LITTLE Rock, ARK, April 12.-In-
formation reached here this after
noon of most remarkable case of
wholesale poisoning in the interior
OF Faulkner County. Two families,
the Brownings and Hays, had a tur-
key dinner yesterday at the home of
William Browning, who had killed Il
very large wild gobblcr. While the
fcasters were sitting at the table a
tcn-ycar-old child who had eaten
some of the turkey before dinner
was suddcnly y taken with convulsions,
and before it could be carried into
IN adioining room another member
of the party was attacked with nau-
seating pains in the stomach, follow
cd by convulsions. In less than an
hour the whole party, numbering six
teen people, lay stretched on the
floor and beds, or wherever they had
fallen. a fiftccn-ycar-old boy who
was not taken so violently as the
others gavcthc alarm and the entire
settlement was aroused. Every
physician to be had was summoned
to attend the two families, but only
slight hopes are entertained of their
success in staying the effects Of the
poison. AS there was no poison Of
any kind at Browning's, where the
dinner was served, it is thought the
turkey, just before it was killed, had
gotten hold Of some strychninc in
the woods, which had been put out
for wolves.

The Enemy on the Alert.

| The Enemy on tile Alert.
The Republicans of this State, il
the present indications amount to
anything, aro certainly going to
make fight for the State. The
arrest and prosecution of Supervisor
of Registration Meighan, at Colum-
bia last week, seems only to be the
first step in movement which may
cause good deal of annoyance to
the Democracy, even if it does not
amount to anything serious.
District Attorney Lathrop has
received a communication from Beau
fort relative to the proposed arrest
and prosecution of the Supervisor OF
Registration for that county on 4
charge of not having his Office open
at the proper time for the rcgistra-
ton of voters. The District Attor-
ney now has the matter under
advisement, aud will render a dcci-
sion rs soon as he has gathered all
the facts and circumstances in the
case and given them the necessary
consideration.
1t was understood about the Gus
tom House yesterday that this action
was adopted rs part of the plan Of
campaign all over the State. The
Democratic Supervisors everywhere
will be watched closely, and will be
arrested on the smallest tcchnicali-
ties, and subjected to prosecution
in the United States Courts. If the
cases arc pushed some of them will,
no doubt, prove very interesting.
This action is in accordance with
the instructions given by E. M.
Braytoh, Chairman of the Rcpubli-
can State Executive Committee, and
it is understood that the course is in
spircd by the Republican authorities
mt Washington, who, it is said, have
organized q determined effort to
revive the party in the South, and
if poss.ole capture some Of the
States, or at least Congressional
Districts, and thus lay wcll-con-
ccived plan for heavy work in this
part of the country during the Prcsi-
dental campaign in 1885,, g. a,' -, (
ona!r,""% IT ':,.,r i5rrayton was in the city
Tsome weeks ago, ostcnsibly to look
after the appointment Of Republican
Supervisors Of Registration, but it is
known that he had conference
with some Of the local Republican
leaders during the visit, and it is
said that this plan Of procedure was
thoroughly discussed at that time.
The Republicans, or at least some
of the most prominent of them, con.
slider the party organization in this
State in better condition now than
it has been at amy time since "thc
days of good stealing" They also
consider the Democratic or rganiza-
ton weak, and are determined to
take advantage of what they believe
to be existing conditions and work it
for all it is worth.
The Republicans are undoubtedly
very active just now, although all
of their meetings and caucuscs are
held with closed doors, and their
executive sessions are much more
inviolate than those of the Unitcn
States Senate. Only the most dis
Greet and trusted men are admitted
to the caucuses, and they are always
perfectly ignorant when approached
10y any one who is not allied to them
in spirit. Numbers of conferences
have been held recently, and it is
not reasonable to suppose that moth
ing has resulted from them. - CHor-

Voting by Amdayit.

The Charleston Nctcs dists Courier
states that Mr.. Samuel r. Pointer
the chief supervisor OF elections fol
the district of South Carolina, b"s
issued q very important circular OF
instructions to the Supervisors OF
Elections in this State.
The following extracts will be OF
special interest to tho Democratic
appointccs as Supervisors of Regis
tration and Election:
"Undcr this provision of the law
you will attend at the registration
on tho first Mondays in April, May,
juno and July, and OH any other
days on which the county Supervisor
of Registration may perform duties
pertaining to the registering of voters
or deciding contested cases.
"Under the United States laws
you have the right personally to
inspect and scrutinizc the rcgistra-
ton books and detect and expose tho
improper or wrongful removal from
them of any name, or addition of
any name to the registration books"
The point on which the chief
Supervisor lays some emphasis is the
following:
"Scction 2,007, Revised Statutes
of the United States provides !:
whenever under the authority of
the Constitution or laws of any
State, or the laws of any Territory,
any act is required to be done by Il
citizen as a prerequisite to qualify
or cntitlc him to vote, the offer of
such citizen to perform the act re-
quircd to be done shall, if it fail to
be carried into execution by reason
of the wrongful act or omission of
the person or officer charged with
the duty of receiving or permitting
such performances or offer to pcr-
form or acting thereon, be deemed
and held as a performance in law of
such act; and the person so Offering
and failing to vote, and being other
wise qualified, shall be entitled to
vote in the same manner, and to the
same extent as if he had in fact per-
formed such act
"Rcgistration is Il prerequisite TO
qualify or cntitlc a person to vote,
and it Il person presents himself for
registration and fails because of any
wrongful act or omission of the
county Supervisor of Registration,
the offer to register will he deemed
equivalent to registration.
"lou will therefore keep a .ljNrG5S,l s.
all persons, wla I'M 1y5Sfi, y5Sfi,tr themselves for
registration, and who fail to register,
stating the cir, r,,,nStancrs. Unless
there is some wrongful act or omis-
sion on the part OF the county
Supervisor of Registration, there is
no violation of the laws"
The foregoing is said to be the law
on which the Federal Supervisors at
country precincts will make out the
bundles of ailidavitS on which the
usual Congressional contests in this
State are fought.
