PROF. TYNDALL;s DEATH
The ChloraI Which KilIsd Him A miuistcred by His Wife 1hrous gGf

S The ChIoraI Which KnIrd Him Ad-
 Mistake.
 The melancholy circumstances attend ing the death of Professor Tyndall were, as cab!ed from London yesterday, as fol- lowe: "A dispatch from Hsslemere to-day says that the inquest upon the body of the late Professor Tynds'l revealed that the overdose of ehlorsl which caused his death was accidentally administered to him by his wife in mistake for sulphate of mag nesia. A vardict to tbat effect was ren- dered.
 Mrs. Tyrd.u gave eviderce at the in- quest to the effect that her husband had been wrestling with death for three years, and that he took small dose of chlorsl every night ca alternate mornings he took dose of sulph hate of msgnesis. Two labelled bottles, one containing the chlorsl and the other containing the msgnesia, were kept, side by eide, in his bedroom.
 On Monday Mrs Tyndall ssid she gave the professor what che believed to be 8 dose of sulphate of msgnesia and he after wards drank little ginger ale, remarking that the msgnesia had a singularly sweet taste. The witness then tasted the few drops remaining in the glass and found that it was chloral. Mortified and alarmed, the witness then looked at the bottles and found that she had taken up and used 6 fresh bottle of chlorsl instead of the bottle of megneda which stood behind the bottles of chloral. She therefore knew that she had given her husband two tablespoonfuls of chloral. Continuing, she said:
 II exclaimed, John, l have given you chlorsl.' He replied, My poor darling, you have killed your husband.'"
 Mrs. Tyndall after giving this evidence broke down completely and sobbed. When she was able to continue she said that her husband, after uttering the words men, tioned, jumped out ot bed, and she ran for assistance and fetched an emetic which was administered to him. Everything possible was done by physicians who were hastily summoned, but the professor died the same evening.
 Dr. Buzzard, one of the physicians in st- tendance upon the professor, testified to the fact that when he was summoned to the sufferers bedside, he found Professor Tyn- dall In 8 moribund condition. The pro- lessor, he added, had been tolerably strong and would have recovered from his sick ness had 1t not been for the overdose of chloral. He was perfectly satisfied that the overdose of chlorsl was administered through sn accident"

Tax Payers Ind1Snants WILL PROBABLY RESIST PAYMENT OF THE
 MONEY,

MONEY.
 DANBURY, Dec. Tt is probable that the taxpayers here will stoutly resist the payment of the appropriation of 5O,O0C that was voted for the assistance of the strikers ct the town meeting this after noon. The selectmen seem to be in doubt as to whether the money should be paid to the matters and this evening Attorney Scott, the town counsel, was consulted by the selectmen in reference to the matter. The selectmsn find themselves in peculiar position since the appropriation was voted and they are of the opinion that the money should not be paid to the locked out men. The appropriation was voted by the work ing men themselves, 1t Is claimed, and the taxpayers were very much opposed to the passing of the appropriation.
 This evening several members of the hatters' union called on the selectmen and stated that the appropriation which was voted at the town meeting was needed immediately by the locked out meo, whose families were at the present time in great need. The selectmen did not decide when they should act. The taxpayers are very indignant over the result of the town meeting, and they will take steps to pre- vent the payment of the $50 900 to the hatters, and they will ask the courts for an injunction to restrain the selectmen from paying the money to the hatters. Meetings were held this evening by the hatters, and at which the best means to secure the money immediately was considered.
