Taken Suddenly HI at a Party at His
 Home Last Night.

Home Last Night.
 A surprise party was rendered Mrs. Clark, wife of the Rev. D. J. Clark of the Old Congregational stone church in East Haven, last evening, in honor of her birthday. Just as the party was about to disperse Rev. MT. Clark was taken violently i'll and those present thought from the symptoms he was poisoned. s>.t
 Dr. Holbrook was summoned and on his arrival found the patient in a criti- cal condition. He worked over him and at last got him out of danger for the time being at least. The doctor when questioned early this morning stated that he did not think the clergyman was poisoned, although the symptoms were similar. He said he thought it was an acute attack of indigestion and that he was now trying to prevent gas- tritis. He thinks that MT. Clark will be all right again in a few days.
 Barring this incident the party was great success, and a handsome lot of flowers were presented to Mrs. Clark. Among those present were: Harold ! and Miss Ruth Holbrook, Harris B. Ball, Alice, William and John Van Haasten, MT. and Miss Haskell, Grace McLay, Ethel Ball, Clifford Willough- by, Miss Olive Andrews, Miss Lizzie seraphine, Charles and Ida Tarr.

CALIFORNIA LIMITED WRECKED
Two KIIIed-Congressman Loud and Rabbi Hirsch Attend Injured.

Kansas City, Mo-. Dec. S.-The west bound California Limited passenger train on the Santa Fe was wrecked at Rothville, Mo-, to-day, causing the death of Engineer Samuel Wise, of Ar genuine, Kansas, and his fireman, Alex ander Haviland, of Topeka, and great damage to the engine and coaches. John McKean, of New York, who re- ceived slight bruises, was the only pas senger injured. Three colored walters were injured, but not fatally. Con- gressman-elect Loud, of Michigan, and Rabbi Hirsch, of Chicago, were among the passengers and helped to care for the injured.
 The wreck was caused by the derail- ment of the coaches on an open switch, which the engine had passed safely, the train going at a high rate of speed. The train was almost demolished. Twenty three of the passengers were brought to this city on an accommoda- tion train tonight, and most of them resumed their journey westward. The dead and injured were taken to Fort Madison, Iowa.

THE FIRST MRS. BLONDIN.
TestifIes to Her Marriage With Accused
 Who Seemed Amused.

LeSsAAA0b AD hxCE HocubSN
 Who Seemed Amused.
 Boston, Dec S.-The woman who is spoken of as the first Mrs. Blondin was a prominent figure in the Blondin mur- der trial to-day although her evidence was exceedingly brief. She came here from Montreal to testify that she mar ried the defendant, J. Wilfred Blondin, in 1890, and had never been divorced from him. While Mrs. Blondin was in the court room she apparently did not once turn her face towards the prisoner. Blondin seemed amused at her appear ance and constantly turned to look at her as she sat in the rear of the court room. After her testimony the attorney general presented in evidence the mar riage certificate of the prisoner with Emma Riley (tlle murdered woman) in February, 1901. ''%s-1s %'''@ "".'
 Much of the testimony to-day related to the trunk taken from the Green street house in which the Blondins lived. Two of these were traced from the house to the New York boat. A third trunk also was taken from the house to the North Union station but EXpressman Dean, who removed the trunk and talked with the man who engaged him could not identify the prisoner as that man. Dean admitted that he was intoxicated when he par tially identified Blondin at the East Cambridge jail some time ago.
 The trial began it's second week with the case still in it's formulative stage, five days having been devoted to the story of Blondin's, life from the time he worked on a farm in Chelmsford un- til he left the Green street house on the afternoon of the supposed date of Mrs. Blondin's murder.
 To-day the prosecution began to go into details of incidents having direct bearing, onEthe murder.

ANNOUNCEMENT IN COMMONS.
Augio.Germam Intentions to Enforce
 Venezuelan Claims.

Augio.German Intentions to Enforce
 Venezuelan Claims.
 London, Dec. S.-Premier Balfour an- nounced in the House of Commons to- day that an ultimatum had been sent to Venezuela, and that in the event of satisfactory reply not being received the British and German governments would take measures to enforce their claims against that country.
 MT. Balfour, when questioned on the Venezuelan situation by the liberal leader, Sir Henry ampbell-Banner- man, said:
 For the last two years we have had grave cause for complaint, on various occasions, of unjustifiable interference by the Venezuelan government with the liberty and property of British sub jects.. No efforts have been spared by the British government to obtain all amicable settlement of these cases, but in none of them have satisfactory ex plantations been forthcoming. Latterly the representations of the British min ister have been practically unnoticed. 6 There are also cases in which British subjects and companies have large claims. We have been acting in con- junction with the German government, which also has large claims against Venezuela. A final communication has been made to the Venezuelan govern ment by the British minister and the German charge d'affaires. If no satis- factory reply is received the govern ments have decided to take such meas ures as may be necessary to enforce their claims"
 Replying to supplementary ques- tion, MT. Balfour said he understood the communication to Venezuela was neither joint nor identical.

A SLUR AT THE PRESIDENT
THE COAL STRIKE COMMISSION
 THROWN INTO 4 FURRY.

Lawyer for Independent Operators Re"
 fers to the Nations Chief Exc tcutive as
 ssTeddy Acknowledgement Wilson
 objects-The Lawyer Calmly Remarks
 That the President of the United States Sometimes Calls Himself That Testimony Against the Marhlcs. Scranton, Pa, Dec. S.-Almost the en- tire time of the days sessions of the coal strike commission was taken up by the mine workers in presenting their side of the controversy with c. B. Mar kle & Co. in the Hazleton regions The miners placed witnesses on the stand who gave testimony to show that the company refused to employ them be- cause they belonged to the union, had evicted them from their houses for the same cause; that the docking system was intolerable; that the question of the men getting the ten per cent. in wages granted as a result of the 19O0 strike is much in doubt, because the men do not know how the company is i figuring it out; the price in powder, which enters into the computation of 1 the increase, and that the size of the mine cars has increased, but the wages 1 have not.
 1 Two Hungarian women were placed on the stand and told how the Markle company deducted house rent from the l last wages of their husbands, who were killed in the mines, and how the com pany attempted to get them to sign a paper which would absolVe the Markles from damages for the death of the men. The women also confirmed story pre- viously told by breaker that the ehil- dren had to work without pay until the debt owed by the dead fathers was paid of.
 | The Markle company was not repre- sented by it's own lawyers, although it had ample notice that testimony affect ling it's collieries would be present ed. The commissioners expect the compa- nv to bring in evidence in rebuttal to the stories of witnesses on Saturday and to-day. The commissioners were very much surprised to-day to learn that the 10 per cent. granted in 1900 Iwas not straight out-and-out raise in wages, but instead a 21a per cent. in- crease and g. reduction in powder of 'R per cent, making the net increase in earnings 10 per cent, which, the miners claim, is not being paid by the Markle company, through some way of tigur- ing they do not understand The ques- ton came in for considerable discussion and no one in the court room could give the commission a satisfactory explana- tion.
 There was a furry at the afternoon session because Lawyer Ira H. Burns of Scranton, for the independent com panies, referred to the president of the United States as Teddy Roosevelt The remark brought out an emphatic objection from Brigadier-General Will, son, and the general was sustained by Chairman Gray.
 The above incident occurred during the examination of John T. Hughes, He Scranton manager for Armour & Co.
