A Ust TboTBday Digbt's Bt.Joho, N.B., dUapatch taye : YcBterday'a special de- aipatcb to the Emj/irt told of the terribly â- ndden death o( Mra. MoRae, wife ol the Miinnnt Fretibyterian clergyman in this otty. Eveiiia whioh have aiuoe come to Ught exuito humble laspioion, pointinK to m fool and moot cowaroly marder. The CaoM, as asoeriaimd op to tbiB time, are tlMwr : Yeaterday nioruiug the mail carrier dalivired at tbu buuiia a amall, uemtly apped parcel addreaeed to Kev. Dr. Mo- Tbu doctor wan absent at Pioton, Mia. y.ullae u[jeut.d the parcel, which dtained a few gum drops and other dy. It was alier eating a few of these khat ahe was sei/.ed with oonvoleioiiB. Dr. Christie, who Uvea directly aoroes the â- treet, was called at once. Bbe bad two â- pasma after that, and waa dead in two minatea. The rigidity of the muaoles and •odden contraction so impressed the doctor that wbuo a little later he met the family physiuiau he told bim that he would call it a oaae of strychniue puibuning if the circnm- â- tanoea could possibly admit of it. The Mher pbysiuian went borne, when shortly aftorward he was vuited by young McRae, who bad discovered tbu candy and brought with him what remained. The parcel was immediately placed in the bauds of the Oovernment analyst, who found one piece ootrered with atr}cbuine crystals. Dra. Ohristie and McLaren notified the coroner, who at once ordered a post mor- %etD. The body was examined ao- fiordingly and portions of the stomach •nd otber organs prtserved for analysis. The inquuat bus bieu t\ ijuarned until Mon- day. McuiiwhiloSuhoitorGunerul Pugaley ia making inquiry into the cuae. On the aMme morning when the parcel waa de- livered to Mra. McUae, one of the same character was received from the postman •a the hoQse of Thomas Deiustadt, a Ifethodittt olert^yman of this city. Mra. Deinstadt, opened the parcel, her boaband baiog in bed. Uer little girl, seeing the oontenta, followed her about the bouse bagging for a taste, but her mother, feeling aome suapioiaii which she is not yet able to •ooonnt tor, refused to give her any. The aoapicions seem to have been shared by her Jiasband, who took the package to the auialyist who still baa it, but declines to e've any information. Mr. Deinatadt aaya • noticed an iDoisiuuiaoueof tbeoandies. It «ooarred to him that some person, annoyed •t his plain speaking, may have taken a ianoy to give bun a dose of physic, or some â- Doh thing. Ue had no thought of murder. A third parcel of the same character, ad- dreoaed in the same hand, waa delivered to SLav. Mr. Desoyres, of Bt. John Episcopal Ohoroh. This clergyman had no suspi- oiooa. He opened the package, and noting oootenta, concluded to lay it by for some children who were about the house. Uow- •ver, he bit one piece in two and found it eaoeasivily bitter, <juickly apitling it out. and Buppusiug it mitibt be ijuassia he took the oonfeciionery to Dr. Uardiog, who lived near. The doctor at once pronounced the drug to be str)ohnine and handed it into the analyst Hist, who says there waa anoagh poison in the one drop to kill a man at once. No explanation of the oaoae of the plot can be made. The three clergy- man are in no way aasociated with each atber and have given no common offence to any olaaa of people. ^ A HaPfV MKK.

