The Danger OF IIypOdermIc Injection.
From the London Times.
Our Dublin correspondent writes under
date OF October %: IAN inquest vas held
here yesterday on the remains OF Miss
Frances Chapman, a governess, who died
on Tuesday from tetanus caused by sub.
cutaneous injection OF morpha by her
own hand, The case was a remarkable
one, and shows the danger OF allowing
poisonous drugs to be sold and used by
private persons. DR.. Abraham Meldon,
who was called In to see her on Thursday
last, deposed that he found her suffering
fion one Of the spasms OF lockjaw. She
told him that she had been in the habit
for years when attacked by neuralgia, TO
which she was subject, Of injecting NOR.
phia under the skin with needle, and that
she had used twelve grains OF morphia in
an injection that morning, and she showed
him lour papers. The ordinary dose was
from one.eighth to quarter OF a grain.
Twelve grains was an enormous dose and
proved that she had been long In the
habit of uSingit. There was no case on REQ.
ord Of similar quantity having been used
by any other person. Two or three years
ago case Of death from wound caused
by simultaneous injection, occurred in
London, but then the dose was only two
or three grains. he was Of opinion thai
the tetanus in this case must have beer
caused by injury to some nerve by the
needle Tbs use OF these hypodermil
needles by private peraons was highly
dangerous. He knew Of two Cises Of lock
Iiaw brought on by their use. He haC
made q post norton examination, anC
4 found III the bodily organs In a perfectly
healthy condition. The entire front 0
her person, however, was covered wit
linnumerabIe punctnred scars, produces
by he needle-asif, in fact, she had heel
| tattooed. From Monday until Friday sh
had NO power Of swallowing, but on Sat
urday she recovered the power. In a.

A PHYSICIANS ROMANCE.
Going to Louisiana to Marry a Widow
Who was BetrOthed to Him In
His Youth.

New York SUM-
DR.. w. Il. Hitchcock, of Newark,
IS to start for Louisiana this morning.
DR.. Hitchcock's father, DIR. Edward
De Forrest Hitchcock, was a wealthy
planter in Louisiana, His plantation
was known as M~onoskin." Adioin-
ing this was the plantation of a man
of large property, who had an only
daughter, a pretty, black-eyed child,
the companion and playmate of young
Hitchcock. The two planters, who
were bosom friends, conceived the
idea Of uniting their families in mar
riagc. Young Hitchcock and his
little playmate were accordingly be
trothed when he was ten and she was
eight years of age. The children were
given all the advantages of education
that the wealth of their parents could
procure. In vacation they played and
attended merry-makings together.
When young Hitchcock was eighteen
and the girl sixteen years of age, they
confirmed their betrothal by a formal
engagement of marriage. In time
there were lovers quarrels between
them, and finally their engagement
was broken off. A man of wealth and
position sought the girls hand, was
accepted, and married her. Young
Hitchcock, who was then nineteen,
came North, entered the medical de-
partment of Yale College, and at the
beginning Of the rebellion enlisted as
assistant surgeon in the regular United
States army, He served three years
and then began the practice of medi-
cine in New Haven, Conn. He was
told that the husband of the girl he
loved was in the Confederate army.
In 1868 DR.. Hitchcock removed to
Newark and opened a drug store in
Belleville avenue. He became at once
q favOrite with the veteran soldiers in
Newark. He was a fair musician, and
sang in church choirs and in public
concerts in Newark, and was a well
come guest in the drawing-rooms of
the best society. He wa handsome
and aTable, but he was observed to
prefer the society Of men to that of
women. He had not forgotten his
love, but he confded it as a secret to
only a few of his most intimate friends.
About six months ago he received a
letter from Louisiana. 1t was from
the woman who was always in his
thoughts. She wrote that her hus.
band had been dead for some time,
and that her married life had been
unhappy. She suggested that she
would be glad to hear from her old
schoolmate. DR.. Hitchcock answered
the letter, and the correspondence
terminated in a re%-engagement o fmar-
riage.
DR.. Hitchcock's Newark friends
gave him a pleasant send-off last even
ing.

rod was arrested and conveyed to the
lookup.
Only five persons were before the
recorder this morning. OF these, two
being plain and ~inofensivo DRINKS,
were discharged. One for peddling
without license was also let off under
conditions.
James Rider, for disordcrly conduct,
was before Recorder Porter this fore
noon. He was fined SO, or 20 days
on the force. James went into a
saloon on Main street, filed himself
with drinks and then declined to
square off in any other way than by
swearing off.
The only money taken in at the
Police Court this morning was s., as a
fine from Charles Greenlaw, who came
IN from his cotton patch and went on
a tear, landing in the lookup very
drunk. Charles went to his merchant
and received an advance, paid his
score and made tracks to his home in
the woods.
The police and fire force still la.
ment the absence of the paymaster. A
slight installment on account would
relieve their necessities. The month
Of January, when we had no legal
government, is also among the objects
OF interest and discussion with those
who served, but as yet know not
where recompense is to be sought.
