POISON IN HER BODY.
Examination of Body Of the Fourth Wife Of
Zanoli.

New York, Dec. 28.-The Herald
says: Three distinct poisoDs have been
discovered rs the result of the chemi-
cal analysis OF the body OF the fourth
wife of Charles Zanoli, who collected
insurance money on the lives OF at
least five persons. He is suspected of
beng responsible for some of these
deaths, and is now in the Tombs 4wait-
ing the termination of the cests begun
by Professor Wltthaus, the che mical
expert employed by the DISTRICT attor-
ney. The professor has found traces
of arsenic, mercury, and zinc in the
parts of the body of Jeany Suhrmer,
Mrs. Zanoli No. 4, given to him for
analysis. She died, supposedly of ty-
phod fever, last August. Notwith-
standing his discovery, Professor
Witthaus does not feel justified yet in
making report to the district attor-
ney that death was due to poisoning,
for the presence o. arsenic, zinc, and
mercury might be accounted for as the
result of the use of embalming fluid
by the undertaket who prepared the
body for burial. This must be inves-
tigated, and Professor Witthaus will
not complete his analysis for at least
week.
Charles 4. Zanoli, the barber sus-
pected of numbering Jenny Suhrmer,
his fourth wife, aud who obtained in
surance on the lives of a number of
persons was again arraigned in the po-
lice court today. As Professor Witt
haus had not completed his chemical
analysis Of Jenny Suhrmer's body, the
case went over to January s. Assist
ant District Attorney VanWyck stated
that Professor Witthaus had told him
be found three kinds of poison in the
body, but has not yet been able to as
certain whether these poisons were
injected with the embaIming fluid or
administered before death.

Chickamauga.
Atlanta, Dec. 28.-1t is now quite
probable that early IN May the soldiers
of the state will all be ordered to
Chickamauga for five days and that
there will be no encampment at Griffin.
At least these are the plans which
have about been decided upon by the
adjutant general. They may be chang

not probable.
The plan of the state authorities is
to make the encampment this year
more like actual duty than has ever

do in actual field duty. Sham battles

for the instruction of the soldiers.

GOO GOO" CONTEST
KNOCKED SKY-H[GH.
The Aldermen-Elect Provided With
Their Certificates of
Office.
WERE NOT SERVED With NOTICE.
City Attorney Kay Says It's All Right.
Dubberly Would Not Sign-A De.
cisive Step.

The threatened municipal election
contest was given an emphatic set
back yesterday by decisive act on
the part of the alleged contestees,
which was altogether unexpected by
the contestants.
The four gentlemen who were elect
ed aldermen on December IL, Messrs.
W, NJ. Tupper, r. V. Douglass, r. E.
Briesenick and j. B. Abrams yester-
day presented to the suparinten dents
of the election peremptory written de-
mands for the certificates emitting
them to office.
The demand gave, as reason for its
presentation, the statement that they
had been informed that the certificates
were being withheld on account of an
alleged contest. It stated that the
signers had received no notice what
ever of any suoh contest, and that,
therefore, according to law, they did
not consider themselves contestees.
Upon receiving this demand the su-
perintendents referred the case to
City Attorney Kay, who, after look
ing into the law, gave instructions to
the uperintendents to issue the GER
tificares demanded, as, in bis opinion,
the time limit prescribed by law on
contested elections had elapsed.
Therefore Superintendent L. G. Bo-
der and D. w. Krauss signed the GER
tificates for Messrs. Upper, Douglas,
Briesenick and Abrams, and they
were presented to the third member
of the board of managers, Mr.. J. E.
Dubberly for his signature. Mr.. Dub
berly, who represented the "Good
Government club" on the board, de-
clined to sign the certificate for the
present, stating that he wished to
look into the matter further.
The certificates were then delivered
to the aldermen -elect, with the sigma
lures of two of the three superintend-
ents.
Prominent attorneys consulted yes
terday gave opinion, after careful in-
vestigatioD, that these certificate es are

out further question.
The general belief seems to be that
the ambitious 1000 Coos" have slept
over their privileges and allowed the
time to lapse. They notified the su.
perintendents of election within the
specified time but forgot to similarly
notify the elected candidates.
Ordinary Dart, in response to s
question yesterday afternoon, stated
that the contest would not be heart
today, as previously announced.
And so, the aldermen-elec will take
their seats on the appointed day, anC
any further efforts to oust them will
it is believed, have to come through
quo warranto proceedings.

MIR. nuNDIcK ON INTEMPERANCE.
He Makes an Eloquent Argument
Against the Liquor Traffic.

The inclement weather kept down TO
some extent the audience that greeted
Mr.. w. II. Bundick at Leigh-Street Bap-
tst church last night, but those in at
tendance were rewarded by hearing a
most logical Rnd conclusive lecture on
temperance, and how to get rid Of the
saloon.
Dr. A. b. Dunaway. temporary pas
tor Of the church, offered a fervent
prayer, and introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Bundicl1 began by speaking Of the
Importance Of the temperance question,
saying that, as a financial matter we
pay out more money for strong drink
than for church and school expenses.
bread, and meat, I'm round numbers. over
q billion dollars annually. The liquor
business was traced 10 its source IN a
degraded public sentiment, which found
its expression in license laws, and made
the government an active partner in the
saloon business.
Mr.. Bundick then drew the line be-
tween the forces which sustain the liquor
business, and those which make for tenn
perance and righteousness. A death
breeding tendency was compared TO the
saloon, and the assertion was made that
scarcely more men escaped the clutches
of drink than escaped the clutches
Of consumption.
The approach OF the fiend of intemper-
ance was most dramatically compared 10
the stealthy entrance OF a midnight as
sassin into the room Of an unconscious,
sleeping boy. The speaker gave tho
number of those who annually die Of
strong drink as over one hundred thou
sand.
Mr.. Bundick said that the law was the
standard of public morality. and that the
liquor business was, in so far as the law
could make 1t, as just and right as SELL
ing groceries or dry goods. The makers
of license laws have invaded the quiet
precincts Of the home and have calcu-
lated the worth Of our sons honor and
our daughters virtue; they have esti-
mated the depths Of a mothers love. and
put a price on 1t; and that price, be II
little or much, has been paid by the
saloon-keeper, and with the public au-
thority and sanction behind him. he
stands ready to ruin and kill
The speaker closed by urging all to
take some active and effectual means Of
removing the fell-destroyer from our
midst.
Mr.. Bundick will speak tonight at
Broad-Street Methodist church.
