twelve poison eaters" began this morn
ing. At breakfast time six Of the twelve
young men who compose the Department
Of Agriculture's diet-experiment table
found beside their plates a big. fat gela-
tine capsule, filled with something that
they know isn't going to do them any
good and that may do them harm. There
is. however. a slight element OF uncer-
tainty in the matter. Five Of the cap
sules contain a supposedly harmful sub
stance-borax or some other meat pre-
servative in general use in the American
market-and the other was filled with
sugar or something equally harmless.
Prof. Wiley, the chemist Of the de-
partment, who is conducting the expert
ments. is a firm believer "a .he influence
Of mind over matter and thinks that II

false pretenses from this county.
Until few weeks ago Mrs. Lynn
was unceasing in her attempts to
have her husband exonerated from
the charges upon which he was
convicted, although she has been ill
for several months. She broke down
under the strain last week and on
the advice of her physician was ia

Mrs. Lynn is under the care of

It was a complete pardon that
Mrs. Lynn sought for her husband
and she continued in her efforts un-

DID IT RAIN EELS?
MAN FINDS THEM IN GUT
TER AFTER SHOWER.

The question of whether it rained
cells during the early part of last
evening is being argued earnestly
to-day between several Market
street business men. One merchant
of unquestionable veracity says that
while he was walking in Eighth
street last evening he saw swimming
down the gutter, several eels.
Struck by the peculiar appearance
of the worms, as he at first thought
them, the man examined them
closely, and says they were perfect
specimens of the Aguilla tenuiros-
iris genus, and he can offer no more
plausible hypothesis for their appear
ance, than they came from the rain
clouds.
Showers of frogs, and other small
animals and insects, have been
noted in various places, but this is
the first time, it is believed, that cells
have been rained down.

BELIEVES MISS BOTKIN
WILL NOT ESCAPE PENALTY.

fur the Introduction of testimony
given at former trial by a witness
who has died pending the action.
If the testimony had been
taken at a preliminary examination
it could be read, but Mrs. Botkin
had no preliminary examination.
She was indicted by the Grand Jury
and sent Immediately before the
Superior Court. Consequently there
is no evidence to supply the link.
Under these circumstances the
authorities hesitate to force the city
to the expense of another trial. The
Supervisors have already doubted
the advisa bility of incuring $12,-
900 cost bill with the chances of
conviction minimized.
So far the remittur has not been
received from the Supreme Court
at Warrington, and until it arrives
there will b HS need for haste. But
if it should not arrive before the
can act, the case of the
prosecution may again be jeopar-
died by thesixty-day limit.

\ COKE HIGH PRICED.
GAS COMPANY HAS BUT
LITTLE ON HAND.

The Wilmington Gas and Electric
Company is getting anxious about
the matter of fuel as we'll az the
owners of other plants about town.
The chief fuel at the gas plant is
coke and the Superintendent stated
last evening that their supply of coal
and coke were both getting short.
1t is really getting to be a serious
matter. The oven coke that we were
paying 70 load for five months
ago is now selling for twice that
amount and we can't get it at that.
The gas company is doing an ex-
ceedingly heavy business in small
stoves this fall and the illuminate
is being more and more installed
for heating and cooking purposes
all over town.
