TOUGH FOR THE DOCTOR.
A Fellow for Whom He Did a Favor
Annoyed Him this Time,

Shortly before noon yesterday young
man aged perhaps 20-years called at DIR.
Sayer Hasbrouck's Office on High street,
and represented himself as having been
sent by the railroad officials to have his
eyes examined. The doctor made the ex-
animation and found one eye totally blind.
During the investigation the young
man told pitiful story of how he was
attempting TO reach his home in Georgia,
and claimed that the railroad officials
were TO send him there after the examna-
tion.
The doctor, contrary TO his usual Gus
tom, gave the young man written state
ment as TO his condition.
Shortly afterward the doctor received n
telephone message from the store of John
Shepard asking about the letter.
IL appears that the man went from the
doctors office 10 the store and. showing
the letter given him by DIR. Hasbrouck,
together with another letter from DR.
Sawyer, epdeavored TO enlist Mr.. Shep-
ards sympathies.
lie partially succeeded, but the timely
telephone message nipped his little game
in the bud
Appearances point 10 the fact that he is
working the streets for all that he can
get. Detective Swan was placed on the
case and proceeded TO investigate.

ANOTHER SCHEME OF HONEY'S.
But He Will Have Two Weeks
Longer to Wait.

The House committee on judiciary gave
hearing to-day on the three acts, namely,
an act TO amend an act entitled "An Act
to Incorporate the Newport Water
Works. an act in addition TO and in
amendment of an act entitled "An Act
for Incorporating the City of Newport;"
and an act empowering town councils TO
prevent the distribution of impure water
for household use.
The substance of the three bills is that
the city government of Newport, which
was elected on the basis of cheaper
waser, feels obliged TO do something TO
sustain its promises made before election.
Accordingly the plan is formulated TO cry
down the water service of the city, and
also the rates, which are from natural
causes, higher than in many cities, and in
this way they hope TO be able to either
buy the water works at a low figure or
condemn and take them ut any figure.
City Solicitor Van Slyck and eN-City
Solicitor Peckham were TO appear as
counsel for the waterworks company, but
Col. Van. Slyck being taken seriously i'll,
Mr.. Peckham asked that the hearing be
postponed for two weeks Mayor Honey
of Newport objected, rs several experts
had been brought here at enormous eX-
pense, but the committee finally decided
TO adjourn TO March 10.

A SERIOUS AFFAIR.
One of the Servants of Dr.. Has
brouck Suspected of Poisoning.
SHE HAD BEEN REPREMANDED.
The Family Became Ill and the Doctor
Found that the Coffee Had Been Pois-
oned-The servant was Discharged But
Not Arrested.

Suspicion OF one of the most cold -blooded
crimes of the year and one almost rival
ling the heinous offence 10y Katie Judd in
Newport, a number of years ago, has just
come to light in this city. 1t differs from
the Newport case, however, inasmuch as
poison was the agent used rather than
fire, but the motives in both cases were
identical, spite and revenge for real or
fancied wrong instigating the crime.
For a number of weeks past there has
been in the employ of DIR. Sayer Has
brouck, as a servant, woman, who, since
her entrance into the house has kept her
associates i'm state of turmoil and fear
by her strange doings and manners. The
woman was taken in as second girl" but
shortly after her arrival was installed as
cook. For short time all went WELL
when suddenly vague symtoms Of discon-
tent were made manifest in the kitchen.
IL was soon evident that the cook aud
her assistent were not on the best of
terms, and an investigation disclosed the
fact that for a number of days the former
had been endeavoring to freeze out" her
companion to make room for a relative of
her own
Mrs. Hasbrouck made the discovery and
called the cook to account for her actions,
caused her TO lay her plans for revenge.
On Sunday the doctor arose at his usual
hour, feeling in good spirits, and after
partaking of a hearty breakfast pre-
pared himself for his work. Shortly
afterward, probably half an hour. he
was suddenly seized with spell Of
nausea, which so prostrated him as to rem
der him unfit for work. His wife was
also taken violently i'll, as was the servant,
who had incurred the cooks displeasure.
AS soon as he was able the doctor made
an investigation and eventually reached
the conclusion that either by accident or
design the food eaten that morning had
been poisoned
Late in the afternoon the doctor decided
that the coffee had been tampered with
and reported the affair To the police officer
on that beat. Nothing definite could be
fastened against any Of the servants, but
the suspicious of the doctor were aroused
and he resolved To get rid of the cook at
the earliest opportunity.
On Tuesday the doctor was again taken
violently sick and as soon as'possible he
discharged the cook. This time he dis
covered the presence of Croton oil in the
coffee
DR.. Hasbrouck was seen by NEWS
representative this morning, aud while
reserved acknowledged the facts as pre-
sented. He said that in his opinion the
coffee had been mixed with soap or Croton
oil, the symptoms of nausea indicating
the presence of these foreign bodies in the
fluid.
The incidents of the week have so
worked upon the doctor as to cause him
the greatest uneasiness. In his business
the continual use of deadly poisons is ne
cessitated, and had she partly been so
minded she could have had access to the
long array of bottles and there is no tell
ing what might have occurred had not
prompt measures been taken.

