Special Despatch to The EUening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The Attorney Gene
raj has rendered an opinion to Secretary Bout
well concerning the liability of the Pacific
Railroads to pay their interest on Government
bonds semi annually in which he maintains
that the said roads must pay the interest as fast
as the Government pays it.
The effect Of this decision will be to DELAY
any further cash payments to roads for trans
portation until the.balance of the interest over
due is cancelled. Measures will be at once
adop,ed to secure all the Government trans
portation over the railroads which is now sent
by steamers and other means of transportation

OBITUARY.
Captain James stiIIs AbecI, U. q. A.

Captain James stiIls AbeeI, u. a. 4.
Captain James stille Abeel, U. 8. Army who
died recently at Rome, New York, was born in
Pt Ptiladelphia, November 15 1895. His grand
father was Colonel James Abeel, aide-de-camp
to General Green, and at one time Deputy Quar-
termaster-General of the Revolutionary army
His father was Rev. John Nelson Abeel, d. D.,
a we'll known clergyman of the Reformed Dutch
Church. Captain Abeel, against the wishes of
his friends, in 1918, when only seventeen years
of age, procured commission as third lieuten-
ant in the 23d Regiment of regular infantry,
and was the youngest commissioned officer ever
in the service of the United States. He took
an active part with the army of the Niagara in
the principal battles fought during the years
1918 and 1914, and was twice wounded. In
1884 he resigned, and for three years followed
farming an occupation. In 1897, upon the
death of Captain Samnel Perkins who COM
manded the Arsenal at Rome, New York,
Captain Abeel was appointed military store
keeper of ordnance, with the rank of captain,
and was ordered to take command at Rome.
In 1856 he was ordered to the command OF the
Detroit Arsenal, Michigan, where he remained
three years. On the passage of General Logans
army bill last year he was placed upon the re-
tired list, after having been in active service for
over 81 years. Captain Abeel was almost the
last officer whose name is to be found upon the
Army Register of 1915. He was a warm hearted
gentleman and good patriot aud he leaves a
large circle of friends to mourn his loss.

DIus aist Dies from the Rfects of an Over
dose of Medicine.
The Pittsburg Commercial of last evening
says:-
young man named James NJ Ebbert en-
ployed in Mr.. Schrieber's drug sLore corner of
Ohio street and Madison avenue, died suddenly
yesterday afternoon about three o'clock. He
was subject to cramps in the stomach. and
being good druggist, would never consult a
physician, but would doctor himself aud
always succeeded in obtaining relief. He had
very delicate constitution, and was frequently
warned against taking too much medicine, but
did not heed the warning. On Wednesday
night Re was again attacked with cramps in the
stomach, when he took very strong medicine to
check it. He retired early in the evening,
and about ten o'clock began to groan,
but no notice was taken of it by
heard groaning during the night He gradually
stairs into the drug store to take some medicine
Mr.. Schrieber got up at midnight, fearing that
tie young man was seriously sick, and went
into the drug store, when he saw him take an
ounce of HQffman's anodyne, mixed with other
narcotic medicines, sufficient to produce death.
He warned him against taking SO much medi.
cine, saying that it would do him more harm
than good, and offered to get physician, but
be would not permit him. Yesterday morning
be was much worse, when DIR. Feicht was sum
mOned, but 1t was too late to afford any relief
The doctor stated that If he had been called in
sooner he could have used the stomach pump
successfully and given relief in short time
The young man fingered until o'clock yester-
day afternoon, when death terminated his suf-
ferings.

SPEECH OF THE CONDEMNED MAN.
Ladies and Gentlemen-This is my last ap-
pearance before you on this side of the judgment-
seat of Christ, and before bidding you fond
goodbye, would wish to make few remarks
The day that James Brock was murdered I was
at prsyer-meeting. Sam Girvin came to me
and wanted me to go to the boat, which did.
had never seen Brock before. / shot him be-
cause he cut Henderson Wylie. Sam Girvin
told me to shoot him. He asked me If j had a
pistol; told him had not and he told me to
goto fishing boat and get one, said to
BrOek:-"You are the man who cut Wyle," and
shot him, Grittenden Girvin then stamp I'd on
Sim and y. t sftsrward t told I'D, me to lea the

nesses at the trial were frightened can say
with clear conscience that have I'D nothing
TO do with the murder Of any man only Mr..
James Brock.
To the men, and particularly the young men
and boys, would say few farewell words.
Look at me; am on the scaffold, about to be
launched into the other world. What has
brought me to this? Let me tell you, aud let
these words ring forever in your ears. 1t was
whisky and the carrying of firearms. Whisky
and the bearing of pistols have ruined me. If
you do not want them to ruin you, If you do not
want to be imprisoned, and in the end brought
to the scaffold, don't drink liquor, don't carry
firearms. When l am gone, gentlemen, think
not hard of me; every person that has injured
me / forgive from my heart, and nope and
pray that all whom have injured may forgive
me, and beg the merciful God to forgive me-
Boys, don't keep bad company. bid farewell
to every body.

HYPOCHONDRIA.
An Odd Prescription for a Sick Lad

Professional men play old tricks pretty much
in the same way that history repeats itself. We
hear of case in point-the incident having
occurred few days since-in which lady in
Madison avenue and doctor, whose office is in
Fifth avenue, and who is well known for his
brusque eccentricities, were the principal per-
formers. The lady had been afflicted with IN
dolenoe, and what is vulgarly known as dump
jshness," for some time and fancied that she
was seriously ill. Her husband, q sensible, kind
hearted man, gave way to her humor until his
patience became exhausted. He sought to have
her take exercise and to forget the troubles
which appeared to afiiict her. She could not be
persuaded to take regular morning walks, and
finally became so i'll, in her own estimation that
the family physician was called in. He at once
saw what the trouble was, and prescribed some
harmless compound which she said afforded her
no relief 1hereupon the lady took great
dislike to him, and insisted upon her
husband finding another physician. The hus-
band met DIR. -, well known, as we have OBJ
served, for his peculiarities, and described to
him the condition of his wife and his domestic
troubles. Pooh pooh J" calculated the doc
tor, ''she has the mulligrubs.' Be at home to-
morrow afternoon, and I'll cure her." The next
most as summer; doctor called at the appointed
time; the wife was confined to her bed The
doctor closed the chamber door, and proceeded
to take off his hat. coat, and boots; this done,
he deliberately threw himself upon the bed by
the side of his patient Quick as lightning, the
lady, who was supposed to be weak from
sickness, jumped up, ran screaming out of the
room, rushed down stairs, aud would have
made her way into the street, had not her hus
band arrested her at the front door. The poor
afflicted woman has so far recovered as to be
able to run up good sized bill at Lord 81 Tay-
