MILFORD MENTIONS.
THE FARMER.

None can dispute that the farmer is blessed
In true independence of labor.
His food doesn't depend on the whim of man
kind
Like that of his mercantile neighbor.
Coo in His goodness looks down from above
Aud paterually gives him his bread
Provided he works eighteen hours every day,
And dsvotes only six to his bed.

MAVERICK TRIAL.
Conflicting Testimony Offered by
witnesses In the Case.

LIVERPOOL, August 3.-In the trial of
Mrs. Maybrick, DIR. Stephenson, one of
the physicians who attended Maybrick,
asserted that one of the patients symp-
toms indicated that he was suffering
from arsenical poisoning.
The nurse testified that when Mrs.
May brick tried to persuade her husband
to take medicine he objected, saying it
was poison. No improper food or medi-
cine was given the patient while she was
in the house. Mrs. Maybrick ap-
peared tender and considerate of her
husband.
A waiter at Flatman's Hotel identified
the prisoner as the woman who occupied
& bedroom Tin the hotel with the man
Briefly.
After the introduction of this testimony
the prosecution announced its case closed.
Sir Charles Russell opened the case for
the defense.
A witness named Bsteson, who lived
with Maybrick in America from 1877 to
1881, Mariner Thompson and a negro
who was Maybrick's former servant, all
testified that deceased took arsenic
habitually. Professor Tidy testified that
the symptoms manifested by Maybrick
were not typical of arsenical poisoning.
The appearance of the organs was con-
sistent with the theory that death re.
suited from gastroentritis.

value. Some contractors from San
Francisco and Chicago are announced to
be coming this way; several from New
York are still figuring here, and it is ex-
pected that by January 1st a San Fran
cisco construction party will be "stirring
up the mud" at Brito, while New
York construction parties will be dig
ging their way toward Lake
Nicaragua from the Atlantic side,
for it is now said to be the plan
of the Nicaragua Canal Company to
attack the isthmusian problem from two
sides, the Atlantic and Pacific, at once.
If this plan is actually decided upon, the
Nicaragua canal will be open for navipa-
ton in much shorter time than at first
contemplated, while inside of cay two
years and half, the grand fresh water
bosom of Lake Nicaragua, draining a
watershed of 800 square miles, will be
thrown open to the world, and say in
about two years and half more, or in
ready for business.
AS a rendezvous for the American fleet,
and as a coaling station and dockyard
for American men-of-war, Lake Nicar-
aqua will form an immensely advanta-
geous addition to the war power OF the
United States. For a feet there as
sembled could coal, provision and repair,
and swoop east or west, strike north or
south, and have safe refuge should such
a safeguard be needed. Thus it will be
readily seen that it must be distinctly
at the start that the Nicara-
qua canal is an American institution,
and that the growth of the strength
Of our navy keeps pace with the growth
Of the Nicaragua canal, even without in
creasing the number OF ships, This Con-
clusion is arrived at from the fact that
our Atlantic fleet az a few hours notice
could reinforce the Pacific feet, or uice
,ersa, while even a small squadron an
,hored in Lake Nicaragua would be ex-
ra useful from the fact that it could
'trike sudden and unexpected blow,
'ither in the Atlantic or Pacific at a
notice,

Wad.el.J umi Slain.
CAIRO, August 3.-General Grenfell
engaged the Dervishes near Toski today,
and completely routed them. Wal-el-
Jumi, the Dervish leader, was killed.
The Dervish loss was 1900 killed and
wounded; the Egyptian loss was slight.
Dervish side include twelve Emirs and
nearly all the fighting men. Fifty stand
ards were captured by the Egyptians.
General Grenfell marched out of Toski
at o'clock this morning with
a strong accommodating force of
cavalry and camelry, and advanced
close to the Dervieh camp. Making
a feint OF retreating drew the whole of
Wad-el.Jumi's force to point within
four miles of Toski. Here the Egyptian
infantry were held in readiness for an
attack, and g eneral action was at once
begun. The Dervishes made a gallant
defence, but were driven from hill to hill.
The Egyptian cavalry made a succession
of effective charges, in which Wad-el.
Jumi aud the Emirs we're killed. After
seven hours hard fighting, the Dervishes
were completely routed. Gunboats are
following the scattered remnants of the
Dervish force along the river.
Later particulars estimate the Dervish
dead roughly at 1900. The Dervishes
fought desperately, throwing themselves
upon the advancing columns repeatedly,
and refusing quarter. The crisis of the
battle was reached when tie Dervishes
attem pted to turn the extreme right of
the Egyptians. The steadiness of the
troops was admirable. The cavalry here
swept through the lines of the enemy,
breaking them up. No prisoners are yet
reported to have been taken. The cav
airy pursued the retreating rebels for
miles. General Grenfell ordered the
the gunboats to pick up fugitives and
wounded.

trasted with the French FiascO.
GREYTowN, Nicaragua, July 1S.-This
hitherto dull little town, destined to be
is rapidly awakening into new life, and
considerable activity. The terrible ex-
ample set by the Panama fiasco has been
a most useful lesson and guide for the
American canal company. All the errors
into which the French company fell have
been avoided by the American canal
managers, and it may be said that every
dollar squandered by the De Lesseps
syndicate has been dollar saved to the
American company.
Sickness, starvation, dissipation and
despair marked the route projected by
the fnanciers of Paris, but health, plenty
of good food, decency and quiet energy
are characteristics of the American en-
gineers and their assistants. Everything
possible to do for the health of the en-
ployees is being done, and still further
efforts are being made in this direction.
Portable buildings of all descriptions are
being continually shipped from New
York to Greytown, and the engineers
and mechanics will soon be practically as
we'll housed in Greytown as they would
be while at work in any part of the
United States.
Recognizing the fact that pure water is
the source of good health, the Greytow
engineers of the Nicaragua Canal Con-
struction Company have just received
orders to survey and lay out the plant for
two large water reservoirs. Fifteen miles
of steel water piping will convey an
abundant supply of perfectly pure water
from the Deseado basin to Greytown.
Thus, 80 soon as the jstty and wharves
are completed, ocean steamships will be
able to ''water" at the company's dock,
The town o: Greytown, otherwise known
as San Juan del Norte, will also receive
its water supply through the canal COM
pany's pipes.
1t is reported in Greytown that the
canal com pany is figuring upon line OF
three American steamships which may
be established between Greytown and
New York, and San Francisco and Brito
one of these steamers to be devoted to
carrying stores and machinery for the
company's use between San Francisco
and Brito for the construction of the Pa
cific hArbor OF the canal, and the other
two to perform like service for the com
pany between New York and Greytown.
