LONDON, Sept. 13.—Miss White, a benevolent lady residing at Fulham-on-the-Thames, on Wednesday evening gave a meat supper to 100 laborers out of work. Hardly was the meal finished when the entire company was taken very ill. The whole party had been poisoned. Antidotes were administered, but three persons have died, and others are still in a desperate condition. The poison has been traced to a corrosive deposit on the interior of the tea-urns, which had not been previously used for a long time, and were not properly cleaned by the servants. Miss White is in great distress over the affair.
