In the body OF this instrument its
author says that he came to this country
in 1871 and earned SO per day. He soon
became surrounded by chemical odors,
which filled his room and followed him
everywhere. He also found that people
were irving to poison him. 1T was a
conspiracy he says, switch was inaugur-
ated against me by wealthy peo-
pie in 1879 and has no equal in human
history. My business has been ruined and
efforts are being made to ruin my health
and drive me mad by tampering with my
meats and drink" He mentions the
names of Mrs \ T. Stewart, Jud re Hill
ton, Mrs. BowdOin, Trustee b. b. Sher-
man, DIR. Hall and Dr.-presumably bis
hop-Potter as being concerned in the
conspiracy.
DR.. Hall was for a time completely un-
nerved by his narrow escape, but recov-
cred sufficiently to conduct the afternoon
say but little regarding the shoot
ing when seen last evening. He
said that Roth had attended services
at his church at ire, ular intervals
for some time past and that he had helped
him on more than one occasion. thinking
him worthy man, as he certainly was
gentlemanly in appearance and possessed
a good education. DR.. Hall added that
he bad received threatening letters from
the man but paid no heed to them.

What the Work VIII Contain.

FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TRAFFIC

Some Facts About the Safety of Travel
Change in the Law Needed.
The number of passengers carried by
the railways OF the United States during
the year was 492, 430 s65. The aggregate
number OF passenger miles, that is TO say
the aggregate number of miles travelled by
all passengers, was 1,s47, 1861 This
shows an average journey of "a 06 miles
per passenger. The number of tons of
freight carried by the railways of the
country during the year covered by the
report was 636. Al. 617, the average carry
per ton having been 1874 miles.
Where 1t Is Safest to Travel.
The total number of persons reported
by railways as killed during the year was
$3.50, and the total number reported as
injured was %, O34 or the total number
killed 9, AL were employees, 2S5 passengers,
and 5S4 we're classed as "other persons :"
OF the total number injured 90 800 were
employees, 2, 444 passengers, besides 4, 200
unclassified. Railway travel is found to
he the least safe in the states south of the
Potomac and Ohio rivers. Thus in this
territory one employe is killed for each
24l men employed and one trainman is
killed for each 65 men employed One
passengers is killed for each S3S 800 pas
sengers carried. In the states lying east
of Illinois and north of the Ohio and Po-
tomac rivers one employe is killed for
each 300 men employed and one trainman
for each 107 men employed. One passen-
ger is killed for each 2,519.S5l passengers
carried.
Want to Control the Express.
Travel in western territory is slightly
safer than in the southern states. The
report suggests that the law be amended
80 far as statistics are concerned in three
particulars. 1t suggests first, that statis-
tics be collected from express companies,
which under the present Interpretation OF
the act are free from control. The ex-
press companies OF this country pay to
railways as rentals so, 207.7il year.
They are in reality engaged in the bust.
ness of quick delivery of freight, and as
such should be amenable to control. 1t is

Many Alliance Statesmen Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O-According to
Congressman elect Jerry Simpson, only
nine of the Alliance representatives in the
next house will go INTO the Alliance eau
Gus for speaker. Kansas will furnish
five. Nebraska two, Minnesota one and
Georgia one. The latter Congressman
Watson, will probably be nominated for
speaker, as Livingston, who was first Sc
lected for that honor, will go into the
regular Democratic caucus. Sin pson re-
marked with some regret that some of
the Alliance members who had talked
quite independently during the summer,
are now in the Democratic ranks.
