STRANGE CASE OF POISONING.
Atlanta Family Made Sick by Burn
ing ThunderwOOd.

Atlanta Family Made Sick by Burn
ing ThunderwOOd.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
ATLANTA, Ca, February 24-The strang-
est case of poisoning ever known in Atlanta
is being investigated by a prominent gov
eminent official-Mr. V. K. Chestnut Of the
division Of botany of the United States Ag-
ricultural Department. Postmaster Smythe
is assisting the Washington official A
stack of thunderwood burned in IN open
crate sent its poisonous fumes through the
family room Of Mr.. L. 8. McMullen, a we'll
known electrician, and for two weeks his
family have been at the point of death, al
though they are very nearly we'll now. The
poisoning was so strange and unusual as
to be looked upon with disbelief, but close
medical examination has proved that the
deadly thunderwood did the work.
By some means the attention of the gov
eminent was directed to the case and it's
remarkable features led the officials to send
a man to investigate. Thunderwcoi has
always been regarded as the most poison
GUS species of forest wood. 1t is especially
dangerous because of the fact that 1t is so
similar to other varieties of trees that it
can with difficulty be detected. A stick Of
the wood was by mistake mixed with Mr..
McMullen's supply of wood, and the acct
dental poisoning resulted.

APPEAL FOR A HIGHER LIFE
Declarations Adopted at Annual Conference
of Oolored People.
Booker r. Washington Presides and
Women Are Present.

TUSKEGEE, Ala. February 24.-At the
seventh annual negro conference, held in
the Normal School Pavilion here about
1000 colored farmers. representing nearly
every southern state, were present. With
them were many prominent men and wo-
men engaged in various branches of negro
education. The meeting was enthusiastic.
The speech of Bishop Grant of the A. NJ. E.
Church was greatly appreciated. Booker
T. Washington presided. To encourage
gardening a free package of seeds was
given to every one present.
The result Of the conference was the
unanimous adoption of the following decla-
rations:
wherever our people have been reached
by outside influences we believe there is
constant growth in acquiring education.
building school houses. extending the school
term. developing Christian character, i'm
proving and purifying the ministry, Sc
curing land. diversifying crops, raising
fruit and poultry. replacing the one-room
cabin, ceasfng to mortgage crops, getting
out of debt and living more economically.
In saying this We would not be misun-
derstood, but emphasize the fact that
wherever the rank and file of our people
have not been touched by some outside
influence their condition as to property,
euucat1on ana morality Is most unSatiSfac-
tory and will demand for a long time the
earnest help and thought of the best peo-
pie of our country. The possession in
larger degree of the elements of strength
enumerated above, we believe, will consti-
tute the foundation for all the higher rights
and privileges of citizenship which every
race should enjoy. Since IS per cent of our
people In the gulf states live by agricul-
ture. we strongly urge that along with
other forms Of education, special stress be
laid upon training in agriculture. We earn
estly urge all to buy land If only in small
tracts, while it can be secured at low
price. We would especially call attention
to the large amount Of government land
In the south open to settlement We deem
it OF vital importance that the educated
young men and women bear in mind that
they owe 1t to the race to give to the most
unfortunate the benefit of their education
in every way possible. We urge that To-
cal negro conferences or other organiza-
tons with the same object be formed
throughout the south. We believe the hold
ing of annual county fairs would prove
most helpful. We strongly beseech our
people not to be satisfied with their pres
ent condition, but to reach forward to
something higher and better
The conference of educators will be held
tomorrow.

REWARD FOR BAKERS MURDERERs
Gov. Ellerbe Offers $500 for Arrest
and Conviction.

uOS. EAeFOe OmcrB $JOO tOF Arrest
and Conviction.
A dispatch from Columbia, s. c. last
night says: AS soon as he heard of the muir
der of Postmaster Fraser s. Baker, color
ed. and the latter's child at Lake City this
state. Governor Ellerbe offered a reward of
$500 for the arrest and conviction OF one or
more of the numbering mob. Every mem
Der Of the mob should be hanged" is the
comment heard on all sides. There Is in
tense Indignation.
The bodies of Baker and his child were
taken to their former home in Florence
today. After being shot, they lay in the
flames that consumed their home.
The story of Bakers wife confirms the
first reports. She was awakened by the
flames, and when her husband ran out he
was shot dead. The same bullet that
pierced her child's brain broke her arm
A shot in the leg brought her to the ground
and she would have burned had not colored
neighbors dragged her from the side of the
building.
Bakers son is severely wounded, having
bullet in the abdomen, besides a broken
arm. The eldest daughter, Rosella, has a
broken leg and arm. The other wounded
child was shot through the right hand.
Colored people who made threats of ven
geance last night are quiet today.

