5000 70 Miss Cling. and that he was going
10 kill her. and that he had her fash big
money in a restaurant. He also made a
general denial Of having told Blixt he had
secured an assignment Of the life insur-
ance and was going 10 kill her by a run
away. or by throwing her out on some
rocks
Mr.. Erwin went down the line Of the
testimony against Hayward. the latter
cootiy denying IL and some times smiling.
Referring to the cutting of the CT rail.
Hayward said: THAT IS the worst lie
BliNt ever manufactured. I will tell
now II was. / was up stairs and heard
q fearful pounding as IL the house was
coming down. I went down and he was
cutting the iron. 1 said: What in
thunder are you doingg The iron was
TO keep the hard coal from getting through
the CRATE. 1 took the pieces and threw
them into the corner and that's the last
1 saw or heard Of them"
Il VIII now make the offer 1 made
privately to the court the other day,
said Mr.. Erwin. Il offer this watch in
cident to show the motive to another to
commit this crime 1 will not say who.
Your honor knows"
I'VE object" said Mr.. Nyc.
Objection sustained"
Mr.. Erwin then asked Hayward regard
ing the hidden box, the statement that
he had killed two men, the whisky busi-
ness, threats to kill BliXt and wife, and
questioned him about every statement
made by Blixt to all of which Hayward
replied. NO sir; that's not So" or, Il
never said any such thing"
Mr.. Erwin continued: "BliXt testified
that you went to him after he came
out of the sweat box and asked him if
ne was going TO hold out and IL his
(Blixts) wife could not be bought. and
that BliXt replied that his wife knew
nothing"
There is a little foundation in that"
said Hayward when l saw all this bus
mess going on 1 felt there was a plot
to implicate me and i thoroughly believe
if Miss Cling had borrowed the revolver
when she tried to, it would have been
found on the ground beside her ] 1Fve
orders not to allow any one in my rooms
and locked the door. 1 did not know but
what I might come in and find some bloody
clothes there"
He denied offering Adry 500 to go and
kill a stranger. A reference to the burn
ing of the barn caused the defendant to
say: 81 know where that came from, a"
looking straight at Adry. "There is a
fortune in this court room now in fees"
The trouble between him and Adry was
that the latter was jealous. The main
factor was the hold up last April. Harry
found his brother had his watch and ac-
cused him of committing the robbery.
Adry confessed and admitted he had no
conscience Mr.. Erwin wished to show
lack of conscience in Adry through the
witness; but Judge Smith ruled it out just
before the noon recess was taken.

The President Issues a Proclama-
ton of POstpOnement.
Washington, Feb. %. The President
has issued a proclamation postponing the
effect of the new rules of the road at
sea until some future day, in accordance
with the act of congress approved on
Saturday In the proclamation it is
stated that this action is taken at the
request of Great Britain.
In the Pacific coast pilot chart issued
to-day by thes naval photographer the
following notice is conspicuously printed:
owing to a request from the British
government an effort has been made to
defer the date of putting into effect the
new rules of the road, which had been
fixed for March !, 1895. At the time this
pilot chart goes to press, a bill for ac-
complshing this purpose has passed both
houses of congress. 1t is highly probable
that the date will be deferred and mari
ners are cautioned to consult the daily
press for further particulars"

An Unsnspected Cause OF Suffering.

A scientist gives an account OF man
who was admitted to hospital with Il
severe and obstinate case of inflam-
nation of the eyes, face and hands.
Ordinary applications gave no relief.
and thorough microscopic examine
tion of the affected part was resorted
to. This proved the existence OF thou
sands Of tiny hairs, not unlike in ap-
pearance those from the caterpillar.
They had entered the skin and pro-
duced this violent irritation. The
plants which the man had been work
ing with we're examined, and it was
found that variety of the primrose
was the offender. The downy. looking
hairs ON the leaves were sufficiently
rigid to prick through the skin, ard
each one was charged with poison
after the fashion of the fangs of
snake. The doctor extracted this poi
son, which he used as subcutaneous
injection in the cases of several
patients. He claims excellent results
from this method of treating various
obstinate skin diseases. In the same
connection it may be stated that ex-
perimepts in the treatment of cancer
have been tried with satisfactory re-
suits. An animal was inoculated With
cancerous material, then after suita-
BILE period, the serum OF the blood was
collected and two cancer patients were
innoculated with it. In both cases
there was an almost immediate and
positive improvement. Sufficient time
has not,elapsed fully to test this dis
covery, but it certainly has great pos
sibilities, as even though patients are
only temporarily benefited, there is
encouragement enough TO perseyere
until the longed-for ultimatun is
reached. New York Ledger.
