Testimony of Several Witnesses Concerning
the Placing Of Arsenic I'm Medicine.

Testimony of Several Witnesses Concerning
the Placing of Arsenic I'm Medicine.
LIVERPOOL, Aug 1.-The trial of Mrs.
Maybrick, on the charge of poisoning her
husband was resumed to-day. DR.. Fuller
testified that he had prescribed tonics for
Mr.. Maybrick. Deceased had never hinted
to him that he had taken arsenic. nor did
he present any indication of having at any
time taken it.
Two chemists doing business in this city
testified that they had compounded pre-
scriptions for Mr.. Maybrick. The medi-
cines furnished by them contained no arse
mic.
The nurse. Alice Yapp, related the Brier-
ly-letter. incident, and testified to seeing
the prisoner pouring medicine from one
bottle into another. A former domestic
depOsed that on one occasion the prisoner
finished a preparation of arrow-root which
she lwitnessl had begun, and that she
fwitDessl afterward noticed dark stains on
the jug that had not been there previously.
Witness also dep0sed that Mr.. Maybrick
received LONDON medicine by post.
The cook testified that the prisoner had
directed that the London medicine be
poured into the sink, saying that Mr.. May
brick would be a corpse if he took another
dose. On cross-examination the witness
generally considered that Mrs. Maybrick
did her best for her husband, but that she
was set aside by his brothers.

which have been prevailing in Montana for

for six days the sun hasnot been seen. The
damage is estimated at $4,000. At Mis-
soula. in western Montana, the streets,
buildings and sidewalks are covered with
mace. The atmosphere is filled with crisp
ciDders that have descended like light

structive of property. In the neighborhood
of the great mining camp of Philipsburg

The Case of Il. w. Oyster, a Democrat Who
Did Dirty Work for His Party.
Special TO the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Some months ago
the Washington dispatches to the Journal
gave an account of the work performed by
the chief of the specifications division of
the Government Printing Office, E. w.
Oyster who spent several days of govern
ment time last summer in making up a
garbled statement of the record of General
Harrison and the Chinese question. This
statement was prepared for and used by
Congressman Bynum in the campaign in
Indiana. and was tissue of misrepresenta-
tions. Oyster has belonged for periods of
greater or less length to about all the po-
litical parties ever formed. He was a candi-
date for Public Printer under Republican
and Democratic administrations. and makes
capita! out of his alleged high standing
with the labor organizations. He relied
upon his pull with the Typographical
Union to retain his place under the present
administration, and not upon his Official
record. He built house with a sand
foundation. and Yesterday, when Public
Printer Palmer's flood struck IL, he was
washed out of office. To-day he is whining
about his discharge, and says that he was
removed because of his connection with the
a par with that which he prepared, at gov
ernment expense. for Mr.. Bynum. He was
removed because he mot wanted. There
are better men TO fill his place. and Mr..
man for the position who stands just as
well with the Union, and better with the
general public and Republican party. There
is no reason to fear that the Oyster family
will come to want because of this particu-
lar bivalve's discharge. There are six or
seven members of his family still in Office.

A MAD HORSE AT LARGE.
1t Races Wildly Through the Streets and Bites
TwoMen and Eight OfItS Hind Before Killed.

