Bontras pargoNnia CASE. -
Prom the Mont -red Gazette,
On Saturday afternoon, the 27th ult.,
the citizens of Montreal were startled. by
the intelligence of a frightful poisoning
case. • So far as we have been able to
ascertain the fads they are as follows :
On Wednesday night a man named Fla-
herty brought to his dwelling in Tabb's
- Yard, Hemline street, a large vessel con-
taining abont half a gallon of liquid.
He was attracted by its odor and. taste,
and bent upon a carouse, invited a num-
ber of his friends and neighbors to drink
with him. The invitation was gladly
accepted, and. soMe ten persons were soon.
- engaged swallowing glass after glass of
the' deadly liquor m full confidence of its
genuineness. One of ticie party, we are
pained to record, was a boy ten years of
age, named" Thayer, who was supplied
with a tumbler full. From all accounts,
•a drunken night was spent by the m.erry
associates and they separated to their
various abodes ,unanxious for the mor-
row. But what a morrowdawned !- The
first to become ill was the boy Thayer.
Early next morning he was . attacked
with vomiting and burning pains. Those
who had assisted him to his doom assem-
bled round him. Unsuspicious of their
impending fates, they did what they
could to relieve his frightful agony. But
while so engaged the baneful poison be-
an its terrible work in their naidst.
They experienced the same symptoms as
the lad before them. Their fears for him
- were soon converted into alarni for then -
selves, and those who had gathered to
. allay his writhing pains were shortly in
the throes of death. A panto spreacl in
the neighborhood. The cries': from the
sufferers were horribleto listen' to.
Crowds gathered round. the doors. For
a moment the sauctity of their home-
steads deterred the curious from enter-
ingut diffidence could not long with -
Stand the shrieks of pain and agonizing
moans thee fell upon their ears. They
• passed. within to a
• SCENE NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.
In a room of outrageously small pro-
portions the man -Flaherty, the unwit-
• ting author of the tragedy; lay with his
wife, both at the gasp of death. Another
room of equally smallclimen.sions con-
tained, a man named. Harkey and his
wife, apparently dying; while in yet an-
other box—we cannot call•them rooms—
was a finely -built young man, William
Drennan, writhing in fearful agony. In
another house in the yard, Mrs. Dunn,
a comPonent of the previous evening's
,
party, was also groaning in pain. Medi-
cal assistance was soon procured. Drs.
Dugdale, Larocque and Major arriving
shortly after the horrible discovery. All
that professional Skill could. suggest and
willing hands could execute was done to
avert the fate of the dying ones. Anti-
dotes Were a.draintsterecl to all, but un-
fortunately without effect The boy
Thayer died shortly afterwards. Har
key's wife was next to succumb. *There
she laatein a miserable bunk, her husband
insensible to her fate owing to his own
sufferings. At this time the scene was
beyond description. The wretched pov-
erty-stricken a,ppearanee of ° the house
was sad to look upon. . Here and. there
in the various kennels were men and
women with death stamped on their
faces. What a wringing of hands and
• bemoaning of fate! A priest was offer-
ing the consolations of religious faith to
first one and then another. There was 3.
rapid muttering of prayers from both
victims and spectators. But death's
grim presence, while it hushed the voices
of all, kept not back the anxious crowdOne after another they, came to look
upon the scene of woe. The small apart-
ments were crowded.. Breathing was
difficult, and. the agony of the sufferers
• intensified. thereby. •---
Flaherty did not survive long after his
wife, who died in the afternoon. Thus
four of the sefferers died within a very
few hours. The others lingered 011 in
frightful. agony, and at 9 o'clock last
night Mit. Dunn, was a corpse.
i
THE rotsoie .AT WORE ELSEWHERE.
One of those who composed the party
of the previous evening was so infatuated
with the liquor that he filled 'a bottle
with it and took it to his residence in
Sydenham* - street, Quebec suburbs.
Upon hearing of tliis strenuous efforts
were made to prevent its coasuraption.
.i. All sorte of conflicting rumors were cir-
culatingA large number are said to
have imbibed the poison in this neighbor-
hood, last night we were informed that
five had! died. This report, however,
could not be substantiated on inquiry.
The only reliable death we. 'could learn
of in the./ Quebec Suburbs Was- that of
the man above referred to, named. At-
kins, . The death of a brother of the mare
Harkey Was also announced, but . it is
possible he was cenfounded with Atkins.
The other sufferers Were in a very pre-
carious Condition at our latest . visit.
Harkey was very ill, and the young man
Drennan was said to be dying. Mrs.
Drennan, his mother, who also partook
of theipoison,as the only one likely to
recover. 1 •-•

•
BOWi THE POISON WAS 0)3TAINED• .
Quite a small history- attaches to the
poison AWL On the 24th inst., a bottle
contain' g about helf a gallon of vinurn
colchici 1vas sent by express wagon from
- Messrs. Evans Mercer & Co., to Messrs.
Bourque &- Co., druggists, St Antoine
.street. The latter refused - to accept it
on the ground. that the order was an er-:
• ror. • It was returned to the carter, who
in due course reported. to I Messrs,
Evans, Iercer & Co. Thus far the mat-
ter is perfeetly plain. But how it came
into tbd possession of Flaherty is a alight
tayster . The latter himself -stated that
he found the bottle in Alexander street,
but thi, is an improbable story. IR is
currentlY believed that it was stolen
from the ,wagon by Flaherty, and the
man's antecedents are such as to strength-
en the suspicion.

Es ablished for the purpose manufacturm
a Se vling Machine which should excel all others

bat thing that they nO can do will prevent
