Wholesale Poisoning.

PHILADELPHIA, June 24.-Exactly 214
people were poisoned at last Thursdays
picnic near Pennington, n. j.. Six of these
persons will probably die, and twenty are
In precarious condition. One of the ply
sicians in charge of the cases has examined
the ice cream cans, and says there was not
enough sulphate of zinc about them to do
any damage; that the symptoms are those
of arSenical poisoning, and from the fact
that those who first ate of the cream es-
capped, he is of the opinion that the poison
was put into the cream by some one pur-
pOsely. AS large number of people were
engaged in serving the cream, it will be off
1cult to catch the perpetrators.

A Democratic Victory.

A State which elected Republican
Governor by l 400 majority four years
ago, and which gave Mr.. Blaine a
plurality of 2,256 two years ago, now
elects Democratic Governor by 1000
majority, and enough other officials of
the same party to place the full control
of the State institutions in Democratic
hands for the next four years. The
reason for this change is plainly seen,
and, for wonder, frankly stated, by
so thoroughly dyed party organ as
the Philadelphia Press. The Oregon
Republicans lost" it says, because
the people could not approve of their
course. Their candidates aroused no
enthusiasnc, and fair platform could
not compensate for the profound dis
satisfaction caused by the party's rec
ord. The people were more willing to
trust the government of the State tenn
porarily to incompetent hands than to
indorse by their votes the control into
which the Republican organization had
fallen then" The cool assumption
that only Republicans are really fit to
govern, and that Democrats must nee
essarily be incompetent, is in the true
organ tone; but the fact is recognized
that Oregon was lost because a portion
Of the voters, who are usually Repub-
lican, would not sustain ring rule or
support unfit candidates = in other
words, constituted themselves Mug
wumps for this occasion. The fact is
attested by the election of Republican
Congressman, and of those State candi-
dates against whom these objections
did not lie.-BoSton Herald.

Huge Shipments of Wheat From India-The
Present Depression.


ST. LOUIS, June 24.-EX GOvernor T. O.
Stanard received to-day from Bruce & VIII
son, importers, of Glasgow, Scotland, a
letter on the grain trade situation in the
United Kingdom, of which tho following
are the most important extracts:
During the past week the depression
has rather Increased than otherwise in the
grain trade, and there are some
very weak points in the situation.
In the first place, the arrivals of bread
stuffs have been very heavy and in
excess OF requirements Shipments from
America have been very liberal and to the
amazement of all engaged in trsde India
dispatched last week $4,000 quarters OF
wheat. The ability of our Eastern colony
to ship such an enormous quantity at cur
rent values will tend TO revo.GtiOnize the
trade, and former experience is quite value
less in the altered circumstances of the
trade. 1t may occur that these shipments
may not be repeated. Doubtless large par
GELS of Indian wheat were sold, April
or May shipments, and the necessity
of fulfilling those contracts before their
term expired may account for such heavy
Ngures being reached.
