Steuberville has had a mysterious
poisoning affair. About two weeks ago
the family of MIR Kilmyer, who resides
on Seventh street near, the Acme
Glass Works, all became seriously
i'll and sent for a physician,
who gave the opinion that they had been
poisoned. The parties affected were five
in number. Mrs. helmyer, thrco chill
dren, and her brother. They were all
carefully treated by the physician and
recovered. but shortly afterward again
became i'll, ard exhibited precisely the
same symptoms as formerly. On the
first occasion the husband was not sick
at SILL but on the second complained that
he also was i'll, but the man of medicine
could not discover the nature of his all
ment. Sometime before and during the
illness OF the family, the husband bad
scted in the capacity of cook. The edi-
bic and other articles remaining in the
house were examined, but no poison
WAS discovered in them, and the
mystery is how they got the poison
into their stomachs. There is no doubt
that it was there. The husband and
wife have not lived in harmony for
some years, and it is said that at times
while under the influence OF liquor he
has beaten her. The presence Of mis-
wite's brother in the house was also
distaste!ul to kIlmyer. Some time
since the father of Mrs. kilmyer, VINO
resides in Germany, sent money to pur-
chase the house they live in, with the
proviso that the decd should be made
OutIn her name, and the husband should
never have anything to do with it. This
did not coincide with his ideas of matters
and things, and rumpus was the
result But he found that "what
couldn't be cured must be endured" and
so the matter stands The family are
again doing well, and unless they re-
ceive another dose will no doubt recover
1t caused n CommoLioa in the neighbor-
hood where they reside. The parties
are al German.
