POISON PRESCRIBED.
Bichloride of Mercury Found in
Rice's Apartments-App At
ter an Operation.

ter an Operation.
New York, Nov. 3.-What may prove
to be an important clue to the mystery
surrounding the death Of William NJ
Rice is the fact that among the medi-
cines in Rice's apartments was bichlor-
ide of mercury, which had been pre-
scribed by DR.. w. L. Bull for external
application. Mr.. Osborne said this had a
bearing on the case, as Jones had con-
fessed that Patrick gave Rice grayish
tablets. The tablets prescribed by DR.
Bull was of grayish color. DR.. Bull
said: Il was called in by Rice's ply
stefan. DIR. J. Milton Abbott, to perform
a slight operation ON Rice's face" Miss
r. J. Evans, DR.. Bulls nurse, who had
charge of the operation, said: Il did use
hichloride of mercury, but / took away
every tablet not used. l diluted the tab
lets and bathed Mr.. Rice's face with the
salution."
Charles F. Jones tossed in a torment
of agony and despair on his cot in the
prison ward of Bellevue hospital this af-
ternoon. Frederick B. House called to
see him, but after his departure, Jones'
nervousness increased. His danger is
mental, not physical" said DR.. Frank
Christian of the hospital staff. He
might live through this and become in
sane"

New York, Nov. 3.-Further investiga-
tions by the district attorneys office into
the operations of the gang which is
charged with having swindled merchants
in this city out Of thousands of dollars
lead to the belief that women were en-
ployed in making large amount of the
purchases.
One Of these confederates, handsome,
stylishly- gOwned woman, went to a big
department store and selected expensive
goods which were never paid for. Other
women of prepossessing appearance are
believed to have superintended the pur-
chases.
1t is estimated that the gang succeeded
in robbing at least fifty large firms in
this city alone upon Misrepresentation
Here are some of the victims: Cluett,
Peabody 4 Co., shirts, ETC., $650.23;
Fashion Manufacturing company, 1851;
A. M. McPhail Piano company, $11OO;

WILL PAY BONI'S DEBTS.
Gou1ds of New York Said to be Ready

New York, Nov. 3.-On the authority
of an intimate friend of the late jaw
Could" the World announces that the
debts of Count Boni de Castellane will
be paid in full by the Goulds at once.
1.-THE scandal attending the claims
amounting to 100000 against the
spendthrift husband of Countess Anna
is to be stopped" the paper adds. "a
lump sum probably will be contributed
by George, Helen, Howard, Edwin and
Frank Gould to wipe out these debts. as
they, consider, the honor of the Gould
family is involved.
incidentally it was elected that the
Gould millions have nearly doubled since
Jay Gould's death, and Annals share is
nearly $1S.00O,000, and her income near
err to $1,000,000 than to 100000, as
heretofore stated. The total value of the

Irl1utsk Has No City Debt.

1t is the boast of Irkutsk that it has no
municipal debt and even has a consider
able fund in hand to meet some of the
necessary expenses. AS an offset. how
ever, it is to be noted that it has no pave.
ments. no waterworks. no adequate sew
ers, no street cars and 10 public electric
lights Another thing which strikes the
American with surprise in this land of,
forests is the absence of sawmills. We
have seen only one in Siberia, and that
was owned by an American. This is
partly accounted for by the fact that the
pines of the legion belong to a species
that is hard and coarse-grained and does
not make good lumber.-New York POST

odd Features of French Elections,

There are some curious features con-
nected with French Parliamentary cleo
tons. For instance, no wall literature
issued by a candidate or his friends may
be printed on white paper-white being
the color reserved for official announce
ments. In the days of the empire, when
official candidates were known in the
land, the addresses of the governments
nominees were printed ON white paper,
and this, no doubt, had due weight with
the more ignorant voters. Again, any
elector whose name is mentioned in a
newspaper can, if he feel himself ag
grieved call upon the editor to publish
reply. This, however is not confined to
elections, but is right enjoyed by
French citizens under the law of the
cOuntrY=LondOn Daily Mail !
