DID NOT TAKE LAUDANUM.
4 sensational report spread over the
CITY Yesterday morning that Mrs. f. o..
Moxley. who resides on Fourth street,
had taken laudanum. and that her con-
dition was quite critical. Mrs. Moxley's
family is well known in the riverside
of the city where the lady lives with her
husband and their children, and much
surprise was expressed over the affair.
Later in the day, however Mr.. MoXley'
the lady's husband, stoutly denied that
his wife had taken the drug al all, as did,
also. Mrs. Monkey herself.
Mrs. Moxley has been I'm bad health
for some time. and in fact, has just re-
turned home from a trip, which it was
hoped would benefit her health. She
has been subject. her husband says, TO
violent nervous attacks. He says That
the illness from which she suffered Tues
day night, and which gave the physician
called in to attend her such q hard fight,
was Just another of these violent aer-
vous attacks. An empty bottle labelled
"1audanum" was found in the lady's
room, and this gave rise for the report
that Mrs. Monkey had swallowed its con-
tents. Mrs. Moxley declared that the
drug had been administered to one Of the
children. whose sickness required it as
medicine. She is much better now, and
is entirely out OF danger.

SAYS HE TALKED TOO MUCH
The attention Of Manchester's Police
Court and that of a large audience. was
held yesterday morning in considera-
ton of the case of James NJ. Thomas.
the young white man who on Tuesday
made a proposition TO a citizen of this
city 10 waylay and rob the cashier Of
the Richmond and Manchester Railway
Company. as the man with the money
bag came to the city to make a deposit
of his nickles. The hearing did not con-
sumo as much time. as ii was a plain
case. Mayor Maurice decided that
Thomas should be confined i'm the city jail
twelve months, as he himself afterwards
said, for talking too much.
Thomas is fond of talking Of himself
and claims TO have led a checkered life,
OF which he seems much prouder than
any one else. He said that on one occa-

Kentucky and they had a pitched battle,
