Clear. Strong Facts A great many people are asking what particular troubles Brown's Iron Bitters is good for. We have told you some things it is good for and why it is specially beneficial in all cases where strength is needed. The best way to tell you some of the complaints that Brown's Iron Bitters will cure is to quote what those who have tried it say Dyspepsia From Hon. J.

B. Benson, Hart well, Hart Feb. 1081. I want to say a good word for Brown's Iron Bitters. I am about sixty years of age; Jiave warehouse, railroad, and newspaper work to do.

I have been taking and various other kinds of whiskey bitters to give me an appetite, and the only appetite I got was one for strong drink. Rev. tylr. Anderson, the presiding elder for the district, stopped with me not long ago, suffering dreadfully with dyspepsia. I got him Brown's Iron Bitters.

It cured him. After he left, I concluded lo take that remaining in the bottle, and I assure you it has made a new man out of me. I have no desire for stimulants, and believe I could eat a pair of old boots and digest them as easily as rice. J. B.

Benson. Indigestion Mr. Alexander Grunnell, of Albany, N. says: I had been for years troubled with great weakness of my digestive organs, which seemed to be almost out of fix. Most usually I suffered from constipation, and at other times a severe running-off at the bowels would set in.

No remedy I ever tried would regulate this function until I tried Brown's Iron Bitters. It really benefited me from the first day I used it. My habits are now perfectly regular, and as a strengthener of the digestive organs, I think Brown's Iron Bitters worth its weight in diamonds." Overwork Rev. M. P.

Remington, Ithaca, N. writes: "From too close application to my calling, my health underwent a severe strain. I felt a weakness in every part of my body. My digestion especially failed me, and my nerves became all unstrung. Recreation did not do me proper benefit.

Finally, on the recommendation of a brother minister, I tried Brown's Iron Bitters. It has made me feel better and stronger than I ever before felt since I was a young man." Rheumatism Mrs. Lucy E. McCormick, Covington, writes: constitution was completely shattered by rheumatism. I suffered intensely; stimulants only gave me temporary relief.

I tried Brown's Iron Bitters. It has cured me completely, and I believe permanently. After using two bottles, I felt better and stronger than ever I did in my life before. Pain in the Back Mr. F.

G. Delaney, of Norfolk, writes; "It gives me great pleasure to experience once more that gloriously good feeling of perfect health. I was buried in despair, my back constantly pained me, and from head to foot I felt thoroughly ill. I could not walk across the yard without fatigue. Nothing I ate agreed with me.

Doctors could do me no good. I tried Bbown's Iron Bitteks. Jt has given me perfect health and strength." Kidney Diseases Steubenville.O., May Flease send me at once one pToss of your most excellent medicinal tonic, Brown's Iron Bitters. I have used it in my practice, for indigestion, dyspepsia, sour stomach, heartburn, nausea, vertigo, and have met with great success, in effecting cures. I find they give perfect tone and real strength to every part of the body, and in caes of kidney diseases and consumption they quickly stop all decay.

II. B. Alexander, M. D. Ask your druggist for a bottle of Brown's Iron Bitters and give it a fair trial.

It will do you good. ose of aiding insane persons. Its chief object to see that no insane person is improperly punished for the commission ot crime. The eoeiety furnishe the accused with expert evidence on the subject of insanity, to enable tm counsel to secure an acquittal of the prisoner if he is not sane. You will.

I think, be surprised, as the trls.1 of Guiteau progresses to see tne number of exrerts who wili testify in his ben air. The society will furnish much of the expert evidence, and you may he assured that the prisoner will bo as ably defended as ever was a man put on trial for bis life." The proceedings in court tomorrow will probably be opened by Cclonel Corkhill making an address In formal presentation of tbe charges. The witnesses for the government will then be heard. Secretary Illaine will be tbe first witness but it is not expected he will give extended testimony, but merely cover his knowledge of the snooting. According to the present programme, the government witnesses will be cross-examined by Scoville.

A. CHANCE FOB THE UWTEK9. Guiteau Offer "A Rare Opportunity" ta Members of the Bar. Following is the statement written by Guiteau in court this morning: To the legal profession of America: I am on trial for my life. I formerly practised law in New York and Chicago, and I propose to take an active part in my defence, as 1 know more about my inspiration and views in tnis case than any olie.

My brother-in-law, George Scoville, is my only counsel, and I hereby appeal to the legal profession of America tor aid. I want two or three first-class crimiual lawyers to assist in inv defence. I expect to have money shortly, so I can pay them. I shall get it partly from the settlement of an old matter in New York and partly from the sale of my book and partly from public contributions to my defence. Mv defence was published in the New York 'Herald October (, and in my speech published November 15 (yesterday).

