NO LEAD POISONING.

have been most dangerously affected |
of all who had eaten the beef, was
the first visited. The doctor looked
like man just recovering from O
severe spell OF sickness, and said ne
was just getting over a severe attack
Of cholera morbus.
Said he: 81 was taken sick ont at
the driving park Saturday. l had
eaten some beef and cheese and crack
srs for lunch, land during the afternoon
had taken some lemonade. / had
cholera morbus. There is no similar
ity between the symptoms of
lead poisoning and an attack
OF cholera morbus. The two
can hardly be confounded by the in
telligent physician. l had no
symptoms Of lead poisoning"
The next man encountered who was
able to shed any light upon the sub
ject, was Mr.. p. Michon, who had the
lunch counter and sold the beef. This
gentleman was naturally very much
worked up about the affair and ex-
pressed himself surprised that the
sickness of any one had been attrib-
uted to his beef.
"Why," said Mr.. Michon 81 put up
my own beef. Ii is not put into tin or
any metal vessel at all. l make it
and keep it always in a wooden keg.
1t is simply beef with saltpeter, salt,
sweet leaves and spices. 1 know ex.
actly what Is in it, for make 1t with
my own hands"
The gentleman then invited THE
HERALD representative into a room
where he prepared all his beef. An
ordinary wooden keg WAS then shown
as the one in which his beef was pre-.
pared, and in fact it contained meat
then In the course OF preparation.
"See here" said he, aud he handed q
nice looking piece of beef out of the re-
frigerator; "this Is what was left OF
the beef had at tho driving park
There's nothing the matter with it."
AS MIR. Frank Capera was one OF the
number said 10 have been poisoned
the store of Capera Bros, OF
| Houston street, was then visited. Tha
gentleman was not in at the time, bu
his brother said that Frank had not
eaten any beef at the driving park
Saturday, and that DR.. Adams, who
attended him, said he had an attack O.
cholera morbus.
DIR. Adams, Of Beall d Adams, ply.
sicians, was then called upon. DR.
|
and DR.. Moore, and said emphaticallN
that both gentlemen simply had chOl
era morbus, and that ho had never au
thorized any statement u the eifec
that there were any symptoms o
lead poisoning. DR.. Beall said tina
there had been quite q number o
cases of cholera morhus lately ant
that generally II could be traced b
imprudent eating and sometimes {,
the condition OF the stomach itself.
The only other case was negro DO,
who is known rs Zulu. AS Zulu wa
not taken sick until Sc hours after tn
beef transaction is alleged to have oc
cHrred, IL is supposed that Zulu hal
made raid on some ones cuCumbe
patch and that the usual act of tn
small boy and the cucumber ha
trGnspiTed. "Only this, and nothin
more" The cucumber still flourisho
to tackle another boy, but the owl
dence of lead poisoning are conspicu
Gus for its absence.
| COMMUNAL CONFLICTS.
This morning Just before the depar
uro Of the north bound Missouri PA
citio train, the crowd which general
congregates around the Union Dopo
platform was suddenly cleft by
woman who made for the cars at a
speed, followed by a man whose on
cited appearance BODIED no good 10 he
should she loo overtaken. With th
characteristic gallantry which IL Oh
distinguishing trait of the averag
Texas rallrOader, the trainme
rushed to her rescue an
kept back the Infatuated individus
while she got on board the cars. TIL
HERALD correspondent, who happene
, TO be on the scene, ascertained that Oh
! fleeing woman was Mrs. John Byeri
and that In parts unknown she sough
q refuge from the daily abuse and mis-
treatment of tho mai who, havin
sworn to love, honor and protect hel
had deliberately broken his mantf
oath in every instance. From whs
could be learned this stat
OF things had existed fo
some time back, and o
one occasion Mrs. Byers was CON
, PEELED TO have her husband arreste
for brutally boating her. Immediatel
after his release, however, he resume
the detestable practice and she sougf
refuge In flight, Dyers attempted
get on the train and take Off his wifi
but the Waterman at the depot took
hand in tho proceedings and sent hir
, to the right about. The train, NEAR
time, pulled out, Mrs. Byers wavin
an ironioal farewell 10 her spouse.
has since leaked out that besides Oh
lady herself, Byers will mourn the los
OF 800, Which she carried away In he
travelling bag.
CUT Down THE WEEDS.
All over the city except In the bus
ness part tho weeds are allowed
grow with q freedom and luxurianc
which bids fair TO give them full POI
session of tho place. In vain do th
sanitary officers notify the people |
conform with tho ordinance providin
, for the removal of this class of vegC
tation; their admonitions are genrall
/, disrgarded and the evil continues
increase with each day. This line {
action is especially noticeable on th
: part of those who could most easil
, do right. What Is going to be dor
about IL?
