Stricken With Apoplexy.

Owen Duffy was stricken with apo
plexy about 10 o'clock last evening at
Mrs. Brothers boarding house, No. 10
Artizan street, while sitting in CONVEX
sation with several of his fellow board
ers. DR.. Ruickoldt was called and or
dered Duffy taken to the hospital after
making an examination of the case.
There seems to be a general paralysis
and the whole system of the patient is
slightly affected. The symptoms were
worse, however. on the right side.
Duffy is about fifty-five years old and
weighs $50 pounds. He is only five feet
eight inches in height. His weight and
short stature will retard his recovery,
but both DR.. Ruickoldt and the physi-
clans at the hospital think that he will
ultimately get around again.
Duffy has been employed by the Con-
solidated road about the round-house
and yard in this city for many years.

Shot Himselftu Her Presence.

Camden, N. J., May 22.-Charles AL
Stratton, well known young man Of
this city. died in the Cooper hospital
to-day from the effects of a pistol
wound in the temple inflicted by him
self last night.
Stratton and Miss Sallie Page were
soon to have been married. They quar-
relied last night in the parlor Of the
Page home. Mrs. Page, her two other
daughters, and two other young men
were in the room at the time.
They were startled when they saw
Stratton jump up from his chair and
tell them that if they did not want to
see him kill himself they had better
leave the room. Mrs. Page ana her
two daughters fed screaming, while
Miss Sallie Page remained with the two
men. Stratton put his hand to his hip
pocket and drew a revolver. He warm
ed them not to go near him, and said
that he had decided to kill himself.
Miss Page and the two men struggled
with Stratton and tried to get the re-
volver from him, but before they could
do so he fired the shot. Stratton fell to
the floor unconscious, and Miss Page
fell beside him, hysterical. Mrs. Pages
scream brought some neighbors, who
summoned an ambulance and Stratton
was removed to the hospital. He did
not recover consciousness, and died
without saying word.
Once before Stratton quarrelled with
his sweetheart and became very de-
spondent He drank a quantity of
laudanum, saying that he could not live
without her, but he was discovered in
time to save his life. Then he and Miss
Page became reconciled, and every
thing went well until last nights dis

Druggist j. w. Collins Dead-Was for
Years Westville's Druggist-Leaves Two
Brothers Here.

Druggist j. w. Collins Dead-Was for
Years Westville's Druggist-Leaves Two
Brothers Here.
DR.. j. w. Collins, for years past the
well known druggist in Stratford, was
found dead in bed yesterday morning
when Mrs. Saunders, his housekeeper,
went to call him. AS far as can be di-
rectly ascertained, says the Bridgeport
Standard. he went directly to his home
Thursday night after leaving the store
about S:15 A few minutes before leav-
ing Mr.. d. p. Rhoades had brought him
large piece of strawberry short cake,
and on receiving this the doctor" re-
marked that he intended to have a
feast before retiring"
He took the cake with him when he
departed. That he had company dur
ing the evening was plainly evident
from the fact that there were two
plates and two knives and forks that
had been used. Nearly all of the cake
had been eaten. much more than one
person would have disposed Of.
After his company had gone no one
will ever know how death came With
the exception of his dog, he occupied
the house alone. When Mrs. Saunders
arrived yesterday morning to do her
usual cleaning she at once, as was her
usual custom, knocked on the druggist S
door. She would have supposed that
he had already risen, had not his door
been locked. After repeatedly knocking
she hastened to the street to find help.
Mrs. It. P. Beardsley, who was passing
at the time, hurried In, forced the door
and found the apothecary lying on the
bed iifeless. The coroner, DR.. w. B.
Coggswell, was at once called. After
an examination he pronounced death
due to apoplexy.
The man had been dead some hours,
probably expiring between the hours
Of 10 p. IN. and midnight. 1t is thought
that he was taken i'll while preparing
for bed. as when found he was only par
TALLY undressed. His brother, who
manages the news stand at the railroad
station, was notified. He and his sister
arrived at 1890 o'clock. The death of
Mr.. Collins will be a great shock to his
many friends. He was one of the best
known and most popular men in STRAIT
ford. He conducted the business about
ten years. his store being the only one
on Main street that has neither changed
its location or it's name for the past
five years.
He was member Of st. Johns lodge,
F. and A. M, Royal Arcanum, Knights
of the Golden Eagle, o. U. A. M. and a
member oe the chapter. He was a
brother os Henry Collins, who kept a
cigar store on Chapel street, New Ha-
ven, which he sold a year ago. He was
also a brother of Joseph Collins, who
conducts the news stand in the New
Haven railroad depot.
The remains will be brought to this
city, where he was born about fifty-five
years ago. At the time of his death
he was a member of the Knights of the
Essenic Order, the 0. y. A M, the Ma
sons and the Royal Arcanum.

Won by a Fair Haven Man.

When the fast PAGER John r. Gentry,
2:03S4 (by Ashland Wilkes). was to be
sold at auction the New York auction
eers, William B. Fasig & Co., offered
fine harness for. the best guess at the
price that the PAGER would be sold for.
Mr.. John Parker of Quinnipiac street,
Fair Haven East. guessed the exact
amount. $500, for which he recently
received a remarkably fine lightweight
harness. The harness, which is valued
at S75, is now on exhibition at the vet

would propose to amend his filled
cheese bill by an internal revenue tax on
iron, steel, lead, zinc, flax hemp, jute
and other articles.
Mr. Gray, DEM, of Delaware, argued
against the bill declaring that if ever
there was necessity for measures to
resume specie payment that necessity
existed to-day. The passage of the BILL
he declared. would bring panic, busi-
ness stagnation, wretchedness and
want.
Mr.. Sherman denounced the bill as
being reputation of the public debt.
He thanked God that the house and the
president stood on the right side. Af-
ter some remarks by Senators Teller,
Butler and Allen the bill went over.

Why Some Animals Lap.

The reason that certain animals lap

of the animals that suck when drink.

should not be delayed by the ingestion
Of large quantities of cold water. BY
tapping the mouth and throat are thor

A Question Answered.

Can the Government refuse TO pay

The trade dollar has been utterly

clared them not TO be legal tender.
The trade dollar is an object lesson in
showing the effect of declaration, by
the Government, making a coin legal
tender. The trade dollar contained
more grains Of pure silver than the
standard silver dollar. IL Is contended
by gold advocates that what gives Il
dollar value Is the material contained
In II, and that the legal tender fea-
ture has nothing TO do with its value,
1t would be interesting to have gold
man explain how IL Is that trade
dollar, with more pure silver In IL
than a standard silver dollar, but not
legal tender, does not circulate at all,
and its value Is simply the value OF so
much silver bullion, while the stand
ard silver dollar containing less grains
OF pure silver than the trade dollar,
hut declared by the Government to be
fnll and unlimited legal tender, circu-
lates, not at It's bullion value, which
they claim TO be about SO cents, but
Mt It's nominal value, viz: 100 cents.
The history OF the trade dollar is an
unanswerable argument TO show that
what gives value to money is its legal
tender quality taken in connection
with its volumn. AS long as the trade
dollar was legal tender TO the extent
OF So IL circulated side by side with
the standard silver dollar and with
gold money.
