Dr. Geo. P. Spencer of Unity, N.H., writes: “I consider Ayers Pills far ‘Superior a@.s cathartic to any that are farnished by the pharmacopeia.” “After suffering for eight years from chilis and fever, with only occasional intervals of rest, I was cured by Ayer's Pills alone. My case hed resisted ‘treatment with the usual doctors’ prescriptions and & rest number of proprietary medicines; but under the influence of Ayer's Pils the chills and fever consed, my itverand stomach were restored to healthy ac- tion and my former wood health returned.

Butterfield, the American Company Pro- moter, Acquitted of Libel. Loxpox, Dec. 17.—The jury in the libel enit brought by Harry Marks against G. W. Butter- field, today returned a verdict in favor of the defendant. Marks is proprietor of the Financial News ‘and a member of the London county council. Butterfield is an American company promoter. The action grew out of charges contained in pamphlet issued by Butterfield, in which he accused Marks of stealing jewelry and money from Mrs. Koppell, widow of the proprietor of cish Times, Butterfield pleaded in defense that the charges were true. The trial has occupied several daysand a number of witneeses were roduced on both sides. The most interesting aeons was that given by Mrs. Coppell, who ified as to the intimate relations that had existed between herself and Marks, and the means he had adopted to get posession of her property. Marks testified that. the charges inst him were false and that his relations with Mrs. Koppell, both social and financial, were legitimate. DETERMINED TO FIGHT. Parnell Will Not Be Deterred Even by Blindness. Duni¢p's Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star.¥ Kinkexy, Dec. 17.—Mr. Parnell's eyes were very seriously injured at Castle Comer yester- day, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to appear on the hustings for some time to come. He was, however, this morning some better, and is determined to fight on, even though blind. His sufferings are intense. ‘The attack with lime bage, in’which Mr, Parnell waa worsted, was led by Michael Davitt and the riests. ‘This resort to violence has greatly em- Bftterea the feelings on both sider’and if the context ends without something very like murder being committed it will be surprising. ecg IRELAND'S REAL FRIEND.

SEVERE CROSS-EXAMIXATION OF THE PHYSICIANS WHO ATTENDED THE ALLEGED victm oF PRANK WARD'S SHOTS—DID ADLER DIE OF SEPTICARMIA?—THE DOCTORS BAY 0. One effect of the blow this morning was to bring about a very light attendance at the Criminal Court room, where the Ward trial was resumed a little after 10 o'clock. Mr. Clagett called as his first witness Joseph Bran- son, @ colored man employed in the Marble Saloon. Branson said he was not in the saloon when the shooting occurred. He was leaving the saloon on his way home and crossing 9th street when the shooting took place. When he left Ward, Newmyer, Ginnity, Adler and Buckingham were in the saloon. When Ward came into the saloon he greeted New- myer and Ginnity with “Good evening.” When he left Ward and Ne were ing billinrds and Adler was sitting on the al ing watching the game. When crossing street just in front of the saloon some said that some one was shot in the Marble and witness turned back. Ashe was about to enter the saloon he met two men bringing Ward out. He went down and eaw A teen Chive as arr Cisity baa for Mi main as Mr. Ginni ir. Adler's father. imi DR. M'BLAIR'S TESTIMONY. Dr. John H. MeBlair, the next witness, tes- tified that be was called to the Marble Saloon to attend Adler. When he got there he found Adler lying shot. So far as witness could see Adler ‘was perfectly paralyzed, but his brain was clear. The injury was in the spinal column. The fourth cervical vertebra was fractured. Mr. Clagett stood up and Dr. McBlair pointed out on Mr. Clagett’s neck where the wound was. He put his finger on the back of Mr. Clagett’s neck a little to the left of the center. He said he attended Adler until_he died, Octo- ber 8, 1859. ‘The cause of death was the frac- ture of the spinal column by & pistol ball, fractured bone being driven in upon the spinal cor A SEVERE CROSS-EXAMIXATION. Mr. Coleman condncted Dr. McBlair's cross- examination. He stood up todo it and made it quite severe. - “How many casos of gunshot wounds of the spinal cord,” he asked, ““did you ever treat, ‘tor: “This, I think, was the third,” said the wit- ness. These cases, the witness said, were one of a colored man who was shot. The other case, he said, was the fracture of the spine caused by a fall. When witness first saw Adler, in the Marble Saloon, he was lying flat on his back, arms extended at his side and his legs straight ont. There were persons in the room at ‘the time, but the witness did not notice who they were. ‘The witness first saw that the patient's clothes were loosened about his neck. ‘Then he made an examination of the patient. First he felt his pulse, then noticed about his respiration. It was about an hour after the witness’ arrival before Adler was removed to his home, 606 H street. Wit- ness accompanied him there and assisted others in removing his clothing and putting him to bed. The witness did not give any preserij tion: ‘There were then other physicians in attendance. He did not remember any but Dr. prescript “I do not remember that any did,” said the witness. WHAT DID THE DocTORS Do? “What did any physician do about the case?” asked Mr. Coleman. “All that was done,” said the witness, “was to make the patient as comfortable as possible.” The witness said Dr. Bayne and himself had charge of the patient up to the time of his death, ‘The withess said’ Adler did not move his arms or legs after the shooting. Witness said he did not give out or authorize any bul- letin to the newspapers about Adler's condi- tion. He did not remember reading them in the newspapers. He read the city papers, but had no recollection of reading such bulletins. ‘The witness saw the injured spinal cord at the autopsy. It was contused and lncerated. He hadexamined it with hiseves. Dr. Bayne and Dr. Schaeffer, and he thought Dr. Lincoln, were there. ; ‘THE CONDITION OF THE SPINAL CORD. “Don’t you know, asa matter of fact, doc- tor,” said Mr. Coleman, ‘that since that autopsy was performed that spinal cord has been subjected to the’ most powerful micro- scopical examination and it has been discov- ered that it hnd suffered no injury?" “No, sir; I do not,” said the witness. “You haven't heard of that?” ‘No, sir,” said the witness. r was in attend- The witness said Dr. W: ance on the case up Be Adler's death as nurse. .

