Inquiry Into tho Dressed Meat
Business Continued.
WASHINGTON, December 9.-The in.
vestigation Of the dressed beef business
was resumed this morning. DR.. Charles
b. Purvis, Surgeon -in-Chief of Breed
mans hospital, was the first witness.
he makes the contracts for supplies.
This year Armour & Co. have the con.
tract. Last year, he said, presumably
Armour 4 Co. had the contract also, but
it was made in the name of Scannell.
The beef was delivered to the hospital in
the wagons of four different firms in
turns of about week each.
VIM. H. Hoover testified that he
butchered in Washington; that G. Car.
roll told him last spring il would not be
wise for him to bid on Government con-
tracts, for if witness or any of his friends
get any part of those contracts, the Chi
cago.beef men would not sell witness
any meat, and would drive him out of
the market. Witness, however, did bid
and secured some small contracts, where
upon none of the agents of the Chicago
firms of Armour & Co., Swift & Co.,
and Nelson Morris would sell witness
meat, nor any of his friends who tried to
purchase for him. Complaint was made
10 the Chicago houses direct by witness
through the attorney of Armour & Co.,
and Nelson Morris answered, saying
they did not countenance such pro-
ceeding. In order to test the
geDuinenees of these letters, witness
took q friend and endeavored to buy
meat of the representatives of these Chi
cago firms, but he could not do so at
market rates. They asked him two or
three times the regular rates, and they
have never since sold him any meat.
Geo. N. Omohundro, the Washington
salesman tor Nelson Morris, corroborated
the statements made by Hoover; other
witnesses did the same.

DIED,

December |, 1889, at the resi-
dence Of her father near Gordon,
La., Miss Sallie Gibson, aged u
years, one month and twelve dsys'
Several days before her death she
expressed her deep conviction,
that she could not get we'll. Her
suffering was very severe, but she
endured all with quiet resigna'
tion. Besides, o father, five bro
theirs and one sister, she has left
a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn her departure.
1t is hard that one SO young SO
full of life and promise, should
be taken from us. But he who
"doeth Ill things WELL" knoweth
best,
While the trial is sad and hard
to bear, we should all bow TO the
divine decree of Heaven and hum.
bly, say, ''rhy will be done" To
the bereaved we would say, sweep
not for the dear one is gone beyond
the clouds and mists and dust OF
time, and she dwelis forever safe
from the cares and trials of this
world, where you can again re-
join her when you too, have cross
ed over tho river" Dearest Sal-
lie, thou hast left us and thy less
we deeply feel. Thou vast q de-
voted daughter, kind and gentle
sister and q generous-h hearted
nelghbor. 1t is hard to give thee
up, but God in his goodness has
called thee home. But We shall
see thee again when the last trum-
pet shall sound and all the blood
washed throng strike hands on
canaan's happy shore. Yes, there
We shall meet to part no more.
Dearest sallie, thou hast left rs.
And thy loss we deeply feel,
But tits God that has bereft US,
He can all onr SORROWS heal.
Yet, again, we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed,
There in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
A FRIEND.
