MRS. O'HARa IN CUSTODY
Under a Charge of Poisoning
John Henderson
SHE is RELEASED ON BAIL
She Admits Giving the Cake, but Denies
Any knowledge Of Poison
F. W. Strange swore to the Warrant-He
Insists the Woman Deliberately Tried
to Kill the Children

A warrant charging Mrs. Elizabeth
O'Hara with murder was issued by Dep
uty District Attorney Williams from
Justice Youngs court yesterday afternoon
at the instance of +. w. Strange.
Mrs. O'Hara is the woman who gave
poisoned sponge cake to Johnnie Hender-
son, Eddie and Stella Strange, from eat
ing which the Henderson boy died. From
the start Mrs O'Hara has freely admitted
that she gave the cakes to the children,
but has strenuously denied that she knew
they were poisoned. Equally strong have
been the assertions of some OF Mrs.
O'Hara's neighbors that she did know the
cakes were poisoned, and gave them to
the children for the purpose of killing
them.
When Johnnie Henderson died and lit
tie Eddie Strange, his compa nion,. lay
near the gates of death, the father OF the
latter boy demanded of the police that
Mrs O'Hara be arrested. He asserted and
brought neighbors to prove that the old
lady had frequently threatened the chill
dren, but Chief Glass decided that he
would not arrest the woman except upon
a warrant, Mrs O'Hara is a woman 20
years of age and very irasclbie, ana III
times gone by undoubtedly did threaten
the children playing about her house, but
she has been gone for about a year, and
upon her return she seemed to have re-
covered from her 'crankiness, as 1T IS
called, and was pleasant to the boys and
girls of the neighborhood.
Whether or not this pleasant humor
was assumed for the purpose OF revenge
which some of the neighbo charge, re-
mains to be proven. Other neighbors, say
the old lady is not responsible and others
say she is a mser but woman who
would not commit a crime.
At any rate, armed with the warrant
Constable Yonkin went out to Mrs.
O'Hara's house and arrested her, bringing
her into court. The old lady had been

Paine's celery compound is found to
best supply the great need of studious,
sedentary people. Its extensive use by
brain workers. both men and women,
suffering from sleeplessness, indigestion,
or other effects of deficient nerve force,
shows it's ability to feed tired, emaciated
nervous tissues. Nothing else has ever
possessed anything like the power of
Paine's celery compound to restore
healthy nervous tone to the entire body
and to thoroughly cleanse the blood.
School teachers, professional men, news
paper men, ministers, public officials,
men whose daily outlay of vitality, be-
cause of hard trying, anxious work, is
excessive, find renewed strength, not only
of the nerves, but, through their healthy
action, of the entire body, in Paine's
celery compound. It's use shortly dspes

grave mischief that comes from disordered

Perhaps you would not think so, but
a very large proportion of diseases in New
York comes from carelessness about catch
ing cold" says DR.. Syrus Edison. 1T is
very few people, unless it is case of
pneumonia, pay any attention to cold.
New York is one of the healthiest places
ON the Atlantic Coast and yet there are
great many cases of catarrh and consump-
ton which have their origin in this neg
day life. The most sensible advice is,
when you have one get rid of it as soon
as possible. By all means do not neglect
it," DR.. Edison does not tell you how to
cure a cold but we will. Take Chamber

prepared for some such action and made
no trouble. She was taken into Justice
Young's court and arralgned, notwith-
standing the charge was murder, bail in
the sum of $4,000 was allowed her. This
she gave and was released.
Mr.. Strange bases the warrant to which
he swore upon the testimony of his little
boy Eddie, who up to yesterday had not
sufficiently recovered from the effects of
the poison to tell coherent story. The
tale told by the boy, according to his
father contradicts Mr.. O'Hara' S story told
at the Coroner's inquest in all it's essen
tial points and deepens the mystery sur
rounding the case. 4
Coroner Campbell will resume the in
quest as to the cause of Johnnie Hender-
sons death on Monday and at that time
it is expected the Strange boy will be well
enough to take the stand under oath and
tell what he knows of the case.

A Florida Orange Grower


Thomas Morehouse, Florida orange
grower and shipper, who has been buy
ing oranges in Southern California since
the loss of the Florida crop, having been
requested to address the meeting, had
prepared the following paper, which was
not read for lack of time:
In response to call made upon me to
tell you what | know OF Florida, her re-
sources and recent misfortune, and the
effect it will have upon the exchange
movement in Southern California, will
state that | was in Florida when the first
damage occurred, December 18th. The
frost was general all over the state, cover
ing the whole territory that grows citrus
fruit south TO Punta Gorda, on the Gulf
coast, TO Lake Worth on the \ tlantic
coast; thermometer ranging from % down
to y above zero, running the balances of
the orange crop that was on the trees at
that time, amounting to 80 per cent of
the whole crop for the year, killing young
orange groves, grape fruit and lemon trees
10 the ground, and cutting back old
groves TO u great extent Warm rains,
followed by warm weather Immediately
afterward, started new growths, and on
February to 8 another cold wave struck
the state, thermometer falling in many
places as low as II above and cutting
everything, both vegetables and fruit
growth, to the ground; snow falling to a
depth of several inches in Tampa point
previously supposed to be almost exempt
from frost.

