Testimony of Men Who Were Sufferers
and Their Doctors.
PiTTsBuRG. Jan. 13.-The court room was
crowded ut the second days trial Of Hugh
Dempsey for completely in the Home mestead
poisoning. Most of the forenoon session
was taken up with the examination of the
men taken ill while working at Homestead,
and their physicians. The latter all e1-
press the belief that the men had been poi
eoned. The defense objected to the doc-
tors testimony. The court said the pro-
ceedings were somewhat irregular. but if
it could be proved that tho defendant was
guilty of furnishing poison the evidence
would be admissible. he district attorney
said he would show this fact, and the testi-
mony WAS admitted.
AT the afternoon session several wit
nesses testified to having been seizsd with
sudden and severe illness after eating in
the Homestead mill. DR.. H. 5. McGeary
who treated WIN. III. Johnston. one OF the
witnesses, said arsenical poisoning alone
would produce such marked symptoms as
Johnston's case presented y. The witness
also attended BENJAMIN Weaver, another
Witness, whose symptoms he said could
hive bsen produced only bv some strong
irritant poison. Df. A. z. FoRelman, who
attended Other witnesses. stited that the
cases did not yield to treatment us readily
as they should have done. He said the
symptoms in thoir Diseases could have been
produced by some corrosive poison. On
cross-e Examination the witness said: Cook
ing fool in large quantities, drinking water
such as the men were not used to, and cli-
matte changes would tend to produce dis
ense similar to that which affected tho
men,"

For Sunday Opening,

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-The Worlds fair
Sunday opening hearings were continued
to-day before the Worlds fair committee.
7. j. Morgan, chairman of the Chicago
Trades and Labor assembly, spoke in favor
Of Sunday opening. He has responses from
375 labor organizations, IN almost every
city in the country, all favoring SUNDAY
opening. This was exclusive of the great
German-American Turnerbund and tho
German saloon keepers Of Chicago.
Rev. DIR. Douley, representing the cities

sented a petition sixty five feet in length
against sunday opening. He read letter
from Gov. Pattson EXPRESSING hearty ap.
proval of Sunday closing, aud said the
Worlds fair commission and the state of
Pennsylvania voted the same.
Rev. DR.. Thomas, of Chicago, agreed that
the mntter of going to the Worlds fair on
sunday should be left to each PERSONS con-
science. Sunday opening was not desc
Grafton OF the Sabbath, as assumed by the
other side. Business and pleasure were in.
separahle from any great movement or en-
to- erprise. but the fair was not busin ess
project or q vast show. The fair was a
school and church for the exhibition of the
nature of mans progress and appealed to
the intellectual and moral life of tho

A PRINCE IN PERIL.

An Attempt Made to Kidnap Montenegro
A Lively SsirlnIsh.
BuDA PEsTH, Jan. 13-Dsspite official
denials, the Pssti Herlap insists upon the
truth of reports concerning the plot to
kidnap the prince of Montenegro. The
plot was concocted in Cettinje, the capital
of Montenegro says the Herlsp, and was
of clerical origin. 1t was discovered just
before maturity, but a desperate effort was
made by conspirators to GARY it into execu-
tion.. About 200 men started for the palace
to seize the prince. Warning was received
at the palace, Al,eady doubly guarded, and
al! the military in the city called out. The
soldiers met the conspirators short dis
tance from the city and began firing at
once. The oonspirstors who were we'll
armed. returned the fire and tried to charge
through the troops. but were repu!sed.
After thlrty-six oonspirators were killed
and ninety wounded, the attempt to seize
the prince was abandoned. some thirty of
the uninjured were arrested and the rest
fled. Subsequently twenty-eight priests
we arrested for having led in the forma-
tion and attempted execution of the plot.

