POISONED BY SALMON.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Hammond and
Two Children and Miss Moquin
III From Eating 1t.

As a result of eating poisoned salmon
Joseph Hammond, wife and two children
and Miss Eliza MoQuin of Strong street
have all been critically i'll and are still in
a feeble condition. The fish eaten was of
the usual canned kind. The can was
opened by Mrs. Hammond and the con-
tents Immediately taken from II tor the
evening meal of the family on Friday. It
is supposed that the sa mon became poi
soned through defective sealing but a
more careful analysis will be made to de-
t'rmine the exact cause.
Mr. Hammond is employed by the Shep-
ard &c Morse Lumber company and on
Friday ate his supper at 1870. His wife
and two children, Roy aged three and Lor-
eta, aged two years, respectively, also
partook of the salmon. Following supper
Mr.. Hammond went to his work but at
about & o'clock he was taken violently i'll
aud a carriage was called to convey him
to his home. Before his arrival u ply
stefan had been summoned for Mrs. Ham
mOnd. whose sickness commenced earlier
than that of tn" other members OF tho
family About this time Miss Eliza Mo-
Quiu. Who boards at the Hammond h me.
arrived and not knowing the cause OF the
illness of the members of the household,
ate some of tn, affected fish and within
an hour was also very i'll. y short tirne
after little Roy and Loretta began to
time the entire family were much alarm
ed not knowing what serious consequences
might cnsuo.
MIR. Hammond and the children seem to
have been affected less violently 10y the
poison than were Mrs. Hammond and
Miss Moquin. The sick people are unable
to retain much food but are recovering.

LAKE TRAFFIC GOOD.
Champlain Transportation Co Report
a Good Summers Business.

Although railroads and steamship lines
in many parts Of the country claim that
traffic is not up TO tn" standard this year
the business on Lake Champaign does not
show such a condition. rhc late spring
followed lY III" opprcssiVely hot weather
affected the carly summer travel but the
past two weeks has seen this increased to
a large extent and the bookings of the
summer resorts on the lake show that
next month and even September will bring
large numbers of visitors.
In speaking of the business done by the
thdmpldiu Transportation company Capt.
George Rushlow said that already the re
suits this year were ahead of the business
of last year. which was AN unusual one.
At that time the utland-Canadian road
was being built ana large quantities Of
freight had to b" carried for them. This
year the boats have the competition of
that road to contend with and still the
business is larger, The passenger traffic
is also heavy.
Although there is only one towing com
panY doing business on the lake this year
Il large amount of freight Is being carried
by canal boats 1t is not unusual to see
lows Of - and 30 beats. During the sum-
MGR several Canadian lows have come to
burlington with cargocs of lumber.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Mr.. Higbee Discusses Tuberculosis In
the Light of Koch's Announcement.

10 the Editor of the Free Press:
From tho outset, my contention has
been and is now, that the cattle commis-
sion ard other advC Gates, be they rnedi-
cal men or otherwise. have been basing
their ext aordinary operations on mere
assumption" They have assumed that
bovine tuberculosis was transmssibla to
the human system. They have overriddrn
public sentiment and sncered at individual
opinion because such opinions weri not
hedged about with diplomas" from some
where.
These gentlemen hav, been called upon
to show US by facts and figures that con-
sumption was or the increase. They have
been called upon to point oct where milk
ana meat from diseased cattle WAS max
ius such dire disaster to the human race.
They have not done 1t, because they
cannot do It, little knot Of so-calcd
scientists" have been pattng each Other
on the back and dancing and jubilatiuA
over other wonderful Northumberland an
while the farmer end daitymen have been
having their prop. rtN destroyed to the
financial gain of the testing expert and
OF the rifle and butcher knife.
And al this lccauso the Legislature
allowed itself to be bamboozled by the
experts" who were COINS to stamp OUT
something. They were stamping out the
farmers of Wiliston pretty thorouSniy,
when these discussions commenced, 1t Will
be remembered.
It Is possible that the recent statement
of Or. Koch before the London Congress
may meet a little caution into the brains
of our cattle commission. and 1t Is hoped
they may respond" Possibly it may ne
conceded that Or. Koch has ''graduat,d 30
from somewhere sufficiently 10 entitle his
opinion to pssSint notice.
Suppose the cattle commission bottle
up the balance of their tuberculin for a
