4 Trenton Family Ate Them For Mush-
rooms With Fatal Results.
TRENTON, y. J. (SreciaD.-Four persons
died here Tuesday because OF feast Of
toadstools, eaten as mushrooms in connec.
ton with Sunday beefsteak dinner. -Four
others are in critical condition.
The dead are Henry Goldbach, 4 South

old daughter, Helen, and his sister, Croelia
Goldbach.
Those likely to die are Edward Gold
bach, a young son OF the deceased grocer:
David Lesser, father of Mrs. Goldbach; a
young man employed as grocery clerk, and
Mary Young, servant.
Mr.. Goldbach, who kept store at Tre-
mont and Jersey streets, always had 4
special foldness for mushrooms; and his
family shared this taste. The grocer fre-
quently purchased them from those who
made livelihood gathering them. He
could not distinguish them, however, from
the poisonous growth.
Those who ate the toads:ools at the Sun
day dinner began to show distress that
night. The four who are now dead became
i'll first, but, not suspecting the cause
home remedies were applied. The symp-
toms became 50 violent, however, that ply
Sicians were called. The others became
i'll after that, and more physicians were
called. Some of them have been in con-
slant attendance on the various patients
ever since.
