POPPY JUICE PURLOIHERS.
Uncle Sam States His Case Against the
Trio of Opium Stealers.
HELD IN HEAVY BONDS.
Clue to a Big Opium Ring Backed
by Wealthy San Francis
eoans.

Special 10 the Globe.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 2S.-A further
hearing in the case of Stone, Lytle and
Cu1nmiSkey, opium Stealers, was held
this morning. Senator Laughlin, cOun-
sci for the prisoners, protested against
the amount of bail fixed, and said that
unless it was reduced he would appeal
to the district judge. District Attorney
Lockwood opposed the reduction, and
said that the examination would show
that several additional offences had
been committed, making possible a
punishment of at least fifteen years
Imprisonment and $4,000 in fines. The
defense waived examination, but Mr.
Lockwood insisted upon hearing some
evidence to prove to the commissioners
that the charges were serious ones
and the bail not too high. Special
Agent Crowley, of Chicago, testified
to finding ten cases containing wood
blocks in Gardner'S rooms in Chicago,
similar to those found in place of the
stolen opium in the custom house of
Ogdensburg. Assistant United States
District Attorney Harris, of Chicago,
testified to finding letters in Gardner's
room, one of which contained a tele-
graphic order for $3.50 on the First Ma
tional bank of Seattle, bought by E. A.
Gardner, and payable to order of j. w.
Stone. Two Chicago tinsmiths testified
to making tin boxes for Gardner.
Special duty collector of customs,
Idler, of Ogdensburg, testified that a
letter signed j. w. Stone was in Stones
handwriting. The letter was addressed
Dear Haines," and stated that young
man named Lytle would agree to take
hand in the shift for $4,000. A post
script said: Il write this in Lytle's

opium was seized yesterday by customs
officers. An officer on the China steamer
City of Sydney and two employees of the
pacific Mail company were arrested for
trying to smuggle the drug. and it is ex-

STREET CAR SERVICE.
Proposition to Form a New Com.
pany on West Seventh Street.

pany on West Seventh Street.
The West Seventh Street union held
a regular meeting last evening, Presi-
dent j. J.'Ellis occupying the chair.
Mr.. Youngman, from the committee ap-
pointed to interview aldermen, reported
that from statements made!by some of
them they would grant, without hesita-
ton, franchise to a new corporation
composed of st. Paul citizens. He
stated that articles of agreement had
been drawn, which were in readiness to
be signed by representative men Of the
city.
c. H. Moore stated that he had been
to Palmyra to see the new PrOsser
motor, which worked very satisfactorily.
He had talk with Col. Davidson with
reference to purchasing two of the
motors, and although there was differ
ence of 5000 in their figures he hoped
that the colonel might come to some
satisfactory agreement. Mr.. Lowry
had sent for Col. Davidson to come to
Minneapolis, and it was his opinion
that Mr.. Lowry was endeavor-
Prosser motor. He thought
strong citizens ASSOCIATION should be
formed to get franchise from the city
council for the ProSSer motor. Some
thing should be done to stop Mr.. Lowry
from getting any further control of the
streets. Cable lines cost 100000 per
mile, whereas good surface track
could be laid five miles and equipped
with fine Prosser moterS for $4,000.
Mr.. Lowry had bonded the street car
car system of st. Paul for its whole cost,
and was now engaged paying the
INTEREST ON THE BONDS.

and compelled to build. as soon as pos
sible, ten miles of car tracks stretching
into the suburbs. He was always brag-
ging that the street-car system of st.
Paul was the best in the country,
whereas it was about the worst.
President Ellis said it took him forty
minutes to get to his place of business
by street car. He thought it would be
we'll to have committee wait either on
Mr.. Barr or Mr.. Lowry TO see if some
thing better in the way of street-car
facilities could not be secured.
MIR. Moore remarked that If it took
forty minutes to get down town by the
street cars, it would take forty days to
get any satisfaction out of Col. Barr,
who sneeZed every time Mr.. Lowry took
snuff.
Sheriff Richter suggested that COM
mittee be appointed to consult with the
common council to see if that body
would not grant franchise to the Citi-
zens' Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany. if such a company should be
formed. The following committees
were then appointed: To secure fran

