announced last evening that Prof.
Haynes, the Chicago chemist, who
had made an examination of John
Sheedy's stomach, bladder and kid

poisoning. This means a virtual
abandment of the poisoning. theory
by the state, and all its efforts will be
directed to proving that Mrs. Sheedy
hired the negro Mcfarland to kill
her husband.

Col MeCIure's Latest Contribution to the
Hamlin ControYersY.

Hamln Controversy
PHILADELPHIA, August 10. - The
Times prints q further contribution &c
the controversy as to Lincoln's wishe:
concerning his associate upon the Presi-
Dental ticket in 1864.
It will be remembered that the dis.
cnssion began with the publication In
the Times Of an article written by Col.
A. K. Mcclure, its editor, 10 which IT
was stated that Andrew Johnson was
Lincoln's choice for Vice President, and
that be favored his nomination instead
Of the denomination of Hannibal Ham
lin.
In the matter printed to-day, Col. Nc
Clure says that he 'deems IL public
duty to settle the issue by the direct
testimony of the men now living, or the
preserved direct testimony of the dead,
who were In the confidence Of Mr.. Lin
coin and acted In accord with his con-
victions OF public duty" Continuing,
Col. Mcclure says: 1.-THE following let
tiers and authentic statements from
prominent actors in the nominations Of
1864 will be generally accepted as con-
elusive. When Mr.. Hamlin himself con-
fesses the correctness OF the statement
of the Times, the folly of controversy
on the question will be appreciated by
all. Mcclure first prints letter he has
received from S. Newton Pettis, Of
Meadville, Pa, eX-Congressman and ex-
Foreign Minister, who was warm sup
porter Of Lincoln. In this letter Mr..
Pettls says:
"On the morning Of the meeting OF
the Baltimore meeting Of 1864 which
nominated Mr.. Lincoln, and Immediate
" before leaving for Baltimore, called
upon Mr.. Lincoln In his study And
stated that l called especially TO ask
him whom he desired TO put on the
ticket with him as Vice President. he
leaned forward and in low but dis
tinct tone of voice said, Governor
johnson, of Tennessee Judge Pettis
further says that when he informed
Mr.. Hamlin of Mr.. Lincoln's preference,
the former said: Il am sorry you told
ma that.
Later, however, the Times article
lows Mr.. Hamlin wrote to Judge Pet
It's as follows: when l met and con-
ferred with you in Washington, and you
told me Of your interview with Mr.. L.,
l had not the slightest doubt Of your
correctness. The remark that made
was caused wholly because you made
certain statements Of Mr.. L. which l
had seen, but which l did not believe
until made positively by you. l was
really sorry to be disabused. Hence l
was truly sorry at what you said and
the information you gave me. Mr.. L..
evidently became alarmed about his re-
election and changed his position"
Col. Mcclure then presents several
letters, extracts from interviews and
magazine articles, showing that Lincoln
was deeply interested in having placed
upon the ticket with him Union Dem
Ocrat.

Thrilling Runaway Of . Pennsyivaniz
Train.

xEALua
DAYros, O., Aug. 1O.-Train No. 81
on the Pennsylvania road is an elegant
" equipped yestibule train. 1t reaches
this city via Xenis ri. SIS p. N The
train consisted Of eight cars, and was
loaded down with passengers east
bound. Eight miles from this city De-
gins grade, the steepest In this part OF
the State. For four miles il IS very
steep, the remaining four being moder-
ately so. The track Is almost 3 bee line
and crosses many much frequented
roads. At the apex OF the grade the
train, being so heavily loaded, &C
Quired great momentum, and Engineer
Davis undertook to lessen the peed,
but found himself powerless- The
air brakes refused to work. Sanding
the track and reversing the lever, dan
gerous things TO do, were tried inef-
fectualIy. The friction became so great,
and the danger Of tearing up the track
and precipitating derailment so In
minent, that IL seemed best to let the
train alone, depending solely on the
air brakes. All this time the momentum
had been increasing, and now the train
was proceeding at sensational pace,
fully 20 miles an hour. Farmhouses
looked like mere specks, and telegraph
poles and fences were matters OF
memory rather than sight. A dozen
vehicles containing people were mar
rowly missed at crossings as the train
went laundering along, leaving behind
a smoke-like trail. Back 10 the coaches
panic reigned. Women screamed
and some tainted. Men became frantic,
and the trainmen, assisted by few cool
or headed men, had their hands full in
keeping some OF the more excited from
leaping from the train to certain death.
Each moment the excitement grew.
The train groaned and the sparks flew
in clouds from the rails. The coaches
rocked from side TO side like drunken
man. Men began to curse and women
TO pray. The train, still manageable,
hurled itself into the suburbs OF the
city, dashed with roar across streets,
successfully crossed the tracks OF the
c. Fl. & d. and Big Four, ran past the
station at sixty miles an hour, and was
not stopped until it reached heart OF
the city. Thousands gathered to see
the train and marvel at it's miraculous
escape from destruction.
Several passengers were so overcome
they could not proceed on their journey.
1t is believed some one either accident
ally or Intentionally opened the air
brakes. Engineer Davis and Conductor
Fletcher, by their bravery and cool
headed conduct, prevented horrible
disaster.

