The cause of the sulclolc was somewhat ! r : peculiar. The family , which consisted of the : I husband , wife and .rear.ohl daughter , : moved into the house three days ngo. The 'I daughter , Christina , fell sick ! and Dr. Hasen- berg was called to attend her.

Wachtler discovered the mistake after ; . tWo doses had been given the child and told . ' her husband auout it . lIe appeared to he much worrIed over It and said that the girl . , would surely die , and 1 that Jf she did he would , lie ( too. Ito went to the physician , who told him that nothing serious would r6sult , but Wachtler sllll persisted , In the belief that ' ! tine child < 1 would 1 die anti ' expressed the fear that the police would 1 arrest him for murder. lIe returned home and stayed at the bedside - e side of the sick girl until midnight , when he .

Wachtler had been somewhat unbalanced mentally during the last two years fie had been out of work for some time , and this hall made him very l1esllonl1ent.

The loading was done by the natives - Lives , who ueed baskets suspended on a pole and carried by two men. AmerIcan englnears : were slow to believe \ that men could do this , but when told ] bow they did It they believe the stntement. Ho referred to happenings ! around CaIro early In the present century , about eighty years ago. Three little girls sat at their fatber's feet In England one day , when he read to them the story about finding the rosella stone . Before then the language or Egypt waa not known ; nobody could read it . It looked like hooks , birds and various nnl- mals. The language was written on great monuments and coffin lids , the coffins contain- tog their mummies. The rosetta stone was the color of ordinary slate and was covered with Inscriptions , written In three languages It attracted a great deal of attemition Two of the Inscriptions were alike and could he read It was supposed that the third Ian- guage was time same , though they found hieroglyphics - glyphics repeated , Dr , Marshall spoke of the massacre of Armenians - menians In 1860 hy the Molmammedans There were 11,000 men killed , 20,000 children left orphaned and 4,000 women widowed. The work of the British Syrian MissIon _ was lunched upon and then that of Mrs \ Henry Smith , who took up the work of her sister lit Beirut. lie described climbing the pyrllmhls , where blocks of stone were plied upon blocks of stone , each so high that one could : \ not get his knees upon the top. .

Edger- ten does not sympathize with litigants who I appear before him In their tribulations It Is not because he has not had a largo experi- ence himself In their positions. The late grand jury indicted him for embezzlement - bezzlement , and he Is now under bonds to answer lie charge Yesterday the trial of a civil \ suit was begun against ! him before a jury In JIIIIge Hopewell's court. This Is the third trial of the case , which was twice : decided In his favor , but was remanded for I another trIal by the supreme court On December 22 , 1886. Olive 11. helm commenced a replevin suit against John D Thomas In the court of Louis Berka , who was then n Justice of the peace. Edgerton was n constable then. Olive helm flied n bond , which Thomas claims to have been worthless , and Edgerton delivered the goods to her. A change ! of venue was taken In the case from Justice Derlm to Justice Lee lIel- ahoy , who decided In favor of Thomas. By thIs time the goods had disappeared. The victorious defendant afterward found that the bond might just as well have gone with them for all the good It was to him. lIe bethought him then ot the constable , and commenced suIt for $105. In this amount ho Includes limo value of a cooking stove which Edgerton took possession at but which did not belong to the case In any way lie says In his complaint that ( Edgerton converted - verted It to his own use , and refuses to give It up.

The girl lay shivering and suffering , apparentl , without care 01' attention from any one. There was a fire In one room , at the other side of the house , and there father and son were sitting playing ] cards They were eating a little bread and meat , but apparently this was all they had , and the sick girl said she had had nothing to eat since Sunl1ay. The father seemed to be a laborIng man , . and said that he had no money to buy food .1 and hall been out of work all winter. The girl was In n pitiable condition , and It was apparent that cold and lacll of nourishment had much to 110 with her illness Dr. Towne undo her as comfortable as he could , and then reported the facts to Commissioner Sa- ville , who at once ordered her tallen to the Methodist hospital The girl says that the father had applied to the county for aid , hut had been refused .
