A~Aa~aV1RAA 8AOOOA Y ASOt0Os
The following special TO the N. o. Plea.
JUNE, from Alexandria, under date of
March 18th, tells Of the tragic death of
swell known citizen Of Grant parish, who
resided in ward six for years:
The coroner's jury returned at IL last
night from Levin station. where they
went to examine the body Of Randolph
Herbert, a white man, aged about SO
years, who died yesterday morning. The
verdict was that he died from strychnine
poison administered by some unknown
person. His wife was also poisoned and
laid for long time in an unconscious
condition, but she has recovered and was
considered out OF danger when the coro-
ner LETT there, a. stated in the SPECIAL Of
yesterday. The poison was put Ia the
sugar contained IN tin can, and it could
b, picked out Of IL on The point OF pen-
knife with the naked eye. A bottle OF
strychnine crystals, put up by Powers 4
Weightman, which contained one-eiQhth
Of an ounce was found, and witness said
that he bought il in his place about five
weeks ago, and that witness had heard
the deceased say on several occasions that
he intended to commit suicide by taking
poison. The coroner's opinion is that two
children OF the deceased, Susie, IA years,
and Joseph, aged II years, were implicat-
ed in the killing, but that they did not
wish to kill their father but wanted to
kill Nm. Hebert, who was their step moth-
or, and with whom they did not live hap
PLY. The son will be arrested and jailed.
The girl made the coffee for the old folks
and gave il to them, and when the bow re-
turned from the stable he was very par
ticular to ask whore she had gotten the
sugar and was satisfied when she told him
that she had gotten the sugar for his cof-
Tee out Of the paper sack, and not out OF
the can. from which the old folks got
theira It was very plain, also. 10 see that
their evidence was given after mature
consultation, and very surprising, consid-
enng their ages, and being reared in the
hills. The deceased went to the war in
company Of the Crescent regiment, under
command Of Major Mercer Garfield.

RELIEF WORK GOES ON.

Prompt Measures Taken in st. Paul TO- Re-
Hove the Great Distress
ST. PAU, Sept. 3.-When the news
came that hundreds had persisted in the
forest flames along the line Of the Du-
luth road, the city was stirred to its
very foundations, for never in the his.
tory of the state has such terrible
calamity overtaken Minnesota. The
response was at once prompt and effect
i've. In few hours the measures for
relief were thoroughly organized The
action and the response were spenta-
neous.
Tams BSxby, in the absence Of the
governor, at once set the machinery Of
the state in motion, while J. j. Rhodes
and j. Fl. Burwell saw that the iobbers
were properly advised Of the gravity Of
the situation Mayor Smith and Sec
rotary Costello busted themselves with
the calling Of the relief meeting Of the
chamber of commerce this morning,
and various churches, irrespective of
denomination, were thrown open for
the reception Of contributions.

GOOD WILL RESULT.

The Strike Investigation Commented ON
by Chairman Wright.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Colonel G., D.
Wright, chairman Of the strike inves-
tigation commission, returned here
from Chicago and left soon after for
Boston. He will remain away until
Sept. Is, and on the day following the
strike investigation will be resumed in
this city. In an interview with an
Associated Press reporter Commissioner
Wright expressed his confidence in the
beneficial results Of the inquiry, and
summed up the work of the commission
by saying: "a number of newspaper
statements as to what the commission
is likely to recommend have been
brought to my notice. The commission,
however, has formulated no recomda-
tions, decided on none and all such
statements are mere guess work. I
consider the investigation thoroughly
successful. ALI leading men on both
sides, railroad leaders and Pullman Off
Gals freely gave testimony, and the in
vestigation was conducted fearlessly
and impartially, and in the most search
ing manner. I believe it will do great
good in the end, and that out of it will
come some most valuable recommends
tions. The commission sat ID days and
examined 1O7 witnesses. It has now
adjourned to meet in Washington on the
Goth for the purpose Of hearing any tes-
timony which may be considered neces-
sary for the completion Of the report and
which parties on either side Of the con-
troversy may deem essential to tho case.
In the meantime each member Of the
commission win be hard at work study.
ing the testimony already furnished,

involved in the investigation and pre-.
pairing himself for the commissions
final report. Our plan is to have the
report ready BY the middle Of Novem'
her and to submit it to congress early
in the next session.
