Andrew Whelan. an old empi0ye of
the Consolidated Traction Company, met
his death this morning in the campany's
service. He has been employed since the
trolley system has been started In paint-
ing the iron poles from which the feed
wires are strung.
Shortly before eleven O'Clock this morn
ing he began to paint the pole which
stands at the southwest corner OF Airing
ton ana Ocean n In painting the
poles two ladders are used. one of
which hangs from the cross piece
at the top, and a short one
by which the other is reached. Whelan
was at the top and had finished painting
as far as the cross piece. While painting
this part he had been standing on the top
round OF the upper ladder, and his paint
pot he had hung upon one of The heavily
Insulated feed wires.

LOUISE MloHELL AN ANARCHIST.

Says the Cause is Spreading Especially
in the United States.
LONDON, Nov. %. 1893.-The representa-
tive of the United Press today had an in
terview with Louise Michel, the notorious
French female anarchist, in regard to the
Barcelona outrage and anarchism in gen.
eraI She declared that the throwing of
the bombs inthe Lyceum Theater at Bar
celona sprang from the blood of Pallis,
the man who attempted to assassinate
General Martinez Campos. She added
that increasing poverty and the seyerer
means of repression that had been adopted
by the authorities warranted more terrible
means of defence.
With reference to the European inter-
national agreement for the suppression of
anarchism and anarchists. she said the
whole thing was worthy only of derision.
TIL same thing had been tried before.
Wholesale arrests helped the cause. Ex-
plosions formed the best and most clement
means for extending the propaganda. The
number killed by explosions was always
less in proportion than the good lone.
The French measures against anarchists.
she declared. were the most repressive,
owing TO the government blockheads.
Bombs had not been recently used in the
United States because that country was
young and the evils there had not become
firmly rooted. These evils do not need
| violence to cure them. The anarchists
cause in the United States is in a flourish
ing condition.
The execution in Chicago of the men
convicted of connection with the famous
Haymarket affair had converted more
to anarchism than thousands Of speeches
could have done. The attempt to blow up
the Ne son monument in Montreal was in
no way connected with the anarchists of
that city. She concluded by saying that
Morocco now furnishes an instance of the
oppressed fighting against vicious powers.
Louise Michel will shortly publish a
book, a translation of the French title of
which is "A Red Century.

DIR. w. w. Varick. President OF the
County Board of Health and Vital Sta =

resignation from that board to the Board
of Freeholders, with a request that it
take effect Immediately. There is no

cember Z.
DR.. Varick was appointed to fill the a
cancy left by DR.. L. J. Gordon in the
incumbent expired IN May. 1892. He was
elected by his colleagues President of the
board at the first meeting after his ap-
pointmenr. and since that time has filled
that position. and always to the satlsfac4
ton Of the people, until he recently
brought about the dismissals OF Iuspecr-
ors Saltonstall. Allen aad Kellt, and
caused the appointment of DR.. Thomas
Byrnes, Paul Decker and Michael Nevln
In their places.
HIS ACTIONS CRITICISED.
This action of the doctor called forth a
great deal of adverse criticism, aud at
the nesting OF the Board OF Health
Monday, Drs. Converse and McNsal Ia
dioatsd their dissatisfaction with these
changes by reinstating Saltoustall and
Allen. 1t Ia believed that DR.. Varick
concluded from the action Of his COLI
leagues that he could not control them
In political deals, and that In the future
he would be in q minority. and that.
therefore he would be better off out of the
board than in it.. Hence his resignation,
HIS PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
A member of the Board of Freeholders
told me this morning that the resignation
of DR.. Varick would be accepted at the
earliest possible aud that in all
probability DR.. James Hoffman of Gro We
street would be appointed his successor.
This, Of course, has not been decided
upon yet, for the Freeholders have not
had time to discuss the resignation of DR..
Variok. Many of the Freeholdsrs will
not know he has resigned until they read
the fact in THE JERSEY CITY NEWS.
The clerks in the Health Office profsssed
to be ignorant Of DR.. Varick's rostgna-
tion aud would not say anything about
it. The resignation was received by the
Board Of Freeholders today.

known the result of an analysis OF a
quantity of German glycerine that was
offered them for sale. the analysis showing
the presence of arsenic. the firm has been
Inundated with letters from friends of

of the arsenic i'll it, and later they learned
that it had been sold in the Midland coun-
ries. 1t is believed by many persons tina
Mr.. James Maybrick, husband of Mrs.
Florence Maybrick. for whose poisoning
the latter is serving a life sentence in the
Woking Prison, purchased and took as
medicine some of thi glycerine containing
arsenic.
The Messrs. Bird state that they d id not
revive the subject of Mr. Maybrick's
death with the view to throwing light
upon the matter. They merely made a
casual reference to his death. They say
that upon reflection they do not think
that Mr.. Maybrick was a confirmed arsenic
eater. and that it is likely that he was
killed by using some of the giycerine res
ferred to.