LOST HIS EYE
While Endeavoring to Hurry a
Check Clerk

Charley Dean, travelling salesman
of undertakers' supplies. had his eye
torn out at the union depot by pug
nacious check clerk May II, 1888. He
hadcome in on the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul train, and was in hurry to
catch the Wisconsin Central. 1t was
necessary for him to check valise, and
as he thought he knew the check clerk
well enough, he endeavored to urge him
to more speedy motions by saying:
Hurry up, there, you little rascalr'
The clerk did not hurry up worth a
cent; he turned upon Dean instead, with
the remark: III you waut your valise
checked any faster, you had better
check it yourself" Mr.. Dean retorted
with the threat: 'If you say that again
I'll slap your mouth" Being dared, he
did so, and in the struggle the check
clerk seized Deans gold-headed UNI
brella and by ali upward stroke lac
Grated Deans eye. Dean commenced
suit yesterday against the st. Paul

BADLY BEWILDERED
And Killed by Train That He
Did Not Observe.

A laborer, named John Winklebauer.
was walking along the Manitoba tracks,
when be saw train approaching, and
stepped out of it's way. He did not OBJ
serve, however. that train was coming
on the opposite track. A companion
yelled at him, but it was too late, for
before Winklebauer had time to retrace
his steps the train knocked him off the
track, through a barbed wire fence, into
pond, killing him instantly. Wlnkle-
bauer was unmarried and about twenty
six years of age. DR.. Guerney, the dep
uty coroner, decided that an inquest
was unnecessary.

HOLDING CHURCH KEYS.
Keeping Congregation and Pas
tor from SSOrship

tor from W OrShip.
Despite the fact that majority of the
congregation of the Pilgrim Baptist
church have decided to retain Elder
Gray as their shepherd, a persistent
minority have possession of the keys of
the sacred edifice and refuse to give
them up for services. Consequently the
elder is in Quandary how to gather his
flock and preach the word to them as he
was ordained to. William Stevens and
Moses Martin, two of the officials of the
church, have the keys, and declare that
they will not give them up to Elder
Gray or any of his friends, and conse-
Quently praise and other meetings of
the congregation have been prevented.
The only time that the church has been
opened since the troubles began was
on the occasion OF meeting the other
night tojnyeStigate the charges made
against the moral conduct of the pastor,
At that meeting none of the prosecutors
made themselves manifest, and the re-
suit was determination by majority
vote to sustain and retain Elder GRAY
in the pulpit of the Pilgrim church.
But as soon as the meeting adjourned
the two officials named locked the
church doors. put the keys in their
pockets, and consequently services were
pursue legal methods to obtain possess
sion of the keys, and application will be
made to the courts with this end in
view.
1--WE have endeavored to prevent pub
1icity as much as possible" said a son
of Elder Gray last evening, tbut mat
ters have reached a climax, and my
father wilnot be restrained any further
by fear OF consequences. He has been
maligned by several women in the
church, but only one of them persists in
her story, and she will not face him be-
fore the congregation, although re-
peatedly urged to do so. My father
courts the fullest investigation of his
actions, but as the charges have been
made openly he wants the investigation
to be public also, and every opportunity
will be afforded witnesses to tell all
they know about him. But he will not.
at the bidding of a minority who base
their statements on the report upon
hearsay testimony, consent to resign his
pastorate.

Paradoxes of Sciance.

The water which browns us, fluent
stream, can be walked upon as ice The
bullet, which when fired from musket,
carries death, will be harmless if ground
to dust before being fired. The crystal
lied part of the oil of roses, SO graceful
in its fragrance-a solid at ordinary
temperatures, though readily Volatile
is compound substance, containing ex-
actly the same elements, and in exactly
the same proportions, as the gas with
which we light our streets. The tea
which we daily drink, with benefit and
pleasure, produces palpitations, nervous
tremblings, and even paralysis, if taken
in excess; yet the peculiar organic as1t
called theme, to which tea owes its
qualities, may be taken by itself las
theme, not as tea) without any appreci-
able effect.
The water which will allay our burn
ing thirst augments- it when CONCEALED
into snow; 50 that it is stated by ex-
plorers of the Arctic regions that the
natives prefer enduring the utmost
extremity of thirst rather than attempt
to remove il by eating snow" Yet if
the snow be melted it becomes drink
able water. Nevertheless, although, if
melted before entering the mouth it as
suages thirst like other water, when
melted in the mouth it has the opposite
effect. To render this paradox more
striking, we have only to remember that
ice, which melts more slowly in the
mouth, is very efficient in allaying thirst.

