ACCIDENTALLY POISONED.
Mrs. Fannie NJ. Weller Took an Over
dose of Medicine Which Con-
tanned Morphine

Mrs. Fannie NJ. Weller died at her rest
dence, 2020 Green street, yesterday from an
overdose of morphine accidentally taken.
She had been troubled with insomnia for a
long time and was under the care of DR..
Jules Simon. He gave her a prescription
containing opium to produce sleep. She
took double dose and when discovered
was unconscious. DR.. Simon was sum-
moned and worked over her for several
hours, but without avail.
Early on Thursday evening Mrs. Weller
took the fatal dose and lay down on the
lounge with book in her hand. Her in
tention was evidently to read until she fell
asleep. At midnight her husband awoke
and found her on the lounge unconscious
and the book still grasped in her hand
Deputy Coroner Mccormick investigated
the case and is satisfied that the death was
accidental. so no inquest will be held. Mrs.
Weller was the wife of Herbert B. Weller,
one OF the proprietors of the Golden Gate
stables on Golden Gate avenue.

WANTS A REHEARING
A Little More Light on Jere
Lynch's 1000 Shares
of Stock.
A SMILE IN BLACK AND WHITE.
How the Superior Court Decision
Affects the Ex-Presidento of the
Hale g. Norcross.

The story published in THE CALL yester-
day regarding the purpose of Jere Lynch
in securing 1000 shares of Hale & Norcross
stock caused considerable comment around
Pine street. Those who knew intimated
that the Senator's burst of AUTHORIZATION
was a recent development, and an inter
view held subsequently with H. NJ. Levy,
one of the defendants in the celebrated
case somewhat confirmed these rumors.
It appears that Senator Lynch purchased
the stock some time ago, and did so for the
purpose of specializing on the verdict be-
lieWing that the decision would be for the

the Labor Exchange and requested leave
to look over the file of applications, stating
that he was in search of brother who had
left home some months ago. incidentally
the stranger remarked thai. he had visited
the hospitals, the County Jail and other
pu bile places, but up to that time had
failed to find any trace of him.
After a few moments search of the
records he came to the name of w. H.

Further than this incident nothing out

SWEEPERS MUST Go.
They Cannot Be Paid Until After the
Next Tax Levy Is Made in
September.

September.
It is not probable that the present
method of sweeping the streets will con-
tinue long in vogue, for under the existing
financial stringency the Auditor has re-
fused to sign demands upon the fund for
more than $1,000 a month, as was provided
in the tax levy of last year. 1t is well
known that street-sweeping by hand costs
much more than by the old way, when the
$50, 900 year was appropriated, and so the
Superintendent of Streets cannot keep his
force at work.
On Tuesday last eighty men were put to
work. and since then hundreds of applica-
tons for work have been coming in every
day, but even when the demands of the
men are presented they will not be paid
before next November and the extent to
which the demands will be audited is ex-
tremely meager.
eve will have to take off some of the
men," said Chief Deputy Donovan of the
Street Department yesterday. "We can
not pay thosefwe have, and of course we
cannot expect them to work for nothing"
Auditor Brederick's action is not alone
confined to the Street Department, but is
applied to every City Office. He says until
the tax levy is made next month he must
be guided by the levy of last year.

