DEATH OF MAJOR EXCEL.
An Old and Esteemed Citizen Passes
 Away.

An Old and Esteemed Citizen Passes Away.
 In the death of Major Carl G. Engel, which occurred ct his residence, 81 George street, early yesterday morning, New Ha- ven has lost one of its well known resi- dents and sx-military officers. He died of heart ailment with which he had long been troubled.
 Major Engsl was a resident of this eity for nearly forty years and was a native of Berlin, born in 1894. Hs served in the German army for three years and was in the famous battle of Schleiswieh- Hotzsten between Germany and Austria. His service in the revolution of 1s4s was an interest ing epoch in his life, and he carried his fondnees for military pursuits with him when he emigrsted to this country in 1S56 He landed in New York and came at once to this city, where he found employment with the late Louis Feldmsn, being for years the lstter's chief assistant when he did business on State street near where the old Quinnipiao bank wss. Major Engel afterward carried on c merchant tailoring years on Church street. His last place of business was under the Elliott house.
 In 1866 MT. Engel took command of the City Guard and remained its captain for several years, when he resigned. In 1879 he took command of the company which was reorganized at that time and remained captain for seven years. The line officers of the Second regiment then elected him major, which office he held for several yesrs. He was very efficient and popu- lar officer.
 He served the city e police commis- sionsr in '75 and '7e, and was slated st one time for chief of police but did not care for the position. He also ran for represents- tive on the democratic ticket years ago. The decessed was of refined nature, ,a we'll read man, kind and loyal to friends; and devoted husband and father. His death will be sincerely mourned.
 The deceased leaves widow and two daughters, Miss Martha Engsl and Mre. William Blain, and four sons, Gus v., Adolph A., Albert H., and William F. The funeral will take place to-morrsw afternoon at o'clock. It is probabls that the New Haven City Gpard, both veteran and active, the Aurora cncampment, the German lodge and the uniform degree of Odd Fellows will send delegations to the funeral.

PROF. TYNDALL's EXPERIENCES.
Many Years Ago He Was in Serious Peril
From a Deadly Drug.

About twenty years ago Prof, Tyn-
dali, in lecture before a class, called
attention to the lack of necessary tech
nical knowledge manifested by many
practicing pharmacists. 81 went into
a chemist S shop in certain town, ~
said the professor, land asked for
muriatic acid, hoping l could have it in
a glass-stoppered bottle. The chemist
found one, having poured one of his
own preparations out of it, and was
about to pour in acid, but it was not
the acid | wanted; so | repeated
'muriatic acid for the benefit of his
professional sense, adding spirits of
salts on the chance of his being more
familiar with the popular name of the
acid. The druggist, however, insisted
that he had the right acid; and when l
pointed out that he was giving me
nitric acid instead, he got out a 'Phar-
macop9ia' and turned over the pages,
pronouncing the Latin names and
synonyms with great huency in the
endeavor to prove himself right. l was
really ashamed to contradict the
doctor, who was so serene in his self
confidence, but finally convinced him
of his error and secured the acid |
wanted. On another occasion l took
physicians prescription calling for
preparation containing morphine to
druggists to be filled. | happened to
read the prescription myself before
handing it to the clerk and noticed
that the directions for taking read:
'Quarta quaque bora sumendum Ito be
taNen every fourth hour. When the
bottle came home the label read To be
taken every quarter of an hour which
would have given me exactly sixteen
times the prescribed quantity, and l
need not tell you, young gentlemen,
that if had not read that prescription
l should not be here talking to you
now" 1t is a singular and sad coinci-
dence that the professor lost his life
through just such ignorant handling
of drugs as he had severely condemned.