Unarmed Whites Bhot Down by In- furiated Be<aoe8. A Baltimore deapatch saya : The par- ticnlara of the riot at Navasia, Beptember 14tb, have been reoeived by tbu Navaaea i'hoaphato Co. from Acting-Superintend- ent D. C. Bmith. On tbe morning of tbe 14th the negroea rose in inaurreotion and killed foar ofhoera, Thomaa A. I;'oster, Joseph Falea, James Mabun, and William T. Bbea. The motive of the negroes is an- koown, and no warning or intimation of such a thing was given. Mr. Boby was first aaaaolted in the digginga and hit on the head with clnba until left for dead. Ue was found in a rock bole under a lot of boards, bu waa removed to tbu hooae, and took part in the battle wiili tbe blacks after having thirty stitches taken in hia analp. He ia recovering. At noon the men con- gregated in front of the Superintendent's house and refused to work. When Mr. Jones, by direction of AHiistant Boperin- tendent Smith, attempted to arreat one of the riugluadera and take a pistol from him which bad been taken from Mr. Koby, be waa knooked dowo, and in a few seconds a bowling mob aorrounded him. Ue managed to get to tbe house where the other officers had sought shelter, through volleys of rocks and other miasilea. The whitea took refuge in the upper story of the Buperintendent'a bouse and openea fire on the mob, wbich threw atones inio the boose from every direction and shot at any one in sight. The battle lasted three hoars,witb an occasional negro wounded, when tbe whites were startled by the explosion of a dynamite bomb which bad been thrown on the lower porch. This waa soon followed by another, until there was a continual roar of dynamite. The nCfsroea were ebeltered behind cara, trees, tanks and builoinga. Shortly after 4 p.m. the negroes broke into the dynamite maga- zine and got a freah supply of eiplosivea. Knowing that the negroes intended to blow them into eternity the whites left the house and endeavored to reach tbe offi'M^ra' quarters and make another stand, but they had not got twenty feet before tbu negroes attacked them with axes, knives, rocks, razors and clubs, ottering fiendiab jells, each man was soon overtaken and dis armed. Foster was the first to drop bis weapon, a small ritle. He was at once butchered. Falsa waa CHOri'KI) TO PIECES with an axe after he bad enrrendercd his weapon. Bbea when last ueen waa within a few feet of tbe clifTs with a number of negroea in pnrauit, one of whom was firing at bim witli a revolver. His body has not been found. Borne friendly negroes hid the surviving whites in a little building until the excitement had somewhat subsided, and while they were engaged in lootiii;{, robbing and pUlaging thu boildinga. At>out p.m. some negroes went to the building where thu officers were hiding and told them to go up to tbe mesa houae and gel supper, and they would not be harmed. I'bey had not proceeded thirty feet before one uf tbe duvtls, known aa George Skey, placed a revolver within a few inches of Mahco's face and fired and then shot bim through tbe heart. The brig Amoretti was in the harbor, but on account of tbu gale she could not be communicated with until r^uuday evening. Mr. Bmith wrote the captain a note requesting him to run over to Kingston, Jamaica, and ask the Ameri- can Consul to send aid, but he had dis- charged nearly all bis ballast and could not sail until Monday evening.

How the 0»ine of Niatrcraft la riayad by ContlDCDtal Fowcrs. A Bt. Peterabnrg deapatch aaya : There baa been no important increaae recently in the effective force of the Hassian army, nor have any measnr* s been taken to meet an outbreak of bosilitita. The reaourcea of the Oovernment are already anfiiciently strong to provide for the country's aecurity. Far from warlike enterprise being oontem. plated, tbe Germanophiie party at court has renewed its endeavors to bring about a friendly understanding between Germany and Russia, and tha hopeis enterained that the Czar'a coming meeting with Emperor William and Prince Bismarck will lead to a rapprochftnent between the two connlriea. The Russian National party, however, is trying to neotralize these facta through the dominant official influences, and ia also making an enegutic campaign in the Blsvo- phile newspapers. A Berlin despatch says : An nneaey feel- ing seems to prevail in Austrian official circles, it being feared that the Chancellor is about to make a new move by offeiiog to assist in restoring Russian dominance in Bulgaria, aa an inducement to draw the Cz«r from a French alliance. Prince Hia- marck is suspected of playing a double game. It is thought that on the one hand he will threaten the Czar with a movement looking to the firm establishment of Bul- garian independence, while on the other he will offer an