An Epidemic of Poisoning in the Quaker City. Philadelphia, Dec. 5.--What looks like an epidemic of poisoning children to secure the insurance on their lives has broken out in this city since the details in the case of Williams and his wife, charged with murdering their three little ones with arsenic, have been published. Three more suspicious deaths of children' have come to light, and Coroner Dugan has called upon the entire police force to aid him in unearthing the crimes. The first of the new cases was that of a child who was insured in a bene- fit society. The little one died yester- day, with no physician in attendance. A four-months-old child, insured in the same company, was reported dead in the same neighborhood. The state law prohibiting the insuring of chil dren under one year old was evident- ly violated in this 'case. The third victim was a six-months-old baby who died in a children's hospital. A coron- er's deputy is now investigating all three cases. : RULED OFF FOR LIFE. Turfman's Fate on Account of a Woman Tragedy. San Frandisco, Dee. ingway of the well-known Kentucky family of that name was, vesterday, ruled off the California turf for lite and was told to remove his horses from the Ingleside race track. After a meeting of the executive board of the new California Jockey Club, the order was issued by Presi- dent Williams. It was brought about through Hemingway's alleged connec- tion with a tragedy in which a wom- an figured prominen.ly. Hemingway has been regarded a fairly clever horseman. Whether he will try to continue racing elsewhere is problematic. He says he does not yet know what he will do. : 3.--Robert Hem- ~ as Good Outlook For Holiday Trade. New York, Dec. 3.--New York mer- chants are of the opinion that all re- cords will be found to have been eclipsed when the figures for this vear's holiday trade are summed up. The rush with which the season has open- ed certainly tends. to strengthen their sanguine expectations. Leading job- bers in all lines of business report more orders on hand than they can fill, while the crowded streets in the shopping district about Eighth avenue and Twenty-third street afford abun- dant evidence that the retail stoves are getting their full share of the harvest. Reports from all points indicate that the couptry at large is enjoying the same measure of prosperity and abun- dance that is apparent in the metro- polis. Splendid Work In Apples, Walkerton, Ont, Dec. 5.--At the Fruit Growers' convention here, Jas. I'weedle, Fruitland, described his large crop of this year, and attributed it largely to the absence of the codling moth, which' usually took three-quart- ers of the crop. He had shipped ap- ples to Germany this fall, and had netted 83 per: barrel for |greenings, 33.12 for Baldwins, and $3.52 for Spies. He had cleared $2,000 from four and a half acres of apple orchard this fall, for which he had to pay $65 in rent. From another orchard of twen- ty-five acres which had previously been a_headquarters for Canker worms, he liad got $3,000 this year. A Trip For Teachers. Toronto, Dec. 5.--School Inspector Hughes is. planning an educational tour for Ontario teachers to West Virginia for the Easter holidays of 1903, It is proposed to take in the fa- waus battlefield of Antietam, the Lu- ray Caverns, and the Natural Bridge of West Virginia. The proposed tour will extend probably over a week, in- cluding a trip through the Alleghany and' Blue 'Mountains. By securing special train at a reduced educational rate, Mr. Hughes calculates that the railway fare will not exceed £20 for each tourist and $20 more will cover the other expenses. y Dairy Produce: : I, Dee. 4.-The stock cheese Montreal on December 1st, 1902, IN2,000 boxes, There: was no change' in the condition of the mar ket, which rules quict and steady at 12¢, to 2c.

Offspring of the Marriage, a Son and a Daughter, are Illegiti- mate--Startling Statement of Defendant. Ottawa, Dec. 5.--Judge Rochon has completed the hearing at Hull of the sensational case of Smith vs. Cooke, in which the wile seeks a separation on account of her husband's alleged brutal ill-treatment. The evidence showed that the defendant came to Juckingham in answer to an adver- tisement for a Protestant teacher for the school there in 1874. He professed to be a Protestant, and gave as his reference Rev: James Foster, Anglican clergyman at Three Rivers. Cooke boarded with Mr. Smith, father of the wife, who was at that time secre- tary to the Protestant school com- missioner. Cooke became a communi- cant at the Anglican church at Buck- ingham before his marriage. The mar- riage ceremony was performed by a clergyman of the Church of England, and after the marriage Cooke con- tinued to communicate at the English church. Two children, a son and a daughter, were the ofispring of the marriage. The son recently committed suicide. Gradually the husband gave way to drinking, and then the ill-treatment complained of commencea. In June last the wife entered suit for a sepa- ration, and then, and not till then, the husband declared that he was at the time of his marriage a priest of the Church of Rome, and that, there- fore, his wife was not his wife legal ly, and theig children were illegiti- mate. At the conclusion of the argument his honor took the case en delibere. THEY SEVER TIES. Husband And Wife Require Two Salaries. Washington, Dec. 5.--As a result of the recent order of Postmaster-Gene- ral Payne, that after the first of the vear women employees of the depart- ment, who marry must leave the ser- vice, a clerk in the department has given up her husband. The woman said : **My husband and 1 have talk- ed the matter over and we could not figure out how we could get along without two salaries. We have lived rather independent of éacl' other and have not "been particularly congenial and we agreed the best thing to do was to separate. I could not take the risk of dismisyal merely because 1 had a husband." Ready To Denounce Treaty. London, Dee. 5.--In the House of Commons, vesterday; vice-president Cranborne, under-secretary for foreign affairs, annoufittd that Russia had intimated to Great Britain that the imposition of countervailing duties on Russian sugar would be regarded as an infringement of the Anglo-Russian commercial treaty, Russia suggested that the question be referred to The Hague arbitration court. Great Bri- tain refused to arbitrate the question, but renewed its offer to denounce the treaty of 1869. Football Men Prayed.

Chicago, Dec. 5.--D+*, Alexander Smith, professor of general 'chemistry at the University of Chicago, who has been devoting himself to_experimenting with sulphur for several months, has succeeded in establishing the fact, heretofore unknown to chemists, that liquid sulphur can be frozen at a cer- tain temperature. Although the discovery has no com- mercial value, it is considered a chemi- cal triumph. In othér experiments in | the way of analyzing sulphur, Dr. Smith has determined certain laws which may have much influence upon its future practical uses. He has sep- arated the amorphous, or solid, from the soluble, or liquid sulphur, and learned many facts of their natures under varied conditions. WILL CHALLENGE A Rochester Syndicate Will Build A Yacht. Toronto, Dec. 5.--A' Rochester, N.Y, special says that at the annual meet- ing of the Rochester Yacht Clup, last night, it was announced that a syndi- cate, headed by Commodore Charles Van Voorhis, would build the vacht, which, it is expected, will be the chal- lenger 'for the Canada's cup.

Nearly all of the six persons died suddenly. The fact that they were insured and that they all exhibited similar symp- toms, caused the inquest to be held.
