More Dissatisfaction.

CHICAGO, Feb. ga dispatch from
Emporia ana Topeka, Kansas, printed
here this morning, asserts that dissatis-
faction exists among the engineers on
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe system who, is 10 stat
ed, claim that the company
has not lived up TO Its agreement.
When these dispatches were shown TO
officials OF the brotherhc I'd In this city,
they declared that 1t was the first they
had heard OF It, and they did not be-
lieve the report was true. Had their
men any grievances they would have
heard OF 1t, at least ms soon rs the news
papers. No complaints whatever have
been made by the lodge on
the Atchison system. United States
Marshal March says no official notlica-
ton has yet reached him, calling upon
him to take any measure, whatever, 10
relation to the strike on the Burlington
road. so far there has been no inter-
ruption beyond trivial and indirect de-
lay to the transmission OF the United
States mails, and no obstruction In this
direction Is apprehended. Thirty-two
engineers In charge of the Burlington
agent arrived on the Pennsylvania road
last night. The agent would rot say
what they came for, but from T marks
dropped by some Of the men. 1t is I'M
derstood that they are part OF cOnsign-
ment from the Reading road.

A MODERN BORGIA.
A WHOLESALE POISONING At
TEMPTED.
The Family OF our City Engineer.
Mr.. S. p. Maury, Narrowly
Escapes Death Dealing

mr. .. y. Maury, Narrowly
Eecapes Death Dealing
Dose.
An important arrest was made
by Policeman James Van RipeI
last night about s o'clock, the
party arrested being IA yea
old negro girl who has been working q
nurse and help In the family OF City
Engineer Maury who lives on Oakland
street. The giri's name Ia Lizzie Binz
and she is now In the county jail on the
charge OF administering poison to Mr..
Maury and family.
The particulars Of The arrest are about
as follows.
Lizzie Binz hes been working In Mr..
Msury's family for long time and has
been treated by master aud mistress
much as one Of the family, having a
great many privileges not often accorded
servant. Heretofore she has
discharge A few DAYS ago,
however, the family became Iii, all oom-
planning Of pains and nausea, and DR..
Jones was called In but could not dag
nose the case, not suspeoting that
poison could be administered the family,
and having no suspicion OF anyone.
Last night Mr.. Maury called for
bis tea, and while drinking II dis
covered peculiar Odor and paused.
He then suspected all was not right, and
calling the girl, asked her If che had put
anything In the tea. She said yes. She
bad put the contents OF q certain bottle
In the tea pot. The bottle contained vapor
o'eosiine, very strong poison, which
had been put safely away for another
use. When asked why she had done
this she said q white woman, Liza War
rem, had told her to do 1t and instructed
her how 10 do it. Afterwards by her
confession 1t was learned that she had
thrown, some days previously, a large
quantity OF 'Rough on Rats pois-
on In the filter OF the cistern,
for the purpose Of poisoning the
family. Nearly every member of the
family used the water, and 1t made
them very sick, but had no dangerous
results as the mineral poison sank to
the bottom OF the cistern.
This girl must also have made
a separate attempt upon the life
OF the two months old baby
OF MT. Maury. Yesterday, while 10
another room Mr. Maury heard the child
cry aud ran to it. As he came in the ne
gro girl stepped away and he saw the
child splitting from It's mouth. Later in
the day the child became very sick and
vomited freely. Three red finger marks
now appear on the child's forehead and
this is also circumstsntial evidence that
the girl was trying to force poison
down the chiId's throat.
This morning the white woman Liza
warren was arrested. She is about So
years old aud formerly worked 10
Maury's household. Believing her not
quits sane and as abe threatened to kill
the children, she was discharged and
since then she must have been nursing
her insane revenge and planning with a
msnisc's cunning the above detailed at
tempt at murder, using the girl as her
tool. A charge of lunacy has been made
against the woman.

Train Robbers In Arkansas.

