HARDENING OF THE LIVER.
How a Pittsfieid, Ill, Gentleman
Overcame It.
Condition often Induces Paralysis and
should Have the best OF Treatment.


From the Democrat, Pfttsdeld, III
Mr.. Valentine Smith, a farmer living In
this county, whose post ofllce address Is
Pittsheld, Ill, for the good of humanity In
general, and especially for the benefit OF
any who may be afflicted as he was, wishes
to mako the following statement with rSf-
erence 10 the great benefit he has received
from using DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People:
His statement is as follows: "About q
year ago was living in the Mississippi bot
tom near the river, and had become very
much broken In health, suffering greatly
from distension or hardening OF the lower
part OF the abdomen or bowels, besides be-
Ing troubled with my kidneys and other
complications which rendered my case, as
had supposed, almost hopeless. / had been
in this condition, although, of course, not
as bad as was a year ago, for something
over six years, and had about given up all
hope OF ever being n well man again, when,
by tho many testimonials and advertise
ments / had read with reference to the
wonderful cures perfected by DR.. VIII

duccd 10 give them trial. After taking
two boxes i began 10 feel greatly relieved,
and by the time / had used up five or six
boxes l was completely cured and have
been, comparatively speaking, well man
ever since. During all the time that was

continually and was able TO do but little

deavor Society?"
Yes, sir"
"Do YOU know Miss Fales, Miss Lord

Durrant?'

society Friday EVENING""

"What time did you leave DR.. Vogel's
house that EVENING""

"Where did Durrant leave your party
that night?"
Sat the corner of Twenty-fourth and
Howard streets"
On cross-examination witness said that
Durrant's manner throughout the evening
at DIR. Vogel's was as natural as ever
Miss Miriam Lord of SAG Capp street was
recalled:

her Efetime?"

"Were you in Emmanuel Church Satur-
day morning before Eastern

into the library, and when We went into

there on the floor lay the body
Ibid you stay to examine it?"
"No, sir"
"Did you notify anybody at the time p"
mo, sir; not personally We spoke to
the janitor boy"
Witness in subsequent answers corrob-
grated the preceding witness relative to
Durrant's movements on Friday night,
when the party separated on going home,
etc. Wolfe, Durrant and witness walked
from Twenty fourth and Howard, where
they left the other party, to TWenty-fourth
and Capp streets, where Durrant left Wolfe
and the witness.
On cross-examination she also corrobora-
ted the preceding witness as to Durrant's
natural manner on the Friday night at Dr.
Vogels house.
Attorney Barnes announced that he had
some very important business of a private
nature to attend to IN the afternoon, and
that while he had every confidence in Mr..
Wakeman, he still desired to be present
throughout the entire examination as he
expected to be with the case in the Su-
perior Court, and would, therefore, ask the
court for a continuance until 10 o'clock
Friday morning.
How much longer do you think it will
take the prosecution to get all of the testi-
mony in? asked Judge Conlan.
II think, your Honor, that We can finish
by the noon adjournment tomorrow if you
will grant the continuance until 10 o'clock
in the morning" replied the counsel for
the people.
The defense started to interpose an OBJ
lection, but after General Dickinson and
Eugene Deuprey had consulted few mo-
ments they concluded to let Mr.. Barnes
look after his private affairs witout opposi-
ton from them.
Attorney Barnes handsome round face
was in perihelon with the warm flush of
pleasure which overspread it from mus
tache, to mansard at this evidence OF fra
pathy from his brother "Cokesters.

temples and towers and ferry foundations,
and that Is bright emerald setting.
Mr. Brown cannot be said to be green
by tower site, or mill site or any other
site, said man yesterday who has been
keeping tab on the progress of the work at
the foot of Market street ''In the language
of President Colnon and the contract, Mr..
Brown has not done his work, but he has
the money for not doing it just the same.
1t looked black for Brown when Colnon
set his investigation on foot, and I've seen
him painted blue and red since, but you
can't say that he was green inasmuch as
he got the ducats before they were due
him"
Mr. Brown has evidently come to the
conclusion that something more than sug-
gestions in specifications and the drawing
of plans is due to the Harbor Commission
ers and the public for the 500, 900 he has
drawn down, and while he did not think it
compatible with his dignity to appear in
person on the foundation he sent his rep
resentative in the person of a draughts-
man from his office named Rowen. The
latter spent the better part of yesterday on
top of the piers and supervised the work.
'Mr. Brown says he has had man on
the foundations all the time" said Presi-
dent Colnon, "but if he has nobody con-
nected with the work has been fortunate
enough in making the acquaintance of the
gentleman. l surely have not met him.
Neither has the inspector of the founda-
tions. Mr.. Brown has evidently concluded
that it was part of his contract to super
wise the work and for that reason has put
a man down on the foundation to take his
place"

