KILLED BY CIGARETTES.
Young William Bird Dies an Awful
Death From Nicotine Poisoning.

New York Herald
smoking cigarettes killed him. That is the
verdict in the case of William Bird. barely Is
years old, who died of nicotine poisoning yester-
day morning at the Gouyerneur hospital.
Young Bird had been cigarette fiend for five
years. He was never sick day until the deadly
nicotine began to get in its work. He lived with
DIS father, William J. Bird, a halter, at No. 10
Stanton street Several months ago Bird for
babe the youth to smoke any more cigarettes.
AT that time the boy smoked before breakfast,
and frequently he went to bed with cigarette
IN his mouth.
Every possible effort, Mr. Bird told me last
night, had been made to induce his sou to stop
smoking. He was forbidden to smoke cigarettes
IN the house, but was allowed a pipe and
tobacco instead. But pipe did not satisfy the
Young man aud he spent most OF his time hid
ing away from home, and If he was not smoking
cigarette 1t was because he could not by any
means obtain one.
When forcibly deprived of them he would dis
play all OF the cunning of an opium fiend and
his friends, rather than see him suffer what APP
peared TO be excruciating torture, restored to
him the cigarettes.
Latterly he had been smoking from two to
four packages OF cigarettes daily. For several
weeks prior to Thursday the boy had fighty
spells and occasionally showed signs of soften
ing of the brain. He grew thinner and weaker,
and on Thursday he fell into comatose condi-
ton, from which his family found it impossible
TO arouse him.
Bird was removed on Friday to the Cow
erneur hospital, and it took House Surgeon DR..
j. 4. Johnson only short time TO decide that he
was suffering from nicotine poisoning
The boy was much emaciated. If he had
been in ordinary health he would have prob
ably weighed 80 pounds, instead of which he
only weighed about 100 pounds.
His cheeks were sallow and eunken. The
eyes had vacant stare and the pupils were alb
normally dilated His general eountenance
had an appearance of vacancy. His hands had
to be tied for fear his long finger nails might
scratch his face. The mouth was slightly open
and saliva dribbled from it. If food was placed
i'll his mouth he would swallow it, but he had
no power to feed himself.
In this horrible condition Bird fingered until
10 O'Clock yesterday morning. without once re-
gaining consciousness.
The surgeons were exceedingly anxious to
perform an autopsy in order to ascertain the
effects OF cigarette smoking the brain and
other organs, but the parents of the boy would
not consent.
Mr.. Bird told me he had no doubt that cigar
cite smoking killed his son.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-The air ship invented by

thoroughly demonstrated that craft has at last
been invented that permits feats of aerial navi-
gatlon never before accomplished in propelling
and steering.
me ship tested today is only a thirty loot
model, made OF oiled silk. and the practicability
OF using aluminium, which is to be the
material OF which the full-sized ships are TO

The car which is to carry passengers was not at

the air and was propelled by wheel like that of

age batteries on the floor attached by light

the interior of the exposition building. The

the same time beiped to give strength to
wheat.
The market continued strong after the
noon hour, notwithstanding unfavorn5le
cables. The Board of Trades dispatch
quoted Paris and Berlin as both lower, but
this WIS lost sight of in view of the sharp
up,urn in corn and tho advance in pork.
Shorts covered freely, ,osnd December sold
up to S6Lsc, and at O'Clock was about S6a4c
The advance was checked, but another rally
carried the price 20 Se, and the close was
&c under That.
Cora started at about yesterdays close,
grew weak and cold off some, hut the de-
mand soon increased, and, New York being
higher, especially for July, tho market here
strengthened and there was rapid aC-
vance. The receipts were about 20 cars be-
low the estimates, aud the estimate for to-
mcrrow was for only 49S cars. These feat
ures were f9ctors in the strength, which
ontinued. There vas also sharp demand
for cash, No. 2selling up 20 6Oc and No. yell
low to Gle. The shorts got scared and helped
along thc bulge by covering their sales.
September opened at 5l1ac, sold of to bl12c,
th"n rallied to 5ss4c and closed at 525sc.
Oats were rather quiet and weaker, and
prices ranged lower and closed with a net
loss of 1;c IN july, nc on August and steady
on September. There were no special feat
urcs developed, few orders being in the
market. --.
Provisions opened higher on smaller re-
ceipts of hogs than expected and an ad
vance of10c III prices ut the yards, and a
strong feeling was developed. especially in
pork and ribs The story that France WAS
about to remove the embargo on hog prod
ucts started ii. and with every advance