When asked what the doctors did then, the witness said they decided what it was best’ to do about the nourishment of the prisoner. He did not remember that he did more than tell how the patient should be fed and to make him as comfi ible. He directed that he be given liquid tood. | He examined his pulse and reepi- ration. He did not know that Dr. Bayne then prescribed for him. He next saw Adler that evening. The condition of the patient then was the same and the same treatment was con- tinued. “That is to say,” Mr. Coleman remarked, “you continued to give him liquid food?” "Yee, sir.” A CHANGE IN TREATMENT. “That was on the evening of the 19th,” said Mr. Coleman. “You made no change in the treatment. Was any change made in the treat- “Was it done at all?” “It was,” suid the witness. “What was the change?” asked Mr. Coleman. “The change was," suid the doctor, “to give him tonic and stimulus. “What was the tonic?" asked Mr. Coleman. “Tron, quinine and strychnine.” “What was the stimulus?” “Electricity,” said the wi “Somewhere,” said the witness, the 18th of June and the 18th of July.” “You wouldn’t like to say that you left the patient lie there a month without prescribing anything but liquid food?” asked Mr. Coleman. ‘DR.

He said he had prac- ticed twenty-two years, was a surgeon of Prov dence Hospital andprofessor of clinical eurgery of Georgetown Medical College. He suid he was called to attend Adler at his father's house between 11 and 12 o'clock on the night of June 18, 1889. Adler was paralyzed from head to foot. He was suffering from a gunshot wound | in the back of the neck. The witness attended ‘him up to the time of his death and was present at the autopsy. Adler, he said,died from exhaustion, the result of the wound received in the back of the neck. The witness produced a section of vertebra, and with this explained that the bullet frac- tured the spinous process of the fourth cervical verbetra, and passing around lodged in front of the body of the vertebra and was there found. BUS CRORS-EXAMINATION. On cross-examination by Mr. Coleman the witness said he did not remember having be- fore seen a gunshot wound of the «pine like | this. He had come into contact with many | unshot wounds in his practice in the hospital. fe said when he was called he examined the wound and inserted a blunt-pointed silver probe into the wound to the depth of about an | inch. At that depth he could tell by the senna- | tion that he struck the muscular tinue. The ball was in such a poxition as was afterward shown to have made it impossible to reach it with a probe. ‘The witness said Drs. McWilliams and Beb- rend were present that night, but they retired. ‘They did not retire on account of any differ- ence of opinion as to the treatment of the case. WHAT WAS DONE TO THE PATIENT. The witness was questioned closely then, as Dr.McBlair had been, as to exactly what he had done to the patient. He did not write a pre- scription that night. The next day he pre- seribed a solution of bichloride of mercury to be applied to the wound. On the first night, he believea, they applied carbolie acid or bi- chloride. The next day they applied the dress ing known as the antiseptic dressing, and also introduced a drainage tube into the wound, ‘The doctor explained other things done in the way of healing the wound and making the pa- tient comfortable. They had given him little medicine. He was directed to have a nourish- ing liquid diet. That was considered more es- sential than medicine. During the first week he was given bromide of potassium to quiet nervous symptoms. He was given morphia when there were indications of "Enis was about ten days betore the operation, The administering of m continued offand on up to the time hia was Adler's DR. AGNEW'S CONSULTATION. Dr. Agnew was called here to consult about the 28th of Junc. At the time of the operation the wound wasentirely healed. To the best of witness’ recollection they begun the morphia with a fourth of grain and this dose was re- peated every four or five hours until the xymj toms of tetanus or lock-jaw were relieved. Afterward it was found necessary to increase the dose up to half a grain in any effect. Sometimes it was found necessury to give itat more frequent intervals. At night or at other times when the symptoms seemed to demand it, Dr. Wagner would administer it and in that he bad the sanction of the other physicians. This was continued, he thought, up to the time of the death. Dr. Wagner may have given as much as grain. THE LOCATION OF THE WOUXD. - Bayne, when asked to describe the loca- tion of the wound, put his finger on the back of his own neck and said the ball struck im- mediately in the median line, right in the center of the spinal column. It ‘aid not pass through the spinal cord. The ball struck the spinous process and was deflected around, as at Hurdle’s saloon at the time of the altercation described by Mamie Carroll, was called to the stand. He said that Ward was in the saloon when Adler and Mamie Carroll entered. A dis- pete arose between the two men, each i the owed him $10.’ The ‘was as good as Ward's, and I i I tee H ul iven later elixir | off of iron, quinine and strychnine, and later on | SENATORS SANDERS, PADDOCK AND PIERCE Al#0 SPEAK OF THE NOTED CHIEF AND THEIR KNOWLA DOE OF KIM—HE FOUGHT BY PROXY AxD WAS ‘MOSTLY A NEWSPAPER RED MAN. ‘The death of Sitting Bull caused no percept- bie grief at the Capitol.