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. pa special to the
Post Dispatch, from Pine Bluff, SAYS
the train robber has again appeared In
Arkansas. This time on the st. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas railway, about %
miles below this city. As ira number
two, north bound. stopped at Kingsland,
about one o'clock this morning three
men stepped on the platform OF the bag
gage car next 10 the engine. About q
mile from Kingsland the train suddenly
came to stsndstill and the conductor,
j. B. Browning stepped to the door to
see what was wrong. As he opened the
door bullet whistled by his head and
he at once retired Inside OF the car,
where he remained during the trouble.
The robbers went to work In q cool and
CINE and commanded the engineer, Rue,
and fireman, Ed. Harknett. to hold up
their hands. HsrKnett was just In the
act OF putting shovel full of coal In the
fire box and supposing IL was one OF the
train men trying perpetrate q joke,
he dropped his shovel exclaiming
"ah there" The robber with
grim humor dropped the muzzle
Of . six shooter against the
firemsD's cheek with the words:
''stay there you" The fireman quickly
climbed down from his box. Taking
the fireman aud engineer with them the
robbers ordered them to call on
the messenger to open the car.
They did as ordered but he
refused to show up. Then be-
gan fusilade without effect. The rob-
bers then fired the car, and then forced
the engineer and fremen to precede
them. They then entered the car and
the messenger opened the safe and
turned over all contents to the robbers.

PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN At

The beauty of the new magnes-
ium cartridge is that the amateur
may now take photograph of him
self in his own room. He sets up
camera, adjusts the focus by means
of an ordinary lamp, lights the fuse
and takes his place before the cam
era. The picture is taken instan-
taneously as soon as the mixture
flashes up. The chances are that
this new invention will make the
detective camera of use TO newspa-
per men at night. By the use OF
the cartridge a picture can be TAX
en- Of any building or scene, not
only at night, but even if the night
is a rainy one. A few minutes will
develop the picture, and then the

from the wet negative, and process
work is now SO rapid that a finished
block can be made in time for morn.

THE ANTIQUITY OF PAPER

DIR. Julius Wiessner has been
making microscopicial examlna-
tion of some old manuscripts, in
order to discover of what ingred-
tents the paper on which they are
written was composed. He has con-
clusively proved that linen rags
were used i'm the manufacture OF pa
per as early as the eighth and ninth
centuries. The fiber is chiefly of lin
en-, but there are also traces of cot.
ton, hemp and animal fiber present.
The manufacture of paper, he says,
is an Eastern and not a German
or Italian invention, as has hither,
to been supposed. Out of five hun
dred Oriental and Eastern specl,
, mems, not a single one was raw cot
ton paper. All those that were ex.
amined had likewise been "clayed'
like modern papers. The material
used for this purpose was starch
paste manufactured from wheat,
aud in some cases buckwbeat. An
imal substances 90 not appear tC
have been employed for clay lug
before the fourteenth and fifthtcen
til century.-St James Gazette.

SECURE A HOME IN THE LAND DF FLONRs
DINSMORE!

III 1NONlOl\L.
One of the growing towns of the
South, is situated on both sides of
Savan ah, Florida s. Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and a successful horti.
cultural and truck-growing section
of the State. Dinsmore can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and half drive over an excel
lent plank and she'll road.
Dinsmore is not one of the isola-
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The land can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures a poor man can make regu-
lar payments on a valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act
ually thrown away. 1t is an in
yestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, s65, $50, S35. Sec
ond choice, $50 SIS. Third choice
! SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, S5. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adj .cent to
Dinsmore, containing from five to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at S5 acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State of
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
sTruck farming around DinSmore
would be at the door Of two Of the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy a lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think Of it. There are
eight passenger trains per day and
the round trip will only cost TWEEN,
ty-fve cents. Trout creek, large
stream passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance Of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. 1t is the very best chance
you will have TO secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore are
enjoying good trade and the
town is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
desire work can get from a dollar
and half to two dollars per day
