Dwyer, clairvoyant and medium, cla‘ms that a plot to murder her was frustrated. A small box of choc- olate candies in which were inserted great chunks of bluestone was to have been the agent 6f death. Miss Dwyer very thoughtfully refrained from eating of the candy. Had she swallowed the sweets she might not have lived to tell of the conspiracy. Physicians state that the action of the drug on the human sys- tem is somewhat similar to that which the rolling of the sad sea waves has on & person inclined to become seasick. Miss Dwyer insists ihat she never saw the box of candy until it reached her through the mail and does not want the impres- sion to prevall that she put up the job on_herself for advertising purposes. Business jealousy, she says, is the only motive any one could have for attempting to send her to the other world by the bluestone route. Miss Dwyer rooms at a Market street boarding-house kept by Mrs. Louisa Reed. Last Wednesday morning the postman brought a smail parcel on which was pasted the address of the medium, cut from one of her circ lars. The package was handed to Mi: Dwyer by the landlady. She had not Jopened it when the lgndlady’s daughter, Miss Ella P. Reed, entered the room, re- marking that scme one had been kind enough to send the spiritualist a present of a box of candy. Miss Dwyer shook the package and expressed the belief that it contained samples of ore on which she might exercise ber occult powers in deter- mining the value of the mine from which it had been taken The rock theory was dispelled when the contents proved to be a badly disarranged lot of ordinary chocolate creams. M.ss Dwyer picked u% one to taste it and so dld Miss Reed. They were simultaneous- ly struck with the thought that the con- fectionery might be polsoned. Miss Dwyer recalled the spiritual warning and visions of the Botkin case flitted before the eyes of Miss Reed. The process of tasting the stuff was_discontinued just as their lips touched the chocolate. Brealdni open the candies chunks of rocks of bluish tinge were discovered floating about in the soft cream. ‘It is bluestone,” moaned Miss Dwyer. ‘e hated rival has been folled by me faithful spirit,” and then both of the women donned their best attire and vent to a nearby drug store and passed the pack- age up to a chemist. “Sulphate of cop- per,” ge gaid, and the intended victims of the nauseating dose hastened away to the Chief of Police. Detective McMann was ven the case. “Mlu- Dwyer claims that for several weeks she been wrapper was removed from the box.

She says that she believes when those who threatened her discov- ered that she was not to be intimidated they determined to put her out of the way by means of the poisoned candy. Business rivalry is what she claims to be the motive of the deed. Unfortunately her guiding spirit did not advise her to preserve the letters. The good spirit of Miss Dwyer was guarding her carefully, however, and wurned her at least a_week before the arrival of the bluestoned con- fectionery. According to the story told by ‘the woman yvesterday to a representa- tive of The Call the warning came to her one night just as she was about to retire, “TI felt a hand touch me on the shoulder,” she said, “and distinctly heard the words, ‘Beware, you are in danger.’ Immediate- ly a vision appeared before me. At first it was hazy, but as it became distinct I saw myself as I expect to appear in death, dressed in my funeral shroud.” The chemist who examined the candies says that the bluestone was placed in it in such large chunks that it would have been impossible for a person to have swallowed it without detecting its pres- ence as soon as the sweets were placed in the mouth. He further states that blue- stone acts as an emetic and that only in exceptlonal cases could it produce death. The police take no stock in the theory that an attempt was made to murder the medium. Chicago. Senator Perkins Will Introduce the Neces- sary Measure Early in the Next Session of Congress. HE California Congressional dele- gation, headed by Senator Perkins and Congressmen Kahn and Loud, intend to make a strong fight dur- ing the next session of Congress for the construction of a new build- ing in this city for custom-house purposes.- The present bullding fis worn out and Inadequate for the purpose. The earthquakes of the past forty-five years have riven its walls, so that the cleft plaster and masonry smile mock- ingly at the lack of interest hitherto dis- played at Washington in the home af- fairs of the San Francisco Custom-house. The business has increased within the past few years to dimensions which en- title the business of the port of San Fran- cisco to the front rank among the leading ports of the United States. visited the Custom-house a few months age he remarked that its condition was a disgrace and that he would strongly recommend the erection of a new building of a size and finish in harmony with the importance of San Francisco as a rev- enue producing center. He held many conferences with Col- lector Jackson upon the subject, and the California delegation were appealed to, with the result that early in the comln% session of Congress Senator Perkins wil introduce in the Senate a bill to appro- priate $2,500,000 for the construction and equipment of a new Custom-house in this city. It is intended that the new building shall be of three stories, somewhat after the architectural style of the Custom- house at Chicago now in course of con- struction. The new Custom-house in this city will be an ornament to San cisco and an advertisement in stone of When Assistant Secretary Vanderslip the progress in prosperity of the Golden State.
