A Victim of Ciuarettes.

A young man whom the Emergency
physicians say is victim of excessive
cigarette smoking was taken to the hos
pital last night in such an awful condi-
ton of hysterla and commissions that it
took four men to hold his slight frame
on the table while treatment was being
administered. Patrick Mahoney is the
youths name, and he lives at 1908 Purs
street, Washington. 4 call for the
Sixth Precinct patrol wagon took the
officers to Mahoney's house about Z
o'clock last night, where they found the
young man in convulsions, and carried
him to the hospital. The unfortunate
youth has an almost insane craving for
cigarettes and is said to have smoked
them constantly during his waking
hours for months. His condition is
quite serious, as the poison of the nico-
tine has permeated his whole SYSTEM

AFTER A MURDERER.

On Monday there arrived in our city
four gentlemen from Harrisburg, Pa.
One was Hon. Meade D. Detwieler the
city attorney, two were eminent physi
Clans of that city, Drs. H. Hamilton and
G. E Bill and the other was Mr.. James
d Hawkins who is one of the county
commissioners of Dauphin Count the
county in which Harrisburg is situated.
He is also large undertaken of that
city. The object of their visit is to ex-
hume the body of Mrs. Julia Smith,
coIored, which was shipped here from
Harrisburg some time ago for burial.
and was buried in the colored cemetery
near this city. The necessity for this is
that it is believed Julia Smith was mur-
dered by poison administered by her
husband Albert Smith. She was Julia
Payne before her marriage to Albert,
and both are from this city. They were
married only last spring and went to
Harrisburg. Some time afterward an
intimacy sprang up between Albert
Smith and a married woman named
Winston. Winston the husband of this
woman died under suspicious circum
stances, and pretty soon Julia the wife
OF Albert Smith died under pecu
liar circumstances, and her body
was sent here for burial. Suspi
cion being aroused the Winston
woman was arrested, a post morten
examination was held, poison found,
to have been the cause of the
mans DEATH and she, the Winston WON
an, las been tired and found guilty of
murder in the second degree and is now
in jail awaiting sentence. Smith was
then arrested and is now in jail await
ing trial for poisoning his wife Julia,
the claim being that Winston poisoned
her husband to marry Smith, and he
his wife to marry the Winston woman.
These gentlemen are here, as well to
look at and identify the coffin and body
as to exhume and take to Harrison
burg ruch portions of the body of Julia
as will enable an analysis to be made,
in order to determine whether she died
by poison. Some of these gentlemen
were here last week, but Mr.. Gordon,
our prosecuting attorney, desiring that
they show more fully their authority, |
they returned to Harrisburg to have
certain papers better authenticated. |
They will have the body eXhumed to- |
day.
The parents of Julia Smith live on
Sunnyside street, and both she and her
husband, Albert, were well known here.

seems strange to me that fellows who

| when they want to SANDER and villify
gentlemen. | am all the more surprised
that you should have republished this
SANDER in your paper, in view of the
fact, that is my speech before the con-
vention which nominated me, boldly
declared that the offices of this country
could not be appor toned on color, OF
race lines, and no colored man had the
right to claim an Office on such ground.
Respectfully.
ROBERT T HUBBARD.
We gladly give place to the above
letter from Col. R. L. Hubbard. He is
after the wrong party however. He
must look to the Nelson County Times
whose article We copied and not to us.
All he acuses US of saying was Col.
Hubbard doubtless promised Ceaser Per-
kins something, it may have been a
postoffice or it may not" Now if in a
heated political campaign Col. Hnbard
has no more than this to complain of
against the only Democratic daily in
the district he certainly must be seeking
quarrel. We tried to .reat that gen.
tleman with the utmost fairness, and if
his only complaint rests in the above,
we think we have done so. Without
desiring to be discourteous, we have
no apologies to make for our course,
nor anything we have said. After the
of defeat wears away we
doubt whether Col. Hubbard would have
written this letter. We are surprised
that he wrote it even now.
