HE DRANK LAUOANUM.
The Deadly Drug Almost Costs james
Matthews His Life.

James Matthews. young machlnlst
about twenty-nine yea-s OF age VINO WORKS
at Asa Snyders foundry. drank the con-
tents of one-ounce wal Of laudanum yes;
terday afternoon about o'clock and had
q narrow escape from death.
He was discovered sitting on the steps or
the old Snyder building. formerly used as
the Temporary post-ofiice, and from his
peculiar way Of talking and drOwsy ap-
pearance il was at first supposed that ne
was under the influence of liquor. Subse-
ouentlv II was discovered that he had taken
laudanum, and he was carried into the
cellar of +. b. Taylor d Co.'S, and three
physicians were 'phoned for, but az none
of these could be obtained the ambulance
was summoned.
Matthews objected TO this and denied
taking the laudanum, but as his condition
was becoming more alarming IL was
thought best to take measures for his re-
lief. In a short while he sank into SEMI
comatose state. and every effort was made
10 arouse him. Emetics were given and
the stomach-pump applied, but these
remedies seemed apparently without avail.
He was finally carried of to his home by
the ambulance. and before reaching 1t the
physician in charge succeeded IN arousing
him somewhat. At late hour last night
ne was reported to be out OF danger.
Matthews is said to have been drinking
at the time he took the laudanum, although
he denied this 10 the physician.
He resides at No. 500 Church street, ana
is a married man and has one child.

ger-railway to a syndicate of Richmond
capitalists. -,
Sir. James b. Pace, the only one of the
persons mentioned as desiring to get hold

matter until he saw il published.
A gentleman largely interested in the
Richmond street-car properties said to a
DisDdtch reporter that he had no informa-
ton that deal was even thought of. The
Union Passenger line now belongs TO the
Richmond Railway and Electric Com
pany. which controls all the street-car and
electric-light properties in the city. The
bonds of this company are soon to be
placed on the market and in order that in
vestors may be furnished all the informa-
ton they desire the company on Thursday
had two real-estate agents 10 inspect the
properties and place a value upon them.
Ii was this fact. no doubt, that caused the
report that sale was TO be made.