gesticulating with it reiterated that he
had never thrown away scent piece in
his life and was a very cautious man In
money matters, no matter whom the money
belonged to.
what do you think about those 1000
shares of stock purchased by Mr.. Lynch 2"
"Ah," exclaimed Mr.. Levy, that's a
good one on Lynch. You know Jere
bought those shares of stock several months
ago because he thought the decision would
be for 1000, 900, and if it had been that
wav that stock would have been worth
seven or eight dollars a share. Jere's a
good fellow and friend of mine, and I
suppose he wanted to get in like the rest of
them. Well, what of it? Perhaps there
were some others who tried the same
thing Anyhow" unused Mr.. Levy, sit
don't go quite that high, does it?"
How did it come to be dated the eth of
August?"
''Oh, Jere was cunning enough to have
it in some other fellows name before. You
needn't worry about Jere. He has had
that stock some time and hoped to make
some money out OF it. l don't know
whether he will or not"
Mr.. Levy unused little more and again
repeated that he was at a loss to under
stand the readiness with which the Su-
preme Court allowed itself to be deceived.
He soliloquized on the great mistake which
the people were making in this case, and
only answered when an inquiry was made
regarding the Importance of MIR. Lynch s
movement in having those 1000 shares of
stock put in his own name on the 7th.
That's So" he said, II never thought
of that wonder what he did it for2"
'Do you suppose it was to bring the
matter before the Grand Jury as one of the
stockholders"
Mr.. Levy scratched his chin and leaned
up against the door-jamb of the Nevada
block entrance. II don't know about that
l am very friendly with Jere. / don't sup
pose he would do thing like that. 1t
don't really make any difference, anyhow.

JACKSON'S SUCCESSOR.
Associate Justice Field Says 1t Is a
Difficult Thing to Name
the Man.

Associate Justice Stephen J. Field in
speaking of the successor of the late Justice
Jackson of the Supreme Court of the
United States said:
"Of the four gentlemen spoken of-Post-
master-General Wilson, Senator Lindsay
of Kentucky, Don M. Dickinson of Michi-
gan. and Secretary Carlisle-it is very diff
cult for me to select the one who will re-
celve the appointment. If Carlisle accepts
he will have to give up his Presidential as
pirations, and of the other three Lindsay is
far the more efficient jurist, although ali of
them are capable men and would be a
credit to the United States and themselves
Don M. Dickinson is warm personal friend
OF the President and so is Wilson You
will see, therefore, that under the present
circumstances it would be difficult matter
to name the man. Any one would be
good, but | would not be surprised to see
either Dickinson or Lindsay receive the ap-
polntment, although | would not care to
venture that as anything other than a mere
personal opinion. There is no indication
just who will be appointed because of the
fact that all four are able and worthy, and
would be cautious about attempting to
pick the one myself"
when will the appointment take
placer"

session called to confirm the Presidents

tlrmed. Besides there are great many

court and it is necessary that there be full
attendance. There are some important
cases coming up from California, notably

Starts Out.

John Bergin, apparently an all-round
tough character, was arrested last evening
by officer Galloway on charge of grand
larceny. He stole the horse and wagon of
George Murphy, peddler, living at 739
Howard street. After appropriating the
horse and wagon to his own use Bergin
drove to the water front and stole fifteen
sacks of potatoes that had just been I'M

secured another conveyance and had dis
posed of two sacks of the potatoes. The
rest and Murphy's horse and wagon were

fate was known. When he returned to the

SWITCHES SHOULD BE RETAINED.
The Attorneys Opinion Us to the Me-

The Attorneys Opinion Us to the Me-
trOpOlffan Railway Company.
The attorney for the District today rem
dered an opinion to the Commissioners upon
the question as to whether or not the Me-
tropolitan Railroad Company should be re-
quired, in changing its motive power as re-
quired by law, to put in switch at 9th and
b streets for the accommodation of the
Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad
Company.
The question, he says, would seem to be
not whether the Metropolitan company
should put in switch, but rather whether
it can permanently displace the existing
switches at that point laid pursuant to an
act of Congress, approved August 1, 1855,
for the accommodation of the Anaoostia
company. He says there is nothing in the
act of Congress approved August 2, 1894,
authorizing the Metropolitan company to
change its motive power which would JUS
tify 1T in abolishing existing switches at
9th and streets or curtailing the exist
ing rights Of the Anacostia company in the
trackage rights Of the Metropolitan COM
pany.
He is of the opinion that in approving the
plan of the Metropolitan company for a
change Of its motive power from horse to
electric the switches at 9th and B streets,
for the Anacostia company, should be re-
tanned.
