The dire effects of alcoholic stimulants
on the human system, was once more most
terribly illustrated Saturday evening, in
the sudden death of Charles Sutliffe, who
had for years been citizen of Johnston.
He was painter by trade, and although
for sometime he has done nothing but
few scattering jobs, he was considered
first-class workman, and had, previous to
his giving himself wholly to the habit of
drinking, been doing most prosperous
business.
About o'clock he was seen emerging
from Braney's saloon on Plainteld
street. He walked around the rear OF w.
ID. Harris store, and he fell unconscious
to the ground, overcome by fit superin-
duced by drink. Owen Keough, who hap
pened to be near by, ran TO the rescue and
removed the insensible man TO barn
near by, when Sergeant Holbrook was
notified. When he arrived he found
Sutlffe still alive. but returning short
time after the man was corpse.
District Medical Examiner OKeefe was
sent for, but could not be found, and DIR.
Palmer, medical examiner OF Providence,
was summoned. After examining the
body he concluded that the man had died
from natural causes, attributable TO un-
due indulgence in alcoholic stimulants.
The remains were removed To Schofield's
undertaking establishment and prepared
for burial. They were afterwards taken
TO the home of the deceased on Waterway
street He leaves two children, aged u
and years Besides the house he lived
in he was the owner of two others, which,
il is said, were considerably mortgaged.
From the condition of the body after
death il is evident that he had not eaten
anything for some time, 1t being fright
fully emaciated.
SATURDAY. night about o'clock Thomas
Danahy, living at 245 Harris avenue, had
a deep cash cut in his forehead by falling
from a car near Messer street. He was
picked up in a dazed condition and
brought into the house of Drs. j. L. and
III. III. Farrell, at the corner OF Messer
and High streets, where the blood was
staunched. when he was taken to the
office and the wound sewed up. He told
story which, IL true, will incrimminate
the driver of the car who, he maintains,
unwarrantedly pushed him off the front
platform.
When asked what provoked the driver
TO do the deed, he could not tell. He was
unable TO remember whether he had any
words with him or not, the only thing he
did recollect was that he thrown OIL the
car while il was in motion. The driver he
did not know but seemed to think that
the number of the car was thirty-three.
He is a laborer in the employ OF John +.
Good, and had boarded the car at Dor
rance street.
A Raid at Thornton.
Yesterday morning Sergeant Holbrook,
in company with three officers, raided the

and other nationalities to assemble. When
