They Partook OF Something in
the Course Of an Evening Meal
Dr.. Robinson Was Summoned and Admins
tered Antidotes-AIl Are Out Of Danger.

Six members Of the family Of William
Lancaster of No. 3S Hope street, were
poisoned by something OF which they had
partaken In the course of the evening meal
but none OF them were 80 seriously affected
but that they will recover in day or two
The Lancaster family consists OF Mr.
Lancaster, who Is a weaver In the Lorraine
mills, his wife, three daughters and three
sons.
Last evening Mrs. Lancaster prepared
the evening meal before the family re-
turned from their work, providing among
other things preparation of oats.
When the family returned from work
they all partook of the oats, with the ex-
ception of the father. No i'll effects were
experienced until shortly before 8 O'Clock
when all those who had partaksn Of the
oats, with the exception OF one son, were
seized with violent pains and began tC
vomit-
DIR. J. A. Robinson responded and ad-
ministered antidotes to alleviate the suf'

Pawtucket Pouch For the
West Removed From the
Worcester Station.
Should Have Been Delivered to
Boston & Albany Railroad on
Midnight of July 10Th.
THIEF NOT YET APPREHENDED.
Letters Carefully Opened and Money Removed
Checks and Other Contents Not Disturbed
Mail Has Been Forwarded From Boston.

The daring robbery of the Pawtucket
mail pouch destined for the West via the
midnight train of the Boston and Albany
Railroad on the night Of July 10Th, has
been Investigated by Postoffice Inspector

The stolen mail pouch arrived at the
Worcester station on the IL :05 p. m. train
from Pawtucket. 1t was thrown on the
baggage truck at the station with other
mail bags, and was awaiting the arrival OF
the west bound train from Boston, due to
leave Worcester at 1920 a. m. 1t was not
missed until the railway postoffice clerk
called the attention of the mail messenger
at the Worcester station.
AS near as Mr.. Evans has been able to
learn che thieves secured whatever money
200 odd letters contained. Every letter In
the pouch was torn open, with the hope Of
finding money, presumably. Several checks
were left by the robbers, one being for $500.
The remains of the letters were carried
to Boston by Mr.. Evans' orders, and have
been forwarded to the senders' addresses,
with notice that they were found in a
pouch from Pawtucket, r. J., which was
stolen at Worcester, Mass, the contents of
which were mutilated and rified.
There were many letters in the pouch,
and each of them was carefully opened,
the ends being cut in . way to indicate
| that the thief had proceeded about the
work In q leisurely but methodical man
! ner. $500
The contents of each letter was evidently
examined with care, but the thief did not
care to take any chances Of detection by
attempting to get stolen checks cashed,
as several checks, aggregating hundreds OF
dollars in value, were left In the envelopes
The largest of these checks was for $500
and the smallest for $26.

Our Cause is the Cause of the World
If you dam up the river of progress,
At your peril and cost let it be!
That river must seaward, despite you,
free!
And we heed not the pitiful barriers
That you in it's way have down cast,
For your efforts but add to the torrent
Whose flood must o'erwhelm you at
last!
For our banner is raised and un-
furled;
At your head our defiance is hurl-
Our cause Is the cause of the world! !!
Our hope is the hope of the age,
We laugh in the face of the forces
That strengthen the flood they op-
pose;
For, the harder oppression, the fiercer
The current will be when it flows.
We shall win, and the tyrant's battal-
ions
Will be scattered like chaff in the
fight,
From which the true soldier of Free
Shall gather new courage and might.
For our banner is raised and un-
furled;
At your head our defiance is hurl-
Our hope is the hope of the ages,
Our cause is the cause of the world.
Whether leading the van of the fight
In the bitterest stress of the strife,
Or patiently bearing the burden
Of changelessly commonplace life,
One hope we have ever before us,
One aim to attain and fulfill,
One watchword we cherish to mark us
One kindred and brotherhood still!
For our banner is raised and un-
furled;
At your head our defiance is hurl-

way Union is the following letter, which
President Debs today mailed to Mr.. Rookie
feller:
McCoys Hotel. Chicago, June 10, 1897
John ID. Rockefeller, New York City-Dear
Sir: | take the liberty to inform you that
we have this day organized the Social De-
mocracy of America, an organization de-
signed to rescue the oppressed and suffer
ing of our land from the grasp Of indus
trial conditions which they did not create
and which they powerless to control
or modify.
The purpose of the organization is briefly
stated, to supplant the present cruel, i'm
moral and destructive system by the CO.
operative commonwealth, under "hicn mill
tOnaires and mendicants, the abnormal
nroducts of an abnormal civilization, will
disappear together and the brotherhood Of
man will be ushered in to bless and beautify
the world.
In this city alone in which the university
which bears your name stands monumental
of the triumphs of labor and the fabulous
wealth of the country, 5000 families are
practically homeless and 10000 workingmen
are Verging on starvation.
If you think this statement an exaggera-
ton | beg that you will come here and l
will arrange to have them assembled on the
lake front and there, under the common
sky, their great shelter, their emaciated
faces and tattered garments may bear tes-
timony to the haggard truth of mans in
The picture is well calculated to appeal
to men and angels, and. as you are Chris
tian gentleman and are widely known for
your benefactiOnS perhaps you might deem
1T proper, no less than dutiful. to give your
support to an organization whose high pur-
pose it is not to feed and humiliate these
suffering human beings with the paltry
crumbs of charity, to perpetuate conditions
which make their lives a continuous curse
but to strive for more exalted humanity
a diviner civilization, such as the Master
taught when he said On earth peace, good
will toward men,"
The Immediate object will be the relief Of
the unemployed by coonizing a western
state where they may cooperate in the ap-
pication of their labor to the resources of
nature. to provide for themselves and their
dependent ones, and to manfully discharge
the duties of an emancipated citizenship
In this movement there are no class dis
tinctlons. Rich and poor are equally well
come TO aid in dethroning gold and eXalting
humanity. Then the strong shall help the
weak, the weak shall love the strong and
the brotherhood Of men shall transform
the earth into ve1itable paradise

Silver Issue Dead.

CHICAGO, June 19.-Eugene V. Debs
declared today, in an interview, that
the free silver wave had receded to
such an extent that it was dead issue.
Mr.. Debs says he intends to encourage
socialism as the issue in 1900. The con-
stitution which was today adopted by
an overwhelming majority, favors the
public ownership of all industries con-
trolled by monopolies, trusts and COM
bines, such as railroads, telegraphs,
telephones, transportation, waterworks,
gas and electric light plants. 1t also
favors public proprietary control of all
mines, oil and gas wells. 1t favors re-
duction of the hours of labor in propor-
tion to the progress Of production. Re-
lief for the unemployed is suggested in
the undertaking of public works and
improvements, the public credit to be
used for that purpose.
