Strange Poisoning Case.

Wilmington, Del. Aug, 15.-There is
still much excitement In Dover over the
strange poisoning case which resulted in
the death of Mrs. ]. D. Deane and Mrs.
]. p. Dunning, the daughters of ex-Con-
gresham Pennington, and the illness of
several others. It is now the opinion OF
some of the family that the candy was
sent to Mrs. Dunning for the purpose of
poisoning her, but this is not regarded as
likely by others in Dover. It is believed
by many that the poisoning is ptomaine
poisoning, which was caused by a mix
ture of the candy, which was stale, with
some of the food which they ate.

THE CRIPPLE WOULD

CRASHING LANDLORD WHO DI1
 NOT GRASP.
Two Justices and Many People Get Tangled Up in 8 Conflict
 Over Seven Dollars.

When John Erickson entered the court of Justice Groezinger yesterday and tried to replevin a mans house in order to sat isfy debt of g he simply smashed the record. He did more than that. He got himself so badly disliked by the Justice that the latter threw him out of court.
 It was a queer story. Henry Behnker, a poor cripple, owed Erickson rent. It was only matter of $7, but Behnker could not pay it. He did not have the money, and he moved out of Erickson's house on Sixth avenue, near l street, and sought other quarters. The landlord did not be- lieve in forgiving debts of tenants. He went into court and secured a judgment for triple rent, as the law allows. Then he put the $21 claim down in the book of his recollection and waited. Many months slipped by, and the landlords op- portunity came. The cripple had secured a house. It was small one, and stood on ground leased for a few dollars from near where Point Lobos avenue and the sand waves mingle. It IS said that the cripple and his friends built the struc- finished 1t was worth about $500, counting the labor of dragging boards over the sandhills as worth something.
 Behnker and his wife went to house. Keeping, and Landlord Erickson found 1t out Not one minute waited he, but hied himself to the Sheriff and demanded that the eripples house be sold to satisfy the ancient debt. And it was sold When the day came for the red flag to wave from Behnker's doorstep the landlord was there to bid. He was the only bidder, and he bid $45 and got the property; or at least he thought he got 1t. But Behnker sued the Sheriff.
 The landlord had to come back to the courts once more to collect that T, and incidentally to gather in the house for in terest. To Judge Groezinger fell the. job of sitting on the merits of the case. There was a long array of witnesses, both for the landlord and for the cripple. The bill was excessive for the landlord. He failed to get any $7 or house, but he gathered in a whole bunch of costs. The Judge held that as the land was leased upon which the house was built, therefore the inn movements. under California law, went with the ground: did not belong to the cripple. but to the owners of the land, the Alaska Commercial Company. Therefore the complaining MT. Erickson had no nroper lien upon the house, the SheritI s Sale was void and Behnker. and his wIle could go back in peace and contentment to their home.
 Tn conclusion the Judge stated that the house was worth, from the testimony of inc witnesses, about $500, which sum was over and above the limitations of value which may be considered in Justice 8 court. where iri Sthe neighborhood Of $l0O up to date. and the cripple is still alive and hdDDy.

 There Is not very much corroboration, :" said his Honor, addressing Hugh Aldrich, attorney for plaintiff, and the decree cannot be granted. While the defendant may be an honest, well meaning fellow, he is certainly a kind of an cratic genius from his actions.
