POISONED BY
ICE CREAM
A dispatch from Lykens, Dauphin
county, says: Members of two hun
dred and fifty families who ate ice
cream at Fourth of July picnics at
Gratz Grove, in this place, and Mid
way Park, three miles from here,were
attacked with violent cases of illness
and writhed on the around in agony.
All the doctors of the northern part of
the county were summoend to render
assistance.
The scenes in the parks were most
remarkable. Thoroughly sickened, the
prostrate forms of the sufferers were
scattered ovei the grass by the score.
The picnickers were present from
Elizabethville. Wiconisco, Williams
town and this and other smaller places.
Tho ice cream.it is alleged, was fur
nished by Mrs. \V. D. Frank,who con
ducts a largo ice cream manufactory
at Eli/.abethville. She has been en
gaged in the business for eight years
and has never before experienced any
trouble of this kind, and the general
impression is that she is not to blame.
A prominent local physician who
administered antidotes to scores of the
poisoned people declared tonight that
the ice cream, in all probability, con
tained formaldehyde, and it is believ
ed that this substance had been placed
in the pnre cream by farmers before it
was sold to Mrs. Frank so as to keep
it from souring over the Fourth of
July.
When Mrs. Frank was advised of the
havoc her ice cream was creating she
telephoned to all retail dealers to
whom she bad sold it, not to use any
more of it. Several wagon loads of
the adulterated refreshments were tak
en back and accepted at Mrs. Frank's
establishment today.
i There were no fatalities among the
picnickers who wero taken sick. Sam
ples of the ice cream have been sent to
the State Pure Food Department at
Harrisburg for analysis ami prosecu
tions may ensue.
Dr. William Lehr. of Lykens, in an
interview yesterday, stated that he
thought the people were affected by
ptomaine poisoning, caused by freez
ing, thawing and refreezing and re
thawing of the milk and cream used
to make the ice cream, or possibly it
may have been caused by poisoning
from the receptacle.
When it became known among tho
inhabitants of the valley that so many
people had partaken of the tainted ice
cream the inhabitants of the entire
district, were panic ? stricken until news
was spread that physicians were saving
the victims, some of whom had nar
row escapes from death. In many
cases whole families were prostrated
and their lives were saved bv resorting
to home made emetics.
KANSAS CITY IN GRIP

HOWARD CLARK
WRITES HOriE
Station Agent W. R. Clark otolith
Danville has received a couple of in
teresting letters from his son, Howard
R. Olark, who about a month ago
landed on the Isthmus of Panama,
where ho lias joined one of tho en
gineering corps working on the great
canal which is to connect the two
oceans.
Howard is so well known hero and,
so much curiosity centers in the great,
undertaking and the strange and far
oil land through which the canal is
being dug that every lino which ho
writes possesses interest which will
bold every reader. Mr. Olark, there
lore, lias been prevailed upon to allow
the Morning News the use of the two
letters, from which several extracts
are printed.
The iirst letter was written at Bus
Abispo, June 12th, soon after landing.
Howard says:
"This is my first. Sunday on tho
I-thmiis and thus far it has b<jen spent
very quietly. We remained on board
the Yucatan Wednesday night and
were nearly eaten up with mosquitoes.
On Thursday morning at N o'clock wo
loft Colon on the P. R. R. and came
here.
Bas Abispo is nothing more than a
station on the I'. R. R. and the town
is composed of three Chinese stores
At present we have fine quarters up in
the mountains far above malaria and
mosquitoes. We are living in houses
built by the French engineers and one
can easily see where the seventy mil
lions of dollars of the French Com
pany has gone. This place is equip
ped with a shower hath and a concrete
swimming pool In the house are
stained glass windows and all around
each house is a wide veranda for each
of the two stories.
We have rain every day hut it is
warm water and does us no harm. The
days are hot, atlhough in the houses
! the thermometers seldom register more
: than s"). The nights are so cool that
' blankets are necessary in order to in-
I sure comfort.
We leave here soon for Alhajuelo, a
place further up in the mountains and
' about 12 miles north of us. There the
health conditions if anything will be
better than here. How long we will
remain there I can not say, but it is
to he a survey for a dam and we mav
build the dam which will bo a three
j years' job."
The second letter received was also
written at Bas Abispo on .Tune 2f>.
They had not yet left tor Alhajuelo
and wore hard at work. Tho lettor
; states:
"I do not think we will have much
work to do next week, as we are get
ting too far up 1110 Ohangoes
with our line and we have too far, to
walk going to and returning from our
work. I have not been affected' by the
climate as yet and am feeling fine.
I have been studying Spanish and
am able to do a little talking in that
language.
The fellows have been seeing all
kinds of game such as deer,wild pigs,
and a few alligators."
Firstl Auto in Montour Uounty.
To Fred M. Owen, the Mill street
grocer,belongs the distinction of own
j ing the first automobile in Montour
county. Mr. Owen's machine, is an
Oldsmohile Light Tonneao, French
model, purchased through tho K. E.
Ritter Automobile Company of Milton.
It is a beauty of advanced construction
along all lines, containing tho feat
ures that will enter" into tho lltOo
, model. Nothing exactly like it has
! over been seen in this section.
Mi. Owen accompanied by Will G.
j Brown, who is one of the most skilled
j motorists in this section, went over to
j Milton oil July 4th and brought the
j Oldsmobilo over to Danville. During
I the evening with Mr. Brown as chauf
foui tho machine went dashing along
our streets in fine style. Mr. Owen
has already began to take hold and
there is no question but that in a short
time lie will bo one of the most skill
ful and enthusiastic autoists in this
section.
The automobile is tho speediest of
wheeled vehicles and the Oldsmobilo of
Mr. Owen's model has a record of fifty
miles an hour. It is a ten horse pow
er machine and is built to carry four,
although live can very easily find
i room.
Being the first, in the county the
machine is numbered "1," which is
also the number of the licouse issued
to Mr. Owen.

sary to amputate the little finger of

nicked at De Witt's Park yesterday.
Accompanied by General Secretary W.
D. Laumaster, Mr Carpenter, W. V.
Oglesby, Esq. .and a committee of Wo

park about 111 o'clock yesterday fore
noon, returning home about dark.
The little fellows had a fine time,
playing ball and indulging in pastimes
of oilier sorts provided in the park.
The heavy shower toward evening
caused an interruption in the games,
but there was ample shelter and no
one got wet.
At one o'clock dinner provided by
the ladies was served to the boys. At

All accounts agree that the St. Louis
fair is the most wouderful show this
nation has ever seen, and tliat means
a groat deal, for no other nation has
ever succeeded in giving a fair com
parable with that held at Chicago
eleven years ago. Great as the Chica
go fair was, the St. Louis world's fair
surpasses it in magnitude as well as
in beauty and varied interest It is a
larger investment and a more edifying
birdseye ot modern progress "as slia
is." But along with this unanimity of
testimony as to the magnificent com
prehensiveness of the show, there is a
no less marked unanimity of opinion
that the fair will not pav.owing to the
enormous outlay involved,and that its
financial failure will be an insuper
able obstacle to any more world's fair
projeots for at least a generation.
Special exhibitions we may have, but
that another exhibition on anything
like the scale of the St. Louis one will
bo attempted i-i most improbable. This
is a reason why everyone who has the
opportunity should avail himself of it
and visit St. Louis between now and
December.
