A Private ooheoa Pupil Dies ss Poison Il
Her Room.
New YORK. Feb. e.-Miss Helen Potts,
daughter OF Geo. II. Potts, . wealthy
railroad and mine owner, who lives at
Ashbury Park, died suddenly this morn
ing In private boarding school from
morphine poisoning. She had beon
troubled With nervousness and insomnia
some time, and last night took capsule
supposed to contain twenty-five grains
of Quinine aud one grain Of morphine,
which had been prescribed BY Carlyle
w. Harris, medical student,
friend OF herself snd family. soon
after retiring her roommate was
awakened BY heavy breathing. and Miss
Potts was found almost unconscious.
Medical aid was summoned, and she rail-
lied by o'clock and was thought to be
out Of all danger. but when aid was
again summoned . couple OF hours later.
at . recurrence Of the attacks, all ef-
forts wore found unavailing, and she
died At IL o'clock this morning. There
are several theories as to the death. An
inexperienced prescription clerk may
have substituted morphine for Quinine;
whole grain Of morphine might have
got into ono capsule or tho girl may
have hsd tho prescription renewed and
died OF the cumulative action Of large
number OF capsules. A thorough In.
vestigatlon will be made. The family IA
connected with the most prominent
families Of Pennsylvsnia and New Jer-
a0Y ."

KInnear, president Of the w. C. T. IT,,
Saturday sent to Bismarck for presen-

by several thousand citizens asking that
the present prohibitory law be main
tained. Tho action OF the legislature ia un-
certain. 1t is believed that majority In
the senate favor resubmission, while the
house is thought to favor the present
iron-clad prohibition law. Liquor Is
sold openly in almost every prominent
town in the state. The vote was Q very
close one on the liquor clause OF the con.
stitution. A majority OF the votes cast
on that subject were tor prohibition, but
1t was not majority Of all the votes
cast. There has been litigation without

New England ports, "a cents. and for
Boston and New England, IS cents.
To end what was formed the mercan-
tile action Of some OF tho houses In the
trade was, however. the great purpose
Of the convention, and this was brought
about. A sore point with many OF the
manufacturers has been the fact that
some OF their brethren, especially those
in the west. have been making contracts

tracts. Some OF them have been trans

ufacturers have been brought into q
