He Contradicts the Testimony of Corbett
and Bassett.
The comm ission to investigate the New York
custom house reassembled yesterday afternoon
when Appraiser Cooper was examined. Mr.
Cooper stated that he had not yet prepared the
schedule of invoices which were to furnish spe-
cifc information.
Mr.. MacFarlane then brought up the ques-
ton Of the official letters which have been made
public. The witness stated that he had read
the testimony Of Stenographer Bassett
The questions which Bassett alleged the
witness had put to him during the first exami-
nation in 1891 were then read. Witness ex-
planned that he had not asked Bassett to make
any different forms of questions, nor had he
dictated any answers he wished him to make
He asked Bassett for the answers when, Bassett
said he would not answer them AZ he had shown
one copy of the official letters.
81 told him that that would lead suspicion to
fall on him. He told me later that he would
answer the question if the present time was
substituted"
The statements of Mr. Corbett about the let.
tiers getting into the hands of the Dry Goods
Chronicle reporter BY his having furnished q
copy OF one were read.
Witness said that they were not true.
Witness denied that he had instructed Mr.
Bassett. his private secretary, to let Mr.. Cor
bett see any of the letters. He denied, also
that he had ever said he would not give out any
information. but he did not care who did
After denying more of Mr.. Corbetts testi

Contrary 20 custom the visitors started off in
the lead and gained three runs before the home
team scored. Then pretty stern chase ensued
Step by step the local colts overhauled the
selling platers from the buckeye state, and in
the stretch drew away and won by a nose.
The Clevelands secured one Of their three
runs By triple, followed by single. But the
other two they had no business with. Both
reached first on balls, were helped along by q
sacrifice and scored by Ewing's single past

The locals punched two hits in the sixth

as he came up took hold Of the bride of the

with more energy than politeness said Let go
that horse" It being very dark the man could
not see that Mr. Quick had a pistol, but the

Mr.. Booth:
"In the summer Of 1877 Mr.. Booth was stand
on railroad platform waiting for train. He
noticed a gentleman standing near him, appar-
emily with the same object, and that he
seemed engrossed in his own meditations.
Presently the gentleman stepped from the
platform to track and began walking upon it.
entirely oblivious of his surroundings. just at
this moment an engine which had been getting
water from tank near at hand began backing
up the track. Mr.. Booth, turning around. saw
it only when it was within few feet of his
absent-minded companion. On the i'm
pulse OF the moment, without attempting
to rouse the man to sense of his danger
there not time for this-Mr. Booth
stepped forward and, clutching him by the
arm, lifted him almost bodily upon the plat
form. So the engine that it struck
the mans heels rs they left the track. The
rescued gentleman was SO overcome when he
realiZe d his danger that he could only bow his
thanks and give his hand to his preserver. 1t
happened that Mr.. Ford. in whose theater at
Washington President Lincoln was assassinated
by Mr. Booths brother. witnessed the scene de-
scribed above. Stepping forward. he said ex-
citedly: Mr.. Booth. do you know who that
man wasp No, was the reply. 1T was, said
Mr. Ford, Robert Lincoln. President Lincoln s
SON.. Mr. Booth afterward said that this act of
his gave him more satisfaction than could be
represented in any other way. In relating this
Mr. Booth mentioned the fact that the only vote
which he ever cast was for Mr. Lincoln when he
ran for President the second time"
Mr. Jnhn Ford ha nh Aory iS
sentially correct. except that the occurrence
was between March l and 8, 1876. and was pub
lished about ten years ago. 1t happened at
Bowling Green. KY. or at a station between
that place and Nashville, Tenn. Mr.. Ford had
been travelling through the south with a COM
pany, at the head Of which was Mr.. Booth. and
1t was at the close of Mr.. Booths engagement.
MIR. Booth separated from the others near the
Mammoth Cave and Mr. Ford returned with the
company TO Baltimore, stopping on the way nj
mberland. where the Academy of Music was
opened, Mr.. Frederick warde playing the lead

THE GIMLET KNIFE.
A Curious Weapon That is Used by Il
Louisiana Creoles.

