Nerve Poisoning Through indigestion.
Prof Bouchard, the eminent French
scientist, has shown that the decompo-
sition OF food which often takes place
lin the stomach and intestines in in

these produce effects entirely similar
to those produced by stryehnia, opium,
alcohol, and other poisonous drugs. If
food is retained in the stomach be-
yond the normal time. either because
of its indigestibility, the taking of too
large a quantity of 1t. or crippled

ARE certain to take place.
This fact explains very large

the confusion of thought, and even

Gov. Montague, Of Virginia, in let

the Constitutional Amendment Commit

ginia of the understanding clause" of
that Constitution, which clause, it is
claimed, ia identical with the one in the
pending Maryland amendment, as fol-
lows:
"This provision of our Constitution
was operative between July 10, 1902,
and January /, 1904, during which time
the negro vote was quite largely elimina-
ted. The effects of this elimination
have, Of course, been very beneficial to
our people, aud we look for much great
er advantages as time progresses. The
elimination of this vote was necessary to
insure fair elections in our State and to
bring about a general toning up OF the
ethics of our politics, an end greatly
promoted by our new Constitution"

Cleared of Charge of Murder.

Baltimore, Oct. 1.-THE fact that
Gee OFT got into trouble and was brought
before Judge Dobler April Is, 1898, and
fined $50, has probably cleared him OF
the charge of numbering Don Guon Yiou
in Camden, N. j., the above mention
ed date.
Yesterday afternoon one Ny Poo Lee
came over from Camden to tell the Bal
timore courts how he had seen Gee OFT
and HON Yin Kahn choke and beat Don
Guon Yiou over the head with an iron
bar in the latter's laundry in Camden.
He said he had said nothing about the
matter for seven years as be could not
make himself understood. The accused
Cinnamon then produced local police Of
licers and the court records to show that
Gee OFT was before Judge Dobler on the
date mentioned, which occurrence was
recalled by the Judge himself.
Then Attorney Smith took occasion 10
say that if the Identification was wrong
in the case of OFT, it was probably false
as to HON Yin Kan.
After consultation with the two attor-
neys thejudge stated that be thought the
case WIS one of mistaken identity and

Jury Adjourned.

As result of difficulty the coroner's
inquest on the death of Miss Emma
Smallwood was adjourned at Hyatts vile,
Nd yesterday evening without any ac-
ton. Winfield Scott Hancock being re-
manded TO Jail without bail till tcday,
when the investigation will be resumed.
From start to finish the proceedings
were exciting, a personal encounter be-
tween one of the counsel for the defense
and one of the jury being a side issue,
Mayor Charles A. Wells also taking
part in the combat.
The ENHANCEMENT arose on the ques-
ton as to whether the hearing should
be public or of the star-chamber order,
counsel for Hancock insisting that the
proceedings be public, while States At
torney NJ. Hampton Magruder argued
emphatically for a session behind closed
doors. Both sides were determined, and
neither would yield Coroner Arthur
Carr eventually deciding the dispute in
favor of the States Attorney, but defer
ing to the defense sufficiently to adjourn
the hearing until today.
With this point settled, a request was
made to the coroner TO fix bail for the
prisoner, Mr. Carr at first acceding and
naming 81, 900 as the amount of the
bond, but later receding from this posi-
ton and declining to release Hancock
on any bail whatever, whereupon counsel
for the prisoner ayerred their intention
of refusing to go on at private exami-
nation today and declared that they
would obtain a writ Of ha beas corpus on
which to secure their clients release.
The prisoner. who was last night sec
rectlY removed from the jurisdiction Of
the State of Maryland, was not present
when the coroners jury met today.
The people at HyattsvilIe are demand
ing to know of his whereabouts.
1t is said that the defense has
trump card up its sleeve, and some
sensational developments are looked for
before the jury adjourns today.

New York, Oct. 17.-FOllowing the receipt
of two black hand letters this morning de-
manding money under threats of death, the
grocery store of Giambalyo Brothers, at 10
Stanton street, was dynamited early today.
The explosion blew out the front of the store,
rocked the five story tenement above it so
violently that the Occup ants were hurled from
their beds, shivered every pane Of glass in the
block of tenements between Christie street
and the Bowery and created panic for blocks
around. The explosion was heard In the
Eldridge street station, several blocks away,

wealthy Wyoming babcher. The three

Prince Trubetskoi, the liberal leader,

Honors to Komura.

Baron Komura, the foreign minister,
who acted as chief plenipotentiary for
Japan, arrived in Toxic yesterday. His
reception at the railroad station was not
enthusiastic, those present being princi-
pally government dignitaries. The
streets were strongly guarded by troops,
police and gendarmes.
The Emperor showed exceptional
honor to Komura by dispatching to Yo-
kohama, where he landed from the En-
press of India, Colonel Inouye, His
Majesly's aide-de-camp, who went along
side the steamer in dispatch boat and
brought Komura ashore. Baron KOmura
landed at the imperial Enclosure.
While the Baron was on his way to
Toxic by train Colonel Inouye con-
stanty kept at Komura's side, and on
arrival at Toxic they drove together to
the palace in an imperial carriage
sent from the household stables.
The Emperor Immediately received
Baron Komura, and during the audience,
which lasted over an hour, it is believed
the Baron made full verbal report to
the Emperor of the course of the peace
negotiations, emphasizing President
Roosevelt's efforts in behalf of peace.
At the close of the audience the En-
peror honored the Baron with a written
personal message, highly priced by Japa-
nese statesmen. The message expressed
satisfaction at the fact that peace was
concluded and commended Komura's
able services as shown during the nego-
tiotinnc

IL THE first of q series of anti-electiOn
statements from prominent republicans
10 be sent out by the city party in Phil
adslpbia, Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh, one of
the most conspicuous men that the re-
publicans inlPennsylvania have recently
produced, fayed the "gang" unmerci-
fully, and by inference he also attacked
railroad and other corporations with
equal vehemence for their support of the
gang" leaders. Mr.. MscVeigh was
formerly Attorney General of the United
States. These are his words:
Whoever helps to destroy the only
basis in a republic for respect for law
a pure ballot and honest suffrage-by
buying votes with money or Office or any
other form OF corruption, is traitor to
the free institutions that our fathers
founded, and his proper garb is striped
clothing, and bis proper place is the
penitentiary; and whoever, in view of
the appalling revelations of these days,
continues to furnish political managers
with the means Of such corruption ought
to be clothed in the same garb and &C.
cupy cell in the same prison.
All honest men will indOrse what Mr..
MacVesgh says, but many think he was
very late in saying it. Heis old enough
to know that the very life Of the repub-
lican party is fraud and corruption at
elections and graft in Office.

that at the last hearing Mr.. James NJ.

assets that exceeded the Bank of Eng
land, the Bank of France and of Ger
many. "We have received by ca

Mr. Beck arose and said that no one knew
from whom the cablegrams came and that
they should be disregarded. He said the
committee labored under misappreheRsion;
that he had said the combined capital Of the

of the Mutual. ''The Mutual has no capital,
so any Company exceeds it in that respect"
