and Mary Troy.

ana Mnry Troy.
NoRwALK, Conn.,. Oct. 23.-Physicians who
have the case of Jennie Iiinsclla in charge fear
that she will not live until morning. The man
who threw vitriol on her and on Mary Troy
last Thursday night on their way home from
work has been arrested. His name is Owen Muir.
ply He intended the vitriol for another girl.
Miss Kinsella has been sinking rapidly all the
afternoon. Mary Troy had II relapse this after,
noon, and she is very sick. One eye has prob.
ably lost its sight. Cobblc Hill, where the girls
live. is so aroused over the affair that this even
ing Mayor Wheeler and Chief OF Police Brad.
ley, fearing for the safety of Murphy, spirited
him Off to Bridgeport. IL became noiscd about
that this action was to be taken. and just he
fore the start a tremendous crowd surrounded
the lookup. Murphy was under guard Of q
dozen policemen.
Murphy submitted to arrest last night.
Don't tear me. TO pieces" was what he,said when
captured in an Clubhouse in the rear OF his resi-.
dencr, which is across the road from Miss Kin.
sella's home. He had "A 44.calibre revolver and
q boy Of cartridges with him, Murphy said he
bought them in Port Chester. intending to shoot
Mamie McCrync, the girl who had j ted him. he
says. and then kill himself, Miss McCrync
broke off her engagement with him because of
conduct of which she did not approve. She
told Murphy then that they must part, and tho
two have met as strangers since. Il was for
her that the vitriol was intended. Because OF
the darkness she escaped. while Jennie, against
whom he had no grievance, received the acid OH
her face and chest.
Most of the girls whose homes are on Cobble
Hill work in tho Norwalk Mills at Winnipauk.
Miss McCryne, after two years Of regular en-;
gloyrnent there, had not missed II day until
Thursday, Thus she escaped Murphy, who lay
in wait for her to pass. After throwing the
vitriol Murphy fed. An of Yesterday, the coun.
try was secured for him. AT IL o'clock last
night Chief Nollmcr and Policeman Pcnning-
ION OF South Norwalk and Chief Bradley and Po-
licemcn Hunt and Morehouse of Norwnlk sur.
rounded Murphy's house. Mrs. Murphy and
daughter were called to the door. They pro-
tested that they knew nothing of Owens arriv-
al, and a search OF the house showed that they
were truthful. While the search was being
made Hcnncsscy noticed that the door OF an
clubhouse was ajar. Murphy was found there
and made no resistance.
Murphy was visited in Jail to-day by his half
brother. John Mccullough.
Where were you all day yesterday, Ow-
neyi' asked John.
oh. | was in Europe" was the reply.
Come, now, tell me where you were"
Oh, don't bother me- was tho answer, and
the, prisoner rolled over on his narrow cot
and turned his back. Stains from the vitriol are
visible on Murphy's clothes.

The Perils of Posters.

An eminent scientist has been telling
the sanitary congress that sensational the
atrical posters are highly detrimental to
the moral health of the community. 1t
seems that they induce initiative actions
The argument appears to be that man
sees ON the wall a pictorial representation
of murder scene in thrilling melodrama
and rushes home to cut his wife's throat
or throw her out of the window On the
same principle, suppose, when he sees a
picture of an OK in a teacup, he will hasten
to the nearest public house and endeavor
to discover a man in quart pot. We shall
be told next that the pictures of fat babies
which advertise various infants foods are
responsible for the alarming increase of
the population, and know not what be-
sides. 1t may be so, but would suggest
a little healthy skepticism until some
definite evidence is forthcoming of this
new danger. 1t Is not so very long since
some enthusiasts on the county council
got up a crusade against street posters on
moral grounds, and the result was hardly
encouraging. In spite of moralists and
aesthetics there is probably more good than
evil on the street boardings. -London

The Stomach.

There is wonderful sympathy between
the stomach and all other parts of the
body, but that between the stomach and
the brain is SO active and perfect that the
most skilled physician is often greatly
puzzled in trying to decide when one Is i'll
whether the brain or stomach is really to
blame Nothing is more common for ex-
ample than to meet long standing case
of dyspepsia in which the prominent and
almost the only symptom Is dull and
fretting headache. While persons have
suffered for many years from what they
believed to be II grave organic disease of
the stomach and were themselves fully
convinced that cancer at least was the
cause of their suffering, it turned out that
when a postmortem examination was made
that healthier stomach than the average
was found, but there were evidences of
long standing and serious disease of the
brain. In fact, sick headache is the result
of eating too much and exercising too lit
tie. In the majority of cases its cause lies
i'm the fact that the food last taken is so
rich in quality or so excessive in quantity
that the stomach cannot digest it.
A simple diet on grains and ripe fruit,
with sufficient exercise in the open air to
keep up gentle pcrspiration, would
speedily effect a cure With some persons
this headache comes on at regular inter
walls and is the stomach's signal of dis

times give relief, or a tablespoonful of lem
