 Ellis Wcd-Sammon His Own BanE>cr--Sucs for Grocery Bill. l Canned tomatoes used in preparing an Italian goulash, almost caused the death of the young son of Stephen Pcrtsicllo, the Whiting street cobbler, tic child having suffered acutely from ptomanc poisoning from eating a portion of what looked like a delec- table dish Sunday at the home of one of his fathers friends in East Brs- 1 tol. Through prompt treatment the l little fellows life was saved and to- | day he was almost as well as ever. | Five other Italians who ate the prep aration were also poisoned, but they l responded quickly to medical treat acnt and their condition was not as l serious as that of the PcrtsiellO 1 NOungSter.
 1 Pcrtsiello, accompanied by his son, 1 were guests at dinner at the home uf an East Bristol friend. The host had ! concoctcd a new style of goulash in which tomatoes were among the ,iu- grcdients. All Whp partook of this particular course during the meal were taken violently i'll a. few hours 1 later and physicians had to give them 1 emetiCS to rid their systems of the l poison. It was found that the tonla- toes were no good and they poisoned the dish.
 Pertisiello tried the goulash, bu: found it not suited to his tastes and he ate so small a portion that the poison did not affect him. In the evening his little son became sick and | pr. l.. H. Frost was called. He at once diagnosed the case as ptomainc poisoning. For a time it was thought that the child would die, but this morning he appeared but little the | worse for his experience,
 Sues for Grocery Bill.
 Through their counsel, Judge w. J. l Malone of Bristol, Frisbie and Hem- ingway have brought suit against Thomas Con1on to recover for @ gro cery bill which they alleged the de- | fendant showed but little disposition | to pay. Property on Whiting street l owned by COnlon, has been placed un- i der attachment to cover the claim.
 It is not expected that the case will come into court, interested par l ties having pra ctically come to ;ln agreement whereby C. H. Ca1or, the 1 defendants employer, agrees to de- duct certain amount from his pay, l turning the same over to the grocer s 1 until the bill is cleaned up.
 1 Sca1dcd by Tea.

 He was badly scalded about the face and back and suffered consider able pain. Dr. Frost attended him.
 Sammon His Own Banker.
 Relatives of Patrick Sammon, the Bristol saloonkecper, who during fast summer operated a jitney in Plain vile, have been kept busy since his 1 sudden death a week ago, searching for his money, which has been found secreted in several corners in his home and cafe. Sammon evidently had but little confidence in banks as he kept all his cash on his own prem- lses. He had so many hiding places for his wealth that his relatives are having some difficulty in gathering it. They have already located several bags of bills and coin which he had hidden in his house and saloon, and It is expected that the search will be continued after tomorrow when the probate court will probably name an administrator to settle his estate Sammon left no will, and his properte Will go to his one surviving son.
 Sammon died while eating supper at his home last Thursday evening" Tn removing his clothes relatives found a roll containing over $1,60O in bills in his trousers pockets. In his overcoat a bag of silver coin was discovered and a subsequent search of his prem 1ses revealed other deposits of money which he had made. Several bags of coins were found behind boxes and in other out -of-thc-way places in his sat- loon. In trunks and bureau drawers other sums were uncovered. g Friends declare that Samm on never had accounts with the banks He | paid all his bills with cash. A thor ough. search of his home and saloon will be made as soon as an administra- tor is named to settle his estate.
