-Messrs. Catlin & Butler are not
only good lawyers, but for cold
Bach S, p" royal entertainers. These
gentlemen entertained party of
friends at their bachelor quarters,
corner Of Stinson avenue and fifth
street, last Saturday evening, in honor
of Miss Annie Butler, of Madison, a
sister of Mr. H. S. Butler. The ev-
ening was spent in the usual social
forms until the hour for refreshments
arrived when the party was invited to
the dining hall where our popular
caterer "Teddy" Underhill had spread
feast fit for the gods, and the way
those viands disappeared showed that
his culinary skill was fully appreciat-
ed. The party present consisted of

Speaking of the Lehigh Vale

Speaking of the Lehigh Valley
railroad company, and Of what it is
doing at Chicago, the Duluth News
says;
"The Lehigh Valley railroad COM
pany are a very wealthy corporation,
and it is to be hoped that they will
sec it will be to their great advantage
to locate docks in our city and distri-
butte anthracite coal through the
northwest from Duluth. They must
know that the greater portion of
Minnesota, Northern Iowa, Nebraska
and Dakota can be reached from Du-
luth better than from any other point
"A section of country far greater than
that tributary to Chicago twenty-five
years ago"
1t was but short time ago that the
News was telling us that this wealthy
corporation had already decided upon
vast business operations at Duluth.
If that statement was true, why the
above item? The fact is the first state
ment was not true. Representatives
of the Lehigh company visited the
head of the lake some time since, to
"view the landscape o'er," but when
they get ready to plant themselves at
the head of old Superior it will be on
Wisconsin soil their plant will rest,
and don't you forget it" Mr.. News.

T3ae EucI OF .9ie Future.

Col. Stewart of the British army a
short time since delivered a lecture
before the Royal United Service in
stitution, London, on the use of petro-
leum for both land and sea propulsion.
Col. Stewards leading idea is that pet
roleum is to be the fuel of the future.
Coming as they do, from a citizen of
country whose immense stores of
coal have given her such enormous
military and mercantile prominence,
his views are Of no inconsiderable in
terlst to us Americans.

Mr.. VIII Perry who has been
raiIroading in the west with Mr.. E. B..
Banks surveying and construction
company, received quite serious in
jury some weeks ago. While getting
on to the construction train to ride
into camp his foot was caught between
the bumpers" aud while the pain
was considerable at the time it was
not thought the injury would amount
to much, but the foot soon became
very painful and troublesome, and
finally it was discovered that morti-
fication had set in, and quite a slice
from the under part of the foot had to
be removed. Mr. Perry came home
last Saturday and will stay here until
the sore fully heals. He was FORUM
, ate in not losing the entire foot.

The saddest feature of the Du-
luth fire was the loss of human life.
Charles Moore, fireman, and for that
night Waterman, being driven out on
to the roof of the building, Jumped to
the ground a distance of about 80
feet, and struck on his head crushing
his skull and breaking his neck. Ed
ward Lee the foreman, with Others was
inside fighting fire with buckets, when
he was overcome with smoke and dust
and sank to the floor and became a
victim to the flames. He had been
married only three months. Mr..
Moore was a single man . wears of
age, and was to be married in short
time to Miss Danielson, sister of
Mr.. Lees wife. w. B. Loranger, a
Waterman was also overcome by the
smoke as Mr.. Lee was, and persisted
in the flames. This makes the fire
truly sad one.

TIE Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections have decided to report adversely
the proposition to further investigate the
election OF Senator Payne, OF Ohio. The
committee have decided that the evidence
does not warrant the further investigation
and that as a matter of fact there never
was any legitimate foundation for the
scandal. 1t is true that Mr.. Payne is q
gentleman of wealth and that is probably
the reason of the assaults upon his
reputation by a gang of blackmailers
egged on by the Ohio crowd OF Republican
ward politicians who are attempting to
masquerade as reformers. That a ma
ority OF the Republican members of the
committee refuse to entertain the charges
is proof conclusive hat they are without
any substantial ground. Mr.. Payne has
been one of the best abused men in the
country since his election to the Senate,
and his vindication at the hands of his
political opponents reflects more credit
them than upon him. He needed
no defense, and the fact that they
sunk partisanship to do justice will always
be remembered by right thinking men.
1t establishes the fact that the Senate OF
the United States is jealous OF the reputa-
ton OF its members and proposes to pro-
tect them. Mr.. Payne's only fault is that
he is a rich man. If they cannot enter
public life without being subject to abuse,
the country will lose their services.

POISON ENDED HER LIFE.
Mysterious Death of y Young Mother q
Beverly.

beverly.
BEVERLY, y. j., June 2G.-The mysteri-
Gus death OF Mrs. Label Loninger on Fri.
day last. from arsenical poisoning, ia being
investigated. Mrs. Longer is the mother
OF four children, and was about thirty
years OF age.
About ten weeks ago, when her youngest
| child was born, a young woman named
ing to be experienced. She was a stranger
in this city. having come from Evanston,
Illinois, a short time before with Mrs.
Edward Quigley, a Beverly lady, who was
taken i'll while in the Western city. Two
weeks after becoming a mother Mrs. Lonin-
ger was taken i'll with remittent fever.
Not until two weeks ago was DR.. A. W.
Taylor called. He noticed a breaking out
OF rash on the skin, and as is usual in like
cases prescribed Fowler's solution OF ar
senic to be taken in doses OF four drops
three times a day. A ~two-ounce bottle of
the liquid was procured, and if used accord
ing to directions would have been enough
to last twelve days.
Several days after his first visit DR.. Tay-
lor found that the family preferred to have
another physician, n he accordingly
dropped the case. A homeopathic, DR..
j. v. Roberts, was then called in.
Besides attending to lis practice DR..
Taylor conducts a drug tore. Last week
he discovered the bottle which had con-
tanned Mrs. LoniDger's solution OF arsenic
standing on his prescription case awaiting
it's turn to he filled. He made inquiry and
learned that the bottle had been filed three
times before. He at once became alarmed
and, Fastening to the Loninger homestead
found Mrs. LoniDger dangerously sick and
liable to die at any mo1ent. Since last
Sunday she had many violent vomiting
spells and exhibited every symptom OF ar
senical poisoning.
The nurse said that Mrs. L~oninger had
been taking the medicine herself, as it
seemed to make her feel better. The girl
said she had secured the different renewals
OF the supply by taking advantage Of the
.hange ii clerks at the drug store. In
order to obtain the last renewal she told
the clerk that she had upset the bottle and
spilled the contents. FROM the time that
this discovery was made Mrs. Loninger be-
came steadily worse, and on Friday after.
noon she died.
On the morning of her death the Nurse
was discharged. She Immediately LIFT this
rity and went to Philadelphia. In the
Afternoon she telegraphed to Mr.. Loninger
from the Broad Street Station, asking the
OF his wife. Mr.. Loninger replied
that she a sdead.
The contents OF Mrs. Loninger's stomach
are now in the possession OF Prof. Shipper
Wallace, the Philadelphia chemist. He is
an examination OF them, and has
far found large Quantities OF poison.
n. one can assign any cause for the sus-
pected conduct OF the nurse. Coroner
OF Burlington, will hold an inquest
on June 20.

aQement they deserved.
