WILLIAM 3. IRVING SUICIDES IN
A FIT OF DEPENDENCY.
Swallowed Fifteen Grains OF Nor

Swallowed Fifteen Grains OF Nor
phine, Told His Wife What He Had
Done, and Lay Down to Dis-Ill-
Health the Cause OF His SeIf-De-
struction.
William 3. Irving, a well-kncwn young
man, died last night shortly after II o'clock
at bis home, No. % Drayton street, from
the effects of dose Of morphine taken late
| in the afternoon with suicidal intent.
Dependency is supposed to have been the
cause Of the rash act. MIR. Irving was sick for
a numbar Of years with lung trouble, and
when Prof. Koch's cure for consumption
was introduced into this country he
allowed himself TO be experimental
upon. The result was be improved
remarkably and was enabled TO
resume work He secured an appoint
ment as an engineer IN the fire department.,
and Yves connected with the headquarters
until about six months ago, when he re-
signed TO become engineer at the CONNER
cial Guano Company's works.
TRIED KooH's CURE.
The Improvement induced by Koch's cure
was not permanent, and few days ago his
old lung ailment returned with renewed
vigor. Mr.. Irving at once became very
gloomy about his condition and brooded
constantly over his inourable disease. He
told some OF his friends that he wished the
end would come soon and intimated that he
might shortly bring 1t about.
For the last two days he was particularly
respondent and yesterday his condition was
such that be was unable to go TO work. He
went out in the afternoon, telling his wife
be was going to take a short walk. He re-
turned shortly before dark and as soon as
he came into the house he told his wife that
he had swallowed fifteen grains Of morphine
and all his troubles would soon be over.
Mrs. Irving at once hurried q messenger
for DR.. Stone, aud when the physician ar
rived he saw at a glance that the drug had
begun its deadly work and it was only a
question OF a few hours before fatal termi-
nation would result.
BEYOND MEDICAL AID.
DR.. Stone, however, used every means to
save the mans life. but his eforts we're I'M
availing. The suicide gradually sank into
a comatose condition and died about six
hours after swallowing the drug.
Acting Coroner W. T. Dixon was notified
OF the suicide and went to the house and in
vestigated the case. There was nothing in
it to warrant an inquest. and permission
was given to bury the body.
Mr.. Irving was a native of Savannah and
was 80 years old. He was son of Alex
ander s. Irving, who was drowned from an
excursion boat in the river about eighteen
years ago. The suicide leaves a wife and
four children. He was q member of Ian

WILL HAVE TO WAIT AWHILE.

Doubt about the South Bound Using
the centrars Right OF Way.
Receiver Conner of the Central railroad,
who is also presidents of the South Bound,
was asked yesterday what prospect there is
for the South Bound railroad to come
into the Csntral's passenger shed on its own
tracks instead OK on the Centrars tracks as
at present.
He replied that he could not say at pres
emit. He had no authority, he said, to dis
pose Of the Centraps right of way to another
railroad.
Mr.. Conner was asked IL this could not
be done by order of the court, and he said
he was doubtful II it could be done at all
while the road is In the hands of re-
ceiver.
Mr.. Conner said the South Bound had
been anxious TO come on its own track
ever since it was built. It is frequentl y
compelled to wait at the junction for the
Ceatrals trains to pass. they Of course nav-
ing precedence.
1t is surmised that the Florida Central
and PeDinsular railroad, the lessee Of the
South Bound, is behind the effort to secure
the South Bounds entrance on its own
tracks. as this would be Of great advantage
when the line to jacksonville is completed.

In the Eastern district. The daily average
OF patients treated outside of his Office was

The Play to Be Seen in Savannah for
the First Time This Week.
The sale of seats for 'The Colonel" Sat-
urday matinee and nights attraction at
the theater, indicates that the play
will receive a fiastering reception in
Savannah. The impression which the
management of "The Colonel" desires the
theatre-going public to receive regarding
that play Is that it Is a legitimate comedy
and a clean, wholesome production
throughout. In 1t all there is naughU
to offend the most fastidious, and
although the fun runs fast and furious and
laughter relgns supreme, the cause and
effect are produced by entirely natural and
legitimate methods. Thus far "The Colo

of an ovation and managers are eager to
book return dates. Both play and players
have received unstinted praise from the

The Pleasures Of Travel.

remember, says writer in the american
Book Maker, of hearing of the peculiar case OF
drummer when was down south. A drum
mer boarded train late at night and wanted
to get of at station which he would reach
about o'clock in the morning. AS he was
Tired he thought he would take sleeping berth
for q few hours and told the porter to be sure
and wake him in time to get Off at his station
After he had undressed he called the
porter again, and putting O dollar
in his hand told him that It was i'm
portant that he should be put off at the proper
time; that as he was heavy sleeper, and some
times woke up dazed and ugly, the porter
should carry him off IL necessary. Then he
went to sleep and did not wake till daylight was
peeping through the sides of the window blinds,
He knew that he ought TO have been at his
destination before daylight. and springins up
he called the porter. That individual came
along presently and looked as though he had
been struck by the cowcatcher. Didn't tell Won
70 put me OF at -, you idiot?" exclaimed
the drummer in rage. "And now have gone
beyond 1t. and shall miss my appointment. y
The look on the porter's face was a study as he
said; Why, boss, am you de gemmen who 9im-
me a dollar to put you off?" "Of course / am. -
you black fool" replied the drummer ''Weil
well, said the porter, for the Lawd's sake
who was the man put off l wonder?'
