POISONED CANDY CASE
Theories Begin to Appear. to Accom- t
For the Poison

Dover, Del, Aug. 15.-Whatever may be
the final results of the investigation into
the cause of the deaths of Mrs. J. P. Dun
ming and her sister, Mrs. j. D. Deane. all
indications are that the women lost their
lives by some person unknown who sent
poisoned candy to them from San Fran
cisco.
Funerals of both took place today from
the home OF their father. ex-Congressman
John B. Pennington. Prior to the service
Coroner Walls began an inves tigation.
The doctor who attended the women after
they became i'll save it as his opinion that
the death was due to poisoned candy. No
analysis Of the candy has yet been made,
but Mr.. Pennington will place samples Of
it into the hands Of several expert chem

narrow pink satin ribbons. and on the

The wrapper Is Of the common light

MONUMENT TO WOLF TONE
Foundation Laid of the Memorial to
the Great ISevOIutiunist.


Dublin, Aug 15.-The whole city was
en- fete today in connection with the lay
ing of the foundation of the monument n
memory of Wolfe Tone.
The municipal offices and many bust
ness houses were closed. Scores of thou
sands of excursionists were present and
delegates were in attendance from the
United States, South Africa, France and
| Italy. There was an immense procession
to the site of the monument. 1t included
representatives of all the civic and trade
societies, who followed a memorial car,
containing the foundation stone, which
was decorated with flags presented by
the Daughters of Erin '98 Association of
New York City.
Theobald Wolfe Tone, whose memorial
was the central feature of the festivities
in Dublin today, was the real originator
of the Irish movement that eliminated
in the rebellion of 1893 He founded the
United Irishmen. Tone was a Protestant,
but he had imbibed socialist ideas and
was bitterly hostile to the priests of that
day. whose influence counteracted his
own. Tone offered his services to William
Pitt, but they were declined. He left a
most interesting account of his Partisan
adventures, and his tomb is still the OBJ
ject of an annual pilgrimage.
Mr.. John O'Leary and Captain O'ConnelI
of New York headed the procession which
occupied two hours in passing a given
point. Mr. James Stevens also rode in an
open carriage.
Mr.. O'Leary laid the stone with silver
trowel sent from Connecticut by grand
daughter of Wolfe Tone. This evening
the lord mayor entertained the delegates.
On the return of the Belfast contingent
to that city a II o'clock tonight a fierce
conflict ensued between the contingent and
a hostile crowd which had gathered and
was waiting their arrival. Etones and
other missiles were thrown and many
persons were slightly injured and many
windows were broken.
D. Dillon of Boston and Messrs Dillon
and Redmond delivered orations on Wolfe
tonight.

to solve the mystery surrounding tbs

to solve the mystery surrounding the
| case.
San Francisco. Aug. 15.-None Of the
| many friends and acquaintance in this
city OF Mr.. and Mrs. John P. Dunning
can offer any plausible informa ton why
any one in San Francisco should send
poisoned chocolates to Dover. Del, from
the eating Of which candies Mrs. Dunning
and her sister died.
Arguing on the theory that the tragedy
was the result of carefully planned act
on the part of some one who desired 10
take Mrs. Cummings life. the deceased s
friends here are unable to suggest any
reasonable motive. Nor can any one offer
clew TO the mysterious poisoning. On
the contrary the suggestion that the poi
soning was intentional is secuted by those
who know Mrs. Dunning, all Of whom
say she was never known to arouse an
tagonisn, much less 10 create an enmity.
Nog, so far as can be learned, had Mr..
Dunning any personal or business foes
who could have attempted such a dast-
ardly revenge upon a member Of MS
family.
The more the case is discussed the more
general is the conclusion that the poison
Ing must have been accidental. The fact
that handkerchief was sent as a gift 20
Mrs. Cummings daughter simultaneously
with the present of chocolates to the
mother is cited as an indication that the
candy came from friend. If the latter
is correct, the donor appalled, by the IN
expected and dreadful consequences of
the present, is carefully concealing his or
her identity.
The Mrs. c." stamped upon the wrap
per Of the box of candy has not material
lied in this city, although the police hope
that if there is such a person she will
come forward and solve the mystery.
The statement that the wrapper of the
box of candy was posrc.arKed San Fran
cisco puzzles the mail authorities here.
1t is not the custom to postr1ark third
class mari, the stamps simply being can
ceMed.
The possibility OF the candy having
been accidentally poIsonee at the time of
its manufa cture is denied by the local
confectioners, who say that even if the
unusual practice of using coloring matter
in the making of chocolates had been
used in this case, the swallowing of the
entire amount of coloring OF dye for a
fifty pound batch of painted CANDY would
have no more serious results than days
Illness. No tint or other coloring ingre-
dents are used in the preparation of can
dy for market.
The result of the chemical analysis of
the remainder of the candy Is anxiously
awaited.

HANKS In The CHURCHES

Chicago. Aug. 15.-Services in the
churches of Chicago Sunday partook
largely of the nature Of thanksgiving for
the cessation of the war and the return
of peace. The lessons taught by the war
formed the subject of most of the SER
mons during the day. The pastors dilated
upon the new responsibilities of the gov
eminent and pointed out that while the
United States had gained a glorious vic
tory and vastly increased her prestige in
the eyes of the world, there yet remained
a tremendous amount of work to done
in infusing into the peoples over whom the
American flag has recently been raised
the principles of right and juctice on
which this republic is founded.
