I Wholesale Poisoning.
PHILADELPHIA, June PA special dis.
!, patch says: Exactly 214 people were
E poisoned at last Thursdays picnic near
{ Pennington, N. J. Six of these persons
will probably die, and 20 are in a preca.
rious condition. One OF the physicians in
charge of the cases has examined the ice
cream cans and says there was not enough
. snlphate of zinc about them to do any
damage; that the symptoms are those OF
r a~rsenicai poisoning. and from the fact that
those who ate of the cream escaped he is
j Of the opinion that the poison was put
into the cream by some one ~purposely. as a
{ large number Of the people were engaged
in serving the cream. II will be difficult
) TO catch the perpetrators.
