Tho investiga- ton was conducted in socrot, tho Coronor assum- ing that tho ends of justico would bo botter sorved by proventing, ot thls timo, tho publica- tion of tho facts which might bo ollcited. As usual, however, in all such cases, tha offort to enforce secrecy was & failuro, which was not re- markable in this instance, ne thero wore soveral porsons in tho room who wore under no obliga- tions to prosorye seeracy, and who did not share In tho Coronor's fears of tho rosult of publicity. The inquost was hold at the Bocond Procinct Polico-Station, on West Madison streot, and be- gau at nbout Lalf-past 10 o'clock in the forouvon, continuing until nearly 6 p. m. hysicl g 1}”{::‘3“”1! ost-mortem County £ cian, who made & oxnm:'znlluiflnf tuo body of Mrs. 'll:lllrov, testi- fled to having found the hoart, lungs, liver, leen, rnd brain, in o perfoctly boslthy condi- tion, 'No signs of abrasion wore noticed in the outor portions of tho genital orgons, but tho pelvis, utorus, and peritoneum woro groatly in- flamod, conted with pus, and caton away by gan- grene. On each sido of tho uterus was o punc- faro which must have beon produced by probing with an instrument, Tho peritoneum waa in- flamod and conted with pus, No plnconta was found In tho womb, but there was nn sbraded spot whoro tho placenta had beon forcibly xe- moved. Dr. Hourotin had no donbt that DEATH WAS TUE RESULT. of thoso injurles, which wero iuflicted by an in- stramont unquostionably used for tho purpose of producing an abortion, It must have been the work of a physician, or of some q’omnn other than tho docessed, a8 it would have beon aimost Imposgiblo for hor to have praduced the effects noticed in this case, for it would be oxcoedingly lfficult for hor to uso tho instrument.

One writer has vory truthfully said that the farmers “kuow, or think thoy know,” what the agrical- tural dealers’ profits ara.. Woll, as, farmers—for I om one,—wo know that thoy have beon gotting from 25 to 100 per cont, nccording to tho articlo thoy scll. Now, what wo wish to know is this: ‘What docs it cost to manufactuie plows, culti- yators, ete.? Qur sulky-plows cost us from $60 10 §76. For instanco, Briggs & Enoch sell tho Bkinnor aulky-plow nf or sbout $50 apioco by wholesale. Wo are ever rendy and willing to toll what it costs to raiso n bushelof corn, whent, onts, or potntoes, or anything olso that wo raiss to soll; and I eny it is but fair and just that the manufacturcrs should toll us the cost of their implemonts, I daro say thoy won't dara do It, ‘but they should.
