A Strange Cse-The Result Of Eat.
ing ssewed Peaches.
On Tuesday night the family Of Pat.
rick Farron, q morocco dresser in the
employ Of Charles Baird Il Co., went
to bed as usual and were soon wrapped
in slumber. The family consists OF man
and wife, and two children aged res.
pectively 3 years and IA months, who
reside At No. 623 Windsor street.
About 8 O'Clock Wednesday morning
Mrs. Farron awoke and complained to
her husband Of feeling very sick. He
attempted to get up and bring her some
water whom he fell to the floor power
less. He ut once concluded that both
himself and wife had been poisoned In
some IN ysferious manner, and called TO
his nephew, II years of age, to get his
aunt some water. The boy quickly
arose, but ~ soon as he got out Of bed
he too fell to the floor and would have
|tumbled headlong down the stairs ifhis
uncle had not grabbed him by the feet
Thus the three laid powerless to move
and unable to summon assistance. Mr..
Farron en,leavored to reach the window
TO call assistance, but upon arriving
there he tainted away, aud it WAS not
until o o'clock that he could summon
up strength enough to make an cutlery,
| when his neighbors came in. DR.. Smith
Cooper was summoned, and upon his
arrival he found the family vomiting
and purging violently, which, no doubt,
saved their lives. The children first
recovered, and after a few hours became
apparently all right.
The mother was very sick and weak,
while the father was in a very serious
condition, he having probably indnlgel
more freely in the poisoned fruit,
which is supposed to have caused the
difficulty. The fruit referred to was
stewed peaches that had been cooked
for supper, The physician labored with
the family until about 3 o'clock In the
afternoon, and they are now considered
beyond all danger, although very
weak from the effects OF the poison.
A later investigation discovered the
fact that the nephew had been sent TO
the store for an empty box, and re-
ceived one containing a lot OF Old dried
peaches, which the grocer advised him
10 throw away. The advice was not
beeded, but the fruit was washed and
cooked for supper, with the above re-
