Death by Poisoning.

Coroner Addition and County Attorney
Small were called to Fairfield by the
selectmen of that town, Tuesday, to in
vestigate case in which it was supposed
the death of child, Lottie' NJ, daughter
of Stephen f. York, was caused by poi.
soning, and suspicion pointed to awoman
Ada j. Ash, who had for some months
been housekeeper of York in China.
The death occurred Sunday. The child
bright little girl three and a half years
old, never sick any, last Saturday played
about the house all day, ate her supper
as usual, in the evening was taken
vomiting and in great pain, vomiting till
she had commissions and died about $50
or little later. DR.. Rand was called
what he could learn at that time, as the
family said there were those parties
there, Saturday, who have threatened to
poison the child, thought it case to be
investigated and reported at once to
Coroner w. S. Simpson but as his COM
mission had expired he could DO moth
ing and Coroner Addition was notified.
The child was with its mother visiting
at the home of Reuel York who lives in
a small house on the town farm, and
Stephen F. York and the Ash woman
were there also and the evidence was to
the effect that lively row had develop
ed because Stephen F. York and his
wife had recently made up and were
talking of again living together, where
upon the Ash woman was incensed and
threatened vengence, and the theory is,
as we understand it, she poisoned the
child in revenge upon the Yorks.
County Attorney Small and Coroner
Addition investigated the case sufficiently
to convince them that justice required
the Intervention of a coroners jury,
which was empanuelled as follows: E.
Kelley, foreman, b. II. Lawrence, F. c.
Tobey, G. l.. Tobey, p. A. Hobbs,
and Joseph H. Nye. This jury after the
examination of the witnesses and evi
dence in the case rendered verdict,
that the child, Lottie NJ. York, came to
her death by the effects of poison ad-
ministered by Ada Jenny Ash.
The woman was arrested, brought
here, Tuesday evening, and lodged in
Jail and will be held unit the analysis
of the stomach of the child can be made
and the result of the analysis be used in
evidence. She was formally arraigned
before Trial Justice Priest, Wednesday,
pleaded not guilty and was committed
without bail.

Fiddle butt StcaIcrs.

There is Il reason why the AdirOr-
dack forest fires should become more
destructive each succeeding year. Most
of the timber there is spruce. While
spruce is used for various purposes it
it valued chiefly as material for tie
manufacture of sounding boards for
all kinds of musical instruments.
That part of the spruce tree which
Is free from branches, extending to
from 20 to 80 feet above the ground,
is known MS fiddle butt AS there are
no branches in that part of the trunk
there are no knots, and when the lum-
Der is sawed it presents a smooth sur
face. an essential in the making of
sounding boards.
The stealing of fiddle butts is carried
on as regular industry by hundreds
of men who own small farms on the
outer edges of the forests. These men
go into the woods in winter and cut
down thousands OF great spruce trees.
They take from each tree only the
base log, which they sell at the nearest
sawmill allow ing the remainder Of the
tree to lie where it falls. The branch
es become dry as finder In time and
when n fire is started by "A careless
hunter or woodsman they furnish an
abundance of fuel for the spread of
the conHa grafton.
Many efforts have been made to pun
ish the fiddle butt stealers. but it is a
fact that no jury has ever been got to-
gether that would bring In "A verdict of
guilty. 1t is claimed, with much evil
dence of truth, that a Jury has never
been selected in that section that did
not have a fiddle butt stealer among
its members -philndelphla Record.
