20, youngest son of James A. Roe, and
brother of Z. IL. Roe, register of wills,
died this morning at his residence,
"Presq'ile," on Wye river. He was one
of the most energetic and thrifty of the
younger farmers of Talbot county. His
illness was brief, and is supposed to
have been brought on by overwork in
experimenting the harvesting of the
corn crop during the hot September
estates in Talbot, and the corn crop
there this year is immense. Mr.. Roc
leaves o widow and one child. Mr.
Samuel G. johnson, prominent and
Influential citizen of the upper part of
Queen Anne's county Md, died suddenly
OF heart disease on Saturday while sit
Tins in his chair. His remains were in

UNcoNscI o US IN the STREET.
James A. BourISe Suffers From a Severe
Brain Trouble.

James A. Bourke, well-known in local
political circles, was found lying uncon-
sclons on the sidewalk near the corner
of Front and Claymont streets, by Ser
geant Chambers last night week.
All efforts to arouse the man from his
stupor were fruitless, and Sergeant
Chambers summoned the patrol wagon
and had him removed to his boarding
house, at Third and Monroe streets.
DR.. John G. Fahey was summoned, and
being alarmed at Bourke's condition,
ordered his removal to the Delaware
Hospital, where he remained uncon-
scious. At 8 o'clock on Thursday
morning some one at the hospital called
up Dr. Fahey, and informed him that
the case of Mr.. Bourke was not one for
treatment at the hospital, and Bourke
was sent to his home in a semi-conscious
condition.
DIR. Fahey stated on Thursday that
the patient was suffering from brain
trouble and he had been treating him
for ailments during the past year. When
discovered on the street by Sergeant
Chambers large roll of money was
found on Bourke's person and his con-
dition clearly indicated that he was suf-
fering from some brain trouble. Think
ing the patient could receive better
treatment at the hospital than at his
boarding house, DR.. Fahey ordered the
patient taken there, and is indignant at
the reception the hospital gave him.

Tho cars to be run on the Lenape
branch of West Chester's electric rail
way, which connects West Chester with
the Wilmington 6 Northern railroad,
are thus described by the West Chester
Local Noaes: Two or three more new
cars are about to he ordered for the
Lenape trip or for exclusive use on the
Lenape branch. There will also be
orders given for baggage cars, which
will be attached to every car going to
Lenape TO make trains. The new cars
will seat about 40 passengers comforta-
bly,, and will be made in good style,
like regular railroad cars. Plans and
specifications for the new cars are now
making. They will be more spacious,
upholstered in good style and have an
aisle running through, with seats on
either side. A higher power will be
used IN running them than is the case
in the system by which the cars here are
operated.

WAYT A NEW FIRE COMPAYY.
Residents Over Eleventh Street Bridge
Don't Want to Burn Up.

There Is q movement on foot among
the residents living over Eleventh street
bridge in the Ninth ward to establish a
new fire company and already meeting
has been held and acommittee appointed
to carry out plans to perfect such an or
ganization. The residents of that Sec
ton of the city have taken the matter
up and are unanimously of the opinion
that the company will be formed before
the first Of the year.
The new fire company will be known
as the Water Witch, and the charter of
the old company Of that name, aban-
doned years ago, will be absorbed. The
prime movers in the project to found a
new company are George Griffith, Shilly
Ambo and w. II. Penney, all enterpris-
ing citizens of the ward, and these men
have the assurance that the company
will be organized at an early day. They
will endeaYor to have the Pullman
Palace Car Company, the Wilmington
Jute Mills, and other industries in the
neighborhood contribute toward the
company, and a subscription list with
the right men at the helm will be started
in a short time they say. A meeting will
&c held at Bradley's Hall next Tuesday
evening, when definite plans will be de-
cided upon lv the citizens of the ward.
The residents claim that the nearest
fire company is the Reliance, at Fourth
and Lombard streets, and that is too far
away they say, in case of distrous fire.

TIE DING rR IN MILK.
What the Philadelphia Board of Health
is Doing in this Important Matter.


