George Powell Remembers Sharp's
Pointed Remarks.

New YORK. Feb. 2T.-The Broadway

tinued to-day. George Z. Powell, em-

sent of the Broadway property-owners.
testified 10 frequently seeing Billy Ma
loney at conferences held with Sharp and
tahey ut the Fifth Avenue hotel. Ma
Ioney once brought package which, ae-
corning To PowelPs description. was about
the size of package of greenbaeks. Wit
ness did not know what was i'm it. Wit
ness once told Sharp he feared the mayor
would veto the resolution by the board of
aldermen, granting the Broadway railroads
franchise, the result would be disastrous
Witness continued as follows:
He tSharpl said he he had the board fixed
ana that the resolution would be passed
over the mayors veto. He did not name any
sum of money or amount necessary to dx
the board. may have done so, but don't
remember having named the sum of $780,
UUO as the amount which was or had been
necessary for that work. He did not seem 10
have any apprehension as To the failure of
tine board TO pass the resolution. but pooh
hooed the idea, and said il was all id nom
sense.
Witness averred Billy Maoney took no
part In the consultations when witness was
present, but supposed he was there on some
business connected with the board of alder
men. of which he was reading clerk He

When the committees turned IN the hnnlxs

When produced two OF them were clasped

one. The great ledger was then opened
and the discovery made that the index was

Solution OF the Great Secret.

have just received the first news of the
most startling discovery Yet made iii this
branch of chemistry, which brings Us
nearer to the solution of the great secret
than almost al else that Las preceded it. 1t
is simply this, that the ultimate cells of
which all organic matter, vegetable and
animal, is butt up, contains au ulka-oidal
substance cale. adeEine, which is tue exact
isomer OF hyd! ocyanic Or prussic acid; and
further, that this substance is being pro-
duced y the normal deco npoSition of tn.
nuclei Of these cel.s-a process which is con-
tinuous as long as life exists.
This discovery shows that the ultimate
particles or cells OF the healthy body are
engaged in the cecseless production of a
poison OF the mcs5 tremendous energy, but
which, SO long a. tho machinery OF the
system is in perfect working order, is ren-
dered inert as fast rs it is yrolucel Ly tie
