Yesterday morning information was received
at the Fifth Ward Police Station, by Lieut..
Hutchngs, to the effect that four cOlOred wo-
men and white man had been poisoned at
boarding house in the rear of No. IS4 Church
street. 1t appears that q Canadian cOlOrcd
woman, named Maria j. Williams, who had
recently arrived in the city from Michigan.
had engaged boarding at the house named and
during Monday had dispute with some of the
inmates. AT an carly hour yesterday morning
she entered the kitchen willie the cook was
absent, and threw package into the kettle of
coffee which was boiling on the stove. If
Shortly after the breakfast was prepared a
white man, (whOsc name we could not lcarn.)
and four CreOlcS, named Harriet Bates, fkccp-
er of the house, Sarah Miller, Elizabeth Rob
nson and Catharine Williams, sat down ut
table. 1t was noticed at the time that the girl
Williams refused to drink any coffee, but call
ed for tumbler of water; but nothing was
thought of it. The others drank several cups
of the coffee and in the course of an hour were
seized with violent pains and severe vomiting,
strongly indieatingthat poison had been admin
istercd to them. A colored physician, Doctor
McCurry Smith, was Immediately called in
and rendered the sufferers every attention in
his power, but apparently with but little sue
cess. ! he tin kettle was subsequently discOv-
cred, and found to contain pint or more of
coffee grounds, among which were numerous
pieces of white paper, and long piece of
Irvine, such as used by. the druggists, -
These circumstances led all to believe that q
dose of arsenic had been purchased and thrown
into the coffee kettle just as it had been rcceiv-
ed from the drug store. The kettle and con-
tents were taken to the Station House, and ar
raDgements made to have the coffee grounds
analysed by competent chemist, with u view
of obtaining trace of the deadly drug. The
party whom thekeeper Of the house suspected
was at once arrested by Lieutenant Hutch
ings, and locked up to await further action in
the matter.-N. Y. Times. ~, '.'........

whether it was loaded or not, proceeded care

= The Lake Superior Journal of the 18th,
says that Che Miners IN the Employ of the
Qusbec Mining Company. % Michipicotan
Islapd on the north shore q Lake Superior
arrived at the Saul in small boats Oh the
3lst plt.. having been attacked by the In
dams in that neighborhood, and driven off
from the Island on the 26th ult. The Ind
ians went SO far as to fire at the miners and
made very hostile demonstration. The
agent Of the Mine, Mr. WILSON, of Cana
da West, was absent at the time, and the
men had no other way left but to abandon
the mine. sTDu Mgvfss AT0<8lz,s'
These men applied at once to- JOSEPH
WMsoS, Esq, the only magistrate on the
Canada side, opposite that place, for assist
ance, but Mr.. W. could do nothing, as the
Government has provided neither ways
nor means for such an emergency, and
the consequence will be that the Indi-
ans will rob the mine Of its provis-
ions and of everything, in fact, that is val
liable in the way of moveables. This is the
second time this company have been moles-
ted by the Indians, aud may prove as seri-
GUS as the Mica Bay affair, in the fall of
1850, when large number of men were
attacked and much property destroyed -
They succeeded so well at that time, that
they have undertaken the same thing over
again.
