healthy,fertile and rolling country, 1150 feet
above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at alow estimate between 0 000 and
7,000 people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬

SICK AFTER SUPPER.
Soenes of Suffering in a Wood¬
bury Boarding House,
DEATH EDBEED HT THE BTEW.
Seventeen of Mrs. Morgan'* Boarders
Taken Violently 1U After Partaking of
n Henrty Supper In Which Stewed
Oysters Figured Conspicuously—Symp¬
toms of Arsenical Poisoning — Some
Narrow Escapes.
WQOD8UBV, N. J., Oct. .7 —Seven-
teen of the ffiiests At M< ri gt,n*s
fashionable boarding house, on Broad
street, opposite the county court house,
were taken violently ill, and there is no
doubt that they were poisoned by some
substance in a dish of stewed oysters, of
which they partook freely at the supper
table. All of the victims had a narrow
escape from death and four are not yet
out of danger.
TUe Trouble Psegins.
Thfe first of the boarders taken sick
were Henry Carey, a drug clerk, and
Burt Wilson, a printer. They Carey are
room mates. About 11 o’clock
complained of violent pains in his
stomach, and dropped to the floor writh¬
ing in agony. Bus room mate tried to
assist him, but he soon succumbed to
the mysterious malady. Dr. C. G. Ab-
bett was hastily sent for, and when he
arrived he stated that the young men
showed all the symptoms of arsenical
poisoning. By this time the other boarders, one
by one, were manifesting the same
symptoms, and there was consternation
and great confusion throughout the'
house. Dr. Abbett prepared emetics
commonly used in cases of arsenical
poisoning, and his prompt attention to
all the sufferers immediately upon their
showing symptoms of distress probably
saved several lives.
Some of the Victims.
All the sufferers administered, vomited freely but after in
the emetics were
to afford relief, although attention they
were given the most careful
throughout the night.
Among the other guests who were
made ill by the poisonous substances
were; Albert Walton, a harness maker;
Professor Curtis Lewis, principal, and
Professor Henry R. Russell, of the
house; Mias Ha;.............. public . ....
Rachel Wright, teachers in the
school: Frank Duffield, Charles Hann
and Harry Hughes, printers, and two of
Mrs. Morgan’s children.
When Dr. Abbott was summoned he
afterward
. said
fused to express an opinion but he
was going to make an analysis.
Suspicion Fastened on the Oysters.
The boarders at Mrs. Morgan’s had for
supper stewed oyesters, cold meats,
bread and butter, coffee, preserves, cake
and cranberries. All who were taken
sick either ate of the oysters or drank
coffee, and if any poison was adminis¬
tered, it must have been placed in these
articles.
Harry Hughes, who did not eat of the
oysters at all, was not affected.
The two children and Frank Duffield,
who also ate very sparingly of the oys¬
ters, were also but slightly affected.
All the others ate heartily, and are very
ill.
Mrs. Morgan laughed at the. idea that
anybody had put poison on the oysters
or anything else. She said she got the
oysters from Isaac Isaac P. P. Kinsell. Kinsell.
Mr. Kinsell, the oyster dea’er, says s he he
sold 3,000 of the same oysters in Wood¬
bury, and Mrs. Morgan’s boarders were
the only one3 affected. He says the oys¬
ters were fresh, he having received them
from Port Norris Saturday night and
they had been on ice ever since. ■
