KILLED BOTH HIS FRIENDS.
The Fatal Error of Drug Clerk in
Connecticut.

SOuDcCtICut.
The fatal poisoning of Homer c. Bishop
and Charles Appeby at Branford through
the error of Robert j. Latta, clerk in Ro' in
son & Foote'S drug store, creates profound
sensation. The two young men were each
about twer' Arec years old and belonged
to the best families. Bishop was bookkeeper
in the Branford Lock Works and Appleby
was proprie or of stage line between this
city and Branford. Latta was an intimate
friend of both.
The two unfortunate young men were out
driving and had called at the drug store for
drink of brandy aud sofia, which Latta
supplied them. They then started for Indian
Neck, but were taken suddenly ill and drove
back in hot haste to the drug store. APP
pleby asked Latta, bob, what is that you
gave us to drinK?n
"Soda and brandy" replied Lotta.
"Well, it's very strange" said Appleny,
'iHomcr and 1 have been getting very sick
since We drank it. Are you sure you didn't
run over to Z:nk:s Office and find him."
was Lattas answer.
They went and stated tue case to DR..
link, who at once administered emetlcs.
The young men walked around the Office ten
minutes, but were finally exhausted and had
TO lie down. The emetics had no effect.
An instant later Lattu came in, pale and
breathlcss and exclaimed, MY God, Doctor 1,
have given them aconite by mistake!"
Already the young men were dying. APP
p eby managed to gasp out, bob, il l ever
get out of this nobody will know about this
mistake"
a few minutes later lie cried out, "Who
put out that light!' These were his last
words. Almost ut the same time Bishop
said, "We can't sec anything in THIS room,
it's so dark" And these were his last words.
They both breathcd their last a minute or
Two later, and there was not thirty seconds
difference in their deaths
Latta was horror Stricken when he found
that lie had put an ounce of the tine
turo OF aconite i'll the glasses of soda thinking
it was brandy which had been left in the
graduating glass by mistake. tie Was placed
under arrest and was bound ov.r to the
Supe. ior Court in 81 600 for manslaushter.
He pleaded not guilty. 1t was feared that he
would commit suicide. lie is now nearly IN
sane over his awful mistake. He has been q
drug clerk for nearly ten years and was
well known. Both the young men, ApplebY
and Bishop, were members Of the Widows
Son Lodge F. and A. NJ and were very
popular l.

A primitiYc Berlin Cafe.

visited an eating house in Berlin
which for primitiveness, says Blakcly
Hall in the New York SIN, is rather
ahead of anything else I have seen in the
world. The dining table consisted OF
log in which eighteen cavities appeared
at regular intervals. Each cavity was
of about the size of large soup bowl,
and fastened near every one was big
iron spoon attached to the log by an
iron chain. The method OF dining was
neither complicated nor prolonged. A
table d'hote dinner consisting Of one
course, which, by the way, was the only
dinner served in the house, cost five
pfennigs-about one cent aud a quarter
of our coin. The diner enters and planks
down his money before taking his seat.
Then he chooses one of the broad cayl-
ties, seizes the iron spoon, and waits Tor
the waiter. That functionary is usually
sort of Poo Bah, combining in himself
the duties of cashier, proprietor, head
waiter, and bouncer-in-chief. After the
guest is seated the waiter walks up to
him bearing TWO steaming cans and asks
shortly. '.Thicll or clear soup" The
diner usually, after smiling the fumes OF
the cans and giving the matter wcighty
consideration, makes his decision, and
then the factotum fills up the nearest
cavity with soup, turns on his heel, and
washes his hands of all further consider
alton I did not gain the impression
from casual inspection that the waiter
had ever washed his hands in any other
than q fgurative sense. The diner
scoops the soup out of the hole in the
log with his iron spoon, and, having
thus dined wisely and we'll, is promptly
ordered out by the bouncer-in-chicf.
There is no lingering over an a.ter-din-
ner cigar, nuts, raisins, fruit, or coffee.
The expedition of the meal is its most
striking characteristic, except, perhaps,
its SIMPLICITY.

RIOT In CLEVELAND.
The Emblem of Anarchy Disturbs a
Labor Demonstration.

The red flag of anarchy was hostcd in
Cleveland and the result was riot, in which
several heads were broken and some blood
was shed. The occasion was the celebration
of Labor Day by the trades unions of Ii 9
city. There was parade with some twelve
hundred men in line. Much indignation
WIS caused by the appearance of large red
flag, borEo by an anarchist society OF the
west side. It was the most conspicuous BAN
ner in the procession md several attempts
were made by the crowd to capture and de-
stroy it, but the police interfered.
The parade came to an end at garden IN
the east end Of the city, where picnic was
held. The red flag was hoisted over one of
tl:c rustic nrbors, und when the oth.r socle-
ties participating, particularly the English,
speaking laborcrs, discovered the emblem or
anarchy they forcbly objected. Arguments
present could interfere fierce fight had
started Fists and clubs were freely used
and blood flcwed from broken heads and
bruised faces. n call was sent i'll for
patrol-wagon, but before il arrived the three
officers in tue garden had managed TO arrest
the ringcader in the disturbance. He was
dragged out OF the garden and st;lI ted down
Woodlnwn avenue 10 meet the patrol wagon.
H companions followed after the police
u.d made dett mined efforts to rescue their
companion. The three officers first used
their ubs with good effect, aid when the
situation became more serious revolverS
were drawn. At this juncture the. patrol
wagon came up. a dozen officers Jumped
mt of it and dashed into the mob, which by
t;st me had swollen to considerable proper

-Four more arrests wero made and the
prisoners taken to the first precinct, where
they were charged with melting to riot.
The names of the prisoners are Pen hill a

A PERFECT REST.


Behold the boy-throughout the livelons
day,
He follows on where Ger his fancy leads.
Till, tired of every sport it can suggest,
His mothers fond embrace supplies his
needs.
Upon her breast,
By her caressed,
He is at home,
And homo is perfect rest.
The world is but ruthless battlefield;
The boy to manhood grown, must fight his
way;
Wounded, in tears, h, seeks his loving
wife,
His wounds are healed, his tears are wiped
away.
Upon her breast,
By her cartssed,
He is at home,
And home is perfect rest.
Oblivion comes-they err who call it death
IT'S passing slumbcr, fraught with untold
charms;
On angel wings the sleeper's borne aloft,
The shadows pass, he wakes in Jesus
arms
Upon his breast
BY him Niressei,
He is at home,
And home is perfect rest.
