A Big Dose of ChIoraI.

lLewlston Journal
Capt. A. Annard is one-legged soldier, a
canvasser, temporary resident in Lewiston,
something of a politician, good fellow, and
today man of thankful heart
Capt Annard came in at the Lewiston Ex-
change, Thursday, at the close of the day, in
a highly tense state of nervous excitement
His equilibrium was disturbed at the centre
OF gravity. He was restless, weary, fidgety.
a prey to sleeplessness. He stood It for
some time, and finally sent over to a Lisbon
street drug store for bottle of chloral. He
got 1t and took all of it. The bottle held 240
grains; 240 grains is ten good doses. Fifteen
grains is dose; 20 grains is a big dose.
Capt. Annard didn't know the difference,
though. He had used it only once before,
and then he took what the physician gave
him, and took it all. This time he likewise
took it all, and the result was a speedy en-
suement of dangerous symptoms, in which
the old soldier gave the alarm and help was
summoned.
Drs. Howe and Harvey worked on him all
night-injecting brandy and digitalis and
endeavoring in every way to arouse the De-
sired response of his vital functions. The
great danger from an overdose of choral is
failure of the heart. He was out of danger
Friday morning. Capt. Annard came here
from Portland.
No blame is attached to the druggist. DIR.
W. 5. Howe and DIR. Harvey, who attended
the man, examined the bottle and found that
the chloral was put up properly, marked
properly, and with proper directions for its
taxing. 1t was put up at Aliens, ON Lisbon
street, and was in every way in accordance
with the best usages by apothecaries.
Inc dose was taken while Capt. Annard
was sitting in the Office at the Exchange. He
was seen to take the entire dose, and soon
after to fall over in his chair. He was lug
ged up stairs and help was at once sum-

BANGOR, Sept. 30.-Stain and Cromwell,
the convicted murderers, remain in jail
awaiting the decision of the court, which
will determine whether they are to remain
within prison walls the remainder of their
lives or be given another trial. Stain is very
hopeful that the result will be favorable to
himself, while Cromwell is rather discour-
aged. Stain finds various light employments
to kill time" He is quite an expert en-
graver of glass, and recently. procuring a
tumbler, he asked for two files, square-cor-
nered and round, saying, "you needn't be
afraid that l want to escape" Turnkey
Hathaway gave them to him, and he pro-
ceeded to engrave the glass, which, when
completed, he presented to Lewis A. Barker,
Esq, his counsel, and Mrs. Barker. The de-
sign was exceedingly neat, consisting of a
cluster of grapes and accompanying leaves,
peneath two hearts Joined, and still further
down upon the side of the tumbler the
names OF the recipients and the date of the
presentation. He also presented several of
the ladies in the families of the Jail officials
with similar mementoes.
But this is not all. Stain has been some
tnlng OF an astronomer in his day, and has
made quite study of the science, so that he
mas made calculations and drawn charts of

tanning some of his astronomical computa-

culiar work. Recently Mr. Barker was vis-
iting Stain in his cell, and noticing that he
had in his possession list of the drawings
OF the Louisiana lottery, asked him what he
had that for, and learned that the prisoner
had been an investor in lottery tickets for
upwards of ten years, and now patronized
the Louisiana concern monthly, never put

months he has drawn small sums.

THE FIETIETH CONGRESS.
Its Staying Powers Surpass Those o
Any Predecessor.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3O-When the two
Houses of Congress are called to order at 12
O'Clock tomorrow, the session will have be-
come the longest by "a hours in American
history. The longest preceding session was
in 1850, the year of the Missouri compromise,
which was adjourned at noon, Sept. 30 Con-
structively, the session of 1868, following the
impeachment proceedings against President
johnson, was longer, adjournment sine die
having taken place Nov. 10th, but as a mat
ter of fact Congress took six weeks recess
from July 9th, and never afterwards had a
quorum or attempted to transact any busi-
ness.
The House of Representatives has not had
quorum for several weeks, but such busi-
ness as could be done by Unanimous con-
sent has been done, and as one of the reg
ular appropriation bills, the general de-
ticiency, is still before conferees of the two
Houses, it cannot yet be said that the year. S
regular work for either House is finished.
The tariff bill will be reported to the Senate
debate next Monday TSe @ daiy iea Sessions 1 iOf OF
the House of Representatives will probably
be short, and little business of interest is
likely to be transacted by that body during
the present week.
