REPRESENTATIONS to Secretary Lamont on the

we're based on the personal inspection OF NUM-

vice was that artillery troops be ordered TO

Lamont now has before him both the recom-

A POISONED LIVER.
Don't Keep Poison in Your Body
Longer Than You Have To.

If your stomach poisons your liver the
consequences may be serious.
What poiSons arise in your stomach come
from undigested food which has decom-
posed there. They are absorbed by your
blood and go to your liver, where they
paralyZe its functions and make you bilious.
Finally they go into the blood again and
are carried LII over the hody, disordering
your different organs, and perhaps maxim &
you dangerously sick.
This is the origin OF many diseases which
are not alwa US known for what they are.
The poisons OF uDdigested food can only
be got rid OF by the use of a purifying,
Strengthening, digestive tonic, like the
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
A few doses of this W onderful cordial will
soon clear away all undigested, fermenting,
poisonous substances, restore your APP
petite, aid you to digest your food, purify
your liver and blood OF ali dangerous
poisons, and restores you TO perfect health.
1t will cure biliousness, indigestion, nau-
sea, headache, dizziness, mental depression,
weakness, fever, fiatulence, constipation,
oSsofappetite, bad taste in mouth, stomach
ache, anaemia, rheumatism, ETC., where
other medicines win barely give relief.

GREW OUT OF THE MORA CLAIM.
Case of Mrs. Frazier Dismissed by
Justice Cox.

4 suit growing out OF the famous Mora
claim. which reached a final settlement

terday by Judge Cox, sustaining the de-
murrer of James E. Dexter aud Richard
olney to a bill in equity filed by Mrs.
Annie w. Frazer, of this city, and order
ing the dismissal of the case.
Mrs. Frazer instituted her suit Septem-
Der 13, 1895, on the eve of the State De-
partments payment of the Mora claim.
She claimed that 81 900 was due TO her
from Mr.. Dexter and asked that he be re-
strained from collecting it and that Mr..
OIney. as Secretary OF State. be restrained
from paying it. Mr.. Dexter at one tire
received a share OF the asSignme ent in :he
claim from Mr.. Paige, one OF Senor Mora's
attorneys.
The plaintiff In the suit said that Dexter
owed her $647. 10 as q balance due on the
sale of certain Virginia real estate. In
security for this he promised, on forfeiture
of payment, to deliver to her $1,000
worth of his assignment in the Mora claim.
That was at a time when there was much
doubt as TO whether Spain would pay the
claim.
Mrs. Frazer averred that he never paid
the original debt and refused to transfer
his assignment. and she asked for the in
junction that was yesterday refused.

PILING UP THE CHARGES.
Detectives Locate More Forgeries of
j. Ii. Henderson.

Other forgeries from the pen OF James
II. Henderson, colored, are being reviewed
by the detectives. Henderson, as told in
The Times, was arrested on the charge of
forgery two years ago. This case was
compromised. He was arrested on another
charge and judgment was suspended.

sentenced TO Albany peDiteutiary and par
doned by President Cleveland.

Detective Lacy on charge of having
forged the names OF Alexander Windley and
j. II. n. Waring. He was arraigned and
committed in default OF bond. Detective
Lacy yesterday found two additional in
stances OF forgery.
In one OF these. Henderson obtained 500

Bank OF this city, on a forged letter pur-
porting to be from Mr.. Waring. In the
second instance Henderson secured 500
from NJ. V. Smith, broker, on a forged

UPPER BERTH BILL.
Pullman People Playing Game oi
DELAY.

1t is evident that George NJ. Pullman is
sparring for time in order to secure delay
on the Corliss bill, which reduces the price
Of upper berths and places the sleeping car
lines under the interstate commerce law.
A hearing on the Corliss bill was set for
the 18th of this month, but Mr.. William A
Runuells, the chief counsel of the Pullman
company, wrote the House Interstate Com
merce Committee stating that he was over
whelmed with business in Chicago, and ask
ing. for postponement until the 14th cf
April. The accommodating committeeman
granted the request.
Mr.. Runnells is in Washington this very
day and does not appear to be over-busy.
The Pullman people, it is believed, are play
ing a game to defer action on the bill
until the short session of Congress, when
they hope to beat it.
