Horrible Method of Suicide—Other Ilappenings Within the State. LAPORTE, Ind., Aug. &7.—Three hundiedoutof 1,000 people were poisoned at a German Lutheran mission festival, or picnic, in a grove at Tracy, this county, Sunday. A dinner was served in the open air and immediately following the meal scores of persons became deathly ill, suffering tho most terrible torture and crying aloud in their agony.
Medical aid was quickly summoned, and the grove, where an hour previous the large assemblage had knelt in praj-er, was converted into a hospital, rudely constructed beds being provided l'or t!:e sufferers, while messengers were dispatched to neighboring points for physicians. Men, women and children succumbed to tho strange affliction, a:*d many heartrending scenes were witnessed. Women clasped their weeping children to their breasts, praying for something to alleviate their sufferings.
Physicians were'able to afford relief, but the cause of the sickness, which came as a pall over the day's events, is not known. It is thought that schne miscreant poisoned the potatoes or drinking water, but the motive for such a crime is not known. An investigation will be made. A number of persons are still critically ill, and it is likely that some will not recover.
HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Woman Suicides by Setting Herself on Fire. VALPARAISO, Iud., Aug. 27.—News' has just been received here detailing the horrible death of Miss Mary Leahy, 25, at Elsden.

The victim lived two hours, suffering untold agony.
A strange fatality exists in this family, as this makes the eighth member who has met a violent death. The act is attributed to the death of her brother, who was shot and killed a few days ago.
