Tlte Supposed Poisoning Case.
Dawson, Ga , Sept. 24, 1877.
Editors Journal; When first sail
ed en, as you are aware, I declined
to make any statement lor publica
tion as tu what my conclusions were
n explanation of the recent poisoning
accident which occurred at Miss A.
M. Gregory’s, in the city of Macon,
and of which bevei al of my family were
victims; preferiing to confine my
conclusions to my own family circle.
But, upon reflection, and from being
eo often interrogated in regard to it,
and to correct many incorrect rumors
that are in circulation, I have conclu
ded that a simple statement of the
tacts, with my opinion as to the cause
of the trouble, can do me harm, and
may serve to relieve the public mind
and correct any false impressions that
may have been made.
On Monday morning, the 17th inst.,
my two daughters, Isabel and Katie
Cheatham, lelt home for Macon, for
the purpose of attending as pupils,
the present term,of Wesleyan Female
College. It had been arranged for
them to spend Monday evening and
Tuesday at the residence of a friend,
M iss A. M. Gregory, with their broth
ers, Mr. Tims A. Cheatham and Dr.
W. B. Cheatham, who were living in
Macon, and on Tuesday evening go to
the college and be there ready on-
Wednesday morning to commence
their duties.
At dinner, on Tuesday, ice-cream was
served, and three or lour hours after
wards, all who had partaken of it were
attacked wfth t holer morbus. In the
excitement and consternation incident
theteto, the physicians who were call
ed in, decided that arsenic bad, by
some means, found its way into the
ice-cream, nd proceeded to treat the
cases lor arsenical poisoning. As all
the sick ones were euffeiing more 01
less severely with cramps or spasms
of the stomach and bowels, morphine
was administered hypodeimically to
several of those thus suffering, and
to my daughter, Katie, jhe phys
ic ans supposing that the medicine
had failed to relieve her, repeated the
hypodermic injection the second and
third times, using, as they supposed,
one-fourth of a grain of morphine
® ich time. In afew bouts, Kutie was
found to-be excessively, perhaps fatal
ly, if not relieved, narcotized with
morphine. Anxious to repair the
wrong done, the doctors at onco pro
ceeded to treat her lor morphine pois
oning, using such treatment as is gen
erally recognized by the medical pro
fession, as being applicable to that
condition, end with the treatment
also, what is now considered by many
medical men of standing, au antidote
for the poisonous effects of opium or
mor; hine, viz; sulphate of atropia.
My daughter was, I think, lolly re
covered from the effects of morphine, \
but she soon afterwards died, as 1
tkink, from the treatment she received
and the etfects of the antidote.
While I. think in the excitementand
confusion that existed at the time, the
physicians may have administered
more morphine than they supposed,
end in their anxiety to undo what
they had done, may have used too se
veie means, and perhaps administered
a grenter arnouut ot the antidote than
they were twa r e of, I censure no
one for the fatal result. I am sure
they did all in their pcwer to relieVe
my child, and I shall ever feel grate
ful to them for their untiring efforts
in her behalf. It is one of those very
sad cases that sometimes occur, that
are permitted by Divina Providence
for the chastening of those He loves,
and I bnw with humble submission to
Ilia will.
As to the cause of the cholera mor
bus or morbid elfects of the ico-cre 'tn,
l, very soon after learningtlie manner
in which it wis prepared, came to the
following conclusion; That it con
tained no corrosive poison of any kind,
because it was some hoars before any
unpleasant elfects were produced. —
There were none, of the usual symp
toms of such agents in tho mouth
and throat, so far as I cou'd learn,
such ns an austere foetid tas’e, infla
mation of the lips, mouth, palate and
throat, accompanied witli a profuse
ptyalisiu, hawking, burning and con
striction of the throat or i harynx and
m. On the contrary, the
first symptoms were unp easant and
uneasy sensations in the stomach and
bowels, very soon afterwards followed
by nausea, vomiting and purging, the
dejections being, so far as I could
learn, nothing more than the contents
of the stomach and bowels’iquifiei
Tnere was o bloody mucus or dark
foetid matter discharged, a? is usual
when persons are poisoned with any
corrosive substance. The recoveries
wore, also, too rapid and perfect for
such severe symptoms to have been
caused by any acrid corrosive poison.
