OBMTUAR N.
WILLIAM H. YEOMANS.

William H. Yeomans, who died yes- terday at Bridgeport, was long and fa- vorably known in this city and along the line of railway between Providence and Waterbury and Hartford and Millerton. He commenced as brakeman on the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill rail road about 1853 and soon, by his genial and prompt attention to duty, became worthy of promotion, which was speedi- ly gained, and for many years he was the popular and efficient passenger con- ductor between Willimantic and Water bury and between Providence and Hart ford. In many cases he was detailed for special services which required the exercise of good judgment and careful executive ability. In 1871 he was placed in an important position on the Connect icut Western railroad and soon became it's superintendent and held the position about four years. After leaving this road he returned to his farm in Colum- bia and for about two years lived there, except when occasionally called to assist on his old road, Hartford, Providence and Fishkill. Soon after he was ap- pointed superintendent of the Housa- tonic railroad by it's president the Hon William H. Barnum, and had perform ed that duty with credit and acceptabil- ity ever since. He was very careful, pleasant and reliable man, who made and retained friends. His judgment was very sound and he had remarkable common sense. He had a vast number of acquaintances and friends, who will remember him kindly and sincerely mourn his death. His old associates will miss his genial companionship and salutations.
 Few of Mir Yeomans' friends were aware that his illness was serious one. It was well known that he had been at- tackled by congestive chill on Saturday last while in his office. He went at once to his boarding house and without tell ing anyone that he was i'll went to bed. His condition was discovered that night by some inmates of the house, who heard him grooming, but he refused to call doctor till Tuesday. His family were sent for and were in attendance until his death. His illness rapidly passed from congestiVe chill to pleu. risy and later pneumonia developed. MI Yeomans retained his wonderful cool. ness to the last, inquiring not ten min. utes before his death, if the pay cal had gone out and who ran it and adding that that was the first time he had failed to go with the car since he became su perintendent of the road. The remains were taken to Columbia, where the farm which was one of the greatest objects oi interest in his unassuming and quiet life, is located. Mir Yeomans was twice married and leaves besides his wife two sons-one in charge of the home farm and the other an express messenger or the Air Line railroad a daughter about 10 years old. The funeral ser vices will take place Tuesday at P. N --HarVord COaraat, April II.

 Every one in this section of the Poughkeepsie district is pleased with the New York conference appointments for the ensuing year. Changes of course have been made where the allotted time, the limit of 8 pastorate has expired, but well-known and favorite ministers have been appointed to fill such vacancies. Rev D. Phillips moves to Hillsdale; Rev W. A. Mackey comes back among dear friends to Sheffield and Rev Robert Hunt to Lee, so we shall consider them and hope to often meet them and their families, and probably by way of exchange we shall occasionally have the pleasure of hearing these old friends preach.

SMALLPOX Dying Out.
Special to the Globe.

SpSCldl W Iuc OlODe.
MONTREAL, Nov. 29.-The smallpox
epidemic in this city is rapidly disappearing.
the average deaths daily during the week
being ten, against twenty the previous
week, twenty-five the week before and
thirty-three the first week in this month.
The total deaths for this week were seventy,
as compared with 40 last week. In the
suburbs the mortality was forty, fourteen
less than the previous seven days. On the
21st inst. twenty-seven houses in the city
were sealed up and guarded by health
officials, with patients in them suffering
from the scourge. This morning
the list of infected dwellings con-
sisted of only sixty. The re-
mainder were disinfected, the patients
being convalescent or removed to Civic hos
pital. The number under treatment in the
hospital is 219, which includes patients
from all outlying villages. To perfect iso-
lation and vaccination are attributed the re-
duciion in the number of deaths and new
cases, both being very small. A great re-
duction in the staff of the health depart
ment this week has taken place. The
amount expended by the health board up
to the present, contributed by the city
treasury and private citizens, in stamping
out the scOurge, exceeds $100, 600.

