Smoked Himself TO Death.

NEW YORK, Oct. A case of nicotine
poisoning WAS reported to death commits
sioner Raymond Yesterday, the victim be-
ing Jas. c. Godfrey, aged AZ, Of 204 Wash
ngton Park, who died on September "a.
The certificate OF DR.. Chas. Corey, OF %
South Oxford street, pronounced the case
OF death to be asthenia, prolonged vomit-
ing, caused by cereba irritation and nco-
tine. Mr.. Godfrey, who was ex-
cessively fond Of strong cigars,
had retired from business, and
his active temperament, he felt, demanded
the narcotic influence Of tobacco. He
smoked so much that his nervous force was
drained and he was repeatedly warned by
his physicians that II he did not give up
smoking his nervous system, the weakness
OF which had already rendered him irris-
BILE, would be ruined. He tried to moder.
ate his appetite, but it was stronger than
his will. Mr.. Godfrey was hardly ever
without cigar in his mouth during the day
and evening.

As OTHERS SEE THEM.
A Prohibition Hubbub at the Hub-A Rich
Member Raises a Rich Scene.

BosToN, Oct. 4.-rhe meeting of the
Massachusetts, Temperance Alliance in tn is
city yesterday was u scene OF violence an
disorder such as is rarely witnessed. The
quarrelsome Prohibiionists did not come to
blows, but they assalled each other with vi
tuperation and abuse, and three women,
who are leaders, Of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, became conspicuous.
The row began over the case Of the million
aire constable II b, Faxon, OF Quincy, who
has deserted the Prohibition cause and gone
over to the the Republicans.
The advisory committee made report
denouncing all who affiliated with the Re-
publican party, and Mr.. FaXon made
sharp speech, In which he boosted OF the
great work he had done for prohibition in
the state, and sneered at the efforts OF his
friends, who nominated the Prohibition
ticket, as being like the man who wanted
to make great noise for little money,
and to carry out the project brought
an old tin pan for n drum, and In closing
said: II should be pleased to have some
one inform me what the Prohibitionists
have accomplished in Boston, the central
bee hive of the radicals, where they hold
open and secret councils. Echo answers,
'the city is In the hands OF the Butler dram
shop mob.
y Then the storm began in earnest. Adozen
persons were trying to speak at the same
time, as FaXon's taunts cut keenly. Mrs.
Richards, president Of the Christian Tempe
ance Union, fairly shrieked in her wrath.
She attacked Fayon in the btterest terms,
and when the chairman interrupted her,
she demanded that he be deposed
Mr., Foy quoted Wendell Phillips As hav-
ing said Mr.. FaXon had only wagcd guer-
lila war upon the liquor traffic. He charged
Mr. Faxon with an attempt TO deceive tenn
perance people into voting with the Rcpub-
lican party, which on the liquor question is
more hypocritical than any other.
After q noisy wrangle OF half an hour, in
which the Republican party was denounced
as a hypocritcal gang OF Office seekers,
they became so disorderly that many Of the
men left IN disgust, but the women kept at
their work. Mrs. Richards asserted thar II
the alliance did not strike out the name OF
MIR. Faxon from the report, God would,
"This, - she continued. lis no laughing
matter, after the infamous lies that have
been told here, that the Republican party Is
the party Of prohibition. Is the man
who says so u fool or q lunaticS II he
Is q lunatic God will have mercy on him,
and he won't have so many stripes. II he
Ia devil he must meet the consequences. -
Mr.. Bear Of Newton, asserted that OF all tho
men In this commonwealth Faxon has the
least influence to manage votes, and de.
nonnced Mr.. Robinson for afiiliating with

A Preacher sued for SANDER.

HEBRON, Oct. Al. B. fillmore, one
OF the weathest residents OF the village,
has sued his pastor Rev. G. B. Cutter Of
the Congregational church, for 1000 for
SANDER. The suit is based on a sermon
on "a Polygamist in Hebron, In which,
without mentioning names, the minister
took one Of his members sharply TO task for
having two wives. Fillmore, 1T appears, be-
came enamored OF Mrs. Yates and secured
a divorce in order TO marry his near love,
who also got rid of her husand through the
courts that she might become Mrs. Fill
more. This is the charge made by the
preacher. Both wives attended the
same church and when experiences
were in order at the regular weekly
PRAYER meeting, the presence Of
both ladies' made Mr.. Filmore's position
very unpleasant one. He had always been
an exemplary church member, and his only
fault Is said to be living in the same village
with a wife and an ex-wife. The affair has
stirred up bitter church fight.

LONDON, Oct. 4. "A Paris correspond.
ehl ct the Times says: Ut 10 new poslsi~e-
" Known that the illness was not the cause
OF the absence of Gen. Thibaudin. Minister
OF war; from the reception given King Al.
'onso at the Palace Elysees Sunday. He
voluntarily and ostentatiousIy held aloof
from the banquet so that the glaring gap
occassoned by his absence had TO be
tlled by an ad interim Minister OF
war Prime Ministery Ferry then thought
himself bound TO inform President Grew of
the dcplorable effect OF Thibaudin's con-
duet in political circles and upon European
opinion. Ferry, who Is backed by all the
ministers, declares that Gen. Millat will
never, with his consent, become Chief
General OF the staff, as the whole army
acknowledge that he Is unfit for the post.
Greyy shares in this opinion, and II Th-
baudin resigns the war portfolio on this
question, the President will not back him.
The Prince has rendered services to the
Republic which no other general would
probably have agreed to perform, and
which imposes upon the Cabinet the obli-
cation not to dismiss him, now that no
similar service is required OF him. There
IS thus difference Of opinion between
Ferry and Grevy, To this is reduced the
present difficulty, But II Greyy defends
Thi5audin he certainly will refuse to mix
in any intrigues aiming at the overthrow Of
Ferry. 1t is certain Thbaudn has re-
solved not to resign. The question will

Deputies meets
