4 MYSTERIOUS POISON CASE
Apparently Very Slight Olew to
the Guilty Party,

The Inquest in the snyder Poisoning Case
in Port Jervis. n. Y. is Being Held,
but Little Evidence is Adduced Throw
ing Any Light.
Our readers will recall the men
ton made in last weeks PREss of
the death of Jacob Snyder,an engi-
neer, at Port Jervis, and of the sick
ness of his wife. She has since then
died under circumstances very SINH
lar to those of her husband, and the
symptoms in both cases point strong
ly to poison of some kind. At the
inquest the testimony of Drs.
Swartwout, Banks and Cuddeback,
who attended the victims, estab-
lished the simple fact that the two
were suffering from some form of
poison, and that it was the cause of
death, but they did not state the
kind. The viscera have been sent
to New York for chemical eXamina-
ton, but the result has not yet
been obtained.
Some testimony given by persons
in the house, relatives of the de-
ceased, and who had the care of
Mrs. Snyder after the daughter,
Martha Whitaker, had been ex-
cluded from the room, was TO the eff
feet that she and her mother did not
agree, and occasionally quarrelled,
Martha using violent language. 1t
was also shown that Martha went
down stairs to dissolve one of the
tablets prescribed by the doctor
when there was no occasion for her
so doing. The anti-mortem state
ment of Mrs. Snyder it is said is not
sufficient to hold the daughter. And
she probably will be discharged un-
less held as witness. The inquest is
still in progress.

CARBON WANTS RECOGNITION.
No Second Term for Hart, Says the wealth
erly Herald

Il
In an editorial the Weatherly Her
aid says: "The Democrats of Car
bon have an excellent opportunity
this year to secure the Cougression-
al nomination for one of their mum
Der. Never since the formation of
the district have the conditions been
so favorable, and we would be lax as
Democrats and as citizens did we
not assert ourselves and our county S
claims.
" In all right and justice, it is now
Carbon's turn, and we are glad to
know that this feeling exists in
other portions of the district.
Northampton and Monroe have been
well taken care of in recent years,
and Pike is now represented in the
person of Congressman Hart. New
er in the history of the old Tenth
Legion has the latter county been
given more than one term, and no
exception should be made in the case
of the present Congressman. "

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Weatherly Herald comes out
in opposition to the harmony scheme
advanced by some of the Democra-
tic papers of Carbon county, which
have advocated that the congressi-
onal conferees be divided between
the two factions, whose battles in
the past have lost the county to the
Democracy and filled the county Of
fees with Republicans. With these
results in the past before it, the fu-
ture of the party has not much hope
without harmony, in our neighbor-
ing county. The Herald desires the
nomination of a Carbon county
Democrat for Congressman in this
district and assigns as reasons for
its hope of success, that Northamp-
ton and Monroe have been we'll tax
en- care of. and that Pike has never
been allowed two terms. Whatever
may be the opinion of the first
named two counties as to their hav-
ing been sufficiently honored, the
statement with reference to Pike is
certainly wrong, as Hon. D. M. Van
Auken certainly had two terms, and
Mr.. Hart is seeking q reelection. -

=" Now our information from
Mauch Chunk is that Mr.. Mutchler
would like to beR candidate. One
reason is that the salary of So, 900 q
year for doing nothing in Washing

not in love with Congressman Hart,
who, it is alleged, played Howard
false last fall, and it would be such
