MYSTERIOUS POISONING ArrAln.
Rough on Rats" Pasted Under the Lip of
 a Moustache Cup,

a Moustache Cup,
 Danvers, Mass, Nov S.-There was a mysterious poisoning affair here Friday night. Albert F. Learoyd is a market gardener and lives short distance from the asylum on the main road from Salem, beyond Beaver Brook He em- ploys a number of men on his farm, besides help in the house. They all eat at the same table. Friday night they had the usual supper and soon after eating it MT. Learoyd, the house girl and two hired men were taken sick. They all vomited and with the excep- ton of the girl were for some hours great sufferers from severe burning pains.
 A physician applied the usual reme- dies, and after some time most of them were relieved MT. Learoyd was the greatest sufferer His condition for some hours was critical. Last evening, however, he was apparently out of danger. Investigations revealed the fact that there were evidences of what appeared to be Rough on Rats" around the house, particularly in the kitchen and pantry A. mustache cup from which MT. Learoyd usually drank his morning cup of coffee was found with a lump of paste tucked under the mustache protector. The paste had been mixed with water or tea and then stuck under the lip of the cup.
 It is stated that MT Learoyd and one recently but just what the nature of it T 1,a | ir, a that the Learoyd family heard some one prowling around the house Thurs day night soon after the man who brings the milk had gone, and there Is a suspicion that whoever this was is the person who distributed the poison.
 The police to-day arrested William Kennedy, aged thirty-seven years, and unmarried, upon suspicion of having knowledge of the Learoyd poisoning. Until six months ago Kennedy was em- ployed by Learoyd The prisoner de- nies any knowledge of the poisoning.
 MT Learoyd's cup was loaded with enough of Rough on Rats to kill three persons The owner found it so prepared at supper time on Thursday evening, and laid it aside, intending to notify the police, but neglected to. MT. Learoyd and Miss Jones are still weak from the effects of the poison, but Rob- ert and Hardy Hall have practically recovered. The detectives are satisfied that the poison was introduced in the tea some time between Thursday night and Friday morning, but no tea was drank Friday night, when the poison ing occurred. It is said that motive has been found and although the off, cers are very reticent, the impression is received that more than one person is expected to be implicated.

Orange Street Congregations Indignant
 With the Asphalt Paving Contractor.

 An inquiry was made last evening of several members who were said to be the most aggressive in their complaints, but the only answer that could be elic- ited was that they did not wish to be known in the matter. Each assured the reporter that he would take no fur ther notice of the subject.

GERMANY IND OUR rAE1FF.
She Thinks It Will be Necessary to Re-
 taliate Upon Us.


 Berlin, Nov. S.-The policy which MT. Kinley is expected to pursue after his inauguration as president in regard to bimetallism and the tariff continues to be discussed in the columns of the lead ing papers. The Kreuz Zeitung main tains that there Is reason for feeling of satisfaction among the bimetallists of Europe, as there are grounds for their feeling hopeful that the first aim of MT. Mckinley will be to obtain a settlement of the monetary question upon an international basis. In regard to the tariff the Zeitung proceeds first to advocate the cooperation of the European powers for concernted in- depreciation of the Monroe doctrine as international law and then goes on to argue in favor of an international agreement for common duties upon the leading American imports.
 This movement for a common tariff was in response to the election of Me- Kinley," the Zeitung says, lis not a new suggestion, as the same cry was heard during the first outburst against the Mckinley tariff when that law went 'into operation, but the move ment was seen to be impracticable." !" Pursuing the question, the paper says: If it is impossible to achieve joint European action Germany must pro ceed upon independent lines, first ere ating high maximum tariff and then giving notice of a cessation of the most favored nation custom as soon as the United States reaches its tariff stage"

SULTAN TAKES ACTION.
He Will Hold Military Governors Re-
 sponsibIS for Massacres.

Paris, Nov. 8.--It is very evident that the speech delivered in the chamber of deputies by M. Hanotaux, minister of foreign affairs, has had an extraordi- nary effect upon the sultan of Turkey and has produced results that the most sanguine almost despaired of ever see- ing. The statement calbled last night by the United Associated Presses as to the attitude of the sultan after he learned what M. Hanotaux had said and the many reforms he promised In conseouence of the attitude of France was official, it having emanated from the foreign office here.
 Seldom, if ever, has partial fulfill ment followed so close upon Turkish promises, and it is believed here that all reforms promised by the sultan will be carried out as quickly as circurn- stances will permit. Among the prom ises made by the sultan was one to dismiss the vali of Diarbekir for the share he took in the disorders there and this promise has already been full filed Khalid Bey, president of the criminal court, will replace the dis missed vali.
 Advices from Constantinople show that it is understood there the tribunal which was appointed in consequence of the nassacres will be immediately dis solved. Telegrams have been sent by the porte to all the military governors informing them that they will be held answerable for any further bloodshed.

A Quick w,t..d woman.

A young woman at a swell dinner
party in St Louis the other day
failed to see the sugar tongs and
helped herself to a lump with her
rosy fingers, whereupon the hostess,
a pompous woman, after glaring at
the offender, called sternly to- the
butler, James, remove the sugar
bowl and have it refilled," which
was done, amid the bushes of the
rebuked damseL As the party was
leaving the room a crash was heard,
and the erring guest was seen smil-
ing down at the ruins of her bcauti-
full cup and saucer which she had
thrown against the wall. Having de-
fled them by touching them, she
explained, she thought it best to see
that they were destroyed.-Spring-
