The Late pr. J. HI. Robinson.


 The funeral of the late Dr. J. H. Robin son takes place this afternoon at two o'clock from his late residence, No. 64 High street. Dr. Robinson belonged to various secret so- cieties, including Wooster Lodge, F. A. M., City Lodge and Sassacus Encampment, I. o. o. F., the Knights of Honor and Washing ton Council o. U A. M. He also belonged to the Masonic and Odd Fellows mutual benefit societies, and had upon his life, it is said, from $1O, 900 to SIS, 1000 insurance The funeral will be attended by representatives of City Lodge, Sassacus Encampment, Washing ton Council and other organizations, and by delegation of the State Eclectic Medical society. The deceased had many friends. Gelsemium, or the yellow jessanine, which | the deceased took with the fatal result, has not b en used in practice but few years. | It is a febrifuge Cused in feVers) and is 8 | sedative, and has 8 paralyzing effect on the muscles of deglutition. It was by acci- dent discovered by southern planter who l had a severe attack of fever1 while on his plantation. He sent his servant out in the l garden to get certain root or herb to make him some tea, and the servant by mistake brought in yellow jessamine. It helped him
 so much that he thought it worth while to find out fully in regard to it, and found that
 the plant was gelsemium. It is used prin- cipally by the eclectic physicians, and it is not considered dangerous except in over doses Probably the medicine the doctor | intended to take was a sedative mixture
 which he had prepared, and which stood in
 a bottle in close proximity to the bottle of
 gelsenlium.
 He left letter of four pages in length to the Odd Fellows, written after he had become impressed that the potion he had taken
 would operate fatally, the substance of which
 is that he had taken the wrong medicine by mistake, and that it was in no way his fault
 that he was writing the letter fully satisfied | that he could survive but a short time, the
 medicine taken to throw of the poison hay l ing failed to accomplish the purpose. He
 further stated his wishes with regard to his funeral, in reference to the Odd Fellows, and
 mentioned the place where he would like to l be buried. He further commended his wife
 and daughter to the tender sympathies of the l brotherhood.

stood. MT. Rowe's suggestion was that the debts of the two towns be merged into one sum, and the whole Le assumed by the town as constituted after the annexation.
 There has long been desire on the part of the citizens of New Haven to have the har-
 bor territorially within her limits, for the harbor, though called New Haven harbor, might with much propriety be called East
 Haven harbor, as the town line of East Ha-
 ven runs through the middle of the channel
 and has been there since 1903.
 It has been attempted to get the Legisla-
 ture to set back the line, and much money
 has been spent for that purpose, but the line
 has been so long established that the Legisla- ture refused to changeit without East Ha- ven's consent. East Haven now consents to 6 division and New Haven has an opportunity to acquire the harbor, the river and the whole water front from Fair Haven down to Lighthouse Point. The territory comprises the very best land in East Haven, being mostly high and picturesque land, the very best location for residences around New Haven-Fair Haven Heights, Townsend avenue, where the residences of Messrs. Ben edict, Townsend, Mitchell and others are sit- uated, the beautiful Cove and Lighthouse Point, making taxable property of one and one-half millions which New Haven adds to her grand list as now valued, and which is liable to multiply in value in the course of a few years.
