can was advanced as being to blame
for the illness of the diners and 1t
was arranged, today, to send the tin
and remainder of the contents to Bos-
ton for analysis. The coffee included
d supply purchased. yesterday, by wo-
men in charge of the dinner.
Less than two hours after the dim

it was thought that ptomaine poison
ing had resulted from eating lobster

by doctors during the night and prob
ably others were also poisoned slight

Mrs. Hattie Everson, president of the
Plymouth County Woman's Relief
Corps Association. Others affected
include Grand Army veterans, town

victims of the mysterious Illness cook
ed ham for the dinner, ate a portion
of it. but did not attend the dinner
and had none of the other food served.
All of the persons who were taken ill
had partaken of the ham.

Burleigh made Bath a brief visit and
citizens had the pleasure of meeting
him. they were greatly pleased with
the Governors personality. The Gov

citizens and after a look in at the big
Windlass Plant was amazed at the
