store, on the opposite corner, about
O'Clock in the morning. He was apparent
ly in the best of moods and cracked a
joke with the drug clerk as he asked
for ten cents worth of the poison, hand
ing him tumbler to put it in. When he
reached the hallway of his residence he
swallowed the laudanum, and, going into
the liquor saloon on the lower floor, he
had the glass partly filled with whisky,

DR.. Cruel, at 9O3 North Fifth street, and
told him what had occurred.
When the physician arrived he found
Connerton lying on the bed, but without
any visible signs of illness. When asked
why he had taken the poison he replied
with laugh: 81 only did it to frighten
my wife that little dose would not kill

English Impressions on tho Death of capt
Webb.
London dispatch to Boston Globe.
The professional swimmers Of London
have organized a series of performances
for the benefit of the widow of Captain
Webb. The London press, on the first re
ceipt of the news of Webb's drowning,
bitterly denounced the American specula-
tors and railways who, it alleged, had in
duced Webb to undertake task which he
could not comprehend, but which they
must have known was fatal, for the meau
motive of making money out of the excur-
sion they calculated would be got up to
witness the scene. The London papers
based their denunciatiOn upon the story
they had to the effect that combination
of Yankee spectators had agreed to give
Webb $1O.0 for undertaking to swim.
Officials OF some of the railroads hap
pening to be in London, at once made
public denial of the bonus story. and
the papers which printed it have re-
tracted and now call Webb fool,
and say he must have become derangod be
fore he undertook, for remuneration even.
struggle with Niagara The common
people were proud of Webb, particularly
because of his success in swimming across
the channel, and they have made many
manifestations of their grief for the loss Ol
the man whom they regarded as the finest
development Of an English athlete. At
the Crystal Palace last night there was a
grand exhibition of fireworks which had
been long in preparation. The whole
audience hissed the fire-picture OF
Niagara Falls because it didn't contain a
portrait of Webb. Murphy, the Preston
butcher, who has often challenged Webb,
aud who had always contended that Webt
would never succeed in breastiDg the
Niagara whirlpool, has also met with a
death similar to that which overlook the
captain. Murphy on more than one oc
casion challenged Webb to dare with hin
the Pebble whirlpool. Murphy undertook
to swim this fearful pool on the very day
Webb attempted the Niagara, and Was
drowned.

THE SCENE OF THE SLAUGHTER.
A Famous Resort Which IL in the Centro

A Famous Resort Which is in tho Centro of
tho Earthquake Zone.
Cassamicciola, the scene of the last ter
rible slaughter by an earthquake, has been
a watering place and summer resort for
two thousand years. It was celebrated for
its baths long before the opening Of tho
Christian era, having been deserted in the
year 474 3. G. by its inhabitants because
of an eruption of the volcano Epomeo,
which has been quiet and harmless since
the year 1902. The freedom from volcanic
eruptions was purchased at the expense of
increased damage from earthquakes. 1t
is situated on the island of Ischia, fifteen
miles westward from Naples, and is
reached by sailing down the bay. The
population of the island is less than thirty
thousand, of whom something more than
four thousand are residents of Casamicci-
ola, which is the town of third i'm
portance on the island It is far
therest to the westward on the island, but
this is compensated for by the posses
sion of a fine harbor, which has made it
the landing place for travellers. The town
lies at the foot of the quiescent volcano
and is built on soil formed from the many
eruptions of past ages. The island lies
almost in the centre Of the earthquake
zone of the Eastern world, which is sub
ject to these internal convulsions at all
times. Casamicciola has suffered severely
many times before this, though never so
seriously as upon the present occasion. 1t
was almost entirely destroyed in February,
1928, the shock only continuing three
seconds The next and most serious visi
tation until the present one was in March,
1881, when a shock lasting seven seconds,
accompanied by noise like subterranean
thunder, visited the town, destroying 300
houses and leaving 400 people killed or
injured.
