MYSTERIOUS CONSPIRACY.
A Case Which is Puzzling the Police
of Baltimore.
From fhe Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
BALTIMORE, MD, Oct. IA, lSSS.-The Bal
timore police are wrestling with a con-
spiracy case which will require more than
ordinary skill TO unravel. The PRINCIPALS
in the case are William A. Taffee, young
lawyer; Hamilton Delahy, a confidential
clerk in a large retail establishment, and
Annie Herbert, the keeper of house of
prostitution. About four weeks ago the
woman received by mail a letter asking
whether she would do a certain job
for $50. This job was to throw liquid,
which the writer would furnish. on
the face Of person he would name. If she
accepted his proposition, she was to answer
through the columns of Il daily paper. This
letter bore no signature, and was at once
handed over to Marshal Frey. The latter
detailed Detective Pointer TO work up the
case. who inserted the following: II. D.
| agree" The next day Annie Herbert re-
ceived bottle filed with sulpnuric acid,
and accompanying it was a letter inform
ing her tha5 William A. Tnffee, a lawyer on
Lexington street, was the man on whom it
was to be used. At the same time he warned
her to keep the stuff out of his eyes. After
waiting several weeks the fiend became i'm
patient and wrote again, asking what she prs
posed to do, and to let him know through
the paper. To this the detective replied by
notifying "H. D." that a letter awaited
him. a decoy letter was then placed in the
box at the American office. George Nc
l. ughlin, small boy, called for the letter
and was at once arrested He said he had
been sent by Ham Delahy, clerk at
Dambmann Bros. Pointer at once appre-
hended Delahy, who was released on bail
for further hearing. His explanation is
that the initials H. D." led him to believe
that the let or was for him. Taffee does not
know Delahr, and the woman knows
neither Delahy declares his innocence, and
the police are at loss for a motive. The
case is remarkable one, and puzzles the
detectives

 In this age of extreme activity and wonderful development, it is notewor- thy fact that many women have made their own way in mercantile life, and successfully compete with men in many lines of business. Women, whether they labor in the household or in the store, are all liable to suffer from functional de- range nents and the cares of maternity. For all troubles known under the cate gory of female weaknesses" Dr. Pierce's Fagorite Prescription is d ionic and tried specific.

A PRosPERous ooUNTRr.

Harry Baker, who returned a few days slnce from an assessing tour through the agricultural and pastoral regions ofSalt river, Tonto and the Sierra Anchas, is thoroughly imbued with the desirability of that section for farming and stock raising, and gives a most encouraging account of the growth of population and present prospect for abundant crops.
 The acreage that IS this year under cultivation is surprisingly large to one who has not visited that portion of Gila county. the present season. More than 70 ranches were entered for as- sessnent, and fully 50 of these are in Salt river valley and along Tonto creek. Nearly every rancher and stockraiser, who has a patch of irriga- ble land, has taken advantage of the copious supply of water with which we are this year favored, and has put ln crops Oi barley, potatoes, etc, and. ih every case that came under Mir. Bakers observation, with most grati- flying results. Farmers on the river 4:. nosy iHt the midst af sAe harvest, and barley never before made so large or so fine a crop.
 Mr. Baker was especially surprised and pleased with the peach orchard of David Harrer. at Greenback valley, and the orchard and vineyard of Chas. Boquot, on Tonto. Thelr trees and vines are iu a fourlshlng condition and give rt5on1se of large returns in luscious fruit.

A SUDDEN SUMMONS,

Our uncertain tenure on this frail
 tenement of clay-for time the abid-
 ing place of the soul-was never more
 fOrcibly brought home to us than by
 the untimely death, by drowning, on
 Saturday evening last, of DavId J.
 Freeman, son of Mrs. Robert Ander-
 son, of Globe. The young man had
 been in the saddle all day, and be-
 tween 2 and 8 o'clock, without watt ing sufficient time to cool of, went
 bathing in a slough at Kenton's ranch, Salt river, and almost immediately on entering the water was taken with cramp, and sank without any intima tion by word or sign to his compan- ions, Mr. Harvey Narron and Wallace Kenton, that he was in danger. The body whom recovered. about midnight, was contorted, and the hands clasped over the abdomen, from which it IS in. ferred that the cramp was in his stom- ach, which would account for his ut tering no cry for help.
 A courier was at once dispatched to Globe to convey the sad news to his mother and other relatives, to whom 1t was terrible shock. The body was brought up from the river on Sunday night, and the funeral took place on Monday afternoon from the M. E. which was .fillea witb sympa- thlzing friends of the berea9ed fami- | ly. Mr. Harrison Jewell read the | burial service of the Episcopal church, and the choir rendered some beautiful and appropriate music, after which the remains were conveyed to the followed by large number of people, and all that was mortal of Davd J, Freeman was consigned to 5he earth Mrs. Anderson, the strick- sn mother, has the sympathy of the in her sorr0w.

MT D. F. Kellner has purchased the home ranch Of Capt. ". c. Watkins, on Tonto, one of the finest locations for a stock ranch in Central Arizona. The buildings on the premises are substantial; tAere is a fine orchard, and a considerable acreage of rich land' easily irrigated from fine spring near the house, which also fur nlshes water to large fish pond well stocked with carp. This purchase ob- vl1tes the removal of the large herd of cattle which Mr. Keliner had previous ly purchased from Capt. Watkins. The range IS one of the best in Arizona and there IS seldom a season when grass IS not plentiful, and water is al- ways abundant.