CHICAGO, Aug. Ia horse with all the
SYMPTOMS of hydrophobia ran amuck on
Robey street yesterday afternoon, and was
finally killed beneath the shadow of the
Moody tent on Milwaukee avenue. No
tiger of the jungle could have created more
of a sensation or shown a more vicious de-
sire to externinate man and beast. Two
men were bitten and eight horses torn by
the teeth of the maddened animal. A thou
sand people Joined in the hunt to destroy
the brute. For two hours they chased up
and down the streets and alleys, pursuing
and pursued. Four policemen with Lieut..
Penson joined the crowd. Shortly after
noon Mr.. Erickson attempted to hitch his
horse to his meat market delivery wagon
in front of his store. The animal was of
gentle disposition, small and without a
trick or vicious habit. When the horse
was led from the barn he showed signs of
anger. Suddenly throwing back his ears
he sunk his teeth in Mr.. Erickson's arm,
and rearing. struck Mt his master with his
fore feet. The attack caused Mr. Erickson
to drop the halter. The instant the horse
was free he resumed the attack and
chased his master into the meat shop.
on Robey street. He put men. women and
children to flight. and charged at every one
he CHANGED to meet or Overtake. In rush.
ing after three women and several children
he ran over two little girls, knocking them
down, but only slightly bruising them. The
others escaped, one of the women climbing
O fence and the others, with the screamiD z
children, ran up the steps and into the door
of a house near by. When nearing North
avenue, conductor Duffy, of the North
ayeuue line Rfepped mn his car and ca,ipht
hold of the animals halter. He supposed it
was simply a runaway horse. The animal
made vicious snap at him. catching his
right hand with his teeth and taking out
skin and flesh. The conductor let go of the
halter and jumped on the car, the horse bit
ing and striking at him. AS the horse went
down Milwaukee avenue he ran at every
thing he saw, and took a peculiar fancy for
attacking his own kind. Every horse he
passed, and there were eight of them. he
hide from the ribs of some. Others he
caught where he could, but always left the
mark of his teeth. The animals thus in
jured in turn Stcame demOralized and
added to the excit ,ment.
The police finally drove the horse from
the street to vacant lot. Lieutenant Pen
son made lasso of a cloths line. Stand
ing on the sidewalk, he made his throw.
The line Strengthened out in regular Mexi-
can style and settled around the horses
hind leg. The animal started away. and
the officer took turn around a convenient
post. This upset the horse, and in a mo-
ment four bullets were fred into the horses
head. Conductor Duffy had his hand,
which was terribly torn. immediately eau.
terized. He and his family are in agony OF
fright as to the results that may follow the
bite. He is in great pain: Mr.. Erickson
called in q physician and had bis wound
dressed. He says he thinks the horse was
bitten by a mad dog about two weeks ago.

RISE AND FALL OF A SUGAR RING.
Collapse of an Attempt by Foreigners te
Fob the United States Treasury.

Collapse Of Attempt by Foreigners to
Rob the United States Treasury.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA copyright cable to
the Now York Times from London, July 81,
says: / learn tonight from an absolutely
authoritative source most singular lot of
facts about the rise, progress and collapse
of the Magdeburg sugar ring, which has an
intimate interest for the American public.
This syndicate, composed of one wealthy
firm and two smaller ones, started in to buy
all spot sugar offered in Paris. Hamburg,
Antwerp, and London, as well as on the
Magdeburg market. They were financed
by Berlin and Hamburg banks. and under
their operations the price of sugar rose to
29s per hundred weight. Even at the high
est prices they continued to buy, using all
the money they could call up by margins
on short contract for the purpose. In this
way they obtained control of s0,OOO,0OO
pounds of sugar. and stored it all at Mag
deburg. Then they sold the whole amount
to the New York Sugar Trust. at what price
is not stated. but presumably at good one.
The contract with the American purchasers
called for the delivery in New York of su gar
under, thirteen Dutch standard. at which
grade there would be only a moderate Gus
been fultilled the ring would have received
its money on bill of lading. But the
su&af.5rs over the standard. and hence the
duty would be prohibitive. Accordingly a
plan was adopted of cOloring the whole
mass down to thirteen, by which it loses
one point in the polariscOpe as well; but to
do this it was necessary to remove
the sugar from the warehouse for a
month or so, and, as the process is
risky. the banks refused to advance
any more money. This was fatal, because
the syndicate had spent all its own assets
in buying. and. therefore, it HAD to close it's
doors, and the scheme went to pieces. The
crisis had been postponed owing to the
which German financiers believe could
only have come from the American trust,
but this is mere temporary expedient. and
the great crash must come very soon. To
understand the magnitude of this swindle
attempted on the American Treasury. it
must be recalled that the whole transaction
involved some 35,000,0O0. The tariff of this
German sugar in it's actual state would have
been3 3.5 cents per pound. The Magdeburg
schemers tried to reduce it to a grade where
it would only be taxed EOS cents per
pound. The difference between these two
gross amounts would be $1.136.OOO, which
would be what the Treasury would have
lost by the plan if il had not gone wrong.
Under the influence of this collapse the
price of sugar declined from 29s to about
Dos, and it would go lower if there was not
a large uncovered bear account. There is
great curiosity among the sugar men in
Germany and here who know the story, as
to what extent the American trust was in
volved in the attempted swindle. and in
the present effort to avert its consequences.
