A NIGHT OF HORROR.

David Atkinson Takes Morphine and
Compe1s His Wife to See Him Die.
The suicide of David Scott Atkinson in
Chicago few DAYS ago is described at length
in the News of that city. He was a hard
drinker and subject to fits of melancholia,
and was also often very cruel to his wife.
The day before his death he drank heavily
all day His wife was, therefore, somewhat
surprised wheu at two O'Clock in the morn
ing he came home in an apparently pleasant
frame of mind. He spoke to her with un-
wonted kindness, undressed leisurely and got
into bed. He neglected, however, to turn
out the light.
"Dave, are you going to leave that light
burninga" asked his wife.
eyes," he replied, shortly, "Tve some
thing to attend to-"
Then he got out of bed, took small par
eel out of one pocket of his clothes, a knife
out of another and said calmly: "This is
morphine, Theresa, my dear. am going to
going to lie right there and watch mo go into
hell. You will keep perfectly still or I shall
be compelled to kill you. I am about to
punish you as wife never, never was pun
ished by her husband before"
"My Lord, Dave" exclaimed Mrs. Atkin-
son, sitting up in bed in wild alright and
apprehension; ''don't do that. Don't kill
yourself here. Let me out at least SO that
won't have to see you die."

glance at her. ''Oh, no" he continued i'm
perturbably, "you don't know me. I have
made up my mind to die and die am going
| to. You shall see me draw my last breath. u
Having taken large quantity of the drug
he laid the paper a chair by the bed and
solemnly delivered the following ante-mor-
| tenn speech to his terrified wife: ''Theresa,
I am going to die. You will miss me. You

wife should. You have not been true to me.
I am going to punish you"
At this point Mrs. Atkinson interrupted:
s'Dave, for Gods sake let me up! Let me
leave the ROOM" she cried.
"No, you lay still and don't talk so loud
no one must hear me, !" was the suicides i'm
perative response.
Atkinson then got into bed and his wife
attempted to get out ssNo you DON'T he
said, stopping her. "You lay still if you
don't want to go to - with me. i
shouldn't like to kill you if can help it."
Then he IS suddenly got out of bed again,
saying: 'fThat dose wasn't strong enough
guess I'l take another" and with that he
deliberately took some six or seven grains
more of morphine. After placing his revol-
yer under his pillow he sat down on the edge
of the bed and held up the door key, which
he had kept in his hand all the time, trium-
phantly to his wife
''Say, wife, wouldn't you like to get this
key?" he said.
His spouse replied BY grabbing de1terous-
ly at the key.
Quicker than thought the morphine eater
hurled her back across the bed and savagely
told her that if she made another such at
tempt he would kill her as he would dog
S'Don't try me that way again., he contin-
ued, glaring at her. 81 haven't any too
much love for you and if you fool with me
again all hi won't save you. You have got
TO see me ole and you m1gnJ as well make
up your mind to it. Guess I amt taken
enough yet"
Then the man stood up and emptied the
remsinder of the morphine into his mouth.
The three tremendous doses of the deadly
drug now began their work. The victim lay
down on the bed, stretched himself at full
length and breathed hard and irregular1y.
Fearing for the key he clasped both hands
about it and held it with all his remaining
strength. He gazed fxedly at the ceiling.
II am going. Theresa" ," he said in an un-
steady voice. "I am going. You will be
sorry when am dead You will find the
money in the vault. The watches are there
too. So are my rings. 1 don't owe any
body. You can have them all. 1 hadn't

enough. This will last you forever. You
will never forget this night. You will never
forget my dying words-my dying breath.

will miss-me and-wish me back-good- by
-Theresa-good-by Theresa-I'm going"
Then his breath fell short he whispered un =
intelligently, tried to speak and became un-
conscious. His wife, shaking with fear and
horror, called to him, grasped his hands, un-
loosened them, seized the key, unlocked the
door and rushed into the hall screaming. In
moment she had summoned the landlady
and her husband to the scene. The uncon-
scious man breathed at intervals, but before
medical aid could be summoned he was dead.
''It all seemed like pleasant dream to
him." said his wife afterward, ''but it was a
horrible nightmare to me-"

THIS IS A FREE Country. The Boz
COTT ATTACKS FREEDOM.
GOVERNMENT RAILROADS.