Any well-known lawyer ot criminal capacity desiring to assist in my defence will please telegrapii without delay to George Scoville, Washington, D. C. If, for any reason, an application be refused, the name will be withheld iroui the public. (Signed) Charles Guiteap. In court, Washington, D.

The Whtte-Hol den party left Erie at 10 o'clock this morning ostensibly for Girard, but came on to within two miles of this place. The ring was pitched near the railroad track, adjoining the boundary line between Ohio and Pennsylvania, about eijfbiy rods from the latter State. While won the toss, and the tight began at 12.12 o'clock. White opened by planting a heavy blow on Holden's forehead. '1 he.

latter replied with blows on his opponent's breast, neck and leit eye, whereupon White tripped and fell; time for the first round, 2 minutes. For the second round Hoi-den hit Whit! heavily under the ear and both exchanged body blows, the round lasting i minutes and 40 seconds. In the third, Holdcn again opened on White with a neck stab and followed it with several taps on the head and breast. White retaliated with a body hit, knock-, ing Holdeu backwards into a hole, winch caused hiin to fail: time, 8 minutes. The fourth opened at 12.35, Holdeu planting: a heavy blow on White's chest, which felled Dim.

At this juncture, Henry Botsdale, a deputy sheriir of Ashtabula county, rushed into the ring, saying: "I arrest you for violating tlio law of tne State of Ohio." The deputy and a companion were hustled from the ring and the party retired across the Pennsylvania line, where the referee declared the fight a draw. Where the march wili be continued is uncertain.

The officers are now on the qui viva for Dooney Harris ana sportsmen connected with the affair.

A SERIOUS SMASH-UP. Derailment of Train on the Norfolk Branch of the Xew York cfc New England Ituilroad by the llreakius of a Switeh-Kd Xo Person Badly Hurt. An unavoidable accident occurred on the New York New England road yesterday. Conductor Tucker's passenger train on the road from lioston to Dedham, upon approaching the Ded-ham branch of the main which was opened for travel last Monday morning for the first time, was thrown from the track. The engine, while switching on to the branch track from the main track was derailed bv the breaking of the switch-rod.

The shock detached the eueine from tbe cars, snapping the coupling-rods in a twinkling. The engine went ott the track and half-way down the banking. The tour passenger cars continued their course on the main track, tearing it up for the distance of 200 feet, two of them finally pluniringdown the embankment and two remaining upon the roadbed. The trucks of tho two that leaped the track were smashed and rendered useless. The track is terribly torn up, bent aud twisted rails lying in every direction.

Several workmen were aboard the cars, but escaped with slight bruises. Over 100 workmen from Dediiam and tho Norwood repair, shop were immediately summoned. A curved side-track and switch have beeu laid, so that the inward traius to Boston can pass the wreck. The Twentieth Massachusetts' Hall.

Within the past two weeks numerous packages have been missed from tho ollice of the New York Boston Despatch Express Company on Devonshire street, and the ease was reported to the police. Yesterday afternoon Inspector Knox, assisted by Officer Foster of Station 4.

was detailed to work up the case, and, upon learning that suspicion rested on Edward Kellev, a driver of a Brockton express, concluded to watch him. Kelley left the oflice shortly before 4 o'clock with a load of parcels, and, after driving a short distance was seen to stop, and taking a package from the wagou, hand it to a man on the sidewalk. Officer Foster followed the man a short distance and then arrested him. He gave tho name of John Powers, 23 years of age, and is said to have been previously arrested for the same offence. The package contained a suit of clothes worth $42, the property of E.

Witt. Keiley, after leavine his confederate, was overhauled by Inspector Knox and taken to the central office. He is 24 year of age and has been employed driving the express but a short time. "Dead Beats" Must do. About fifty persons assembled in Horticultural Hall yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, in response to a call for a "convection of boarding-house and restaurant keepers ot New England." The object of tne convention was to form a permanent association for mutual protection against the imposition now so largely practised upon them by a class of worthless persons (commonly called "dead beats," who travel from city to city, and from place to place, sponging their living out ot all classes of honest traders); and, also, to discuss all matters of importance relative to the above-named several branches of trade and business.

The meeting was called to order by Josepn Cleveland of Lawrence, and organized with tne choice of John Orvis of Boston as chairman, and Joseph Clevelaud of Lawrence secretary. A committee of five was appointed to prepare a constitution and bring in tbe list ot permanent officers. It was voted that the name of tbe association should be "The Central Mutual Boarding-housekeepers' Protective Association." The. headquarters of tbe society is to be iu Boston.

Guiteau Issues an Appeal to the Legal Profession. The Twelve Juror Chosen to Decide the Prisoner's Fate. Penpatch to The Boston Globe. Washington, November 16. crowd in the Criminal Court room today found little of interest.

