Another somewhat similar case was that
OF Frederick Ives of New Haven. Mr..
Ives was man of unusual business acu-
men. He had built up a large fortune for
himself, he was a strong republican, and he
owned the leading republican newspaper of
New Haven-that one which now Mr.
Lynds Harrison. who has achieved some
notoriety by reason of his correspondence in
reference to the Connecticut political mud
die, controls.
Mr.. Ives from being an occasional smoker
became an Incessant one. Like Mr.. Booth
he was never without tobacco in his waking
hours, and he smoked the strongest cigars
which be could obtain. When the effect Of
this narcotizing began to be apparent, Mr..
Ives friends pleaded with him; but it
seemed in his case, as in that Of Delmonico,
as though he preferred to continue his cigar
and TO enjoy the drowsy lethargy, rather
than TO give it up aud make fight for
healthy vigor again.
At last sickness came to him, and when
the physicians administered medicines they
found that their effect was absolutely
neutralized by the nicotine in his system
ard even the strongest drugs had no more
influence than would { glass Of water. He
passed away. drowsed on, went to sleep, so
to speak, without waking, and his case is
now referred to by the physicians as one of
the chief illustrations Of what nicotine poi
souiug will do.
ex-senator srOCKToN's EXPERIENCE.
When Gen. John R. Stockton was a mem
Der OF the L nited States Senate he was, like
Booth, addicted to the excessive use Of to-
bacco. He used even TO wake Up in the
night and light his cigar Nothing but the
strongest cigars suited him. Mr.. stockton

HANDED HIS WIFE POISON.

" If You Want to Die, swallow This" He
said to Her.
Bridget Hennessy, aged % years, of 333
Oakland street, Greenpont, is lying in St.
GATHERINGS Hospital suffering from dose
of carbolic acid.
The story told by Mrs. Hennessy is a pitt
full one. Her husband, William, re-
turned home long after midnight, drunk.
His weeks earnings were gone. The
woman was penniless and without food
for herself and child. When she pleaded
for money he answered with a blow. She
was then pitched into the street. As the
brutal husband closed the door of their
humble apartments he exclaimed:
Now L am rid Of you l shall kill the
child"
Fearing that he would carry out his
drunken threat she tried to gain an en-
trance to the rooms to save her child, but
found the door locked The child was cry
ing, and fearing the worst the nearly crazed
woman ran to the rear of the house, where
she climbed the fire escape and gained an
entrance to the house by smashing the win
dOws. Her hands were badly cut by the
glass. Reaching the bed on which the child
was lying she found the little one unhurt.
8 III l were only dead" was her piLiful
cry.
"Lf you want to die" said Hennessy
Swallow this"
He handed her bottle containing car
bolic acid. The woman made no reply, but
drank the contents and was soon writhing
on the floor in agony.

MANGLED TO PIECES.
A Suicide Throws Himself in Front OF q
Moving Train.

A Suicide Throws Himself in Front OF q
Moving Train.
A horrible case Of suicide took place about
o'clock yesterday morning at place about
five miles past Laurel Creek. AT that time
the San Jose train of the Southern Pacific,
which arrives in this city at 1880 o'clock,
was travelling at high rate Of speed and
the engineer noticed man standing near
the track, watching the approaching engine.
When the locomotive was about ten feet
away, he DELIBERATELY threw himself in front
of the engine and in another moment he was
under the Wheels the entire train passing
over him before it could he stopped.
The man was almost all torn to pieces,
and fragments of his body were strewn
along the track for many feet. He WAS
mangled beyond Identification. One arm
was cut off at the shoulder and one leg at
the hip. Tie heart and liver were torn out
and lay almost fifty feet from the body. The
head was crushed fiat and the backbone
was picked up in two or three different
places. After the train was stopped an ex-
animation of the clothes of the suicide was
made, but nothing was found which would
in any way reveal his identity.
His clothes were Of good material, and he
appeared 10 have been young man IN good
circumstances. About 60 cents in silver
and box Of matches were all that was
found in his pocket. Collector of the Port