advance in September pork to Sll 10. This
was followed by a. reaction to $40 S7}a, but

Grain, Flour and Feed.

Receipts as bul1etined at the Grain Ex-
change, % cars, as follows: By Pittsburg,
Ft Wayne and Chicago Railway, cars OF
corn, of hay, of Oats, l of bran, of feed,
8 of flour. By Pittsburg, Cincinnati and st.
Louis, l car of oats, of corn. The general
drift in cereal lines is toward lower prices.
July wheat, which sold in Chicago at the be-
ginning of the month for 9334c, was quoted
yesterday atS7c. Ear corn is steady and hay
has picked up a little within day or two
owing to short supplies. Flour Is weak, in
sympathy with the decline in wheat, and
have to be reduced at an early day. Spring
wheat flour holds up better than winter
wheat products.

short time when our quotations must be re-

of soft whites. In this line the refneries are
generally sold ahead. Coffees are fairly

DULL BUT CONFIDENT.
PROSPECTS AT HOME AND
ABROAD BRIGHTER.

No Probability of More Gold Shipments
A Decline in Cordago the Only Feature
in the Stock MarIset-Atchinson Bonds
Are in Demand.
NEW YORK, July 16.-The general indisposi-
tion to operate in the stock market has
grown to such proportions that even the
traders are complaining that the fluctua-
tions are insufficient to afford chance of
profit on either side, ana the outside public
are out entirely SO that the commission
business transacted is almost nothing. Not
withstanding this there is general conf
dence in the future, and no inclination to
part with their holdings is detected on the
part of the present owners of American Sc
curities. The bear manipulation seems to
have for its object the making of oppor-
tunities to pick up stocks, rather than to
cover short contracts.
Advices from abroad go to show that there
is much better feeling on the other side of
the ocean, and that American securities are
looked upon with great favor. The late
purchases for foreign account, even though
they are very limited, have an influence to
create confidence here. The beginning of
the movement of the new crops and the
weaker tone to the foreign exchanges have
done away entirely with the gold export
scare, and nothing is now heard of it in the
street.
. The dullness and stagnation in the mar
ket to-day were equal to anything seen of
late and Srading was more barren of feat
ure than for months. The only important
movement was the decline in Cordage,
while no animation was shown in anything
traded in. The invitation of the Postmaster
General for bids for carrying the mails
helped Pacific Mail at the opening, but its
influence was soon lost, and the final gain
of the stock is small fraction. Burlington
showed evidence of more interest than any
other stock on the regular list, though st.
Paul, as usual, was more active. but in
neither was the extreme fucJuation for the
day for more than fraction.
The general market opened firm under
the influence of few foreign buying orders,
but became heavy, Immediately losing
almost all the advantage, and while pre-
senting O firm front during the afternoon
the changes in quotations were SO inSignifi-
cant that the final changes were for the
smallest fractions only, except in Cordage,
which is down ~ per cent The close was
dull and steady.
Railroad bonds were equally as dull as
stocks, though little character was given
to the trading by the activity and strength
in Atchison incomes, which, however, rose
only small fraction. Their sales reached
Sl09 600 out of a total of only $572 900 for the
day A firm tone resulted in generally
higher figures, but the gains are in all cases
insignificant.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yester-
day. Corrected daily for THE DIsPATCHby WHIT
