New HAVEN, Conn, March 5.-The
first case on record in this country where
the government has brought an action
against any parties for defrauding q
nickel-in- -the-slot machine had hearing
here this afternoon before United States
Commissioner Wright. The accused
was George S. Grumman, wealthy sa-
loon keeper of Norwalk. He was arrest
ed last Tuesday on a warrant charging
him with counterfeiting coins of the Uni
ted States commonly called five cent
nickels, and using them to defraud the
Edison Phonograph Company. At the
hearing today, the most important gov
ernment witness was Thomas d. Call
laghan of the United States secret SER
vice. He said Grumman told him he
had worked candy, weighing and cigar
cite machines with impunity with lead
coins, and also related how he and the
other accused made the coins. When
Grumman saw the witness take the stand
and heard him give his occupation, he al
most succumbed with fright.
The coins are an extremely poor pro-
duction and will not be liable to deceive
anyone. Commissioner Wright bound
tho accusad over tO tha Tinted States
Circuit Court under 81 200 bonds.

NEW WARDS OF UNCLE sam.
Cold and Hunger threaten the Na-
tiyes on the Seal Islands.
THE WINDY CITY LIKELY TO GET
MORE AID FOR THE FAIR.

AS the Natives on the Seal Islands Can
Raise No Crops and Must Always Have
Fires, Their Lot Is Pretty Hard
Worlds Fair Bill Appropriates About
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Acting Secre-
tsry Spaulding of the Treasury Depart
ment, has transmitted to Congress COM
munication from Special Agent Williams,
in charge of the seal islands of Alaska
asking an appropriation of. $19,50O to
furnish food, fuel, clothing, etc., neces-
sary during the ensuing fiscal year to
prevent suffering and dcstitution among
the native inhabitants of the islands.
Mr.. Williams says: 1.-THE failure in the
year of 1890 of the supply of killable
seals, whereby only $1,000 skins were
secured, and of 1891, whereby only 49,
600 were taken, instead of the usual num-
ber of 100000 annually, has left these
people with about only one-sixth of the
sum they formerly had for their support
Owing to the great destruction
to seal life by deep sea sealing,
the rookeries and hauling ground
are in such depleted condition that it
will be some years, under the most favor
able circumstances before this valuable
industry can be built up to its former
magnitude of taking 100000 seals annu-
ally. In the mean time, the natives will
be without means of support save their
small earnings obtained from tie killing
of a few thousand seals for food. 1t
should be borne in mind that not a thing
is growing upon these islands whereby
the natives can sustain themselves and
that the climate requires fire in each ma
tive house every day in the year"

coNeRATULAToRY RECEPTION.
Washington Friends of Mr.. Reed Will
Take Notice of the Supreme Courts De-
cisiOn.

A Washington special to the Boston
Sunday Herald announces that tomorrow
evening the various Republican State AS
sociations in Washington are to tender a
'congratulatory reception to ex-Speaker
Reed. Elaborate preparations have been
made for it, and Senator Perkins of Kan
sas, Senator Plumb's successor, will pre-
side. Among the speakers will be Hon.
Julius C. Burrows of Michigan, Hon.
Serene E. Paine of New York and others.
The official announcement says: "The
vindication of ex-Speaker Reed and his
parliamentary practice by the United
States Supreme Court will probably form
the basis of the congratulatory addresses
and it is expected that Mr.. Reeds re-
sponse will be an authoritative exposi-
ton of his ideas of the quorum ques-
tion." The reception is to be given in
the great hall of the National Rifles Ar
mory.

In Behalf of the Clam.

) WELLS, March 5.-This town falls into
line with Scarboro and Biddeford in a
warfare against the determination of the
succulent clam. For years and years
the clam beds along the Ogunquit river
have been open to the free and unre-
strained ravages of diggers from all the
villages in this section of the country.
But now many of the local citizens think
it is high time to call a halt, and an arti-
Gle to see what action the town! will take
in the matter including the question of

Cordage Trust officials Find Themselves

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 6.-The powerful
machinery of the government which
worked so well in securing indictments
against the Whiskey Trust officials, has
now been set in motion against the Cor
dage Trust, which has been boosting
prices with high hand lately. Charles
M Horten, the government detective
who swore out warrants for the ar
rest of President Greenhut and other
whiskey trust officials last week,
has been investigating the meth
ods of the Cordage Trustin this city for
several days. Last night Horton left for
Minneapolis where he will confer with
the United States district attorney and
secure additional evidence to prove that
the combination controls the market for
cordage. The facts which Horten has
secured will probably be laid before the
grand jury at Boston, New York or Phil
adelphia. What evidence Horten secured
while in Chicago is not known.

