A LILIP UTIAN TRAGEDY.
A Little Boy Drowned-Two Midget Prison.
ers and Three Tiny Witnesses.
New York Herald

There was a strange blending OF the
pathetic and the ludicrous yesterday in
a case which came before Justice Pat
terson in the Essex-Market Police
Court. 1t was, in fact, such a scene
as inevitably recalled Gulliver's adven-
lures in the land Of Liliput. JUS
tice Patterson is the Brobding-
nag Of the whole array Of
police magistrates. Before him
were two little midgets of prisoners and
near by three other Liliputians, who
were there as witnesses for the State.
The prisoners were William Fret, nine
years old, and his brother Jacob, aged
seven. They were charged with homi-
eide, the highest crime known to the
law, in wilfully causing the death Of
little Eddie Tempe, their seven-year-old
playmate. The witnesses were George
Nickle, seven years old Ira Norman,
six years old, and James Martin, seven
years old.
The statement made by the witnesses
showed that the children, all Of whom
live near together in Lewis street, were
playing at noon on Tuesday about the
dock at the foot Of Delaney street.
The pier is very much out Of repair,
and there is hole in it about which
some temporary rails have be- placed.
Little Tempe was playing near the hole,
when Willie Fret, seeing that he was
in danger, pushed him violently away
from it. bddie was thrown W against
Jacob Fret, and, with child-like thought
lessness and impetuosity, he pushed
Eddie away from him. Eddie's foot
struck log, and he fell backward into
the hole and was drowned under the
pier.
Mrs. Tempe is widow, and she SEEM
ed anxious TO have the three boys hang
ed or imprisoned for life when she APP
peared against them in court. When
little Jacob was asked by the big JUS
tice what he had to say TO the charge
made against him he resolutely refused
to say a word. At once his elder
brother spoke up and defended him,
saying it was all purely accidental, and
that none Of them had any thought OF
injuring another.
The Justice adjourned the hearing
till the afternoon. and sent Policeman
Skelly and Agent Young TO inquire
into the facts. Later in the day they
came into court again and reported that
the drowning Of the child Tempe, al
though caused by the push Jacob Fret
gave him. was undoubtedly accidental.
Against the protest Of Mrs. Tempe, the
Justice discharged the little prisoners.
All of the children we're poorly dressed
and wore caps, shirts, and little knicker-
booker trousers.

Poisoned by n Rival Doctor.
Dispatch TO the London Times


An extraordinary attempt made by a
French doctor to poison a rival prac-
titioner was brought before the Assize
Court Of Vaueluse yesterday. The
accused, DR.. Estachy, is a practitioner
at Pertuis, forty years Of age, and a
member Of the Legion of Honor. He
had the reputation Of being an able
but not very temperate man. Some
years ago another medical man,
DR.. Tournatoire, settled at Per-
tuis. Both doctors were candi-
dates for the post Of assistant to
the Juge de Paix, and the appointment
was given to Tournatoire. This rrita-
ted DR.. Estachy, and he inserted articles
in local newspaper which led to an
open quarrel. At political dinner at
Pertuis he made the remark that if he
gave vent to his feelings he would kick
Tournatoire out Of the room. In news
paper paragraphs he subsequently, spoke
OF certain person, known to this rival.
as q "Jesuit scamp, coward, and drunk
ard" He was accordingly brought in
November last before the Correctional
Tribunal on charge Of defamation, and
was sentenced to pay fine of 25f. and
25f. as damages.
Some Of his patients then left him
and called in his rival. This seems to
have excited him very much. He or
dered M. bureau, druggist, to pre-
pare an ointment, the chief ingredient
in which was atropine, and which he
said he meant to use upon his shoulder
to remove a pain. The ointment con-
tsined twenty-five centigrams of the
neutral sulPhste Of atropine in twenty

James Madison's Cotton-MiII.

RICHMOND, VA, August -, 1885.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The James Madison mentioned in
Mr.. r. A. Brooks letter in your to-
days issue lived in Caroline county,
Va, at Oxford" or what is now call
ed Fails Mills" on the North Anna
river, about one and half miles north
Of yerdon depot, on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway. At one time the i'm
provements at this place were quite ex-
tensive. 1t is the best water-pOwer on
the North Anna. Mr.. Madison at one
period of his life was quite well off,
but became very much embarraSsed-in
fact, insolvent-by going security for
the United States marshal about the
date of the letter referred to in Mr..
Kittridge'S inquiry. My impression is
that he was a bachelor, and left no
family to speak of; but of this ] am
not certain. lie was millwright by
trade. S. G. Redo.

Ave grams Of vaseline. The druggist
said that he would not have consent
ed to prepare salve containing so
much atropine for any one but medi-
cal man. The medicine was sent to
Estachy on January 9th. On the fol-
lowing day he bought four tarts. On
the 18th Of January there was found in
an omnibus packet bearing visiting
card with the words, "To be sent to
NJ. Tournatoire, doctor at Pertuis, vau-
cluse.r The packet was sent to this
address, and was found to contain four
tarts.
On the following evening Nine. Tour
natoire ate one Of the tarts. She i'm
mediately afterward felt very i'll. The
pupils Of her eyes became dilated, and
she could not read. Then she had
spasms and Authorizations, which con-
tinued all night. She thought that her
child was dead and that her husband
was going to fight duel. She recovered
on the following day. The next day
Claire Sazio, a maid servant, began to
eat another of the tarts for breakfast,
but it was so bitter that she did not
finish it. She suffered as her mistress
had suffered, but recoved her senses on
the following day. 1t was evident that
there had been poisoning in both cases,
and the symptoms could only be pro-
duced by vegetable poison derived
from the solanum family Of plants.
The two tarts which had not been eaten
were submitted to chemical analysis
and found to contain the neutral sui
phate Of atropine.
Suspicion fell on Estachy, who was
taken into custody. At first he pro-
tested Indignantly, then he said he had
sent the tarts, but only as a joke. 1t
was shown that forty-six milligrams at
least Of the poison had been introduced
into each of the tarts--a quantity suffi-
cient to cause death, and that there
had been a narrow escape for those who
had eaten them. The court ordered
the trial to be delayed until October.
