by chance, Mrs. Oornelia Meeker, his

Van Sickles stopped over in Chicago

Pittsburg, March S.-The postal au-
thorities will be asked to trace the
source of box Of poisoned bonbons
which came near causing the death of
the wife of Pittsburg attorney. The
strictest precautions have been taken to

made by chemists and it is found that
the candy contained corrosive sublimate
in large quantities. The woman to
whom the box was sent ate one or two
pieces Of the candy and became deathly
sick. ..s- -..
G.. F. Heckel. a pharmacist Of Ale

tory of the Pittsburg forge and iron