TO HELP CHICAGO.
Congress Asked to Appropriate Additional
Millions,

Millions.
WASHINGTON, March Ga bill provi-
ding for additional appropriations for the
Worlds Fair will be introduced in the
House tomorrow. 1t is completed with
the exception of the clause appropriating
the $500O0O amount required for the
fiscal year 1898 for the purpose of col
lecting and preparing the government
exhibit for the fair. The preamble to
the bill states that it is necessary to con-
struct larger buildings and provide more
extended facilities than have been neces-
sary in any previous exposition, involving
the necessary expenditure of not less
than SS,000,00 in excess of the $40, ,O00,-
600 available under the act of Congress.
The bill appropriates SC, ,050,0Oc, of which
$5,O000O is for the work of preparing
for the fair. The measure provides that
at the close of the exposition there is to
be paid to the Secretary of the Treasury
such proportion of the receipts of the ex-
position as the amount appropriated by
this act bears to the amount paid by the
stockholders and the city of Chicago for
the preparation, completion and conduct
of the exposition.

THE KEELY CURE.
What It Is Composed of and How It Is
Administered,

A prominent physician of this city has
just received from New York the formu-
la of Gray's treatment for alcoholism
and the morphine and cocaine habit 1t
is authenticated by a drug clerk. This
treatment, it is said, differs from the
Keely cure very slightly, the latter add
ing absinthe and aloes. SO that this for
mula gives a very accurate idea of the
Keely cure.
The patient is first supplied with
pint of good whisley. Regular treat
ment is begun by giving an active laxa-
tive, after which, at 10 o'clock in the
morning, at /. A O'clock, and at s
o'clock in the evening the patient re-
ceives an hypodermic injection of chlo-
ride of gold and sodium one-tenth of a
grain, nitrate Of strychnia one-fortieth
of grain. A mixture is also prescribed
consisting of chloride of gold and sodi-
l,n II grains, muriate of ammonia 6
grains, nitrate of strychnia one grain,
atropine (the active principle of BELLA
donna) one-quarter of a grain, fluid ex-
tract of cinchona compound three ounces
fluid extract of coca, glycerine and wa
ter one ounce each. This mixture is to
be taken once in every two hours n
doses Of teapoonful. This treat
ment is to be kept UP from three to six
weeks, according to the character of the
case.
In each dose of teaspoonful there
will be one forty eighth of grain OF
strychnia, one hundred and ninetieth of
grain of atropine, a quarter of grain
of muriate of ammonia, and one-quarter
of grain of the chloride of gold and
sodium. 1t will be seen that adding the
hypodermic injection Of one-fortieth of a
grain of strychnia three times in twelve
hours-equal to three-fortieths of a
grain-the amount of strycbnia admins
tered the patient in twelve hours is one
fifth of grain. But as strychnia adj
ministered hypodermically is considera-
bly, more powerful than when admins
tered through the stomach, the amount
administered in twelve hours would
equal at least nine-fortieths of grain
administered through the stomach. The
ordinary dose of strychnia for tonic pur-
poses is one-siXtieth of grain three
times day, and even this cannot be con-
tinued many weeks without danger. The
amount given in the above treatment is
more than four times as large as this,
and under ordinary circumstances would
be very dangerous. That it can be given
without fatal results is probably due to
the neutralizing effect of the whiskey,
of which the patient is allowed to freely
partake.
1t will be seen that the treatment is
too dangerous for everybody to indulge
in on his own account, and it is very
questionable whether it can be handled
without considerable danger even by an
experienced physician.

Slavs and Huns Apparently Robbed.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, March GA short,
stout man, with a plump, smooth face
and wearing light checked trousers,
dark under coat and vest and light col
ored overcoat, rushed off the 7.30 New
York bound train at Guilford last night
into the depot. He ran straight to the
ticket office and covered the ticket agent
with pistol. s'Out with every ID
cent or down you CO." he Kissed, and the
agent obeyed. The man got $75. He
rushed out Of the depot and hired double
team of Rolph and Redgeld, with driver,
and disappeared in the darkness. He was
captured at o'clock in East Haven by
Deputy Sheriff Carney of Branford. He
said he was Arthur W. Lapham and to-
day insists that he has given the right
name and that New York city is his
home. The police are now convinced
that he is not Drohan, the Massachu-
setts state prison bird, as was at first sus-
pected. The Boston police sent full
description of Drohan, which does not
tally with Lapham.
The prisoner is well dressed and talks
very intelligently. He is evidently OF
good family, and a novice in crime. He
says his parents are dead and he has no
relations other than brother in San
Francisco. He volunteered the state
ment tonight that he once played in
Helen Hart's Later On campany and
later in .'The Silver King" That was
over a year ago, he says. Since that
time he has been clerk in New York.
He pronounces his escapade of Satur-
day night as foolhardy and says want of
money led him to do it.
