Poisoned by IA Chinese Cook.

The Eureka Sentinel says that five
men employed at Sadler's ranch at
Sulphur Station in that county, mar
rowly escaped death by poison on
Tuesday night of last week. Arsenic
in large quantities had been put in
the sugar. George Woods, one of the
men, began eating his supper little
in advance of the Others and got the
worst dose of poison. 1t was the
overdose that he got that saved them
all. He noticed his tea tasted bitter
and kept putting in more sugar. A
little later nausea set in and he COM
menced vomiting. A little puppy
who Tapped what he had emitted. was
seized with commissions and died in
few minutes. This told the story
and there was great alarm among the
victims. They used such antidotes
as they possessed, and all managed to
pull through, though Woods still
looks badly. Hing Lee, a Chinese
cook, is supposed to have put the ar
senic in the sugar. He had worked
80 days on the ranch, was discharged
and came to town and was paid off.
He went to Palisade on Monday
nights blackboard and stopped at the
ranch on the way down, when, it is
supposed, he put the arsenic in the
sugar. The officers are making every
effort to have him captured and
brought back.

Raising the school House Flag.

An instructive and patriotic custom
which has sprung into existence
within the past few years is the rails
ing OF our country's flag over the
public schools, which is usually in
augurated with fitting ceremonies Of
of patriotic character.
Since the beginning Of the present
school term, the pupils of The Ely
school, heartily encouraged by their
teaher, have been anxiously looking
about to devise ways and means to
have the Starry Banner wave over
their temple Of instruction, and last
Tuesday eveing their cherished wish
was most befttingly gratified.
In the afternoon most of the stall
wart citizens of town, with Major
Treece, our County Superintendent,
as commanding officer, and Dan Nc
Donald as master of ceremonies,
marched to the school house and set
about raising fine 45-foot flag pole
in front of the building, which was
accomplished in about half an hour
to the entire satisfaction of the critical
nautical observations OF the master
OF ceremonies.
About half past six in the evening
the school children, accompanied by
their teacher. parents and our citizens
generally assembled at the school
house to participate in tho dedicatory
ceremonies. The Ely Brass Band
was there, too, and led off with "Hail
Columbia" "The Star Spangled
Banner next greeted the audience,
when the school children gathered
around the pole, took hold of the
halyards and sent "0ld Glory flying
at masthead, amid the cheers OF the
audience and repeated
-"Long may she wave,
Ger the home Of the free and the land Of the
brave
by the band. Miss BERTHE Stewart
then recited in well modulated voice
"The Flower OF Libery, )" which was
heartily applauded. The band then
rendered several patriotic airs in
excellent taste and harmonious mel
ody, which concluded the interesting
exercises.
In conclusion, we deem il but right
to mention those who took the mosi
active part and TO whom credit is due
| for the school flag. The pole, which
is very fine one, came from the head
OF Steptoe Creek, and was presented
| by Joe Newman, Ira Abbot and Harry
Jackson, who had it hauled TO ths
| school house. VIM. Erskine done the
dressing. The flag was present from
the teacher, Miss Alice Carothers
who has taken great interest in TIN
matter. The Ely Brass Band is ais
entitled to credit for the very inter
est role they took in the dedicator,
ceremonies.

Card of Thanks.

School. together with our teacher,
desire to return our thanks to those

Band, whose stirring music made the
occasion one which will be long re-
WONDERED by the
Pupils OF THE ELY SCHOOL.

ut WASN'T LOADED, -
but It Killed AN Innocent Man just
the Same.

