MRS. BARNABY'S DEATH.
More Testimony Concerning the Fatal
Drsught of Whisky.

more testimony concerning Inc Fatal
Drsught of Whisky.
DENVER, Dec. 15.-In the Graves MUIR
der trial, E. q. Worrell, Jr., was recalled
to the stand this morning and his direct
examination continued. He handed
Stevens book containing copies of the
kilograms he received and sent during
Mrs. Barnaby's illness, and after her
death. He said he notified Mrs. Conrad
April 10th of the death of her mother. He
read telegram which he sent in which
he gave the cause of Mrs. Barnaby's
death as congestion of the lungs. Pre-
vious to this he received a telegram
from Mrs. Conrad, asking him to wire
her how her mother was getting along.
Mrs. Conrad telegraphed, after she was
notified OF her mothers death, that she
must see Worrell before the body was
embalmed. On cross-eXamination by
Judge Macon he said he knew Mrs. Bar
naby about ten years before she came
here. He had met her in Chester, Pa,
where she was visiting his mother.
Worrell repeated the oft told story
about Mrs. Barnaby being dissatisfied
with the doctor as her business man
ager. He declared that when the cause
OF Mrs. Barnaby's death was first being
discussed, he did not know he or any of
his family were suspected of completely.
He modified this statement somewhat
when newspaper was produced which
contained an interview with him upon
the subject.
Mrs. Worrell. jr., was recalled, and
testified that after the fatal package
was brought home from the livery
stable, where it had remained all night
in a buggy, it was placed on the dining
room table, where it remained for day
before the women drank from it. She
also corrected the statement made by
their servant girl to the effect that after
Mrs. Barnaby's death she had been
ordered to empty and clean all the
bottles in the house. The girl was
ordered to clean one and pour into it
some tonic, which Mr.. Worrell, sr.,
wanted to take with her on her journey.

PRINTERS STRIKE.
Compositors on the Philadelphia Morn
Ing Papers Walk Out.

Ing Papers Walk Out.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-The COM
positors working for the morning papers,
the Times, Record, Inquirer and North
American, made demand at O'Clock
this evening tina. their wages be in
creased from 40 to As cents per thousand
ems. All OF the compositors are MEM
bers of the International Typographical
Union. The Times granted the in
crease, as did also the North American,
although the latter paper did so under
protest.
Proprietor Singerly, of the Record,
refued to pay extra or confer with the
strikers. Instead, he went to work in
dustrously to secure a non-Alion force,
and by O'Clock thirty-four men were
busy setting type in his Office. This is
about half the number usually at work.
Singerly expressed confidence in his
ability to, get along without
union men, and says the paper
will be issued tomorrow as usual.
The Record is now paying an average of
about "A cents, and the scale presented
today really amounted to reduction on
the whole in its composing room. The
objection of Singerly was not to the
new scale, but to the proposed interier-
ence with the business of his Office.
At the Inquirer Office, after several
conferences between Proprietor Elver-
son and committee representing the
strikers, the men at 8 80 O'Clock agreed
to continue work at the old rate until a
settlement was arrived at.

A Big Insurance Transaction.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The insurance
men talk of but one topic today, an
announcement made at dinner of 100
underwriters at Delmonico's last even
ing, by f. E. Armstrong, president of
the Mutual Fire Insurance company, of
the Fire association, and of the Arm
strong Fire Insurance company, all
of this city. He stated that the entire
business of the three companies, aggre-
eating 5000, 900, 900 had been reinsured
in the Lancashire of England, and re-
serve amounting to over 81 ,000,000 had
been paid in cash to the Lancashire.

greatest in the history of fire insurance.

