SWALLOWED COLD POISON.
Henry NeuhauS' Attempt Yesterday to
End His Life.
Trouble With His Wife the Cause
The Doctors Pull Him
Through.

Shortly before noon yesterday Henry
Neuhaus, who has for many years been
in the employ of Hall, Luhrs & Co., at
tempted to commit suicide by swallow
ing a large dose of chloroform.
The domestic life of Neuhaus has not
been pleasant for a number of years.
AT one time he and his wife were dl-
vorced but afterward remarried, but
the night before Neuhaus made the at
tempt on his life his wife once more left
him.
This apparently filled Neuhaus' cup
too full, and while he went to work
yesterday morning as usual, it was no
ticed that he was very quiet, and about
IL o'clock he started for his home at
1905 K street. On the way thither he
purchased three ounces of chloroform,
which he swallowed before he reached
home.
On his arrival, 3. B. Brown, at whose
house he lived noticed that everything
was not right, and asked Neuhaus if
he had taken anything. Neuhaus re-
piled that he had swallowed the chic
roform, and almost Immediately went
into one of the soundest sleeps of his
life
Mr.. Brown at once sent for medical
aid, and Drs. Glow, Tyrrell and H L.
Nichols were soon on hand doing all
in their power to revive the sleeping
man. For seven hours their efforts ap-
peared to be at fault, but at length,
about o'clock last evening, Neuhaus
showed signs of awakening, and a few
moments later was able to recognize his
friends, who had gathered around. For
all that he had been so near to death,
he seemed to have recovered his usual
good spirits, and chatted and laughed,
but sturdily refused to tell anything
about the attempted suicide, saying
that that was his business.
Neuhaus, before he went to work yes
terday morning, gave Mrs. Brown a
note for his wife, which probably con-
tanned reasons for his rash act, but it
was returned to him after his recov-
cry.
Neuhaus is of German birth and
about 33 years old. While he was prac-
tically out of danger last night, he
complained of severe cramps in his
stomach, the result of the poison swal-
lowed.

The bo1ters from the National Pa-

themselves with some other peo-

not much longer exist free and t,de-

noblest sense of the term If the Tinted
States, a debtor nation. shall follow q
policy dictated by creditor nations. :"

that the people generally have had no

been plotting to prevent us existing free

York Post" puts it, with any nation
that denied our free and Independents
character. then we might be said to ex-
list free and independent against such
nation But since the great day when
we succeeded in establishing our inde-
pendence, no nation on the face of Gods
footstool has ever whispered a protest
or doubt of our freedom and independ-
ence Now, about the United States be-

confusion of ideas. A debtor as rule

West than in New England, and he had
more than any other candidate in each
of the five sections of the country. On
the Democratic side Boies led in the

protection as advocated by the McKin-

protection there were 3,56S for to 1872

TO BEAUTIFY HONOLULU
Is What the New LiIiha Street Adj
ditiOn Will Do.
Wide Roads surrounding a Park En-
trancing Scenery from a High Ele-
vatfon-Lots at a Bargain.

On Wednesday next ]. F. Morgan
will sell at public auction a large tract
of land, located at the junction of Lii
Iiha and School streets, divided into
lots ranging from 5Ox100 to 150x2OO
In a conversation with Mr. Morgan yes
terday he stated that "a deed has been
given the Government for land for a
fifty-foot street which will extend right
through the tract, and the Government
will begin work on it Immediately and
macadamize the entire street. Honolulu
has peculiar advantages as a city of
homes. but the further you get away
from the low lands where there are
no sewers and everything is fiat, the
better for your health and your fami-
Iy's. The nearest you can get around
Honolulu to the glorious climate Of
California is on Nuuanu above Judd
street. This new tract, then, is the ideal
spot for a home.
The lower boundary of the tract is
WyIlie street. Anyone who has been to
the Pail remembers the beautiful view
of the city and harbor from that point.
Then on three sides are the lofty noun
tain peaks which add to the grandeur
of the scene. Along Wyllie street the
Government water main has already
been laid. and will be extended as soon
as the other streets are opened through
the tract.
I'm the center of the addition one
large block bounded by three streets
will be set aside for a beautiful park.
The roads will each be fifty feet wide
and will be as perfect in character as
any in the city.
Among those who have already Sc
cured residence sites are President
Dole, w. r. Castle and F. S. Dodge.
John Ena has secured "a acres, because
he knows a good thing when he sees it.
These gentlemen will build on their
property and add largely to the value
of that neighbOring to it.
Asked if the conveniences for getting
to the tract were good, Mr.. Morgan re-
piled:
mot as easy as on King street, but
it will be more so than at Waikiki when
the electric railway is built; and this
place, by the way, shows the proposed
line running through it. And the cleo
trio line is much nearer completion
than you imagine. On Sunday l will
run free buses from town to the plat,
so people may see what they are miss
ing if they don't get in and buy.
"One other favorable thing for peo-
pie living up there is the continued
do dc
THE terms of purchase. you under
stand, are so liberal that any one who
wants may buy. Just fancy buying lot
like these and paying but $40 or $25
cash and $3.50 or So per month. The
last payment is made, and this, too,
interest Just listen to that
statement-no interest on money paid
out to help you and other people to own
your homes"
