the Board of Health of this city, and who
is at present the Chairman of the Commit
tee on Hygiene of the County Medical So
cietv, did not commit himself when asked
about the disposition of the 80 head of cat
tie used at the City Vaccine Farm. He said
lie could see no possible objection to the
use of such meat by the public. He ad-
mitted that the treatment resulted In a
blood disease which as such reached 10
every part of the animals tissues
But" said he, when the local sore is en-
tirely healed, and this can be aseertained
by the temperature of the part becoming
normal. then the blood of the subject is
purified"
He could see no possible objection to the
use of such an animal as beet. The doctor
said he would have not the slightest objec-
tion to such meat for his own table.
According to that view Of the subject

TOOK POISON AND DIED.

Pretty Young " womanGoes From NewYork
to Baltimore to End Her L:fe-A Trsge-
dy in HoteI-Few Clews to the Identity
OF the Deceased.
BALTIMORE, Aug 23.-[ Special when
the 12:4O o'clock train pulled into the Union
station to-day a well-dressed woman alight-
ed She stopped at the depot entrance as if
undecided which way to 60. Of Officer
O'Neil she asked to be directed to a good
hotel. The officer pointed to the St.
Charles, but stones throw from the depot,
and the woman went there, where she asked
the clerk for dinner. He showed her into
q private dining room.
After the dinner had been put on the
table she ordered q glass of port wine, W hen
she dismissed the waiter. He laft the room
and was out about 15 minutes Upon his
return he was startled to find her in terrible
agony and frothing at the mouth. Clerk
Whittemore, being notified, summoned Dr.
Charles Woodruff When the doctor ar
rived he found the woman in a comatose
condition, but went at once to work and
applied restoratives. She had evidently
taken poison, and in short time she had
passed away.
She appeared to be about 20 years of age,
medium height, full round face, dark feat
ures and black hair. She was a Hebrew
and her appearance indicated woman of
refinement. The only articles to identify
her were found in pocketbook. Two visit
ing cards bore the name Regina Ehrlich and
Sigmund Erhlich, and on a small piece of
paper was written, in a small hand: 'To be
buried in Baltimore"
Coroner Hill, after viewing the body,
said he was under the impression that the
woman had taken either arsenic or prussic
acid, owing to the discoloration of the face
that set in soon after death. The body was
sent to the morgue to await news from the
New York police authorities, as everything
points to the woman having come here
from that city.

details and partisanship. Its success is the
country's salvation"
T ST. Clair Thompson, the lecturer of
the State Farmers Alliance, followed in
similar strain, though addressing his re-
marks more particularly to the agricultural
element. All the addresses were listened
to with attention, but failed to create any
great amount of enthusiasm. Curiosity was
evidently more prevalent than conviction.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean Wants to Argue
With the New York World.
CHICAGO, Aug 23-The Inter- Ocean in an
editorial regarding the New York Worlds
campaign fund for use in the Northwest
will saw tomorrow that it agrees with the
World that protection to home industries is
the leading issue before the voters, and
heartily indorses the suggestion that the
campaign should be made vigorously educa-
tional, but believes that every dollar the
World proposes to spend in the Northwest
will be spent to tear down instead of build
up home Industries
Believing this. and that every voter
should be fully informed ON both sides of
the question, the Inter Ocean challenges the
World to discussion of the third plank of
the Democratic platform adopted in Chi
cago last June, and adds: 'If the editor of
the World is really in favor of an educa-
tional campaign, he can in no better way
secure the object sought than by accepting
our challenge"

Hastings has returned from his trip
through the free trade countries of
Europe, and is now in his
home in Bellefonte. The object of his
journey was to obtain data for a stumpinp
tour he intends making In the interests of
Harrison and Reid. ''The English news
papers," said he, to-day, ''are without e1-
ception in favor of the election of Cleve-
land. They have made much ado about the
labor troubles at Homestead, and place the
blame on our protection system. I have
gathered statistics showing the effect the
Mckinley bill has on Great Britain, and it
is no wonder the English are opposed to 1t.
Since the passage of the Mckinley bill
there has been no less than 27O strikes for

w. s. Mexican, General Secretary of the
Executive Committe of the State League Of

not have the slightest doubt that Grover

Mr.. Cleveland feels very kindly toward
the Democratic societies of New Jersey.
Their officers and members did yeoman
service in arousing the Cleveland sentiment
of the State, which resulted in an unequiv-
ocally instructed delegation to Chicago in
the face of the fact that nearly every leader
of promi nence was strongly for Hill The
work of the societies was under the skillful
hand of Senator Mcpherson.
'This is one of the reasons for believing
that Mr.. Cleveland will favor our conven-
tion with his presence" said Mr.. Mexican,
"but it is not the only one. understand
that our candidate will make but one speech
in New jersey and none in Pennsylvania
If this be true, our State convention will
afford fitting opportunity for deliver
ance at point SO convenient to Philadel-

A w. u. STORY.

II Is Rumored That P. A. B. widener and
VIM. L. Elkins Will Succeed Jay
Gould-wall Street Believes It-No
Denials From the iIadelphians.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23-Peter A. B.
Widener refuses to deny report to the eff
feet that he and William L. Elkins were to
succeed Jay Gould as the controlling power
In Western Union. He also refused to con-
firm the report
For some days past there have been
rumors on Wall street that big change in
Western Union was impending, and there
has been faint echo of the rumors in this
city, but it was not until Saturday last that
any definite prophecies were made, and these
were to the effect that Jay Gould was to
retire from the company completely and
that Messrs. Widener and Elkins were to
absorb the major portion of his stock and
become what Mr.. Gould has been for sew
eral years, the guiding spirit Of the COM
pany and Its stock.
When Mr.. Widener was seen by a re-
porter and questioned concerning the report
he smiled. He walked few steps about
the floor of his Office with his hands in his
pocket and then said:
''Our business Is private. I can't see
that anything we do is the business of the
public"
'Well, Mr.. Widsner, will you tell me
that the story is not true?" asked the re-
porter.
'I will not deny the story, and I will not
affirm it," replied Mr.. Widener, and he
would say no more.
Several bankers were seen. A few had
heard the report and put considerable cre-
dence in it. Others to whom the story was
new were inclined to doubt it. There is not
much done in Western Union in this city.
The stock is little dealt in outside of New
York. As is known, it is strong, steady
stock. Yesterday 1t sold at 98A.
1t is known that Mr.. Gould has been
wishing for some time to concentrate him
self as much as possible upon his railroad
interests, and this lends color to the story
that he has sold, or is to sell, his Western
Union stock, and it is believed by many
New York bankers. that the report that
Widener and Elkins are, or are to be, the
purchasers has great deal of truth in it

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Acting Sec
rotary Grant and Brigadier General
Flagler had an audience with Secretary
Foster during the morning in which
they renewed their protest against TAX
ing possession of Sandy Hook for quar-
antine purposes. They urged that it
would paralyze military operations on
the Hook and lay the entire country
roundabout liable to infection. Secre-
tary Foster made several vigorous and
characteristic remarks and the inter-
view terminated abruptly without Sec
rotary Foster reversing his action in the
premises. Among other points which
the secretary made in reply to the war
department officials, he said the stop
ping of military operations was a very
Insignificant matter as compared with
stopping the inroads of cholera and that
while the occupation of Sandy Hook
might affect few hundreds or perhaps
a thousand people around there it would
be of greatest benefit to the country at
large, and he Secretary FOSTER was act
ing for the American people.