has been supplying the concrete in the

concrete from one of the walls and will
make test of it at Stanford. The only
part of the work that cannot be got at for
examination is the piling under the piers,
ana whether there are seventy-hye piles
under each pier and are driven the re-
qulred depth into the bay bottom"
Inc following is report OF test made
by Superintendent Noble OF the Pacific
Ko!llng-mills at the request OF Engineer
Holmes which is favorable to the quality
OF the concrete:
ii. C. Holmes Esq.-DEAB SIR: l received
from you two blocks OF concrete marked Nos.

with the following results:
NO. THE elastic limit was 46,530 pounds,
Pressure was maintained until rupture began

pressure TO destruction.
No. 3-The elastic limit was 4S,650 pounds

showed So, 700 pounds. Did not carry the

good and above the average. Yours truly.

Engineer Holmes says in further ex-
PLANTATION of the above test that four sam
pies were taken out at the places indicated
by Soule and Marx, and Nos and 4 were
carried away by the professors while Nos.

Eyes, sir. I was going across the lot
with McElroy when he said, Oh look at
the light in the church. l turned my
head and looking over my shoulder saw
the Pickering of light on the lower floor
of the church"
Witness was not cross-eXamined.
Henry Shook was next recalled to iden-
tifv the picture taken of Minnie Williams
at the vault in Laurel Hill Cemetery.
Deputy Coroner Mccormick was the
next witness. He described the circum-
stances attendant on the discovery of

"Were there any portions of the center

Witness followed this up with descrip-
ton of the strips of cloth taken from the
dead girls mouth, the stick found under
the body, and the examination of the teeth
by DR.. T. A. Vogel.
Nothing new was brought out on the
croSs-examination.
DR.. Thomas A. Vogel, dentist, at 2202
Howard street, was the next witness.

Wakeman.

Yes, sir.

ing strain of eighty-fve tons to the square
foot. This was put in the piers June
q, 1894. The first sample was one-ffth
part cement and the second one-sixth."
Mr.. Holmes states that the Grand Jury
may take samples of concrete from any
part of the piers which are properly set.
The order for cement is given on J. D.
Spreckels & Bros, who deliver it to McNab
81 Smith, the draying firm, by whom the
cement is hauled to the ferry. No mixing
is done at the quarry, according to En-
gineer Holmes, but on the platform at the
ferry, where the work can be viewed and
inspected by the public.

foundations, said yesterday that the al
legged report of the Grand Jury, published
in Yesterdays mornings Chronicle, was a
misstatement all through.
81 don't know whether to be indignant
or amused at that article said Mr.. Gray.
"It was a series of Misrepresentation from
beginning to end. The man who made the
charges about mixing the cement with
brickdust once worked for us, and we dis
charged him for drunkenness. We have
no mixing-room either at the quarry or at
the ferry. The concrete is mixed on a
platform at the foundation and in full
sight of the inspectors and the public"
While Architect Brown is trying to
keep out of the newspapers" and telling
the Harbor Commissioners that he was so
busy he could not supervise his own work
President Colnon's scientific experts are
dipping Systematically down into the
ferry foundations to learn just what was
done when Mr.. Brown, architect, was
elsewhere.
Professors Soule and Marx of Berkeley
and Stanford are making q most thorough
examination of the whole work. From
the piling to the character of the rock
used, from the cement to the concrete,
every item in the construction will be put
to the severest test, and the final report of
the scholarly examinersswill be full and
accurate.
Professors Soule and Marx" said Mr..
Colnon yesterday "have been selected in
view of their high characters and general
fitness, ana from their scientific tests ap-
piled to the work and material the ques-
ton of the durability of the foundations
will be forever settled. They are at liberty
to conduct their examinations as they
may choose, and the Board of Harbor Com
missioners will assist them through every
stage of the survey. The work will be hur-
ried forward as fast as possible, which
will necessarily be retarded because of the
fact that Professors Soule and Marx are
employed five days of the week at their
respective universities, and can only put
their off or leisure time on this duty.
"They have visited the Telegraph Hill
quarry, from which the rock is taken, and
selected specimens for a test as to density.
Portions of the cement and everything
used in the concrete, as well as the man.