the conditions confirm the worst reports.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Change.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-Greater receipts from the northwest and in consequence thereof today. Minneapolis and Duluth reported in spections of 1764 cars this morning and at the opening of the market prices immediate ly declined. A report was in circulation that 2500 cars were on the track at Minneapolis awaiting inspection, and there seems to be no likelihood of even a temporary cessation of arrivals of spring wheat Later in the day Bradsreet reported that the world s available stocks had increased 2,209oO bush els. This was the signal for another weak spell Before the close a slight recovery took place, but at no time during the seS- sion was yesterdays closing prices even touched. The business today was of very quiet and unimportant character, the ex7 peoted report restricting any advance, whilst the yacht race tempted many brokers from the pit to the bulletin board December wheat opened from 59B to 59c. sold between SRgsH and 5Ssa5Sa5c closing E. at Sa 5SsGtSSssc , weak and 12MSc per buShel lower
 Corn-The undertone of corn was firm, but that did not deter prices from sympa- thizing with those of wheat to some extent. The deprecia tion was not of great amount, However, and the close was practically yes ferday's figures The bulls and holders of ernment report would afford them some as sistance this afternoon. Shorts were evil dently disposed to leave things alone, and as Ihere was no particular interest either way Hhe market remained in a passive state. Cables were quiet and unchanged. Brad streets reported decrease in stocks of iJZt,UUu DuSIelS May GOTH OpeIleu at zJ1Sc, sold between 293sQ291s and 29s4c, closing at i2gqsc. a shade under yesterday. Cash corn Mas firm and A@1sc per bushel higher early Sn the day, but nominal at the close, which vas easy.
 Oats-The market for oats was of de- esutory kind. It might be said that the ac- h,on of corn governed prices changes, but tven with that influence the rade was so a-ght as to have scarcely any evenness. Gradstreet's reported a decrease in stocks Oi l6p00o bushels. May oats closed Ac under Yesterday Cash oats sold at steady prices.
 Provisions-It case of assertion in products The business was of no mpor- tance whatever and the traders displaying very little concern. At the opening the weakness of hogs and of wheat exercised an influence, prices declining all around. Later there was no trade large enough to cause either recovery or further break. Octo- Der pork closed 5c lower, October lard 7lac lower and October ribs 25c lower.
 The domestic markets were quiet and lower.
 The leading futures ranged as follows.

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Sept. 1o.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton advanced to points, lost this and declined to 10 points, recoV- cred this and then advanced to 10 points and then reacted and closed barely steady 307,6OO bales. The bureau stated the condi- ton at 7c.3, against 77.9 month ago, S5.9 a year ago and 73.4 at this time in 1893. The decrease in: the crop is z6 within a month, and 1t is 15.1 lower than a year ago. Liver pool was easier on the spot but without quotable change, the sales being 6J0O bales; points, then reacted points. and finally closed quiet at net decline of ? to 2Is points. New Orleans declined Il points, but recovered this and advanced Il to l6 points, but a part of the rise was lost later Dry goods were less active. Spot cotton was steady and unchanged with sales of S7S
 The port receipts were 9191 bales, against 2S30 bales this day last week and B, ,55S bales bales against 6l59 bales thus far last week.
 The southern spot markets were very firm and higher. Memphis advanced 1-16c, Mo bile, Baltimore and St Louis kc and New Orleans 3-1Gc. New Orleans sold 4O00 bales. Receipts there tomorrow are estimated at Wednesday and 3GiS bales on the same day
 Today's features: That bureau report was sophistry to read anything else into 1t but decidedly bullish meaning. Some may think it altogether too strong, and especially as 56, but taking the report as a whole. it was just about what the more radical wing of the bull party had expected. There was, however. considerable liquidation at one time and for while prices receded, but later on wave of buying orders raised the price easily. Shorts were buying and so wore outsiders. The drought in Texas and Ten nessee continues, and no rain of any conse- quence is predicted for the states during the next thirtysix hours. Wall street has been buying very heavily of late. Cotton is admittedly the most popular market at the moment down town. Europe is understood to have bought more or less and in spite of the heavy advance during the last few weeks the market still responds more read fly to bullish than to bearish news. The re- ceipts from the ports were compara lively liberal, everything considered. especially was not only early but the largest on record, but the crop conditions dominate the mar ket. The Texas condition within d month has been reduced b per cent, the poorest in fifteen years in this, the most important cotton territory, in the world
