The statement has been officially
authorized that the policy of the I'd.
mlnistration will be to appoint colored
Democrats to positions from which
colored Republicans are removed
This principle will apply j, is said, to
positions of all classes, but will not be
without exceptions. Where a colored
Democrat is especially fitted for posi-.
ton vacated by white man, he will
be appointed, and to some positions
now occupied by colored men there
may be conclusive reasons why
white man should be appointed. Ii is

DRIED-BEEF POISONING.
One Woman Dead md several Persons
Very ~.

feff
A Kankakee Qll.) special says: Re-
ports from Momence, where the whole
sale poisoning from dried beef occurred
last Saturday, are that Mrs. Shronts
has died from the effects of the poison
Mrs. II. Worcester is lying very low, as
is also Mrs. A. Cullon, Miss l.. Burton,
Miss Lille LOCKER, and Mr.. Z. Gle
bault. About forty others are Sc
riously i'll. Eighty-four persons were
affected, but many have partially recoy-
cred. The beef which caused the trouble
was sold by butcher lIoag and pur-
chased by him Of Rice's Butchers Sup
ply Company Of Chicago. 1t was put
up in a canvas cover, labelled with the
packers name, and appeared to be very
fine beef. The first symptom Of the
poisoning was feeling Of cramp in the
bowels, followed by vomiting and purg-
ing. The cramp followed after this,
and the patients suffered intense pain,
so that hypodermic injections had to be
given to quiet them. This was fol-
lowed by nervous exhaustion, which,
in the case of Mrs. Shronts, ended in
death. DR.. II. NJ. Keyser, the only
local physician who is able to
work, made microscopic examination
Of the beef and found it filled with
species Of trichinG. pointed at both
ends. A sample was also sent to DR..
Hayes, of Chicago, to inspect. The
beef was somewhat decomposed when
it was dried, and went through pecu-
liar process, which was claimed to make
il as good as fresh beef. Momence is a
town Of about 1000 souls, situated
twelve miles east from Kankakee, on
the Kankakee river, and is near the
Kankakee marshes on the east. There is
usually more sickness at that place than
anywhere in the county. A member
Of the State Board Of Health passed
through Kankakee on his way to Mo-
mence this afternoon to investigate.
Those reported to be improving this
morning are worse this evening. and
word from there says more deaths are
expected during the night. A dog was
experimental on with dried beef yes
terday morning, and died before night,
being affected in the same manner as
the persons eating the beef.
-Four or five Of the persons i'll are in
a critical condition tonight. A consul
tation between DR.. Alley, of the State
Board of Health. who has just arrived
from Springfield DR.. Ellis, ofKankakee,
and DR.. Keyser, of Momcnce, was held
this evening. 1t was agreed that the
malay which manifesteditSclclast We'd
nesday was due to animalculn in the
dried beef, and the treatment will be GOV
ernedaccOrdingly. The symptoms at first
were identical with cholera-morbus,
and the sufferers were treated for that
disease. \ member Of the Rice Sup
ply Company admitted tonight that
his firm sold to Butcher Schramlin the
dried beef which has poisoned so many
people in Momence, but said that they
bought the meat from a man named
Brougham, and supposed it was good.
Brougham denied pOint-blank that he
sold the Supply Company the meat.

THIRTEEN DEFIANT MEN.
Oae OF Them Declined, However, /" Pace
Under a Ladder.
New York Herald


Thirteen covers were oyinously
spread last evening ia the bsaqueting-
room Of Morclli's, No. 3 west Twenty
eighth street. The engraJing-wosk
upon the menus represented > gsuows,
upon whose cross-besm was inscribed
the legend, "1oriari fe Sslnfanass.
Perched above this gallows was an EVIL,
wide-eyed and gsoulish, al whose side
was a midnight cat, whose feline fes-
lures were illumined by a fssocious
and sarcastic smile. In word. it WAS
a dinner of the Thirtsen Club, and
thirteen members were about to sit
down to the forty -second dinner Of the
organization.
These members whs were thus pre-
pared to Ease the dinner and the proba-
blities Of sudden death, were Justice
David MeAdam, chief ruler; General
Charles Roome, Mr.. Claudius Roome,
Mr.. Edward L. Wilder. Mr.. Robert Ky

liam II. Hope, Mr.. Henry A. Heiser. Mr..
James r. Truax, Mr.. George +. Vogel,
Mr.. John Il. Perry, M. William Ben
nett, and Captain William Fowler.
4 slight disturbance in the pro-
ceediDg, occurred when the party
assembled and prepared to march
into the banqueting-room. Captain
William Fowler was suddenly seen to
sink back as he approached the en-
trance and fall out Of the line. There
was look of horror upon his face, and
his eyes were fixed aftrlghtedly upon .
suspended ladder, under which all were
to pass. He declared that he was pre-
pared to sit down to table Of thirteen
banqueters, but he would not tempt
fate by passing under a ladder. Per-
Suasion having been vanity tried upon
Captain Fowler he was finally permit
ted by vote to stink into the banquet
ing-room by a side door. Then the
( thirteen ate and drank aud tod weird
| stories till after midnight.
