Why Canned Meats Poison.

When people are poisoned by eating
canned meats, ii is not because there
was poison In the meat before the
can was opened, but because the
meat had been allowed to develop
the promaine poison Of putrefac tion
after the can was opened. 1t was not
canned salmon, the other day, that
poisoned family that ate II with i'm
punity The first day after it was
opened, but 1t was salmon that was
spoiled by forty-eight hours ex posuse

1t Is very rare that any one is made
sick by metallic salt in canned foods.
The only metal that may cause
poisoning IN the case of these foods
IL lead, and this is as unlikely as the
falling Of meteor on your head. 1t
j. not supposable that lead is present
iu the coating Of the tin plate, its use
for this purpose being illegal and pro.

TIE BIG RAILWAY TRUST
A Fixed Fnct-Jay Gould In It-RusSGll Sage
Says It's n Good Thing.

A Fixed Tnct-Jny Gould In It-RussGll Sage
Says It's Good TilIng.
New YoRK, Nov. 27.-The Times says
a conference was held at the Windsor
hotel last night that had to do directly
with the proposed big railway trust. in.
formation concerning which was pub
lished in the Times nearly week ago.
At last nights meeting Mr.. Russell Sage,
representing the Gould interests, met
directors of the Rock Island and Atchi,
son Companies. Mr.. Sage later said that
there was little doubt about the success
full carrying ont OF the scheme. 1t was
practicable and had the endorsement ol
good many influential and experienced
railway managers. 1t was not the plan
Of one man, but was made up from sug-
gestions proposed by ut least dozen
railway magnates. 1t would work. In
this opinion, said Mr.. Sage, every prac-
teal railway manager who has been con-
suited agrees. The financial powers
back of the railways, added Mr.. Sage,
are even more ardent in their espousal
Of the project than are many managers.
Mr.. Sage insists that the carrying out ol
the trust scheme will insure permanent
peace in railroad circles, prevent all rate
wars, keep up dividends and make in
Vestments safe. Mr.. Sage doesn't like
the term "trust." II is an offensive
title, and some other name should be
used by the public. President Strong,
oil the Atchison, is quoted us committed
to the scheme. Some essential parts Of
the plan are OF his proposing.
Messrs. James and Jesse Seiigman, to
whom credit is largely due for the settle
ment OF differences in the southwestern
railway field, are confident that the pro-
posed clearing house pian will work sat
iSfactorily. Mr.. Jay Gould holds the
same opinion. Beforethe plan was com.
plcted Mr.. Gould personally revised
every paragraph of it, and he has gone
to work with energy to induce otherrail'
road managers to give adhesion to the
scheme. Yesterday he spent over an
hour in conference on this subject at the
Windsor hotel with President r. K
Bable, OF the Rock Island. Mr.. Gould
says unhesitatingly that in his opinion
the plan proposed will eventually bt
accepted by all the roads Of the country
So far his friends explain no seriout
snags have been struck.

+BLACK DAET," THE llIGHwAYMAN.

A Detective Traces tho Numerous Rob-
berles to the Noted Outlaw.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 2s.-A detective
in the employ OF Wells, Fargo & Co. is
authority for the statement that the re-
cent series of bold stage robberies in
Northern California were the work OF
"Black Bart" the famous lone highway
man, who robbed thirty-one stages in
this State before he was finally captured
five years ago and sent to San Quentin.
Bart whose real name is Bolles, came
from Missouri, and began his robberies
in 1870, and for thirteen years he com
pletely mystitied the police. His system
was to watch stage coaches with power
ful field glasses, and when he found no
armed guard was on the stage he would
mask himself and hold up the stage
without regard to the number OF passen-
gers on board. He regularly returned
the money and valuables to the female
passengers, and it was his custom to
leave doggerel verses on broken express
boxes, making game OF the detectives.
He was finally caught in San Francisco
and sent to San Quentin for seven years.
Tho detective learned that "Black Bart, !"
after his release last January, went to
VisiIIa, in Vern county, and registered
as Moore.
When the stage was robbed near
Reading last July, the detective sus.
pected Bart and investigated. Hefound
all the familiar methods used by the
highwayman, and since then three other
stages have been robbed in neighboring
counties, all by the same skilliui hand.
Descriptions ofthe masked highwayman
as well rs his daring and skill, cores
pond with Bart. Detectives vehopes
Of soon catching him, but the prospect
is dubious, as he has eluded them before
for more than ten years.