In reference to the statements of Mon
day. in connection with the remarks,
as reported by the Philadelphia Press,
and attributed to Veterinary Surgeon
Ewes of this city at the meeting of the
Keystone Veterinary Association on
Saturday, Dr. Ewes says that his words
we're somewhat exaggerated in the re-
port referred TO. Yet he states there is
n great deal of tuberculosis in this
region.
What has been done hitherto is the
result Of the efforts of the Philadelphia
authorities to root out the disease. Gov
ernmcnt inspectors have been appointed
Their duty is to kill all cattle supposed
to have tuberculosis. The owners don't
like to give up their cows, as they con-
slider government does not allow them
sufficient for them.
"The appraisement," added DIR. Ewes,
lin the case of pleuropneumonia is two
thirds of the value. do not know what
it is in tuberculosis. / think the latter
disease is inimical to the human family.
Still, science has not made any clear,
definite statement and the question of
its being transmissible is yet an open one.
Professor Formal, the well-known
expert, who is demonstrator of pathology
in the University Of Pennsylvania,
holds that it is not. His position Is that
the tendency to contract the disease is
hereditary in cattle and in human beings.
That is to say the anatomical structure
in both species shows similar suscepti-
bility to the disease.
"Some of the dairy cattle in this
region are affected with tuberculosis
The use of milk supplied from such
cattle is supposed to cause the disease
among human beings. This is claimed
by the majority of scientific men. DIR.
Aulll, professor of surgery in the Uni
vcrsity of Pennsylvania, openly de-
clares his opinion that all tuberculosis
in the human family can be traced to
cows. Others who stated similar
opinion at the meeting were DIR. Gadsden,
DR.. William Ii. Werntz, DIR. w. i. B.
Miller. They cited instances and have
no doubt of the transmissibility of
tuberculosis in milk.
I'm common Technology tuberculosis
is exchangeable for the general phases
OF pulmonary consumption"
DIR. Benjamin Lee, secretary of the
Board of Health of Philadelphia, stated
that the board has employed one of the
most expert scientists of tho country to
investigate the milk sold in Philadel-
phia. He added that the expert had
been at work for couple of weeks,
and the discoveries he had made were
of startling importance. While the
doctor said that he was rot at liberty to
make known at present the result Of the
scientists labors, he assured the meeting
that enough could be revealed to empha-
size the Importance of pursuing to the
end the crusade inaugurated by the
keystone Veterinarian Association.

A Chester Man Heart Broken Over the
Death of His Wife Seeks Death in Sui

Death of His wife Seeks Death in Sui
cido.
Anthony Lane, aged 40years of Ches-
ter, Pa, attempted suicide at the home
of his sister, No. 304 East Eighth street,
Thursday night by swallowing dose of
Paris green sufficient to kill five persons.
1t was the excessive quantity of the
dose that probably saved Lanes life for
the time being, although the poisoning
may ultimately end in death.
Lane came to this city Thursday
morning to visit his sister, Mrs. Dough-
erty, who lives at No. BOA East Eighth
street. He had been drinking heavily
of late and had become very despond-
ent. About year ago his wife died
and left Lane with two small children
in their Chester home. Constant brood
ing over his wife's death temporarily
impaired the husbands reason and in
order to drown his sorrow, Lane took
to excessive drinking. He was en-
ployed as workman In Cramps ship
yard, and about five weeks ago several
hundred workmen were laid off at the
yard for want of work, among whom
was Lane. This only increased the
me 3 dependency, and he took to
drinking more heavily than before.
He came to this city Thursday morn
ing from protracted spree and went to
his sisters residence. In the afternoon
Lane disappeared but at 6. o'clock re-
turned TO the house in deplorable con-
dition and startled the members of the
household with the announcement that
he had taken dose of Paris green. He
had been vomiting the poisonous drug,
ana THIS was apparent from the fact that
the poison was detected all over his
clothes from vomiting. Lane said he
mad taken the drug on the streets, mix
ing II ounces of poison in bottle of
soda water and then swallowing it. Dr.
Downs was at once summoned and adj
ministered strong emetic to the patient
to cause vomiting. The mucuous lining
of the stomach had been so badly in
famed by excessive use Of stimulates as
to aid in repelling the poisonous drug,
and materially aided him in vomiting.
Lane had written letter to his aged
mother preparatory to attempting sui
eide in which he cvinced much affection
for the good woman and prayed that
she might look after the little ones he
was going to leave behind. He stated
that his heart was broken over losing
his wife and the mother of his children
and that he had nothing more to live for
this side of the grave. Her death had
caused him to take to drinking which
was gradually bringing about his ruin.
Lane died on Monday morning, at the
residence of his sister, from the effects
of the poison.

