The manner of Injection of the serum
is the same AS that adopted and practiced
at the Pasteur Institute. In fact it Is
known as the Pasteur treatment. About
five cubic centimetres of the serum are
administered at q single dose, one dose
every twenty -four hours being considered

made, he declares, mum erous experiments
in Bogota, which have proved entirely
successful. From these he has been able
to observe the exact progress made I'M

This gradually changes more AID more

There will be no experiments made
with bhe serum in the United States un-

LAY IN A SNOW DRIFT.
A Pneumomonia Patient Took Refuge
from the Flames.

Litchtield, February s0.-A most sin
gular occurrence has taken place in West
Gardiner that luckily enough resulted in
n picturesque incident instead of q fatali-
ty.
Mr.. Sylvester J. Campbell of West Gar
diner is sick with pneumonia. The nurse
bad filed new tick with straw and
placed it above the stove for al" airing. /"
just as the doctor had put his thermom-
eter under the patients tongue, from the
other room came a cry of fire. The
doctor being the only we'll man in the
houss rushed in and pulled the burning
bed off from over the stove and attempted
to pull it through two doors and small
entry out Of doors.
Before this task was accomplished ho
pulled the tick off from large portion
of the burning straw that was left main
ly in the little entry. The doctor lost his
wind and had it not been for Mr.. Fuller
and wife the house must have burned.
AS it was it gave the entry and three
doors quite scorching.
The smoke was driven into the sick
mans room, and to keep from stirling
he dragged himself out of bed and cut of
a window into snowdrift
He took the bed CLOTHES with him and
wrapped himself In them and there re-
manned till the fire was put out and the
smoke cleared away, so that those present
could get him back into his bed.
1t Is hoped that the excitement kept
him from taking cold, though the smoke
brought on severe spasms of coughing.

LYING DEAD.
Mr.. Chapiifswas found by Her Little
Boy.

Near By Lay the Man who Had Killed
Iage.
Falls Village, Ct, February co. A
double tragedy was discovered here early
this morning, and at present it is i'm
possible to arrive Mt any conclusion ex-
cept that it is Gaze of murder and then
suicide. At ia. N. the 10-year-old sou
of Walter Chaplin, the Postmaster, found
the dead body of his mother In the din
ing room of the home. Near by wss lying
the dead body of Charles Mead. the son
of Rev. H. P. Mead. formerly of Falls
Village, but now of Scotland, Conn.
Some distance away WAS a revolver with
several chambers empty.
Mr.. Chaplin, who is the postmaster, by
appointment eff President Cleveland. has,
during his administration of this small
office, confided the business of the office
to his wife, in order that he might at
teno to other business. He has been for
some time the superintendent OF the Fish
Hatchsries in Sheffield, Mass, owned by
Henry Bishop, a we'll known railroad
man. residing in Bridgeport, Conn. His
duties, as superb have rendered
1t necessary for him to spend large
part of his time in Sheffield, aud it WAS
his custom to run to his home in Falls
Village three or four times week. Mr..
Chaplin was not at his house last night,
and Mrs. Chaplin was supposed 10 be
spending the night alone in the house
with her 10-year-old son Joseph Chaplin.
1t was trihe after O'Clock this morn
ing when the boy arose, and, dressing.
made his way to other parts of the
house. Reaching the dining room door,
he sought to open it, but found 1t par
TALLY blocked by weight. The little
| fellow at length succeeded in forcing it
open, to find lying against it on the floor
the body of his mother. He did not wait
to investigate further, but ran to neigh
boris and gave the alarm.
The Chaplin house was soon the scene
of the greatest excitement, and in short
order practically the whole village was
wild at learning of the discoveries.
| At s. 80 an express train rolled in from

| alighted and proceeded to his home,
where he purposed TO spend Sunday. The
| terrible news which was broken to him
by friends, he was utterly unprepared
for, and the man was well-nigh pros
trated.
How young Mead happened to be in the
Chaplin house last night is not known.
He had been frequent caller upon Mrs.
Chapin, who was in the nsighborhooa
of % or 80 years of age.
MIR. Chaplin, the afflicted husband Ie-
fuses absolutely to say anything.
The family of MIS-. Chaplin, who was a
Falls Village girl, are also Frustrated,
and are completely ut a loss to explain
the fearful tragedy.
| Coroner Higgins of Winstead has made
an investigation. He tonight said that
| in his opinion Mead had broken into the
house and attempted to assault Mrs.
| Chaplin but she resisted his attack with
a revolver. 1t is probable that Mead suc-
cesded in wrenohing the weapon from
her andlthen shot her twice killing heg
instantly and then committing suicide.
1t is believed Mead became suddenly in
fatuated with the woman and determined
to make the visit to her home unknown
to her husband.

The fault found is chiefly with the bills
of the commissioner, which are freely
criticized in various quarters. The al
legged excessive charges of the commits
sion are the incentive for the movement
to put the entire management in the
hands of the governor and council.
Friends of the commission say. that a
generous portion of the expense was in

resolve and fight Hamilton's amendment

Quiet has been restored in the town
