VIM. Frederick Justs Escapes De ath
From the Effects of the Killing

Many reports are being circulated over
the city, to the effect that Mr.. VIM. B.
Frederick, travelling man, who resides
on Olive street, attempted TO commit sui
eide Sunday afternoon while at hotel
by taking morphine.
From all that could be learned OF the
affair, Mr. Frederick came in off the road
and on Sunday morning, while down ia
the CITY, he complained of pains in his
stomach. Nothing was thought of the
matter by his frieI DIS, who left him short
ly after he com planned of being ILL. La
ter he was found in hotel under the in
tluence of morphine. He was taken in a
carriage to his home and Dr. TroIlinge
was summoned and soon made his ap-
pearance.
What took place then will be found be-
low, as a reporter for the LIGHT inter-
viewed the physician and gained the
following information. i 30 -
Il was called to Mr.. Fredericlss house
on Olive street on Sunday afternoon"
said the doctor, and found him lying in
bed. He had, so he SAID been Ill and had
taken some morphine to relieve the pain.
While we were working with him he re-
marked: let me alone, ! will be all right
in little while | don't know whether
or not he took this drug with suicidal ia
tent. He is not a man that is in the habit
of taking morphine. When he was some
what relieved he seemed to be very glad
had attended him and thanked me for
my work"
There is nothing to cause the suspicion
that Mr.. Frederick attempted suicide,
other than the fact that several days
previous TO his taking sick he remarked
to August OhnCSorge. you would be sur
priScd II were to shuttle off ia a week,
wouldn't you?"
Mr.. Frederick is all right now and since
he has been under physicians care, he
has not been taken with these sudden
and severe pains.

The Eddy Residence Robbed.

Two weeks ago two little boys came to
this city and walked the streets over try
ing to secure position. Mr.. Eddy, who
resides on Avenve c, took pity on ore OF
the little fellows and gave him a home,
requiring him to do little things around
the house for his board. One day the lat
ter part of last week Mrs. Eddy left an ex
pensive gold watch on her bureau, and
left being gone about TWO hours. When
she returned the boy was missing. as was
also the watch. Neither have been heard
of or seen since that time. IL is the gen.
eral belief that some of the grown va
grants around the city are using little
bows for this kind of WORK

The Pavement of the Future.

HI. Weber expresses his convic-
ton that the vitrified paving brick is
the nearest approach hitherto made
to the ideal pavement for city streets.
1t is not as dusty as asphalt which,
In this respect, Is highly objections
able. Brick pavement, too, Is prsc
ticalIy as smooth as asphalt, and will
retain an even surface, which no
other pavement does so satisfactorily
as brick. 1t is easily repaired, and
when it is necessary to take it up for
the purpose of tapping or repairing
sewers, water and gas pipes, or for
any other purpose, the work can be
done by ordinary workmen, while a
limited number only of skilled
and high priced workmen can
repair asphalt pavements, and
only moreover, in certain kinds of
weather. It has been truly said that
1.-The best pavement is the one most
easily repaired" The necessary re-
pairs to water and gas pipes alone
should convince every one Of this.
Mr.. Weber holds that our cities can
construct and maintain vitreous
brick pavement at far less cost than
any other material. The life of this
pavement has been put at twelve
years, but Mr.. Weber insists that
twenty-five years represents more
truly its average lasting capacity.

In June there was either frost or snow
every night but three. The snow was
five inches deep for several days in suc-
cession in the interior of New York. and
from ten inches TO three feet in Vermont
and Maine. July was cold and frosty;
ice formed as thick as window panes
in every one Of the New England states.
August was still worse: ice formed
nearly an inch in thickness and killed
nearly every green thing in the United
States and in Europe. In the spring Of
