VICTIM OF REMORSE.
A Young Lawyer of New Orleans Blows
Out His Brains.

II 1OunG Lawyer OF new orleans BLOWS
Out His Brains.
NEW ORLEANS, La, April 15.-I.ate
Monday night, Joseph S. Adams, at
torney- at-law, committed suicide by
shooting himself in the heart with a,
revolver. He was seated in his parlor
at the time and had been reading. AS
soon as he had completed his book he
drew his revolver and blew out
his brains. Adams was engaged
some years ago in a difficulty
with a young man by the
name OF Fraklin Cash, whom he shot
and killed. This seemed to prey upon
his mind, although he was declared
not guilty, and he became morbid and
took to drinking. He had written on
one OF his business cards just previous
to the fatal shot: - think am do
ing right. | surrender as Lee did at
Appomattox. l only knew this two
days. ago" Adams was a young man,
only 33 years of age, and left wife
and three children.

Decline to Partake.

A Montreal dispatch of the 10th SAYS:
"Great surprise has been caused here by
the receipt Of news that the Sixty-ffth
(MontreaI) regiment of volunteers now at
Calgary refuses TO proceed against Riel,
making the excuse that they need equip
ments. Col. Ouimet of the regiment has re-
turned to Winnipeg. This is the only
French Canadian regiment of Montreal and
it's refusal to proceed is generally supposed
to be due to unwillingness to be led against
the French half-breeds under Riel''

prised to learn that DR., Warren at

The Government Gaugers Anaiyze
"Aromatique" Before Jury.
The Intoxicating qualities of a prepa
ration known as Aromatique, put up
by SolomOns & Co., wholesale druggists
of Savannah, were tested IN the United
States District Court yesterday in the
case of the United States VS.. John Smith.
The defendant is a merchant doing bust
ness in Appling county. and is under in
dictment tor violating the revenue law by
selling Intoxicating liquors without
license. The article sold was the prepa-
ration called ArOmatiQue. 1t was claimed
on behalf OF the accused, and by Solo
mons & Co., who put up the preparation,
that it is medicine sold as country mer-
chants sell other patent medicines, and that
it is net in the purview of the United States
statutes requiring license to sell liquors.
The government cOntended that 1t is an
Intoxicating liquor, sold in that form to
evade the revenue laws, and that it is en-
braced by the statute requiring license
to sell liquors.
The case was holly contested by Dis
trict Attorney Darnell for the United
States. and J. j. Abrams for the defend
ant. The District Attorney placed the
revenue gaugers, with their bydrOmeterS
and other instruments for testing liquors,
on the stand, and had bottle of the prep
aratiOn analysed in the presence of the
jury. The gaugers said that it contained
70 per cent. OF proof spirits, and that its
other elements are oil of juniper, glyce-
rine and water. Itwas shown that Smith
had sold large quantities of it, and that
it had made those who used it drunk in d
number of instances. 1t was claimed on
behalf of Smith that the preparation only
contains about % per cent. of alcohol.
The jury was out several hours, and re-
turned a sealed verdict yesterday evening
after the court had adjourned.
Apping is a prohibition county, and it
is said that ArOmatique is an exceedingly
popular medicine there, and that it is
rapidly coming into favor in other coun-
ties
