A widow woman named Mary Adamson, had resided on a farm in that neighborhood for several years in company with her two children, one @ boy seven years oid, and the other a girf aged five.

Shot- well, alias Mrs. Roddy, was one of the first to which Assistant District Attorney Horace Rus- sell turned bis attention on his return to tue District Attorney's office. It was thought at the time of her triumphant acquittal atter an indictment for larceny had been found agatast her atthe instance of General P. D. Koddy, her lover, or husband, that the supplementary prosecution for perjury would be abandoned, or that she would at least be admitted to merely nowinal bail. The influence, however, of Gen. Reddy’s counsel, Little Johnny Davenport, was strong enongh to keep the young woman in the Tombs unti) yesterday. Then Mr. Kassell or- dered her discharge on her own recognizance. She at once went to her mother’s home in Hackettstown, N. J. She may retarnon Mon- day next to have a nolle prosequi formally en- tered at the beginning of the August term of the general sessions. When this is done, the remaining subjects of litigation between her and Gen. Roddy will be the divorce suit, her bond for fitty £1,000 first mortgage bonds of the Selma and Gulf railroad, her claims to $30,000 in sbares in the Automatic Ventilator eom- pany, which she assisted in organizing, and a general demand for her matrimonial and pseu- niary rights. It is rumored that in both her defences and her prosecutions she will have the tacit support of Mrs. Roddy No. 1, who will de- cline toturnish proof of alleged former mar- Tiage.—N. ¥. Sun, 3ist. TRANSFUSION OF BLoop a REMEDY POR CoxsUMPTION.—A new remedy for cousump- ‘ion has been found—or at least the doctors think £0 at this moment—in the transfusion of the blood of animals. In France transfusion has always been performed from man to man; but while it has been found easy to get men to give up their blood for money, while enjoying the éclatof an experiment in a crowded am- phitheatre amid the applause of hundreds ot students, good tans are rare in private life. A medica! man was unable to find any one ready to sell his life’s blood to a young lady untiihe made a romantic appeal ond fn the case of an aged man it was quite impossible. But Dr. ©. Hesse, of St. Petersburg, says that homan blood is not absolutely necessary. He has performed the operation of transfasion thirty-one times, In sixteen of his cases detib- rinated blood was employed. ractice gene- rally condemned. In the remaining fifteen cases the blood of sheep was used. There was one death; in three other cases there was no perceptible improvement through- out, and in some cases perfect cures. Dr. Hesse hopes to prove that he can cure pal- monary phthisis in this way. Dr. Gedellices has tried the transfusion of sheep’s blood in two cases. In one there was great improvement, and in the other a complete cure. ————— Waar Carar Caxpigs are MADR OF—An Investigation by the Brooklyn Board of Health.— From recent developments made to the Brook- lyn sanitary authorities it appears that the manufacturers of sweetmeats in that city have fallen into their old bad habits of using poison- ous compounds, several children having re- cently been taken ill suddenly after eating candy. Ata meeting of the Brooklyn board of health yesterday, the following very important resolution in re; to the matter was intro- duced by General Jourdan and adopted: Whereas frequent Leong “pig nine been made by the press aud people that terra alba (which is nothing but plaster of Paris or gypsum), glocuse, lampblack, sulphuric acid, anline, verdigris, Brunswick green, gamboge, smalt, Ultramarine, oil of tarpentine, prassic acid: rotten cheese, fasil o11, chrome yellow and other druge and compounds are largely used in the manufaeture of such candies; and whereas the indiscrimate use of such poisonous drugs and compounds is considered deleterious to health: Resolved, That the sanitary committee, or such officers of this board as they may direct, do thoroughly investigate and report to this board as soon’as possible the mode and material used in the manufacture of ait descriptions of wares and merchandise made and sold by con- fectioners, in order that the children, at least, may be protected from the evil effects of the Gavgerous compounds told under the deacrip- tion of candy.—N. ¥. Herald, InsvBaNce Faavvs in Iaetanp. — Soma art persons in Ireland got up a little conspi- y to cheat the New York insurance com- pavy, but unfortunately for themselves they were found out. Among the accused were two doctors, who certified as to the health of their a, a from general knowledge, without taking the trouble of asking the interested per- sous whether they wanted their lives Iuseredne not. The jury considered that this was crimi- nal neglect, and found them guilty, as well as the egent, who seems to have been the org: izer of the po gg Ba defraud. All three were sent to prison, witn hard labor, the doc. tors for twelve months each and the agent for eighteen.
