Poisoned by StryChuiue.

MARTINEZ, Sept 2S.-On Saturday last

Spencer of this place, suddenly died, and in

The little fellow had been playing outdoors
with other children during the forenoon
and went with his mother to neighbours
and there took dinner, of which he ate
heartily. Shortly after returning home he
complained of feeling unwell, and his mother
told him to lie down little while and he
would be all right. After lying down a
short time he arose and seemed as bright
and we'll as ever and went out into the yard.
In few minutes he returned TO the house
and complained of pain in his stomach. His
mother advised him to lie down again, which
he did. and, continuing to complain of pain.
a physician was sent for, but about forty
minutes from the time the Child lay down
he died:
A little dog with which the child had been
playing was seized with commissions and
died in short time, and larger dog on the
place also showed signs of being poisoned.
but being promptly attended 10 was saved
from death. The Health Officer issued a
certificate of burial, alleging that death was
caused by strychnine. Coroner Curry took
charge of the remains and held an autopsy,
but failed to discover any signs Of poison
ing. He also made careful search of the
yard and neighborhood in hopes of finding
the poison or signs of it; but. although the
ground was carefully gone over, and the
parents and neighbOrs carefully questioned
as 10 whether they had poison about, or had
put out poisonous bait for dogs or cats, no
trace of il could be found. This morning
the Coroner summoned jury, and after
viewing the remains of the unfortunate
boy continued the inquest until next Mon
day. 1t is his intention to have the contents
of the child's stomach analysed to ascertain
If there is poison in it. 1t is certainly very
singular case, and is causing much comment

Stanhope (alas Jack Darling, and the main
spring of all the mischief was neatly and
compactly played by Mr.. Charles Dickson,
and the same may be said of the manner in
which Mr.. Louis Mann and MIR. Robert
Edison enacted the Winters twins. A very
capital personation was that of the old
General, Rufus Stanhope, by Mr. Harry
Davenport-a fine bit of character acting.
Miss Ellen Burg as Kate Armitage,
Miss Alice Shepard as Mrs. Richard
Winters, Miss Clara Lipman as Miss Mollie
Somers, and Miss Nellie Buckley as Isabelle
Ho ward, the deceived women-folk, made
effective play with their respective roles.
One of the best scenes in the piece Is the
beginning Of the last act. when j. l.. Otto
meyer, as a doctor for the insane. examines
the General, who thinks he is haunted by
one face, and is going mad. There is an
ease and finish about it that gives the seal OF
true acting.
