DR.. Tan nher.

New YORK Aug, 5-Dr. Tanner is
much attenuated. He had several at
tacks of nausea Tuesday night but, on
the whole he rested and slept as much as
could be expected. In accordance with
the decision made yesterday, he did
not take his usual ride this morning,
About 9 q. m. he was dressed and sat in
his easy chair, where he remained
most Of the morning, though the visi-
tors would have bsen glad for their
own amusement, to have seen him
walk about. He drank several ounces
Of spring water, and soon after COM
olAined of "not feeling we'll at ALL"
lie expressed to DR.. Stone his belief
th at srme one had been tampering with
the spriug water brought from Central
Park, as ne had felt worse since drink
ing it, and he had understood that those
having heavy bets OF the fast would be
tempted to drug the water. Later in
the day bis condition Improved, and he
appeared better than for several days
past, this being attributed to the con-
sciousness of being so near the end OF
his extraordinary task. Among his
letters to-day was one from Philadel-
phia physician, who expressed fears
for the expsrimenter when he should
begin to take fcod, and advised him to
take at first beef tea made on f1sxseed,
in tablespoonful doses. He also urged
DR.. Tanner not to discredit his scien-
tifc test by accepting any offers from
shoWmen.

Being Married FOur Months. En.

On the seventh day Of last April
Annie Kelley, aged about seventeen
years, was married to Martin Reynolds,
an employe Of the Lobdell Company.
The young lady is described as being
quite prepossessing;she having nicsly
proportioned form. pretty face, light
auburn hair and dark blue eyes. The
man to whom she was married appears
to be considerably her senior, 1t be-
ing asserted that he is between forty
and fifty years OF age.
After the marriage they boarded for
a short time with the BRIDES mother.
Next they went to housekeeping on
Railroad avenue near Lombard street,
but subsequently moved to Fifth street.
By this time the husband perceived
that his pretty wife had an indomitable
temper, which it was truly difficult to
curb. The couple lived very unhsppi.
ly and two weeks since the lately. we'd
ded bride sold all the household effects
and returned to her mammals home at
No. 800 +. Front street.
A few days ago the husband unable
to bear being separated from bis wife
also returned to the mothers abode.
In very brief time the old, snarling,
troublesome disposition asserted its
power and not only was the man dis
satisfied but also was the young
womau's relatives. Things continued
thus until yesterday at noon, when
taking advantage of her husbands alb
sence Mrs. Reynolds procured an
empty vial and sent Laura Naylor, q
child aged about 10 years,to Hartman's
drug store after two ounces Of lauda-
num.
Obtaining that for which she had
been sent the little girl returned. but
as she was about to pass her own home
she was stopped by her mother who,
devining the unhappy woman's intent,
took the drug from the ohild's hands
and returned it to the druggist. Mrs
Reynolds desiring not to be frustrated
Immediately went to Danforth's drug
store and procured a quantity Of
laudanum.
In the meantime Mrs. Kelley had told
officers Thomas and Gotschmer and
when she returned with the drug the
officials snatched it from her grasp. In
her fury she grasped knife and en-
deAvored to cut her throat. In this
she was again foiled. The officers leav-
ing for an instant she escaped into the
street and ran down Front to Poplar,
and up Poplar to Second street, where
she was stopped and returned home.
The woman threatens to take her life
at some future time.
