UHISKEY RBVOL UTYONIzED.
A Great Discovery.

From the New Yorh Times.
What bids fair to rcvolutionize the
liquor business in this country Is re-
cent claim of Baltimore concern to
have discovered secret process Of
eliminating fusel oil from whskey.
There is probably nothing in the last
century that has been the source of
more investigation and experiment,
among scientists and chemists, than the
search after this secret, and If the firm
in Baltimore possesses it--as they ovi.
dently do, judging from the statements
of our most eminent men of science,
and the fact that they openly submit
their product to the analysis of any in.
telligent chemist, and challenge the
finding Of any trace of fusel oil or other
poisonous ingredients therein--they
will, indeed, not only revolutionize this
trade, but will reform, in great meas.
ure, the practice of medicine. Already,
owing to the alacrity with which ply.
sicians take hold Of it, it has begun to
be the recognized stimulant In the
treatment of diseases, such as con
sumption, dyspepsia, malaria, aud re-
covery from all wasting maladies. 1t
is likely, therefore, not only to super
cede all other WHISTLES, but brandies,
wines and the like, will have to sue
cumb. The only difference between
these latter and whiskey being the
percentage of alcohol they contain,
this new whiskey, which is said to be
absolutely free from fuse oil, will only
have to be diluted In order to make 1t
correspond In strength with any de-
sired stimulant The absence in It Of
this active poison, fusel oil, will also
make 1t the only stimulant, not fol-
lowed by after effects, most undesira.
BILE IN their character and SO notable
in the use of all other stimulants.
The proprietors are distilling their new
whiskey from malt, and combining, as
II does, food and stimulant quality, 1t
will no doubt have tendency, on &C.
count of its medicinal virtues, to wean
over many of the present devotees of rye
and other manufactures in which the
fatal fusel oil is ever present. This whis-
key, known rs Duffy's pure malt
whiskey, is said to be very agreeable to
the taste and has become very popular
with invalids and others to whom most
stimulants are Objectionable.

Colonel A. y. Buford, president OF the
Richmond and Danville Railroad Company,
says the Richmond State, returned from
New York yesterday afternoon. He stated
to a reporter yesterday that the company
had taken no decided action in the matter
mond to Washington, but had contem-
plated having one OF the vice.presidents act
lively connected with the administration OF
the affairs Of the company and three OF the
head officers connected with the operative
department stationed at Washington.
These officers will be general manager,
probably the traffic manager and possibly
the auditor.

saulted Her.
Miss Jenny Gloyd Of Gaithersburg yester-
day identified colored man named Neal as
the man who feloniously assaulted her in
the woods about two weeks ago. She went
to the Maryland House Of Correction and
picked out Neal from dozen men In the
prison garb, and also picked out his hat
from pile Of dozen. Neal was the first
one arrested for the outrage and Miss Gloyd
could not identify him. He was released
and armed himself with gun and said he
would like to see the white man who would
arrest him again. He was arrested as a
vagrant last Saturday. Miss Gloyd was
considered too nervous to identify anybody
when Neal was first arrested, and she was
therefore given another trial.