METROPOLITAN LINE EXTENSION.
Views OF Columbia Heights R~.f-
dent sent 10 senator Mcmillan.

Senator Mcmillan. chairman Of the Sem
ate committee on the District of Columbia
has received a communication from Glen
w. Cooper. attorney for a property owner
on Columbia Heights. regarding the north
ward extension OF the Metropolitan rail-
way:
The sig natures of some Of the property
owners on Sherman avenue north OF Irv-
ing street, Were obtained to the petition
requesting the extension to turn west on
living street" Mr.. Cooper says. ''becausa
IL was stated TO them that unless they
signed the petition in that shane no ,xt.n-
sion at all would be made The PARTIES
getting up that petition reside on or near
iSth street. and they unite with the rail-
road company in the desire to get the road
on 18th street. They informed me and
others that the engineer of the M.tronoli-
tan Railroad Company had reported
against the practicability of Sherman ave-
nue. as route. because the intersecting
streets when paved and guttcred would
throw such quantity of water into Sher-
man avenue sewer that IL would burst the
sewer and the electric conduit of the rail-
road would thus be flooded. / have good
reason to believe that the wish OF the
railroad company TO get west to 18th street
was the parent OF this engineers report
The grade OF Sherman avenue is slight
ana Yet the fall is rapid enough to carry
on an immense volume of water with the
present sewer, but If an additional sewer
Is needed 1t will be put down whether the
railroad is there or not. and IL the railroad
Is there Ii will get the protection il SAYS
Will be needed. The railroad company is
short sighted. II is looking only TO pres
emit demands. The Holmead addition is
building up rapidly. and in a few wears
from 9Th to 18th streets will be almost
soiidly built up, and then Holmead and
that section will be without a direct down.
town road. IL this road is extended the
pullding there will be Of a most extensive
character next year. The natural and only
route which should be approved is from
sherman to Lydecker and thence west To
mount Pleasant. and, IL they choose then
TO their 18th street extension. In this mat
Ter the metropolitan has sat still until the
mount Pleasant people have gotten the
capital Traction to apply for its loop ex-
tension TO accommodate Mount Pleasant
ana now they oppose that extension. IL
they wanted that field they should have
cola shoulder on those who for years have
been trying to get them to go out Sher-
man avenue to Lydecker and across to
Mount Pleasant
III the Metropolitan still refuses 10 go
up sherman to Lydecker then we re-
spectfuliy ask that this franchise be given
to the 11th street line. and when the Met
ropolitan opposes IL tell them that they de-
clined IT once. and you will not give Them
second chance - pay any attention to
their opposition to others and they may
rely on II that others will be glad to get
into section discl ssed.
The grade Of Sherman avenue is inyit-
ing all heavy hauling. Builders will tell
you that the wagons can haul fourth
more load up Sherman than up 9Th or lith
streets

PENSION DECISIONS.
The Pension Bureau Overruled fin
Several Cases.


Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the
Interior, has reversed the action Of the

cases:
Claim Of Susan, widow of Henry McMor-
row. late Company b, I'd United States In

Claim Of Hila Glidden. mother of John H.

proved.
The claim Of Loren L. Loveland, late

In this claim the claimant applies fer a
pension under the act of June "a 1889 ON
account OF fracture of left leg, causing
disability, which prevents him from earn
ing support. The claim was rejected by
the pension bureau on the ground of vicious
habits. The assistant secretary holds that:
II Is not enough that the evidence shows
that the claimant was IN the habit of ro-
Ing on periodical sprees. Ii must IL. shown
satisfactorily, that he was actually under
the influence of liquor at the time ne re-
ceived the injury to such a degree as that
ne was Unable to take ordinary care Of his
person before ii can be accepted as an es-
tabiished fact that the INJURY for which
pension is claimed Is due to vicious ha bits
ana becomes a oar to pension. Hence the
