Wholesale Poisoning.

The guests at the Alhambra Hotel,
Atlantic city, were poisoned at dinner
on Sunday week. The number was
upwards of GO. 1t is supposed that
poison was put in the custard that
was used on the occasion by some un-
known hand. The persons were at
tackled with vomiting and purging, and
for a time the physicians in attendants,
supposed it to be cholera morbus, but
after a little while the symptoms AID
the sickness developed the fact that it
was poison of some kind, and the Ger.
tain indications were that it was ar
senic that had been put in the custard.
The landlady of the hotel, before any
OF the custard had been used, gave a
neighbor some of it and that neighbor
gave another neighbor some of the
same dish; all were made sick by it
and the same effects produced in eacl
case. The supposition is that who
ever put the poison in the custard pu
too much in it to have the designed
effect, if it was to kill the guests. 1

Sensational Charge of Murder.

For several days, editorial articles

out of the fact that Mr.. Peter Bufen-

married a Mrs. Angeline Hudson,
aged about p years, living in adjoin
ing townships, Madison county, in
this State, and were married several
years before Mr. Buffenberger died.
They had two children; Poffcnberger
was said to be worth from $780, GOO
to S700,cC0 and gave it to his wife
and her two children. Four years
after his death, as these articles state,
suspicious were raised by Buffenber-
gers friends, who would have been
heirs to L portion of his estate, that
his death was mysterious. and suspic

Cundurango.

This is a word which is destined
to figure conspicuously in patent
medicine advertisements for a long
time to come. 1t is the name of 4
tree found in South America, and
which has lately been found to pos
sess extraordinary medicinal prop
critics. The fruit Of this tree has
been known to possess poisonous
qualities, and it is this knowledge
which has incidentally led to the
discovery that the bark and leaves
of the trees possess curative prop
critics.
An Indian woman not long since
in one OF the southern provinces of
Ecuador, desiring to put her sick
husband out of misery, thought the
best way to effect her purpose was
to administer to him the poison Of
the cundurango. BUTT SO happened
that the tree was not in fruit. She
therefore used for her purpose some
of the leaves and bark Of this tree,
presuming that the effect would be
all the same. TO her surprise, and
it is thought to her delight, she
found that her husband showed evil
dent signs Of getting the better of
his disease, which happened to be
an internal cancer, for which there
has heretofore been found no cer-
tain remedy.
