Wholesale Poisoning at . Wedding
Festival.

A Cincinnati telegram to the Chicago Tribune
says: Further particulars are received here
tonight of the terrible poisoning case in Ten
Miss Jane Dale, Of Roane county, drew large
company Of the friends and relatives, who be-
long to prominent families in the vicinity
The wedding had long been talked of, and was
the social event of the year. After the cere-
mony the company we're invited to the hospita-
BILE board of Col. Dale, the bride and groom in
the meantime Withdrawing. The table was
bountifully supplied and all ate heartily. The
evening was spent in festivities. and at q late
hour another meal was served. After the sec
ond meal several guests began complaining of
illness, but it was laughed off, and the gayety
continued. About II p. m. a sudden lethargy
seemed to oyertake the whole company, and in
few minutes twenty-seven were unconscious,
The few who retained consciousness set them
selves at work to resuscitate their companions,
but without avail Twelve were removed to
other houses in the neighborhood, and as the
news spread the whole country around was
aroused with excitement as nearly every prom
inent family had members present at the fatal
feast. Such medical aid as could be summoned
could give little relief and in two days after the
occurrence six of the wedding guests were dead.
Robert Dale, the BRIDES brother died next day.
Nike May, a relative of the groom, died in few
hours. Albert Gallagher and Miss Matte Love-
lace, welLknown young people, died next day.
Two young girls, Emma Peters and Kate Low
ry, died within twenty-four hours.
Col. Dale and wife are very low, and their
death is momenarily expected.
The cause OF the tragedy was using arsenic
instead of salt for the seasoning of chickens.
Col. Dale purchased quantity of arsenic
day or two before to kill crows, and carelessly
left 1t In the kitchen. A laundering servant
mistook it for salt, and hence the fatal results.
None but those who partook Of the chicken
were poisoned.

PRESIDENT HAYES MESSAGE.

The chief features of the Presidents annual
message to Congress have been telegraphed
from Washington in advance of its delivery to
that body. From a summarized report sent to
the Chicago tribune, we condense as follows !:
A considerable portion of the document
is devoted to a review of the admin
istration, particularly to the Southern
policy. Attention is called to the
fact that the country has again escaped the
fayages of the yellow fever, and the Work of the
National Board of Health Is approved Recon-
.nendations are made that the United States
Marshals, from whom payment has been with
held for some years, shall be paid for services
which they have legally rendered.
On the subject of finances, the message shows
that the President has not changed his views.
Al to the fisheries the President is able to re-
port Indications Of a change in the attitude of
the British Government ON this subject conse-
quent upon the change in the British Cabinet,
as Lord Granville is not disposed to make the
treaty of Washington and the powers of the
British empire subordinate to the police regu-
lations of the fishing villages on the New
foundland coast. The President an
Hounces the successful negotiation Of
treaty with the Chinese empire The propri-
ETY. OF making new commercial treaty with
Spain is referred to; and attention called to the
necessity of improving commercial relations
with the Spanish West India islands The por-
ton Of the message devoted to Mexico treats Of
the proposed commercial relations with that
country. and Of the railroad enterprises now
in contemplation between the United
STATES and the CITY of Mexico. and strongly
recommends them. The President indCrses
the position taken by the Secretary Of tho
Treasury report relative to the proper means
to be taken to redeem the obligations of the
United States which viii fall due next year, and
urges the necessity Of the passage Of a funding
law.
Attention is called to the necessity Of such
legislation respecting the United States Su-
preme Court as viii relieve the court and pre-
vent the delay of justice and the possible OPP
preston of suitors. The President still ad-
heres to the belief that the creation
Of additional CIRCUIT Judges would. afford

Where He Missed If.

A Detroit merchant, who has for two
or three years past employed an ancient
darky to do odd chores about the store,
was yesterday asked for few minutes
private conversation, and when the re-
quest had been granted the old man be-
gan:

The total amount of national-bank notes re-
ceived for redemption by the Comptroller of
the Currency and at the redemption agencies
Of the treasury during the year 1880 is shown
to have been $50 G98, $40. The number of
bank notes which have been issued since or
ganization of the system is 137 677, 219. vallted
at 1885,, 069; 1856. Of these 50, 1885, 566, valu sd
at $641, 005 534, have been redeemed, and
80. 74O,653, valued at $342, 063 ISL; were still
national-bank currency destroyed during the
year ending Oct 81, 1880, was $50, 539, $780,
The Comptroller says: The total losses
charged off by banks during the var were
$14, 706, 406, and for the four years previous
SIS, $4,000. The total losses charged OF DUR
ing the last five years are more than Is per
cent. Of the entire capital of the banks. Dur
ing the last five years the average number of
banks annually passing dividends on account of
losses have been 279. The average amount of
capital upon which no dividend has been paid
during that time is $42, 266,244, from which it
follows that, for continuous period of five
years, about one-seventh of the whole number of
banks in operation have paid no dividends, and
that nearly one-tenth of the total capital has
been unremuneratiVs;
The Comptroller deals at considerable length
with the subject of natlonal-bank taxation.
He admits the right of the States to tax the
shares of banks organized under State laws,
but holds that they have no right to impose
higher tax on national-bank shares than on
any other money capital in the hands Of inii-
yiduals. He recommends Congress to pass
law fixing the maximum rate Of taxation which
the State can impose on these shares. The
Comptroller repeats his previous recommended
ton that the national law imposing a tax on
the capital and deposits Of the banks and pro-
viding for the use of the 2-cent check stamp be
repealed. He says that the tax on spirits, to-
bacco, and beer. together with the customs
revenue, would be quite sufficient to meet all
the expenses of the Government, and to reduce
the public debt at the rate of hundreds of
millions of dollars every year. The abolition
of the match tax and the tax on patent
medicines is also recommended.
