HOLDING AN INQUEST.

III BuZZGfQ & Ray, NOV. 81 ne inquest lnNO
the deaths of Mrs. Mary E., Gibbs. of
Calumet, and Mrs. Annie G. Gordon, Of
Chicago, alleged to have died of poison,
administered by Jane Toppan, was begun
today before Judge Swift, Of the First
district court Of Barnstable county. The
inquest was conducted behind closed
doors and only one witness at a time was
admitted to the court room, and each was
strictly enjoined TO maintain secrecy as
to the nature of the evidence disclosed.
MISS ToPPAN BOUGHT POISON.
Boston, Nov. S.---A special to the Trav-
eler. from Wareham, Mass, says:
THE first positive evidence that would
tend to show that Miss Jane Toppan
bought drugs or poison was discovered
here today when it was learned that last
July Jane Toppan, then attending the
Davis family at Calumet ordered NOR
phine tablets Of a local druggist. The or
der came by telephone from Calumet to
Benjamin Waters drug store and called
for bottle Of morphine tablets, the
strongest possible.
THE order was received by the pro-
prietor over the telephone and was filled.
The message instructed Waters to send
the tablets enclosed in a paper wrapper
to Miss Toppan to be delivered to her at
Calumet.
The druggist says that the bottle con-
tanned enough poison to kill score of
persons. 1t was delivered to Miss Toppan
and paid for by her.

RECENT TRTE ESSAY CONTEST
AROUSED GENERAL INTEREST

The fruits of the effort made by the
Evening journal to interest our school
children In the study of trees. are ale
ready becoming apparent The most
striking fact which has come to light
Is that the public schools have never
devoted a moments time TO this inter-
csting branch of nature study Why
this is so, we DO not know since trees
from time immemOrial have been more
deeply impressed on the affections Of
men than any other inaminate object
Some time since the managers of
Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery
resolved To have the principal trees
within their enclosure marked 10y tags
bearing the common and the botani-
cal names. The matter has been re-
yived recently, in consequence of the
numerous inquiries made by reason OF
the contest instituted by the Evening
journal. and the trees will be marked
at an early date.
The Park Commissioners too. have
not been deaf to the public demand
but have determined to avail them
selves of the generous offer Of the New
Century Club TO pay the expense of
marking the principal trees In our pub
lie squares. and Ina the park along the
Brandywine So we take some little
pride in having been the agency in
arousing general interest in so import
ant a subject and when we determine
to repeat his contest, we shall ex-

pect the sources of information for the
contestants CO be much broader.
There are some things we have learu-
ed, among which is that we have MANY
fine old trees There is the splendid
sycamore in Delaware avenue near
West street, the old elm in the yard OF
the Fourth Street Meeting House. the
Rodney oak near the sp6inghouse in
frankiin street, above Tenth and the
large white oak in Oak street. near
Clayton.
The last two of these are probably
two centuries old. and the elm and the
sycamore undoubtedly are nearing the
century mark
Then we have discove red that there
is handsome and very rare cedar
of Lebanon just inside of the gateway
of the Wilmington and Brandvwine
Cemetery. 10 is the only one we know
of any size north of the Potomac river.
There is also a very beautiful mag
n0lia grandifora which grows close 10
the east side of the home of the late
job II. Jackson. and is one Of the
rarest trees inrthe city.
So when the fruits of cur efforts have
been gathered we shall not be disap-
pointed in the results Of our contest.
The children have become interested
and have gathered much valuable in
formation. and our public officials have
shown a spirit to aid in the matter
in every way possible
