The whisky trust is probably the greatest
money max ng organization in the country.
and has completed arrangements to still
further increase it's profits. Atameeting Of
directors held in Peoria few days ego, it
was shown that the concern had made
profits approximsting 50 900 ,OC0 during the
past month, and that for the succeeding
month the profits would aggregate still
more. The trust will declare dividend in
February, which according to the CIeve-
land Plain Dealer, will be the largest ever
known. Subsequent divldends, il is esti-
mated, will be quite as large, inasmuch a.
whisky making. BY this new process, ac-
cording 20 the Financial Chronicle. where
the company now pays IL cents to
produce IA given amount OF high
wine, they will pay but $40
cents under the new process" Besides
this the process effects a saving Of IL cents
on each bushel Of small grain. And not
only this, but great saving will bs eff

trust ss the refuse from the masbes, which,
under the old process, was worth 81 ton,
is increased in value under the new process

bered, besides owning exclusively this valua-
BILE new process, controls IS per cent. of the
distilleries engaged in making whisky, so
that it is in "a position to dictate prices to
suit its fancy. How it pleases to run prices
is shown in the fact that during the past
month the price of whisky has been adj
vanced 20 cents gallon.

AN INSANE MURDERnSS
This Is the General Belief Regard

THE SLAYER OF MRS PEARsA1L.

Tho Gauss of the Crime Was Jealousy,
Though Thors Seems to be No Reason
for tho sIurderess' suspIeions-The Case
TO Como Up on Saturday.
NEW YORK, Oct. AIRS. Catherine
Fitzgerald, wife of John J. Fitzgerald, an
examiner in the corporation counsels of
flee, and a sister Of Inspector William Nc
Laughln, of the New York police force,
who shot and killed Mrs. Carrie Pearsall,
wife Of Policeman John w. Pearsall, at
the latter'H home Monday afternoon. was
held yesterday by Police Justice Welde in
the Harlem police court without bail to
answer for her crime. The examination
was set down for Saturday morning at 10
o'clock.
The cause of the crime was jealousy.
Mrs. Fitzgerald believed that her husband
was fonder Of Mrs. Pearsall than of her,
and so she lay in wait for her and shot her.
Mrs. Pearsall was younger and far pret-
tier than Is the woman who murdered
her.
At the court, the woman looked, what
she undoubtedly is, temporarily insane.
Some Tins ago she had an operation per-
formed on her for a tumor on the head,
and ever since then she has acted queerly.
She has Just recovered from an attack Of
nervous prostration, for which her family
physician was treating her. She is tall,
fine, handsome woman, no longer young,
but the wrinkles which time and trouble
have drawn upon her face have taken away
no whit Of interest and beauty in it.
She was dazed and could hardly stand.
At times she looked as IL she were about
TO faint. Her husband was very nervous
and showed It, He declared to the reporter
that his wife had absolutely no reason to
be Jealous of him; that he had never been
anything more than friend to Mrs. Pear

The detectives who are investigating the
| homicide say that as yet they have found
| no evidence to substantiate the statement
made by the murderess that she shot the
| woman in self defense.
| The police and everybody concerned be-
lieve her crazy. They are divided in their
opinions as to what grounds the woman
had for her jealousy.

Medical men are divided on the subject
of the employment of the safe" hypuotics.
Some prescribe them very readily, while
there are others who do not prescribe them
at all except under the sternest compul-
sion. Sir Andrew Clark is one Of those
who hold that the too ready prescriber of
hypnotics, even OF the safest" class, de
serves professional apprehension. Strongly
confrmatory of this opinion is the account
which has just appeared of the case of a
man who had experienced extraordinary
sufferings as the result Of the "paraldehyde
habit"
The victim, in addition to his profound
miseries, was long time within sight of
deaths door. The patient had been sub
ject to insomnia, and under medical advice
he tried pnraldchyde. Beginning with oc-
casional small doses, the unfortunate man
rapidly proceeded to frequent large ones
In few months he could not live without
the drug, and in a very few years it became
evident that he could not live with it. Life
became an agony, and the apprehension OF
death a terror which was intolcrable In
the course of time the drug lost it's power,
and sometimes ns much MS seven teaspoon
fuls of par debyde procured no more than
half an hours sleep. The hearts action
failed, and the sounds often became almost
inaudible.
Peculiar shivers ran through the body,
and the patient was heset by constant fear
full imaginings. Tremors, agitations, sus-
picions, delusions, harassed him day and
night, until finally he lost his reason and
was certified as a lunatic requiring re-
straint After few months of asylum
life recovery commenced, aud in time the
man was released and returned to his work
But his constitution is permanently inn
paired, and he will never again be sound
and healthy man.-Eew York Telegram.

