Collector Momt,s Mistake.

Isaac w. Mofit. Collector of Inter
nal Revenue of the First District Of
New Jersey, who lives in Glassboro,
had a narrow escape from death yes
terday morning. While on the train
going to Camden he took a bottle
from his pocket which he supposed
contained cough medicine and swal-
lowed a large quantity. He was
seized with drowsiness, and an exam
ination of the bottle by his chief
clerk showed that he had taken laud-
anum by mistake. Those on the car
resorted to harsh measures to keep
Mr.. Motif from falling asleep. When
Camden was reached he was taken to
a drug store where an emetic was adj
ministered, and he was placed in a
private room. Late in the day he
recovered sufficiently to be taken
home.
