HIS BLOOD POISONED.
Coroner Gets Infection from General
Slocum Victims.


New York. June 25.-coroner
.o'Gorman. who has handled most Of
the bodies recovered from the slocum
disaster, has contracted blood poison
ing. He pricked finger of the right
hand while removing breastpin from
one Of the bodies last Sunday, although
he wore rubber gloves. Within short
time the finger began to swell and the
poison spread rapidly. The usual treat
ment has thus far failed to check the
spread and anti-toxine probably will
be injected into the coroner's arm to-
day.

a large variety came in from Los Angeles and

an extreme one and obtained only for a
few lots Of strictly fancy during the early
trade.
The market was still overloaded with Oranges
and stocks included much poor fruit, which was
being pressed for sale at low prices, to the
detriment of sound fruit. which was in COM
parative1y light supply. The cool, cloudy
weather, together with the fact that dealers
were holding off awaiting the result Of the
auction sale, caused easy feeling in the
open market. and trade was OF hand to
mouth character during the greater part OF the
day. There was some competition in the auc-
tion rooms between shipping brokers for SOUND
lots of fancy fruit. but the bulk OF the oner-
ings were of poor quality and attracted but
little attention. Ten were sold as fol-
