PUPILS POISONED.


Death by the Administration of Nor
phine by Alleged Mistake.
AUGUSTA, GA, July PA sensation
here to-day was the poisoning of twenty
pupils of liaiues' Normal Institute by a
dose Of morphine, taken through mistake.
The school is run by colored citizens, and
the inmates were boardcrs. The principal,
Lucy G. Lancy, has been in the habit of
administering quinine every morning to
the pupils as preventive of illness. Yes
tcriay she purchased quantity of the
drug from a pharmacist. She was served
by Il young clerk named Wells, who had
been in the shop of Dr.. King about three
months. Shortly after the pupils took
the medicine they became deathly i'll.
Physicians We're called in, and pronounced
the cases morphine poisoning. Stomach
pumps were called into requiSton, and
the probability is that the victims will live.
The drug clerk is positive he served quiz
nine, but he has been dismissed from his
position. Fourteen of the victims are at
the point of death, Some hold to the the
ory that the quinine was exchanged for
morphine with foul intent. An analysis
ha, not yet been made of the contents of
the stomachs. Indignation is loudly OK
pressed against the criminal carelessness
which makes the accident possible. The
state laws are very severe, and prosecu-
tlon is threatened.

TALKING FOR A PURPOSE.
How Real Estate Broker Parted
with Twenty Dollars.

Daniel S., alias Albert V. Ward, a mid
dle-aged white man, was arraigned in the
criminal court yesterday on a charge of
false pretenses, and pleaded not guilty
From the facts developed at the prelimi-
nary examination before Judge Smell it
appears that Ward, who is fluent talker
came 10 this city last fall and took rooms
at one of the leading hotels. He dressed
well and seemed to have plenty of means.
He claimed to be u member of wealthy
family named Ward living in Kentucky
gave out that he was worth several hun
dred thousand dollars, and had come to
the city to purchase residence and make
this his home.
He soon gained footing in society and
numbered several senators and representa-
tives as his friends. Among other ac-
quaintances he made was that of promi-
nent real estate man, and as he had eX-
pressed desire to invest in real estate
their friendship grew accordingly, and the
real estate man introduced him to num-
Der of other friends and business men.
Among others presented was VIM. Smith,
loan broker, In the early part of Febru-
AIRY Ward talked to Smith in regard to
purchasing some property from him and
promised to call around the next day and
consummate the purchase. AS he was
about to leave Ward said: by the way,
smith, | am going to visit fair, and, you
know, il costs man 10 cents TO get in and
$40 TO get out of one of those places. Am
a little short just now. Can you let me
have $50?n Smith declined, saying he did
not have that much. well, let me have

worth it," And Smith let him have it.

Another Virginia Tragedy.

We suppose the people of Culpeper,
Va, are now saying that the deplorable
tragedy of Thursday, by which young
Williams was killed outright and young
Barbour badly wounded, could easily have
been prevented. And SO it could. 1t was
nothing less than criminal folly on the
part of the friends Of these two youths
10 allow 30 fatal a termination of their
quarrel. But we suppose the Virginia
idea of honor had to prevail and that
hose who stood by and saw the tragedy
worked out felt that there was nothing for
them TO do but to wait and see what
would happen. What criminal folly TO
allow these two bright young men, hot
headed and foolish, TO shoot each other to
pieces like desperadoes in western min
ing town What excuse can there
be for such a tragedy in the peace
ful and almost classic precincts
of Virginia Whatever may be the sense
of personal honor inculcated into the
youths of Virginia they must learn that
the duello and all its bloody coordinate
methods of relief are but relics of bar
barrie period, and that the revolver and
the dagger have no place in the highest
civilization. While the personal courage
of young Williams may be admired, and
while it may be source of consolation TO
his friends and admirers, yet what a paltry
compensation for the snuffing out of his
life at the threshold of a most promising
career. And as to young Barbour, cour-
ageous as he, too may have proved him
self, yet at what terrible cost to himself
and his family. Personal courage that