PIGS IN THE WALL.
a Curious Glimpse of Life In Vineyard
Town of Sunny Franco.

A French lady travelling in America re-
Gently declared when some friends apollo
giZed for certain suburban tract in their
town-peopled unfragrantly by squatters,
pigs and goats promiscuously yhoused-that
the sight was not unfamiliar to her-indeed
1t was welcome and refresing, because it
reminded her of home.
She went on TO explain that although she
had long lived in Paris her birthplace was
remote little country village, very ancient
and surrounded by the remains Of defen-
Bive wall of great strength and massiveness
In the poorer part OF the town, where the
backs of the houses were placed against this
wall, it became customary to dig into its
thickness cool and convenient room,
which was used as something between a
cellar and shed But house burned
down one day, leaving the stone room ex-
posed and family of vagrants passing
that way saw it, explored it and finally
settled in it. Other squatters soon took
tho hint and dug for themselves stone
rooms without taking the pains to build
houses. 1t WINS not many months before
the whole wall was honeycombed with
caves of masonry, in which men, women,
children, pigs, dogs, cats and goats lived
tumultuously together. 49,.

which beheld in such II cavern.
"It was only family group gathered
near the fire while supper was being pre-

Poverty for that is the enemy that no city
wall can exclude, and in my town 1t bur

This is indeed a curious glimpse of life in
a vineyard town of sunny France. But the
narrator, when asked if it were exceptional,
shook her head and answered, smiling:
Not in my part of the country. There
are many little towns with great walls, and
in the walls there are people and pigsl Oh,
SO many pigs.'-Youth's Companion

An account of u mysterious puzzIng
sound that is frequently heard in Skookum
bay, which is now going the rounds of the
papers, reminds us Of still more mysteti-
Gus sound that is heard during the sum
mer months and always just before sun
down. on what is called Big river in Men
docino county, Cal. Another strange co.
incidence is that the locality near which
the sound is heard TO best advantage in
both cases has the same name-yiz, Cape
Horn.
The soundsin the Big river case resemble
the sweet strains of band music heard
plainly, though apparently from IL great
distance. 1t is impossible to locate the
direction from which these sounds proceed,
as when several persons are listening at
once some will hear it from the air above,
some from the water below and some from
the shore on either side. Many learned and
scientific people have striyen at different
times to investigate this strange Phenome-
non, but though the sounds have been
heard for many years, the mystery remains
as great today as at the beginning. VIII

LENA BROWN ACQUITTED.
She Was Insane when She stranglod Three
Children at Bordentown.


Mt. HOLLY, N. J., Oct. 4.-The trial Of
Lena Brown f5r the murder of three
shldren at Bordentown In September last,
was begun yesterday before Justice Gar
rison and O Jury. One Of the victims was
her own son, the other two being George
and Joseph Harvey, children Of a neigh
Dor. All three were found on the fioor Of
Lena Browns room strangled to death.
The defendant stood beside the dead bodies
and admitted that she did the deed, but
was unable to give any explanation Of the
affair
The defendant came from Germany a
few years ago, and nothing is known of
her antecedents. She says she is unmar-
ried. Since being in jail she has given
birth to another child, which she has
treated with the utmost tenderness
The testimony of the witness for the
prosecution was in substance that the
murder wns committed while Mr.. and
Mrs Harvey were away from home The
children were left in tho defendants g
charge and she strangled them, as she said,
to keep them out of harm. Then she sur
rendered herself to the police.
Medical Director John G. Ward, OF the
state insane asylum, testified that the de-
fendant was evidently suffering from puer-
peral insanity, as she was in a delicate con-
dition at the time, and this view of the
case was also taken by the other medical
experts, including Judge Garrison, who
said he had no hesitation in telling the
jury TINT In his opinion the defendant was
suffering from homicidal mania.
The jury thereupon brought verdict of
not guilty upon the ground of insanity,
and advised that she be confined in some
suitable asylum.

