He esedained that be hal been trying co a new pair ot bootee Oar the Monday night followitig McDonald came into the office about 7 ohdoek and aelted it Efainee wee there. Ile offered to maid; with the woes, but, being refused, went out. McDonald was always ratioonl in conversation and very quick and obliging, but (39tnewbat nervone.

Afterwarde he found the comb 'ewe. The broken peckage of stryclezeine wee found at the bottom a the pile, with the wrong end turned out so ea to hide the broken lebel, but it •was peeeibbr the pack- age could be accounted for. This evidence eluded much surprise, but some of a more startling nature is expected to -morrow evening. A St. John, N. B., despatch of Friday says: At the inquest this evening con- aidereble eirounestanteal es ideuce pointing to McDonald as tbe eender ot the boxes of poisoned sandy was adduced. S. J.

Bar- kers' wboleeale store, wird he noticed that McDonald was more nervous than when he worked there some e ears ago, and his memory was defective. He consideredhim more nervous on Friday than usual. On Friday morning last he had a conversation with W. S. Barker, who said it might be some peraon in the etere who had Bent the candy. His suspicions were also aroused because McDonald had been seen in the Acre at Bight, when he had no business there. He found boxes in the score similar to these containing the cantle, Barker's reason for el:tepee-tine McDonald was Le. canes he had been of unsound mind. Gerove had told him he did not like to haee McDenald there at night, and Wasson had seen McDonald in the stoto etanding at the desk the niglit the candy was mailed, but be disappeared in a few minutes. Be was ehown the entry book of the atom and identified McDonald's writing, but would not exprers the opinion ethether the lettere " cit," of the word "city," in one order were the same as the letters of the address on cm a the pack- ages. ' Police Inspector Weatherhead told of the arrest of McDonald and of searching his clothes, finding some browe paper the same as that the boxes were wrapped in, a mem- orandum book, loaded revolver, box of cartridges and some trinkets. He also searched his room en Mrs. Barker's house, but the only thing found was some more of the brown wrapping paper. W. B. Gerove, the Betters' bookkeeper, would not express en opinion whether the entries in the book were in ink of the same color as the. writing -on the packages ef candy. W. S.

Be de.. olared the hanging of the Anarohiste the gravest crime ever perpetrated in America. This and every utterance of the sort was loudly applauded. Shevitch said he was proud of the city in which the execution occurred, becense he felt that one day it teould be the Paris, the city of the revolu- tion, of America. An awful discontent was smouldering in the heartof the laborers, and would mon burst forth in fiery revolution. It was useless and idle to think this revelation yenta be peacefal.

The tallest chimney ha tbe United States though, is claimed by Rearney, near Newark, N. 1, it being 335 feet high, 28 feat in diameter at the base, and contain- ing not loss than 1,697,000 bricken,A.writer in the Boston Globe states, howeter, that enormoas as some of the American smoke sharte are, they are but pigmies beside those in the" Old Country." Soot& and English chimneys, it seems, are femme for their cloud -reaching peculiarities. At the Dobson & Barlow mills, Bolton, England, there is an octagon stack, 369gefeet in height and over 33 feet in diameter at the base. Glasgow, Scotland, is famous for its tall chimneys. Tennant & Co. have one which runs up 455g- feet, with a base of thirty feet, while She great Townshend stack, in the game oity, towers 468 feet into the air from the foundation, with a big base measuring 32: feet in diameter. This is generally epoken of as the tallest chimney in the World, although the men of Paisley declare Shat they have one 500 feet high. In Hob- bs; England, there is an octagon tower rising 881efeee, nith a 'Mee of 30 feet, and weighing 10,000 tons. In Bradford there is a stone shaft rising 300 feet above the ground, being nine feet at the summit. At the shell foundry of 'Woolwich Arsenal there in a chimney 223 feet • above the ground and 16 feet below it, with ,a Portland Atonecap weighing Seventeen Sons. The West Cumberland Iron Works have one 251 feet high, and at the Dendee Linen Works there is one rising 282 feet from the ground. At the Edinburgh gas • works there ,is one rising 341 feet into the air, and Haddersfield has a circular shaft of 821 feet. In France the tallest smokestacks are built of iron, the enosa notable being two at the Crusot works, ore being 197 feet high, and the 'ether 279 feet. Liverpool, too, has one olnud toucher ha the ehape of a chimney at Muspiat's 'worka,406 feet high. Taken by thanselveu, these altitudes do not perhaps, convey any very -striking ideal to the reader, but when placed in 'oompapison with the height ofother retraotnree it will be seers that they rank 'amongtiletie dhighest coatructionie of the world. • • • • , • Prime Dolgouriki, who yesterday lea:, , tempted to hold a ,requiem for Rumble:LEO kiliesi fri tsar, With the object. of Making tle • ceremony a • ThiSsiim demonstration, had ded to Belgrade. •• ' The4 Matta& Bonrgognen Which sr.% nived4es5erday at Newt:York, brought Bill-. det's picture, t‘ Angelus," recently purchased idor the American Art AmodatiOn feritt09,- .000en.:,+ • .• .• M.'
