T. E. ALEXANDER. The Land Man WALHALLA, 8. O. |>IE8 OF PTOMAINE POISONING. Groom of Two Weeks Succumbs Un der Peculiar Circumstances. Asheville, N. C.tf.uly 27,-Inquiry Into the death of Gustave A. Klocke, of New Orleans, who died'in this city of ptomaine poisoning last Saturday morning while on his honeymoon with his lo-days, bride, develops the Information that Mr. Klocke was taken violently ill last Tuesday even ing after having partaken very hear tily of a meal consisting mainly of fresh water tish and two large glasses of buttermilk. He did not realize his serious condition, and medical at tendance was not summoned until Friday, too late to save him, and his death ensued Saturday morning. The fact that none of the other hoarders in the house, who had also partaken of the fish, have experi enced any 111 effects ls accounted for by the attending physicians on the theory that Mr. Klocke, who was a printer, had for years been absorbing the lend fumes from the melting pot on the linotype, machines, and this combined with the llsh and milk had caused ptomaine poisoning. Mr. Klocke, who at the time of his death was employed on the New Or leans Picayune, was married about 1."? days ago, and with his bride was spending his honeymoon In this city. Much sympathy is felt for the young bride so soon a widow. The remains, accompanied by Mrs. Klocke, left yesterday for New Or leans, where Interment will take place. ?-1---?