tcrday-OhIo Men Confer.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2S.-Every day
now witnesses the arrival OF q fresh
batch of distinguished statesmen and
politicians, making their pilgrimage to
the big brick fenceless house out
on Delaware avenue. Among the
President-elecps visitors this fore
noon were Senator G. B. Farwell
and General Martin, chairman OF the
Illinois Republican Central Committee.
They came from Chicago on an early
train, and were accompanied by Colonel
Fred Grant. Senator Farwell admitted
that their mission had reference to Chi
cago and Illinois politics, and did not go
beyond that. Colonel Grant informed
the correspondents that his visit had no
connection whatever with politics.
The evening train from Cincinnati
brought two distinguished pilgrims from
Ohio in the persons OF Hon. NJ. A.
Hanna, of Cleveland, and Congress-
man Ben Butterworth, OF Cincinnati.
They held conference with
the President elect ut 1880 this
evening, remaining in consultation
nearly a couple OF hours. The well
known intimate relations OF both gen.
tlemen, especially Mr.. Mark Hanna, with
Senator John Sherman, contributes
much matter Of interest to their visit,
and offers the theory that the President
elect is making something Of study OF
the intricacies OF Ohio politics, but to
what purpose can only be conjectured.
General Harrison received a box OF
large fine apples to-day from P. I. Tur-
ley, OF Huntington, West Va, who
writes that the fruit is new variety of
seedless apples, which he has christened
tho "Ben Harrison"
It is winter apple, large, solid and
OF bright red color with de-
licious white meal. Gen. Harrison up
to date, has had mountain named for
him, two big gus wells, new variety OF
apples and forty.four babies.
Mrs. Harrison held her first weekly
..afternoon reception to-day,
assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Mckee,
md her guest, Mrs. Brown, the daughter
of Ex-senator Davis, Of West Virginia.

"All the world loves lover" Quite
u gathering OF those who believe in tho
old adage, or wanted to solve the enigma
"Is marriage failure" visited the
Opera House last evening where Florino
Arnold is presenting her comedy drama
"Her Husband" The star was n most
satisfactory MdrjOry Lee, the heroine of
the drama, which reminds one OF Hazel
Kirke," but has decidedly a stronger
comedy view. The plot Of the piece is
very interesting, and skillfully arranged
30 that one scene leads up to another,
and the audience closely follow all the
dialogue and action. The many good
points were appreciated and liberally
nppiauded, there being two curtain calls.
Florine Arnold is n young, handsome
and intelligent actress, who successfully
meets all the requirements OF star.
Her part is varied and sometimes diff
cult, but she acted with natlral and
easy grace that in no way offended the
taste. Her support us whole was ex-
ceiient. Especial mention should no
made OF Evelyn Evans, who plays Col.
Lee, and the freddy Sinlpkins, OF Edwin
Parrish. Florine Arnold and "Her Hus-
band" should become a strong and pop
ular attraction.

Arrandal and his son and IN unknown
cooper, all Of Sellersburg, went coon

shot gun between them. On freeing
the coon the cooper took the gun and
shot. 1t exploded, driving the breech

almost scaiping young Middleton, The
elder Arrandal was knocked down by
the gun barrel, and his sons face was
horribly lacerated. The injured men
were compelled to walk seven miles fol
medical treatment. Young Arandal

The statements voluntarily made by
the election officers Of Martins School
House, Green District, wetzel county,
will challenge the attention OF every
citizen OF West Virginia. These officers
resent the Implied accusation that they
We're dishonest or phenominally stupid
in the discharge OF their duty.
Allthe reasonable presumptions OF the
case are in their favor. They had no
reason to cheat Pendleton out OF fourteen
votes. After the ballots left their GUS
lOdy there was opportunity for them to
be tampered with by persons who had
reason to cheat Atkinson out Of all the
votes that could be taken from him.
It is clear as daylight that those bal
lots were changed for Pendleton after
they reached New Nfartinsviiie. The
job was easy for one who had access to
the ballots, and the ballots lay open in
an open box in q vault with an open
window.
The ballots could have been reached
even il they had been sealed. To run
pencil through Atkinson's name was Al
easy as lying, and this is what was done
Otthis there can be not shadow of I
doubt.
The only question is, who did itP Tht

great deal about alleged Republican
frautis in Kanawha county. Its dis
patches agree with those that appear in
the fNTELLIoENcgR in so fur as they dc.
scribe the ballots having been tampered
with. They differ, however, in one par
ticular, and here is where the laugh
comes in. After charging that the Re-

REGISTER proceeds 10 show, both editor

they having gained steadily in the re.
count. Now, does II not stand 70 -rea'
son that II the Republicans did.the
crooked work, the Democratic vote
would have increased. In one precinct
where the Register alleged Republicans
had torn open the returns and altered
them, the Democratic candidates made
heavy gains on the recount.
Another cause foriaugh is the Registers
attempt to explain the recount in
two or three precincts in Wetzel county
by saying the men who made the origi-
nal count were old md blind. tits ike

were so many, and that they tVerc all IN