A special cable dispatch to the New York
| Tribune gives the substance of an important
| and interesting paper prepared by CT aries
Waring, one of the best known railroad con-
| tractors of England. This paper advocates
the purchase of the English railroads by the
government, and is understood" to repre-
| sent the views of Mr.. Chamberlain and
| many of the Liberal Radicals.
Mr.. Waring cites the postal telegraph sys-
| tenn as step toward the new measure. The
profits of traders, he says, are now deter
| mined by the rates of private companies, and
this acts in restraint of exchange. The
growth of commerce would be both rapid
| and large if traders could be as sure before
hand of the cost of carriage on each transac
| ton as they are now of letter postage or tele-
gram rates. He points out that of the pres
| ent railroad capital of England, e250, ,000, 900
| receives from to per cent interest, ESQ.,,
| 000, 900 from to per cent, EGO, ,000, 900
| from to z per cent. and Ell, ,000, 900 over
| per cent, when the normal interest rate has
/ fallen in twenty years from 5 to 8 1-2 per
| cent. and is still falling. He does not think
| that the people should be taxed as they are
I
| three great sources of economy in State ad-
| ministration are saving in cost of extern
i sions, complete utilization of present means
/ for increased traffic, and saving under unity
| of administration.
| Concerning the price which the govern
ment should pay for the railroads Mr. War
| ing says: There are two main points on
| which the public conscience must, be satis-
| fed, namely, that the shareholders shall be
| dealt with honestly and that the State shall
pay the real and not a fictitious value. There
| is danger that railroad property will be
confscated or that the property of one man
will be taken away and given to any other
man or class of men, but on the other hand
| it is equally important that the public con-
| venience and prosperity shall not be sacri-
| feed to a sentiment, or in deference to an
act of Parliament passed forty years ago,
| which was moribund from its birth and
| which has never influenced the investment
| of shilling. The just principle of dealing
| with the shareholders would be to give them
| the actual ascertained value of their shares,
| adding any prospective value which rests on
| a reasonable foundation, and taking also in
1 TO account tne improved security tney Will
have. An allowance for compulsory expro-
L priation on conversion by way of penalty in
| ficted on the State for purchasing is not
l likely to be entertained.
| The capital of the railroad companies of
England is about $1,000, 100000, but Mr..
| Waring says it is not a question of raising
| money, but of the conversion of railroad
| stock into government stock It will be in
| teresting to watch the progress of the discus
| sion 1t is one in which all countries are
| interested.

EESTOKIAL NOTES.
inc parade yesterday.


We call the attention of the friends and
enemies of the Grecian temple on the Green
to the suggestion of correspondent in an
other column on this page. How would the
old State House strike the people of New
Haven as a new postofice?
These are not very golden times for some
of the farmers of the West. A Nebraska
man who sent a lot of corn to Chicago has
realized just five cents bushel for it, as
twenty-five of the twenty-seven cents for
which it sold went to pay for transportion
and storage.
Laws providing that buyers and csnsum-
ers shall not be deceived by those who sell
oleomargarine and other varieti es of sham
butter have been enacted and are in force in
fourteen different States. Laws forbidding
the manufacture or sale of sham butter have
been enacted in six States, and are in force
in several of these. How these laws will
work remains to be seen, but it is probable
that they will not work very we'll.
The Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel among Landlords is in active opera
alton in London and advertising in the met
ropolitan press for the support of the
christian public" All previous efforts
having proved of no avail in inducing land
owners to restore to the public those values
which the natural necessities of the public
give to the land, and which values are COM
monty known ground rents, this society
has been formed for the purpose of appeal
ing to the landlords conscience by means of
gospel truth.
A curious case has just been decided by
the English Court of Crown Gases. One
man aimed blow at another, but, missing
him, struck and wounded a woman. He
was tried for striking the woman and found
guilty by the jury. 1t was admitted that he
did not intend to strike her, and that the
blow was purely accidental. The court sus-
| tanned the conviction. Lord Coleridge ex-
planned that the prisoner 'intended to do an
unlawful act, and in doing it he inflicted the
injury. The intent to injure particular
person is not required

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
I see there has been great deal of talk
about the old State House. I do not know
whether anyone else has made the remark or
not, but think it would make an excellent
postofice If I think right it would be like
the London postoffice in England. The
present postofice would make good stores.

latest attempt to eXterminate them will not
commend itself to the society for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals. A number of
rabbits suffering from rabbit seab are being
imported from Europe with the expectation
that the loathsome disease will spread among
the Australian rabbits and kill them off.
Professor Watson, of Adelaide university,
some time ago went to Europe and bought
two dozen diseased rabbits for this purpose,
but they died on the voyage. He has, how
ever, ordered fresh supply, which are ex
pected soon to arrive in Adelaide, when they
will be turned loose.
A novel use has been made of the stereoscope
to detect forged bank notes. A note of one
hundred francs was recently submitted to
the experts of the Bank of France as issued
by band of forgers, but the execution was
SO perfect that no defect could be discovered
by the closest examination. A suggestion
was then made to place the suspected note
side by side with genuine one in the OBJ
jective of stereosoope, the two images of
which, as is well known, overlay each other
and form single picture. The result of the
experiment was that the loop in a letter of
the forged note did not exactly cover that of
the genuine one, showing that they had not
been printed from the same plate.
The scheme devised by a Mr.. Dubois of
New York to s'cure the evils of overproduc
ton" is one of the widest of the wild ideas
that have been put forth in these wild days.
It provides for department of labor in
every city town of five Thousand or more
inhabitants, governed by commissioners
elected by the people. "The duty of these
commissioners would be to devise ways and
means in their respective towns to give en-
ployment to as many as ten per cent. of the
voting population" And, to provide this,
''there shall be an annual appropriation suf-
ficient to pay wages at the rate of 81 per day
for three hundred days in ayear" to as many
voters, up to ten per cent. of the whole num-
ber, as may desire it. Additional appropri-
ations shall be made "to pay salaries to COM
missioners and foremen, and to purchase
supplies -
