The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1871-08-10

Three persons, a woman and her two
daugters. were poisoned recently at
Lockport, Ohio, by drinking buttermilk
which had lain for some time in a pat
ent composition pressed pan, which has
been very generally adopted by the peo-
pie throughout that region. The pan is
composition of tin, lead and zinc, the
improvement claimed for it being that
it has no joints, being pressed from a
single sheet of this composition. The
physician. in attendance declared that
the patients were poisoned by the butter
milk drank from one of these pans, the
action of sour milk upon which creates q
deadly poison, although sweet milk may
be placed in them with safety. The
doctors seem to agree in this decision
The persons poisoned have recovered.

Very softly, while her clear sweet eyes
looked bravely into mine, she whispered
the little verse which has been ever with
me since, and has helped me often, as
her voice could help me in those far-off
days:

THE PUBLIC MEETING AT IL O'onocK,
To-MoRRow.-Let our citizens bear in
mind that the interests of our fair city
will tomorrow claim their attention for
an hour or two. Let all taxpayers in
terested in the oity's future attend. The
people must look after their own inte-
rests where. as in the case of our city,
the authorities have been found utterly
faithless.
We shall, tomorrow, have something
more to say on this subject. Whilst
looking after the State ring and all the
interests with which journalism is
charged, we intend to keep sharp eye
on our local ring. New York has set us
bright example. Let us look after our
Tweeds. though they be small-sized.
Thousands in Columbia are as valuable
to US as millions arc to New Yorkers.

Tho uaited States Court.

Ao OAaSou 0tAt01 V00Ets
Great interest is manifested in the
trials now going on in the United States
Court. The case on the tapis is that OF
the 'hsnging Of Jim Williams, alias
Rainey. Numerous witnesses, pro and
con-, have already been examined. The
prosecution maintain that the deceased
was wantonly hung by a band Of dis.
gnised men. The defence admit the
hanging. but produce evidence to show
that there was strong provocation which
induced the aot OF the disguised men
This man Rainey, or Williams. was cap
tain OF Scott's colored militia, and the
evidence shows that his company was
provided with arms and cartridges by
the State authorities. It was also proved
that Williams, or Rainey, had uttered
many violent threats, and had. on seve-
rol occasions, declared that, in certain
contingency, he would kill from the
cradle to the grave. Weleave, however,
our readers to form their own opinion
from the merits of the case as presented
by each side.

"a great FUSS" In one instance threatening
their lives with an iron bar which she iortu-

obtained access TO some letters which were

contained the names and addresses OF wealthy
parties for whom the vile women OF the house
were constantly at work. These names, the
