This berry produces proliticly and

MIR. Chambers from only 4 small plot

man Fisher, prominent physician liv-

condition, which was brought about
by Ernest Bertram, so goes the
story, who resides at 1900 South Broad
way. DR.. Fisher has been the ia nily
physician of the Bertrams for some
time. Not long since he met Mrs.
Bertram at the house of mutual
friend, and while there made to
her what she considered an indecent
proposal. She told her husband when
he returned home. After waiting some
time for the doctor. MI. Ber-
tram, so it is stated, went to
Fishers house. a large and fero-
cious Newfoundland dog accompanying
him. After he had gained admittance
he ordered the brute to stake him." The
command was obeyed. and, springing at
the doctor, the dog lacerated his throat
in a frightful manner. The doctor
suffered still further from a thrashing
administered by Bertram, in which he
was aided by pair of brass knuckles.
Bertram then left the house. The doc
tors condition is serious.

KEMMLER WEAKENS.
The Condemned Murderer Is Al
most a Maniac.


AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. Recent de-
velopments have more than confirmed
the truth Of the statement that KEN
mler, the condemned murderer, is
weakening daily. The utter abandon
ment of all hope and the consequent
realization of his utterly lost condition
never came to him with such terrible
force as last night. Ali night long the
vision of his impending fate rose before
his sleepless eyes. and as he tossed and
tumbled Oh his narrow cot, he cried
aloud in his despair: 81 wish it were
over" He m0aned time and again, and
his utter lack of all power to control
his fears was pitiable to behold. The
cause of this sudden and uncomfortable
despair was the noise of preparation in
the adjacent room of execution, and
which the prisoner could not help hear
| ing through the doorway which con-
meets his cell with the chamber of
DEATH In the latter room men were
making a test of the death-dealing APP
paratus before launching the fateful
current through the body of Kemmler.
| In the next room were Warden DurstOn
| and Electrician Barnes, of Rochester,
| and a few others who had been invited
| to witness the. test. G. +. Barnes, who
has been employed to take charge OF
the electrical apparatus. and who Will
probably pull the fatal switch, arrived
on the 3:05 Central train yesterday and
returned to Rochester in the evening.
His stay in town was made as secret as
possible, and there was an evident fear
at the prison that his visit would be
found out by the reporters. During
the brief time in the city he aid a great
deal of work. The belt on the engine
in the north wing was taken off from
the pulley connecting with the machin-
cry and connected with the Westing-
house dynamo. Shortly after 5 O'Clock
the steam was turned on and thor,
and pulley. Then the room of execu-
ton was visited. and here thorough
trial was made of the apparatus which
controls the fearful current. Every.
thing was found to be in working
order.

The Innocent-Looking Silver Bon
bonniere Often Contains Poison
Nowadays.
New York Sun.
The pretty, innocent little silver
trinkets ladies carry so invariably and
universally to the theater or concert,
and even to church, are filled with
something besides the perfumed French
bonbons and sweets they are designed
for. Tiny Misunderstanding gray 1oz-
enges are hidden away among the
candies i'll the bonbonniere, which con-
tain the tiniest bit of strychnine, about
e-thirtietb of a grain. They aren't
pleasant to the taste, but just what the
gin cocktail or sip of absinthe is to a
man the strychnine lozenge is to a
woman. 1t is tonic, a sedatlve, a
bracer, an exhilarator all i'll one.
Three day is the allowance, but if
my lady is very tired, il the sermon is
unusually dull, if the escort to the play
proves to be a bore, if she wants her
eyes to shine for some one whose
admiration is dear to her, the gleam-
ing bonbonniere is opened more than
the regulation number of times. So
accustomed do the sweet creatures
become to the nauseating bitterness of
the drug that they swallow it as smil-
ingly as baby does a sugar plum.

The Indignation of the board of trade

as far as possible they gave their bust

The other roads are apparently in the
