NEW YORK, Dec 12-The trial Of DR..
Henry G.. f. Meyer, the alleged poisoner
and defaulter of insurance companies, was
resumed i'm the court of oyer and terminer
before Judge Barrett Carl Muller, who
had turned states evidence, and who gave
his testimony last week recting i'm detail
the horrible murderof Brandt, committed
by the prisoner for the sake of his life in
surance policy, and of which Muller, the
witness, claimed to he q participant, was
submitted to a severe cross examination
by Lawyer Brooke, counsel for DR. Meyer.
The witness was not in the least dis
turbed at the thrusts given him by Mr..
Brooke in the cross examination, except
when the fact that he had deserted q wife
in Germany was brought up The same
tone Of questioning made him acknowl-
edge that, notwithstanding his recent mar
riage to Mary Neiss. he sent $500 of the
money DR.. Meyer gave him for his share
In the Brandt murder to the deserted
wife, at Sistich, Germany. Mr. Brooke
succeeded in confusing the glib witness
several times He could not describe the
antimony which he said Meyer had ad-
ministered to Brandt. In fact he had to
confess he had not seen the contents of
the package he said was marked anti
mony"
In another instance Mr.. Brooke made
Muller testify that he had sworn falsely
Friday when he related that he called at
the Morton house for My friend, H.

there, but had gone away.

ground against mob law in general.
HIS remedy was the enactment of

all rapists, fixing punishishment at
death. He also wanted to compel the
county In which man was lynched to
pay his heirs $4,000.
Tonight Bishop Turner delivered an
address carefully prepared and full OF
deep feeling. He dep,ored the appar-
ent taint upon the race and declared
If even half charged against the COL
ored men of the United States were
true, the colored men themselves
should band together and organize for
correction of the evil by the most radi-
measures. The bishops remedy In
part is African emigration. He favors

daily labor, say $500, ,0O0,000, to enable
them to begin African emigration.

ST. Louis, Nov. 25.-The death this
morning at the city hospital OF Annie

other to the list of shocking tragedies.
Yesterday morning James Fitzgerald
staggered, bleeding, into the South

Searchers found the girl on the porch
Of 7OO1 Broadway, where. as after
wards told by Fitzgerald, the two.
who were lovers, had been bidding
each other adieu.
The story told by Fitzgerald was
that an unknown man opened fire on
the couple as they stood close together,
slightly wounding him and fatally
wounding the girl. Fitzgerald claimed
TO have pursued the assassin, firing
three shots at him without avail.
Then he reported the affair to the po-
lice. Tonight after searching exami-
nation by the police, Fitzgerald con-
fessed that he had committed tho
deed In jealousy. The confession was
precipitated by the fact that the bullet
causing the girls death fitted Fitz-

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The presidents message is
now about half finished and he
is now denying himself
to all callers to work upon it. He
does not come into his office except on
cabinet days, Tuesdays and Fridays,
and works late into the night. Here
tofore President Cleveland has usually
allowed himself six weeks to work on
his messages. 1t is supposed that he
has deferred work on this message to
allow time for some developments In
the Hawaiian matter, and the time for
congress to convene is so near that no
longer delay is possible. 1t is, there
lore, thought pro2able the Hawaiian
matter will be treated later in spe-
cial message.
SILVER LEGISLATION.
The silver question will assert its
rights to hearing in connection with
the tariff. 1t will come in the shape
OF a proposition to put a duty upon
silver portations; not in the house,
but in the senate. If the plans of
those who have the matter In hand do
not miscarry, an effort to secure this
innovation will be made in connection
with the metal schedule, and 1t will be
coupled with the item concerning lead
and silver lead ores. The purpose of
this movement is twofold. 1t may
prepare the way for free coinage of the
American product of silver, about
which so much has been said in recent
years, and it is expected to prevent
counterfeiting of the American dollar
in other countries and sending coun.
terfeits to this country.

How an Old Phrase Originated.

