Three Principals in a Poisoning Case
Become Witnesses for the State.

Become Witnesses for the State
Ocala, Fla, Sept 11.-F'ostus Birgs,
who cane up from Inverness, Citrus
county, this afternoon, brings the latest
phae uof the Jump tragedy. He SAYS
Tom jump and wife and the mother of
Tom were under arrest; that the body of
the former wife of Tom Jump, whom the
parties under arrest are accused of poiS-
oning, was'exhumed and the coroner's in
quest was held on the same by On S. r.
Turner of Inverness. The witnesses were
separated, and kept so through the exam
nation and after, and none knew what
had been the testimony of each Mrs
Jump, mother of Tom Jump, was first ex-
amined. She confessed that the salts
administered to Toms former wife con-
tanned glass She knew it by taking a
piece out that had stuck between her
teeth; that she then examined the salts
and found it full of pounded glass.
SECOND WIFE 5 TESTIMONY.
The present Mrs. Jump testified that
her husband Tom Jump, said he would 90
down to Rogers place to get strychnine
to give to Mrs. Jump. She said not to do
so, as it would be found out She also adj
mitted finding glass in salts which was
administered to deceased. How it got
there She did not know. When Tom
Jump was pun On Iub SGdnu ne Sdld MS
present wife informed him she had mixed
the poison ready to administer to the vic
tim. The body was identified by her
clothes and the rings on her fingers. Tom
Jump said the reason his present wife
poisoned his former cOuSort, was to marry
him.
ALL THREE FOR THE STATE.
All three witnesses turned states evil
dence. The poisoning and death of Mrs
Jump took place year ago in the country
home some distance from Inverness The
present wife has a child two months old,
and was an inmate in the Jump family at
the time of the poisoning and marriage
1t was reported Saturday that in ex-
huming the body of Mrs. Jump the re-
mains of a Mrs. Vance were taken by
mistake, which was not the case. The
right body was secured.

THE DEATH HORROR.
Burning of the Cold StOr-
age Building on the
Worlds Fair
Grounds.
Fifteen or Twenty Persons
.Cremated.

One of the interesting exhibits
at the Columbian Exposition was
totally destroyed by fire on last
Monday.
The Cold Storage building was
erected for the sole purpose of ex-
hibiting the system of ice manu-
facture by the numerous machines
made for that purpose and in OPP
peration in the first story of the
building, in which also were the
immense refrigerators for the stor-
age of meats, fruits, &c.
The second story was a huge
skating rink of real ice, freshly
frozen every twenty four hours.
The fire seems to have originat-
ed in the tower and from there
communicated to every part of the
vast wooden structure.
The cause of the fire is made
clear by the statement of the arch
itect who furnished the plans. His
design was to carry the smoke
stack to the top of the tower in
closing 1t, putting thimble around
the top of the stack with asbestos
packing between the stack and
the thimble and topping it with a
cast iron grill. The owners omitted
the thimble, packing and grill-and
as the architect had nothing to do
with the building beyond furnish
ing the plans he could not inter
fere. "To fully illustrate the action
of the thimble on the top of the
stack" Architect Burnham said,
"take, for instance, a common tent
and cut hole in the top, then put
up stove in this tent, stopping the
pipe say SIX inches below the hole
in the tent, then build a fire in the
stove and run your chances of set
ting fire to the tent. This is about
the condition OF the top of the
stack at the time of the fire."
The firemen in order to more eff.
fectually combat with the flames
ascended to the top of the tower
and in that position were soon cut
off from decending by the fire
breaking out below them, their
only alternative being to remain
and sufiicate in the heat and smoke
or jump from the height of ninety
feet to certain death.
Several made the fatal leap, and
some died of suffocation and theil
remains, charred to cinder, are
being dug from the ruins.
Fifteen bodies had been recover
ed up to Thursday morning ant
it is thought that five or six more
are vet to be found.