It that had been the case, it would
have been day*,perhaps weeks, before
perfect recovery had taken place, even
under the most favorable ciicumstances
and ihe best tl rected treatment. As it
was, Miss A. M Gregory and Dr. W.
B. Cheatham wereboth well,and were
awsting in attending to the other sick
ones, by midnight of the same day on
whijh the uccident occurred, and
neither of them had any treatment of
any kind. The other cases, also, so
far as I was informed, were relieved
of their cholera symptoms almost as
speedily.
I conclude, therefore, that the ice
croaru contained no acrid or poison
ous substance, nor poison of any kind
except what is sometimes produced by
such compounds, in a state of fermen
tation, and which pTubably, do not
deserve a name that would convey the
idea of anything so grave, hut might,
with more propriety, be called irri
tants.
It is well known that milk, sugar,
eggs, ®tc., intimately mixed and
boiled, and then set aside do soon,
(and if the temperature of the apart
ment in which they are kept is very
high, as it usual in a cook room,)
very soon, undergo what is called fer
mentation, and that when such sub
stances in that condition, are taken into
the stomach, they continue to ferment,
and that those little mien scopic fungi
called aarcim-vcntriculi and torula cer
visuie, which so much resemble, aud
are almo't identical with cholera
germs,are thus often generated iu the
human stomach. That these micra
soopic germs when existing to apy
considerable extent in the stomach
| produce wdiat is known as yeasty
vomiting, and large liquid alvitieevac
nations, with considerable tormina and
spasm of the stern ch and bowels.
Now, this is what occurred at Miss
Gregory’s. On Monday afternoon it was
decided to have ice-cream at dinner
the next day. The eusturd for mak
ing the ice-cream is composed of bu
gar, railK, eggs, ftn , well mixed ami
beaten together, then burled and duly
flavored, when i.c is ready for the free
zer, and is served from the freeaor in
its coldest stage. But, as in this par
ticular instance, the cream was not to
be served until the next day at dinner,
after being mixed, beaten and boiled
it was set aside, suae to-beitrreadiness
the next day when wanted. At the
proper time, probably about eleven
o’clock Tuesday, the tin freezer was
6<:alded and thoroughly washed by
Miss Gregory’s cook. Miss Gregory
not being satisfied that her cook had
performed this duty as thoroughly as
it should he done, repeated it with her
own hands. The custard was trans
ferred to the freezer and was frozen
aud served in the usual mauner at
dinner—a dozen cr more persons pui
takingof it.
la three or four houis aftsrwarda,
all who had partaken of it, were at
tacked with a peculiar uneasy sensa
tion in the stomach and bowels which
very soon terminated in severe vomit
ing ami purging, accompanied with
gripings and spasms of the stomach
and bowels. There is no douht hut
that the ice-cream producod all of
the sickness, for all who had partaken
ot it were similarly affeeted. Those
who dined at the same table at the
same time, but who ate no ice-cream
escaped, without an exception. What
was in the iee-cieam that produced
the alarming effects? My’ explaration
is, that the custard, after being boiled
and set aside, and bafore being frozen,
had commenced to ferment. No
doubt the freezing arrested the fer
mentation for *he time, hut on being
transferred to the stomach, the frozeu
cream soon melted, and before many
minutes had clasped 'ha contents of
the stomach would have regis
; tered ninety-eight degiees of Fahren
heit's scale, perhaps a degree or two
higher, a temperature which, in a
i eeeptacle- like the stomach, very highly
favors the fermentative process which
process was again renewed and com
pleted, producing the microscopic,
germs mentioned. These germshaving'
their usual effect, the consequence was,
what actually happened to evsiy indi
vidual who had paten of the ice eream.
Had a little Sulphite or Hypo-sulphite
of Soda or Magnesia or Lime
administered, it would have corrected !
the evil. Or as soon as the offending J
cause had been ejected from the j
stomach and bowels (as did happen -
in at least two cf the cases, aud
peihaps in all,) the trouble was re
moved. Respectfully,

The Atlanta errruspondent of the
Telegraph ft Messenger must have the
eyes of an eigle, for, at tho reception,
recently given to the presidential pai
ty, at the Markham House,in Atlanta,
he noted,‘‘promiuent among the guest,”
President Hayes and his wife, and
even saw a member or two of the cabi
net.