A Curious Weapon That IL Used by the
Louisiana Creoles.
According to the Louisiana correspondent of
the Chicago Times the Creoles Of the 'Csjun
region in that state 60 armed with . singular
weapon known as the gimlet knife.
The gimlet knife is weapon so dangerous
that it's manufacture is forbidden by law. This
is one OF the smallest fighting knives used by any
people Of the earth and one Of the most deadly.
In length this knife is hardly longer than long
gimlet, so that it can readily be concealed in
side the waistband Of the trousers
The handle is not set on parallel with the
blade as in an ordinary knife. but ct right
angles like that Of q gimlet. hence the name.
The handle is grasped with the blade between
the second and third fingers, the upper part Of
the blade being drawn down to a shank so as 10
prevent cutting the fingers when the knife Is go
held. The blade when in position represents
merely an extension OF the axis Of the arm, and
il not held at right angles with the arm, a. the
villain in the play holds his knife. The blade
il made Of the best razor steel, lie double edged
for the lower two-thirds Of its length and 10 -
keen as q razor.
at is not dsgger-pointed. but has the
stronger formation Of Q rounding point The
blade Is short, but long enough to infiict fatal
wound. and SO strong and keen that it will
divide a rib under q powerful blow or cut
through any garment like 90 much paper. The
peculiar position of the handle leaves nothing
for an adversary to grasp at except the blade.
so that ii is almost impossible for the vielder
Of the knife to be disarmed, the more so as the
handle curves in at the end. giving the fingers
a better hold upon it.

LOOKING FOR A VOUDOO.
Colored Mans Strange Suspicious About
His Brothers Death.

His Brothers Death.
A portion OF the colored population of that
part Of Hillsdalc in the shadow Of tho insane
asylum greatly agitated over tine circum-
stances attending the death of the husband OF
Lizzie Bruce, who was buriei day before yes
| terdsy. Lewis Bruce. brother OF the deceased,
who has spent most OF his life outside the city
limits. had an idea that his brother was
not properly treated before his death. He
knew that his brothers wife had not neglected
him int ntionally, but he thought some one was
criminally responsible. and II possible he was
going TO find out the name of the party. And
| so Lewis proceeded 20 a magistrates Office and
paid so cents for warrant against his sistcr-in-
law. the charge he made against her being dis
orderly conduct.
Policemen MARI and Green served the war
rant and Attorney Pugh heard the facts in the
case this morning.
! Lawyer Hewlett was counsel for The widow
| of only few DAYS, and while the case was under
| investigation she was in the lawyers Office
almost PROSTATE. She was growing over the
loss OF her hu,band, and to think that warrant
awaited her return from the funeral was more
than she could stand.
Lewis Bruce and his wife we're both ready to
make their statements to Mr.. Pugh. They
made them.
| Lewis told his story in q manner that almost
required an Interpreter in order TO make him
thoroughly understood. Mr.. PuSh. however.
knew something of the mysterious subject under
investigation and his suggestions were of great
assistance
| MY brother had de deleria fever" said
Lewis. and he were conjured by one of dem
dar conjuring doctors"
| "Who was the doctor?" asked Mr.. Pugh.
| Don't know her name; dat's what Use tryin'
ter find ont. and if his wife amt got right to
tell Id like to know whar de law is
| "Do you know anything about the doctor?"
''She is great big, fat black woman from
South Washington. and when she came over to
de house she said he conjured, and any,
body what say he amt conjured, shan't live
| till de sun go down"
| What did she do?''
''She SAID dat she take worms out n his foot
and showed EN-. but dey want taken OUT his
foot, cause dey want no holes left in de foot"
"What did she charge for her services
"Ten dollars so dey tells me-"
Mr.. Pugh, being satisfied that he could re-
ceivc II diploma "voudoo DOCTOR" referred
the colored couple to Mr.. Mulowney, who said
he knew Of no law under which voudooism
could be punished unless the voudoo were in
custody, and the bereaved brother was told to
find the woman and return.
There being nothing against the widow Mr..
Pugh nolie pressed the charge against her in

the game.
Ewing made great catch of Farrelrs fly to

him and yelled, Don't do that again"
