The circumstances of the distressin e
death of Edwin w. Greaver young divIn
ity student of Cheste Pa. on Friday of last
week have been attracting attention. He
was taken with acute neuralgia, with
which he was suffering intensely. An
intimate friend of his, young medical
student, was guest at his house, and,
anxious to relieve Mr.. Greaver of his trouble
directed him TO take alkaloid of aconiGe
He gave hlm four doses in all, which APP
peared to have the desired effect. The
patient declared that the neuralgia had
left him. An hour after the last dose had
been administered, hove yer, Mr.. Greaver
grew blue in the face. His condition
became so alarming that the student has
tened for assistance. DIR. \. Il. Ulrich was
the nearest physician, but he was unable
to relieve Mr.. Greaver, who died soon after
his arrival The student was nearly
crazed with grief The shock to Mr.
: Greaver's three month bride was very
severe. Deputy Coroner ID. w. Jefferi'
was at once notified, but in view of the
facts, decided not to hold the young man
; responsible for his friends death. The i'm
, mediate cause of the de 9Th, in his opinion
was the fact that the aconite, which, il
mex erienced hands, is a dangerous drug
to handle, had not dissolved before thu
next dose was taken, 4 but had lain dorman
and the com bined doses were sufficient t.
$ produce paralysis of the heart. The funera
5 services were conducted by DR.. II. G
g Weston, of Grocer Theological Seminary
: and were inexpressibly sad. The body wa
shipped to Baltimore, Md, of which de
ceased was native. Mr.. Greaver was
: promising student at Grocer Theological
Seminary, at which he had been admitte
/ from John Hopkins University, Baltimore
