 Poisoned by ice cream purchased in nearby confectionery store in New Haven, three children, Thomas, Grace and Eleanor Leazit, aged 5, 3 and 2h years respectively. were barely saved from death Sunday night. The children live at 31 Elliott street with their parents. The ice cream was not of commercial stan dard, having been made by the shop keeper from whom it was purchased. It was of poor quality and made of such inferior ingredients that germs of ptomaine poison were left in the systems of the children after eating heartily of it. When the children were taken violently i'll, Dr w. J. Butler was hastily summoned and through his efforts the lives of the children were saved.
 There seems to be no prospect for a race of motor boats on the Quinni- piac river, Fair Haven, on Labor day. The lack of interest among the own CTS of craft is the cause. Every day there are brushes between rival own- CTS and some pretty fast boats are being tried out. It was hoped by some that a formal race would be pulled of to decide the supremacy of the boats already in commission.

WOMAN WAS ASLEEP
Passersby Rushed Into Her Home and
 Put Out a Smoking Fire.

But for the fortunate presence of mind of few men the tenant on the first floor of Callahan's three-story frame building on Bishop street would have been suffocated yester- day afternoon. It was about 4 o'clock when John Millerick, Michael Sayles. Fred Scott and few others were passing and happened to see smoke issuing from the front door of the nrst floor. Presuming that some one was lighting fire the men paid no attention to the smoke. but instead of diminishing in volume 1t increas- ed and then they concluded 1t was time to act.
 MT Millerick and the others went around to the back door, expecting to find 1t locked. It was open how ever, and in they went. They turn ed their attention first to the smoke that was issuing in dense volumes from the kitchen stove, and found that the draught was closed and a fire had just started in the grate. It took but few moments to souse the fire with water and there was no more smoke. Then they went through the house and found the ten- ant, a woman, sleeping in a bed- room. The smoke had evidently not affected her, though there was a good deal of 1t in the house when the rescuers entered.

TRAP DREW LIGHTNING
And Wolcot Hunter Lost Pat of His Shoe and Was Rendered Unconscious

John Frisbie of wolcott street had an experience with lightning Satur- day afternoon that he will never for get. Frisbie is somewhat of trap per and he went to Wolcott Satur- day to satisfy his sporting proclivi- ties. He considered the afternoon very good for catching the kind of birds he was after but he was rather disappointed for if it was an after noon for bird trapping the birds were evidently aware of the kind of traps Frisbie usually sets.
 Just before the heavy shower that came about 4 o'clock Frisbie made up his mind that the traps needed batting and so he took them up and went under a tree to place the en- ticing bait. To do this he had to open the trap by pressing his foot on the spring which, when touched by the unwary bird, sprung the jaws.
 Frisbie was bending with all his force on the steel spring when a flash of lightning knocked him sense- less. He has no idea of how long he had been unconscious on the ground but when he came to he found the trap few yards from him and the sole ripped clean of the right shoe. It was with the right foot he was trying to press open the spring of the trap. Fris- bic felt sore for a little while and he had no more inclination for trap ping birds that afternoon.

Score Another Victory at

ST. PETERSBURG. April $3.50 a. H.
Returns from yesterdays elections are slow
in coming in, but the proportion of con-
stitutional democrats chosen continues
overwhelming. Up to o'clock this MORN
ing reports had been received from sixty
three of the 100 constituencies out of which
the Octoberists carried only three, the
constitutional democrats and their Polish
allies forty-six and the social democrats
two, the remaining twelve being classified
as independents, most probably in sym
pathy with the constitutional democrats.
With the exception of st. Petersburg and
Moscow the representatives elected are of
no prominence the best known being Prince
Volkonsd, Octoberist. of Ryazan and
Bishop Baron Rope of Wilma.
The radical members-elect are now wait
ing for the convocation of the national
Parliament to express the distrust of the

sharpest terms is being circulated and
largely signed by constitutional. democrats,

MANY HOUSES ARE SEARCHED
Paris Police Raid Homes Of Labor Leaders,
ROyalists and Anarchists.
LOOK FOR EVIDENCES Of PLO1
Papers Seized Tend 90 Prove that
BOnaparttsts Financed Recent
Revolutionary strike
Movements.

PARIS, April 27.-The widespread labor
agitation took dramatic turn today when
the police executed a series of wholesale
searches designed to unearth an extensive
plot against the public security. The
searches included the Offices of branches Of
the labor federation and homes Of the labor
leaders, prominent royalists and Bonapart-
lists and also a number of anarchists The
suspects among the royalsts and Bonapart-
lists included the heads Of several aristo-
cratic families. among them Count Durand
De Buregard, Count De La Reagle, General
Baron De Taradel NJ. Baconnier president
of the royalist advance guard; M. Thou
venel, an intimate friend of Prince Louis
Napoleon, and Major Feuillent, formerly
commander of the imperial guard, while
the lahorites who were subjected to search
included the conspicuous heads of'the move
ment planned for May l.
The ostensible purpose of the search was
TO discover if encouragement had been
given to rioting in the mining district In
the north, but the authorities expected at
the same time to uncover the entire plan of
the present labor agitation, including any
menacing features of the demonstration
which is to take place May l. The searches
were operated simultaneously early in the
morning. The results in many cases were
negative. There is, however, official author
ity for the statement that documents were
found which proved that royallsts and
Bonapartists intrigued with the labor lead
ers and literally financed the revolutionary
strike movements. The labor federation has
refused to hand over its books to the police.
The search caused a sensation in labor
and royalst circles. In the former they are
denounced as a device TO discredit the labor
movement The opposition press also at
tacks the searches as an electioneering
move.
In the meantime the public has become
more tranquil regarding the possible events
of May 1, owing to the completeness of the
military and police precautions. The city
is rapidly filling with troops, embracing
thirty-nine battalions and forty-eight
squadrons drawn from the various army
corps.
Complete quiet in the strike centers tends
to reassure the public.
The Temps editorially points out the abb
surdity of people hastily leaving the city OF
laying in stocks OF provisions, and says the
| government has taken every necessary pre-
caution Revolutionary movements the
article says, never succeeded when heraldet
in advance.
