boat blew Gueymard arose to go to meet
her, and as soon as he was few feet away
from his party a shot was fired. 1t was
from shotgun loaded with all sorts Of
missiles, and the load struck him full in
the brow, tearing his head from his body
and killing him instantly, besides wound
ing Mr.. Robert Espenard, New Orleans
engineer, in the arm. Mr.. Gueymard had

BRlDGEToN, N. j., Aug, 1O.-The mem.
bers of the Frazier family, who were poi
soned by something supposed to have been
contained in their food are now all out
of danger. Nothing has yet been dscov-
cred that could explain the poisoning A
supposed clew was found in the fact that
one of the girls had baked her first cake
the day before and used two kinds of bak-
ing powder and a considerable quantity Of
each. 1t is thought that the poison may
have developed in the baking powder.
