AGAINST MRS. SHANN.


Was Dosed to Death.
TRENTON, Aug. 12.-The fourth day of
the Shann murder trial opened with Pro-
fessor Wormley, the Philadelphia toxicol-
ogist, again on the stand. He was GROSS.
examined at length touching the nature Of
mercury.
DR.. Frank v. Cantwell, the county ply
sician of Mercer county, testified regard
ing the investigation which he made MS
soon as he learned of the circumstances
attending young Shann's death. 1t was
he who made the post mortem examine
tion and ordered the coroner's inquest.
Witness said Shann's body could have
been disemboweled In ten minutes. Tho
witness was required TO answer many
hypothetical questions, and his evidence
substantially was that Shann had been
dosed to death by mercurial poison.
DIR. Cantwell said that Mrs. Shann did
not object to the post mortem examina-
tion, but wanted It made in her house.
Whoever had mutilated the body Of John
Shann fdid it very much as a surgeon
would have done IL, but 1t was not fecess-
srily surgical operation. A butcher or
anyone could have done the cutting. The
person who removed the organs must have
known considerable about anatomy. There
was nothing to indicate an expert hapd.
but firm hand and sharp knife were
undoubtedly employed.
The court was in session only two hours
this morning

RELIGIOUS RIOT IN BOMBAY.
s1ohammodsns and uiudoos Engage In a
Lively Fight.

Lively Fight.
BOMBAY, Aug. 12.-The Heterogeneous
population Of this city is always at odds
In regard to religious questions, and yes.
terday q number of MahoInmedans and
Hindoos became involved in dispute
which soon led tn a general riot
The Mahommedans were observing one
OF the festivals commanded by the Koran.
while the Hindoos were also taking part
In celebrating day set apart for religious
observance. The consequence was that
religious feeling was high ON both sides,
and 1t took but little to cause the men who
were at first involved in the dispute to
come to blows. The number of rioters
grew rapidly, and when somo of the Ma
hommedans proposed to capture one OF the
Holy Hindoo temples they found plenty to
aid them in the attempt. The Mahom-
medans rushed to the temple. but the
priests, aided by hundreds OF Hindoos,
fought desperately against the deseoration
Of the building and finally succeeded In
driving the attackers Off. The fighting
was continued in the vicinity, and Inally
the authorities were compelled to call out
the troops to restore order, which was
ultimately done after considerable trouble.
The rioting was generally in the business
part OF the city, and during its continu-
ance traffic was entirely stopped. Many
OF the participants are now in the hos
pitfalls.
The feeling between the two sects has
been rendered more bitter by the fighting.
aud close watch will be kept to prevent
another outbreak.
Further murderous assaults have been
made on the Hindoos this morning. Troops
are massed In the chief native centers and
patrols are constantly on the move, with
guns trained upon the principal native
streets These streets are now deserta

The Birth of the Opal.

There is a beautiful little story told
about the opal, that delicate tone which
you have no doubt seen in rings and
bracelets. The story is that the opal
was long ago promised to anybody who
could discover it. 1t lay hidden away,
90 the old fortune tellers used to say, at
the place "where the sunlight and the
moonlight joined" each other, and who
ever could find that spot would be re-
warded by a Quantity Of large. beautiful
opals. After q long search for the place
"where the sunlight and moonlight
joined each other, the place was found
by a Spanish traveller, who followed up
the rays of the setting sun, and when he
had reached the end of the last ray he
waited until the moonbeams shone upon
the earth, and there he found the opals.
They are said to be very lucky stones
for those who are born in the fall of the
year and very unlucky for those born in
the spring. Of our it is only a say-
ing that these are lucky OF unlucky. but
the rest of the story is true, as you will
believe if you look in the heart of an
opal and see the pink tints Of the sun
and the blue rays Of the noon Nesting i'll
tle middle Of it.-Cincianati Enquirer.
