story she had the committee. The ques.
ton was not asked as TO what he had said
TO Burns about that case, or what action
he had taken to prevent repetition.
VISIT TO THE NTKLLlaESoER.
He said in relation to Madame Scott,
after Mr.. McGregor had gotten him back
to the visit he paid that house, that the
Madame had told him that in answer to a
letter asking her to.call at the INTELLIdES-
GER Office, she had gone there, been taken
up to the third story and there scared half
to death by two members OF the st4tI, aud
that they had printed many things that
she did not say.
Chief Smith was not discerning enough
to realize that the statement which ne
took the pains to make merely showed
that the editor OF tho INTELLIGEHcER de-
sired 10 be very careful about the charges
before publishing them. This point,
however, it was evident was not lost on
the committee. AS q matter OF fact,
Madame Scotia name was not used in the
IETELLIGEScEE's article.
The Chiefs memory failed him after
this heavy strain upon it. He testified
first that Miss Scott had told him that
Burns had been drinking. Later on he
stated that she did not tell him that
Burns had been drinking,aud that he had
not asked. Again he testified that he
did not remember whether Miss Scott said
anything about Burns drinking or not.
He was asked to point out what it was
in the report that was untrue, but he
could not remember. He was asked
whether ne inquired about Burps's often.
sive conduct in tho house. He answered
none Of these questions satisfactorily
Some things he had not asked about
others he mad forgotten whether he did OF
not, and he had forgotten the answers Il
he received any.
"A POINTED INQUIRY.
Mr.. List asked this question: HAD you
known what you do now, would you have
discharged Burns?"
Capt. Smith, AN not prepared to an
swer that question"
BY this time it was 10 o'clock, ana the
committee adjourned until this evening
at 1880.
No action was taken looking TO securing
the attendance OF witnesses who were
kept back while Porter Smith got in his
laudation of Jim Burns and incidentally
got himself most beautifully tangled up
Burns was allowed to ask number o.
questions about matters entirely irrelevant
70 the matters under consideration, and
he secured a number OF answers until
the committee seeing the wrong in this
forbade it. On attempting 1t once OF
twice afterwards, Chairman Myles called
him to order very sharply

Mr.. Lauchlin took occasion at this time
to truthtul;y state thathe had had nothing
to DO with the instigation Of the investi.
CATION as members Of the force and others
had charged. He had merely answered
questions when they were asked, and he
knew enything OF what was asked about.
He stated in answer 10 a question asked
by Burns that he had visited the ISTELLI-
dRNcRR office on invitation Of member OF
that papers stat, and while there had
been asked certain questions about mat
tefs which he knew, and he had an
swered them.
William Love stated that he had, when
in company with Officer Barum, seen
Burns on the Atlantic engine house cor
ner, on one occasion, when his impression
was that he was full; he was in uniform
and the hour was between Q and 10 o'clock
y. ".
Again Burns came in with his parrot
like question OF, wasn't I capable OF
taking care Of myself and transacting bust
ness" He shot this Off at every witness
examined as to his drunkenness, To which
charge he virtually plead guilty on several
occasions.
Mr.. Love said again that he was under
the impression at that time that Burns
was pretty full.

CAPT. SMITH ON THE STAND.

Mr.. Myles now called Capt. Smith,
although there were number OF wit.
nesses present who had not been exam.
ined, and whose duties, unlike those oil
Capt, Smith, were not at the building. Il
was very discourteous TO them TO put
Capt. Smith in ahead. The other wit
nesses should have been examined first.
The Chief had been sitting beside Burns
during the progress Of the examination OF
witnesses, apparently in very nervous
state. He would stroke his whiskers,
gnaw his moustache or whisper with
Burns. The Chief looked TO be in any
thing but a happy frame Of mind.
On being questioned he said that he
knew nothing OF the misdoings OF Burns
until he saw what was published in the
ISrELLIGEScRR. He had investigated at
terwards some Of the reports. He had
visited Hattie SCOTS and inquired Of her
about the matters occurring at her house,
and she said that the published report was
not true.
Here Burns had to chip in again, be.
fore the prosecuting questions had all been
asked. He Intercepted the Chief as to

little mutual admiration society.
After this entertaining act was over the
Chief was asked why he sent Barum
around to notify the proprietresses Of
horses that they must not thereafter allow
the men OF the lorCe in their houses. He
replied that complaint had been made
that the police had more hHsineAg in these
houses than was necessary.
He had heard ef Burns behavior at the
K. Of P. picnic, which Mr.. Lauchlin had
referred 10 in his testimony, and had rep
rimandsd Burns and told him II he was

a PREVENTIVE
OF Typho- Malarial Fever and Our
for Rheumatismaat Last
Discovered

BY the firm of Hughes Broe., manu-.
featuring chemists OF Dallas, Texas.
This enterprising firm have for the
last five years been engaged in the
manufacture Of baking powders, wines,
cider, vinegar, etc. DIR. + Il Hughes,
who presides over their laboratory,
has for the last forty years been en-
gagged in the study and practice OF
medicine and chemistry. They also
have in their laboratory Prof Geo. g
Calhoun, who bsS for many years been
teacher of chemistry also Mr.. J
Price Warriek, 9 graduate Of chemistry
In the University of Philadelphia.
Thee gentlemen in manufacturing
the various articles already mentioned,
have found it necessary to combat eX
cessive lamentations, whether vinous,
acetous or alcoholic, which have ever
stood IN the way OF successfully mar
ufactuting wine, vinegar and alcohol
in our Southern climate. The expert
ments have resulted in the discovery
Of an agent which completely obvistes
this difficulty. This agent is the eX-
tract of the bark Of tree indigenous
| to the state OF Texas. Carrying their
experiments still further, they have
ascertained that this same extract
ss completely controls the only re.
manning fermentation known to the
arts and sciences, viz: Blood fer
mentation, which is the cause OF fe-
vers 80 well IA Of rheumatism. This
agent they have combined with the
extracts Of ginger and lemon, thereby
rendering IL most efticacious as well
SIS delightful and palatable beverage.
IL is not only one of the best topics IN
its effects, but the use Of it effectually
prevents typho-malarial fever. At the
same time IL is sure cure for rheuma-
tism. DR.. Hughes Extract of Lemon
and Ginger is put up in cases Of two
dozen bottles, and can be found st all
first-class drug and grocery stores.
