WHOLESALE LEAD POISONING.

For two or three months past the people oil
Waikiki Valley, In the Western part Of Orangt
County. New York, have suffered from mysteri.
Gus disease that baftled the skill Of the physicians
Several deiths occurred, the symptoms being
those Of lead poisoning. Upon Investigation Il
| was found that these cases resulted from eating
brcal made from -four and meal manufactured nj
q mill at Phillipsburg, largely patronilel by the
surrounding farmers. The miller did an exten.
sivo business. making -four and meal both for the
local consumption and for export, running four
sets of stones night and day. and keeping one set
exclusively for custom work. This was an old
set, needing frequent repairs, and the holes were
filled from time to time, with lead instead Of with
cement. Some Of these filled holes were rs large
as hens egg. In grinding grain, Of course this
lead was almost imperceptibly mingled with the
-four. In crude state II was comparatively harm
less, but when the bread was fermented and sub.
ected to the baking process, the particles Of lead
become carbonate Of lead-a deadly poison.
Bread Of this kind was like bread spread with
white lead for butter.
As soon rs the cause Of the poisoning was rs.
certained, the poisoned -four was sent back to the
mill from oil quarters, and the mill stopped run.
ming.
or course there was panic among the people.
aud the doctors were kept busy day and night.
The only sufferers were those Who used Hour from
the mill Fortunately, the bakers Of the place re.
ceived their supplies from other sources, or the
panic would have been more widespread. AZ
Middleton, the physicians treated two hundred
and thirteen cases since the middle Of March to
the present time. There have also been over one
hundred cases In tho neighborhood Of Goshen
A child Of Dr.. johnson has died.
One account states that great many children

the appearance Of dry parchment; their eyes

the effects Of this fearful mslady.

resembles those of cholera.

TUESDAY, MAY %. Gen. Scott was too
feeble to endure the fatigue Of dressing, and
for the first time consented to give mp and re-
muin in bed. He refused all nourishneni, cx-
ccpt little brandy and water. His mind was
perfectly clear and although he did not talk,
on account Of the removal of his teeth, he
could easily indicate his desires. AT $50 A,
NJ. photographed to Mrs. Hoyt, his daughter,
that he was much worse. There was no one
in his sick chamber but his two attendants
and myself at this time. He was very oh.
