i Poison, of a. kind yet to be deter.
mined, found its way into the viands
Of the Easter breakfast served to the
u Gethsemane church choir yesterday
morning and as result thirty of the
musicians We're taken i'll. While the
professional was sung by a full choir
only a handful remained to intone
the occasional.
A. large congregation gathered fol
the early morning services which
were held at $3.50 a. N. and it wa
bers could repair to: the dining-roon
, where breakfast was served them b!
the women Of the congregation. Thu
: breakfast consisted of creamed pota
, toes, pork tenderloin; rolls, doughnut
I OF with zest' by the half famished mu
i |lsicians and no evil effects were fel
until about time for the 1890 o'clocl
! services. - ~! %f'7 81 ss%.3-' @i@ta:Ht!
Just as the choir was forming TO
the professional, Franklin Grist, on
: Of the choir boys complained Of nau
sea and was unable to take his. place
!, Not suspecting anything serious, >, h
. Twas excused and went to the base
= Ennent Of Knickerbacker hall, where n
Twas found later in a serious condition
I At the close Of the professional tn
T serious effects of the unknown poiso
s began to be felt and one by one tn
). choir members were compelled t
= leave their places and retire to tn
s choirroom, where they We're ,attende
u by physicians quickly summoned
: They were first attacked by, nause
Z, and later the heart action was great
- affected, Inconsistencies resulting
several instances. Three were take
to the st. Barnabas hospital, a nun

3 > some were cared for in nearby home
y All We're out Of danger this mornin
u and the. physicians say, that within
q day or two all evil effects Of their tel

!, The pluck of William Newgaart
{, one Of the tenors, Is receiving CON
- mendation from the members Of til
- congregation. He was to sing a. sol
;, but was taken i'll before his time cam
= = and was compelled to leave the cho
- loft. Altho suffering acutely when h
~ turn to sing came, he went bravel
r. back to his post and sang the solo
: a creditable manner. Shortly after
n wards he became unconscious and We
+ taken home in a carriage.
e The physicians who were called
= attend the cases are undecided as I
v the true nature Of the poison. TT
d symptoms were similar to those
e trichinae, which might have been col
i tanned in the meat, but the fact tn,
Il this poison does not take effect unit
4 after two days, precludes the diagno
ing Of the difficulty as trichinosi
Ptomaine poison, caused by decay
something in the food, is now sui
posed to have caused the trouble.