Pomades and Perfumes.

Pomades are made of purified lard aud
tallow, which have been placed in an
enclosed place where they have absorbed
the odors of the petals of flowers. Olive
oil also absorbs odors in the same way
and is used for conveying them. To
extract the odor from pomades and per-
fumed oils they have simply to be
saturated with alcohol, which absorbs
the perfume. 1t requires large amount
of flowers to saturate a pomade with
perfume, and these must be renewed
daily for months.
Odoriferous essences are obtained by
the distiIlation of flowers thrown into
large copper retorts with water, but only
the stronger odors will endure the heat
without deterioration. The "nower
waters" are made by placing alcohol in
the condensing tank used in distilatioD,
and this condenses and absorbs the
odorous vapor until it becomes fragrant.
Most Of the popular handkerchief ex'
tracts are made by skilfully combining
the odors of several different flowers, and
some inventors have made happy and
profitable hits in this direction. =

Salt Fish Cure Typhoid Fever.

A beautiful young woman, over whose
head had passed but eighteen summers,
and to whom life offered only the pros
pect of unending pleasures, she being
surrounded with all the comforts that
loving hearts and willing hands, sup
ported by adequate means, could afford.
was recently taken very ill with typhoid
fever The best medical talent that
could be obtained was called in, but
without avail, and few evenings since
all was gloom in the handsomest resi-
dence in Fordham, where she lay ill.
Her physicians had departed at q late
hour, saying that before morning the end
would come.
An aged aunt from the country, who
was on visit, happened fortunately to
remember that years ago, when the yel-
low fever prevailed in this city, physi-
clan who had then but recently came
from Ireland, had broken the fever and
saved many lives by applying salt fish to
the feet of the patients. This suggestion
was seized upon by the now hopeless
parents of the girl, and salt mackerel,
which they happened fortunately to have
in the house, were applied to the fair
patients feet by her anxious relatives
during the remainder Of the night.
When the doctors called the next morn
ing. expecting to hear of the death OF
their patient, they were astonished to
find that the fever had considerably
abated. To- day the young woman who
was ..given up" by her medical ad visers,

The Paint Brush Duel.

One of the commonest ordeals to
which novices were subjected in the
painters studios in Paris was the paint
brush duel. The two latest arrivals
we're stripped to the waist and perched
on very high stools face to face at arms
length. They were then armed with big
brushes filled with color, one with
Prussian blue and the other with Grim
son lake, and the duel began. Perfect
strangers to each other, and having no
insults TO avcnge, the combatants went
very gingerly to work at the outset,
anxious to keep their balance and avoid
being daubed with paint. But, stimu-
lated by the shouts Of the spectators,
they gradually warmed to their work.
A first blow was struck and returned 4;

opponents. with their bodies all spIsshed

rolled on the foor. where they exchanged

The official report on the great Yukon
River in Alaska shows that for 600 miles
it is in British territory. This includes
about 200 miles of the gold-mining
regions, where the chief mining camps
are situated. The men are earning $40
to $50 day washing, but the work lasts
only about two months in the year, in
consequence of the freshets and early
frosts. The river is $500 miles long, Of
which 1000 are navigable without a
single rapid or portage. Its breadth is
six to seven miles in places, and averages
three or four. Rivers emptying into the
Yukon are broader than the Hudson at
New York. Little of the region traversed
is ct for agricultural purposes, although
there are valleys suitable for stock-rais-
ing. The country abounds with minerals,
and the winters are not more severely
felt than those of Central Canada.
