Col. j. +. Howe, general agent for the
receivers, and George Olds, general traf-
fic manager of the Wabash railroad, is
sued an order yesterday directing con-
ductors to refuse to honor any and all
tickets issued by that company from st.
Louis to Chicago prior To May lst of the
present year. This covers all unlimited
tickets issued by the Wabash company
during tho rate war between st. Louis
and Chicago in the fall of 1850, when an
immense number of unlimited
tickets were issued mt about
81, which were grcedily pur-
chased by scalpers and many other
persons who thought there was u big
Speculation ia lhon. IL Is believed that
there are about 10000 of these tickets of
the value of $4,000 or $4,000 still out.
The contemplated action oftho receivers
caused Il great connection among the
scalpers and other owners of tickets, who
had been freely selling these tickets of
late. The above is the substance of n
telegram published in these columns
Yesterday. Attention is recalled to the
matter because il transpired yesterday
that $500 worth of the - Wabash tickets
are owned by Dallas parties.

WHOLESALE POISONING

Seven Out of Family of Nine Persons
Poisoned-Three Dead and the Others
Not Expected to Live-A Neighbor Sus-
pected OF Having Placed the Poison in.
the Water Bucket.
DALLAS, TEX, JAMS
The details O. horrible crime come from,
the neighboring county of kaufman. a
poor, but honest and respectable, family
named Byrd have resided several years
past near kaufman, renters Of the farm of
DR.. Bennett, Last Thursday night one after
another of the family, beginning with the
father, was attacked with violent spasn-
like sickness until seven out OF the nine.
members were Frustrated at the point or
death. Medical aid was summoned. Ev.
cry symptom indicated poisoning, and the
treatment was for that specific kind of
sickness, emetics and other antidotes being
administered, but to no saving purpose.
By Sunday evening last the father and two
of his little daughters were corpses, and
four other members of the family were Lot
expected to live through the night. The
theory of the poisoning is that whatever
article was used was put in the family wa
ter bucket about Thursday evening,
as investigation established the fact,
that every one OF the sick had
drunk from the bucket, while the
two who were not stricken had not tasted Of
the water. Who the poisoner is has not
been thoroughly established, but farmer,
name not learned, is strongly suspected.
Tie reasons for suspecting him are that q
few weeks ago one ofsthe Byrd boys wore a.
suit of clothes of the accused without his
consent to attend circus at Dallas. He,
had young Byrd tried before justice of
the peace for theft. Byrd was acquitted
and set free. Ill-feeling has since existed,
and the accused is said on several occa
sions to have threatened TO have revenge
for what he terms persecution of himself
by the Byrds. The dead have all been kept
in the house awaiting results OF the other
sick members, that post-mortem examine
ton may be made on the bodies of all, that
the fact of death from poisoning may be
fully established and material for criminal
prosecution secured. Sheriff Wilson, who
arrived in Dallas this afternoon from kauf-
RAN, SAYS that two more of the victims are
undoubtedly dead, as they were given up
by the physicians at late hour last night.
He SAYS the affair has created great excite
ment IN the community, and the most ex-
treme feeling against the suspected partys
against whom strong threats of lynching
are freely made. He had not been arrested
when Sheriff Wilson left Kaufman this
morning, but it was probable that he
would be, or surrender to the authorities
| for safety during the day.

large force of men had been employed on
the Pittsburgh Division of the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad cleaning the snow from the
track. At cut just east of Brinton some
fifteen CT twenty men were engaged this
evening about seven O'Clock, when the
Walls accommodation suddenly rounded
the bend at Brinton, and before all the men
could get out of the cut they We're run
down. The train was stopped as quickly
as possible and backed to the scene Of the
accident, when terrible sight met the
gaze of the passengers and train men,. The
dead and dying were scattered along the
track for fifty yards. The bodies of two
neT, were found badly mangled and lie
extinct. Five others were badly injured