Capt. Alfred e. Lee on the
Pension Question.

wThe love and affection which
Republican poiitici ans have for the
soldiers of the cou ntry is some-
thing phefomenal, as the under
signed has abundant reasons to
know. 1t is only surpassed by the
love and affection of the pension
agent at Washington, some of
whom, by means of the commits
sions which they have gouged out
of 'the old soldiers in the collection
of their pensions, have become
millionaires.
A conspicuous example of this
love and affection was furnished
by the late lamented Harrison's
administration in the removal of
General Corse, the wounded hero
of Altoona Pass, from the Boston
postoffice. 1t was admitted that
Corse was one of the best post
masters that Boston ever had, and
his removal was protested against
by many fair minded Republicans,
but all that weighed not feather
with the greedy Republican parti-
sans and the narrow minded In
diana pettifogger, who happened
by the grace of monopoly to do
mineer at the White House. They
wanted Corse's head, and they took
it as mercilessly as they would
have taken that of confederate
or defaulter, Many similar In
stances, less conspicuous perhaps,
but equally fiagrant, might be CIV
en-.
"Another striking illustration Of
the surpassing affection which the
blatherskite politicians Of the Re-
publican persuasion bear toward

Grand Larceny.

On Thursday of this week David
Allen, a farmer living on rented
land a short distance south of town
went to gather blackberries leav-
ing his house without an occupant
During his absence some dastardly
scoundrel entered his house and
stole $500 all the money on the
premises and sum representing
the savings of years of honest toll
on the part of Mr.. Allen.
There is no clew to the per
petrator of the theft.

the sold soldier is found in the
pauper legislation by which they
have reduced the veterans who did
the fighting to the same pension
level as the sharks, deserters and
hospital bummers who either had
not smelt gun powder or avoided
smelling 1t whenever they could
possibly do SO. To the national
treasury, which 1t was intended to
deplete, the legislation is fraud;
to the fighting veterans, which it,
in effect degrades, it is an outrage.
1t has loaded the pension roll with
men whose disability, if they have
any, is the result of their own mis-
doing and has been contracted long
since the war closed.
1t has enabled hundreds of men
of practically no service to draw
larger pensions than can possibly
be obtained by consciention veter.
ans who served the war through.
1t has induced thousands to COM
NIT perjury by swearing that they
are unable to support themselves
by manual labor. 1t has enriched
pension agents-for it is their law
has nearly bankrupted the treas
ury, and has disseminated laziness,
decentralization and corruption.
Worse than all, it has lowered
the whole body Of soldiers in popu-
lar esteem. The deep aud earnest
respect in which the actual veter-
ans of the war have been and
should be held by the American
people has been chilled by the
greedy scramble and brazen pre-
tensions which has reduced pa
triotism to the low level Of a mer.
cenary thing to be paid for, not in
respect, but in money. 1t has TAX.
en- the American volunteer from
his high pedestal as a. self reliant
man and an unselfish patriot and
has branded him as a Hessian and
a mendicant. 1t has done more to
dishonor the brave men whose val.
or and whose blood saved this
country than anything an un.
friendly political party ever did or
could do.
"The true friends of the soldiers
are those who favor, and not those
who oppose, the rectification OF
this monstrOus abuse. The howl
which is now being raised against
this rectification is chiefly the work
of pension agents, politicians and
bummers. Brave and Intelligent
soldiers favor it because it is the
vindication of their good name and
that of their true comrades. They
favor it because it is more for theil
interests than for that of any class
of citizens that the pension rol
should be in the strictest and high
est sense a roll of honor.
"That no deserving pensioner is
in the least danger of having hi.
name stricken from the pension
roll every sensible person knows
1t is only the undeserving who ar,
in peril of such treatment, and it i.
from them and their partisans tha
the outcry against purging the roll
proceeds. This class will continue
to howl and throw dust in the air
but only the weakest of the veal
minded will be deceived by tn,
: performances. The public opinion
in favor of limiting pensions strict
ly to those whose services and &C
tual service disabilities have mer
tied them is overwhelming, ant
any organization or political part,
which undertakes to withstand i
i. will go to the WALL"
