A great number of farmers and railroad hands purchased some of the mixture, and immediately after drinking the concoction were taken violently ill. No physician was at hand and} many ofthem died be- fore attention could be given them. The alcohol was labeled “for mixing paint only." The affair has emitted a. great sensation. Anderson and[ his partner are among the dead. The government has for some days been aware that a demonstration was about to be made. It we‘s discovered that it would take the forin of a secret circular, calling on radical Spaniards to resist the plan of the present ad- flinistration. _ o .

There basdheen‘ some doubt as to how the republican fusionists would vote on a joint ballot for United States senator. At a meeting of these fusion- ists here they decided to vote for the re- publican caucus nominee, which will make the legislature stand 80 republic- ans to 65 democrats on joint ballot for United States senator.