Will Stay in WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov 29.-The president
this afternoon determined not to make the
trip to Indianapolis. To reporter he said:
In the first moment of the shock of Mr.
Hendricks death l yielded to my inclination
and declared my intention to be present at
the funeral. OF course. in reaching that
conclusion, did not put out of view per-
emptory press of public business, or what l
deemed a sufficient consideration of my duty
to the people The spublic business thought
1 could dispose of by additional application
and more hours of work. and considered it
to be my duty to the people to answer ten
der sentiment of respect and affection to the
dead vice president, which does them great
honor. l am satisfied now that was at fault
in considering the question, in that I did not
take as comprehensive view of the duty
owe the public as / should; that is, I did not
look at every phase of it, and l am afraid
my strong personal desire somewhat
clouded my Judgment. am now
reminded by some of the best and most
patriotic and thoughtful of my fellow citizens
that the real and solemn duties of my office
are ct the national capital; and that in the
present peculiar and delicate situation
ought not even to take even the remote
chance of an accident incident to travel to
crafty a sentiment so general and so charac-
teristic as that involved in this subject. l
have been profoundly impressed by these
considerations, but most OF all Influenced by
their strong and unanimous presentation by
the devoted friends of the late vice president
living in his state and city, and their indorse-
ment by the noble and patriotic woman who,
in the infinite sorrow of her widowhood. re-
meets the character of her honored husband
IN her Sollcltude for the public good am
now certain that neither my desire nor the
sentiment referred to, nor the difficulty that
attends the case, change of design. nor
any stubborn idea of heroism will Justify me
in subjeeting the country to any greater
chance of disaster than attends nv perform-
ance of strict duty here, and that / ourht not
to lnfict on my countrymen even the unrest
aud anxiety attending my departure, absence
and return, in attendance upon the funeral
ceremonies.

will only come out of the contest irritated

the text. Do as these disciples of the text
did-go and tell Jesus. Go into His pres

the wounds of thy head, the wounds of thy
side, and by thine own wounds ask thee

burden. Oh, abused soul, go and tell
Jesus! Blessed be God! The One to whom
these disciples went has all power in heaven

SEVEN LIVES WASTED.
A Physician Ruins Himself and
Family by the Use of Cocaine.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Dr. Charles A.
Bradley, "a physician of this city, was taken
to the Washington home yesterday men
tai and physical wreck, wrought by the i'm
moderate use of cocaine. Not only the pa
tient himself. but his entire family, consist
ing Of a wife and five children. have been
practically ruined by his excesses. On
Friday, the patient, accompanied by some
friends, was taken before Judge Prender-
CAST. The insane case proper had been dis
posed of and the room was almost clear of
the usual crowd of curious spectators.
There was no jury. and the affair was con-
Quoted as quickly as possible. 1t
was shown that DR.. Bradley, quite
prominent physician, had been addicted
to the use of cocaine to such an extent as
to render him practically insane. The story
was told that the doctor had under its infu-
ence performed experiments on his family
that have made them physical wrecks. His
claim was that he could inject hydrochloral
without pain, and remove the flesh without
pain to the patient. He injected some of it
into his own arm, and with red-hot iron
burnt it out without finching. Some more
of it he injected into his three-year-o old
child, and then with knife cut out the
flesh, the little one apparently suffering no
pain. He used the drug promiscuously in
the family and became himself slave to it,
until in little time his practice fell away
and his family was
REDUCED TO WANT.
Under the influence of the stuff he
claimed he was its discoverer, that it would
revolutionize medicine, and the world
would recognize in him benefactor whose
name would go down to the ages. He be-
came a fanatic On the subject. wild
dreamer. He mortgaged all he possessed,
even his horse and buggy, to pursue his IA
vorite study. His wife is an invalid. and
his children are ruined in health. Their
condition was heartrending in the extreme.
The scene in the court room was dramatic.
The poor victim seemed to realize his situa-
ton and, suddenly raising his voice to a
high pitch and becoming highly excited,
called on God to help convince the judge
and the physicians that his theory was right.
DR.. WadsWorth testified that he believed
and morphine, and DIR. r. f. Brown, who
and thought DR.. Bradley should be confined
in an institution. They believed him hope
less case of insanity, but as an experiment
suggested that lie be sent to the Washing
tonian home, where his case can be closely
watched. 1t was so ordered. He COM
menced the habit about the last Of May and
it has grown on him gradually
until it's elimination in the ruin
of seven people. Three of the
children were sent to St. Vincent's hospital
and his wife and the remaining two chill
dren to st. Joseph's. 1t is considered
doubtful whether any of them will recover
their normal condition.

