DRUG Was NOT FATAL
YOUNG DURFEE REMOVED TO ST.

CONSCIOUS STATE
THOUGHT TO BE DEsPONDENT.

When Taken to a Bath Room By
Friends He Suddenly Collapsed
and Fell to the Floor From O
Settee - Partially Revived, He
Muttered That at Would Not Last
Long"
Apparently suffering from the effect OF
some narcotic drug, F. L. Durfee, q
young man In the employ Of the Omaha
railroad, lapsed into a state of uncon-
seriousness at the Turkish bath rooms In
the German-American Bank building late
yesterday afternoon. He was removed to
st. Joseph's hospital, where he remained
in a precarious condition for several
hours. Gradually responding to the ef-
forts OF the physicians. however, tho
young man rallied, and last night was
reported to be out OF danger.
F'rom whatever drug young Durfee was
suffering, 1t is believed from a remark
he made, that he took 1t knowingly in a
fit of dependency The young man was
taken to the bath room by two friends.
He seemed then to be in, rather dazed
condition. When he was put into the hot
room he suddenly collapsed and fell from
a settee to the floor. Here he was dis
covered by the attendant. DIR. CaVanaugh
was hurriedly summoned, and found half
a dozen persons endeavoring to resuscl-
tate Durfee There was no evidence Of
poison found about the bath room, but
when he partially revived for a moment
the young man said that 1T would not
last long" When asked what he meant,
he replied, my existence" This state
ment, together with the alarm of his
friends, and his drowsy condition. lead
to the belief that the young man was
under the influence Of some drug.
Young Durfee is the son of wealthy
parents living at Ashland. Wis. For
some time he has been employed In tho
engineering department OF the Omaha
road friend went to Ashland last
evening to inform the young mans par
ents Of his condition. 1t is said that ne

Singular Accident Which Happened
to 81 Horse and Load of COnI.
The pretty little cottage occupied by
John Nj. Simmer, at SOL Olive street, re-
ceived a severe shock yesterday morning
when q horse and coal wagon tumbIed
down slight embankment from the
street and crashed into the side of the
building. The plastering was knocked
from the walls within and the outside
boards were badly shattered The horse
was severely cut in several places and the
coal wagon was badly damaged.
The horse and wagon belonged to John
McNeal, a fuel dealer at 635 Mississippi
street, and was in charge of John Brown.
There was half tone of coal aboard
the wagon, and as the road led up a
rather steep hill Brown was walking be-
side the horse. AS the wagon passed
the Simmer cottage, which stands sew
eral feet below the street, the wheels
slid to the side of the road, the wagon
was overturned and together with the
struggling horse tumbled down the en-
bankment. The outfit brought up with a
crash against the cottage, knocking pic
lures from the wall and overturniug
chairs while the inmates were for the
moment quite frightened. No one was
injured. however. the greatest damage

Undertaken to Account Therefor.
Health Commissioner Ohage yesterday
took up the question Of the disappearance
of the bodies of dead paupers which were
supposed to have been buried in the
county cemetery. at the poor farm, but
several of which, It appears, have been
sent to the medical colleges.
Health Commissioner Ohage has writ
ten a letter to Rockstroh requesting him
TO inform the health office as to the dis
position of the bodies of Otto FiFtzbauer,
Joseph MCGEE and Sarah Mccarthy, for
the burial of which permits were secured
in December and January, but which the
records show were not inferred In the
county or any other cemetery The jur-
isdiction of DR.. Ohage comes from the
fact that II the bodies Of three persons
were removed to the medical college at
Minneapolis the law was violated, as a
removal permit should have been secured
from the health department.
In checking up the list Of burial per-
mits issued by the board of control yes
terday Secretary Tong, of the board, dis
covered that there had been no return
made to the health department for the
burial of Sarah Mccarthy, who died Dec.
20, 1859. A permit was issued by the
board OF controf for the burial of Mrs.
Mccarthy In the county cemetery. Sew
eral days after the permit was returned
to the office Of the board by Rockstroh,
who stated that the friends of the wom-
an had decided not to have her buried in
the plot allotted to the puaper dead and
that interment had been at Calvary GEM
etery. The records In the health Office
don't show that the remains of Mrs. Nc
Carthy were buried at Calvary cemetery.
]. E. Maroney business partner of
Rockstroh, seen last 7evening. said the
letter from Dr. Ohase had been received,
and Mr.. ROckstreh would have an inter-
view with the health commissioner today
probably. 1.-THE Bodies which we turned
over to the medical colleges" said Mr..
Maroney, 1--WE never charged the county
for burying. Ina factswe have not pre-
scented bin to the board OF control for
any of the workwe have done since the
contract commenced. I am of the opinion
that the medical college committee has
the right to serve acquisitions on US for
bodies without going to the board of con-
troll. We can account for all the bodies
which we have turned over, and can sat
isfy DR.. Ohage that there has been moth
ing wrong in the premises. Whether we
should have secured a removal permit
for bodies turned over to the medical
college is a question which will have to
be settled
Mr. Maroney would not say whether
the bodies Of Joseph MCGEE and Mrs. Nc
Carthy had been given to the medicaf col
lege or not, but he said acquisitions
could be shown for all bodies not buried.

The anniversary of the death Of Rob-

fore an audience which packed the hall.
The memory of the Irish patriot, his life
and death for the cause of liberty were

Which was entwined a wreath Of green.
John D. OBrien presided as chairman.
and in opening the meeting said:
we meet tonight to commemorate the
anniversary of the death of Robert EN-
met. Many years have passed since the
tragic event, but the people of the EN-
erald isle are still In favor of liberty not
only for themselves but for every one
else, whether it be Paul Kruger OIL. George

are OF great value The lessons which we
will carry home with us are such as will
make us better citizens In the life and
death of Robert Emmett we must look
beneath the surface. What he lived for
and what he died for are the principles
which then existed and now exist Every
person must recognize the responsibilities
due to society and himself. Robert EN-
met at the age OF twenty-one years
recognized his relations to his people,
society and the state and every one
must feel the same responsibility"
