FEAST OF POISON.
Tragedy Caused by Pt0maine of
Chicken Cholera.

The cause of the poisoning which caused
six deaths at tie Herr-Sno0ks wedding in
| st. Louis several weeks since has at last
/ been settled. 1t is the ptomaine of chicken
cholera. fowls infected having been used at
the wedding. When the tardy Coroner
| finally took up the case he placed the scien-
| tific investigation in the hands Of a commit
| Zee from the faculty of the medical college
of the University of Louisville, consisting of
Drs. Cottell. Goodman and Howard. To
these experts were committed the stomach
of Mrs. Guthrie, one of the victims, and por-
tons of the food used and every facility for
studying the circumstances surrounding the
case were given them. They began to work
two weeks ago and to-day Ii was practically
completed, although it has not been put ia
shape for the Grand Jury. At the be-
ginning of the investigation it was as
certaned that the chickens and tur-
keys on the Herr farm were suffering
with cholera about the time of the wedding
On the day before the wedding several
fowls had died of the disease. The servant
was On this day instructed to kill a turkey
gobbler and prepare it for the feast of the
following day. When the servant went to
the barn-yard she found that the gobbler
was dead. She then took a turkey hen
which showed evidence of being affected by

served in a similar manner. After cleaning
one of The chickens the servant discovered
that the flesh Of one of its legs was black,
and also that other parts of the body showed.
signs of disease. Instead of throwing the
evidently diseased chickens away the cook
simply cut off the leg and the other discol-
0red parts Of the chicken and placed the rest
in the pot. This gave the investigators a
clew. They had all along held the theory Of
ptomaine poisoning, but had been unable to
establish the nature of the ptomaine. They
now suspected that the ptOmaine resulting
from chicken cholera did the deadly work.
The theory of arsenical poisoning was eX-
pl0ded when it was aSceTtajned that none
Of the guests had shown evidence of Illness

the meal, whereas, had they been poisoned

The germ of a disease produces ptOmaine
peculiar to that disease. The germ of
chicken cholera is known as bacillus cholera
galllnarus. The resultant ptomaine has
never been isolated.
The experts examined several chickens
which had died of cholera, and found the
ptOmanes. The chicken salad left over
from the wedding feast was then analysed,
and ptOmaines Identical III appearance anu

The analysis of Mrs. Guthrie's stomach

found in the defunct chicken and in the
salad.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Through London paper Mr.. j. L. Kes-
ner Of the Fair has just been apprised Of the
death of Mrs. Elizabeth Pack, who was in
deed the mother Of large family, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean. Her funeral took
place from Fashion court, Spitalfelds,
England, on Wednesday, May 9th, and was
made up almost entirely of her descendants,
although the funeral cortege was Of remark
able length. Mrs. Pack was 90 years Of
age at the time of her death. Not only was
she remarkable for the large number of di-
rect relations she leaves behind, but her
lie. habits, aud idiOsyneracies are Of uncom-
mon interest
She lived for over ffty-three years in the
same house in which she died. Her hus-
Danq died shortly after she took up her
residence at Fashion court and she has
consequently known it only as her widow

she was the mother of eleven children. five

husband left her but little money, but as
several OF her children were grown up al

did not seriously affect her disposition, and

mental Association.

A good deal of interest is being felt in
the coming meetings of the 1ranscon-
tinental Association, announced to take
place in Chicago on June 9Th and 18th, re-
spectively. Several important propositions
win be discussed-matters in which large
number of people outside of the railway
profession is interested. There has been
widespread dissatisfaction among shippers
of canned goods, dried fruits, raisins, etc,
with the advance in rates made by the asso-
citation at its meeting ON January 22d. AT
the meeting referred to the rate en- canned
goods was advanced from ST. to 81 10. and
on dried fruits and .raisins from 81 40
to 81 80.
Shippers do not consider this a Just in
crease, and many petitions have been adj
dressed to the association asking a restora-
ton OF former rates, wherefore it is a safe
prediction that the revision asked will be
granted. The question of passenger rates
Will also come up for consideration, and
while the tendency for increasing this class
OF charges is strong, it is not thought proba-
BILE that the next California rate sheet will
show any increase In first or second-class
rates, In view of the recent heavy advance
quoted by the association in its issue for
April and May. Excursion business as now
conducted is not at all satisfactory to the
association.
1t will not be surprising If this method of
handling overland travel IS abolished alto
gether. The system in vogue of sending out
weekly excursions is considered a losing
proposition, inasmuch as the cars on the re-
turn trip are brought in empty. Again, tue

ticket agencies is concerned, will probably
receive an obituary notice at the hands OF
the association.