Mr.. w NJ. Evarts is a man of wit not
too often used for telling effect. He flashes
his steel to good purpose now and then.
The story is said that once at a dinner of
the New York Potters, sort of family re-
union, he MS their counsel had been asked
to dine with them all. There was bishop,
a doctor Of divinity, and there were other
distinguished scious OF the family tree
present, and the after dinner speeches had
all been (very naturally for such an occa-
sion) on the fame and success of one an
other.
The history OF the Potters since they first
came to this country was told in all its
glorious detals Then Mr. Evarts was
asked to make a speech, and they say he
said that he felt he really must be excused.
In this revered presence, however, he might
be pardoned for utteriny paraphrase OF
Scripture which had come into his mind
during the speeches of the rest, Lord,
Lord. thou art the clay, and we are the
Pottersl boston Transcript.

Augustus son, the famous Maurice,
Marechal de SAKE, who commanded the
French at Fontenoy, was marvel of
strength. On one occasion he twisted, with
his fingers only, long nail into cork
screw, with which be drew the corks OF
half dozen bottles. He conld break with
his hands the strongest horseshoe.
One day when in London he had a row
with dustman when he seized the man by
the head, and throwing him in the air let
him drop right in the middle OF his own
dust cart. The only opponent who sue
ceeded in resisting him was n woman,
Mile. Guuthier, an actress. Maurice tried
with her to see who could put down the
others wrist, and after IA long struggle she
won, but with the greatest difficulty.
The power of Mile. Gauthier's arm was
far beyond the common, and with her ftp
gers she could roll up silver plates as easily
as any one would paper.-Cincinnati Com

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.



WARRINGTON. Oct. Am entirely novel
amendment to the silver purchase repeal
bill was suggested in the senate yesterday
by Mr.. Morgan. 1t proposes the revival OF
the free coinage act Of 1887 and the remis-
sion Of 20 per cent. of import duties to tho
countries that receive American standard
silver dollars (of present weight and fine
ness) at par as legal tender money. The
debate on the repeal bill was continued by
Mr. Dolph in favor OF its passage. The
debate was continued by Mr. Power in op-
position to the repeal bill and by Mr. Pal
mer in its advocacy. AT the close Of Mr..
Palmer's speech there was an interesting
and amusing scene. Mr.. Dubois asserted
his belief that there were not ten senators
who were actually anxious to pass the re-
peal bill, and he almost challenged the
trial Of physical endurance. This test Mr..
Palmer deprecated as nm net Of barbarism,
and he went through the pantomime of
partially taking off his coat when illus
trating the imaginary scene of trying who
was the better man. The incident afforded
great amusement.
Mr. Dunphy, Just before the house ed-
journed, and when the chamber was prac-
tically deserted, made bold attempt to
secure the passage Of the New York bridge
bill, but although Mr.. Warner declined to
object to the consideration of the bill he
was equally efflcacious in raising the point
Of "no quorum on its passnye. Previous
to this episode the debate on the federal
elections bill was continued by Messrs.
Northway and Bowers in opposition, and
by Messrs. De Forest and Kyle in support

RAILWAY, n. j., Oct. 4.-Count Rudolph
Palffy, who resided on the Havemeycr es-
tate, at the foot Of the Ramapo mountains,
committed suicide yesterday by shooting.
Count Palffy is said to be cousin of Prince
Palffy, Of Austrian fame. He has been in
the United States on a sightseeing tour for
nearly two years. 1t is learned upon good
authority that the count had been cut
short in his allowance Of money because
he married outside of the royal family and
not according to the wishes of his parents,
his wife being a native of Switzerland.
