Emelia kissing died al Danvilie to-day
after suffering great torture for many
hours from drinking poisoned lemonade.
The circumstances attending the death
of little Emelia. who is but years of age,
is very distressing, but the cause of her
death is easily accounted for. Last night
the l. dies OF the local Rebecca Lodge gave
a social, and when it adjourned it was
found that there was quantity of lemon
ade left over. It was placed in tin bucket
and left over night, and given to the school
children in the morning.
The little people drank the lemonade
very freely. and altogether eighteen
scholars at he public school are now very
sick. Soon after drinking the poisoned
lemonade they were attacked with con-
missions and suffered great pain. Some
of them were relieved by vomiting, and
this prob bly, saved their lives. But others
were subject 10 violent spasms, and could
do nothing 10 aid themselves.
Physicians were called in and the little
people were reated with heroic remedies
but EmeIia kissing, who was fraii it'll lie
girl, did not recover from the shock and
died to-day.
An examination of the dregs in the
bucket showed that the acid OF the lem on
ade had acted with the zinc lining to pro-
duce violent poison.
1t is not thought that any of the other
children will succumb to their sickness. as
IN most cases the danger point had been
passed. In cases of lead poisoning. how
ever, there are frequently after effects
which cannot be guarded AGAINST, and it
is possible that the affair may end yet
more seriously than is anticipated.

LAUNDRY ORDINANCE.
A Queer Occurrence Before the Board
of Trustees.

A Queer Occurrence Before the Board
of Trustees.
ALAMEDA, CAL, May AT meet
ing of the Board of Trustees last night the
laundry ordinance came up Tor discussion,
or rather what was supposed to be the
amended ordinance governing such insti-
tuition. After it had been discussed for
some time it was suddenly announced
that the ordinance was not properly be-
fore The board, never having been legally
introd uced. The ordinance was there
upon at once offered by one of the Trus-
tees, and was referred to the proper COM
mittee. Subsequent investigation, how
ever, showed that the whole proceeding
was incorrect, as the ordinance had ac-
tuaIly been introduced according to law.
The City Teaming.
ALAMEDA, CAL. May 4.-The Trustees
are always on the alert to reduce the city's
expenses whenever possible, and a good
opportunity has arisen which will be
tax n advantage OF. Heretofore the city
has kept team and driver for the pur-
pose of doing the draying and hauling,
which in the course OF month amounts
to great deal, while the expense is also
considerable. At a meeting of the Trus-
tees last night J. D. Fletcher offered to
furnish a team and 10 all the WORK for $50
a month. Gottlieb Schumacher thereupon
offered to do the work for $50, and the
Trustees seeing the opportunity for good
saving Immediately ordered that bids be
called for TO do the work.
The Tidal Canal.
ALAMEDA, CAL, May 4-The sharp
and prompt comment of the papers on
the nuisance created in the tidal canal by
the poisoning of fish from the dunn ping of
i,t~ bvyf ho riao
on the Oakland shore produced prompt
results, as the practice was discon tinued
as soon as the press took 1t up, together
with the health authorities of this city.
The communicate OF Health Officer Nc
Lean to the State Fish Comm ssioners was
replied to 10 the effect that the remedy
lay with the Health boards of the two
cities, but that if there were any further
wholesale destruction of fish the Commits
sioners would look into the matter.
Conclusion of the Brain.
ALAMEDA, CAL, May &C. J. Schultz
heiss, 26 years of age and residing at 1419
Ninth street in this city, died last night
from conclusion of the brain. the result of
a severe fall at the store of Miller, Sloss &
Scott, San Francisco, where he was en-
ployed. He was at work arranging some
goods on one of the floor decks, when he
lost his foothoId and fell to the ground
floor, sustaining injuries that proved
fatal. He leaves widow and child.
Fire in Berkeley.
BERKELEY. CAL, May A big blaze
occurred at West Berkeley this evening,
when Henry w. Taylor's barn, contain
ing about 500 bales of hay, was totally de-
stroyed. A quantity of lumber was also
burned. The total damage amounts to
about $4,000. Crossed electric wires are
thought to have caused the fire.
