Effort to Get O'Connor.

Boston, Mass, Ma 24-The story

that Boston would make a try for Jack
O'Connor was a pure fake.
President Soden, of the Boston club,
said today when asked about the story:
W would not have O'Connor on the
Boston team under any circumstances.
He was n of the players who killed
Cleveland as a league ball town, and the
nance are that he will continue at his
old tricks wherever he goes. We are
not looking for players who may put
the game in bad taste with the patrons
Of the sport. Our boys have struck a
bad streak, just the same as all clubs
will at times, and, being on the road,
find unusual difficulty in shaking it off,
especially with the infield broken up
by the absence of Herman Long"

Farmers Family Poisoned by Blunder
of Head of Family.

Atchison, May 24.-A very serious
case of accidental poisoning is reported
from HighbFide, on Stranger creek. in
the south part of this county, in the
family of William Grandstaff, a farmer
Of that n-eighborhood.
Mrs. Grandstaff prepared some rat
poison in a tin can, and set it down
in the kitchen while performing some
other duty. Her husband coming in,
required a vessel of some kind to take
some salt to the barn. He picked up
the can containing the poison, and sup
posing it to be corn meal, emptied it
into the meal barrel. Bread for supper
was made from the meal in this barrel.
The result was that all the family
were soon very sick. Physicians were
summoned, and it was thought there
would be no deaths. The family is com-
posed of William Grandstaffs wife and
two children.
