Shocking Disaster.

EAST SAGINAW, Mich, Oct. 2S.-At $3.50
o'clock this evening fire broke out on tho
tug Mcdonald, lying at the dock about one
hundred feet south OF the Genesee avenue
bridge. A large number of people were
congregated on the bridge, when a piece Of
sidewalk on the bridge five feet wide and
forty-five feet long, containing about sixty
people, gave way with a crash and precipi-
tated them into the river fifteen to eighteen
feet deep, with strong current. The night
was cloudy and dark, but miraculously the
greater number were saved, though many
were badly bruised. The river Is being
dragged and the body Of one boy named
Sidney Fallon, aged eight years, has been
brought up.
1t is thought several persisted, as twelve
or thirteen are missing. james S. Waits
was rescued, but is badly hurt. John Roth
enburg injured about the legs; George A.
Irwin. slightly injured; Ed. Cowles, mansg-
ing editor of the Courier, was standing on
the extreme further point of the bridge
when il went down. He could not swim q
stroke and was dragged blythe struggling
people to the bottom of the river twice, but
got clear and was rescued, sustaining but
slight injuries.
Owing to the large number of persons on
the bridge at the time of the disaster, the
darkness, and the fact that the people pick
ed up along the river were hurried to their
homes it is impossible to tell tonight how
many are missing. 1t is reported that there
are Is.
Prosecuting Attorney limerick was re-
ported missing but has turned up safe.
Only one body has been recovered, that Of
the boy Fallon. The current Is very swift
and it is thought that some bodies may have
drifted some distance down stream. John
Bush, Chester Meeres, James Murphy and
a lad named Sharp, are missing.

SHOWING THE QUEER.

IL u Just barely possible that there Is q
little crook in the complaint against the
man Crawford, arrested for passing $50
counterfeit bill on the evening Of the day
before yesterday. A reliable gentleman
who claims to have the straight story gave
it away to an EAGLE reporter yesterday.
His version of the affair is tina. the man
patronized the bawdy house kept by Lizzie
Dale, alias Lizzie McCormic, and gave the
woman $50 note, receiving SIS in change.
That afterwards the keeper of joint, who
hangs out at TIM Dale ranch, pronounced
the bill q counterfeit, and then the Dale
woman came down town and reported it to
the police. Three or four Of the guardians
of the peace, with the Dale woman were
flying around the Douglass avenue depot and
that part flown at lively rate, but failed
to catch the man Of the counterfeit! bill,
until in the evening when he was about to
take the train for Newton, when Dan Parks
grabbed him by the subsequent end of the
pants as be was about to take the train. The
bill was subsequently found to be all right
as well as ell the money the man had on
him, and if there is any counterfeit money
among the layout, either the women or the
pimp must be the owners of it.
If this man can bring any proof Of his
good character, the boot may be put on the
other foot, because the character Of the
prosecuting witness is well known in this
community.
POLICE COURT.
John Stewart and Joe Rush we're on an
old time bender Tuesday night, and in con-
sequence were up before Judge Glenn, yes
terdsy, who put them down as plain DRINKS
with a charge of 50 and coats each.
The various degrees of drunkenness are
not very clearly defined in the police court;
in fact, the reporter has learned of only two
kinds. one plain drunk, the other first
class drunk. He has noticed that when
John Doe sails in it is generally for first
class drunk; when common Jake is caught
in the tolls like Joe Rush or Jack Stewart,
why, it is as natural as life that the court
looks benignly over his specks and says,
"Ah, plain drunk"
Now, George Russell, colored youth, to
fame and fortune a stranger, with only his
color to recommend him to special favor,
was up yesterday for being drunk.
He looked in vain into the benev-
client face of the court for
decision that would be elevating in its ma
ture, and when that officer pronounced il
"plsin drunk his heart failed him, he
could not be put down as frst-class drunk,
and in consequence, had lost his standing as
q high-toned colored gentleman.
Mary Nellan, colored dame, was in the
court yesterday with n mournful tale OF
complaint against Jack, the no foot colored
man who walks on pads on his knees, for
knocking her down. A warrant was issued
for him, and he was produced in court to
explain his actions in the matter to-day.
Judge Jewett tied the matrimonial knot
that binds together as man and wife Josiah
Sears and Sarah 5. Mead, yesterday. He
also issued marriage license to David NJ
Smock and Mrs. A. J. Woodland.

