EASTERN LARD.
Smothered and Cholera-Stricken Hogs
Used by Lard-Makers.

Used by Lard-Makers.
WASHINGTON, March 25th.-The lard
hearing was resumed yesterday before the
House Committee on Agriculture. The
representatives of Fairbanks & Co., testify
ing at length defended the refined lard" as
pure. wholesome food product.
William Bartle, an ex-packer of st.
Louis, continued his testimony. He re-
peated the statement that in most of the
packing-houses smothered hogs and hogs
suffering from cholera were used indis-
criminately with good hogs to make prime
steam-lard. He could, as pork-packer
and experienced farmer, verify all the state
ments he had heard about the manufacture
of prime steam-lard. He had only gone
out of business because he could not pur-
sue it longer and deal honestly.
When he was in business he necessarily
packed cholera stricken hogs, because they
were mixed with the other hogs. He had
cut hogs into hams, ETC., knowing them to
be diseased just as every other packer did.
The meat of a cholera stricken hog was
not poisonous. One of the crying evils
of the times was the shipping of diseased
hogs to market by the farmers.
The man would immortaliZe himself
who would frame legislation which would
prevent the re6ners and packers from act
ing improperly in the manufacture of food
products.

Colonel Fred Grant Replies to General
Badeau's Statements.


New YORK, March 25th-Colonel Grant
makes public very long statement in re-
ply to General Badeaus address to the
American people upon the controversy
which has arisen between General Badeau
and the family of the late General Grant
Colonel Grant says it is his last word in the
matter prior to the hearing OF the case in
Court, and for that reason he presents the
history of the case in extenso.
Under the circumstances, therefore, he
goes over much ground which already has
been covered, chiefly in the negotiations,
with a view TO the settlement of the case
without resort to the Courts, to personal
denunciation of Badeau. and to the argu-
ments going to show that General Badeaus
services we're of a much less important
character than Badeau claims they were.
Nearly all of Badeau's most prominent as
sertionS are denied in toto.

A BLOODY DEED.
Desperate Attempt to Assassinate a Man

New YORK, March 25th.-Chairman
Ben Jones, of the Eepublicaa National
Committee, was interviewed this evening
He said the outlook IS brighter now for
the Republicans than in 1884, in his opin-
ion. President Cleveland has made q
special issue which did ret exist as the last
election. He also said that New York
IS the pivotal State, and any Republican
candidate named can carry the State with
protection as the issue New Yo-k city
has not been won over by The Democrats,
and lis manufacturing interests insure its
vote for protection.
The Pacific coast, which desires protec-
ton, can be counted for the Republicans.
Besides the advantage of championing an
issue favorable to the working people of
country, the Republican party has made
gains IN many States during the past four
years. In 1884 Ohio and Pennsylvania had
Democratic Governors. Virginia was rep
resented in Congress by large Democratic
majority, and the Democrats had made in
roads in several other States. Now these
States have Republican Governors and Vir-
ginia majority of Republican Congress
men. The outlook is certainly encour-
aging

SUICIDE FROM GRIEF.

VIRGINIA New March 25th.-This after
noon Rufus Ford shot himself in the head
with pistol, in Silver City, with suicidal
intent, and the wound resulted fatally.
He was employed as delivery clerk by a
grocery firm in this city, but his parents
reside in Silver City, Lyon county. He
left here at o'clock in the afternoon
in the delivery wagon of his en-
ployers, in company with a brother,
TO visit the paternal residence Soon after
reaching there the discharge of pistol was
heard, and Ford was found lying on the
floor of one of the apartments of the family
residence wounded as above described.
Deceased was brother-in-law of the late
d. b. Sohl, who suicided on the bank of
the Jordan river at Salt Lake City last
week. Ford's sister is the widow of Sohl.
Deceased was devotedly attached to Sohl,
by whom he was formerly employed, and
since Sohls suicide he has been over
whelmed with grief.
A singular coincidence of Ford's suicide
is that he shot himself in the mouth in a
precisely similar manner in which Sohl
ended his life.

If we know all the methods sf approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abied to ward OFF the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes in

oppose the tendency toward death. Many,
however, have lost these forces TO such an
extent that there is little or 10 help. In

VIRGINIA, March 25th.-Seven cases of

were discovered by the President of the
Boord of Health oday. The cases are
divided among three families residing in
separate houses, two male heads of which
are miners and the other blacksmith. DIR.
J. B. Zangerle, the attending physician
was summoned before meeting of the
Board of Health tonight, but he could
give no satisfactory explanation of his fail
ure to report the cases in compliance with
the municipal law, except that he was not
positive that the disease was smallpox, al
though the scabs from the pos;ules result
ing from it were dropping off one or two
of the patients, who are convale scent and
circulating among the children of the neigh
borhood.
Yellow flags are now displayed on the
outside of the premises where the cases
were discovered, and strict quarantine of
the inmates is ordered.
DR.. Zlngerle was arrested for violation
of the ordinance which requires physicians
to report all cases of contagious diseases to
the Board of Health. The ordinance i'm
poses fine of $500 and imprisonment for
sixty days for violation of its provisions
1t is probable the extreme penalty will be
imposed in Zangerle's case,as the discovery
concealed from the public has caused gen.
eral sentiment Of intense indignation both
here and in Gold Hill, and created an ap-
prehension that a serious visitation of the
scourge is now imminent, which the Board
of Health officers thought had been
stamped out.
