prescribe ex.
cept that bodies were much emaciated.
His only knowledge that the bodies came
from the aims house was obtained from
Andrews, now dead.
j. Fl. Chase, in reply to the counsel for
the trustees endeavoring to ascertain his
previous places of employment and knowl-
edge of his private life, said
none of your business" ''that's
my business" etc. He didn't
know of any bodies being sold from the
aims house. A pencil mark was always
made on the head-boards when body was
resurrected from the graveyard. Funeral
service over collins filled with wood was an
isolated one. Gen. Butler asked for the
books of the institution, covering records
of deaths, burials and contracts back as far
as 1873, which were furnished. Witness
Chase became excited, shook his fist at the
committee, and said half had not been told.
The governor said the committee might
call on witness for the other half. The
half he, the governor, knew was sufficient.
Chas. H. Dudley, night Waterman from
Nov, 1876, to July, 1877, testified to the
manner in which dead bodies and stores
belonging to the institution were
surreptitieusly removed at night
in boxes. He requested information
OF his duty from a sub-oficer
named Elliot, and he told him you don't
want to see too much. That there might
be extra work in the dead hours of night
for which he would get fees, but he must
not say too much about it, and if he wished
to stay he must get inside the ring, mean
ing the Marsh family. Witness detailed
many mysterious circumstances of the re-
moval of tanks by the relatives of the
Marsh family and the disappearance of
bodies from collins in which they were pre-
pared for burial.

recollect directing the insertion of clause
providing for expedition in sub-contracts.
Boone had only general instructions &C.
cordlng to witness recollection
Witness had no recollection of
having seen the sub-contract
up to February, 1873, or of changing the
form prepared by Boone. He did not re-
member giving him any instructions ex-
cept IN December, 1877, although he was
not positive he had not in
structed him after that date. Wit
ness could not undertake to repeat the
substance Of any conversation with Boone
December, 1873.
A searching examination was based on
the sub-contract clause, providing for ex-
pediting, but witness steadily denied all
recollection on that point. To one of the
questions witness returned an argumenta-
tive answer.
Had you not better leave argument to
your counsel?' said Merrick, land you
testify with a better recollection than you
seem to have" And again when an i'm
portant question was ruled out by the
court he said: 1t is not easy to confne
questions within the proper limits when
the memory OF witness is more satisfactory
to himself than 10 anyone else"
Witness said Thos. Peck and John Dor
sey were in ignorance OF Vaile's separa-
tons, and sub-cCntracts had been given to
Vale by Miner, acting for Peck and John
Dorsey. He thought he first learned of
the filing Of the contracts in December,
1873.
Merrick inquired ''why he had waited till
March, before writing to Brady"
For this simple reason. 1 don't know
what you are trying to reach. John Dor
sey and Peck being absent and 1 in the
senate, l thought it would be an improper
thing for me TO do while was in the sen
ate"
Witness thought he had his authority
for writing letter in the winter of 1878
1879. He die not assume control of the
business without authority. Had power of
attorney upon every route, but could not
say whether be had them on or before
March l.
Merrick began inquiry in relation to
letters of authorization.
Witness did not know where letters were
and insinuated that the assistant counsel
was better informed.
Merrick Who do you mean?
Answer-Reerdel.
Question-Is he assistant counsel?
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS should judge
so.
Question-Do you know what ReerdeI is
doing?
Answer can see him sitting there.
Merrick (sarcastically)- eyesight
is not so bad after ell.
Witness-I can see some small things.
Merrick-I congratulate witness on the
good effect exercised by Reerdel on his eye
sight. He should be glad that he is here.

A Conference in Africa.

PETERsBURG, March 3O.-At session of
the board of bishops of America, Rev. A.
Cartwright, missionary from Africa, gave
an account of mission work in that country
and its immediate wants. He asked that
the African work be carefully considered
by the Zion connection. A resolution was
adopted giving Cartwright authority to
hold an annual conference in Africa, ant
to appoint suitable persons to preach and
teach the people in that country, subject to
ratification and modification.
Rev. J. G. Price, president of Zion Wes-
ley institute, at Salisbury, n. c., gave an
encouraging report of the institution. The
board of bishops made the following ap-
preparation: $4,000 for the benefit of w.
E. Dodgs's hall; $4,000 for African mis-
sion; $4,000 for church expansion, and $500
for book concern, with headquarters at

for the patrol wagon came in from box
at the corner of Main street and Sixth ave-
nue. southeast. The chief at once sent the
wagon, and upon its return brought to his
home at 203 North First street, Thomas
McDougal, who was covered with blood
and gave unmistakable evidence of pretty
hard usage. From Officer Hutchins it was
learned that McDougal had just arrived
from the prairies, and being stonecutter
was in search of work. He met two men
on the East side, who offered him
situation at good wages in quarry, and
at once started for the quarry. Arriving
at lonely spot beyond the state universe
ty they slugged and robbed him of his
watch and left him insensible. A gentle
man fortunately came along afterwards
and helped him to the first telephone
box McDougal was quite severely bruised
about his head, but was not dangerously

LATE MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.

At about o'clock last night bold
horse thief drove off ex-Sheriff Johnson's
fine horse and carriage from in front of
track.
The jury in the Thompson case came in
at o'clock last evening and reported that
they had been unable to arrive at a verdict.
The court reminded them of the expense
they were occasiening the county, and the
suspense of the public in their falling to
agree, and taking into consideration the
fact that they had no questions to ask re-
speeding legal points, it seemed quite evi
dent that the jury was obstinate. They
were sent back for the night.
Yesterday United States Marshal Hop
kins came to Minneapolis from Dubuq Us
in search of man named Patsey Glennan,
who had some two years ago run a sa-
loon there and who had failed to pay his
United States special tax of some $45.
Judgment has been taken against Glennan
in the United States circuit court for over
5000 costs. Last night the defendant
was found at Freyer's boarding house at
PA North First street and placed in the
city cooler for safe keeping. He will
probably be taken before United States
Commissioner Odell to-day. In default of
his paying the judgment the penalty will
be thirty days imprisonment.
Last night peoples caucus was held in

the horse was recovered on Third street

The Wires all Singing.

CHICAGO, March 30.-A singular fact was
noted in this city last night, that at a Ger.
tain hour all who had occasion to use the
telephone found it vibrating to musical
tones. Private and public telephones
were alike affected, and even the police
and fire alarm instruments. The source
of the music was a mystery till to-day,
when it transpired that the telegraph wire
from the stock yards, passing near most
of the telephone wires connected with the
harmonic system, and that the tunes be-
ing played over it were taken up by the
telephone wires by induction. This sug-
gests rather a grave question as to the re-
suits should the harmonic system be gen.
orally introduced.