wALLAcE-wALKUP CASE,


Eighth Day.
cas- this morning was one Of intense inter-
Ct
The frat witness called was
DIR. cHAs. ". SCOTT,
Of Kansas City, who testified substantially
in accordance with his story of last Sep
tember. about Wslkup, in company with
another man, coming to his Office in Decem-
Der las., and Walkup relating symptoms Of
i'll health, and how he had been and was,
using arsenical and mercuriAl preparations
- tonics and vital stimulsnts. The doctor
said that man present in the court room
was tie one who came with Nj. Walkup.
Walkup showed phial Of Fowler's solu-
ton, and an empty pill box. Both were
labeled as arrenicsl, and, in reply to the doc
tors advice to quit them, Walkup said that
when he did, it seemed ~ If the bottom
dropped out Of him, and he had to use It. He
referred to an article to Heeda report Of the
of England, in regard to the effects Of ar
senic, and described his symptoms to DR..
Scott a. very painful in the region Of the
loins.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Sterry. The doc
tor said he graduated at the Eclectic Medi-
ical college Of Philadelphia, under DR.. Bu-
chairman. who was afterward prosecuted for
issuing diplomas unlawfully. He graduated
before DR.. Buchanan began that practice.
After he located in Kansas City q new law
required all physicians without diclomas
from q recognized list Of medical colleges, to
pass an examination for a certificate, and he
passed the examination at q grade of 95 per
cent and received his certificate. Is A spec-
islist for nervous and mental diseases. Was
professor Of anatomy in the medical college
Of Kansas City two years ago. Have not
agreed or bargained for any pay to act As
witness In the case, except some recompense
for the value of his time. Ny practice in
Kansas City is worth 5000 year. / first
spoke of Walkup's case when 1 saw that the
coroner's jury had indicted Mrs. Walkup
for trial. 1 first made it known to Mr.. But
terfeld. Ina few days Mr.. w. w. Scott,
of Emporis, came to my Office and laid
down a number Of photographs for me to
select that of J. r. Walkup."

peptic and muscous glands in the stomach
the mucous is similar to the excretions
commonly called snot. Laughter). 1t is
an albuminous substance and If II envelop-
ed arsenic would render it inert because al
bumen makes arsenic inert. The mucous
from the nose and stomach 10 different; text
books say that mucous may envelop arsenic
and render it inert.
| Question: Can you name the text books
which say c0agulste mucous can enyelop
arsenic sixteen hours? Witness could not.
Question: Can you name text books
which cay four grains Of arsenic can remain
in coagulated mucous in the stomach inert
over seven hours! Witness said that text
books said arsenic could remain several days
and not be dislodged by violent vomiting;
could not recall the exact books; the
point a. to whether there Is such thing as
cumulative arsenic in the system, is in dis
pute, but the latest prevailing opinion is
that there is no cumulative arsenical poison
ing; Pope and Pasteur are CT this opinion.
In my opinion there is no cumulative eff
feet.
Question: If man took arsenic habitu-
ally, would it accumulate in his system till it
killed himf Answer: / think not; a man
might 60 on using Arsenic with tolerant eff
feet, but eventually it become poisonous
and result in death. Have read accounts OF
the arsenic eaters of the east who take ar
senic to increase bodily power and
ability for sectual intercourse. Do not
know Of such cases in this country.
There are many women in this county who
take arsenic for their complexion; do not
have medical authority for this statement.
Question: Would not a man who took
arsenic have fine complexion! Answer:
Not necessarily.
Question: Does it mot produce rotundity
of form! Answer: Not if taken in large
doses. Witness read from Zimpson to
prove that arsenic may kill without pro-
ducing gastric disturbances.
Question: If man dies as Mr.. Walkup
died, and arsenic was found as 1t was, how
long had the arsenic found in the contents
of his stomach been there? Answer: Prob
ably one to three or four days, but this is
not the possible time.
Question: Ifthe man had been around,
perfectly well four or Eve days before death,
could the arsenic found have then been in
his stomach! Answer: Possibly I; though
not probable.
Question: Suppose it had not been en-
cyseds Answer: Then It had probably |
been taken . short time before its effect
Question: Would you expect to find, on
examination of q person who |
had syphilis for five year,, any symptoms or
evidences of the diseased Answer: II he
,ad been taking remedies would not ex-
3ect 10 find evidences If the examination was
superficial; mercury ia not the

An Inch of Water.

