TWENTY-FIVE GRAINS.
AMOUNT OF MORPHINE VARNEDoE TOOK
He Refuses to Talk and the Cause of His At- tempt at Suicide Is Un-
 known.

Julian Varnedoe, young man who mas had a room at the Waddell house, First avenue, between Eighteenth and Nine teenth streets. attempted suicide yester- day afternoon by taking morphine. He commenced taking the drug about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and kept it up at intervals until early in the evening, when it began to affect him.
 As soon as the people at the boarding house discovered that something was the matter they sent for Dr. D. F. Taliy, who. as soon as he had examined the patient applied a stomach pump. When Dr. Tally reached him Varnedoe was in a comatose condition and over an hour hard work was required to revive nm and to restore him to full consciousness. About twenty-five grains or morphne were pumped from his stomach-enough to kill two or three men.
 When an Age-Herald reporter called at the Waddell house about midnight Varnedoe was standing up in the middle of the room, and his friends were busy applying wet cloths and doing other things to keep him awake. He would not talk about the matter, but admit ted taking the morphine When asked why he took it he made no answer.
 Varnedoe came here from Atlanta about two weeks ago and took a room at the Waddell house. Since coming here he has had no employment, and so far IS the reporter who called to see him could ascertain he had sought none. He claims it is said, to have been a bartender in Atlanta, and his people live there
 |. Dr. Taley stated to an Age-Heraid re porter, who called him up on the tele- phone, that Varnedoe would recover without much trouble if properly cared for but pneumonia might possibly set

 Admiral Markham spoke in q similar strain.
 Justice Daley of New York acknowl- edged the welcome in behalf or the dele gates, but his voice was hardly audible, owing to the band in the gardens playing while he was speaking. He referred to the strides that have been made in geo graphical knowledge since the days or Prince Henry of Portugal, in connection with whom he introduced graceful com parison with the Duke of York. Despite this advice he added, there is yet ample room for acquiring knowledge, to which he hoped the congress would tend.

 &, president of the Royal Geographical
 society. and the honorary vice-pres dents include thirty-four foreign and colonial amba ssadors, ministers and agents-gen- eral, together with the lord mayor Of London. Practically every civilized country in the world is represented at the l congress. besides which geographical and i scientific societies have universally sent delegates. The preliminary work was carried out by an organizing committee nominated by the council of the Royal 1 Geographical society, with representa- | tves from the Royal Scotch Geographl- ] cal society, the educational department, | the Impedial institute, the Royal Colonial 1 institute and the Society of Arts.
 The deliberations of the congress will | cover the whole range of geographical re- | search, including mathematical, physl- | cal, descriptive, historical, applied, com | mercial and educational geography, | oceanography, cartography and explora- | tion. One of the most generally inter- | esting debates will be that on polar ex- | plora tion, Antarctic by Dr. G. Neumeyer l and Arctic by Adla H. Markham. Herr | s. A. Andree will submit his plan of | reaching the pole in balloon, and Gen. | A w. Greedy will give his opinicn on | the scope and value of Arctic eNplora- | tions.
 | To what extent tropical Africa is suited | for development by white races, or under 1 their superntendence, will constitute an l other very instructive subject to which l many celebrated explorers of the country | will speak. During the session of the | congress there will be many entertain | ments given to the members in the form | of receptions, dinners, parties, etc, and | numerous excursions will be available l to them so that the time will not be l altogether devoted to the business of the l gathering. As an adjunct to the meet | ings a comprehensive geographical ex- | hibition has been opened, containing a | collection of historical maps, represent | ative display of instruments. historical | and modern, portraits and drawings, as well as special exhibits from foreign | geogra phical societies and private per- sons.
 | The Duke of York made short speech, | in the course of which he said he re- garded it as great pleasure to entertain | so many prominent men from other coun- | tries. He thanked them for coming to | the congress and welcomed them heartily.

Sale of Decayed watermelons.

Thirty thousand watermelons in a con dition bordering on rottenness. that had been upward of three weeks in transit from Georgia plantations. were sold yes- terday at the pier of one of the southern steamship lines These melons have been refused by the persons to whom they were consigned for the reason that they were stale" and that there had been an unwarranted delay in their transport The steamship company referred to bought up about 10000 melons. The ma- jority of the consignes refused either to accept the melons or pay the freight. and consequently the company disposed of them for whatever price was offered Inquiries made among the wholesale fruit dealers went to show that this cargo of watermelons, practically all of which was sold to the small dealers for any price they would give, would be a great danger to health If eaten. It is tolerably safe to assume that this unhealthful fruit Is destined for consumption among the poorer classes of New York and the surrounding districts and yet at no time during the sale, so far as could be learn ed, was any officer of the board of health present. At any rate, 1t is certain that if any representative of the board was present no steps were taken either to prevent the sale or condemn the decayed fruit-New York Tribune, July 21.
