The republicans had the Senate and the
democrats the House. It had been a very

overwhelming preponderance In their
branch. They endeavored to uproot every
scandal and intrigue connected with the
republican administration Of the govern

stirring to the bottom sectional feeling and

would come upon the country should the

DOSE INTENDED FOR RATS
Children While Playing Placed the Mix
ture on the Table Where Delicacy
Was Served-Prompt Care at Emer-
gency Hospital May Save Her Life.

The thoughtiess play of several small
children very rea6y caused the death
last night of Mrs. Annie johnson, sew
enty-eight years of age, who resides at
1925 South Capitol Street. Mrs. Johnson
ate several spoonfuls OF paris green
from saucer which she thought con-
tanned ice cream. the children having
moved the poison from a corner OF the
room. where it had been placed to kill
rats, to The table besides number OF ice
cream saucers. Mrs. Johnson was re-
moved to the Emergency Hospital about
$50 o'clock. Her condition was said to
be serious, but the physicians entertain
hopes of her recovery
Poison Placed Among Delicacies.
According to the story told by ne
phew OF Mrs. Johnson. who accompanied
his aunt to the hospital. a party was
being held at Mrs Johnson's home.
During the evening ice cream was
served There were several children
present. who were playing about in the
different rooms and in the kitchen. In
one corner OF the kitchen a saucer con-
tanning a quantity of paris green had
been placed to kill rats. Innocent Of
the nature of the poison. the youngsters
removed it to the table and placed 1t
near the saucers in which the ice cream
was being served.
Mistook the Deadly Dose.
1t is thought Mrs. Johnson's age pre-
vented her from seeing very plainly.
and that she picked up the dish of
poison. mistaking it for ice cream. Be-
fore she Lad eaten much of the poison
she was stricken. A hasty examination
by some of the persons present revealed
the fact that she was in a serious con-
dition. The Emergency Hospital ambu
lance was at once sent for and she was
removed from her home.
Under ordinary circumstances. the
physicians think that recovery would be
almost certain. but the old age of the
patient in this case prevents any very
hopeful predictions being made yet.
