Bad for EOtherinphRm.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1.-THE evidence in
the express robbery case, so far as made
public, goes to prove that Messenger David
S. FOtheringham was accessory, or at least
a willing victim in the affair. Discrepan-
ces in his statement to detectives indicate
that he knows more of the manner in
which the robbery was planned and exc
cuted than he would like to have them
know, and an expert penman, who was be-
fore the grand jury last Saturday, states
that the three letters signed Jim Cum
mings" were written BY one and the same
man, and expresses his belief that that
man was FOtheringham, and that he made
them before the commission of the robbery.
1t now transpires that the messengers
trunk was searched soon after the robbery
and a number of scraps of paper were
found covered with copies of the signature
of w. j. Barrett, manager Of the express
company. II is supposed the messenger
became able TO forge this signature so that
he might affiX il 10 the orders which the
robber presented, and which allowed him
to make the trip with the messenger. Of
course, if the messenger was in conspiracy,
his accomplces could have entered the car
anyway, but the forged orders enabled the
messenger to give the excuse that he did.
Altogether, it looks bad for Fotheringham.

the letter recently addressed to it by
the Social Democratic Federation, call
ing attention to the alleged enormous
increase in the number of the poor and
unemployed in London. The board S
reply asserts that in the month of

paupers in London was twenty-five to
every one thousand of the population,
while in the same month of the wear
1868 the percentage was forty-two to
the one thousand, and argues that
these figures prove that if pauperism
has been increasing in London lately
the Government will be quite able to

Since that time / have suffered t0rtures
from an affection Of the skin, rheuma-
tism, and ulcerating sores. During
those long years Of disease l u derwent
treatment at the hands of leading phys
icians in Norwich, Hartford, Providence,
Boston and Chicago. Failing to get
relief at one place, | would go to anoth-
er, but met with the same treatment
and effect everywhere. The quantities
of mercury and potash / have taken
have not only done me no good, but I
believe it has done much harm. l
have been taking S. 5. S. six weeks,
and it is hard to believe my own feel
ings, though the fact that it has done
more for me in that short time than
all other medicines have in twenty
years is plain and undeniable. Six
weeks agoI was total wreck, without
hope. Now that have taken fourteen
bottles of s. s. S. my rheumatism is
among the the things of the past, and
the scars only show that | was diseased.
When / began taking Swi!t's Specific
there Was large eating ulcer over my
right eye which alarmed me greatly,
and no che who sawit thought would
ever get well. Like the other it is
gone, and / thank God for the creation
OF the Swift Specific Co F, and their great
remedy. ID. X. W. BRIGes.
