a BOY DIES IN PHILADELPHIA AFTER EATING MoUL-
DY sAUsA6Es.
provision dealer, named Loeser, at 2804
Frankford Road Philadelphia, had a lot Of sau-
sages to mould, and was throwing them away,
ESQ he says) when several were secured by a
poor and alf-famished boy named Koenig, who
lived near by. The boy invited a lot of other
children and the crowd ofyoungsters made short
work of the meat and ate of it in large quanti-
ties. Soon after they had finished the repast
one Of the brothers of Koenig, the boy who lrad
procured the sausage, was taken suddenly i'll.
This was about eleven o'clock yesterday. He
grew rapidly worse. Directly after he was seized
several of the others were taken in similar
manner, and very soon all who had composed
the party wore violently affected. messenger
was at once despatched for physicians, and Drs.
McCaulley and Nice arrived at the scene and i'm
mediately began administering powerful emetics,
The youthful victims suffered the keenest
agony. The skin became blue and the circula-
ton OF the blood stopped. They were utter
ly prostrated. There were all the symp-
toms of the presence of poison of vile ma
ture. Upon some the emetics had wonderful
effect and they grew rapidly into better condi-
ton. The physicians faithfully attended the
children, and their labors were successful save
in single exception.
One of the Keong children, baby yet in
frocks, became beyond the reach of medical skill
and at two O'Clock in the afternoon expired
Five others of the Keonig children were Affect
ed, more or less severely, and some four neigh
Dor children, besides.
The boy says that I.eeser gave him tho sau-
sages but the former denies this. He was,
however, arrested and also the man who made
the escape. 1t is said that me of it, given to
Il dog, caused his death in fifteen minutes.
The Koenig family lives in great poverty, and
DR.. Nice declares that the children must have
been in half starved condition when they par
took of the meat, since they vomited large pieces
of the meat, proving that they had bolted their
food yoraciouslv.

ter with about $50, 900 in money and property.
His son-in-law is graduate of Harvard Univer-
sity and has an 5ls10 clerkship in the Treasury.
The power of this negro was in his business.
