Aid of Strychnine.

Coroner Mcfarland held an inquest yes.
terday on the body OF A. X Plimpton ma
tive of M assachusetts, aged 4S, who died at
the Kimball Mansion, On New High street.
on Sunday afternoon, from an overdose of
stryehnine taken with suicidal intent. Mr..
NJ. II. Kimball testified that he had left the

and found him in convulsions, unconsoi
Gus. with his face loody and breathing
very hard. He was carried inside the house
and soon became conscious. Mr.. Kimball
asked his wife to telephone for physician,
isn't necessary. l fell down from the chair
and struck on my face He was carried
to his room in the evening, and on Sunday
morning said he felt pretty well. The wit
ness saw him last alive at noon, and at
O'Clock he was dead.
In one of the drawers of the bureau was
found letter addressed to the Coroner, and
one to the witness; also vial nall hlled
with s,rychnine. the letter TO the coroner
read as follows:
ITO obviate The necessity of you holding
an inquest over my remains, will state
that as am tired ollie, have taken strych-
nine to end it. A. X. PLIMPToN."
To Mr.. Ifimball he wrote this;
DEAR FRIEND:-I wish you would be kind
enough to have my remains buried in thel
Evergreen Cemetery, at as little expense as
possible, and for the amount incurred my
brother win send you draft; Everything

There was rather slim audience ut the
Armory Hall last evening to hear Hon. r.
d. W gginton's harangue on the American
que .tion. Mr.. wigginton denied that his
party was reorganization OF the old Know
Nothing party, since 1t was not proposed to
interfere with the rights oil foreigners al
ready here. but to prevent any more from
coming ilto tho country. There are, he
sal 500, 600 idle men and women willing to
work In the country now, and no increase
in their number Is de ired, either to vote or
hold offire. A. least one fourth OF the pres
ent voters In the country ought to bs dis
franchised. Speaking OF the Chanese,. he
said the question was practically settled,
excep as they became citizens of Mexico,
and might afterward immigraie to this
country MS Mexicans; but from political
standpoint the Chinaman is less objeutiona
BILE than the European--he does not want
to vote nor hold office, nor 160 acres OF land.
The most OF the speech was devoted 20 a
seriatim exposition of the platform of the
American party, du ing which he vigorous
ly protested that everything that Is In
this country aud government comes from
for. ign influence, and that both the old
political parties are entirely under that in
fnence, without single distinguishing
priue pie between them.
