 Though state fairs and fall carni- vals are attracting visitors to various sections, thus enlarging the volume of trade, on the whole, purchases have been confined chiefly to staples and no more than actual needs have been fill ed Therefore sales have been consid erably below those of last year at this season"

The Mystery of the San Diego County HOs-
 pitdI Case Cleared Up
An Investigation Following the Death of Three Pa tents Brought Confession That She Had Left a Poisonous Draught Tn Water Pitcher.

San Diego, Sept 1S-Three deaths have already resulted from the care lessness of Mary Arthur, 19-year-old nurse at the county hospital, q fourth is expected and four others are ser iously ill though their illness is not expected to be fatal. The dead are: J. Young, Charles Kemp and Henry c. Shuette. A Fisler is not expected to live and Captain A. Paulsen, E. Fisler. George King and Mir. Penn are serious ly ill.,
 All were taken sick yesterday after noon and evidence of poison was so great that an investigation was start ed. ending finally in the confession by Miss Arthur that she had neglected to throw out some water in which there was quantity of atrophine, and that these patients had got hold of it with their medicine. She realized her mis- take as soon as they became i'll. but did not confess her error until the in vestigation had brought the deaths all most home to her
 Young died about midnight. Kemp early this morning and Suette at 8 o'clock. Miss Arthur is in a state of nervous collapse, but is being watched at the hospital.
 The manner in which the poisoning occurred is thus explained in a state ment made by Miss Arthur, the nurse An atrophine solution had been made yesterday morning by Miss Arthur. This solution was used to dilate the eyes of one of the patients shortly after making the solution Miss Arthur left the ward in response to a call to assist in an operation. She left the solution in a water pitcher. It is sup posed that some one came through the ward and noticing that there was not much water in the pitcher filled it up. When Miss Arthur returned to the ward she thought the solution had been thrown away and that the pitcher had been filled with clean water
 Several of the patients, labOring un- der an impression that the pitcher con tained pure water, poured themselves drinks. Miss Arthur used the water from the pitcher in administering med icine to several patients and also gave some patients drinks from the pitcher. When the patients became ill she real ized that the solution had not been thrown away but held her silence on account of fear of the results. With the death of the first patient, District