THE ROYAL DWARF.
The brothers Of the Princesses above
mentioned have each Of them helped to
maintain the family reputation for
eccentricity. One of them is King
Francis Of Assist, the contemplate little
husband of Queen Isabella. He is al
most q dwarf, with q squeaky voice and
splteiul character. II Is unnecessary
70 refer here to the shameful history OF
his marriage, which was specially ar
ranged by King Louis Philippe in the
hope that IL would remain 3 childless
union, thereby leaving the succession 70
the Spanish throne TO his own son, the
Duke of Montpensier, who was welded
70 Queen Isabella's Younger sister. De-
spised by every one, King Francis lives
in a misery kind Of a way at Epinsy,
near Paris, merely seeing his wife,
Queen Isabella, twice or thrice year.
He is as celebrated for his avarice as
she is for her great generosity.
KILLED IN A DUEL
Another brother was Prince Henri,
Duke of Seville, at one time the be-
trothed Of Queen Isabella, and who was
killed in duel some twenty years ago
By the Duke Of Montpensler, leaving
son who has distinguished himself as
greatly as his father for his wrong
headedness and hostility to the throne,
which resulted in prison and exile for
them both.
Prince Henri's name, may add, is TO
this day execrated throughout Spain
for having on one memorable occasion
secured his pardon from the Crown By
betraying the names Of all his fellow
conspirators in the Republican plot
which be had himself organized against
the throne. Most Of them were either
shot or garroted.

BRITISH TRADE GLOOMY.
The Mckinley Law Depresses England n
Wall "a America.


LONDON, August 10.-The 50. James
Gazette takes very gloomy view OF the
condition of British trade, and to-day
there appears In its columns an article
commenting in a pessimatic manner
upon the outlook for the manufactur-
ing and other industrial interests of
Great Britain. 1t says: Judging from
the returns issued by the Board Of
Trade It looks as though we have al
ready reached the end OF good times.
The great decline in the exports from
Great Britain is undoubtedly due to the
operation of the Mckinley law In the
United States. We have been told that
the act would eventually prove real
misfortune TO the United States, but its
immediate object was to hit foreign
manufacturers, especially those OF
Great Britain, and 1t is plainly evident
that this object has been attained"

A CURIOUS LAWSUIT.
The Lengthy and Expensive Litigation
over a Cask of Wine.

800"
Laws concerning wrecked property
are numerous and complex, especially
in England. AS a general thing the
King or Queen is entitled to such goods
as may be thrown ashore by the sea,
if the rightful owners do not claim
them. A curious case was tried at the
end of December, 1909. between the
crown and Mr.. Constable, lord of the
manor Of Holderness. IN Yorkshire.
The object in dispute wasa cask of VINE
thrown ashore on the coast of that
manor. The lords bailiff and several
custom-house officers arrived at the spot
about the same time, and each party
claimed the liquor. The officers said it
belonged to the King, and the bailiff
said it was the property of the lord Of
the manor. A long parley followed.
The officers went to the custom-house
for further instructions, and while they
were gone the bailitf removed the cask
of wine to the manor-house cellar.
When the officers returned they claimed
that now it certainly was the Kings
property, for it had been removed with
out a permit. To this the bailiF replied
that if he had not removed the cask
the next tide would have done SO. The
Attorney-General brought suit against
the lord of the manor, and the case
came on at York, on the question
whether the bailiff was right in remov-
ing the wine without a custom-house
permit. Long and learned arguments
pro and con were made, and then a
special verdict was made transferring
the case to the court of %exchcquer. The
Judgment finally announced was that
the cask belonged to the lord Of the
manor, because no permit was required
unless duty had been paid. The wine,
having come ashore byitself without hui
man agency, it vas not imported, and
hence was not liable to duty. Though
the victory rested with the lord of the
manor. the cask of wine proved the
most costly he had ever acquired, as he
had to bear his own expenses in the Hti-
cation Chicago News.