Tbe assassin was brought in manacled, and sat down looking around bint to note the sensation be produced. He bowed distantly to bis counsel and relatives, and for a moment sat still, staring at the crowd. Then he engaged in an animated conversation witn fjcoville, tbe purport of which was that he would like to cet another statement before the public. He wanted to deliver it then and there, but Scoville and John Wilson Gniteau induced him to preserve silence. He turned suddenly to his newspapers for a moment, and then Hi rowing them on the tablo excitedly began to write slowly and thoughtfully.

He turned from the table to a reporter, who sat behind the bailiffs and policemen, and iu the rear, and told him that he wanted to fret anything that he mlbt write into the paper he represented. Then he resumed his work, from which his brother strove in vain to induce hirn to desist. He wrote half a dozen lines on the sheet, and then tore it up, and, turning; to John Wilson Guiteau, discussed with hi in lor five or ten minutes about another public statement, lie told him that he wanted to set himself rljrht before the people. He had been grossly misrepresented by the press since the trial began, and he wanted to show the peopie that that was the fact. He told his broLhcr that he was managing the case; that, if he didn't choose to act as he wanted him to, ne could leave.

He proposed to write and publish a statement that would set him right, aud he would do it though all his friends stood in the way. He resumed his worK, at which he labored slowly and with great care, copying in a fair, large hand from notes on the table betore him. The spectators were very quiet and orderiy. The seventy-tive talesmen summoned yesterday were sworn and examined on their voir dice, ive were pronounced two were peremptorily challenged by the delence, Scoville examining the latter at length respecting politics, occupation, religion, social affi ations, etc. The proceedings became very mouotonous.

Guiteau's Atrnion to Bohimon was manifested often. To Scoville he was overheard, to say, "I don't want him, and I won't have him. I want you to tell the court to asK- him to withdraw." Later he said Robinson wants to go crooked, and I won't have hiiu; I want everything straight in this trial." During the morning Scoville stated that none of the iriendsof the accused were satisfied with Robinson's actions. They had not been consul ced by him for more than a week. He seemed to want to work alone, and Mr.

Scoville would certainly preferworking alone than to be pulling at cross purposes with such a man. Scoville continued to do all the questioning, Robinson being consulted as to tbe eligibility of the man they accented as the tenth juror. At 11.15 o'clock twenty-two talesmen had been examined, and one man, W. H. lirauner, a substantial-looking commission merchant, who was possessed of the general qualifications, had been accepted and sworn as the tenth juror.

As man alter man came up and declared he had opinions fixed as adamant, Mr. Scoville said he feared that this might have become a fashionable way of getting ria of serving, and suggested that tne court might perhaps question much talesmen more closely. Judge Cox tried it on the next man, but he answered tnat no evidence in the world could cliauge his opinion. This satis-tied the court aud all the counsel, and similar answers came from the next half dozen. I II.

JSarnum said he had no iixed opinion and always liked to hear both sides of a case betore deciding. He was peremptorily challenged by the prosecution, which exhausted three of the four challenges allowed tnem by law. The next man was challenged by the defence, and was the tenth of the twenty chaJiongr.es allowed. There was an opportunity lor conversation between the prisoner and friends. To Scoville he said at one time, "Don't worry about mo.

I am in good spirits and all right." Later he leaned over to his brother and said: "Who is that gentleman opposite you?" "The agent of the National Associated Press." "Well, 1 want him to do me a favor." "What is it?" "It is this. Some one has said in the papers that 1 was four weeks writing: the statement which 1 published yesterday. That is wrong. I wrote it in about two days." At another time he had written something for the press, and asked his brother to give it out. His brother took it, and banning it to one who sat near, whispered, it in your pocket." lie Was Overheard by Kuileau, who turned upon him in a rage.

"See here, now," said he, "don't you try to deceive me. If you don't like what I do tell me so, but play no tricks. I want everybody to deal fair with me, or I don't want them anywhere near me." 'f lie paper was restored, and proved to be a copy of bis appeal to tue bar. After this the prisoner was as quiet as could be wished, aud behaved very well indeed. After several more talesmen had been examined the eleventh juror was found in the person of Thomas Hemeline, a mechanic.

He allowed no newspaper to form bis opinion. He was no politician, and on the whole seemed a very sensible man. The defence was satisfied to take C. A. Paine for tbe twelfth juror, but the prosecution challenged him.

