DEATH In HISCOFFEE,
ATTEMPT or A NEGRO TO POISON A
SEcONC-STREeT DRUGGIST.
A Whole BOG Of Rough ON rats Thought
to Have Been Ussd--rhs Man
Not Caught.

A bold but very clumsy attempt was
made Saturday morning to poison MIR.
Thomas w. Leonard. druggist doing
business ct 724 north Second street. For
several days negro named Albert Holmes
had been employed by Mr.. Leonard to do
bis cleaning up and the two had had some
words. MIR. Leonard has his cooking done
by colored woman named McLauren,
living opposite to his place OF business.
Early Saturday morning before Holmes
arrived the woman sent the druggists
coffee over as usual and he drank portion
OF 1t and set the pot aside.
PECULIAR SCUM.
About 10 O'Clock, Holmes having in the
mean time come in, Mr.. Leonard poured
out cup of the beverage. but noticing
peculiar scum upon it threw 1t away. he
then examined the remaining contents OF
the pot, and being struck with its pale color
sent the vessel over to the hcLauren VIC.

know what she clarified her coffee with.
The latter being mystifed and unable to
explain. took the pot II Or. Merriveather,

grounds and dry them. This she did, and
the Doctor discovered in the grounds

ROUGH ON RATS.
Mr.. Leonard had had in his store two
boxes Of Rough on Rats" but one OF
these had disappeared and so had the
negro Holmes. Sergeant Alexander Tom:
linson was sent for. and having discovered
q motive for the negro's wishing to do
Leonard harm, was not long in putting
two and two together and concluding that
Holmes had poured the contents of one OF
the boxes of rat poison into the cofee-pot.
he swore out warrant for the negro
and was on his trail for some
time, but failed TO come mp with
him. Monday night. accompanied by
Officer John Hall he went to the house
Of Judah Baker, in New Paradise alley:
which is between First and Second, Duval
and Baker streets. where Holmes was sup
posed to be sleeping. but did not find him:
Yesterday parties living IN the house said
that Holmes fed through the back way
upon the approach of the officers. These
latter had no access to the back premises.
