credit. In a trial at Austin, it was
brought out that the members of sub
alliance had given notes to the exchange
amounting to s415, 900, from the proceeds
of which they were to be- supplied with
such tools and other goods as they re-
quired The exchange has gone into
bankruptcy and the notes are found to
be in the hands of third parties. One
farmer testified that he gave his note for
81, 800 and had received only $3.50 worth
goods, and his note was now in the hands
of Cincinnati concern, which received it
as collateral for purchases made by the
exchange. The farmer will have to pay
the note, and good many others are in
the same predicament.

| The bateria must go. Mr.. A. d'Arson-
val has been making important expert
ments in the medical laboratory of the
College of France to determine the effect
of carbonic acid, liquifed, upon the germs
of disease. He finds that, under high
pressure, it is an extremely powerful bac-
tericidal agent. 1t can be used with great
effect for the filtration and sterilization of
organic liquids, even when they contain a
mixture of various ferments. Thus, for
example mixture of peptone and al
bumen, it is possible by graduating the
pressure to make the peptone first pass off
alone.
The Census Office has issued statement
of the acreage and yield of tobacco for the
year 1889, showing an increase over the
last census of SO, 223 acres and 19,052, 440
pounds. The amount produced in Ken
lucky has increased over 81, 900, 900 pounds
and there has also been a substantial in
crease in North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio,
New York and Wisconsin. On the other
hand, there has been a more or less serious
falling off in Virginia, Maryland, Connec-
ticut, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania and Mis-
souri,. This falling off has been entirely
due to inadequate protection. Had not the
Republican party passed the Mckinley bill

THE IDA SHADDOCK CASE.

pert Testimony.

Police Surgeon II. f. Williams Gives Ex-
pert Testimony.
The preliminary examination of DR.. Sam
uel II. Hall, charged with performing a
criminal operation on the person of Ida
Shaddock, was continued in Department
of the Police Court last night before Judge
Xix. Prosecuting Attorney A. o. Cotton
conducted the case for the State, Judge j.
G. Mcguire appearing for the defendant.
Nearly two hours were consumed Ia taking
expert medical testimony, the only witness
examined being Police Surgeon K. L. Will
Jams. AT the conclusion OF the eXamina-
ton the case rested, and will be continued
next MOnlaY.
From the evidence introduced DR.. Will
IONS gave it as his opinion that the girl had
died from the effects of criminal opera
ton, and, judging from the location Of the
injuries, it would have been impossible for
the girl to have inflicted them herself.
Judge Mcguire then started in on the cross
examination, aided by a large medical work
and coached by Dr. Hall. After answering
a variety Of questions regarding the internal
anatomy DR.. Williams became slightly
vexed. He arose from his chair and in
formed Judge Mcguire that as he had al
ready passed medical examination for his
diploma he did not propose to be put
through another course.
"Pm not here" DR.. Williams declared,
TO deliver lecture on obstetrics, ana
refuse to answer any more questions unless
they are relevant to the case. l could talk
all day and all night on anatomy, pathology
and several other ologies if they had any
bearing on the question at issue; but as
they have not l refuse to answer. and
would suggest that the Judge look up
'Gray's Anatomy If he wishes to probe
further into the science of medicine"
The doctor then asked for the protection
of the Court. which was granted, and the
case proceeded without developing any new
