RUTLAND, VT. May S.-The lines are
Tightening around Mrs. Herbert E. Mason,
now under arrest for the alleged poisoning
of her Son-in-iaw, Don G. Parker. He
died about month ago under mysterious
circumstances after exhibiting several of
the usual poison symptoms. An eXamina-
ton OF his remains. brought about by SuS-
picions of foul play, resulted in Mrs. Ma
sons arrest. Parker and his wife
had supplied a plausible motive for
the alleged crime by threatening to
leave the mother, and removing to Bos-
ton. 1t soon came to the ears of Mr.. Ken
dali, the states attorney. that other rela-
tives and close friends of Mrs. Mason had
died in sudden and mysterious way. He
was so impressed with the
SIMILARITY OF SYMPTOMS
in these cases that he obtained leave to ex-
hume the bodies of the dead. Accordingly
three bodies were eXhumen: that of Herbert
A. Mason. the woman's husband, who
died in September, 1882; that of a young son
OF Mrs. Nason,s sister, who died six months
ago, and that of Mrs. G. S. DeBritton, who
died suddenly about the same time. The
body of Mrs. Mason was found in that pc
culiarly fine state of preservation usually
produced by arsenic in the system. Mrs.
DeBrittOn was one of the suspected
woman's closest friends. They were for
ever together, and there seems no reason
able motive for foul play in her case, nor
in that of the infant nephew, unless the
evidence may develop Borgia mania for
poisoning on the part of the suspected
woman.

fully investigated at once and acted upon as
promptly as the circumstances will permit.
A curious evasion of the payment of duty
on imported wool was reported to the treas
ury department yesterday. A flock of sheep
was driven across the Mexican border and
duty assessed on them as live stock. They
were sheared and the wool placed on the mar
ket without having been subjected to duty.
This arrangement resulted in q saving of
about so per cent. in the matter of the duty
alone.

such chance was presented he would know
how to use it. Such chances might come,

no one could get it. He was not fearful of

as no one could

that would be foolish, as it would only put
himself in hole. Jaehne and Delacy,
Alter said. made the most money out of it,
There were twenty-five aldermen paid and
also some outsiders. Francis Lynde Stetson
was then called, and testified at length as
to his connection with Broadway Surface
railroad bilroad bill as counsel for Jacob
Sharp, but said that when he found that
the franchise was to be given to the Broad
way company instead of being sold at pub
lie auction, he refused to have anything
more to do with the case. He
knew nothing whatever about any
bribery in connection with it,
and was surprised at Senator Fassett's
statement. Wilson S. Bissell was next
called. He said he was glad to be given an
opportunity to make an explanation in re-
ply to what Senator Fassett was reported
to have said about him. He had never any
connection with the Broadway railroad,
nor had he ever had any personal or bust
ness relations with any of these reported to
be connected with it. Even with Mr.. Stet-
sen he had never had any business relations
of any kind. He could not imagine how
his name could have been mentioned in
connection with the matter. The hearing
will be continued on Monday.

Terrible Treatment of UnfOrtun
ates by Negro.

ates by n Negro.
BosToN. May S.-A story of extreme
disregard of human rights was told to-day
in connection with case that came before
United States Commissioner Hallett. Last
fall John Gomez, a Portuguese negro, char
tered the eighty-ton fishing schooner Spring
Bird, of Provincetown for trade cruise to
the Cape DeVerde Islands. Being unable
to get a cargo, he shipped as passengers
seventy-fve islanders of both sexes and all
ages. They paid him some $40 or $50
each, and still others in miscellaneous per-
sonal property. No provision had been
made for passengers, and the people were
turned into the hold upon the rough ballast
without beds of any kind. -Four girls,
from 13 to Is years old, were given
accommodations in the captains little
cabin, and serious charges are made against
Gomez for his treatment of them. There
was not enough food for half the number
Oh board, and after the third day out the
daily rations consisted of only a cake of
coarse meal and water, and a little weak
tea and coffee. Men crawled about the
vessel bent double with hunger while
women and children could only lie and
moan. The trip was expected to last
twenty days, but was heightened out ten
days. When the schooner reached New
Bedford on May 1, nearly everybody on
on board was starved to the point of ex-
IRENE exhaustion. Gomez was arrested to-
day charged with violating the requirements
of the passenger carrying act, aud was held
for further examination.