SHOT TO KILL.
A Young Desperate Attacks Two
Business Men.

Business Men.
Special to the Globe.
ADRIAN. Mich, Nov. .29.-At the village
of Tecumseh, ten miles north of this city,
desperate shooting affair occurred last
evening, the assalant being Aaron Palmer.
about 80 years of age, of desperate anteced-
ents, and his victims, Rumford p. Anderson
and his younger brother, Erwin B., men,
bers of the firm of A. Anderson & Sons,
grocery and provision dealers of that place.
Palmer is unmarried and resides with his
father. Early in the evening he created a
row in the Salvation army barracks. but
was elected and taken home. About 1880
o'clock he again came down town, having
with him lantern. He went to the post
Office and made himself very offensive, and
finally drew knife with blade about four
inches long. Mr.. Rumford P. Anderson,
who was on friendly terms with Palmer,
attempted to placate him. While talking
with him Palmer, who was considerably
inebriated, used his lantern to show Mr..
Anderson the various railroad signals.
Flourishing his lantern he said. ''This is
the danger signal" at the same time draw
ing revolver and discharging it. The ball
struck Mr.. Anderson just below the collar
bone, passing upward and out at the
shoulder. The
WOUNDED MAN FELL
and just then the younger brother grasped
the assassin from beend and attempted to
pinion his arms. Palmer raised his revol-
yer over his head and fired four times, three
of the balls taking effect. He also fred
once after the wounded man fell, and
dashed his lantern to pieces on the heads
and faces of his PROSTATE victims. AS he
| fired the crowd scattered in all directions,
| and the ruffian was enabled to make his
| flight unobstructed. AS soon as the villa
gers could gather their senses word was
sent to the city and Sheriff Whitmore with
posse started for the scene. Searching
parties were organized and reward Of
$3.50 was offered for the assassin dead or
alive. Two hundred men have been
securing the territory all day, but up to p.
m. he had not been brought in. Should he
be taken by the the officers he will be
brought to this city; but if he falls into the
hands of the villagers he will be assuredly
lynched. The first of the brothers shot at,
it is believed, may recover. The second
one is said to be shot in the breast and
head. One eye is destroyed by powder and
the heads and faces of both are badly cut by
blows from the lantern. In October Palmer
got in a row with Tom Vanscykles at the
rooms of Maud Mcdowell, and attempted
to shoot him. He was arrested then,
charged with assault with intent to murder,
but subsequently tried for simple assault,
and escaped with nominal punishment.

a Fighting Mayor.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 29.-P. Booker
Reed. mayor of Louisville. and Wharf
Master Charles Kremer had street fight at
noon, and the mayor was knocked down
and considerably bruised about the face:
The difficulty had its origin in the heated
aldermanic race in the Seventh ward, in
which the two are supporting rival candi-
dates. Kremer says he knocked Reed down
because the mayor tried to bribe and intimi-
date him into supporting the administra-
ton candidate. The affair is the talk of
the city. This is Mr. Reeds third en-
counter since he was elected mayor.

10 IH6 OIOU6.
WABASH, Ind, Nov. 29.-The church
investigation of Rev. David Spiker, who
was charged with maintaining illicit rela-
tions with the sister of his deceased wife,
which has been in progress several days,
has drawn to close. The evidence against
Spiker, who is prominent man in Lu-
theran church circles in his section, was
overwhelming, and both he and the woman
were expelled. Although he declared pre-
vious to the trial that he would make a
vigorous defense he did not appear in
answer to the summons, and this was ac-
cepted as an evidence of his guilt. The
case excited great deal of interest among
Germans throughout the country.
