ATLANTA, GA, June 81. z. Gwinn
to-day obtained a verdict against the
Williamsburg City Fire Insurance COM
pany and VI. W. Haskell, its agent, under
circumstances which seriously reflect upon
the agent. Gwinn's store was badly dam
aged by fire some time ago. On looking over
his papers he missed one of his insurance
policies, but remembering that it had been
turned over to Haskell that an entry might
be made upon it, he called on the agent to
produce the document. The latter denied
knowing anything about the policy, and re-
heated the denial when Mr.. Gwinn, return
ing, produced the check for the premium
money paid upon it and renewed his demead.
On the trial evidence was produced, showing
that the policy had been sent to Haskell to
have the entry made upon it and that it
was seen in his hands after the fire. 1t was
also stated on oath that Haskell remarked:
G him, he set the house afire, and we'll

A SUBTLE POISON.
What Ptomaine Is and the Foods II
Turks in.
From the Ne,c Orleans picon,,n.


From the Nelc Orleans Picayune.
Three recent cases of poisoning by some
mysterious agent have called public atten-
ton to a subtitle and most virulent form of
poison but recently discovered by the medi-
cal profession. "Ptomaine" is the name
given to this poisonous agent, which is even
at present but little known. Ptomaines &C.
cording to accepted theory, are aIkafoids
generated during decay, and closely resem-
BILE the vegetable alksloids, but owe their
origin to the putrefaction of animal matter.
While some ptomaines are very poison
Gus, others are admirable antidotes TO
known poisons. They are usually produced
in substances which, after brief exposure.
have been shut away from the air, as in ali
kinds of canned goods, or, more properly,
timed foods; in sausages, the skins of
which keep the air out; in the viscera and
in buried corpses. There is no subject
in toxicology, or the science of poisons and
poisoning, which is just now of SO much in-
terest to professional men.
1t has been scarcely ten years since the at
tention of PSYCHOLOGISTS was attracted to
ptomaines. Yet the researches of Selmi.
who discovered and named ptomaines,
throw curious light upon the obscurest
pages of the history of poisoning, those
which relate to the mysterious and fasciuat-
ing exploits Of the Italian PRISONERS of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, It is
now believed, indeed, that the ptomaines
figured potently in their noxious prepare
tions; because in Italy, according to tradi-
Ferugtd was a secret compound, prepared
by rubbing white arsenic into the flesh of a
pig and collecting the liquid which dropped
from the flesh.
