IT WAS A MISTAKE.
A Young Lady Takes Deadly Poison
Instead of Medicine.

Miss Bonita Gonzales, a young
Mexican lady residing on San Fer
nando street, unintentionally pois-
oned herself last Monday evening,
and but for the timely arrival of a
physician would probably not be
breathing the breath of life today.
She intended to take a dose
of purgative medicine, and in
stead took a liniment con-
tanning laudanum and chloro-
form, which happened to be near
the medicine she was after and had
the same appearance. She soon
begun to feel the effects and ply
stefan was summoned. DIR. With

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.


What the People are Saying.
GBY Col. JAS. P. NEwCoMB.l
The general public cannot refrain
from smiling when they see little
man pulled up with his own i'm
portance.
Col. Frank Grice deserves great
credit for his eXertions in making
the Jockey club a success, but it is
not an institution of such immacu-
late merit as to be above being
mentioned, not by any means even
criticised; but that is not the
point, the "Coe" has.got off his base.
The Express flippantly told it's
readers that it favored sewers but
that the people could not afford to
make the venture at this time, be-
cause they could not pay their
butcher and baker bills. All that
"Short Stops" did was to call at.
tention to this statement of the
Express and refuted it by asserting
that if we could not afford to bor-
row 100000 for sewers we could
not afford to give away two hun
dred Thousand dollars to new rail-
roads, half a million for a tourist
hotel or even to help out the live
stock show.
The truth is, the Express is very
inconsistent in it's argument
against sewers, and very personal,
which is entirely unnecessary, and
should have been avoided by a
newspaper that pretends to be
fair, frank and kind in it's dealings
with public matters.
Not only should our citizens give
literally towards the two new rail-
road enterprises, but to the Jockey
club. We need every enterprise we
can secure in order to keep our city
going. And we need a modern
system OF sewers worse than any
thing else.
The building of the sewers will
furnish our citizens the money to
carry out these enterprises that re-
quire donations Of cash. We would
be borrowing 100000 to use upon
our home enterprises, unless we
undertake some public enterprise
that will enable us to secure money
from abroad it will be a difficult
matter go induce our people to sub
scribe to anything.
1t will be using the credit of our
city to secure the expenditure Of al
least 100000, right in our midst
This money will go into the hands
Of our people and it won't be SC
difficult Col" to talk tourist hotel
and live stock shows to the people
On the other hand the defeat OF
the sewers would injure our city
beyond calculation.
The people are told that they
must wait until after the next cleo
ton before going into the sewer
business. The idea is the oppon
ents of the sewers think they cal
beat Mr.. Paschel or put in an ad,
ministration that will obey them
and if the city goes into any kline
at public improvement it will b
mud streets. If only our city had it,
credit exhausted, then there woul,
be peace and we could settld dow
to long era Of stagnation an
taxes, to end in bankruptcy an
ruin.

VERY CLOSE CONTEST.
PaWtuCket Wins Third
Game From BrOCktOn.
OFF FOR MAINE TODAY,
Ivory Released This Morning Games
For Tomorrow.

The Pawtuckets won their third game
from the Brocktons on the Dexter street
grounds yesterday before a fair sized
crowd.
1t was a pitchers contest and only nine
hits were made by both teams.
Fournier was In the box for Pawtuckets
and was very effective, only four hits, one
a home run over the left feld fence by
Corcoran, were made of his delivery.
With three balls and no strikes Fournier
put II squarely over the plate to make
the piucky Brockton catcher hit the ball
and there Is no question that be succeeded
In his endeavors. Al usual, Roach's work
at the receiving end was perfection.
Mccullough pit ched his first game for
Brockton and did good work. he was se-
cured from the Troy club.
The game was not as interesting as the
score would indicate, for the reason that
there was very little batting. Two OF the
Brockton players, Hanley and Thompson,
jumped the team and IL was necessary to
make a few changes. Flack played third,
Burke went To left field and Kelley, re-
leased by Pawtuckets, cavourted around in
the right field garden.
Moore scored a run on what should
have been an out, but Willis threw Wild
ly to O'Brien ana the Pswtucket second
bsseman made the circuit.
Ii looked as IL Brockton would tie the
score In their half Of the ninth. Corco-
rau made a single and got to third on an
out, but Fournier put on extra steam and
struck out the next two bstsmen, Kelley
and Mccullough.
The score:

DEATH IN IT'S WAKE
Cyclone Sweeps Over the
Town of kunkIe, O.
HOUSES CARRIED AWAY.
Five Persons Killed and Two Others
Fatally Injured.

KUNKLE. O., May 49, Five persons
dead, two fatally injured and several
more or less seriously injured and the de-
struction of much property Is the record
left by a cyclone which visited this place
last evening.
The dead are: Daniel Barrett, Mrs.
Daniel Barrett, Martha Dase. George
Oxinger, Myrta Dase.
Hurt: c. Cole, internally; Mrs. Charles
Cole. head crushed, will die; Jennie
Greek, head crushed, will recover.
The scene of the cyclone is a hard one
TO describe. Houses, trees and obstruc-
tions of all kinds in the path of the
storm have been carried away, and moth
lug left to mark the spot where they
stood except huge holes in the ground.
The strip devastated is about half
m lie wide and six miles In length.
The greatest damage was done about half
a mile from where it rose and passed on
east.
The building in which were Daniel
Barrett, his wife and their two grand
daughters, Myrta and Martha Dase, is 80
completely demolished that not even
portion of the foundation is left. The first
remnants Of the house are at least 100
yards from where IL stood.
Blown to Pieces.
Mrs. Barrett, who was the worst man.
gled, was carried over a quarter Of mile
and dropped in a cemetery, her dismem-
bered limbs being found about 100 yards
farther on. There was very little left Of
the womsn's body that resembled the
form of a human being. Her breast and
abdomen were rent In two, and her en-
n. a.. II
scattered broadcast through a 45-acre
field.
Daniel Barrett was carried about 40
rods from where the cyclone struck him.
His hand was torn off at the wrist and
scattered TO the winds, one leg was beaten
into pulp and he suffered internal In
juries.
Martha and Myrta Dase, who were In
%another part Of the house, were left near
where the house seems to have gone TO
pieces. Martha, the eldest, aged IL. was
apparently injured only about the head,
which was crushed in on the lsfts ide.
Mingled with blood, the younger, aged 10,
lay almost in the arms of her sister. She
died at 10 O'Clock last evening.
George Oxinger's Terrible Death.
George Oxinger, a hired hand of Bar
WHO WAS III uelu plOWluK, SAW
the storm coming and made for the barn.
He succeeded in getting his horses inside
and started for the house, which was 10
rods distant from the barn and exactly in
line with the storm. Witnesses say that
the Irian was lifted from the ground and
whirlcd into the air AT least 100 feet, and,
together with tim bers, teams and other
debris, scooped up in the rolling ava
lanche.
Oxinger's lifeless body was found about
100 yards from where il was lifted into
the air. His bones protruded from the
flesh. and his body indicates that he came
in contact with many of the fying trees
and beams.
James Whittle, another farmland in
the employ of Barrett, had a most mirac-
ulous escape. lie was in the field with n
team i'm company with Oxinger and
started for the barn. His team became
unmanageable and broke away from him,
and to that fact he probably owes his
life
