reputable physicians present who were
willing TO go 10 the cemetery and ex-
anime the patient, and asked the Court
TO permit an examination Of Williamson.

had had smallpox, or had il at present,
or II there were any indications that he

withdraw the application for writ.
Judge PAUL took the matter under con
sideration, and the taking OF testimony
was resumed.
DIR. Reed Balrd-Had some expert
ence in smallpox cases. Williamson
came TO him about the 9TH inst. and
complained OF an itching eruption on his
hands, face and body; looked like
scdbles. Questioned him closely as To
his constitutional condition, aS a guide
TO treatment of the disease. Tongue was
coated; prescribed simple remedy for
indigestion. and told him to come back
next day. In the morning he found
a puStule or two on his hands md bur
rows between his fingers; nothing on his
face. He visited him at the cemetery
in company with Dr. Ulrich. His hands
were in Il worse condition, and the skin
generally inilamed; looked like he had
been scratching himself. There were
no indications that he was taking or re-
covering from smallpox.
DR.. Garrison was next placed on the
stand. He is a graduate Of Jefferson
Medical College, In Philadelphia, aud
has been a practicing physician for six
teen years. In answer to direct queS-
tion, he said Williamson has the small
poX. He has seen him daily and every
indication has strengthened his cOnyic-
tion that it is a case OF small poX. The
boy is getting along nicely and will
soon be cured.
This ended the taking OF testimony,
and after an argument by Capt. Dove
ner, Judge PAUL dismissed the writ,
holding that he could not decide the
case where the testimony is conflicting.

THE LIBERAL VICTORY.
Gladstone aud III, Followers Rejoicing
over the Result at Hartlepool.

LONDON. January ee Mr. Gladstone
has telegraphed his congratulations to
Mr.. Furness over the result OF the
lIartlepool election.
Everywhere throughout the country
the Liberals are rejoicing over the
victory, which takes another seat from
the Conservatives aud assures the unity
Of the Liberal party.
Now that the victory Is won stories
are coming out Of the methods resortcd
TO in order 10 control the Votes Of the
worklAgmen for Mr.. Gray, the Unionist
candidate. No open intimidation was
resorted 10, as in an English election
that would be- fatal, but circulars were
distributed, showing all that Mr.. Gray
had done for the place, that he bad beet

avoided personal allu,iou.
Coming just at the opening of Parlil-

cannot conceal their disappointment,

cannot keep control of the Government.

A HUMOROUS VEIN
RUNS THROUGH TIE INVESTIGATION OF THE
SILVER POOL.
A Witness TesiifsS that BE Wrote Speeches on the
Silver Question Which Were Delivered by Con-
grsssmen-Se Senators Teller and Wolcott
Deny Any Knowledge Of the Pool.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-Senatol
Stewart was the first witness before
the silver pool investigating committee
this morning. He testified that he had
no knowledge OF any Senetor or member
being interested in silver speculation
or of outside efforts to promote legisla-
tion.
EN-. Hill testified that he was law
yer and writer and had talked with
Hedenperg and Mr.. George, who was
present at the time and said he was a
wealthy real estate man from Chicago.
Hedenberg told him he could make
some m.ney by selling silver certificates
to Senators. Witness replied that the
members of Congress he knew were so
damned poor they could not put up sa5
margin. Laughter. He did not
want to go into the thing and turned
it off with q lauSh. He had written a
number Of bi-metallic aOticles, some of
which were in the Congressional record.
Mr.. Dingley-Do you mean that they
were delivered as speeches?
WitneSS-I do not know what was
done with them. Laughter.
Mr.. Oates-What do you usually get
for speech?
Wltness-If you desire, | will make
terms with you, Mr.. Oates. Renewed
laughter.
James A. George, who said he ran
provision store in this city, testified to
being present at conversations between
Hill and Heidelberg. His general state
ments of thefe conversations agreed
with HIPS. Hedenberg had told him
he (Hedenberg) had got a pool organ
lied that held at that time million
ounces of silver. Heidelberg wanted
witness 10 see Southern members In the
interest OF the House bill, and said he
did not want free coinage. Heden6erg
said he would look after Illinois mem
bers. Hedenberg had asked witness to
sell silver certificates 10 members.
Senator Teller then took the stand.
He had never heard of any pool having
any silver until he had read 1t in the
newspapers. He had never been APP
preached. OF course he had heard
there was speculation in silver certiil-
Gates In New York. as there was specu-
lation in everything else. The Senator
said he never dealt in silver; was no
Speculator: knew absolutely nothing OF
the modus operandi of speculation, and
did not understand the railroad system
of puts and calls.
Senator Wolcott, the next witness.
said he had no knowledge of any silver
speculation. He knew nothing OF any
one in official life being in any way in
Interested in the purchase or sale of
silver. He wished he was as innocent
as his colleague about speculation and
gambling OF that kind, but unfortunate
ly he had known something of ii to his
sorrow.
