He Was Poisoned.

The dying declaration of Edward Irving
Darling, the composer. was filed with the
other documents in the district attorneys
office in New York, n the case in which
Mrs. Flora Adams Darling, mother of Ed
ward Irving Darling, accuses Dr. Spranger
of having poisoned her son. Soon after the
death of Darling DR.. Spranger married his
widow. They are now in California
The affidavit made by Edward Irving
Darling. was written partly by himself in
the presence of witnesses a few hours be-
fore his death. In the statement he re-
cites infinitely the circumstances of his ILL
ness and accuses his wife and DR.. Spranger
of poisoning him.
John Quincy Adams. the brother OF Mrs.
Flora Adams Darling, said that the declara-
ton of Darling had been placed in tho
hands of Assistant District Attorney Bat
tie. He also said that under the direc-
ton of the district attorneys office analy-
ses were being made of medicines taken

TWO PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Inmates of St. Elizabeth Walk Away
From the Grounds.


From the Grounds.
Mrs. Virginia NJ. Lount who several
months ago achieved considerable notoriety
in Washington, New York and Baltimore
by her persistent attempts to foist ner
writings upon newspaper editors. yesterday
escaped from ST. Elizabeth's Asylum, where
she was sent some time ago for treatment
for insanity. Mrs. Lount has been in a
weak physical condition for several weeks.
and she was accorded the privilege of walk
ing unattended in the grounds of the insti-
tuition between the outer gate and the ad-
ministration building, distance Of prob
ably half mile There were a number Of
visitors at the asylum yesterday. and it IS
suaded by some of them to accompany
them to the city or was seized with a sud
den impulse in that direction and did so.
The unfortunate woman was sent to st.
EiiZabeth's Asylum from Garfield Hospital
last September, to which she had been sent
some time before. While there she wrote
pathetic story which was, however,
somewhat rambling, of her life, and one
day, while unobserved by her attendant,
made her escape. 1t was this story which
she tried to get in the newspapers of the
three cities above named, but failed to do
so to the extent she desired. She then de-
cided to reside in Washington, but soon had
a difficulty with her landlord, and returned
to Garfield Hospital There her dementia
soon became so strongly developed that 1t
was considered advisable to send her to st.
Elizabeth's Asylum.
Mrs. Lount is well connected. and was
herself finely educated. She usually dresses
well, and on most subjects is a fluent con-
versa tionaliSt. She styles herself "a priS-
oner of poverty" The police have been re-
quested to keep sharp lookout for the I'M
fortunate WON an, and she will probably be
arrested within a day or two.
Thomas Nash, who has been at the asy-
lum for a number of years. escaped from
there on Saturday. He is supposed to be in
the city with friends. who will probably
harbor him until his presence becomes
wearisome, when, it is likely, he will be re-
turned to the institution,

Ex-Prcsident Seelyc Dead,

The long-expected death of ex-President
Seelye of Amherst College occurred at his
home, Amherst, Mass, last evening. of
palsy. He had been Ill over year.
In the early years of his presidency he
started the Amherst system of self-govern-
ment, by which the students had a large
share in maintaining discipline, and which
has been productive of good results. In ac-
cordance with the Amherst system the stu
dents were represented by a senate, COM
posed of senators elected by each class,
and much of the discipline of the college
was left in their hands. Other colleges
have adopted the Amherst system of self
government, with good results.

NEARLY A TRAGEDY.
Another Grade Crossing Accident Add
ed to the List.

There came near being a tragedy enacted
on one of the nurderous steam railroad
grade crossings this morning about 6
o'clock when, it is claimed, there was no
gateman to do his duty in the direction OF
protecting life and limb. The affair hap
pened at the 1872 street crossing OF the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad, the VIC
tim being Thornton Green, a colOred driver
of one Of the Home Ice Company's wagons.
Green, who is about forty years old, lives
in Springmanns alley, and this morning
before the break of day he was at the
wharf loading his wagon, preparatory to
entering upon his route through the city.
When this work had been finished he left
the wharf and drove up 1875 street. He did
not hear a moving train, nor did he receive
any warning until the train was almost
upon him, and then. he says, some enc
gave a whoop. When he heard this he
whipped up his horses, but his wagon was
unable to clear the track before the en-
CINE drawing freight train struck ii.
Fortunately for the dumb animals, they
had cleared the track, and were rot in
jured, but the driver was thrown from his
seat and severely injured, well as having
teen badly frightened. The wagon was
demolished.
AS soon as the affair happened the train
after the injured man until the arrival of
the Emergency Hospital ambulance in
charge of DIR. Shortlidse.
The doctor put the injured man in the
ambulance and soon had him in the hos
pital
the man had sustained several cuts and
bruises about the face and body, and, al
though his injuries are serious and painful
the doctor thinks he will recover.

The will of David Wolfe Bruce, a cousin
of Catherine Lorillard Wolfe, who was one
of the wealthiest women in America, was
filed for probate May 2. Mr.. Bruce left Q
large estate. The surprise of the matter
is the discovery that Mr.. Bruce left a
widow, whose whereabouts are unknown
The filing of the Will and its probate would
have passed unnoticed had 1t not been for
the fact that the counsel for the Bruce
family. Dewitt, Lockman & Dewitt, issued
a citation to Catherine A. Bruce, widow
Of David Wolfe Bruce" Those who knew
Mr.. Bruce almost without exception sup
posed him to be an unmarried man.
