Wholesale Poisoning.

From the indianapolis Herald, July 81
One of the most startling and mysteri
Gus cases of wholesale poisoning that bs,
every came within our knowledge. trans
PRED on Saturday evening last-tbe
largest number of the victims beino
boarders at the Pyle Hause. Mr.. PvI99
has about eighty boarders, and at upner
last Saturday night the most of them
drank milk. In the course of an bour
and q half after, some one who had drank
milk felt sick az the stomach ana con-
menced growing worse. One by one were
attacked until midnight, when the victims
who were lying gripping and purginc
showed symptoms of being poisoned bTT
some agent which acted on the svsten
very much like tartar emetie. In the
meanwhile physicians were sent for VIII
came and prescribed for the cases. Thirty
" of the victims were dodgers at t6a
Pyle House, while the others were mereIv
day boarders who roOmed elsewhere in the
city. Some were in the streets when at
tackled, and had to be carried home
MI. Pyle, his family, the servants and
in fact, nearly all connected with the
house were poisoned.
Mr.. Moore's family, eight in numbar
who reside on Pennsylvania street, and
who got milk from the same man who
supplies the Pyle House were similarly
attacked. The family of Isaac TavIor
we're also attacked, and showed similar
igns of being poisoned. The milk ven
iers name is Austin, and is believed TO
I%innocent of culpability or careless
less. We understand a lot of the milk il
. be analysed by some of our physicians.
when it will be determined whether #
vas q mineral or other poison.

ACnmnromise measure.

One of the most unfortunate measures
which passed Congress in the hurry OF
closing the session, when extravaganza
and corruption always have their best
chance, was the Hrider'' to the Civil ap-
preparation bill, equalizing the bOunties
Of the soldiers, and increasing the pay Of
members of the Senate Tho manner in
which it happened to pass was this; The
House of Representatives passed a bill,
only two votes being recorded against 1t,
for the equalization of bSunties, provid-
ing for the payment of some two or three
| hundred millions of dollars TO soldiers IN
| the way of bounties to those who enlisted
without bounties at the beginning of the
war. In view of the state of the public
debt this was a very unwise measure, and
the Senate very properly killed 1t by
vote of p TO Il. The Senate then passed
a bill to increase the compensation OF the
members of Congress from three thousand
| dollars per annuna to five. This would
have increased our national expense!
about half a million a year, and the House
which now had an innings, very properly
| sauelehed it by a vote of l25 TO 3. There
upon A Committee Of Conference was ap
poinsed, which, instead of allowing botE
measures, ~extravagant and unWise IS the
are, to die, agreed TO resurrect both
and stuck them, together, so that they
would not be voted upon separately, int
the Civil Appropriation bill, a very
important and necessary measure
In this way each House was forced
to the alternative of swallowing
a bill to which it was strongly opposed, o.
else of defeating one of which it wa
strongly in favor. The result was tina
the bill, thus loaded, passed the Senat,
by % to l3 and the House by O.
10 80. The Ohio members in the HousI
were divided on the question as follows
Ayes, Eckley, Leblond Dem.) Schenck
Spalding; Noes, Bingham, Eggleston
Finck DEM Garfield, Hayes, Hubbel
Lawrence, Plants, Shellabarger and Vel
ker. Mr.. Delano was opposed to the bill
but was absent at the time of the vote
Messrs. Ashley, Buckland, Bundy anC
Clarke were also absent.
We regard the passage of both bills a
unfortunate, and the action of the HOusi
in the matter as savOring strongly of bun
combe. The passage of the bill for tn,
equalization of bounties with only two
negative votes was a palpsble attempt OF
the part of many to catch the soldiers vote
The defeat of the Senate bill to increasl
the compensation of Congressman, by II!
to ;, was an equally palpable attempt t,
get favor with constituents on the scor
of self-sacriieing economy. Doubles
there were as many members of tn,
House as of the Senate in favor ofhaVinE
their pay increased. But being more di
rectly responsible to the people, the HOus,
was more anxious to preserve an apparen
economy. And so, while the Senate pas
sed the bill almost unanimously, tn
House rejectedit with equal unanimity. A
last its connection with the bill equalizing
bounties enables Congressman to vote fOl
it in disguise. Both bills are successful
the benefciarIes are delighted, and-tht
people pay the taxes.