entente based on a proposal that Rocnia shall have a freer hand to deal with Bulgaria and intervene in Armenia. It ia certain that if the Czar reoeived Prince Bismarck's proposala coldly, tbe recognition of Prince Ferdinand by the Porte, tbe powera forming tbe triple alli- ance, and England will be tbe immediate consequence. Tbe Bollan has already agreed to recognize Prince Ferdinand, and only awaits thu vieit of Emperor William before issuing a formal proclamation lo that effect. It is reported Emperor Wil- liam will remain two weeks at the Turkish capital. He will bo accompanied by Count Uerbert Bismarck. The length of tbe Emperor's visit is attributed to an inteo. tion to inquire into thx condition of the Tnrkish army and to test the atatement of German officers that the Porte is still able to maintain a atanding army of 400,000. TUK MOKBInON TBlaL. Warren's Bevolv«r produced â€" Wait it Loaded or Not ? A Bhetbrooke deapatch of Thursday says : Thu twice postponed trial of Donald Morrison, tbe famed Megaulic ontlaw, for the murder of Luoioa Warrtnin June, 1888, while the latter waa trying to arreat him on a warrant alleging arson and criminal assault upon the property and person of one Alpbonse DuQuette, who had bought the farm from which Morrison had been evicted (or non-payment of mortgage, began this morning in the Criminal Court for 6t. Francois district, and promieea to last several days. The case is a moat compli[ cated one, and attracts considerable atten- tion from the fact that Morrison defied the whole Province for nearly a year and was only captured by a chance abol from the revolvers of a party ol Montreal police- men who had been sent to arreat him. The caae for the Crown was opened by Mr. Pelanger, who ridiculed the eensa. ticnal stones about tbe case poblisbed by tbe papers, and told the jury to diBaboss their minds of any prejudice they might have entertained. After thu coroner and the medical examiner had given technics! evidence about the inquest and autopsy, Gior).'e W. Mayo described the shooting aa he saw it, and Magistrate Morin, who isxued the warrant on the arson case, de. tailed the circumatanuea aurroondiog ita iaeue. Donald Graham, of Megantic, the princi- pal witneaa for the Crown, then gave a lucid statement regarding the murder, which was very damaging to the prisoner. Upon orosa examination, however, be contra- dicted hia former evidence and got con- diderably rattled, and thii aomewhat lea- aened the force of hia teatimony. A peonliar incident occurred during; the afternoon session. The Crown 0O()nsel made a motion that Warren's revolver, which was picked up at his aide and was produced in Court, be taken out and nn. loaded. Both defeuoe and Court heartily agreed to tbia, and it was ao taken out. Hardly waa it out when it was back again, the High Conatable remarking that all the oharabura were empty. A few momenta before one of the witueaaea had aworn that, when picked up the revolver was loaded, and. when tbe motion to remove it was made, the counsel for the Crown stated most diatinctly that thu revolver waa in the aaroe oondition aa when found. The High Conatablu's report, therefore, oansed no small sensation. A Bherbrooke deapatch of Friday aaya : The Morrison trial is approaching an nuex. peotsdiy early close, counsel for the Crown having this afternoon, afier the examina- tion of fourteen witneaaee, declared the oase closed as far as thoy were concerned. To- morrow the case for the defence will be begun, and then, after the addresaes of oonneel and the Jndge'e charge, the case will be given to the jury. From the evidence submitted by tthe Crown, a pretty strong case has been m out agnlnst the prisoner, but the g drawback on this side is tbe number contradictions on important points which have been made by Crown witnucaea. Thoae examined to-day were : Eostacho Roy, George Uoderiqne, AntoineRov, Nelaon H. liCet and Arthur W. Ooff, of Boaton. The chief incident of to-day'a prooeedinga was the oonfesaion of Leet that ho had oome bore prepared to testify for the defence aa well as for the Crown. His examination by the Crown counsel waa moat severe, and at one time it waa thought the Court would be requested to order hisiirrtBt for perjury. There are ten witnesaea for the defence, and all of them will be rigidly croaa exam- ined by the Crown, ao that the proapeots for concluding to-morrow are not very bright. The opinion of thoae who have beard the evidence ao far aubniitted ii that the verdict will he either manelaughtor or ar(iuittal, oerlainly Dot murder. The delence will try to prove aell-defenoe aa the beat means of getting their man off. TBLBGRAPHIO 8UMMAEY. ithe nfde irl«» Balfour, who ia called '* the best hated man in England," ia atill young.
