SIX HUNDRED POISONED.
A Dastardly Attempt on the Lives of q
Bakers Patrons.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 5-What Is thought
to be an almost wholesale poisoning was
reported to the health department yester-
day, when information was given Of the
sudden and serious illness of about hun.
dred families, numbering between 500 and
900 persons, living in the northwestern
part Of the city. The cause of the sickness
was traced to bread sold at bakery
owned by Otto Figlesthaler, which has a
very large trade. An analysis Of the bread
showed that 1t contained arsenic. The 900
persons poisoned are living, but large
number Of cases are considered serious
From O'Clock yesterday morning until
8 o'clock in the evening the telephone bell
In the office of the commissioner Of health
was kept ringing, and at the close Of Office
hours more than 100 families had been re-
ported as suffering from symptoms Of
acute poisoning. The health department
officials said 1t was evidently case Of
Rrsenical poisoning. The symptoms are
excessive vomiting accompanied by pains
In the stomach, and severe headache
and chills. DR. Kempster stated that he
had been notified of the condition of af-
fairs, and has ordered a complete investl-
CATION
The police are convinced that arsenic
was placed in the bread with intent to
cause the death or serious illness of Fig
lesthaler's customers, with the object Of
running his business. Several arrests
have been made.

THE SILVER REPUBLICANS |!
Attitude of the Senators Who BOlted al
ST. Louis.
WAITING FOR SENATOR TELLER |
'Tf We Are Asked to Participate in the
Republican Caucus We Will Then
Decide what to Do"-senator
PETER Denies a Rumor.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-There are now
quito II number Of senators who walked
out of the Republican national conven-
ton in the city. Senators Cannon, Du'
boise and Pettigrew are here, and met at
the Capitol yesterday, but discussed mat
tors only in very general way. There
has been some speculation as to whether
these former Republican senator's would
attend future Republican caucuses. One
of them, when questioned, said that II
would be time enough for him to decide
when he was invited to caucus 1.-THE
burden of determining our standing in the
party rests with those who call the oau-
Gus" he said. IF we are asked to par
tioipate we will then decide what to do"
Another senator said that he would not
attend any caucus at present and would
await developments.
Senator Teller, Of Colorado, and Sena.
tor Mantle, of Montana, have not yet ar
rived, and 1t is quite probable there will
be no concerted action on the part of the
silver men until the arrival of the former.
The general impression Of the silver sena-
tors is that no important legislation can
be passed at this session. There is also an
impression that the Republicans and the
silver men would prefer that nothing be
brought to an issue until after the various
senatorial elections, in the western states,
when the complexion Of the silver and in
dependent forces in the next senate will
be more definitely ascertainable.
Senator Pettigrew in an interview said
he did not consider the prospects for tariff
legislation at the approaching session very
good, but added that he was protection.
ist and opposed to obstruction. "I should
like to see the Republicans given all the
protection they want, he said, '1n order
that the country might discover that it Is
not the want of protection which is at
fault In the present condition of affairs"
Senator Baker, of Kansas, thinks that
the prospect for the passage of the Dingley
bill very meagre, and is strongly opposed
to 1t. He expressed the opinion that the
question of an extra session of congress
next spring would depend largely upon
the result of senatorial elections this
winter.
Senator PETER denied the report tele-
graphed from Topeka that he had entered
into an agreement In regard to the tariff
In connection with his campaign for re-
election. He said: ~ never favored high
duties on any articles except iuxuries, and
1 have long advocated free sugar, salt
lumber and coal 1 would levy high duties
on all articles used exclusively by the rioh
and fastldious, and this not for proteo-
ton, but for revenue. We can raise our
revenues easily and far more Justly than
we are now doing through graduated
tax on landed estates and incomes If we
are to permanently maintain a single gold
standard l shall favor absolute free trade,
except as to articles used only by the
wealthy and the profigate,'

The people Of this locality are favored by
having chance to view the wonderful auto
matte exposition which opens this evening in
J. J, Franey's building, corner Of Main and
Oak streets, formerly occupied as his fur

To say the least, it is the most wonderful
exhibition of the kind ever placed before

Bergmann's world renowned Swiss village.
the leading features of the collection, is be-
yond all controversy the most wonderful
production that human skill and patience
ever perfected.
The representations are life-like and nat
ural beyond description and the movements
are made in the utmost harmony. All the
industries are carried on by busy workmen
engaged in the mills, shops and factories and
elsewhere about the village as if instinct
with real life. 1t was the lifelong study,
handiwork and indomitable patience of the
great German inventor from Baden Baden.
The accompanying cabinet cases, embrac-
ing almost every phase of life, scenery,
marine views, NEUROLOGICAL traditions and
historical events, are wonders of artistic
skill grandeur and beauty.
Automatic art has reached its highest and
grandest protection in these extraordinary
productions, and all should avail themselves
of the opportunity to view them, as it is the
chance of a life time and the knowledge OBJ
tanned is worth far more than the small
price of admission.

NEW LINE TO POTTSvILLE.
1t VIII be Opened For Traffic Tomorrow.
The Schedule,

The P. & r. Co.'s new route to Pottsville
will be opened for travel tomorrow when two
trains each way between Ashland and Potts
vile will be run. Conductor Thomas Williams,
who has been in charge of the Fackville
train for so many years, will bo in charge of
the train that lays over at Pottsville at
night while Andrew j. Rhoads Frack-
vile boy, who is one of the most popular men
on the line, will be in charge of the train that
winds up at Ashland at night The schedule
Of trains has been arranged at what are con-
sidered the most suitable hours, subject, of
course, to such changes as experience may
show to be necessary. Unfortunately not
all of the trains from Shenandoah make
close connections with the new trains, but
the train leaving here at 7.10 a. m. connects
closely and will prove great convenience to
persons attending court as it will land them
in Pottsville at S.55 q. NJ. Tho train leaving
here at 1888 p. IN. also makes good connec-
tion while the ones leaving at 5:5s and 7:25
p. m. also make connections which, though
not quite so close as the others, will be found
quite convenient. Taken altogether this new
train service will be found to be a very use
full addition to the travelling facilities of
the region which it is expected will be
further improved if the officials find it is
necessary for the accommodation of its
patrons.
The trains which formerly left Shenandoah
at 1920 q. m, 12:4s, 800 and 555 p. m, will
on and after Monday next leave at 7:1O a. m.
1888, 1903 and sos p. m. running through to
Mahanoy City in connection with the new
trains to Pottsville.
