there after that it was by request to do
spatial work. BleDonald had been in their
employ some yeara befcre, bit they knew
he was not the same boy now, as he had
been insane. He was always nervous, but

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. On Friday ho was
more nervone then mud, tied hung about
the office mere than wee hie wend Witneee
also noticed a peculier look in his eye e aud

noon he caned on the Coroner 4%1 Chief ef
Pollee and enamined the besee, bat was
eatistled there was none Lite tiara in the
establishment, and so ree erred to Mr.
Barker. 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. Ring, Poet -office Ini r der, said he
Was now satisfied the paolusgee were mailed
between 5.15 and 8.15 o'cleck on Tuesday
evening, Ootober let.
H. B. Peters, bead clerk in Messrs. 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.

Donald standing with hie mateeff behind

The 'Victim of a Deadly Ai malt Takes the
Low Into Ilia °will/mad&
An Augusta, Ga., despetch of Sunday
says: The second bloody chapter in the
terrible history which began with the
shooting of C. E. McGregor in his own
yard on December lath, 1887, was enacted
upon the streets of Warrenton, Ga., yester-
flay, in the killing of 1 M. W. Cody by
C. E. McGregor. Cody had just ridden in
front the country. McGregor walked up to
him end fired three balls Into him. Cody
died instantly. Cody wag indicted at the
April term of the court with assault with
intent to murder McGregor. Cody: was
under $2500 bonds to appear for trial at
the Cietober terra, but when the court con-
vened Cody 'wee not present, and although
a bench warrant was issued for his =relit,
he could not be fotind. MoGregor said
that he had decided that if the court would
not punish Ccdy for his attempt to assassi-
nate him he would do it himself. Mo.
Gregor is an exenenaber of theLegislature.
Cedy was a promitierit citizen. Intenee
feeling prevails
,
and the citizens fear there
will be further trouble. McGregor is in
custody. A mystery surrounds the
original cause of the trouble, but it is
generally winded there was a woman in
the case.

animal was now pursued by a orowd of
3000, headed by several policemen. He
stopped at Eighth avenue and Twent-tr-
fifth street exhausted. , Twelve policemen
opened fire with uncettain aim from a safe
distance. Three bullets entered the steer's
body, and he moved up a block bleeding
prolueely. The Shote maddened him, and
he twice charged the crowd, knocking down

A Chicago despatch of Sunday +rays
When the American • flag was brought out
by the janitor a the hall, where a Socialist
mass meeting was held here toelay it was
greeted vvith hisses. There were probably
a thousand men and women present. The
red flag was then unfurled and wete
greeted by a burst of applause. Sergiue E.
finny/tab, of New York, spoke. 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.

An electric light lineman named. John

man's body lay limp and motionless over
the masa of wires attached to the cross arm
of the pole. The firemen brought a ladder,
and one went np with a pair of shears to
out the wires. The man wee' foruct&to

Tall Chimneys.
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
