How Bicycle Collisions May Easily
be Avoided.
A citizen called at this office yesterday
and said he witnessed the accident on the
preceding day in which bicyclist ran
over a little boy at Fourth and @ streets.
He said the accident was unavoidable,
and that the rider dismounted, picked the
child up, carried him into the schoolhouse
and exhibited sincere regret at the affair.
This may all be true except as to the
accident being unavoidable. If the BIZ
cyclist had not been riding on the side
walk he would not have run over the

THE POISON WAS HANDY.
JOHN CAVENAUGH KILLS HIMSELF
BY TAKING ATROPIA.
Tho Bottle Carelessly Left In the Sick
Mans Room at tho
County Hospital
Yesterday.

John Cavenaugh, patient at the
county hospital, died at 0 O'Clock yes
terdsy morning from an overdose of
atropris. Whether it was taken with
suicidal intent is not known, though the
evidence at the inquest last night went
to show that it might have been purely
accidental.
The inquest was held by Coroner
Gates at Orr & Coz at 7 80 O'Clock.
Martin Hsgan, county physician. tes-
titled that he had prescribed cough
syrup containing morphia, which had
bean used by Cavenaugb, who had gone
to the hospital suffering from consump-
ton. DIR. Hagan testified that he had
aided in restoring CaveIaugh from what
he supposed was an overdose OF the
cough mixture. Later he was called in
and found him suffering from atrophine
poisoning. The bottle containing the
atropia was left in the ward when they
had attended him for the morphine
sickness.
Cavenaugh drank Of the atropia, after
which he asked the nurses what it was.
The bottle was plainly labelled poison
and it must have been the extreme
carelessness OF Cavensugh that he drank
it. unless he intended to kill himself.
DR.. Parsons, assistant physician
at the hospital, testified in sub
stance to the facts given by
DR.. Hagan and the nurses, and when
questioned by one of the jury, admitted
that it was through carelessness that
the poison was LETT in the sick man 5
ward.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict
to the effect that John Covenaugh, aged
90, came to his death by mis- own hand,
by taking atropia.
No blame was attached to the attend
ing physicians.

MURDERED IND BURNED.
Robinson Winston the Victim of an Tn
faithful Wife and Her Paramour.

SANDY HOOK, VA. Jan. Especial
On the night Of November q, 1882. an OH
colored man named Robinson Winston,
who lived alone In a cabin near TabscOtt,
was burned to death in his cabin. Some
two years before this he had driven his
wife from home on account of her I'M
faithfulness TO him. After the burning a
coIored detective was employed. but he
failed 10 apprehend the guilty parties.
II YVES generally thought that the old
man had two or three hundred dollars in
his cabin with him, which gave rise to
the murder theory.
On last Friday the citizens who had IN
terested themselves in the matter had
Jim Coleman, Susan Winston and Ellen
Winston, all oolored. arrested for the
murder. On Friday night they confessed
10 the murder. On Saturday they were
committed 10 Jail by Justice W. p. Jen-
kins. On yesterday Sunday they were
taken to jail and confined in separate
cells.
Susan Winston was the wife Of the
murdered man. and Ellen Winston, a girl
twelve years old. the daughter.
Susan Winston ana her daughter say
that Jim Coleman killed Robinson Win
ston with an axe, while Coleman says
that Susan Winston did the killing with
a stick. After the man was murdered he
was thrown into the fireplace and a
load Of wood piled on the body and
burned.

"JOSEPH" At THE THEATRE.
A Play Full OF Laughs and With Lots Of
Dash About IL.

Joseph" attracted a large audience at
the Richmond Theatre last evening, and
the farcical comedy was most thoroughly
enjoyed. II is a splendid play, full Of
laughs, and has the dash about IT pecu-
liar TO adaptations from the French. The
plot is not very intricate ore. but the
various compile atoms that arise give
ample opportunity TO the excellent actors
and actresses.
Briefly stated the plot is something like
this: Felix Flutherby, club man, happy,
carclCs SIS and free, is confronted with the
fact that his daughter who has been at
the Beiiingham's Seminary for young
ladies, is now too old Cor study. and the
right age for a debutant Major and
Mrs. Bellingham refuse to keep Constance
any longer, and Flutherby has no friends
with whom to place her. Finally Joseph,
a staid. sober minded young man. is hit
upon as the man for Constance to marry
and the clerk is metamOrphosed into
swell looking clubman. From that tlme
until the drop of the curtain the fun be-
gins, and that real. jolly tangible sort Of
fun that flows. ripples and bubbles with
out the slightest effort.
The cast is composed of people who are
well known to all theatrical men, and
some of the names are familiar ones in
the best houses Of the country.
Mr.. George Giddens does the part of
Joseph" splendidly. and is admirably
supported by Miss Elise de Wolfe, who
last year made her debut in "Thermidor."
Miss de Wolfe was at one time member
OF Ward McAllister's phalanx, and gave
up her position in the social world to
become an actress. She has vivacity,
methods that are full OF chic, and inter
prets her rather difficult role in most
pleasing manner.
The entire company. for that matter
was good, but want of space does not
allow me TO particularize. There win be
a performance this evening and matinee
tomorrow afternoon.
