Child Poisoned.

The TwO-Year-OId RauEhter of HITS. HagEerty, Of White Street, Drinks Em- balmHng Solution and DIes.
 child of James Haggerty, No. 2S White street, died last Thursday of croup. The body was embalmed by Curran, the under taker, who used the usual poisonous mix ture. He warned Mrs. Hsggerty not to allow her children to get the mixture. The cup was left in the room where the body lay while Mrs. Haggerty showed the undertaken to the door. When she returned she saw her two year, old child with the cup in her hand. She hastened to her and found that she was too late. The mixture had been swallowed. In short time the child was dead. Both children were buried at the same time in St. Bernard's cemetery. The mother was pros- trated with grief.
 Coroner Bollman examined yesterday Dr, James M. Reilly, who attended the sick ehil- dren, and Michael Curran, the undertaken. The latter testified that on Thursday after noon he gave Mrs. Haggerty the solution in teacup, to be applied to the dead child's face and warned her not to let the children get at it, because it was poisonous. MT. Haggerty stood by at the time and heard what Mir. Curran said. About that Thurs day evening MT. Haggerty notified the wit ness that one of the children had drank some of the solution; but MT. Haggerty did not seem to think the child was poisoned, al though it had been made sick. Subsequently Dr. Reilly was notified by MT. Curran's man, and the next (Friday) morning Dr. Reilly told MT. Curran that the second child was dead. To question the physician said he did not think that the solution was the direct cause of death, as the child had croup, was sickIy and would very likely have died any way.
 Mrs Haggerty and MT. Haggerty were also examined.

 NEW AMERICAN THEATER.
 Manager Eldridge presents fine company to entertain his patrons during holiday week, and his own appearance as Judge Shears, ed itor of the Mt Carmel Bladder, in the after piece, ''An Editors Troubles" is one of the best hits of the many successful comedy roles he has assumed. His parody song on the "Dying Boys Request in the first part worked up his audience last night SO that they would not be content until he had sung eleven verses. though he had prepared but four, and the ease Vith which he impro- vised the ''requssts' convulsed his hearers John Turner's banjo playing il wonderful and gives fine illustration of the musical qualities of the instrument. Dan and Gussie Hart introduced an acting dog which added to the interest of their pleasing sketch in which they showed some fine singing and dancing. William Ripley and Miss Claudia Leslie, who is billed as the only lady acrobat in America, did some remarkably difficult feats which received liberal applause. Little Katie Hart in her songs, dances and charec ter impersonations astonished and delighted all. She is very clever for one of her years There will be an extra matinee on Thanks giving day in addition to the regular matinees on Wednesday and Saturday.
