JEFFERSONvILLE, Ind, Jan. 31--Mem-
bers of the family of August Noark, a
prominent German, of this city. are at the
point Of death as the result of poisoning by
eating pork. Shortly after supper they
were attacked by excruciating pain, and
the condition of all is thought hopeless.
Those critically i'll are the father, August
Noark, aged forty-seven, and three daugh-
tiers, Emma, eight years, Josie four and
BERTHE three. The father is in commissions

almost equally dangerous condition. AS

aid was summoned, but it is thought that
two at least will die. The matter has been
placed in the hands of a meat inspector
for a thorough investigation.
