Destroy human Life.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29-Poisonod grapes
have stricken the family OF A. G.
Brown, shoe dealer at 420 Bedford
ave., Brooklyn. The grapes were pur-
chased by Mrs. Brown on Thursday last
from neighboring grocery and all par
took of them freely. Miss Beatrice
Brown, the twenty-five year old daugh-
ter, ate more freely than the others and
IN consequence Is yet IN n serious COM
dition, while her sister Minnie, twenty
eight years old, and their mother are
recovering from the effects. All were
taken i'll In the night with violent pains
in the stomach. Their condition at
fiGst became so alarming that the family
physician was called in, I at he was un-
able TO make diagnosis of their H.
ness for some time. He finally declared
that they were suffering from poisoned
grapes. The poison consists of cop
per coating coming from a mixture
sprayed upon the grapes IN the vine-
yard to destroy parasites. The pains
of Mrs. Brown and her daughter
Beatrice were SO severe that morphine
had to be administered to relieve them.
On Friday Mr.. Brown was also taken
i'll, having eaten the grapes on Friday
morning. Miss Beatrice Brown was
uuconclous for several hours, and it
was first feared that she would sue
cumb to the poison.

a WomAn aud Two Daughters sn cenvai-
sions from a Noise.
HAMnuRon. Conn, Sept. 29.--Mrs.
Hoiston and her two daughters, Mary
and Lizzie. aged fifteen and eighteen
years respectively. living Oh n farm
two miles north OF this place. are lying
at the point Of death as the result OF
terrible flight that they received one
night last week. Mr.. Holston deals ex-
tensively in fancy cattle. and his busi-
ness often calls hlm away from home.
Last Wednesday he went to Hartford
and was obliged to stay all night. Mrs.
Holston and her daughters were the
only occupants of the house, but in a
building across the yard slept the hired
man.
About midnight Mrs. Holston was
awakened by peculiar noise inside a
large sheet iron stove that stood at one
side of the room. The woman is of a
very nervous temperament. The
strange noises continued TO come from
the stove, and at last, wild with fear,
Mrs. Holston sprang from the bed and
ran screaming into IN adjoining room,
which was occupied by her daughters.
Under the impression that their
mother was suffering from the effects
of nightmare, the girls struck light,
and after they had succeeded in calm
ing their mother entered her sleeping
room and approached the stove So as TO
satisfy their mother that she had been
dreaming. When they drew near the
stove the noise began again, and,
thoroughly overcome with fear, the
girls sank down upon the floor, too
weak to leave the room.
The racket in the stove continued
and the frightened girls began TO oscream.
This threw their mother into convul-
sions, from which she has not yet, and
probably never will, recover. The man
IN the building heard the screams of
the girls and reached them by bursting
in an outside door. When he saw them
he ran down the road q quarter of a
mile and summoned the wife of a
nclghbor. The hired man opened the
door of the stove and found inside y
chimney swallow.
The condition of the women has
gradually became worse, until the
physicians have nearly gwen up hope
OF their recovery.

female, the latter with y diadem of five
stars; these will become part of the
main entrance from Beilevue-ave.
All the work for the driveway and
fountain is finished and in course of
erection. The big piers and banisters
IN front Of the house are treasures in
art. On the back porch eight circular
tiles, each five feet IL diameter, are
COW being prepared, and this octave
will be set at intervals In pretty square
tiles, in all over 5000 feet for this
porch. All the inside of the house is of
colored Sienna marble, imported from
France, and Numeira, imported from
Africa. Over the main stairway stand
twelve Sienna columns of magnificent
proportions, and in the dining-room
the moldings and panelings are all of
Numeira marble, richly carved and
worked into elegant groups of differ
ent styles and representations of an
cient art.
The work Of cutting tiles is quite in
teresting. Two immense double saws
are cutting up huge blocks of marble at
the rate of one and one-half inches per
hour. These are then put into q large
circular planning mill twenty-five feet in
diameter. The Railways are all IN
Sienna marble, but are draped to avoid
the weather. From present appear
ances the place will be well advanced
before the cold weather sets in to cause

Queer Census Answers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Many funny
things have cropped out In the work of
special census enumerators employed
to gather agricultural statistics. A New
England farmer, who was queried
about a remarkable low valuation put
on his farm, sums up the case: "The
farm in my locality is like mans bare
skin-he can neither sell, give away,
nor lose it." A colored farmer, whose
crop appeared surprisingly small for
the acreage, explained in q letter: at
was my year to preach last year." An
Illinois farmer has the following brief
list of reasons for the shortness of his
corn crop: GAS for my part, we had a
cyclone and it blew down my fens and
wasted great dele of il, and / bought
some hoggs and they died with the
colery, and if you want to no more
