SUSPICIOUS CASE.

Coroner Herman yesterday afternoon received
q note, signed James Morand, in which it was
stated that William Nagel, child, had died under
suspicious circumstances, corner of 130th street
and Fourth avenue. Mr.. MOrand stated that
prescription given had been Gled at q drug
store and the medicine administered to the
child, two minutes after which death en-
sued. The father placed o small particle of
the medicine on his tongue and experienced
a severe burning sensation. The druggist being
called upon with portion OF the medicine imme-
its place. which induces Mr.. Morand to believe that
the FIRST medicine put up was poison. In short the
writer OF the letter thinks the matter needs inves-
tigation, and due attention will be paid TO 1t by
the Coroner.
The Board OF Health will withhold certificate In
the case for the present.

American challenge issued by Colonel MCDANIEL
has attracted no attention from racing men. Not

and Whitehall were standing at the WatfOrd sta
