Sullivan Took Too Much
Poison for His Purpose.

Peter Sullivan of Nashua, N. H., the
man who took laudanum with suicidal
intent in room at the Lincoln house,
Tuesday night, will recover Doctors
at the city hospital worked over him
constantly from the time of his admis-
sion to the hospital until about S
o'clock yesterday morning. when the
sick man showed signs of returning
consciousness.
sullivan told the doctors that he had
been drinking heavily of late, and in
addition to liquor has taken tincture of
opium in small quantities. He had a
good position at one time and had
plenty OF money. but of late has be-
come discouraged and concluded to end
it all by taking poison. He is sorry now
that he took the stuff and says he is
going to make an attempt TO do better
in the future.
Sullivau's brother came TO Worcester
from Nashua yesterday. and made ar
rangements to take his brother home
as soon as he is able to leave the hos
ptal. He denies the story that there is
woman at the bottom of tine affair,
but is unable to give any other reason
for the act further than the one stated
by his brother.
II was learned yesterday that Sulli-
van hOAANl the tauuanunl At bulillS-
toms drug store. One of the clerks re-
membercd making the sale, and said
that man who gave the name of
Pete sullivan, and said he belonged
in Lowell. came into the store about Z
o'clock. rs near as he could remember,
and purchased two ounces II laudanum
saying he wished 10 use il in medicine
which he was mixing Cor his horse.
Nothing more was thought Of the mat
ter as such sales are freQueunt, until
the suicide and the investiga zion on the
part Of a Spy man developed the fact.
J. Frank Norman. whose card was
found in Sullivan's possession, is a tun-
err at SteinertS piano rooms, He re-
members meeting sullivan at the Mon
son house in MonsoU. where the latter
was employed as clerk Mr.. Norman
was in Monson on business. and their
acquaintance was casual He Consid
cred sullivan a pleasant man TO meet,
and not of the disposition calculated to
end his existence in the manner at
tempted.
One of the principal reasons for Sui
livan's being alive at the present time
is that he took too large a dose. Drug
gists and physicians say a couple of
teaspoonfuls of the stuff would be
enough to produce death unless imne-
diate steps were taken, but when Sui
liyan poured nearly the whole of the
of a two-ounca bottle of laud
anum down his throat it proved too
large a dose and his stomach naturally
threw it Off.

sticks were placed about the dangerous
spot, and remained there all day.

1t is generally conceded that Con-
gresham Dockery, the democratic ma
thematician, very much overdld the
matter, when he predicted a treasury
deficit of 800 100000 for the next fiscal
year. Custom receipts are increasing
and there is no reason to expect de-
crease in the. internal revenue, while
on the other hand the war expenses are
declining. Moreover, Mr.. Dockery has
included $5S,OoO0OO for the sinking fund
in his estimates, though nothing is
needed for that account because of pre-
vtous overpayments. Congressman
Payne Of New York goes so far as to
predict that there may be 70 deficit
whatever, next year. but this may be
regarded as a rather sanguine view.

HOW 1T HAPPENED,
Grattonians Discuss the Loss of Nc
License Cause.


Grafton, March 7.-Election after
math was the most noticeable thing. in
town today, and the principal topic of
conversation was the defeat of the no.
license element after putting IN a. fol-
cradle fight for the supremacy. OF the
90 registered voters STA voted on the
hcense question, 292 yes" and 2S2 mo .
forty-tWo more persons voted on the
question than last year, and the license
men lost 81 supporters, while the no
license party gained the support of n
over last years record.
Among temperance workers TODAY
me quotation from Hon. A. S. Roe's
North Grafton address was repeated
with much thought, and sorrow. as
well as determination to follow oIt it's
direction. The quotation is: "Only oc-
caslonal temperance efforts are made
mere, while the towns in Worcester
county today that are the strongest on
thls issue are towns where they keep
temperance meetings going the year
through. Should 13 yes" votes be
found at the election in any of those
towns, the citizens would immediately
form an investigating committee. )"

another year. now that they have got
SO near the goal, and will profit by

| Twenty-one of the % members of the
senior class of the c.. II. S. rendered
their opinion on the matter of securing.
an out-of-tOwn speaker to address
them on graduation day instead of fol-
| lowing the custom of previous years.
Sixteen were in favor of the speaker,
and five favored the established GUS
tom of each graduate delivering short
essay. The vote of the students is ex-
| pected to have some weight with the
school board, which holds it's next
meeting Saturday evening, and will
probably consider the matter at that
time.
The board has been favor

| II. Holiness however, does not favor
the idea as regards the speaking of the
students or an out-of-town man, eX-
cept on account of the size of the class
and the monotony which would be
caused by having each one speak at
the exercises.
The coming warden at the town farm
is not yet decided upon, but the plum

the Sutton farm, and e. G. Harvey of
| the Milford farm. Both men are well
recommended, and have had sufficient
experience to satisfy the oyerseers of
their ability to properly conduct the
farm and almshouse. A correspond

Minority American stockholders in
brewery companies that were-sold to
British capitalists. and reorganized I'M
der British laws, find their investment
rather expensive. The British court of
appeals has decided that the imperial
income tax is applicable to the entire
profits Of the business, and hence Am
orleans as well as Britons, must pay
their share of it. That amounts to an
assessment of from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year upon American stockholders in a
single Chicago concern, and they cannot
hope for relief at the hands of the house
Of lords, which is the supreme court of
Great Britain. 1t is admitted that the
decision is good law, but to Americans
it will seem worse than paying pen
sions to foreigners.
