False Report.

A sensational report was sent flying
about town yesterday to the effect that
Mrs. John GaSkins,, of the Island, had
attempted to take her life by the
chlorotorm route, and the report was
published with some stuff about her be-

The truth is that Mrs. Gaskins took
some chloroform for an aching tooth,
and just afterwards had a fainting fit
or something Of the sort, in no manner
connected with the small quantity of
the drug she had taken. Her physician
reported she had no intention of taking
her life, and was in no danger.
