From Eating = cooked Chicken.
The family Of Joseph e. Wood. who
rad 0 ut No. 10i West street, nearly
lost tnoir lives on Monday afternoon by
ea.iLg . portion OF q boiled chicken
and cold posatoes, bought by their o.
wear old son Johnny. The mother gave
Johr ny some change and instructed
him to 20 to Q well known place In our
oity. where they are In the habit Of
sailing of. alls OF the table alter meal
70 people who may call. The lad was
star;su out shortly after dinner on Mon
dny and called at the place. On max
ing his Grand known he Was given q
boiled chicken and lot Of potatoes,
which were placed very nicely in his
basket, something so very unusual that
the mother remarked about IL, but not
4 thought was then entertained but that
everything was % 1t should be.
The family consists OF the father,
Joseph, the mother, Fanny, and their
four chldr n; Johns years old; Nv illie,S
yrs old; Sadie, s years old and an infant
ii weeks old, 4 who was lying In the
Grade kicking up his heels and cooling
sll the time the reporter Of the REPUB-
LIcAN was present.
The mother and the three older chill
dren partook Of the chicken about At
teen minutes OF 4 O'Clock. and In less
than 20 minutes after they all became
sick ct the stomach aud began to
vomit, the little boy Johnny running
in from the street crying and vomiting

clans gave the patients such relief that
they were all out Of danger excepting

poison had taken O greater hold upon.
DR.. Baird interjected whiskey into her
system, which he has hopes will even

robust constitution.
1t is rather mysterious case, md al
thoaRh Mrs. Woods thinks her little
boy was given the poisonous chicken
purposely, We can hardly think the
lady who sold 1t TO her son would be
guilty OF such mean, revengeful act
The mother and the daughter Sadie are
still confined to their beds, but the
other two children are able to be up and
are running arouni. The symptoms
were OF an arseuioAl order, and DR..

RAILWAY GUARDs WHO oBsrRUoT TRANSIT.

The practice OF some of the guards on the Elevated
trains suggests that they take special delight in OBJ
strictlng rapid transit. An instance of frequent
currence was repeated yesterday morning at the
downtown station at Forty-second-st. the Third
ave. line A City Hall train standing there and
the platform shouting, All aboard for the
City Hail." as about hundred passengers from
the New-York Central and New-York and New-Havcn
roads reached the station. Running to the plat
forms they found the gates Of the two closed
and the guards leaning the gates while the others
open. The passengers called attention to this,
to which the guards responded with cynical smile
and a sneering reply from Guard No. $50 more In
elegant than polite. A hafminute later the train
moved on with half Of its seats empty, and the
following train. also for City Hall, crowded out
to the platforms before reaching the station.

INCREASED SALE
THE TRlBU N 9.

Customers have reported, nearly
every day Of the week, lately, that
after a certain hour In tho day,
copies of THE TRIBUNE cannot be
had from newsdeaIers near them
or from newsboys on the trains.
This is a necessary and invaria-
BILE incident of steadily increas-
inc sale Of the paper, and is aggra-
waited by the rush which happens,
every day or two, for extra copies,
containing political features Of
special importance.
The remedy is entirely within tho
customers own control. He
should buy his paper, regularly,
from the same newsboy or dealer,
or orde it served daily at his house.
The latter plan is best. During the
remainder Of this campaign, every
day will bring fresh surprise or a
new piece ofstrategy on the poIiti-
ca. field Of battle. TIE TRIBUNE
will have all the regular news and
many special features Of it's own.
Order the nearest newsdealer to
serve THE TRIBUNE atyour house.
