intended to be rival to the French
palace at Marseilles. The material is

ing mirrors, but the Casa Real at Mad
rid is very interesting, and contains
remarkable library of 100000 volumes,
including priceless papers, pictures,
bronZes and marble.
The stairway of Spain's royal palace
is a noble structure of black and white
marble, and is guarded by four statues
of Roman emperors who were natives
OF Spain-Frajan, Adrian, Honorious
and Theodosius. On the first floor are
30 large saloons, the chapel and the
library; on the second floor the royal
family and the members Of the court
reside. The palace is said to contain
over 700 French clocks which were col
lected by Ferdinand VII, no two of
them being alike.
The throne room of Spain is a mag
nificent apartment of crimson and
gid, with colossal mirrors and a
chandelier of rock crystal that is con-
sidered the finest example of the kind
in the world. Under the gorgeous cam
opy are two large chairs, handsomely
carved and gilded and upholstered in
crimson brocade. These are the thrones
Of Spain, where the boy king and the
queen regent sit on occasions of cere-

ARSENIC IN THE CANDY
DEVELOPMENTS IN DOVER's sENsA-
TI0NAL POISONING CASE.
Funeral of the Victims, Mrs. Cunning
and Mrs. Deane-HOvv the Sweet
meats Were Packed.

DOVER, Del, Aug. 15.-Whatever may be
the final results of the investigation into the
cause of the deaths of Mrs. j. P. Dunning
and her sister, Mrs ]. ID. Deane, all the in
dications at present are that both women
lost their lives by arsenical poisoning taken
in the candy sent from San Francisco by a
PERSON at present unknown. The funeral of
both the victims took place to-day from the
home of their father, ex-Congressman John
B. Pennington. Prior to the services Coro-
ner Walls began an investigation. DR..
Bishop, who attended the women after they
had been taken ill., gave it as his opinion
that the deaths were due to poisoned candy.
No analysis of the candy has yet been
made, but Mr.. Pennington will place SAM
pies of it in the hands of several expert
chemists. On the result of these tests he
proposes to have further action.
Minute examination of the box, wrapper
and contents has only served to deepen the
mystery as to the identity of the sender.
The box is of the white glazed variety, is
oblong in shape and is made to hold one
pound of candy. Around the ends are mar
row pink satin ribbons tied in a bow knot,
and on the top in gold letters is the word
"Bon-B ons." The wrapper is of the COM
mon light-brown kind, and is in no way
ike the variety usually in use Dy cOHIec-
toners There are four scent stamps and
one 2-cent stamp on the wrapper on but one
of which is the cancellation mark legible.
The address is evidently written in a
cramped hand, or with an effort at disguise.
Within the box was common plain white
handkerchief with the price mark, % cents,
still in one corner. The note signed Mrs.
c." is written ruled white paper in lead
pencil, and the words, With love for your
self and baby" are written jerkily and in
an entirely different hand from the super
scription, very like womans hand. There
are two kinds of chocolate candy in the box.
one hard and similar to a confectionerS
make; the other soft, with every appear
ance of being home made. The impression
of DIR. Bishop is that the poison will be
found in the latter kind. These examina-
tons have given rise to a suspicion in Mr..
Penningtons mind that the box with pure
candy was purchased, after which 1t was
opened and the poisoned candy placed along
with the goal. He states it as his firm be-
lief that his daughters were Intentionally
poisoned but thinks the candy was only in
tended for Mrs. Dunning and her baby. He
states that he will make every effort to
solve the mystery surrounding the case
