NIen to Deal Out Medicine

1t is understood that the retail druggists
throughout the State are organizing, pre-
paratory TO asking the legislature this fall
to pass pharmacy law similar to the ons
in effect in Massachusetts. The law sought
for would permit of none but registered
druggists being prescription clerks, or en-
gagng in the business; that is to say, if a
co-partrership we're formed one of the firm
would have to be u registered pharmacist.
And all clerks would be examined by
board of examiners, and If they were capas
bic, druggists licenses would be granted.
The movement is started for the purpose of
bringing the business up to Il certain
standard which concerns the people The
prime movers in the matter believe that
men who deal out poisonous drugs should be
competent aud, Notwithstanding the fact
that the last leg stature saw lit to kill a bill
emGodying their views, they will try again,
this time with n solid front.

Nine Toughs Attack Patrick Halloran's
Houss-A Fight Ensucs.
Shortly before o'clock Sunday morning
Patrick Halloran called at police headuuar-
ters and reported that some toughs were
sneaking about his house on King street,
and had been around there for the past
several nights. He was excited and the
officer told him to return home and he would
get warrants and arrest the parties in the
morning. Hallorau had an axe helve in his
hand at the time. A half hour afterward
Officer Doxie, whose beat is on Church
street, heard cries of murder in the direc-
ton of South Battery street, and he in
formed Officer Cayea at the police office.
They rushed toward the sounds, and when
few PAGES from Champlain street on King
street, they found Martin Garvey
lying near the roadway with blood
streaming down his face from q
fearful cash on the side of bis head.
One of the officers went into the house close
by, and upon opening the door saw Hal
loran, who called at the office, lying on the
floor, the blood oozing out of his mouth and
pouring from u cut on his forehead. By
this time DR.. Hazen, who lives on Pine
street, arrived and Halloran was made as
comfortable as could be under the circum-
stitches we're taken in closing the wound on
his head. There were others concerned in
the row, and the police kept mum until Mon
day morning when they had succeeded in
arr ssting ALL There were nine in the gang,
and as near as can be learned they went to
dance at place on Champlan street
known as the ''old brewery" and drank
heavily. 1t is probable they stoned Hal
| house. good
terms with him, and he, becoming
outraged at the continued onslaughts, took
his axe helve and went out, whereupon the
gang pounced upon him. He undoubtedly
| hit Garvey over the head and Mead on the
hand with his axe helve before the stone
struck him on the forehead and knocked him
down. Then they beat him terribly. He
was in precarious condition Sunday, but
was thought to be somewhat better yester
day. Garvey's wound is not serious, but be
was hard looking customer when Officer
Doxie took him into court. Those arrested
were John and Tom Fitzsimmons, Luther
Mead, Edward HALEY, LOOMS Wright
Martin Carney, James Polworth (alia.
Scotchy), John O'Brian and Jack Haley.
All except Polworth and Garvey were ad
mitted to bail in the sum of $500, the bal
in their cases being fixed at 500. Each case
was continued till W ednesday morning. The
charges were for assault and breach Of tn,
