The Evidence All Presented in the JlcCaus land Murder Trial LL THE MEWS FROM XEAB-BI TOWKS tErECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIl DISPATCH.1 rnxxsuTAw-NEr, April 8. The duck itonn that fell upon the plains of Pnnxsu tawney was a great deal more extensive than was at first supposed. It was a ver itable deluge of ducks. Everybody ad mitted that they never saw anything ap proaching it. Mahoning creek and all its tributaries within a radius of ten miles were literally swarming with wild ducks and geese of every species and variety. A person who did not witness it could have no conception of the immensity of the flock. There were thousands of them. The night being dark and stormy and the snow falling fast, tho birds were attracted by toe numerous lights of the coko ovens surrounding Punxsutawney, and came down. Hundreds of the unlucky fowls flew too close to the mouths of the ovens, got their wmss singed and dropped into the furnaces like moths into the nanus of a torchl The Hungarians and Ital ians got out their clubs and killed ban-els of the birds. The next morning great numbers of wild ducks and geese were found in. the Fnow and captured, and when the citizens of Punxsutawney saw that Mahoning creek was a living mass of wild fowl, every man who could buy or borrow a gun was oat shooting ducks. The banks were strewn with dead fowls, and everybody was possessed with a fiendish desire to kill. John W. Barr, son of the proprietor of the City Hotel, shot and bagged 116 ducks. A hundred others killed from SO to 40 each. No less than 50 ducks and geese were caught alive. .Everybody seemed to go wild over the affair and all business was suspended for the day. The banks of the creek for ten miles were lined with sportsmen. It is safe to say that 2,000 men were out hunting ducks, and it would probablv not be an exaggeration to say that 10,000 ducks were slain that day. It was a wanton, barbarous slaughter of In nocent creatures, for nearly all admitted that the birds were a very inferior article of food. This horde of ducks and geese was evidently migrating from the South to the great lakes, when the storm caught them and forced them to descend. Such a deluge of ducks has never been known before and may never occur again. BEN CLAKK'S DEFENSE. The Accused Bases Ilis Dopes on His Yonng Wile's Evidence rSPECIAI. TXLEGIU1I TO TITS DISPATCH.! "Watxesbubg, April 8. The testimony in the Ben Clark murder trial was concluded this eenicg. The Commonwealth closed its side with the statement made by the prisoner some months ago, which indicated a knowledge at least of the crime. Evidence was also offered to show that this statement was entirely volun tary on the part of the prisoner, he having been warned that it might be used against him. The statement was read to the jury after a lengthy legal battle. The defense produced but four witnesses, and tbeir examination was brief. They depended solely upon the testimony of one witness, the defendant's wife, at the time of the crime Miss Ella Meredith, and making her home with the Clarks. She testified that she and a daft brother of the defendant were in a cornfield with him during the forenoon on which the murder was committed. Clark's wite is quite young, and could not at that time have been over 15 years of age. The case will probably go to the jury to-morrow. THE CHAMPION THIEVES.

The Grand Opera House Filled """ With People. A MEDICAL WONDER. The Interest manifested by invalids of every description in the public healing of the sick at the 3 rand Opera House every morning from 10 to U o'clock by Dr. Smith, seems to be increas ing. The Opera House is filled to overflowing every morning with Invalids from all parts of the country and city who are suffering from all manner of complaints, eagerly waiting for an opportunity to receive a magnetic treatment from Dr. Smith. That this man is endowed with a strange and mysterious gift to heal dis eases there can be no possible doubt. Tho many wonderful cures he performs simply by laying his hands upon the invalid is truly mar velous. Scores of helpless invalids are carried upon the stage, and after receiving a magnetic treatment of not more than five minutes' dura tion, get uo, walk around the platform and de clare to the audience that they are entirely well. Dr. Smith Is a thoroughly educated phy sicianand surgeon, and performs all operations known to surgery; be cordially invites both the sick and the well to go to the Grand Opera House and witness his many wonderful cures. This morning a man went upon the stage who had been a helpless invalid for four vears, suf ferin from rheumatism in his back and lees. He was so lame that be was obliged to walk with crutches and could not stand alone with out them. In five minutes bo was running around the platform with his crutches over his shoulder, as well as he ever was in his life. Another gentleman who suffered from a lame shoulder and nho had not been able to put on bis coat without help in five years, wascuredin less than five minutes. A lady who bad been deaf five years was made to hear a whisper. A lady suffering from rheumatic headache was re lieved of all pain in a few moments' time. These wonderful cures were witnessed by an audience of more than 1,000 people. Dr. Smith will treat the sick every morning this week at the Grand Opera House from 10 to II o'clock free of charge: everybody is invited to attend and listen to the lecture and witness the cures.

You know that to be forewarned is to be fore armed. A mad dog will bite anybody so will the clothing sharks, curbstone dealers, petty dives and brainless imitators. Give 'em a chancer and they will bite your pocketbook clear through the mid dle; and worse' yet, they will lie to you in every way they can to in duce you to buy their old shop-worn and shoddy goods. They will advertise "new goods" when they have not received a single fresh article; they will claim that their "goods are the best" when in reality they are shop-worn, threadbare garments left over from past seasons, and they won't hesitate to declare their prices "the lowest," when it is as true as truth itself that Gusky's always have and always will undersell them all. Keep your eye on these imitators; watch their advertisements, and you will see our predictions and assertions are well founded. But let them talk and blow as they please; Gusky's are far above and beyond all would-be competitors. From "Chronicle Telegraph" of Monday, April 8, 1889. This Sale Continued This Week!
