The SIOuOn Too.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 27.-Thcrc is good
authority for stating that the syndicate
which controls the East Tennessee, Nir-
GINA & Georgia, and which, after Nov |,
will control the Queen & Crescent road,
have made n direct offer for the controll-
ing stock of the Louisville, New Albany
l. Chicago road, the former agreeing to
pay IS cents on the dollar for shares suf-
ticient to control the property, and the
Monon people have the matter under con-
sdcration. Securing this road would
give the East Tennessee, Virginia 4 Geor-
gin direct line to Chicago and place it
in much stronger position than any line
which could be formed to compete for bu-
sness between Chicago and the Southern
seaboard The Louisville, New Albany &
Chicago owns from New Albany to Michl-
gan City, $50 miles f; INDIANA State line

ed, 537 miles. A lease for 500 years with

fact that the syndicate which wishes to
secure control of the Monon has an option
on the Kentucky & Indiana bridge over
the Ohio river at New Albany gives great
strength to the above statement.

rom H." hHVANuIt Jou'h
The painful intelligence reached the city
Yesterday of the death of two young people
ncar Concord from morphine poisoning.
4 horrible mistake had been made and
morphine had been given for quininc.
Hon. Frank n. Smith, state superin-
tcndent of education, his brother, W. $.
Smith. and Mr. W. d. Hudgins, live near
ncighbors. Some days since MIR. Hudgns
had occasion to borrow some quininc from
the family of Mr.. W. S. Smith. Recently
he went to Concord, purchased some of
the powder as he supposed, and returned
what he borrowed from his neighbor.
1t seems that the children in the three
families have been suffering from cold and
malaria for the last few days. The parents
deemed it wise TO give them quininc, and
Sunday dose Of the powder in the bottle
returned by MIR. Hudgins was admins
tered
The drug was given to three children in
the family of Mr.. Hudgins, also to the lit
tie son OF Mr. Frank N. Smith and to one
child in the family of Mr.. ". S. Smith.
In very short time after the drug was
given all those who had taken it became
deathly sick and then unconscious.
A physician was secured post haste.
On his arrival he pronounced all the chill
dren to he suffering from morphine pois-
oning. Every effort was made to relieve
the sufferers, but in two cases without
avail, MS little John Paulet Smith, son of
the uperntendent, died that night, as well
as daughter of Mr.. Hudgins. Reports
stated that the others were out of danger
yesterday. The dose taken by them was
so large that it was thrown off the stomach
as it caused nausea.
The above was gathered from parties in
the city Yesterday. The details may not
be exact, but the main facts ere.
