 Returning to Greytown on the 18th the party left on the steamer Montgomery on the 24th of May, touched at Port Li- mon and made a trip to San Jose and returned. The party had an admirable opportunity of observing every construc- ton through very difficult country. Thence the party went to Colon, arriy- ing there July 1, and made a careful ex- animation of the Panama canal from Colon to Panama and back.
 "The commission is now on it's way home. The entire trip has been unat- tended with any mischance or illness of any kind and the commission has every reason to be satisfied with the results of It's labor. It was especially invited to the capitals of both Nicaragua and Costa Rica and received with great courtesy and hospitality. The commission re- turns to New York for the purpose of preparing it's report. stopping en route at Washington to advise the authorities of it's return.

ARREST OF MRS. SPNEY Fuller Details of the Sensation
 in Montgomery. THE SERVANT GIRLS STORY Is Straight and Strong-Coroborated by Druggists-Spivey Had S7000
 on His Life

Montgomery, July 15.-(Special)- Since the sudden and unexpected death in this city, on June 24, of w. H. Spivey, proprietor of the Dexter house and a salesman in Hicks shoe store, rumors have been current that his death was not natural, but that it was caused by poisonous drugs administered either by his own hand with suicidal intent or by that of another with murderous in- tent.
 Spivey's father. MT. W. W. Spivey, has all along claimed that his son was poisoned and has several times spoken of having the body exhumed and an investigation held, but nobody ever be- lieved that it would actually be done
 The town was therefore electrified this afternoon by the news that Mrs. May SpiVey, wife of the deceased. had been arrested by Special Officers Payne and Murphy and lodged in the county jail on a warrant sworn out by w. W. Sp1Vey, charging her with having un- lawfully and with malice aforethought poisoned and killed her husband, w. H. SplVey, with morphine, and Coroner Woodley Campbell was holding an in- Vestfgation and examining witnesses
 coroner Campbell has been quietly in- Vestlgating the case ever since Spivey's death, and today's developments are the climax.
 The first witness called was Fife Crit tenden, colored servant in the Dexter house. Her testimony is strong and is substantially as follows: Mr Spivey was taken sick on Thursday and died on Monday pr. Michael was called In and said it was bowel trouble Later on pr, Hill took the case, and on Monday morning early she was sent by Spivey after some medicine At two different times during the day Mrs Spivey sent her out after medicine, and each time the druggist from whom she purchased it told her it was morphine. She got 10 cents worth each time. Soon after she returned with the last package of medi- cine Dr. Hill was called in, and soon after Spivey died
 The druggists from whom the nor phine was purchased were called to the stand and testified as to the correctness of the girls story. Druggist Besson pro- duced an order in Mrs. Spivey's hand writing, which the girl identified, for 10 cents worth of morphine.
 The investigation was then adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow by reason of the absence of Dr. Hill, one of the attending

FRANK IS BADLY INJURED

Montgomery, July 15.-(Special.)- )-The Montgomery team returned from their circuit trip this morning and met the Memphis aggregation on the diamond this afternoon, winning the game easily Bailey was in good trim and pitched an excellent game, while Burroughs was wild unusually wild, and gave a large number of men bases on balls.
 A splendid crowd witnessed the game the grand stand being crowded with la- dies. The game was listless and un- interesting, it being the warmest day Montgomery has yet experienced this summer and entirely too hot for men to play ball with snap As soon as the mem came from the field they would seek the shade and could hardly be pulled out to take their turn at bat.
 very unfortunate accident occurred during the second inning, which will de- prive the Memphians of their manager and one of their best players during the remainder of the season. Kehoe made a long hit to left and Charlie Frank, who was playing the position, made for it. The ball and Charlie went against the fence with tremendous force, and a protruding piece of plank stuck through the calf of Franks leg. He was car ried from the field in a wagonette, and Dr. s. s. Hill summoned. The wound is serious and will disable him in all prob ability for a month or so. Kehoe scored a home run.
 During the game considerable kicking against the umpiring of Clark was in- dulged in by the players of both sides.
 Ed Pabst, Montgomery's new first baseman from Rockford, Ill.,, played a phenomenal game.

 Montgomery, July 15.--(Special.)- )-"The Birmingham Age-Herald yesterday con- tained special from Montgomery stating at length that Hon. Frank l.. Pettus of Dallas is a candidate for governor. It is reproduced elsewhere. It states that he reached this conclusion after confer ence of two days with his, friends here during the early part of the week. As MT.

Pure Fc0d.


 Butterine is much abused product. As a matter of fact it is pure, sweet, wholesome, and infinitely preferable to ordinary country butter. A special correspondent of this paper recently visited the factory owned and operated by the Armour Packing Co.,, of Kansas City, manufacturers of the widely ad- vertised Silver Churn Butterine. A five story building is perfectly fitted for the scientific preparation of this food product. Everything is spotlessly clean; all appliances are the latest and most improved, and every precaution is taken to secure the production of c an absolutely pure and wholesome food. All processes are under the direction of a foreign chemist who has made the skillful combination of pure sweet fats the study of his life.
 Prof. Charles Chandler, of New York City, says: "The product is palatable and wholesome and l regard it as most valuable article of food"
 Prof J. S. W. Arnold, Medical De- partment, University of New York, says: "A blessing for the poor, and in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatab1e article of food"

Queens County J Jockey Club Opening.

Aqueduct Race Track, July 15.-The Queens County Jockey club opened it's meeting at this place today under the jockey club rules, and if the attendance this afternoon can be used asa criterion the venture will be a success. The grounds were we'll crowded with people when the post call summoned the candi- dates for the first race. Last year the course was only three-quarters of mile in circumference. Additional ground was secured, however, to make it a mile around. The stretch is now fully three furlongs in length and the turns are very sharp, but as the fields will not be heavy here the narrow track and the shary turns will not matter The re- - suits of the races today proved a great setback for the faithful, not one favorite winning. There is to be a change in the dates of both this track and Brighton Those in charge have agreed to he plan and he jockey club has been asked to sanction it. The arrangement is that Brighton will reopen Monday and contin- ue until August 10. Racing will be held here from August 12 to August 22 inclu- sive. The change is made to please the horse owners, who object to driving their horses back and forth every other week. Summaries:
