Nov 29 —A very seneational and mysterious po.Hon ing occurred at the home of Mr. | Bud Turner two miles vast of Cal houn this afternoon, where Mr. Turner end family and the family of Mr. Burgeae, a tenant of Tur- ' ner’a living on the same farm Sev- ’ eral member* of both families eud- I denly became viclwntly ill. The pb) Bic.au found thirteen patients when he reaened the Turner and Bupgeae home. Some of them were apparently in a, dying cenditioae and al) were very sick. All had '■ evidently been poisoned in eom way. It was at first supposed thatthey were made sick by iresb hog meat, eaten yesterday and today, but a-e the symptoms indicated arsenical poisoning, it is thought probable that some enemy of Mr. Turner’s had pot arsenic in the well. How ever this is only a supposition and the real cause of the poisoning is only .a mystery. The patients are all somewhat better tonight and will perhaps recover. It is im possible to learn the particulars in detail tonight, but tomorrow will probably develop new and sensa tional feature . S.

They had passed Fourth avenue, before No. 2 had turned the corner into Broad Ab Ne. 2. started to turn the cor ner into Sscond avenue, the dri ver, Bud Taylor, saw that he could not make it, and would drive full against Vandiver’s saloon With great presence of mind he guided his rushing teain so that a horse would be on either side of the telegraph pole which stands on the corner. Those in the wagon braced them selves for the shock, and for a won der neither the horses or men were injured. But the fifth-wheel and wagon pole were smashed It was a close call and required a steady nerve and a clear head to go through the ordeal. The fire was in a bale of cotton in a hox car that stood on the sid ing by the Howell cotton compa ny’s warehouse It was extinguish ed without trouble. It is supposed to have originated from a spark of a cigar or cigarette of some pas serby. JOSHUA SIMPKINS. And a Superb Sand and Archestra With Street Parade on Dec 3rd.

I( JJov., 30., 1894. —I see in the columns of Tuesday’s Hustler of Rome, apiece headed “Howell Happenings,’’ in which my name appears with a handle to each end of it. I would like you to allow me space enough in your pa per to reply to part of my. friend Josh’s writing: Dear Joelj: I am somewhat surprised at you for ex posing me for being a bachelor, but then I guess as it is only too true to make a joke of, I might as well say just here that it is not a matter of choice, but necessity Then with the “Rev.’’erased from my name, I have no more to say to Josh. The hard times, five cent cotton, and a large crop of soghrum, have put the people of our section to planting more hoe-cake seed than thev have for many years. Good times coming I guess. Long live both Phillip and This Hustler of Rome, and our neighbor “Josh.” , C.

A select company of the savants of Paris ha» been endeavoring to determine why it is that when a cat has to execute a fall it invaria bly falls upon its feet. To this end the society has subjected a subject to a series of falls from a height of some eight and forty inches. The drops have been made as awk ward for the animal as soience knew how, but the result has al ways been the same. In the course of it brief descent Grimalkin has always contrived a means to land neatly on alfours, with its tail ta a triumphant right angle. How does it do it? The cat’s de termination to keep its secret, has baffled the closest inquiry. No less titan sixty, instantaneous photo graphs have been taksn of as many phases of the chute. At a conveni ent distance distance from the finish, the cat is seen revolving in itself, without any visible assisting force, and stopping in its revolu tion when it has got right side up permost. And all science can do is to abuse the cat for violating the laws of nature. The explanation of the phenomenon would seem to be that pussy knows better how to fall than the laws nature could tea< h the scientist. —Pall Mall Gazette. Keely Institute.