Nsws Of Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Senators and rep
resentativea. without regard to party, sx-
press themselves - delighted that Henato,
Carlisle. Of Kentucky. has about decided "a
aocspt the treasury portfolio. They ali
speak in tho highest terms OF his great
ability to succsssfally conduct the finances
of the governments. Tho selection Of Sem
ator Carlisle for the treasury nearly gives aa
mush satisfaction - did the election Of Mr..
Cleveland. The entirs press indorse the
appointment. and there IL no doubt that the
president-elect has greatly strengthe cd
himself in calling Senator Carlisle for his
chief adviser. The World. in its editorial
Washington dispatch to-day. says: 1T ia
now regarded in Washington a. certain
that Mr.. Carlisle ID to be secretary Of the
feasury."
The prospect plssses and satisfies every
body. Almost anybody might shine in that
position a. the successor Of Charles Foster,
but the feeling 10 deep and strong that in
the present condition Of the treasury IL
nssds at it, head the ablest and safest man
to be had. and there are no two opinions in
Washington a. TO MI. Carlisle's primacy in
that department.. Apart from the direct
management Of the treasury. and tho work
Of bringing order out Of chaos into which it
has fallen, the members of congress, who
most deeply feel the need of wisdom in re-
forming the fiscal system Of the country.
look upon Mr.. Carlisls's selection ~ one
which secures to them the counsel they de-
sire in their work. IL will be great disap-
p0intment if the Kentucky senator shall
after all decline the place.
The talk of this matter has set men
thinking about Mr.. Carlisle and his peculiar
fitness to be- Mr.. Clcvoland's successor in
the presidency. The subject 10 constantly
discussed around the capital, and the sua.
gestion is everywhere greeted as one in the
direction Of higher standards in politics.
y is not as an available man that Mr.,
Carlisle is mentioned in this connection, it
10 not man with organization behind him,
nsr as = man able to carry this. that or the
other state, but as man fit for the high
place and one who broadly represents all
that ID best in democracy. II il early vet
to discuss candidates for 1886, but
u 10 encouraging at any rate that the
discussion takes this form instead OF the
loNef one toward which opinion seemed to
set until the democracy of tho country
overbors the politicians at Chicago and
compelled nomination which represented
its true convictions and its higher impulses.
The suggestion OF Mr.. Carlisle's name re-
fleets also the disposition to regard New
York as no longer 'pivotal." no longer ab-
1t is at last deemed practicable 10 select
candidates without reference to the ques-
tion whether or not they live in New York,
and perfectly possible to carry New York

CaprIces of Fortune.

Every imaginative person cher
ishes in his heart the hope that some
unexpected windfall may bring him
wealth. In very few instances this
secret wish has been gratlfed Years
ago, a lady named Burch was one of
London crowd that had assembled to
see street pageant. Suddenly she
noticed an old gentleman faint and
confused with the pressure Of the
crowd, which pronounced him drunk.
Discerning with better insight that
he was not drunk, but very Ill, Miss
Burch led him to seat, found him
somewhere a glass of water, and in a
few minutes restored his scattered
energies. He thanked her warmly,
asked her name, and departed--to be
heard of no more till a few days ago,
when asolicltor called to inform Miss
Burch that the old gentleman had
bequeathed her the immense reward
for such a service of nearly million
dollars. 1t is said that Albert Way,
the well-knoWn archeologist, came
by fortune in this wise. Crossing
Pail Mall he cannoned against an old
gentleman, and discounted him.
After mutual apologies and the inter-
change of civilities, cards were ex-
changed, and on each card was inn
printed "Mr. Albert Way" The
older gentleman at his death had no
natural heir, and left his fortune to
the other Albert Way. These two
incidents seem more like fairy tales
than veritable happenings. Stories
Of unexpected fortunes, Of course,
are as common as blackberries. Some
body is always making or finding or
inheriting 10 heap Of money which
seems to himself almost to have come
from the clouds Worthless shares
become valuable. A workingman
discovers a mine; or a relative, from
whom nothing was expected, sud-
denly heaps everything on the kins-
man who bored him least, as occurred
last year wiyhin cur own knowledge.