HE COMMITTED SUICIDE,
But Concealed His Identity, So That
No One Knows Him.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Feb. 25.-An un-
known nan. registering under the name
of John A. Lane, Philadelphia, shot him
self through the head ut the Atlantic
Hotel about midnight last night. The
man was tall, well built and fine looking.
and registered at the hotel late in the
afternoon. He passed the evening in the
reading room, where he appeared TO be
extremely nervous. Shortly before 10
o'clock he entered toilet room, and after
pacing up and down for fifteen minutes
shot himself through the temple with n
large 3s-calibre revolver
The shot killed him instantly He was
lying on the floor when G. Il. Thomas, a
Boston travelling salesman, who was in
another closet, reached his side.
Although the man signed his name on
the hotel register as "John A. Lane" there
IS every reason TO believe that this is fic-
ttious. He had evidently made the most
careful effort To conceal his identity, his
mo nogram had been cut from his shirts
handk kerchiefs and Undertaking, and
the laundry marks had beeu also cut out
from his collars and cuffs. There were no
letters or documents in his pockets, and
not the slightest article was found that
bore his name. The body is at the
mOrRle.

SCHOENER'S EXPERIENCE.
The Schmits and His Neighbors
Drove Him to Town With Sticks.

MAscoNTAH, ILL.,, Feb. 25.-A bachelor
named Schooner in Clinton county was
yesterday beaten 10 insensibility by two
employees named Schmidt. The Schmidts
ran TO the house of neighboring farmer
who was on i'll terms with Schener and
they slept.
When the farmer returned with his men
Schooner had regained consciousness. He
was then driven two miles TO "a police
justice TO answer a charge of ATTEMPTED
murder. The farmer was kept moving by
sharp sticks which were stuck into his
legs and body. His recovery is doubtful.
The Schmidts have disappeared.

Cured here last Saturday. IL appears
that Robert Brown, young man of about
83 years of age, belonging in Central
Falls, II. l., was visiting Mr.. Richmond's
family at Dighton, where he had previous
ly boarded. Brown had engaged to work
for w ii. Gliddings in Pawtucket and
went to the railroad station at Dighton,
where he met an old acquaintance, Oscar
Lockwood The meeting was not at all
cordial one, from Brown at least, Tor rea-
sons which he himself states
IL seems that some two years ago Brown
was visiting n brother in ST. Paul and
while there became infatuated with his
brothers wife. 1t was at this time he met
Lockwood, who led a sporting mans life.
Lockwood soon became aware of Browns
infatuation and has ever since used his
secret in threatening 10 tell the girls hus-
band. In this manner he has left Brown
without scarcely IL cent. On Saturday
Lockwood demanded s25 Of his " friend"

enraged.
Brown left him and started home,

The first ball went through Browns hat,

might be expected, Lockwood hadn't

when Detective Seares called Mt the house
and Brown related the above story.
III his wounds will permit, the injured
man will be taken TO the Morton Hospital
in Taunton this afternoon.
The police thought from descriptions
given, that they knew, the assailant,
whose proper name is not Lockwood, at
all and called on the relatives of the sus-

ALMOST BEFORE THE KAISER.
They'll Come Again. They Say, 100000
Strong-A Riotous Demonstration
This Afternoon i'm Berlin-The Hos
pitfalls Full and the City In Tremendous
r'~citement.
SPECIAL TO THE SEws.l

BERLIN, Feb. 25.-The sensation ere ated
by the remarks of the emperor at the ban
quet given i'm his honor by the Branden-
berg Diet last night was Insignificant
compared with the uproar which followed
an attempted demonstration by crowd
of workmen to-day.
About o'clock this afternoon body of
between 5000 and 1900 unemployed work
men met by a preconcerted arrangement
in public square and passed series of
inflammatory resolutions denouncing en-
ployers and the system of government
which enabled the latter to crush down
labor beneath the iron heel of capital, and
calling on the government TO take steps TO
protect meu dependent on labor for
livelihood.
The news spread with wonderful celerity
and the socialists and agitators deter
mined TO take advantage of the excited
condition of the workmen TO make
demonstration before the castle of the
Emperor Tie police tried to argue with
the crowd. but could not shake their
determination TO go TO the castle.
When all was in readiness the immense
crowd of thoroughly enraged workmen
started to march TO the Castle, the leaders
crying ION to the Castle"
The entire police force was hurried TO
the scene and massed in front of the work
mems column but was driven off When
the mob reached the statue of Frederick
the Great, a stop was made.
A well-known Socialist leader made
passionate address TO the throng, urging
the workmen TO carry their demonstration
to the gates of the castle. Loud cheers
greeted this suggestion.
At signal from the leader the crowd
began To sing THE Marseilles" and the
march TO the castle was again taken up.
As the procession moved IL was cheered
by thousands who had gathered on either
side of the road. The castle guard had
been strengthened and armed with rifles
To meet the mob.
When the procession was waiting n
short distance of the castle, it was met by
a strong detachment of police, and fierce
struggle ensued. The police were better
armed and organized and soon had the
columns of the workmen in great disorder.
The rioters fell beneath the blows of abe
police, many being wounded and captured.
Seeing that defeat was inevitable the
leaders gave the signal for retreat and to
come another day, 100000 strong, to meet
the Emperor's butchers. as they said.
They then retreated leaving sixty or
seventy lying on the ground wounded, as
many more were made prisoners.
The injured were removed TO the hos
pital ana the prisoners locked up. The
widest excitement prevailed in the city
all afternoon.
