ChiOdi Held For EXamina-
tiOn in $500.
HYDROCHL0RIC ACID USED
Prisoner Made Rambling Statement
When Asked TO Plead.
SAID HE WAS DRUNK FOUR DAYS

Francesca Chiodi the Italian who
was arrested Saturday afternoon on
the charge OF having attempted To
poison the family of Pietro Charli last
Thursday night, was arraigned before
Judge Sweetland in the Sixth District
Court this morning. The warrant read
TO him by the court alleged that he had
put hydrochloric acid in the food of
Pietro Charli
Chiodi, who does not appear to be
particularly intelligent, made a ram
bling answer to the charge. by means OF
an interpreter. the substance of which
was that he did not know whether he
had put the poison in the food or not.
as he had been drunk for four days at
the time the affair took place. In view
of this answer. Judge Sweetland record
ed plea of not guilty. and Chiodi was
held in $500 for his appearance for trial
on October Is. In default of bail he
will remain at Cranston.
The facts Of the case as related to the
police are that Charli went home from
his work last Thursday evening and
poured out a cup of coffee while his
wife was putting the rest of the supper
on the table He at once detected
sour taste and found that where the
coffee had boiled over a greenish deposit
had been left on the tin. At the same
time his wife discovered that a dish OF
stewed beans had been spoiled and this
caused Chari TO report to the Fourth
station officers that an attempt had
been made TO poison him and his fam
lily.
An investigation began. which result
ed i'm the arrest of Chiodi. who one
Rossi. bartender declared had told
him that he (ChiodD had placed poison
I'm the food of the Charli family. The
coffee and beans were sent TO State
Assayer Perkins, who made an analysis,
and last night reported to Detective
Parker. who. having up TO that time
detained Chiodi at city hall on suspi
cion. only. sent his prisoner to the Cen
trail station The reason why Chiodi
should have poisoned the food. II he
really did so. is not made very clear.
All that is given out is that he had n
falling out with Mrs. Charli. and that
the husband alleges that Chioli has
beer seen dodging I'm and out of hts
(Charlfs) tenement i'm a most mysteri-
Gus manner OF late.

the first time the United States had
fought with It's regular enemy. The
civil war was war of volunteers,
but this campaign was fought and
won by our regular troops.
II did not notice the fact at first.
but there were only three volunteer
regiments engaged against the
Spaniards. While the highest
credit is to be given them, and they
fought bravely and we'll, there was
the moral support of the regulars
back of it all.
"Our volunteers lacked that uni
ty, cohesion and individual sup
port noticeable in our trained
troops, but at the same time no dis
paragement should be made OF the
volunteer regiments in the cam
paign. What they lacked other
wise they made up for in enthusi-
asm and patriotic spirit, and l de-
sire to command no better army
than the one composed OF volun-
teers under me in the Santiago
campaign.
"The operations of the regulars in
the campaign have proved conclu-
sively their superiority over some
organizations of state militia IN
which the men are partially COM
PEELED to serve by sense of shame,
but they do not show the enthusi-
asm of the volunteers.
"There has been some question
concerning the transportation tacil-
tiles of the army. The facilities
were all there and transportation
equipment provided was all it
should have been, but our difficult
ties were enormous. There was
only one road, and to have built
another would have taken two
years. The nature of the country,
the weather-all these things
helped to disorganize this depart
partment. The use of wagons was
almost impossible.

PATHETIC SCENES
On the Arrival OF the Transport SaI
Marcos at New York.

On the Arrival OF the Transport San
Marcos at New York.
New York, Aug. 28.-The United
States transport San Marcos, Cap
tain Itzen, which sailed from Tam
pa, August 20 and Key West Aug
ust ~, arrived this morning with
two BATTERIES of the first United
States artillery, two companies OF
the Third Texas volunteers and the
general hospital corps and de-
tachment from the corps of engi-
neers. The total number on board
was 52s of which fifteen are officers.
Captain A. H. Merrill, First artil-
lery, is in command.
Nearly all the men are GONZALES
cents from the general army hos
pitfalls at Key West and Tampa.
The men taken off were distributed
as follows: Ten to the New York
hospital, one to Governors Island
and the remainder to Fort Hamilton
and Fort Wadsworth. Very few
of the men were able to walk. The
scene as the men were led or car
ried down the sea ladder and lifted
onto the General Meigs, was pa
thetic in the extreme.
Private Stephen Easton, troop K,
First volunteer cavalry, was the
only man landed at Governors Is
land, as the field hospital on the
island is crowded. His suffering

voice and hearing as the result OF
fever contracted while serving be-
fore Santiago. During the trip to
this city his attempts to end his lite
became so frequent and determined
that it was necessary to have a
guard OF hospital corps men watch
him night and day. He was car
ried over the side of the General
Meigs and taken into the cabin,
where he was guarded until turned
over to the Governors Island Off
Gals. He will be guarded during
the day and at night the hospital
officers will both guard him and
place him in handouts. He
enlisted in the Rough Riders just
before they went to Cuba. He is
of Mexican descent and com es from

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

There is no question whatever
about business in every line improv-
ing in our city. The number of
teams going out and coming into
the city every day is fully equal to
what it was at any time since the
oil field here was opened up. The
prospects for work were never more
promising. The new wells at Bens
Run, in this county is only the
opening wedge of a big new pool.
The Marshal we'll has opened a big
field. The shallow sand develop
ments back of Friendly are only
the foreruuners of better and big
ger wells. The developments over
in the Hebron district are very
fatteripg. Wilson run, only six
miles from our city, is promising
field. Jackson Ridge is showing
for plenty of good small wells. Elk
Fork promises much work yet be-
fore it is finally rounded up. There
is going to be great deal of work
around the Jug. The Woodburn
we'll may prove the opening up OF
a pool of oil around Middiebourne
which has been so long and so per-
sistently drilled for. The Tri-State
Gas company's line being laid from
this county to Steaubenville. Ohio,
is giving steady employment to
many men and teams and more or
less of the money paid out in that
field finds its way to the city. From
all these fields the oil leave for our
city. For Sistersville is composed
of oil men. They all feel at home
here, for here they meet their old
friends and are not strangers as
they are in any other city or town
in the state. The city is again fast
filling up with people. Operators
are coming in from all quar-
tiers seeking territory around the
new wells recently drilled in so
many quarters OF the county. Add
to this the price of oil which is
causing the producers with old wells
to clean them out, shoot them and
increase their production all they
can. All of of this means work and
plenty of it. When men have work
business is good. So without any
fattery or Boosting we think we
can truthfully say the outlook for
all kinds of business was never
brighter in our city than it Is today.
The merchants should wake up,
push their business, try and attract
trade this way and hustle for the
trade.
