DEATH OF JOHN Nc

q GreviOus Mystery.

GreVlOuS mystery.
On yesterday morning at O'clock
John Mcbride became inanimate.
Between four and five the even
ing before he called at the drug
store of Reber & Co., and purchased
% cents worth Q6gr.) of Sulphate
Morphia, saying that he wanted to
use it in making salve. We are
told that he went home almost i'm
mediately and remarked to his wife
that he would lie down and "take
nap" In few minutes supper
was ready and when he was called
they were unable to awake him,
and at once sent for DIR. Camp
bell who discovered that he was
suffering from the effects of Nor
phia. The DIR. at once applied the
stomach pump and thoroughly
washed out the stomach, but too
much of the dread drug had already
been absorbed, although not more
than thirty minutes had elapsed
from the time of his leaving the
drug store until he received treat
ment. BY weighing what remained
the of Morphine it was found that
he had taken between Al and 8
grains. Although every possible
treatment was presistently admin
istered by Drs. Campbell, Pullen
and Blosser, who constantly at
tended him, he never rallied or
showed any signs of consciousness
up to the time of his death as stated
above. His family have the SYM
pathy of the whole community in
this, their sad bereavement.
Mr.. Mcbride was the Superin-
tendent of the Hooking Canal un-
der the last Democratic Board of
Public Works, In which position he
rendered efficient service to the
State. He had also held several
other positions of trust and profit
of local character, and was of n
happy generous disposition and
was much respected in the cOmmu-
nifty. His funeral will occur from
st. JOhns' Catholic Church, Sunday
morning ut 10 o'clock, A, M.

EXCISE COMMISSION PROSPECTS,

Nothing definite has been agreed upon by the Al

nominees for Excise Comm ssloncrs. There Is ru-
NOR that the County Democracy Aldermen would
all be on hand on Tuesday ready 10 vote TO con-
firm. As there twelve of these 1t would only re-
qulre one more vote to make up the required num-
Der, majority of the Board. Alderman Van Rens-
selaer was spoken of as the Republican member
who might be Induced to vote for confirmation.
thus making the majority. Mr.. Van Rensselaer, Is
thoroughly independent and honest. No one would
impute improper mott, es to him. At the last meet
ing of the Board. when the nominations were re-
cevcd he declared his belief that the Mayor. uIder
the provisions of the Roosevelt act, had the power
TO appoint tho Commissioners without confirmation
by the Aldermen. lie has not yet said how he will
vote on the question of confirmation.
Ii Is doubtful whether all vi the Aldermen will
be present at Tuesdays meeting. Alderman
Jaehnes leave of absence expired on Saturday. but
IL is doubtful if he will sit in the Board before his
trial. Alderman De Lacy's counsel, Richard 5.
Newcombe, promises that his client will be here TO
answer the summons OF the Senate Committee. DE
Lacy friends do not believe that he will come
back. Aldermen Cowie, Morgan and Hunsickcr.
who. with Mr. Van Rensselaer,, are the Republican
members of the Board. will not vote to confirm.
Neither will the TammaDy members.
