The trial of Francesca Chiodi, the all
legged posoner OF the family of Car
mela Charli OF 15G Spruce street. oc-
Cured in the Sixth District Court this
morning before Judge Sweetland. At
the completion OF the testimony he was
adjudged probably guilty and held In
$500 bonds for the action OF the grand
jury.
Mrs. Charli was the first witness
called, and said she told Cn.odi to leave
her home, as sire did not care TO board
him any longer. This was about Oc-
tober /. The man told her that he
would have her life, and on October
she found a pot OF coffee and q pot OF
beans poisoned with what was later
learned to be hydrochioric acid.
Sergt. Mowry testified TO taking the
food from the house and bringing IL 10
Chemist Perkins for analysis.
Detective Merrill gave q description
of the house. and said hallway led
from Chiodfs room to Charlfs Kitchen.
He said he arrested the man On Octo-
Der at the shoddy mill of II. A. Davis.
where Chodi was employed, and whore
the man had access TO the chemicals
used for cleaning wool among which
was a hydrochloric acid preparation.
| Chiodi admitted taking some of this
drug home in small bottle to Kill rats
with. Chioli also told the detective
| that he had been intimate with the
woman, and that since the arrival OF
another man he would have nothing 10
! do with her. He thought that the whole
| affair was plot to down him.
Patrolman Clifford testified that Chi
odi told him, on October A, that he in
tended to do something, but what he
| did not say.
Chemist Perkins described in detail
the poison found in the food, and then
| Chiodi took the stand. He said he knew
nothing of the poisoning, and that the
poison taken home by him was not the
| kind found in the food, for this was or
a heavy black color, while the other
was transparent yellow. He said
| that when he talked with Clifford about
| doing something he meant that he In
| tended to have Charli arrested. He
| called several witnesses, who testinec
| TO his previous character.
Judge Sweetland then announced his
decision, holding the defendant for the
grand jury.

IT'S :" JACK PET IDEA
PROPOSITION TO ORGANIZE
BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Was First Broached While 4. i. c..
Atkinson of Honolulu was Manager
of Michigan--May be Successful.

BASEBALL managers of Michigan, Ill
inois, Wisconsin, Chicago and North
western universities will meet in Chi
cago next month to arrange for a
championship series of games next
spring, says the Detroit Free Press. 1t
may result in the organization of a
Western Collegiate Baseball League.
The scheme was proposed by \. i. C..
Atkinson, of Honolulu, manager of
Michigan last year, and was preached
at the tine of the university confer
ence the day after Thanksgiving.
The question of a league to settle
championships in the middle west has
been a bugaboo for several years now,
ever since the Northwestern Intercol-
legiate Athletic Association went to
pieces because the members, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Northwestern and
Minnesota were too far apart to make
it successful and because of internal
squabbles for which all the members
should bear a share of the blame. Sew
eral times in the past three years
there have been propositions looking
toward the formation of a western
football league: in fact it was quite
seriously proposed no longer ago than
the last fall. There has been II dis
position. however to frown upon this
idea, as it was thought that a football
league of the six or seven universities
of the middle west would make it
necessary for the teams to play too
many games. 1t is only recently that
the talk of a baseball league among
some or all of the universities has
been heard of much.
EN-Manager Jack" Atkinson of
Michigan has this as a sort of pet
idea for some time. and the stand
ing he has acquired for himself in
western athletics makes all his pro-
posals worthy of considerations How
ever, it may be doubted if the way to
such league as is proposed viii DC all
smooth sailing. The western unver-
stiles and none any more than Mich
igan. are pretty well committed to the
policy of being Independent i'm their
arrangement of games. The idea of
having leagues never has hourished
among the larger universities of the
west, and it is noteworthy that the
eastern universities have almost en-
tireiy abandoned the idea the past
few wears. Outside of the New Eng
land league, comprising Dartmouth,
Williams and Amherst. there is almost
no league of prominence among the
colleges of the east. The trouble
with the college leagues has been that
they afforded chances for petty ieal-
ousieS to work themselves out, and
they We're also unsatisfactory to some
colleges each wear. because the worst
end of the schedule was handed out
to them. The policy of independence
in athletics. so far as arrangement OF
games is concerned, will doubtless
have its advocates at the meeting at
Chicago. At the same time the fact
that all the universities invited have
decided to send representatives would
seem to indicate that. in case a league
is formed. all will be in il.

has been issued from Gen. Merritt's
headquarters designating the full
companies of the Eighteenth and
Twenty-third regiments of the United

ond expedition. So far as is known
the troops to go besides these regu-
lars will be the First Pennsylvania,
the First Colorado, the Second Cali
fornia, the four batteries of the United

OF cavalry. 1t is possible that the
Minnesota regiment will also go, but

great blast of trumpets and other

was sprung upon an unsuspecting
public. The company event busted
at Cincinnati the other day and the
pretended haters of plutocracy not
only had not paid their employees for
several weeks past, but actually left
them stranded to get back to the
place from whence they started as
best they might. The object OF the
play was, of course, to win converts
for free silver and reputation, and it
was probably not to beexpected that
the poor employees should be paid, re-

doctrines OF this propaganda. .'The

he proceeded to tap it. The spigot used
was in good working order, but for
some reason unknown to the scientific

it was all right, and pottered around

A grewsome account of the conduct
of the French expedition which has Just
made its way to the Nile is given by one
of it's members in a private letter. says
the Boston Transcript. He says they
impressed all their native porters and
other help by force: in brief. seized and
made slaves of them. Then. if any of
them tried to escape. they shot or
hanged them. When they came upon a
village and found it deserted they set
it afire. whereupon the inhabitants, who
were hiding near by. would come back
and try to extinguish the flames. thus
giving the French an opportunity to
seize some of them to replenish their
slave train. The French would seize
the chief and tie him up until he fur
nished the required number of slaves.
IF they did not succeed in calling any of
the natives within reach by incendiar-
ism or other means they simply looted
the village. At night they kept as
close a watch upon the slaves as pos
sible. "bur they would now and then all
run away together. and it was not easy
to kill the whole lot"