Richard Hopkins, a bar-tender, said he thoucrht he was a conscientious man and could take all the points into consideration if he should happen to have luck enongh to get on the jury. The defence took pity on him and be stepped down- and out. Next came an intelligent young colored man, who turned out to be a deputy marshal's assistant, on which ground the defence challenged. At this point'Guiteau said to Scoville: "Don't rush things. I'll have other counsel tomorrow, and if we don't get ready today we won't need Robinson in the trial at all." "He seems very anxious to go slow," said Scoville to the writer.

He really expects to have a dozen answers to his application tomorrow, and if he don't get any he will be all upset." J. W. Hayes, a paper hanger, said during his examination that he had never sat except on one jury aud that was a "packed" one. He had known a good many such juries in this district. Ha had a very decided opinion at first, but had changed it somewhat.

The defence accepted him. Colonel Corkhill asked him what had changed his opinion. He replied he bad been influenced by what he had read about the medical treatment of the President and by the physicians' bulletins. The prosecution excused him. Soovilie said he understood the prosecution had exhausted all their challenges.

The court explained they had the privilege of five, aud that ThU was the Last. Joseph Fartte, a commission merchant, had expressed an opinion on the case and had not changed it, but thought it would- bias his judgment. He was not objectionable to the defence lu any way, and as the prosecution bad no more challenges be was accented and sworn iu as the twelith juror. At 12.50 the prosecution asked for a recess of twenty minutes, and it was granted. During the recess the prisoner had a iuncb in the marshal's room.

The court resumed its session at 1.38 u. in. At tbe request of Colonel Corkhill the jury was sworn in a body, after which tbe district-attorney asked, according to custom, that the jury be given this day to arrange their business, and that tne court therefore adjourn till tomorrow. Mr. Scoville then rose to a personal explanation.

He said too much matter bad been given to the press by the prisoner without tbe consent of his counsel notably the appeal to the bar given out today. He wished it understood all such matters must be considered as unauthorized by him. While Mr. Scoville was speaking Guiteau remained cairn, but a he concluded the prisoner jumped to his feet. "Now, your honor," aid be, "I desire to say a word.

I am here in a capacity as prisoner and partly as my own counsel. I shall demand the right to be beard in my own uetenee. I have not asked tbe court to assign me counsel, and uutil 1 do ask it I do not want tbe court to assign any. I expect a good many replies to tbe appeal referred to, ana will fix it up then. I desire it to be understood that I am here in a dual capacity." He emphasized bis remarks with frequent table tappings, and as he sat down be extended his bauds for the manacles.

The court smiled and replied "All right; it is understood all around," and an adjournment was declared until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. The prisoner passed through, a hissing crowd and was safely jailed. Tbe Jury is as fair as the prisouer could desire. Three of its members are grocers, three are merchants, two are machinists, one is a restaurant keeper, another a cigar dealer, and Wormley, the single colored juror, is a laborer. They are men of mora than ordinary intelligence.

The old-time notion that men should not. have read the newspapers or expressed opinions on the subject of the crime to be eligible as jurors wa discarded, and Mr. Scoville endeavored to obtain fair-minded men, of sufficient mental capacity to comprehend the necessity often arising in consideration of the plea of insanity. A Carinas Story was related today by a gentleman of this city in connection with tbenrenarationsof the nnanner'a LSviuiael aaac iae plea or. wsaau, lucre Discovered on the Person of a Mysterious Stranger.

A Conspiracy to Assassinate the Late President. Gniteau Only One of a. Gavajir ised for That Purpose. Special Despatch to The Boston Globe. Chicago.

November 16. A mysterious man has been arrested at Kensington, a suburban town, and jailed. He gave several fictitious names, and claims to come from Canada. When searched he was found to have a mass of correspondence between Charles J. Guiteau -and many prominent people throughout the country.

The correspondence discloses the alleged fact that a widespread conspiracy existed previous to Garfield's assassination, and that Guiteau was only one member of a gang who had plotted and planned for months to remove the president. Tne police of Kensington refuse to give the details of the arrest of the suspicious character, but have him carefully lodged in Jail. Colonel Corkhill was communicated with by telegraph this evening, and answered to hold the prisoner by alt means and forward to him the correspond-dence. It is said that some startling disclosures will be made iu the letters when they are made public at Washington at the trial, where they will arrive Friday morning. The people at Kensington are greatly excited over the strange discovery, and threats are freely made to lynch the mysterious stranger before morning.

The police are making extra exertions to guard well their prisoner. A special to the Chicago Herald from Washington this evening says the alleged cause of the rupture between MacVeagh, Corkhill and President Arthur is said to be because the former expended tbe entire amount of the contingent fund at their disposal in their efforts to discover the supposed conspiracy which has thus accidentally come to light in Kensimrton. THE WEBSTER CENTENNIAL. Arrangements for SJelebratinc the lOOth Anniversary of Daniel Webster' Birth.
