Poisoning Casc-The Package.
Captain Angle sat in an easy chair ct the
Second police station last night ana
smiled complacently upon q DfsPArcH re-
porter who had called upon HIM 70 ascer-
tain the result of his Investigations IN the

woman. or a child ?n queried the reporter.
The genial Captain shook his head he
was as dumb as an oyster, but apologlzeu
by saying he was afraid he would scare DIS
man.
WENT TO MANCHESTER.
IT saw you and Sergeant Tomlinson,
pulling up Main street TINS m9Srn ,lnggia
have made one think you had captured
Jack the Ripper and l suspected you
were on the track then"
" We had been over to Manchester" re-
piled the shrewd officer.
{" Did Manchesterian send the box?"
was the next question.
I'VE went over there 10 question q nAu
about the case," was the reply.
What about?" i.
Another mysterious negative shake OF
the Captains head.
HOW THEY PROCEEDED.
"How did you go about your investiga-
tion?" questioned the reporter.
THE address on the package was the
main thing we acted upon. There is quite
a romance connected with the case"
Captain Angle said they were going TO
proceed slowly and cautiously in the mat
ter; that he was pretty confident he had
a good clue, but at present could not di-
vulge 1t for want of proper evidence to
fasten the guilt upon the right person.
MAILED BY WOMAN.
One of the attaches of the post-office told
a DISPATCH reporter yesterday that he was
standing in the Office Wednesday after
noon, and saw q lady come in and mail
package which corresponded in general ap-
pearance to the description published in
the DISPATCH of the package sent 70 Mrs.
Redd. His attention was specially attract
ed to the occurrence by reason of the fact
that the box was roughly wrapped up. He
has not seen the wrapping or box now in
the possession of the police, and is not at all
certain that he can identify it, but he
thinks it is probable that he would recog-
niZe both the box and the person by whom
it was carried to the Office.

Its Condition as Reported to the Tucka-
hoe Farmers Ciup by Capt. Cussons
Among the interesting papers read at
the meeting of the Tuckahoe Farmers
Club held ut the residence OF MIR. nj. A.
Cogbill at Chesterfield Courthouse Iaurs-
day was the following report on the farm
of James b. Winston. ESQ.,, submitted by
Captain John Cussons, of Glen Allen;
THE REPORT.
In accordance with your instructions
respectfully submit the following report
on the farm of our fellow-member, James
Il. Winston. ESQ.,; ..
This farm is at Glen Allen, a suburb of
Richmond, and has q frontage OF about
one mile on The Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac railroad. The soil va
ries from sandy TO q clayey loan ana Is
well adapted TO the whole range OF fruits,
cereals, and grasses which flourish in the
temperate zone.
GREAT ADVANCE.
Some ten years ago tho plnce was mere
wilderness OF old-feldpine and broomstraw.
II had been worked out and was practically
abandoned. When purchased by MIR. WIN
ston's predecessor at something less than
80 per acre the sale was thought 10 have
been good one; yet / understand that
an advance Of over 600 per cent. was offer
ed for IT tho other day, and that the offer
was not even entertained.
These figure have a world of meaning
an them. They demonstrate that there IL
not only amusement but profit in the re-
hsbilitation OF the worn lands and waste
places of Virginia.
Mr.. winston's method Of reclamation
has been a judicious rotation Of crops,
renovation by pea fallow, tho application
OF lime, tile-dTainage where needed. and
the seeding down 20 grass of all fields not
under tillage.
ABUNDANT FRUIT.
An abundance of luscious fruits and
choice vegetables, number OF well-nlled
barns, a splendid herd Of Jerseys cropping,
the rich verdure of ample pastures-all
these form fitting background TO the
lovely villa which has arisen on the desc
late heath of ten years ago, and eloquently
attest the magic which may he wrought
when a gentleman OF skill and taste adj
dresses himself 10 the task of directing and
experimenting the benehcent forces OF
