eyes, that is the box. There was
dynamite in it. Lining said So"
The witness said that after supper
on that day, he went to the carpenters
meeting, but afterwards went to 81
Lake Street, and then, accompanied
by friend named Schmiedke, he went
to Neff's Hall, on Clybourn Avenue.
On Clybourn Avenue he met Lingg and
Seliger. Some oneremarked that they
ought not to be seen together, and SO
they went up North Avenue, where
they met Thielen.
The witness explained that at 3
o'clock the next morning he crawled
out of bed and took the dynamite and
bombs back of Ogden's Grove, and
went there on May II or 20, with a
police officer, and obtained the bombs
and dynamite.
The witness said he had belonged to
the North Side Soclalistic Group,
which met at So Clybourn Avenue.
They drilled there nearly every Mon
day night with guns. The latter were
kept at the witnesses home. He ex-
planned that $40 was raised from the
sale of teer at dance at Florus Hall,
on West Lake Street, last February,
which was turned over to the armed
force of the carpenters to buy ammu-
milton with, but was afterward given
to Lingg to buy dynamite with.
The witness said Lingg was aU these
meetings and bought the dynamite.
In February last, the witness said,
Engel made a speech at So ely
bourn Avenue, when he explained
how easily and cheaply dynamite
could be made, and how gas pipe could
be filled. Engel explained how to fill
the pieces of gas pipe and to arrange a
fuse, and said the outer portion of the
pipe should be bound with nails and
wire, so that when the bomb exploded
it would cause greater havoc.
At the meeting when Engel made
this speech the witness was chairman.
The cross-examination of Lehman
produced nothing additional, and did
not change his original statements.
A reporter named Dresser described
speeches made by Spies, Parsons and
F1elden, and their threats to blow up
the Board of Trade, and declaring
that such men as Marshall Field,
John w. Doane and George M. Pull
man ought to be killed.

Although speculation at the Stock Exchange ives

The Committee Have Another Nee,

The Committee Have Another Meeting.
A meeting of the Putnam Statue commits
sion was held at the Office of the Hon. Henry
G. Robinson in Hartford on Saturday morn
ing. There were present Messrs E. S. Cleve-
land, H. A. Tyler, Henry G. Robinson,
George G. Sumner and Mayor Holcomb of
New Haven. The absent ones were Messrs
Mclean and Seymour. The meeting was
for the purpose of considering the proposal
of Karl Gerhardt for the construction of
statue and pedestal of General Putnam and
awarding the contract. The proposal and
general details were discussed and arrange
ments are now being made to complete the
contract with Mr.. Ge.hardt. This matter
referred to a subcommittee consisting
of the four Hartford members, viz: Messrs
Mclean, Tyler, Robinson and Sumner, upon
whose action will depend the award of the
contract. There is scarcely a doubt of the
final completion of the contract with Ger
hardt, but it cannot be said to-day that an
award has been made.
Colonel Tyler, the secretary of the COM
mission, was elected treasurer. It is the
wish of the commission that the statue and
pedestal be completed by June /, 1887.

Contest of the Rev. Father LAWYERS

WATERBURY, Sept. 25.-Christopher and
Peter Lawler, of this city, are eagerly con-
testing the will of their brother, the Rev.
Father P. P. Lawler, who died in New Haven
last spring. 1t was believed that there was
no will in existence and the surprise was
great when another brother, also priest in
New Haven, the Rev. Father Martin Lawler,
brought out a will in which the property was
given to him in trust for a nephew, Frank
McEvoy. One of the witnesses to the will
was Margaret Murphy, then servant at the
deceased priests house, and now a servant
for the Rev. Father Tatro ON Seventy-sixth
street, New York. She now deposes that
she never signed but one document and that
was on the day after the priests death, she
understanding at tine time that it was doc
ument of different nature. This is consid-
cred convincing evidence for the plaintiffs on
the appeal from probate.

When Elihu Yale founded that time hon
ored institution of learning, Yale College, he
struck blow at ignorance that has rever-
berated for more than two centuries through
out the length and breadth of the land, and
placed his name in the foremost rank of
Americas public benefactors. But greater
scourge than ignorance is now running
rampant in our midst. Do you know what
ails you when you have dull headache no
appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat;
specks pass before your eyes; low spirits;
an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con-
stipated; an appearance of red or white
brick dust in the urine tired feeling and
don't know what ails you? You have fallen
a victim to that modern scourge, Malaria.
Nothing on this earth will tone you up so
quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria

cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and