The phrase That beats bobtail," is
not uncommon even now in many parts
of the country, especially in the south.
Its origin is traceable to a race which
occurred about 1910 or shortly before
that year on the famous Fairfield track
on the Mechanicsville turnpike, neal
Richmond. In those days Bob Poin-
dexter lived in Richmond. He was a
sporting man, wore fine clothes and
owned a mum Der of horses. Among his
animals was one he named PiZarro, a
plain bay gelding, with black name and
tail, the latter bobbed short.
There was nothing extraordinary about
the horse, and nobody looked upon him
as a racer. But Poindexter took a no.
ton that he could run. He used to
drive Pizarro about Richmond hitched
to a buggy. On the day that he was ad-
vertised to appear on the track a great
crowd was present and excitement ran
high, for a good dealof money had been
put on the other horses. To the aston
ishment of everybody Pizarro beat every
horse on the track. and the people went
fairly wild.
Bobtailed Pizarro never made much
of a record. He Won two or three races,
| and then went to pieces. For years
afterward, when anything extraordinary
| happened in that section it was said OF
it. That beats bobtail." - Baltimore

Perseverance and Push,

Perseverance and push" are far from
being the same thing, and quite as far
from being equally c~ommendable. A
girl walked into a large dry goods store,
and going up to one Of the firm asked if
he wished to employ any more girls in
his workroom. The gentleman was busy.
but he left his work and answered her
courteously in the negative.
The girl, who was showily dressed and
evidently impressed with her own ap-
pearance, would not accept his answer.

antly.

was the reply.
But won't you need some n after
awhile!"

cidedly and with courteous GOODNESS.
The girl looked at the gentleman some
what doubtfully and walked out. Turn
ing to a friend the gentleman said:

busy and pushed herself forward with

PLOTS" Are VERY Scarca-

James Payn recently told this anec
dote to illustrate the difficulty of secur-
ing good plots:
"Trollope was at one time almost
alone IN not seeing the necessity of hay
ing any story in his books. Wilkie
Collins once said to him. Your fertility.
dear fellow, amazes me; where do
you get-they are not much, but still
you have to find them-your plots FROM
We'll, my good sir, to tell you the truth,
from you. A very little bit of one Of
your plots-and, you see, you never miss
it-does for me-
1.-The fact is. a good plot is a difficult
thing to get. A very clever a~cquaint-
ance of mine, a divine who had distin-
gulshed himself in literature, once con-
.troverted this. He said he had himself
quite a talent for plots, only. being in
the theological line, they were of no use
to him. Well | said, a little irritated,

knew the cloth. and the shaft went
home), and for every good plot you give
me, if it is only in ten lines. I'll give you
ten pounds After awhile-not the next
day, as he had led me to expect-he sent
me a dozen. Il didn't find it quite SO
easy as | thought. he admitted in his
letter, but here they are.
"Six were as old as the hills and the
other six not worth a farthing. | have
had hundreds of plots-or the hint OF
them, which is all that is required

career, but only two good ones, and one

NOTE OF WARNING!

DWIGHT, H., April so, 1892.
AS a matter of justice to ourselves and to

Double Chloride of Gold remedies, for the
cure of the liquor, plum, morphine and
tobacco diseases and Neuiasthenia, re warI
the public that these remedies are used b,
n" institution or sanilarinm in the | nj e
states except those established by ouI com
pany under the uniform name of 9Th,
Kelley Institute"
All others claiming to use our remedie.
are frauds and imposters.
We have now sixty Kelley Institutes es-
tablished in various parts of the United
States where the Kelley treatment is ad-
ministered and the Kelley remedies sold
We, however, caution all to examine wei!
and know that they are dealing with genuine
representatives, authorized 10y us, before
taking the treatment or purchasing remedies.
The fraudulent establishments use the name
of "Bi-Chloride of Cold or similar titles
The newspapers do not discriminate sufti-
GENTLY to know that they are imitators, and
so put down all accidents occurring at such
establishments as being brought about by
the Kelley treatment. This is a matter OF
much concern to us, hence this warning.
Respectfully yours,
THE LESLIE Z. KELLEY co.

The Kelley institute at Greensboro, n. c.,
is the only one in the state, and all repre-
sensations hat there is in the state any cure
that is identical with, or the same as, the

malicious, false, and made for the purpose Of
deceiving. We learn with indignant regret
that such claim is being made, and feeling
that if it be hurtful to US it will prove more
disastrous to those who are deceived thereby
we sound this warning.