It is quile reassuring, to a timid
man, to- read with what unanimous
magnanimity those papers so fiercely
favoring Milledgevrlle are going to
submit, “without a murmer,” if the
people see fit to vote the capital to At
lanta. But they want it distinctly
understood that this is to be t'hus, on
ly in case there is no bull-dozing or
unfair means resorted to in the mat
ter ; for, if there is, they will all “mur
mur” worse than the “mur-mur-iag,
tuur-mur-ing, rour-tnut-iug sea.”
We find this chapter on goats in
the last issue of the Georgia Grange:
In the first place, this is true, —
There is a man in Clay county, Ala
bama, who lives nearly upon the crest
of Blue Mounrain, wliose worldly
effects are these: I One wife and
eight children. 2 A log cabin and
no land to which he has titles, being
a squatter- 3. One old Kentucky rifle.
4 One hundred goats. “Impecunious
inventory,” an unthinking man will
exclaim, but Bill Stephens is said to
live better and grumble leas than any
man in Olay county. His goats (by
She way, the most prolific animal in
the world,) supply him with the vital
necessities of life—bread, meat and
contentment
At the foot of the mountain is the
mill where he barters goats for meal.
Two or three times a year he drives
to town the increase of his stock and
buys clothing for the family—hats
nod ribbons for the boys and girls.—
When Miss Stephens wants a pair of
shoes h goes out and shoots a goat
and makes her a parr.
We had the pleasure of a hunt un
der Bill Stephens’ guidance, and we
Dover took a more genial companion
or a pleasanter excursion. As we
started down the mountain he said,
“Well, ain’t I the best fed, best cloth
od, best shod and best humored fellow
you ever say, to have nothing to show
for it but goats?” We said, “you are,
and we intend to tell the people.”
There is a business principle under;
lying the experience of Bill Stephens
and family. It is this —go it ?

Our attention has been called to
some now and useful cooking utensils,
recently invented which make baking
and cooking a ploasure, instead of a
dreaded necessity. One of which, the
Patent Geutennial Cairo and Bread
Pan, made ot R-ussia iron, is so con
structed that your can remove your
cake when baked, instantly from the
pan, without breaking or injuring it,
and you- can remove the tube, and
convert it into a plain bottom pan, for
baking jolly or plain cakes, bread, etc.
Another —the Kitchen Gem—a plated
wire boiler or steamer to hang inside
of an ordinary iron pot, for boiling or
steaming vegetables, etc., which when
done,, can be removed perfectly dry,
without lifting the heavy sooty iron
pot off of the stove, avoiding the dan
ger of burning the hands with the
steam in pouring off the hot water,
and the vegetables cn not possibly burn
if the water boils dry, as the steamer
does not touch the bottom of the pot.
These goods- are sold exclusively
through agents to families, and every
housekeeper sl ould by all means have
them. A splendid opportunity is of
fered to some reliable lady cr gentle
man canvasser of this county to secure
the agency for a pleasant and profita
ble business. For terms, territory,

County court was held in Morgan
Ihst Monday. After some civil cases
bad been properly disposed of, his
Honor, J. J. Bfch, commenced thß
call of the ciiminal docket in its or
der. There were several cases on
docket, hut only two were announced
ready for trial,lsaac Riley, whom the
grand jury had iridicted for carrying
a pistol about his old clothes, was put
on trial fiiet. He pleaded guilty of
tho misdemeanor, and soon after was
very forcibly struck with the idea that*
it was rather an unsafe business in
Calhoun to carry another man’s pistol
“to the shop to have it mended.” At
last account Isaac was getting up the
funds.
Next case, tho State against Zora
Wilson, cliurged with the offense of
vagrancy Zora pleaded not guilty,
but the Judge, after hearing testimo
ny ia the ease, thought her guilty of
the offense charged, and so found his
verdict, so she will, perhaps, take a
little to ur soon.
