 ruptcy at Anniston.

Anniston, August Special. )-Coun- eilman H. H. Fitzgerald, his family and guests were victims of potmaine poison last night from eating ice cream that had been favored with canned pineapple. The services of physicians were re- quired to stem the effects of the poison in many that were made deathly sick by it.
 Mir and Mrs Fitzgerald were enter taining number of guests at their home in the Fifth ward, and during the even- ing served ice cream. It is supposed that the poison came from the pineapple Practically all of the people present be- came deathly sick shortly after eating the cream. Only the little children escaped severe sickness and the fact seems quite strange, since children usual ly eat more cream than grown people. The sicy are reported better today and it is thought that all danger has been passed Many of them, however passed through a horrible night.
