tlinly infer as much, and shame on man
who would cast an aspersion of that kind.
If you really do believe it, you certainly do
not know how much you and the city of
OwOssO have lost by not securing the re-
moval of these able fnancers to your city,
that they might there find room for full
display of their saving qualities. Don't You
know it would be worth more to you than
all your banks or manufacturing institu-
tons? Again, we are informed by the
Press that for the last two years Rush has
paid her debts. Tell, Mr.. Press, when she
ever repudiated any of her contracts. You
have undoubtedly ere this noticed that there
are two items alone, viz, the special or GOss
bridge tax of $15s0.O0 and drain tax over
and above the amount for the year 81 of
$780, Is making a total of $377O. Is, which
was on the roll of 80, and not on in 81, or
several hundred dollars more than the diff
ference in fOOtings of the two rolls.
Mr.. Editor, is it not about time this little
bOOmlet of the Press should take wings and
fly to more congenial cimes, there to live
out its natural life and then die the death it
deserves? We are also informed that taxes
under democratic administrations are some
thing that discreet republicans say as little
about as possible Now suppose this refers
to democratic administration Of this town
ship. If am correct | hereby challenge
the Press to full, fair and impartial COM
parisOn of the records of the two parties and
their acts in this township. both parties to
have full access to all records, and | will
agree to lower myself enough to consent to
publish the results of our Investigations i'm
the Press, and | am of the opinion if this is
accepted that when we are done, little BOOM
lets for little men will be few and far be-
tween.
And now Mr.. Editor, come to look the
whole matter over there appears to be a
strange coincident in this affair. 1t is this.
In this year of wonderful economy and
superb management of our town affairs the
township board consists of two democrats
and two republicans and i'm the year of $50,
the year of looseness and bad management,
it consisted of two democrats and two re-
publicans, the same two democrats in both
instances. Now such being the case, what
becomes of their claims for superior ability?
They fall flat, as small tricks do when eX-
posed to the light of investigation. 1t is
little game of hide and 90 seek
Before close L want to say word about
your Henderson correspondent. AS | said
before | do not know him, but take him at
least for man of some intelligence and my
idea is that in his statement of taxes he re-
ferled only to the township tax, that being
the only tax wholly under the control of the
township board. If l am correct i'm my
view, then his statement that taxes were
never so high before would be, so far as |
have been able to investigate as yet, abso-
lutely true. In this letter have told some
of the things they did not do. If compelled
to in my next, shall speak of some of the
things they did do.

bui on account of the low prices bid for the
land, the sale was overturned by R. c. White,
Esq, Mr.. Coulters attorney. On Saturday

account of the absence of interested parties
postponed until Thursday. The prices

IN anofher column VIII De IOund the
particulars, so far as developed, of the
dastardly poisoning at Laurel, Del, of
the Rosser family aud others by throw
ing arsenic in the yard we'll Suspicion
points to one William Evans, an English
man, who married a sister of Rosser. He
is represented as worthless sort Of fell
low aud OF a malignant disposition. He
claims that Rosser was instrumental in
persuading his wife to leave him, and has
been heard by a number of persons to de-
clare that he would have revenge by pois-
oning the whole Rosser family if it took
him twenty years. He was married about
nineteen years ago and has daughter
nearly grown; since his separation from
his wife he has found employment at sew
eral places in Philadelphia and New Jer-
sey, but proved an Indifferent, unreliable
employee, and did not remain long in a
place. Singular as it may seem. with sus-
picion all the time pointing to Evans as
the person, and the time of its commits
siOu about August 4th, he was not ar
rested till August 18th. A warrant was
sworn out by Benjamin Rosser just after
the inquest, but States Attorney Giles an
ticipated by dispatching State detectives
Witsell aud McVey to make the arrest,
which they did on the afternoon of the
latter date at Tacony. Pa, where the
suspect was found at work unloading
railroad ties. The prisoner was placed
"a cell to await requisition papers.
Evans is inclined to talk, but he tells
conflicting stories of his whereabouts on
the attn Of August The inquest held on
Monday last was remarkable, in that it
amounted to nothing. Evidence tend
ting to incriminate Evans was discarded
while trivial matters were carefully writ
ten out for the iuries to consider. The
verdict was death from poison thrown
into we'll by party or parties I'M
known" Such a verdict looks bur-
lesque, or how not to investigate. At the
inquest Drs William F. Haynes aud Ed
ward Shipley, who performed the autopsy
on the boy, Raymonds body, these ply
sicians came in with the lads heart, liver
and other visceray,an gave their testi-
mony. Doctor Haynes said: CATER ex
huming the corpse, 1 made an examina-
tioh, which showed an oedematous con-
dition Of the lungs and liver, and heart
fiabby and bloodless. Death was proba-
bly, due to an irritant poison, f" but would
not swear that the poison was arsenic.
Dr. Shipley's testimony was seemingly
vague. He said 1.-THE lads death
might have resulted from some other
cause than arsenical poisoning, and an &C
curate autopsy can only be obtained by
chemical analysis of the internal or
gans It is a little strange that this had
not been done for the jury's enlighten-
meHt in the first place, though the YER
dict appears to purposely avoid inculpat-
ing Evans, it does not initiate against his
being brought to trial and conviction if
found guilty; although an inculpating
verdict would have shortened the course
Of justice. The foreman of the jury
Mr.. Bacon-seemed to exercise great in
fuence over the other jurymen, aud
whether justly blamed or not, there is
great dissatisfaction in Laurel over the
verdict
