POISON FOR HUSBAND.
Sicher Accuses His Wife and m
BOnrder.

Allentown, Pa, Oct. 25-Mrs Laura ST.
cher of Minesite and Thomas Beidler are
in Jail in this city charged with attempt
ing to cause the death of Mrs Sicher's
husband, James Sicher, by poisoning him.
Several months ago Sicher began to fail
N health. He consulted a physician. who
told him that he was suffering from ar
senical poisoning. and that he was being
slowly poisoned to death Sicher then
stated that he knew who the guilty par
ties were, but refused to tell, and it was
only after the doctor informed him that
he would not long survive that District
Attorney Schwartz persuaded him to
bring the charges.
Some time ago, according to Sicher's
statement, Mrs. Sicher fell in love with
Beidler and persuaded him TO come and
board with the Sicher family. Soon after
Sicher began to get sick. He noticed that
some things which his wife prepared for
the table were not partaken of by his
wife and BeidIer. One evening he ate ap-
pie dumplings and became deathly sick
Dunplings were fed to the chickens and
twenty-five of them died. The dead chick
ems We're mysteriously disposed of. Sicher
then decided il was time to leave and re-
moved his goods to his fathers house.
Sicher is in a precarious condition. His
arms and legs are numb, and the poison
has almost completed its work of destruC-
tion.
Mrs. Sicher and Beidler were given a
hearing and they were committed to Jail
The affair has created tremendous SEN
sation.

yesterday with so officers and 900 soldiers
for Cadiz. Transports now here will car
ry nearly 1900 troops from Gibara this
week
Capt. Page and Major Almy have gone
to Cienfuegos to see what was troubling
the insurgents. From all parts of the ISL
and come reports that the insurgents are
becoming restive and impatient. A signih-
cant fact is that the number of Cuban
warriors now in the field is nearly double
the number to be found when the fight
ing was going on. In the words of Gen.
Decasse, 1.-The protocol made many pa
triots.'
Food is scarce and the tension trying TO
nerves of men who expected before this
to be enjoying the fruits of victory won
by the American. Unless the United
States makes a show of force soon the
opinion of those best informed is that the
insurgents may precipitate trouble.
ious that some warships return to Cuban
waters. Gen. Butler recently wrote to
the President explaining the whole situa-
ton and advising that warships be sent
there, making it possible TO hold the SOL
diers back until December.

mittee on military occupation would have
workmen engaged on ], 400 feet of dock
age at Mariel and on warehouses near
Coiimar next week The work of build
ing a division camp in the Guanaoacoa
hills will begin as soon as the weather
settles Rain, falling in torrents for
week, has made the roads impossible.
There has been some friction among
Spanish officers regarding pay, but the
matter is not serious. Gen. Blanco, with
his usual tact and good judgment, paci-
fed the leaders. and trouble over em-
barkation is now hardly probable.
Capt Joseph Benson Foraker, of Gen.
Wade's staff, who has been i'll since
Thursday, is worse today. developing all
the symptoms of yellow fever. The doc
tors held a consultation. but would not
pass a positive opinion for another day.
Owing to Capt. Forakers build, II he
has yellow fever the doctor says the
chances will be against his recovery. He
will be Isolated tomorrow, trained nurses
having been provided.
Smith, the servant at the Trotcha, Is
recovering from an attack of the
