DOSE WAS TOO LARGE.
John Campbell Caused His Death by Not
Obeying Instructions.

John Campbell Caused His Death by Not
Obeying Instructions.
John Campbell, Of Mary street, Prov
tdence, died suddenly yesterday after
noon from the effects Of an overdose of
medicine, which had been prescribed to
brace him up after continued drink
Ing spell.
The medicine was prescribed by DR..
Lackey and compounded at Henwoods s
drug store. 1t was composed of NOR
phine, choral and bromide of POTASH
um, and 1t was directed by the doctor
and written on the label of the bottle
that he should take a teaspoonful every
two hours.
Instead Of following the directions he
took nearly two ounces or about six
teaspoonfuls at the first dose.
He remarked to his wife that II q
little of 1t was good. more of it would
be better and following his own tudg-
ment. poured nearly half Of the 4-ounce
vial into glass Of whiskey and gulped
1t down.
He went to his room Immediately
after and an hour later was found dead
by his little daughter, who went up
stairs to ask how he felt.
Coroner Kelley made an Investigation
and impaneled q jury Of A. p. ODon-
nell, John Fitzsimmons, Thomas Dur
kin. John Sullivan, Anthony Neary and
Patrick McNish.
Coroner Kelley secured q copy Of the
prescription and made an examination
Of the medicine ad pronounced them
perfectly proper.
The dose as prescribed would con-
tain one-fourth of grain of morphine,
twenty grains Of bromide, and fifteen
Of chloral. This Is the usual dose, he
said, administered, and Is totally harm
less.
The dose which Campbell took con-
tained about three grains Of morphine,
12O grains Of chloral, and 100 grains Of
bromide, either Of which ingredients
in such quantities would be sufficient
to cause death.
1t was the coroner's opinion that
Campbell died without suffering any
pain.
The jury believed thorough investi-
CATION should be made owing to the
position Of the doctor and druggist in
the case and accordingly adjourned u
meet in DR.. Kelley's office tonight.
Campbell is q middle-aged man, and
leaves family Of five children. +,

pittston and Stone Avenue Arches.
C. E, Chittenden, chairman OF the
streets and bridges committee of select
council, yesterday directed City Engi-
ncer Phillips to investigate and report
the condition of the Pittston and Stone
avenue arch culverts, on the South
Side.
He alleges that they are in a danger
Gus condition and are in need OF I'M
mediate attention. The foundation
was built upon the natural bed OF the
ravine In each instance. and although
neither Of the culverts have been erect
ed over four years, the force OF the
water has dislodged the lower stones
and allowed the arch to settle, causing
1t to crack and some Of the stones to
drop out.
The two culverts In question are the
largest and most expensive the city
has ever built They were erected ac-
cording to the plans and specifications
OF ex-City Engineer Blewitt and the
work was done by Corcoran & Dona-
hoe on Plttston avenue and by Max
Phillips on stone avenue. Large iron
plates bearing this Information are I'm
bedded In the capstones of each cul-
vert.
Mr.. Chittenden, when interviewed re-
garding this affair, said:
1.-THE culverts are liable to come
down, but do not apprehend immedi-
ate danger. do not, however, believe
that they can last more than another
winter. was underneath the Stone
avenue culvert myself, and found that
the foundation stones had been washed

tion Of the city engineer to these cul-
verts In particular, and advised him to
look carefully over all of Them"

Friend Of His Youth.
In september, 1894, Captain Horns
wife died, and among those who at
tended the funeral was Mrs. Matilda
Saussmann, of Wilkes-Barre, a wo-
man of ample proportions. She had
been a warm friend of the captain
when he Was a young gallant and she
sympathi2ed freely with him in the
affliction that had overtaken him.
She rendered such assistance as to
impress the captain with her worth and
he frequently thereafter called on heI
at Wilkes-Rarre to consult about vari-
GUS matters. A marriage was the out
come Of these conferences, the captain
wedding Mrs. Saussmann Feb. IL.
Before the honeymoon was over Mrs
Horn developed bad temper and the

was unable to retain any Of the SER
wants in his employ.

Then, he says. she threatened his life
and ne refused to live any longer with
her. Their separation took place on
April 6. During the time Mrs. Horn
had charge Of his domestic affairs
