ARCHIBALD.

The family OF Michael Kearney, Of
Pine street, were poisoned on Tuesday
evening by eating cake in which there
was a small quantity OF Rough on
Ra;s." The package containing the
poison rested on a shelf In the pantry
and while Il was being taken on q
small quantity of 1t fell into box
containing sugar. This sugar was
afterward used in the cake, Mrs. kear-
ney not having been aware OF the pres
ence Of the poison. On Tuesday even
Ing five of the family were suddenly
taken III and DIR. Kelly was summoned.
He at once discovered symptoms OF pol
soning and prescribed for them. with
the result that they were all we'll In a
Jew hours. The sugar box was then
examined and traces OF the poison were
found.

At the council meeting on Tuesday
evening an effort was made to enforce
the license ordinance which has de-
servedly rested in obscurity during the
past three years. This ordinance has
been a sort of bugaboo to former coun-
ellis and there has never been enough
revenue derived from It to pay for the
printing of 1t. There may be some JUS
tice in demanding reasonable fee from
outsiders doing business here, but 1t Is
fiagrantly unjust to ask anyone to pay
the extortionate tribute demanded by
our present ordinance. Under Its terms
a huckster or peddler of any kind must
pay 81 a day for the privilege Of doing
business here and a butcher Is obliged
tn pay 81 per day. There are different
rates for different tradesmen. but In
no case Ia there ANYTHING like reason
able fee demanded. IF the council in
tends on collecting tribute from this
class 1t had better repeal the old and
frame a new and more reasonable Or
dinance

DROWNING ACCIDENT.
Fifteen. Ycar.Old Harold McMinn Meets
His Death.

His Death.
Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs. McMinn, of
Lincoln avenue, received the sad news
of their sons death, which occurred at
South Canaan.
Young MdMinn had just left short
time ago to spend a week with his un-
Gle. W. H. Moore, and the news Of his
death has nearly prostrated his par
ents. MoMinn, in company with an
other boy named Rockwell, had gone
TO small mill pond nearby, where they
went in swimming. The pond, with
the exception Of a channel which runs
through 1t. Is not deep. McMinn could
not swim, while Rockwell was not good
swimmer. McMinn did not venture
from the shore but contented himself
with remaining In the shallow water.
Suddenly, however. his. companion
heard a cry, and turning, was Mortified
to see him sinking. In some way he
had stepped off in the deep channel.
Rockwell was frightened. but did all
he could to rescue the drowning boy.
He could do nothing. though, as he was
too poor swimmer to attempt to reach
him. His cries reached the ears Of Mr..
Moore, who was working in the field
at some distance from the pond, but
he paid no attention to them at first,
as he thought they were foolng Soon,
however. he thought something must be
the matter, and he hurried to the place.
Here he was told what had happened
by Rockwell and together they brought
the already drowned boy to shore.
The body was taken to the home Of
his uncle and a messenger sent to the
boys parents, who were nearly heart
broken by the shock
The remains were prepared for burial
by South Canaan undertaken and
were brought to this city yesterday
afternoon.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock. Rev. Charles
Lee. of the Presbyterian church, will
conduct the services. Interment will be
made in Maplewood cemetery.

HOMES OF RIVER PIRATES.
Caves In the Mountain Sides Are Watched
with Awe by LonEshoremen.

with AWo by LonXshoremon.
Along the west shore of the Hudson
river, between West Point and Esopus,
according to the New York World,
there are several sidehill openings that
are supposed to lead into big recesses
not yet explored. Daring men have
made h attempt to discover the inte-
rior, but have been frightened into a re-
treat by all sorts of imaginings.
At Marlborough, Highland and in the
famous Storm King mountain, ut Corn
wall, these rocky openings are watched
by longshoremen, who have a to
believe that valuable property is con-
tanned therein.
A Cornwall fisherman says he be-
lieves hat one of these caves, near the
foot OF Storm King, is the rendezvous
OF a gang of New York thieves, who re-
ceive and dispose Of their ill-gotten
stock on a strict mercantile basis. He
remembers that about the LIST of April
he and his father saw a small boat, in
which were four men, put ashore at this
point. 1t was an inky black night, and
1T was not safe for small craft in the
wind-tossed water of Cornwall bay.
The fisherman watched the landing
"ho 90" JIG COIupduy, VINO were O1S-
tlnguished by the lanterns they carried,
work their way up the mountain side.
About twenty minutes after the landing
the lights were lost sight of at a point
about one hundred feet from the
waters edge.
The supposition is that these men
entered one of those mercantile caves
TO make ready for the years business.
No one has ventured near the place,
although several hunters say that there
is an opening at the spot designated by
the Cornwall man. 1t is believed that
this cave is the main resort of river
pirates and robbers, who plumber in
the Hudson river valley, and if so
there is considerable danger attending
a visitation to the locality.
This site is particularly lonely and
deserted. 1t can be located by passen-
gers on the day boats as they are pass
ing. 1t is about three hundred feet
west of the place where an attempt
has been made to quarry stone for
crushing, and to reach it one must run
h risk of being bitten by the most
poisonous snakes.

MALAGASY
Great Care Taken in Preparing the Sim
pic Food.

Great Care Taken in Preparing the Sim
pie Food.
Cooking being an art, every ace has
a style of its own. The Malagasy, like
the gentle Hindu, knows how to pre-
pare his mess of rice, says the London
Telegraph. 1t is not boiled to a mash
as In England, or rs our potatoes are
sometimes pulped, but, covered with n
proper Suili2icucy of water, is carefully
treated until the grains are swollen fit
to burst and yet remain full, intact,
soft and rather mealy. The manioc
root is an easier dish to D It is
sometimes served boiled, as vans and
sweet potatoes, and again as a sort of
cold porridgc. Native coffee thew un-
derstand how to make, and the aroma
is excellent; but tea, alas! you have to
look to the brewing of that from start
to finish if you desire a drinkable cup.
Poultry and game are eaten fresh, and
the cooks have a clever and withal
cleanly trick of dipping the dead ami
mails in boiling water, which enables
them to pluck them easily and quickly.
The preparation for trusting comes
later. There is no lack of variety at a
Malagasy table, but, all the same, you
miss the wheaton flour bred, sugar
and condiments when cloyed nth rice,
fowls, manioc and eggs. Lie staple
fuel is bunch grass, which " n dried
burns fiercely, and settles il. a glow
ing ember that gives off q dc E: If heat.
All the cooking is done o. ,arthen
hearths, and the roasting, L ng and
baking in big iron pots. TIL. rass be-
ing slightly aromatic, the & r is as
agreeable as that of a hardvu / fire.

Too Mean to Live,

During the silver excitement in Gil
pin county, Col, before Senator Tel
Ter asplred to the toga, a Mexican was
arrested for robbing the sluice boxes.
1t was not the first time this Mexican
had betrayed this sluice box weak
ness. 1t was readily decided to be
the proper thing to hang him. Tel
Ter took a prominent part in the de-.
bate which preceded the Mexican's
stringing up. He said he very much
regretted the suspension of this Mex
lean, but. like the rest, he was in favor
OF it. Teller wanted to give the
doomed man a chance to pray, but
the Mexican declined, and Teller
started in to give him what the min
ers called "a good send off," After
accounting the mans crime as an ex.
cuse for the hanging, the petitioner
sad: This man is unfit to live: he
cannot associate with honest people:
ne Is an outcast. the very worst man
IN Giipm county-and, SO, oh, Lord!
take him to myself"
1he Mexican was then hanged.-Ey.