BERLIN, Dec. 15.-An attempt on the
life of Russell Sage, in New York, was
emulated here today by a young man
who fortunately lost his nerve at the
critical moment. He entered the Office
Of Hermann & Co., bankers, and re-
quested private interview with the
head Of the firm on important business.
When the banker joined him in his
private Office, the stranger handed
him letter demanding 10000 marks at
once on pain OF having the building
blown up with dynamite. Hermann,
instead of parlying with his visitor,
called loudly for help. The fellow then
dashed from the place, but was soon
caught. In his pockets were found two
packets of gunpowder and two other
packets containing white powder, the
nature OF which has not yet been ascer-
tanned. He refuses to answer any ques-
tions OF the police.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.--Five daring high
waymcn tonight held up a United States
wagon, and at the revolver's point
forced the driver to throw out several
sacks. The wagon was then sent on its
journey, the driver being threatened
with instant death if he made an out
cry or stopped. So complete was the
surprise effected by the bandits, that
the driver failed to utilize the services
of large bulldog revolver beside him
on the seat. Near midnight the stolen
mail sacks, slit open and rified OF their
contents, were found on Superior
street in the north division of the
city, fully three miles from the scene
OF the robbery. At that hour every
available man of the city detective
force and the postofice inspectors staff
were ont, erdeavoring to obtain clue
to the identity of the highwaymen or
their whereabouts.
The wagon was on its way to the main
postofiice, with mail from the stockyards
and southwest station. Driver Creigh-
ton drove down Blue Island avenue to
Halstead street, and turned east on
Mather. He was half way to Desplaines
street, when five men sprang from the
sidewalk. One seized the horses by the
reins, while the others covered Creigh-
ton with revolvers and commanded
him to keep quiet. The team
was led to an alley, and while one of the
men kept Creighton covered the other
forced open the door OF the wagon, and
hastily selecting the. registry pouches
from the others, made off through the
alley. Creighton's guard kept him
covered for five minutes and then left
him.
The thoroughly frightened driver
drove as rapidly as possible to the main
postoffice, where he reported the affair.
An inventory was made OF the contents
OF the wagon and it was found that two
registered pouches from the stockyard
station and that from the Blue Island
station were missing. The value of the
contents the officials are unable to de-
termine, but ia known to be heavy.
As near as can be ascertained tonight,
the robbers secured in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 in currency and about
5000 900 worth OF non negotiable paper
from the stock yards banks.

PHILADELPHIA. Monday, April 20, 1891.

PHILADELPHIA Monday, April 20, 1891.
Last week marked exactly a
year since "Brandenburg" as
traffic name of Cotton
Dress Goods was first printed
IN this column. Success at
once claimed the trade mark
as its own. The quality of
the stuff, the beauty of the
printing, and the cheapness, a
trio of reasons, commanded
the result.
This therefore is the second
Brandenburg season, but al
ready, before the anniversary
OF the first opening the sales
were greater than all last year.
The patterns count hundreds,
the variety is always fresh.
They come, they go, no stag
nation, nothing among them
old. The progress is cumula-
tive.
The miles of Ginghams at

will all be passed and then,

we suppose, but not this. 40
cents worth of Ginghams for

That's what you have
learned to expect. So many
people advertise the largest
stock and the lowest prices
on earth that you don't ex-
pect to read any other kind
of advertisements but it
has always been our aim to
be an exception to this rule.
We don't advertise that
which we have not, neither
do we promise to do any
thing which we don't intend
or can't fulfill. Now we
will make it interesting to
you to find out the truth of
this statement. For the re-
mainder of the year 1891
we will make any man or
boy a present of the best
$1,000 Suit we have who
will find a single statement
IN any of our advertisements
which is not true. Remem-
Der we will reward but one
person on the same state
ment and the saline person
but once.
What we have to say
about our new Spring Stock
is, we have put forth every
effort to secure a nice selec-
tiOn Of goods. They have
been made up by the best
manufacturers in the cOun-
try and the shape and fit
OF our garments is superior
to any previous season.
To those who have bought
OF us from the beginning we
would say we want you to
expect more Of us this sea-
son than ever before, and
we promise that you shall
not be disappointed; and
to those who have not trad
ed with and don't know our
methods of business and |
what assortment we carry,
we would say we have a
stock which will please the

you ask about the price, we
have one price strictly and
that we simply guarantee
to be aslOw as elsewhere, or
lower, or your money re-
funded; and its no differ
ence where you find the
