from q legal point Of view, his |
evidence has no status whatever,
as he stated at the beginning that
he had no personal knowledge
that Refrigerated beef was issued
to tho soldiers was 'tembalmed," or |
that the canned bsef was unfit for
use. His allegations were based
solely upon letters written him, in
which the opinion that the beef
was embalmed etc., was expressed
by army officers. Tho piece of |
beef that was analysed ty Dr. De-
", who made the first claim that
tho beef was embalmed, was cut
from q qusrter Of beef that had
been chemically treated, but was
never issued 70 the troops, but
was hung up on a transport bound
for Cuba, as an experiment to
tsst the claim made by the man
who furnished it and who wished
to sell his process to the govern
ment. Mr.. DAILY Gays he thought
the piece Of beef was q part of the
regular supply on the transport.
A number Of officers have testified
that the canned beef issued in Gu.
ba and Porto Rico was 80 unpala-
table that they could not cat it,
and that much of it was thrown
aWay bv the men.
The House Judiciary commit
tee has reported to the House the
resolution, agreed upon sc---c
time ago, declaring that the four
members who accepted commits
sions in the srmy forfeited their
seats in Congress. Some think
that the resolution will not be 70
ted upon. but it probably will be,
and be adopted.
The volunteer regiments that
served in the war with Spain will
be allowed to- keep tho flags they
carried and deposit them with
their state authorities instead of
in tho War Department at Wash
ington, a. the law DOW provides,
a. there is no opposition to the
bill that has been reported from
the House Military committee,
granting the volunteers that priv
ilege.
The unfortunate Schley-Sa mp
controversy which has caused the
Senate to hang up tho promotion
of those two officers, may turn out
badly for Schley, should the Son
ate adjourn without acting upon
his nomination to be Rear Adj
miral, as it is claimed that such
failure would put him outside of

STOPPED TWO TRAINS.
Crazy Woman Tries to Com
nit Suicide on Central's
Tracks.

Policeman Britten of the Gregory street
station had a light with a crazy woman
this morning to keep her from commit
ting suicide. She nearly succeeded. In
addition to giving Policeman Britten a
hard tussle she stopped two trains on
the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
She was arrested and proved to be Mrs.
Mary schaffer. thirty-nine years old, OF
Honesdale, Pa. She was well dressed.
She had a pocketbook, but there was
nothing in it but a piece of paper on
which were a few uninte1ligible scrawls.
She was arraigned before Police Justice
Potts in the First Criminal Court and
was committed for ten days to await
examination by the County Physician.
Mrs. Schaffer was at the Central Rail-
road depot, at C~ommunipaw, very early
his morning. Shortly after eight o'clock,
Just as a local train was pulling into the
depot, she ran on to the track directlv
in front of ,-.e engine. The engineer saw
her in time and brought the train to a
~standstill within a few feet of her.
She rayed madly when the train stopped
and declared that she wanted to Kill her-
self. Policeman Britten took her to the
waiting room, where she quieted down
somewhat. She told the policeman that
she had been visiting friends in New York
City. She said she would behave herseir
and take the next train for her home.
Britten let her remain in the depot.
When he was not watching her she
Jumped up and before anyone could stop
her she rushed out on the platform and
threw herself in front of a moving tram.
Again the engineer stopped the train.
She would probably have persisted,
however. had not Britten rushed after
her and dragged her from the track just
as the engine was within an ace OF
knocking her down. The train stopped
a few feet beyond where she had been.
Mrs. Schaffer, in her rawlings, talked OIL
having been robbed of SH,0Vo. Sne also
talked of a man who had killed her sis

Sad Reason Why McCIusky Nearly
Got Frozen.

John McClusky, of No. so Larch avenue,
was found by Policeman Scott yesterday
in an almost comatose stat as the result
Of too much drink and exposure. He was
dragged out of a fast melting snow bank,
where he had fallen. He was unable to
give an account f himself and was locked
up.
In the Second Criminal Court this morn
ing he was still dazed. He pushed his
fingers through his hair and rubbed his
eyes as though trying to recall some in
cident. evidently of an unpleasant char
acter.
Suddenly he started ard though still
dazed exclaimed: Judge, my wife is dead.

and know nothing of what happened to
me since"
Police Justice Nevin sent an officer to
MeClusky's house to investigate his story,
and left instructions to release him if the
facts McClusky stated were true.
The police investigated McClusky's
story and found it true. He was released.

HORSES STRUCK DEAD.
Telegraph Wire
Made Live by Crossing
a Trolley Wire.

Two splendid horses belonging to the
United states Express Company were ac-
cidentally electrocuted near the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western Railroad
bridge over Grove street, last night. They
were in charge of Express Driver A.

street. Hoboken. freight sheds to the
company's express stables at Eighth and
Henderson streets, his city. He had just
passed from under the railroad bridge
and turned aside from the car track to
make room for an oncoming car Wneh
suddenly the horses, sheathed in a burst
of greenish-white light, reared on their
launches and fell back, side by side,
stone dead.
The driver was dumbfounded for a mo-
ment. but recovering hastily jumped from
his seat. Passengers who had witnessed
the startling scene jumped from the rear
platform of the car. The hair OF the
horses was singed and the odor of burned
flesh was perceptible. 1t was thought at
first that the electric current which mad
killed the animals was communicated
through contact of their iron shoes with
the steel rails of the car tracks. Ihe
driver timidly approached the dead AMI
mails. Others were willing to give or
ders, but remained at a safe distance.
He found near by, a broken, hanging
wire. suffering and Kissing and emitting
brilliant flame and sparks.
1t was subsequently discovered that a
telegraph wire had given way under the
weight of the ice and had fallen directly
across the trolley wire of the North Hud-
son County Railway Company, thus be-
coming charged with the heavy current
of electricity which was running through
the trolley wire to move the heavy trafhc

REPUBLICANS STILL FIGHTING.
No Reconciliation Between Lafay-
cite Battery and the Leaders.

All efforts at reconciliation between the
Lafayette Republican Association and the
Lafayette Battery. are practically useless.
Several members of the Battery, discus
sing the controversy which occurred be-
tween the Republican leaders and the
Battery at the Battery's stag a few lays
ago, declared that the speakers had done
little to help bring about a settlement.
1--WE have got along for years without
those people, said one member, and
the association wants no dealings with
any of them. Their style of politics does
not coincide with our views on the sub
ject, consequently, a settlement is out OF
the question"
Many members strongly denounced the
bosses and declared that the association
would never become subject to the dicta-
tion of the gang.

ENGINEERS MARROW ESCAPE
McAvoy Got on Deck Just as Tug
Went Down.

The tug Charles D.. Noneely, owned by
the Hudson Tow Boa Company, sank in
thirty feet of water at the North German
Lloyd pier at the foot of Third street,
Hboken. at midnight last night.
: Engineer Thomas McEvoy had a narrow
escape from drowning. He was asleep in
his bunk and was awakened by the water
reaching his bed. McEvoy had barely
time to get on deck when the boat went
down. He was compelled to swim for
some distance until he could find a place
to climb up along the string pieces to the
pier. The floating lice in the river is be-
lieved to have caused the leak in the tug.
The boat was not visible this forenoon.
