Swallowed Oxalic Acid.

Mrs. James Taylor. Of 925 Eynon
street, swallowed a dose of oxalic acid
I'm mistake for EPSON salts on Wedncs-
day and was rendered very i'll in con-
sequence. Her condition is not SER
ious, however. and the family physiC-
ian has hopes of her recovery.
Mrs. Taylor had been unwell for
some time, and thinking that dose
of salts would relieve her, went to the
cupboard and secured the package
containing the oxalc acid in mistake
for the salts. She did not discover
her mistake until after she swallowed
the dose, when she beanie violently
i'll.
Members of the family and neighbors
were apprised of her condition, and
they quickly summoned DR.. NJ. J. Will
liams, who applied the proper relief
remedies and she was soon out of dam
ger. This is the second case of this
character that has occurred in West
Scranton within year.

traced a valuable article of the de-
ceased, the watch chain, to the pos
session of the defendant. In the face
of all these facts, your honor, we ask
that the prisoner be held to court,
without bail, on the charge laid
against him"
Justice Smith unhesitatinGly de
clared that it was the courts opinion
that the defendant be held.
This briefly delivered decision of the
justice terminated the dramatic hear
ing. HUI, when Sheriff Armbruster
nodded to him. was on his feet with a
quick, nervous jump, and was out of
the room in an instant. He almost
ran to the Jail, and led the sheriff d
hot pace across the court house walk
to the stone Jail. where he will pass
his time in the irksome solitude of his
cell until called to court.
DOESN'T BOTHER HIM.
ON the way to the Jail. a camera was
pointed at Hull by IA newspaper man
from the porch of Sheriff Armbrustcl S
home. The prisoner forced d smile as
he said, with bitterness: That's right,
take his picture" When locked within
his cell, Hull said to the sheriff. with
reference to the hearing: Say, sheriff"
with a Shrug of the shoulders and a
dcprecatinG laugh, this thing doesn't
bother me a bit"
Hull's father left the young mans
mother at the rear exit from the court
house and followed his son into his
lonely quarters. Mrs. Hull stood in the
door with a wistful look, and as she
saw her son dart into the Jail ahead of
the sheriff, she burst into tears and,
as she leaned against the dOOrSill for
support, sObbed piteouSly. She cried
and sobbed until there were signs of
her collapsing, when she was assisted
into the grand jury room and persuaded
to sit down.
Hull. though he has been we'll and
regularly fed by Sheriff Armbruster
complained that he was being starved" a"
and handing a dollar to the latter, sang
out number of articles of food that
he wanted. Among them were pound
of butter, a loaf of bread, ring of
bologna and a dozen dOughnutS.

Hull has had no counsel retained for
him as yet, but his father and brothers
will make an effort to raise sufficient
funds to procure one. Before the hear
ing Hulls father was asked who was
his sons counsel and in reply to the
district attorney, he said that there was
no one for the present, but that he, the
father, knew something about the law
and would see to his sons interests at
the hearing.

Yesterdays Fire,

At an early hour yesterday morn
ing, fire broke out in a house owned
and occupied by Michael Healey, of
1863 West Market street. A lamp on
the table in the sitting room exploded,
and, scattering the burning oil about
the room, caused the carpet and dra-
peries to ignite.
The family were all asleep, but the
noise of the explosion awoke them.
They quickly attired themselves and
escaped from the building. An alarm
was sent in from box So and the Lib
critics, EXcelsiors and Cumberlands re-
sponded. Although the flames had
considerable headway, the tremen
soon had them under control before
they reached the second story. The
damage will amount to about 81 900,