NOME F0E .fGED WOMEN.
Annual Report of the Secretary Favor
able Report of Last Years Work.

The following is the report of the sec
rotary of the Home for Aged Women
for the year ended October LIST, 1891:
Another year, quietly busy. has drawn
to close, and we are enabled again to greet
our friends and contributors with favor
able report of the work done. Our new
building which was completed last year
has been very satisfactory, and much labor
and discomfort have been alleviated by the
conyeniences added for the care Of the sick
and feeble ones.
Four inmates have been received during
the year and five have boen removed by
death. Present number, 90 total, so.
We have had more than the usual
amount of sickness in the family the past
year. but when we consider the infirmites
attending the aged we do not expect to be
exempt. and desire to acknowledge with
gratitude tho continued ministrations of
our ever-willing friend, DIR. Kittinger our
matron and nurse, both very efficient and
especially adapted to their work. The in
mates are apparently happy in their pres
ence and care, and the household arrange
ments prove entirely satisfactory and graft
flying.
February 18th was observed as our an
nual donation day, when numerous friends
made us glad with their presence, many of
whom had never been within our walls, and
one Of the most pleasant features of the
day was to hear from these friends many
expressions of delight, surprise and COM
mendation. Two hundred and thirty-two
dollars were received, also large quantities
of groceries, provisions, dry goods. &c.
We have lost faithful friend by the
death of Charles Warner, who had been an
annual subscriber TO the home since its or
ganization.
We are still kindly remembered on
THANKSGIVING and Christmas DAYS by our
friends; also, had very enjoyable excur-
sion to Birmingham Park through the
kindness of Mr.. McCauseland, all of which
arouse emotions OF pleasure and make
bright spots in the lives of our elderly
friends.
Little further need be added, as very few
are now unacquainted with the operations
Of our home. The managers, therefore,
cheerfully renew their labors, trusting that
the blessing of the Divine Master and tho
cooperation of our friends, which have
marked the past, will never fail

WILLl an MURpnr,s FATAL CLIMB


While Gathering Chestuuts He Falls
From a Lofty Tree with Fatal Results.
II was u fatal climb which 1Ayears-old
William Murphy made in an old lofty
chestnut tree i'll Riddles woods Sunday
afternoon. While many of Murphy's
companions were at Sunday-school the
unfortunate lad, with several others, went
covered an old crazy tree in Riddles
woods. which hung full to OVERLOOKING
with the much-sought-for nuts. Murphy,
after few moments reflection, began to
climb, and with the nimbcness of cat
sprung from limb to limb until away up
near the summit he halted and began to
shower the nuts down upon the ground
like hail at every vibration of the limb.
But the lad had not chosen safe limb
upon which to rest his footing, and in Il
moment, when the nuts were flying from
every burr and rafting down over the
branches of the tree, the limb upon which
he was standing was heard to make loud
crash and the next moment Afurphy's
body was whirling toward the earth with
great velocity. His body struck the ground
with awful force, and in an instant,
almost, young Murphy's life was swiftly
ebbing away. His neck and thigh were
broken by the fall, and the body was badly
bruised from coming in contact with the
limbs in the descent.
Tho, deceased was taken to his home at
Lincoln street and Wawaset avenue, where
his parents were grief stricken at the sight
of their dead boy. Dr. John Palmer was
summoned, but life was already extinct
when the physician arrived. The father
OF the deceased is quarryman, employed
by the Brandywine Granite COMPANY.
Coroner Sparks issued a certificate of
death from cause as stated above.
