For selling adulterated goods seven
wholesale grocers and twenty-three re-
tailers were arraigned before Alderman
Mllar yesterday afternoon. The whole
salers were fined $50 each and the re-
tailers were discharged on payment of
the costs in the respective cases against
them.
Attorney j. II. Shoemaker. of Phila-
delphia. was present to prosecute the
cases for Levi Wells, of Harrisburg,
dairy and food commissioner. and Rob
ert SINNERS, of Phoenixville. special
agent. Mr. Wells and Mr.. SINNERS
were also present.
The hearing of the cases against the
wholesalers was behind closed doors
and in Alderman Millar's private office
The cases against the retailers were
disposed of in the public court room.
1t was proved through Professor
Wells, the chemist employed at the
High school, that goods sold by the
wholesalers had been adulterated. Pep
per contained ground cocoanut shell;
coffee contained roasted peas, while
ginger. cream of tartar and other gro
Gerry products, it was proved, were not
pure.
According to a statement made by
Attorney Shoemaker there was hardly
| a wholesale or retail grocery dealer in
| the city who had not been selling, un-
consciously perhaps, impure staple gro
| ceries.
1t is the purpose of Agent SINNERS
| to return to Scranton early next month
| and prosecute other dealers whose
| goods are now being analysed by the
chemist. Professor Wells. Those who
| have already been arraigned before AL
| derman Millar will not be immune from
re-arrest. There will be prosecution!
| in Scranton. Agent SINNERS says, az
! long as adulterated goods are sold here
1t was remarked yesterday by those
connected with the prosecution that the
penalties imposed upon the whole
! salers would probably be charged b!
| the latter against the importers anC
| jobbers from whom they purchased thu
| goods. Retailers would, it was said
hold the wholesalers responsible TO
| fines imposed on the former. Thus, tn,
| source of the trouble, the importer
and jobbers, would have to guarantee
the absolute purity Of their goods o
not make any sales.

TRUSTEES MEET TODAY.
Ways and Means for Securing New
ArmOry will BE Discussed.

The agitation for a new Thirteenth
regiment armory has reached a point
where the trustees of the regiment see
the possibility of bringing the matter
about They will meet at II o'clock
this morning i'm the Office of Colonel II
NJ. Boies, in the Commonwealth build
ing.
The trustees are Colonel Herman Os-
thaus, Colonel f. II. Ripple, Colonel II.
NJ, Boies, Major W. S. Millar and Cap
tain James Moir. The deplorable con-
dition of the present tumble-down
structure in which is quartered the
command which ranks next to the first
of the regiments of the state, and the
fear of serious Indifference by the rank
and file in the regiments welfare was
described at length in an issue of The
Tribune last week. The companies fol-
lowed the publication of the article
with individual resolutions.
1t is not certain what the trustees
can do in the matter They have no
definite plan, but realize that they must
make some kind of effort through the
generosity of the citizens 1t is not the
fault of the trustees that a new ar
mory has not been built. Twice they
tried to bring it about and would have
succeeded but for the failure of certain
individuals to subscribe a few neces-
sary thousand dollars to large
amount previously pledged by more
loyal persons.

DEATH FROM POISON.
Post.Mortem by Coroner Longstree
Shows That Remington's Stomach
Was Eaten Through.

Corrosive poison caused the death of
Paul Remington, a middle-aged man,
who died under suspicious circum-
stances early Tuesday morning in the
Lackawanna hospital. That was de-
termined in a post mortem examina-
tion by Coroner Longstreet in the
terday afternoon.
Remington boarded on Raymond
court between Spruce and Linden
streets. Dr.. Webb, of the hospital, was
summoned to see him last week. Rem
ington said he had swallowed mix
ture of saltpetre and water in mistake
for EPSON salts. The contents of the
stomach We're pumped out and the
proper remedies prescribed.
On the following day, Wednesday,
Remington applied for admission to
the hospital. and was received there.
He grew worse on Saturday and died
early Tuesday morning.
The autopsy showed a highly ulcer
ated condition of the stomach. The
| mucuous membrane was eaten through
to the muscular structure and gave
ample evidence that saltpetre or some
other corrosive poison had caused
death. The stomach was removed and
given to Chemist Benjamin for an
alysis. Remington had no immediate
| family. The body was surrendered tu
| the friends with whom he boarded.
The inquest will be held Monday
evening. The jurors are: Drs. Webb
| and Newbury, of the hospital; A. F.
Worries, Charles Teeter, A. T. Rayns-
| ford and Patrick Cusick.
