root beer, and the beverage was generally par
taken of. Soon after. first one and then an
other taken sick, until all were ill with
| nausea and headaches A physician admins
tered antdotes for what he thought was the
poison. 1t was supposed the sickness was
caused by canned meat that they had eaten for
supper. As for the root beer. no suspicion was
| attached to that, they had drank but little Of
it. On Friday, on pouring out the beer to
bottle it. a greenish depo sit was found III the

TALLMAN'S WORK
He Claims Pay Since Last December
from the City Hall Com

City Hall Commissioners Burke and

do and will not be able to do anything
until the Finance Board either decides to
make an effort to float the citY's bonds or
agrees to pay the contractors for work
done with bonds at psr. All the
time the City Hall Commissioners are
doing nothing aud receiving nothing for
it, there sis another gentleman con-
nected with the City Hall scheme who is
piling up a good substantial claim which
must be paid out of the City Hall ap-
propriation. This gentlemen is In-
Several months ago Tallman
was designated as inspector
but it was with great care that resolu-
tion was adopted stating that hs should
be paid only for the days he worked.
Last December Commissioners Datz in
troduced and caused to be passed a reso
luton ordering TalIman to report for
duty. Tallman left another place
at which be WAS working, and reported
for duty. AT about this time Contractor
Connolly began carting piles on the site.
He stopped when he had drawn two
thousand. Connolly then found that
he was not going to be- awarded the
contract for several months and having
other work on haud proceeded to cart the
piles away. Tallman was on hand on
both occasions. but the City Hall Com
missioners have as yet failed TO pay him a
cent. Now that Tallman has been kept
out of work for six mouths he
is looking to the City Hall Commissioners
for pay since last Decem Der. TalImau's
pay is IS per day. ana to square accounts
with him the City Hall Commissioners
Will have to give him a few bonds. A
law suit will probable be the outcome OF
the difficulty.

VOICES FOR P0STERITY,

The Pope is represented as being introduced
to the photograph a few days since aud as
being greatly impressed by the thought that by
this instrument his voice would be preserved to
be heard again ages after he is dead. This is a
great thought. although everybody is familiar
with it. We live in world so full of wonders
that we are hardly conscious that thev are
wonderful. The voice of Pops Leo Kill has
been made as lasting es the earth itself; it will
be heard to the end of time. So it will be with
the voice of Gladstone aud many of the great
of our time and in future ages the voices
of commanding men and OF wise women and
of wonderful orators and SURPRISING thinkers
and great singers will all be preserved to still
coming lime. just the statues and portraits
of such have been kept from past days to ours.
A century from now the ear attuned tc melody
viii listen to some living child of song and
of Patti or some other singer who has warpled
to the present generation.

THE RaPPls IN COURT.
Charles Says His Motherin-Law Caused
All His Trouble.

Charles Says His Mother-in-Law Caused
All His Trouble.
Justice Kimmerly had to deal this
morning with an aggrava ted case of
mother-in-law. Mrs. Cnarles Rappi COM
planned to Poormaster Hewitt that her
husband would not support her and their
two children. The Poorm aster had Rappi
arrested on the charge of abandonment,
aud he appeared in the Third Criminal
Court this morning to answer to the
charge. He said that he was willing to
support his family and had a home for
them, but his wife Insisted on
LIVING with her mother at No.
l03 Sussex street against his wishes.
His work is all in Greenville, and until
about three months and a half ago he
lived there with his wife and children.
About that time his mother-in-law pre-
vailed upon his wife to make her home
with her. Rappi didn't object, 50 they
moved their household effects to SUISSE X
street and took rooms with Mrs. Rapids
mother. Rappi and his mother-in-law
didn't agree. She attempted to boss him,
and he said that he had had one mother
to bring him up. and that now he
thought he was old enough to
take care of himself. This state
of things continued for nearly three
months, and finally the N other-ip-Ia W
