never appears without warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taken cold or a
cold may have accompanied the
hoarseness from the start. After that
peculiar rough cough is developed,
which is followed by the Group. The
time to act is when the child first be-
comes hoarse; few doses of Chamber

attack. Even after a rough cough has
appeared, the disease may be prevent

John Gum, Tom Waugh, Bob Jeffreys,

amined for the commonwealth. The
last witness proved to be the key to the
mystery. He was only found since the
last trial of Lanier, but his testimony
was published in TIE TIMES some time
after when Mr.. Randolph made motion
. AVA OoAA lOI Guo DrlSOucF, anu bn1S VIII
ness was introduced to show that
Lanier actually struck the fatal blow.
Bum is beyond doubt the shrewde, st
negro that ever appeared before this
court as witness. He possesses too
many antics, and is too much of q clown
for So grave business, but his testi-
mony is clear and very exact. He varied
In no material point whatever in his
testimony, and told how Lanier came
out from the front door with a stick in
his hand and called Newson, SAYING,
NAT. understand you fired that pistol
In my house?" Without waiting for
reply, Lanier struck Newson q heavy
blow just as he turned around from a
crowd with whom he was talking. New
son staggered and fell, his head strik-
ing the ground near Bunn's feet.
MIR. Randolph put the witness through
q severe test of cross. examination, but
did not move him in the least
Several witnesses for tho defense
were examined, but their testimony did
not amount to much either for or
against the accused. Mr.. Powell opened
the argument for the commonwealth in
q speech bristling with an array of facts,
after which Mr.. Randolph began for
tie defense, but court adjourned before
he concluded his speech. Tho argu-
ment will BIO resumed this morning.

THE CITY SURVEY.

The Work Progressing Satisfactorily.
Much of the Skeleton Survey Completed.

ward as rapidly as possible. While the

These consist oof granite blocks two
feet square and placed two feet in the
ground. In the top of each is copper
pin marking the exact point.
About one third of the Office work has
been done, as the nun ber of rainy days
recently has kept all hands in doors
and allowed that portion of the work to
be rushed through with.
Mr.. George P. Wood is III charge eff
the work. He is graduate of Dart
mouth College, and is said to be one of
the finest engineers for that class of
work in the State. Mr.. Dunlap, the city
engineer, said yesterday that this would
doubtless be the most accurate survey
ever made in The State.
