Death From a Drink.

WILLIAM PORT, PENN Oct. 29.-John
Chatham, OF Pine Station, has been
kno .,n as q heavy drinker, and has been
held up as an example to youths OF what
will follow the use OF intox
icating liquors. 1t was made known that
John died yesterday afternoon drinking
1 pint OF whisky. Chatham has been on
a protrac,ed spree for number OF days.
All his money was gone, be was thirst
ing for drink, and he walked to the
hotel bar and asked the bartender for q
glass of liquor. The bartender said to
Chatham: !. Ii you drink pint OF whis-
XIV you can have it for nothing" This
liberty astonished Chatham. Recover
inc himself he blurted out in an excited
manner: "Give me it and I'll drink it.
The barkeeper poured the pint of whis
ky in large whisky glass. Chatham
erasped the glsss in his hands, raised il
to bis lips, and never lowered it until thu
last drop gurgled down his throat
Smacking his lips he put the glass or
the bar, and rubbing his hands in ecstasy
be exclaimed as he to,tered toward th'
door: THAT has made new man
me-" He fell to the floor unconscious
the bystanders picked him mp, and OF
investigation the fact dawned upon then
that Chatham was dead.
