SALEM RANK swINDLED.

A man purporting to be A. j. Bow.
man, of Hudson, N. Y, feeced the Sa-
lem National Banking Company out of
5000 on Tuesday. He came to Salem
early in the morning, and called upon
Lawyer j. f. Sinnickson, to whom he
said he had been directed by Judge
James Buchanan. BOwman's pretend
ed idea was to erect some sort Of u fac
tory in Salem. and he vas said to have
engaged Mr.. Sinnieks0n to look up the
title to the land. At any rate he was
taken to the bank and introduced to
Cashier Henry Rumsey. He stated to
the cashier that he wished to open an
account with the bank, and he deposit
ed two checks, amounting to nearly
two thousand dollars, to the account of
a. j. Bowman Il Go.
Bowman then drew a check for $500.
and after getting it cash, left the bank
and the town. In thinking over the
matter some time atterward Cashier
Rumsey became suspicious and tele-
graphed to the banks in Hudson, N. Y,
upon which the deposited checks were
drawn. n reply was received to the
effect that NJ such man was known
there, whereupon officers were at once
placed upon the track of the swindler.
He was traced to Gloucester, where he
is supposed to have the boat for Phila-
delphia.

The Art of Poisoning.

IPar1S Correspondence London Truth.
 To1icology seems to be becoming an i'm portant branch of public education at the close of this century. whose chief glory has been the wide distribution of useful knowledge. The art of poisoning without leaving traces may soon be included with the accomplishments taught at the lycees for young ladies. To those, however, who read the papers diligently no further in- struction on this head is needed. All that eminent chemists know about poisons has lately been told to the crowd of interview ing journalists who have waited upon them, and the papers have published columns up on columns of toxieology. Everybody now knows that there are animal alksloids sris- ing from decomposition which are deadly poisons, but whose traces In a corpse are no proof of suicide or murder, because a body itself produces exactly the same sl- kaloids soon after death. NJ Naquet, who, after being fascinated by toxicology, turned naturally to DO itios, tells us that this sub. tie poison can bs manufactured with the greatest ease by those who understand how to do it. Inquiring people who have a taste for murder combined with chemistry, will doubtless master the process as the Anarchists have already mastered that of manufacturing explosives.

THE CONSOLIDATED ROAD.

An Unsurpassed Road Bed-Pl ctures of the Chiefs-Tra1n Dispatch1ne. The last number of the Journal of Rail way Appliances has excellent portraits of
 some of the officials of the Consolidated
 road accompanying a sketch of the rail roads beginning, growth and present con-
 dition. It says the New York division is
 regarded as the finest piece of road bed in
 the country. Only one other road in the country approaches the Consolidated in the ratio of expenditures for maintenance of way and equipment to the total income. In four years it has abolished sixty-ive crossings at grade. The passenger earn
 ings of the New York division during the past year reached the unusual proportion of 50 per cent. of the company's gross in- come. In number of passengers and freight tonnage its business exceeds any similar length of road in the country.

ARRIVAL OF COAL.

Hard Polling on the Mighty Deep
 This Zero Weather-The Sound Full
 of Floating Mariners Glad to Get on
 Shore.
 The three-masted schooner Marion Sprague of Thomaston, Me, arrived at dock at this city last evening with 1,O55 tons of coal on board. She left Norfolk last Tuesday. there being no boat com munioation with Philadelphia on account of the ice. The vessel had rough passage and the intense cold weather made life on the ocean wave anything but pleasant In fact the officers and crew hardly remember having experienced any worse time from the cold. The crew were delighted to get on shore even though the weather was only ten above last evening, finding 1t perfect picnic to be on shore after their hard ex- periences with the frozen decks and rig ging and the piercing winds they had left behind. Outside New Haven breakwater, Long Island sound was filled with floating ice. This was the case on both sides of the sound. The middle passage only was clear. Arrived inside the breakwater tho vessel was taken in tow by two of the most powerful tugs in the harbor and lowed through the channel to the dock. The channel was filled with floating ice and froze up again in short time.
