Ptomain Poisoning Causes Death.

Mr.. Gillian Tooley, aged 20 years,
died at the home of his mother,
Mrs. John Tooley, near Rosewood,
at 4. 80 O'Clock last Sunday morning,
after an illness of few hours. He
had been out to an ice cream social
and came home about midnight,
complaining that he had been thrown
by his mule, and was sick. His
mother attended him, and at his re-
quest left the room, as he declared
he would be all right. Presently
she heard him suffering from an at
tack of nausea, and again went to
his room, finding him in great dis
tress, and he soon died. Next
morning his brothers and some
friends went to the spot where he
said he had been thrown by the mule
and no evidence of such could be
found in the road anywhere. Under
the circumstances 1t was considered
best to have a coroner's inquest, to
which several witnesses we're sum
moned, and two or three physicians
we're in attendance. II developed
that Tooley had eaten a can of sar-
dimes before he went to the ice
cream party, and the jury declared,
on advice of the doctors, that pto-
main poisoning was the cause of
death. Mr.. Tooley was a very
popular young man, and his sudden
death was a great shock to his wide
circle of friends. He was the mem
Der of family of twenty-five child
reu, and his death was the eleventh,
thus leaving just half of the family
living. There was a large gather

Failure Of q Political Firm.

Owing to the hard times. war in
Mexico and in Europe the Ken
lucky branch of the Bull Moose
Boiling Co., is forced into liquida-
ton and to make an assignment.
About two years ago the Bull Moose
Boiling Co. was inaugurated at
Chicago with considerable political
capital and paid up stock. The
directors and officers of the concern
were thought to be men of shrewd
political ability. The Presiden:
was regarded as a man of genius
and BRAIN, and it was thought that
he would be able to make a CON-
plete success with the business, but
unfortunately he proved to be too
speculative in his ideas and lacked
caution and forethought. The busi-
ness was started with branch houses
established IN every state in the
nation, supplied with an active
troop of drummers, the goods were
put upon the market and sales were
pressed; many people we're, at first,
we'll pleased with the goods, as
they presented a glossy finish, but
they soon found that they did not
wear well and bear washing; they
were considered shoddy and made
of lyings. Hence, by the extrava-
gance and mismanagement and in
different goods there was a lack of
confidence in the productions OF the
company, and it began to weaken; !;
a great falling of of patronage re-
suited, many of the stockholders
sold out at discount, and at no
time have the stockholders of the
company received any dividend.
This gave great dissatisfaction and
bankruptcy seemed to threaten the
entire firm, hence, the Kentucky
branch house has had to make an
assignment, aud ex-Congressman
Belcher, a stockholder. has been
appointed the assignee of the Third
district of Kentucky. He says that
he thinks that he will be able to
wind up the business by the first Of
November next, as there are but
few assets now on hand. Director
and ex-senator Vance will look
after the state assignment: he thinks
that he can close up the entire busi.
ness of Kentucky by the first Of
November. We hear people say
who bit at the catch, that they can
fool some of the people some of the
time, but they cannot fool all of the
people all the TIME with shoddy
goods.
