Two Little Girls Die.
The death of the two little girls
OF Mrs. Carey furnished days .ensa.
ton TO the neighborhood The girls
had received few pennies from neigh.
bors and had purchased candy at a
store near their home. They gave
some of the candy to their little
brother and when they became sud.
denly iil the physician called to at.
tend the case. after asking what the
children had eaten, ascribed the effects
OF their Illness to the candy.
An aunt OF the children living in
West Philadelphia took the Youngest
child to her home where after a hard
struggle he survived the effect of his
Illness The two girls, however. were
treated at home and died the next day.
While the physician at first announced
his opinion that candy of poor sort
had caused the trouble. he notified the
coroner that the case should be looked
into
The first part OF the investigation
that followed was devoted to testing
the character of the various kinds of
candy In the neighborinr stores and
especially at the store where the chill.
dren had made their purchases.
II was with little surprise that the
