LIGHT At LAST.
Miss BarroWcliff Throws
Much Light on the
Awful Event.

Miss Barrowcliff ate turkey yesterday.
To be sure, it was a small piece that she ate,
but that she could take any solid food at all
is a sign that she is improving rapidly. To-
day she sat for fifteen minutes by the win
dow, bolstered up in big arm chair. Her
nerves are much steadier now. This is
proven by the fact that the blasting under
her window no longer jars upon her.
Warden Osborne had the blasting stopped
fer week, but as Miss Barrowclif said
it no longer annoyed her she told the work
ingmen that they could go on with it. She
has told no new story as yet, but continues to
stick closely to the one she told week ago,
namely, that she was going toward the board
walk when assailed She talks this over
every day, and every day she seems to re-
member more of the details of what she did
on that night She now remembers receiv-
ing two silver dollars from Mrs. Mahlenbrook,
going to Smiths, giving two lessons, and
then hurrying towards the board walk and
the Marion station She hurried to the sta
ton, she said, hoping to meet Gertie on her
way from New York and walk with her to
Mrs. Ingram's home. She expected Miss
Dexter by the train arriving at the station
at 635 o'clock She has recollection of
turning up Broadway and almost reaching
the station when she received a blow in the
back of the neck. Then as if in a dream she
remembers thightning sensation about her
throat.
Warden Osborne said:-"All this talk
about her losing her mind is nonsense. Her
mind is all right, only it won't stand much
taxing as yet She has remembered more
each day and believe it won't be long be-
fore she recoveres. l don't think
she will tell any story differ
ent from the one she has already
told. To anyone who knows the locality
that is perfectly feasible one and they could
easily see how the deed could have been done
as she has described it, especially when they
consider that that night was as dark as
pitch.
Captain Lange called at the Hospital this
morning and was in consultation with DR..
Varick for some time.

TO BNJoIN SECRETARY CARLISLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1884," Thedespatch
from Des Moines, Ia., that win appear be-
fore the courts in this district as the repre-
sentative of Grand Master Workman Sow
ereign to enjoin the issue of bonds contem.-
plated by Mr. Carlisle, is partly correct and
morning Paanay "f0 \ have 1 telegraphed that Fl
would join with the counsel of
the order in presenting the case, but cannot
undertake to do it alone, as have not the
time. l imagine Judge Cole will come on
here for that purpose if anyone does. He is
the ex-Chief Justice Of the Iowa Supreme
Cou rt, the best lawyer in the State and one
of the best in the West believe
an injunction would lie against
the Secretary, for / am convinced
he has not the shadow of authority to issue
bonds, but whether we could get an injunc-
ton Is another question. My own i'm
press ion is that the best way to test the
subject would be to bring an action against
the holders Of the bonds to enjoin them
from collecting either the interest or the
principal

Justice Kimmerly Scores Health
officer Miller.
John Kohlmann, Jr. of No. ia Monticello
avenue, was tried before Justice Kimmerly
on Saturday, on charge of poisoning dog
belonging to Miss Lizzie Hewitt of No. 1872
Jewett avenne. The Justice reserved his de-
cision. This morning he imposed fine of
$25 upon him. The extreme penalty for
the offense is 500. Miss Hewitt's father
will sue kohlman civilly. Justice KIM
merly found out this morning that PATROL
man Robert Miller had evidence in the case.
Miller kept in the background, and did not
air his knowledge in court Kimmer1y called
Captain McKaig to task for not making
Miller appear in court to testify.
Captain McKaig said that he is not re-
sponsible for Miller, as he is employed in
the Health Department. Miller will be sub
poenaed to appear when the civil suit is tried,
ana it is thought that he will be able to pro-
duce evidence that will be damaging to
Kohlmann. At least half dozen dogs be-
longing to people living within block
of kohlmann's have been poisoned lately, but
their owners have never made very rigid in
vestigations as to the cause of their deaths,
consequently the fend has continued his
work. All these people are watching the
Hewitt case with interest.

LISBON, January %, 1S94.-Further details
from insurgent sources have been made pub
lie regarding the movements of General
Saraiva, who was said to have arrived at
Rio Janeiro Bay with reinforcements of
eight thousand troops for the insurgents.
This force is said to have arrived at Rio Jam
eiro on the night of January 15 Before
leaving Parana, General Saraiva is stated to
have seized 2, 1874 rifles, 100000 cartridges,
two Krupp guns and ammunition for them,
and $250,0 in cash. All the seized articles,
together with the cash, were turned over to
Admiral de Mello, who gave General Saraiva
a receipt for them.
The following incident also from an insur
gent source, is given to illustrate the treat
ment accorded Government troops by some
of their officers:-A private in Rio Janeiro
was severely wounded by shell that had
been fired from Fort Vil1egaignon, which is
held by the insurgents. As the missile
struck him, tearing flesh and crushing bone,
the man gave loud cry that was heard by
an officer standing close to him. The officer,
VINO had his sword in his hand, turned on
the wounded man and dispatched him. The
comrades of the man, thus foully muir
dered, turned upon the officer and would un-
doubtedly have killed him had it not been
that another shell fell into the struggling
crowd and exploded. Five of the men were
killed by this SHE'LL and the others then re-
turned to their posts NJ

of the porch fell upon him.
