\ Mysterious Death.

DR.. A. i. Stimmel, German physician,
recently of Chattanooga, died at Chicka-
manga, Sunday, from the effects of dose
of poison. The Times says:
Doctor Stimmel came to America from
Saxony about eight years ago, and first set
tied at Knoxville, Tenn. He proved un-
successful there and removed to ChOtta-
noOga, and after remaining here a short
time, went to North Carolina and from
thence to Nashville. where he entered a
medical college and graduated with distinc-
surgeon at the penIleuIlary, tut ms ftsUIess
disposition would permit him to remain no.
where, and he again returned to Chatta-
nooga and opened little drug store. stocked
with few hundred dollars worth of drugs.
He was a wild theorist, and allowed his the
ories to take precedence, to the loss of his
business. He was no manager, and lacked
the stability to succeed at any thing. About
three years ago he married very estimable
young lady, but the match proved unhappy,
his wild theories and semi-insane actions lily
suiting the domestic circle aud giving
rise to much unhappiness. After the sep
aration with his wife, he plunged deeper
than ever into his profession, and gave vent
to the most abstract ideas and senseless theo-
Ills ulllU WAS unsettled,
and on one or two occasions he threatened
to poison himself He was also addicted to
the use of drugs, and besides frequently
experimental on himself with poisons in
order to discover antidotes. A few weeks
ago he removed from Chattanooga to Chica-
mauga, where he opened a small drug store
and was gaining a small practice. :
Among other things was found prosy
treatise on Strvchnine and c3Ir1 q as an anti.
dote. This afforded the physician some
clew as to the cause of death, and an exam
ination developed the fact that he had in
jected curare into his arm. This seems to
explain his death, his wild desire to dis
cover an antidote for strychnine, evidently
having induced him to experiment on him
self, and in his efforts he overdosed himself,
with fatal result. This seems to be the
most plausible theory, though suicide, in
his mental arrangement, may have been in
tended"

torpedo at Newport, r T., yester>
day, has been received. Both of the
officers were in the inner harbor in
a torpedo launch and were putting
the torpedo In position, in order to
exhibit The experiment to Admiral
Porter. The torpedo was to be ex-
ploded by the breaking of an electric
circuit. Edes had the deadly mis-
sive in his lap, while Spaulding was
rowing the launch. The tide water
was low and the torpedo was
planted in about three fathoms of
water. Near by was the remainder
of the class, under instruction on
board. Admiral Porter, Captain
Selfridge and the officers of the tor-
pedo station were on Goat Island,
where the torpedo station is located,
for the purpose of witnessing the
experiment Edes leaned forward
to arrange The apparatus in the
water, when aloud noise and explos
sion were heard, and the two bodies
of the unfortunate men were seen in
the air The bodies went in the
air some thirty five feet, and with
them assembled the debris of the
boat. The workmen employed on
the station waded into the water
as soon as possible and recovered
all that was possible of the bodies.
The class Immediately returned to
the island, and an officer was detailed
to go to N4rragansett Pier and break
the news to Edes' wife, who had gone
there this morning for few days
visit. She belongs in Washington.
Spaiding, who was not married,
resided in Portsmouth, N. II.
The coroners jury brought in a
verdict to the effect that EIes and
Spalding had met their death by the
accidental explosion of a torpedo,
which wodid not have happened had
they followed instructions. No one
at the torpedo station is to blame.

A Visit to Mrs. Garfield, Sr.
From the New Castle Courant.

To-day, in the quiet little village of
Hiram, O., I had the pleasure of
spending several hours with Mrs.
Garfield, the aged mother of the
President, jovial, fresh-faced lady
of over SO pears, who still walks as
spry as a girl. Our gifted President
must have inherited much of his
marvellous energy from his little
mother, whose kindly, res0lute face
is only more delicate type of the
rugged features of her statesman
son.
With much vivacity she told us of
eariier days, when left widow with
four little children, her pioneer
neighbors offered to make a "bee
and split rails for fencing her land.
But when these helpers found that
this staunch young matron would not
furnish them whisky, according to
the custom then, they all quit their
work, leaving the logs only quartered.
But true to her principles, and noth-
ing daun ed, the grand little woman
herself took up the maui and, alone,
split sixty rails. She says: Every
time I lifted the maui, it was SO
heavy and l so slender, its weight
nearly pulled me backward" ''Are
you not proud to think of it now2'
asked her aged sister. Mrs. Boynton.
"O," answered Mrs. Garfield, 81 am
ashamed to think that men were ever
such slaves to whisky.
She says in those days she always
walked three miles to church, taking
off her shoes and stockings to wade
the Caagrin River, which ran between
her house and the meeting house.
With tears in her eyes, she told us of
every evening reading the Bible with
her youngest son, and said he always
was good boy.
How she loves this son-her
"baby,' as she twice called him.
With what grati6ed pride she refers
to Gladstone's sympathetic letter to
the Presidents wife. Mrs. DR.. Boyn
ton, who is present, speaks Of letter
from her husband, in Washington
which tells of the Presidents ex-
treme weakness after the last surgical
operation but this brave mother Of
a brave son said in answer Ny sor
will live. God will raise him up, fol
his work is not yet done"
