Queer Case OF Arsenical Poisoning.

The public have become familiar with cases
OF arsenical poisoning from wall paper. but il
is not generally known perhaps. saws the Bos-
ton Post that the coverings of furniture, such
as chairs and sofas and the hangings used for
portieres, may also be the means of conveying
poisonous matter of the same character into
the human system. A recent case of this kind
has come to nv knowledge which shows the
insidious character of the poisoning and the
length of time which it NAV take to produce
its deleterious effec.s. well-hnown Bostonian
was attacked by sciatica. which resisted every
remedy employed by physicians to combat it.
The persistency with which it held on led to
suspicious that something in the appurtenances
of his city house might be responsible for it,
As the walls of the house were painted, not
papered. there was nothing to be looked for i'm
that direction. but an examination of the
coverings of the furniture revealed the exist
ence of large quantities Of arsenic.
The upholstery of an arm chair in which the
gentleman was in the habit of sitting was found
TO he full of this poisonous substance: the same
was true of the sofas and some Turcoman
hangings which had been made into portiere
The arsenic did not show itself, as is often the
case, in the form Of powder on shaking the arti-
cles in which it was found, but. the physicians
said, was precipitated in the form OF gas into
the room. What made the case especially no.
ticeable was the fact that the materials contain
ing the noxious substance had been in use for
fourteen years before producing any apparent
injurious effect Sciatica. of course, came rs a
result of the lowering of the tone Of the system
and would not naturally, excite suspicion of
arsenical poisoning, but nausea and indiges-
ton, which are the specific effects of such poi
sOning, were the means Of discovering ii. In
this case the throat Of the patient was not
affected, as is apt TO be the case with the VIC
Tins of arsenic inhalation.

WILL FIGHT TO THE END.
The Directors of the North British Railway
Will ProseCute the Strikers.


VIII Prosecute the Strikers.
GLASGOW. Dec. 24-An important meeting
Of the board of directors of the North British
Railway Company has been held. After the
meeting adjourned it was announced that the
company had determined to prosecute the strik-
ers to the fullest extent of the law. No trouble
expense, it is added. will be spared by the
company in its efforts to obtain redress
for what is classed rs an unwarranted inter-
ference with its business. The North British
directors nave also resolved to completely close
their railroad lines rather than yield to the
strikers demands.
The strikers have been considerably cnraged
by the announcement made today that the rail-
road officials refuse to pay the strikers any por
ton of the wages which may now be due to
them. This action. according to the railroad
officials, is taken upon legal advice, pending a
decision from the courts as to the validity of
tine contracts existing between the company
and its employees. This step is generally
classed as being most arbitrary proceeding
upon the part of the railroad authorities and is
also said to be probably an illegal one. In any
case the step taken greatly increases public SYM
pathy for the strikers. 1t ii also thought that
this action upon the part of the railroad COM
pany may excite the strikers to deeds of vio-
lence.
The Northeastern Railroad Company's board
of directors las also held meeting. 1t is
understood that these directors are trying to
arrange for a conference between themselves
and committee representing the strikers in
the hope that some understanding may be
arrived at between them by which the strike can
be terminated so far as the Northeastern road is

A GERMAN AlISER.
He Starved Himself to the Last and Left a
Chcstful Of Riches.

He Starved Himself to the Last and Left q
Chcstful Of Riches.
A typical miser died two weeks ago in Baden
near Vienna. His story is told in the New York
Sun as follows: His name was VIM. Weberex.
He appeared in Baden nine years ago and
rented the cheapest vacant house in town. 1t
had but one story and only three rooms
The first'evening after his arrival he went to
the city park and picked Up the acquaintance
of Theresa Lasch. seventy-year-old widow,
engaged her to keep house with him. and was
never known to speak with any one in the
streets OF Baden afterward. For nine years he
allowed none save her to enter the house. She
bought him the barest necessarics of life daily.
and left them on his threshold. He ate food
that beggar would reject, slept on loose straw
and paid his one acquaintance just one cent
day for her services. He never had his house
cleaned or windows washed, never changed
the straw of his bed and never had q new gar
ment while in Baden.
A few days before the beginning of his last
illness u fire burned down barn very near his
shanty. The neighbors hurried to his house
to help him save what he might value among
his apparently valueless possessions He barred
the door, however, and, brandishing old
cavalry sword behind the window. shouted that
he would burn with his house before he would
allow any one to rob him.
When he fell ill he allowed the old woman
who had brought him his food for nine years to
enter to care for him on the condition that she
would not charge him extra. He had no doc
tor, no medicine. He ordered that his funeral
be made to cost as little as IS. hungered and
prayed and died with the Lie On his lips that the
s35 he had just given the old woman was all he
had in the world In his big chest. hidden
under the floor beneath the straw on which he
died. were found $4,000 worth of coupons
1000 shares OF Belgian railway stock at 800 a
share and some $4,000 in gold, silver and
notes. A last will and testament, which the
old man had apparently forgotten, was also
found in the chest. It bequeathed to his
mother in Zierke, Germany, $1,000, and the
rest to the village.

OYSTER DREDGERS' HARDSHIPs.
Three Men Who Escaped in a Boat to rh,,
City.

| City.
Three destitute men who applied to the
mayors Office in Baltimore yesterday 70,
transportation to Philadelphia had just ar
rived from this city. where they came on
boat which picked them up ON an island near
Virginia.
One of the men told this story: October II
We shipped from Philadelphia on the schoone,
Elisha. We were told that we would be treated
well and would be left at Baltimore when our
time expired. We worked hard from early
morning till long after sunset. The captain,
we thought, would not cheat US
out OF our money, as he appeared
TO be very pious man and said
his prayers regularly every night and morning.
We were treated fairly well for short time
When we got down the bay the trouble began.
The food was poor, such no Woodworking
man could eat. Yet we bore ii ALL for the cap
tain said if we worked along without kicking
he would give us holiday Christmas. We
didn t kick.
Last Saturday night the CAPTAIN called
us into the cabin. There were seven in his
crew. He owed us different amounts, rang
Ing from Sl2 to $50. Instead of paving
what was due us, he gave each man who
would accept il 50. and then told US TO go
ashore. There was nothing left for us to do
but to obey. 1t was IL o'clock at night
The island to which we rowed had only few
houses on it. At that time Of night we could
get no shelter. and took to the woods, where
We remained until daylight. We then hailed
passing boat which took us to Washington.
We came from Washington on a train with the
money given us.
I'VE went to Commissioner Rogers, thinking
he would be able to do something for us. but az
the affair happened in Virginia waters he said
he had no jurisdiction in the matter The cap
tam has now gone to spend the Christmas hofi-
days at his home in Huntingdon Creek. Va. while
We are left In this city without means to get home
simply because he refused to nav us what he
owned us. We came to the MAYORS Office to
see if We couldn't get back to Philadelphia. Blu.
as no one here can do anything for US, sup
pose we will try and get back on q freight
train"
One Of the men. May, is an old seaman and
says he has sailed in all the waters of the world
yet IN no place would captain be permitted
to throw his crew off on an almost uninha bited
island. The other two men, Tone and Lewis.
were totally ignorant of what dredging on the
Chesapeake really meant. 1t was their first
experience. and they say they propose to make
it their last
Tone Is n handsome young man about twenty
hve years old, and had ON the remnants of a
once fine suit. He says: "A man came to me
In Philadelphia and said Let's 60 dredging.
L didn't know what it meant. but signed a con-
tract and had to go" All the men bore I'M
mistakable signs of being roughly handled.
Only one wore an overcoat. Tone claims
that his people are well off in Philadelphia.
