(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian lb N.Z. Cable Association.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. Six little girls, inmates of a Catholic home, found a box of rat poison, while playing near an ash barrel in the institution’s ground. They believed it to bo candy and consumed it. One is dead, one dying, and the others are seriously ill. A vermin-ex-terminator, who was working in the buildings, left the poison, which was swept up and cast into the barrel.
