A FATAL MISTAKE.
A Young Physician Takes Morphine In

The st. Louis Democrat of the 4th inst. has
the following l
Yesterday morning the Coroner held an in
quest on the body of DIR. Cyrus w. Buchanan,
of Moberly Randolph county, Mo-, who died
Z. s. Hallett, No 3O6 S. Fifth street. On
Thursday the deceased arrived in the city from
Moberly, and put up at Mrs. Halletts, where he
boarded when attending medical lectures last
winter In the evening he complained of suffer
ing with neuralgia, and said he would take
some quinine and little morphine to relieve
him. In the room were two or three medical
Students acquaintance Of the deceased.
One of them gave him bottle containing
about half grain of morphine, which he took.
He then opened his carpet-sack to get some
quinine, and took what he thought to be about
four grains. 1t seems however, that the drug
supposed to be quinine was morphine, and was
so labeled. Before leaving home the deceased
had put some quinine into a morphine bottle,
and on leaving for st. Louis placed in his carpet
sack, as he thought this bottle, but instead of
doing SO, he took up bottle of morphine and
put it into his carpet-sack After taking the
medicine the deceased went to bed, aud the
other young men soon followed his example.
At an early hour in the morning his room
mates were alarmed by the heavy breathing of
DR.. Buchanan, and one of them went immedi-
ately for DR.. HOdgen, whose residence was near
by. DIR. Hodgen used all the means in his
power to counteract the influence of the drug
and make an incision in the windpipe, but all
his efforts were unavailing, and the patient died
in half an hour after his arrival. ..
The following letter written by the deceased
after his arrival here, was found on the table,
addressed to Mr.. Hammet,a a medical student in
Philadelphia. 1t conclusively shows that he
had no idea of committing suicide--
ST. LOUIS, Feb g. 1870. D. or Dock Hammet.-Dear
Friend:-I am spending this week in the city. Am
stopping at our old boarding house. Am down to
buy drugs. Dock you will please get the address of
some OF the best drug houses there. send the adj
dress or bring it to me, or have them to send me
their price current at Moberly and obge me. am
In good health Jim is writing to Hall now. He
win give the news here Moberly is lively. We had
some smallpox, but that is all over now II. M.
Porter has moved out and he and others are driving
fine business in real estate.
Respects to Hall. Hoping that you will both come
home with all the honOrs OF the school, and inviting
you both to call and see me, am yours, etc,

Monday, Feb. 2, 1870 !
The supply of currency in this market is less
redundant, apparently, but it is still ample for
all demands, and the rates remain, in the main,
without much change. The Funding and Cur
rency bills now pending in Congress give
general satisfaction except to the banks, which
don't relish the prospect of having per cent.
bonds forced upon them in the summary manner
proposed, and there are good reasons for be-
lieving that every effort will be made to oppose
its final passage. Whether these efforts win be
successful or not time will tell, but both schemes
have their foes as well as their friends.
We quote on call at 5@6 per cent. on
good collaterals, and choice business paper
having sixty or ninety days to run, at 7@S per
cent
Gold is in more active demand for business
purposes and the premium is steady at about

Femininive Branch of Masonry Mt Chicago
The "Eastern starr
1t is now but about three years since a regular
organized branch of Masonry for women has
been organized. At the time indicated, Robert
Morris, Esq, of Kentucky, prepared series of
lectures and devised ritual that should embrace
certain points of the Masonic rites to which
ladies might be eligible. Previous to this there
had been the "Families," an informal organiza-
ton which included women, but which had
nothing. definite in the shape of principles or
rules. Mr. Morris was and is well known to the
fraternity as an able writer, and excellent lee
turer and writer upon subjects pertaining to the
craft, and his proposition to form societies of
the nature in question was very favorably re-
ceived, and is now being adopted in several
cities. The order is denominated the Eastern
Star" branch of Masonry and is subdivided into
chapters, each of which has an appropriate
name. No ladies can be admitted who are not,
or have not been, Immediately related to a mas
ter Mason, either as wife, mother, daughter or
sister. The order consists of five degrees, all of
which are taken at one time. and it has a COM
plete code of grips, signs, passwords, etc. The
Chicago division of the order of the Eastern Star
is known as Miriam Chapter, No. /, and was
organic ed about one year ago.
