Eastern Lunatic ASYLUM Poisoning Matter.
ICorresDondence OF the Richmond Dispatcb.l
JUNE 10, 1884.
The Asylum Directors yesterday exam
ined about dozen witnesses as to the eX-
posure Of poison on the asylum grounds.
The fact was established that poison was
used on the grounds, and dogs were killed,
but by whom and for what purpose Is yet
a mystery. An e1-aSylum official publicly
proclaimed on the streets that he could put
his hand on the man who die it, but when
called before the Board to testify. said he
could not do so because 1t would be vlo-
lation OF confidence. The ex.snperin-
tendent addressed letter to the Board,
requesting them to permit him to be pres
ent and cross-examine the witnesses. The
Board replied that II he, as a citizen OF
Williamsburg, could throw any light on
the subject they would gladly have him
come before them and testify. W.

caused considerable damage to the grow.
ing crops. The Cape-Cod district reports
the prospect for a cranberry crop entirely
ruined. Hundreds Of acres were blighted,
involving loss Of many thousands Of dol.
lars. Potatoes and corn and vines Of all
KINDS were seriously affected. Much Of
the corn will have TO be replanted, and,
owir z to the lateness Of the season, q short
crop will be the result. In Norfolk county,
Mass, the entire crops OF vegetables were
destroyed, and the farmers who make q
specially OF early produce will suffer ex-
tensively, In nearly all sections the
growth OF crops was retarded.

BORDEAUX, June 16.-A balloon assem-
sion drew together large throng OF peo-
plein Place Quncanane yesterday. Among
the number were GeorIe W. Roosevelt.
United States Consul, and his wife. Sud-
denly French soldier aimed his pistol at
the Americans and fired. The bullet
passed through Mr. Roosevelt's hat, con-
fused his head, and knocked him over.
The wounded man pointed out the soldier
who fired the shot, but the latter, with two
companions, escaped during the excite
ment. 1t is supposed that the soldier mis-
took the Consul for an officer or civilian
against whom he had a grudge. General
Dumont, the commander Of Bordeaux, has
ordered an inquiry to be made.