The Phoebe Record of the Goth gives
the following particulars Of a sad &C.
cident which occurred near that place
on the Friday previous, aud which
resulted in almost instant death of an
estimabe young man:
About ten o'clock last Friday night
a runner came in from highland for
a doctor, stating that John B. Pugh
had been accidentally shot and it was
expected would die from the wound.
DR.. Crowder Immediately went out
and found Pugh suffering from a
wound in the abdomen, and which he
thought must soon proof fatal. In
the hope, however, of helping the
wounded man, and with his consent,
an operation was performed which
disclosed five punctures of the intes-
tines and ended any hope entertained
for recovery.
Ii appears that Pugh. together with
S. X. Mclaughlin and d. B. Aikey.
were in McLaughlin's cabin Friday
evening, when the conversation turned
on firearms, and Pugh asked to see
new pistol which Mclaughlin had
recently bought and which Pugh
wanted to buy. Mclaughlin went
into an adjoining room, got the
weapon. but before handing it over,
turned the cartridges out on the bed
1t was then examined and comment
ed on by all three for some time,
when Mclaughlin reloaded il, which
was not not observed by the Others,
and hung it up They proceeded then
TO clear away the supper dishes which
was about done, when Pugh asked
again to see the gun. Mclaughlin
handed it over, this time without taxi
ing out the loads, and after looking
ut 1t Pngh swung it around his finger,
illustrating how be had seen weapons
fired, then laid it on the table. Aikey,
who was sitting at the table picked
up the pistol, remarking that he also
had seen such work, when the weapon
went off, the bullet striking Pugh in
abdomen as stated. This occurred at
eight O'Clock in the evening and he
died at half-past three in morning.
Aikey and Pugh were firm friends,
and after the accident, when he knew
he must die, Pugh called all about
him TO impress them with the fact
that nobody was to blame for the in
jury and that it was purely accidental
Pugh was only 90 years of age. and
was young man of good reputation
and character, esteemed by all who
knew him.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
LIMA, O., June 2S-There died near this
CITY to-day an eccentric miser named Fred
Dengler He was born in Germany, and
came here when quite young in order to es-
cape going into the army. He landed in
New York City without penny, and at
once went to work at his trade, that of
shoemaker He worked there several
wears, and during that time met and be-
came engaged to be married. The day for
rne wedding was set, and young Dengler
was on his way to the home of his intended
when he was met by a messenger who stated
that his iancee had been married to another.
The ardent lover was prostrated for sew
eral months by the blow and when he re-
covered he came here, this place consisting
al that time of only few houses. He
bought q tract of land, which was then very
cheap, erected one-roomed hut and slept,
ate and lived there until about one year
ago, scarcely ever being seen outside of the
howell The town gradually grew, until the
miserable hut of Dengler was surrounded
with elegant residences, but he refused all
attempts to buy him out until two years
ago, when he moved his hut TO the outskirts
of town, where he continued his queer mode
OF life until his death to-day. He died
worth over $50, 900, and there is no known
heir in this country TO inherit his estates.
An effort will be made to ascertain his for
eigu relatives

NEW MoLDERs' FLASK.
A Patent That Is an Improvement Over the
Old Way,

APatent That Is an Improvement Over the
Old Way.
ALLIANCE, O., June 2s.-Frederick Baugh,
of this city, has been granted patent on a
molders' flask, which is recognized by
molders and machinists as decided i'm
proyement over anything of the kind ever
made. All molders' TASKS heretofore made
consisted entirely of a solid iron or steel
easement, or surrounding in the form of q
square. An idea of the old flask may be
gained by imagining box inches deep and
feet square, with bottom and top off, the
flask being laid over fat surface and packed
with sand The form for the casting desired
is then cut out of the packed sand, and the
molten metal poured in and allowed to
cool.
This packing and loosening the sand by
pressure is very difficult, and molders have
been for long time seeking for something
to obviate this difficulty. This Mr.. Baugh
has at last discovered. His flask has hinge
action at the corner, secured by screw bolt,
and when the metal is cooled the sides of the
flask swing. free, exposing the sand and
metal. He has already been offered large
price for the affair." which is said to be in
valuable to molders.

TAKING A VACATION.
All the Glass Factories at Findlay Closed
for the Summer.

for the Summer.
FINDLAY, June 2s-An the flint and wi A.
dow glass factories in this city, with one ex-
ception, 13 in number, put out their fires at
12oclock Saturday night and shut down for
the summer vacation, which will last until
September l. It is thought here that the
vacation will be even longer than usual, as
nothing whatever has been done in regard
to a wage schedule.
This is matter that is likely to create
considerable trouble, and the fires may not
be started until October l. The season Just
closed here has been the most prosperous in
the history of the Ohio glass industry, and
stocks have been well worked off at excel
lent figures The closing of the factories of
this city gives over 2, 900 employees long and
deserved vacation.
