CANDY MAY BE POISONED.
MRS. JAMES CHARSHA RECEIVED
AN ANONYMOUS BOX OF BON
BONS AND THREATENING

AN ANONYMOUS BOX OF BON
BONS AND THREATENING
NOTES.
A box addressed to Mrs. James G.
Charsha, containing candies, supposed
to be poisoned, was found on the steps
OF the house. No. 219 Franklin street,
on Friday morning last.
Upon opening the box it was found
to contain a note. which read: Eat
this and be merry, for tomorrow ye
shall die. II this does not kill you
something else will"
The candy was untouched, however,
by any member of the family, and De-
tective Witsil was called on to investi-
gate the case.
The box containing the candy had
been stripped of its outer glazed cover
ing and was wrapped in a smooth blue
wrapping paper not unlike the kind
used by druggists.
The candy is Of the character known
as mixtures, and well covered with a
white powder. 1t has been sent to DR..
Frank ROop Smith for analysis.
A few days ago a small china box
was found in the yard. II contained a
powder, part Of which was lead color
and the rest yellow. The supposition
is that the box was placed there by the
same person who left the candy on the
porch.
Mr. Charsha is a conductor on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and his
run is between Baltimore and Will
mington. One night he spends in Bal
umore and the next night at home.
Mrs. -Charsha has received during the
past two years through the mails thirty
scurrilous and threatening anonymous
letters, and the sending of the CANDY
appears to be the elimination of an at.
tempt to make her life miserable.
To Detective Witsil Mrs. Charsha
stated that the candy was sent by a
prominent man and his wife of this
city
DIR. Frank Roop Smith submitted
his report to Detective Witsil thi.
morning He refused to divulge tn,
result Of his examination. as did tn,
detective 1t was reported on tn,
street that no poison was found
contrary report stated that arseni,
had been discovered. The whole AZ
fair is considered to be a hoax

Russia win Arbitrate.

London, Oct. 26.--Russia, it has been
learned by the Associated Press, has at
last agreed to arbitrate with the United
states the claim resulting from the
seizure of sealers in Boring sea, which has
been pending about eight years.
A protocol between the two govern
ments has been drawn up and final for
malities are expected to be concluded
next month The arbitration will prob
ably take the form OF the Venezuelan
court.
These claims originated in the seizure
by the Russian authorities, of the coast
OF Siberia, OF three American sealing YES
sells, and the damages claimed aggregate
about Sl50,00O. In each case the largest
item of the claim is on account of the
suffering of the American olliI ers and crew
while under arrest.
The cases differ from those claims pre-
scented by British sealers which were set
tied by the Bering sea arbitration in the
fact that while the British vessels were
seized by American revenue cutters on
what the arbitration declared to be the
high seas, the Russian men of war seized
these American sealers within seven miles
of the Asiatic coast.
