FATAL WEDDING FEAST
Three Guests Are Dead, and
Over Eighty Are Ill.
THE DISEASE A MYSTERIOUS ONE.

The Meats Served at the banquet Were
Kept For Four Days Before Being Eaten.
Guests We're Not Stricken Until Three
Weeks after.
SABULA, Ia, oct s--The singularly
distressing illness among the guests at the
wedding Of John Taplaw and Anna Gage
Is still occupying the attention Of the
medical fraternity of this and other cities,
but So far no physician has been able to
correctly diagnose the disease. Three
deaths have occurred, and so persons are
confined TO their beds and several Of these
are not expected to live.
The dead are George Bryant Sterling,
HIS. Florence Walker and --- Flake.
Those not expected to live are S. n.
Day, mayor of Sabula James Dynes,
Mrs. James Dynes, William H. Bernor.
Mrs. W. II. Berner, j. ID. Gage, John
Taplaw, DIR. Alaskery, d. A. Newsome,
W. ID. Scarborough and Mrs. Scarborough.
The popularity of the disease is causing
great apprehension and is attributable to
the failure of the physicians TO successful
ly combat it. Its similarity TO common
forms Of poisoning and it's imperviousness
to all antidotes and usual remedies is a
puzzler.
Disease Resembles Trichinosis.
Some Of the victims show every symp-
tom Of trichinosis, yet the ordinary treat
ment fails TO eradicate the disease or allay
the fever with which it is accompanied.
Others appear to be afflicted with pto-
maine, and the antidotos administered in
cases of mineral poisoning have not the
slightest tendency to check the illness.
The fact that most Of the victims were
not stricken until three weeks after par
taking of the wedding feast furnishes an
othor surprise to the physicians There
are 25 cases in Sabula. In the surround
ing country Of jackson county are 90 or
80 more patients. The symptoms are alike
in every instance.
1t has trnnsprod that after the meats
which were served at the wedding feast
had been cooked the wedding had been
postponed for four days. Between the in
teryal of this postponoment and the mar
riago the weather was very warm, and

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has for a long time tried to have a fer

of an ordinance in New York prevented
the accomplishment of their object.
A few days ago the company was no.

and the work will at once begin of

General Superintendent f.. Wolcott
Jackson was seen by a News" reporter

the boats would be running. He said
that no definite plans have been pre-

vice will commence

mer is ended the service will be in force.

Inspector Fitzgerald of Chicago discharged
Mary Ann Boyd and Morris Cottingham,
VIII were arrested in that city for the rob
berry of about $500 worth of property out of
Samuel Hemingway's house on Cottage
street, where they were employed.
The chief told Mr.. Hemingway that he
would have to advance sufficient money to
secure the extradition of the prisoners until
such time as the county would refund it.
Mr.. Hemingway promised to advance
the money, but up to last night he failed to
respond.
The chief had a consultation with Prose-
cutor Winfield and the latter announced
chat he would not authorize the sending OF a
man to Chicago for the prisoners. Mr.. Hem
mingway's stand settled the case with the
chief and he telegraphed to Chicago to dis
charge the prisoners, as they would not be
e~xtradicted. The chief went further and
advised that no assistance be rendered in re-
covering the stolen property.
The chief was mad to think that Mr.. Hem
mingway would try to use the police to re-
cover the property and not be willing to as
sist in the prosecution of the thieves. No
