POISON IN THE SECRAMENTAL CUP
London Times: The Siciliar journals
report the conclusion of remarkable
trial last week in CataDia. Two years
have elapsed since great crime was
committed at Corlentini. A priest nam
ed Fallia, on clearing out the pyx and
consuming every particle, tasted some
thing bitter On the termination of the
mass he was attacked by severe pains in
the bowels, end died in a few minutes in
tion proved that the unfortunate priest
had been poisoned with strychnine, end,
on examining the pyx minute'y, some
particles of the strychnine were discoy
cred. Suspicion fell upon canon of the
church, Gaetona Limoli, who cherished
great hatred against the 2eceased-a
feeling which had recently been much
increased by some promotion to be award
ed to him by the Archbishop of Syracuse
LimOli had brother who was druggist,
by whom the shop was often left to the
care of canon, who bad thus the means
of supplying himself with poison. Linn
oil was arrested and consigned to the
prison of syracuse, where be has remain
was brought before The Camera di Cosig-
liz equivalent to our grand jury of the
court of appeal Of Catania, when it was
decided that for want of proof there was
no ground for penal proceedings against
the canon. Meantime, it is beyond
doubt" says The Roma, "that the priest
Failla died of poison mixed with the par.
ticles representing the body and blood of
Our Lord Jesus Christ"

ly ard vigorous Canadian sport, is be-
coming very popular in "the States" "
There would seem to be little opportunity
for indulging in the pastime in New
York, but company of rich mems child
rem are permitted to enjoy the novel
pleasure. Inclosed by pickets of high
fence at Lexington avenue and Thirty
fourth street, the other day, a party of
children were having regular lark.
The land belongs to William FL. Wander
blt and he leased it to fifty gentlemen
residing on or near Park avenue and
Thirty-!ourth street, as playground for
their children. A high picket fence was
bull: around the land, with gates fasten
ediby Yale locks. Each family bas key,
and when the children want to 60 to the
playground nurse goes along With them
to unlock the gate. In Summer the
children play on the grass, while their
guardians watch them from rustic seats
Among the proprietors of this playground
is Arthur K Dodge, son of the late Wm
E. Dodge. Mr.. Dodge has large lumber
interests in Canada, and spends much
OF his time there. He has become an
enthusiastic tobegganeer, and receGG.i,;7; ~, no

slide in the children's playground. The
other forty nine proprietors said it would
be splendid, and so the structure was
built. 1t consists of a platform twelve
feet square aud fifteen feet high, from
which slideway, something like

they belong. Al the de of the slideway
is broad fight of steps, by which the
children climb to the platform.
1t seems that Campbell, the siockmap
who is at present herding 100000 cattle
on the Oklahoma lands. is there without
permission. Secretary Teller says that
CampbePs cattle being ordered out of
the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Reserva
tions, he was given permission to drive
them through the Oklahoma tract. He
was rot, however, allowed to stay there.
AT all seasons of the year people are
liable to contract chills and fever, and
other sorts of malarial diseases. Mish
ler's Herb Bitters is without rival in
the treatment of all complaints of this
character, as it is fer cholera morbus,
1ysentery, indigestion, etc Charles J. :
