Notes Of News

Two families Syracuse, n. Y.
were poisoned recently by eating
buckwheat cakes. The poison is sup
posed to have been in the yeast used
in the cakes. None of the cases re-
suited fatally.
The jewelry establishment Of Chas.
Otto. at Peoria, Ill was robbed early
on Friday morning of $1,000 in money
and $40, 900 in goods. At daylight the
sheriff arrested Otto himself as the
thief. Otto is largely indebted to East
ern merchants
The trial of Mrs. Malinda Mack,
indicted with hired man, Frank
Dickinson, for the murder of her hus-
band, closed yesterday morning, at
Chicago, with verdict of guilty,
with the extreme penalty of the law
for woman- imprisonment for life.
Dickinson will be tried later.
When Morton and HUM, the con-
victed railroad officers in Philadelphia,
arrived at the prison where they are to
undergo their ten years confinement
they We're first clad i'm the prison
garb. Then they were blindfolded by
bags thrown over their heads, and
were walked up and down the various
corridors several times, in order that
they might be confused as to the situa-
ton of the cells to which they were
consigned. When they were finally
brought to their places of continents ent
the bags were removed.
On Christmas eve the dead bodies
of Ezra Wilson, aged SO years, and his
wife Ellen r., aged 81 years, were
found at his store, S5 Sundbury street.
Boston, he having shot himself
through the mouth after shooting her
through the head They were mar
ried last July, and having had some
trouble separated in October by mu-
tual consent. Last evening she called
at his place of business and asked him
to return some letters which she wrote
to him during their courtship. He
said he did not have them with him,
but would return them later. She
then went away, saying that she
should go home by the seven o'clock
train on the Boston and Maine Rail-
road. 1t seems, however, that she re-
turned to the store later in the evening.
Nothing is known of what then trans
pired. A son of Mr.. Wilson, by a
former marriage, says he invited his
father to be present at his house on
Christmas day, and the father replied
that he would if nothing occurred. "
1t is probable that jealousy excited the
| commission of the double murder.

Letter from BrOckwayville.

Santa Clause" visited Brockway-
vile in his rounds OIL Christmas eve,
to the delight of old and young. A.
beautiful Christmas tree occupied the
place of honor in the NJ. E. church,
which was heavily laden with a great
variety of excellent fruit. The church
was neatly decorated with evergreens
and flowers. A class of little people
had been well trained and prepared
for the exercises by MIR. ]. G. Daley,
and when the time came they acquitted
themselves with credit. The exercises
consisted of singing several appropri-
ate pieces. Prayer and short addresses
by the pastor, recitation of Scripture
texts by the girls, and distribution of
presents by Santa Claus and four as
sistants in costume. The evening
passed away very pleasantly, and all
felt on leaving thai our Christmas
tree" was a success. NJ.