A statute, or legal inch of water in Cali
fernia, says the San Bernardino Times, is
the water discharged through an opening
one inch square, under a pressure of four
inches from the center of the orifce to the
top of the box, or point of overflow. This
is equivalent to .02 of @ cubic foot dis
charge per second. liz cubic feet per min
ute and ~ cubic feet per hour. To reduce
to gallons, multiply by 7.48, which gives
about 9 gallons per minute. The ''miner's
inch" runs from 5 to Z inches pressure,
varying with locality. The great n.y.
draulic companies, however, have agreed
upon a 6-inch pressure, which gives by
actual measurement, as made by Hamilton
Smith at the North Bloomfield, 2,260.6
cubic feet per "a hours or 94.2 cubic feet
per hour. In reducing to inches the water
stored in reservoirs, the practice is to al
low 100 cubic feet per hour. For irrigat-
ing heads the pressure u all the way
from three TO eight inches among com
mercial bitches. The latter is-or was re-
cently-in use by the National Canal Com
pany Sacramento county. That company
measures through an orifce four inches
deep, with six inches additional to over
flow. In regard to the measuring-box the
practice is quite uniform. II should be 80
large that the inflow will not create a per-
ceptible current or commotion. The
opening is usually two inches in depth, its
length being regulated by q tight-ftting
slide, each half-inch being equivalent to
an inch of water. The edges are smooth,
and if necessary are chsmfered on the out.

The Fourth i'm Town.

The Fourth passed of rather quiet In
town. Several horse and foot races were
run at the Willows, while on the baseball
grounds above town there was pigeon
shooting and other sport. The Hook and
Knick boys kept open house." and their
numerous callers were served with beer,
crackers and cheese. OF which there was q
superabundance. During the morning
the occasion was celebrated with very ap.
propriate ceremon. by the Declaration OF
Independence being read and the making
of several addresses. The hose-cart race,
which was spoken of in these columns as
going to take place at about half-past
seven O'Clock in the evening. was one oil
the disappointments OF the day, inasmuch
as il did not come off. Quite a number OF
ranchers were in town from surrounding
parts, and in the evening the streets wore
q lively appearance.

What Sups. Garrard Has TO Say
About the Present Status of that
Institution.
The Carson Index recently interviewed
Supt. Gsrrard with reference TO the out
look for a resumption Of operations at the
Mint. What the Superintendent has to
say will be of interest to those who are
looking for employment in that institu-
ton. It appears that NO further appoint
ments are to be made until orders are re-
ceived from Washington TO resume active
operations. The Index says:
Our reporter called yesterday at the
Mint with a view OF ascertaining the pres
emit situation and future prospects for act
i've operations. We learned from Supt.
Garrard that his instructions to cease the
purchase OF silver bullion for coinage in
standard dollars, at first made subject to
further orders, has since been made indie
fnite.
As to gold deposits, his instructions are
10 pay for the gold by q check on the AS
sistant Treasurer In San Francisco instead
OF paying the coin here as formerly, and to
deduct from the value OF the deposit a suf-
ficient sum to pay for the transportation
Of the gold to the San Francisco Mint.
Mr.. Garrard informs us that under ~instruc-
tions from the Director Of the Mint, he
has reduced the number of employees TO
the lowest possible point. He does not
propose to make any appointments to fill
vacancies caused either by resignation or
removals till he has instructions to resume
active operations and has bullion on which
to operate. Were he to make these CD.
pointments. he would have TO suspend
them without pay till he is instructed 10
resume active operations, and as he cannot
anticipate such orders. no good can accrue
TO any one BY making such appointments,
