Wholesale Poisoning ut q Wedding
Festival.

Cincinnati telegram to the Chicago Tribune
says: Further particulars are received here
tonight of the terrible poisoning case in Ten
nessee. The marriage of Joel Hembric and
Miss Jane Dale, Of Roane county, drew large
company Of the friends and relatives, who be-
long to prominent families i'll the vicinity.
The wedding had long been talked OF, and was
the social event of the year. After the cere-
mony the company were invited to the hospita-
ole 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 late
hour another meal was served. After the sec
ond meal several guests began complaining Of
illness, but 1t was laughed OFF, and the gayety
continued. About IL p. m. sudden lethargy
seemed to overtake 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 neghborhood 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 guerts were dead.
Robert Dale, the BRIDES brother. died next day.
Mike May, relative Of the groom, died in few
hours. Albert Gallagher and Miss Matte Love-
lace, well-known 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 momentarily expected.
The cause OF the tragedy was using arsenic
instead of salt for the seasoning of chickens.
Col Dale purchased quantity Of arsenic a
day or two before to kill crows, and carelessly
left 1t in the kitchen. laundering servant
mistook it for salt, and hence the fatal results.
None but those who partook of the chicken
were poisoned.

expressions Of disappointment were heard at
the result, but those who uttered them evident

under which ST. Julien trotted. To begin with,
the truck ut Beacon Park Is BY no means fast; In
fact, 1t is generally conceded that it Is at
least threo seconds slower than that
at Rochester or Chicago. In addition,
Mr. Hickuk, having carefully examined the
track, found that near the fence, from being
trotted on 20 much, ii became hs,llOxed out hud

Oyertaxiug Young Minds.

A German physician, Doctor 'Treich
Ter, in paper read before the German
Association of Natural Historians, dis
cusses headache among school children,
He says the principal cause of headache
is intellectual over-exertion. He attacks
the present system Of education as tend
ing to produce mental confusion instead
of increasing knowledge. He protests
against night study as causing an ex.
haustion of the brain, so that new ideas
cannot be really grasped, while confu'
sion is produced with regard to subjects
that have been studied during the day,
The same views were recently expressed
by an eminent American physician,
Both critics are on the right track.
The results which they deplore are ow.
ing to the ambition Of parents and
scholars themselves, rather than to the
work of the teachers. The teacher,
under present methods, suffers as much
as scholars. The greatest present evils
of the scholars are crowded rooms and
bad air. These alone would produce
headaches and render child unfit fol
study, and the teacher unit for his OF
her duties. Our teachers are shut up in
