The Supposed Poisoning.
At this hour the result OF the coron-
e.'s inquest on the Thompson children,
who died 20 mysteriously Yesterday, has
not yet been received here. The family
lived in q town on lake some FIVE
miles southwest Of this city. Susannah
Behrus, nurse who was taking care
OF Mrs. Thonp pson, who was fou ad lp
the house at the time the dead and
dying family were discovered, has been
arrested on suspicion of being 10 some
way connected with their illress and
death. .-
The coroner's inquest 90 tine bodies
OF the two Thompson children was not
held today as the third child died
to-day, aud the nurse, Miss Behrus,
who was at first suspected as having
some connection with the affairs is now
very III with symptoms similar to those
in The other cases. The physicians
are eth unable to determine the cause
OF the deaths, but there seems 10 De 9
general impression that they were
csused by the gas from the coal stove.
The nurse when found, Was apparent

JEFrERsoNvrLLR, February l4.-The
action taken by the women in this city
for the suppression Of the liquor traffic,
fully developed itself this afternoon.
The organization, composed Of about
two hundred ladies. met ct the Matho-
dist Church, at 3 o'clock, and after servi.
ces and some preliminary arrange.
ments they quietly marched
to Wm. Strauss saloon, one Of the most
prominent, where they found the doors
closed. They asked for admittance
but it was denied. Services were then
commenced upon the sidewalk. By
this time the excitement was at its
height and the crowd immense. After
singing and several PRAYERS, they
marched to A.. A. Fouts sa-
loon, and were followed by
vast crowds OF men and boys, where
they were received with kindness.
They asked Fouts to close and quit the
business. which he agreed to do pro-
vided they would buy him out. This
we understood they consented to do.
Then several hymns were sung and
prayers offered. Two kegs OF beer
were sold while the services
continued. From here they marched
10 A. Kleahier's saloon, aud were met
BY the proprietor, who kindly rendered
them the use OF the saloon to hold their
devotional exercises in. He was asked
to discontinue the sale Of spirituous
LIQUORS and close hia saloon, which
be declined to do unless they
would buy him out, and
arrangement to that effect was made
Singing aud praying were then COM
menceI, but the immenee crowd be-
came 60 noisy that the ladies were
forced out to the sidewalk where the
services continued for some tune.
When they concluded, the hour being
late, they adjourned to the church
where further services We're held, and
the hour Of one o'clock
