RIvALLlNe THE BORDEN CASE.
Seventeen-Year-Oid Girl Charged with
Poisoning Father and sister.
[special telegram 70 the Dlspatca.l

Sr. LOUIS, Mo-, July 27.--The Coroner
today decided that Maud Mckibbep, aged
II years, was responsible for the death by
poisoning of her father and sister and she
will be arrested. The verdict was reached
after a report by the City Chemist that he
had found in the r'sc,rd OF the deceased
ana in the food partaken by them traces OF
arsenic. copper. and other ingredients OF
which Paris green is COMPOUNDED.
The case IS one OF deep my ysterY, ana In
motive, design. and trial will surpass the
famous Borden case.
On June 2lst theMcKibben family. with
the exception of Mrs. Mchibben,. who has
been separated from her husband for
several years. partook of family dinner
at the residence of Mrs. Charles Stewart, n
married daughter, at No. 1925 north Iwen-
tieth street. Miss Maud assisted in pre-
parlng the dinner. aud was the only men,
ber of the party who did not eat dinner.
Her refusal was attributed 10 q severe
headache. Soon after the meal the
participants became violently Ill. No
physician, however. was summoned until
late in the evening. The father died at
st. Luke's Hospital two days later aud
Mrs. Stewart died June 2jth. IL was
learned that Maud had been unsuccessful
in an attempt to procure Paris green from
neighboring drugstore, and this fact,
together with the knowledge that she was
iealous of her sister, and had made threa6s
of revenge for being arrested on suspicion
of stealing money from her father, led TO
her arrest. At the preliminary examlna-
ton Maud asserted her innocence and was
released pending the Coroner's verdict.

Chairman Reeve stated that he recognized
the gentlemen from the chambers com-

As no other member of the chambers
committee desired to speak upon the qres-
tion Chairman Reeve called Mr. Grimes TO
the chair and took tho floor. He read u
paper which he had prepared upon the
Subject under discussion. 1t gave a long
list of cities and their dcatn-rates for the
past year, and tho average of life was
ahown in some of these cities to have
feached over 30 years. HIS line of argu-
nent was that the state of things for which
3 remedy was being sought did not exist,
but is made to appear by the health re-
ports furnished the government. which. he
assured his hearers. were perfectly absurd
On the face TO any one who will examine
them in the light of well-established facts
which accord with exDerience-that tho
average length of life does not in any COM
hunIty greatly exceed the estimate OBJ
Gained by statistics, about "a years.
Chairman Reeve read the following for
the purpose of showing how preposterous

morning NJ. s. Nanburen and two brothers
went to their magazine, near Samples

10 get a load n nitro glycerine for tho
purpose OF shooting an oil-well. Tho
dangerous fluid was being transferred to a
