A Busy Bay at Lake SaItonstall Yes
terday.
A large number of excursionists took an
outing at Lake Saltonstall yesterday. The
pretty steamer Cygnet, Captain Baldwin,
made four trips to accommodate all, and
the barge went along on some of the trips.
No more delightful day for an outing at
Glen grove and a sail on this lovely sheet
of water could have been desired. People
may 90 hundreds of miles for lake trip
and not find so beautiful sheet of water
as old Lake Saltonstall. Many prominent
New Haven citizens and their families took
this trip yesterday. Mr.. Grsnnis at his
temperance refreshment stand in the grove
had ODE of his busiest days of the season.
The steamer will continue to make trips on
the lake we'll into the autumn. The leafy
forests of trees on each side of the lake are
just beginning to take on their autumnal
coIors. In few days the effect will be
very gay and handsome. Yesterday after
noon the lake was dotted with boats occu-
pied by piscatorisl artists. Quite num-
Der of ladies were taking part in the sport
also. Mr.. Bsbcock, of W. J. Atwater's
Office on Grand avenue, had excellent luck,

ARSENIC CAPSULES.
Expert Chemists Give Testimony In the
Meyer Trial.

Expert Chemists Give Testimony In the
Meyer Trial.
New YORK, Dec. 16.--George Ramsey, a
druggist, was called to the witness stand
yesterday as an expert to testify about the
capsules which had been identified as the
size used by Dr. Meyer in administering
pure arsenic TO Brandt. He set up pre-
scription department on table in front
of the jury box, and carefully filled n
capsule with the arsenic. Then he placed
the capsule in his scales, and after while
said: "The capsule weighs 1-2 grains.
j have put 20 grains OF arsenic in it."
Sometimes two grains will kill. Pro
fessor Wood had testified that ''siX TO 10
grains of arsenic developed into six doses
would prove surely fatal"
The surprise of the day was sprung by
the defense when DIR. O'Sullivan called his
old enemy, Professor Rudolph A. Witt
haus, the chemist, to the witness stand
in behalf of DIR. Meyer.
DIR. O'Sullivan's first questions were
calculated TO impress the jury that Pro
fessor Witthaus had invariably appeared
as an expert against the accused in every
former case. The professor said it would
be impossible to determine whether
poisons in body were ante-mortem or
post-mortem. 1t was 4:10 o'clock when
the defense closed, having occupied only

New YORK, Dec 10. - r. G. Dun's
Weekly Review of Trade says: 1t is

country that while mills are stopping In

ployed is larger than has been for many
years, other mills are constantly starting

Grafton. Filibustering was renewed, di-
vision was demanded, the point OF no quo

Carlisle Displeased with Voorhees, New

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Secretary Car
Isle was asked what he thought of Sena-
tor Voorhees, financial scheme, which re.
quires the secretary TO coin $1,000, 900 a
month of the seigniorage until exhausted,
and thereafter to purchase 1000, 900 OF
bullion monthly.
The secretary said he knew nothing
about it and never heard of it until he
read it in the papers. He said that he was
decidedly opposed to 1t, and that il was
nothing more or less than the restoration
Of the old Bland act. In fact he did not
want any legislation of that kind.
He would not object to measure Civ
Ing him authority to coin the seigniorage
If he required il, but to compel him to
coin S2,0O0000 per month until the seign-
forage was used mp, and then to pur-
chase and coin thereafter g., ,00o, 900 bullion
monthly he regards as absurd.
The secretary has his report all COM
pleted, except that referring TO the inter
national revenue branch. He says that
the Democratic members of the ways and
means committee have promised to give
him the information required today. IL
he gets it he will have his report ready to
submit to congress on Monday.
The secretary does not believe there
will be any change in the sugar schedule.
The revenue required will be derived from
other sources. IL the committee shall
agree to an individual income tax, it is
safe TO say that il would stand very little
chance of passing the house.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, August 25,-
Last evening about hali-past four
o'clock, as A. NJ. Ferry was going up
Arbuckle creek, about half mile west
OF ThurmOnd, he slipped of from the
road but a short distance to get a
drink OF water. On arriving at the point
where he expected to drink he was
Mortified to And Robert Baines, only
seventeen years ole, with his throat
cut nearly from ear to ear. He found
life in the body and reported the mat
ter to the Thurmond authorities. DR..
Noel, OF that place, went at once. They
got the body to the Thurmoud depot,
where they dressed the wound, find.
ing the wind-pipe nearly severed.
The boy could not speak tor several
hours, but finally said he and his uncle
by marriage, Henry Caldwell, resides
ut Prince W. Va, aud worked for the
Royal Coal and Coke Company. They
came down last night and csmped out
near Thurmond. They bought aar-
dimes and crackers in the morning for
their breakfast and started in the direc-
tion OF the Thurmond works. As they
went up Arbuckle creek Caldwell in.
sisted on BRines going off the road a
few steps to get drink OF water. They
got the water and decided to take q
sleep under the shade. This is the last
he remembers. Caldwell left him for
dead, with the razor still sticking in his
throat. Baines says Caldwell got only
50 for doing the deed, which was all the
money he had. The people are very
much excited, about three hundred
men gathered at the depot and il the
boy dies, and the physicians think
he will, Caldwell will be strung TO the
arst telegraph pole or tree as soon as he
is found,
