FOUR DIE IN SHORT TIME
UNUSUAL MORTALITY IN ALDEN r.
DAVIS, FAMILY.
ExhumntiOn Of Bodies OF Two Daugh-
ters Starts Rumor Of Suspect
ed P0is0nfng.

BOSTON, August 31.-A special from Ca
taumet to the Herald says:
''It Is rather unusual for four persons in
Of one month. Yet this occurred In the
case Of Mr.. and Mrs. Alden P. Davis and
their two daughters, Mrs. Irving Gibbs and
Mrs. Harry Gordon. the latter of Chicago,
the deaths taking place only few weeks
ago.
Some one started a rumor that these
persons, or at least two Of them, did not
die from natural causes. Finally the dis
trict attorney ordered an investigation and
was instructed to conduct an autopsy on
the bodies Of Mrs. Gordon and Mrs Gibbs.
An undertaken exhumed the bodies yester-
ence of Medical Examiner Faunce, State
Detective Whitney, Prof. Whitney and
Prof. Wood Of Harvard College.
''While Prof. Wood had undoubtedly been
requested by Capt. Paul Gibbs to attend
the autopsy, he was also present as an ex-
pert employed by the state, and to his GUS
tody were fntrusted the organs of the two
bodies for chemical analysis. This. in the
minds of many, shows that the authorities
are looking for poison. The fact that the
Jacin house, which was the home Of the
Davis family, was set on fire four or five
times during the interval between the death
OF Mrs. Davis and her younger daughter Is
considered as having an important bearing
on the case.
whether the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis are to be exhumed depends on the
result of the autopsy held yesterday. The
result OF the autopsy performed will not be
made known for several days."

August %, 1901.
The concluding week Of August at Avon
is filed with busy days of social life, and
the doings of the great crowd Of summerers
exemplify the fact that their season at the
sea has resulted in added strength and
their refreshing weeks amid the salt and
pine-laden breezes have created a vigor
which makes them impervious to the IA
tigues of outdoor and indoor merrymaking.
The Avon Inn is entertaining house
full Of guests, and the arrivals Of the past
week are as heavy as those of any week in
the earlier part of the season.
On Monday evening the guests Of the Ok
ford INDUCED in q subscription dance for
the benefit of the musicians, whose faithful
efforts have conduced so much toward for
warding the enjoyment of the hotel guests.
The bal poudre at the Hotel Buckingham
was the occasion Of much enjoyment to
happy throng Of guests and served well to
start the busy social week at that popular
house.
Prof. Charles e. Munroe, Ph.D., LID,
dean of the scientific faculty Of the Co
lumbian University. is at the Oxford.
Another Washington visitor at Avon Is

HOSPITAL WATER SUPPLY.
Change in System at st. Elizabeth
Other improvements.

Other improvements.
A complete change Is being made in the
manner of providing suitable water sup
ply for the Government Hospital for the
Insane, and the system is about ready to
go into operation. DR.. A. B. Richardson,
the superintendent. planned the change
ferred to, and the sum Of S37 500 was
granted by Congress for the equipment.
Six artesian wells. each about 225 feet
deep have been bored near the river and
from these water will be forced by COM
pressed air to a large ciStern near the
main buildings. Two pumps. each capable
of pumping LOCO. 900 gallons of water daily,
have been installed and are now being
operated, although at present the water Is
still being pumped from the river. The
artesan wells are now receiving the nee
esSary piping.
A ten-inch water main has been laid from
the pumps to the asylum buildings, and
siX-inch has been run about the instltu-
tion and thirty-five hydrants established to
be used in protecting the asylum against
fires. The main line of pipe continues to
water tower 104 feet high and holding 16O.-
90 gallons Of water. This is constructed
near the Toner buildings. The tower is to
be handsomely ornamented, as 1t Is
in proximity to the proposed extension of
the asylum and will serve to supply the
new buildings with water as well as the old
portion of the institution. The system will
also be extended to the new stable that is
under construction east of Nichols avenue.
The new brick central storehouse. used
for the keeping of supplies and as a cold
storage and ice plant. has been completed
and is now in use. Several tons of ice are
manufactured in the building daily, while
the refrigerating rooms are always in USE
II contains six of these rooms, there being
one for fresh meats. one for salt meats,
one for milk and butter, one for vegetables
one for fruits and for ice. The bills
of the hospital for fee used each year were
about 5000 annually. The building Is
three-story and basement structure, and
the sum of S32 800 was made available for
It's construction and equipment.

ERRORS OF AUTHORS.
Some of the AnachrOnisms Found In
Shakespeare's Writings.

Some Of the Anachr0nisms Found In
Shakespeare's Writings.
From Tit Bits.
When Anthony Trollope pictured Andy
Scott as coming whistling up the street
with a cigar In his mouth" he not only
proved that he had never made personal
experiment Of the double feat Of smoking
q cigar and whistling tune, but he was
unconsciously following in the steps Of still
greater writer's who make their heroes do
amazing and impossible things.
Those who remember their Robinson
Crusoe may recall most wonderful feat
Of this hero Of childhood. When he decided
to abandon the wreck and try to swim
ashore he took the precaution to remove
all his clothes. and yet by some strange
magic, OF which the secret has been lost,
the author makes him, when In this condi-
tion OF nature, fill his pockets with biscuits
The great Shakespeare himself had Pc
culiar facility for making the impossible
happen in his plays. One Of the most re-
markable OF these feats occurs In the fifth
act of 'Othelio." when Desdemona, after
she has been duly smothered by the Moor,
comes to life again and enters into conver-
sat1on quite nationally, even inventing q
generous falsehood to shield him from the
consequences Of his crime, before she de-
cides to die. The fmprobability Of a person
recovering consciousness and speech after
being smothered. and Of dying after per-
forming such feat. scarcely needs point
ing out.
Shakespeare. too, had a trick of intro
ducing the most glaring anachronisms--so
glaring. In fact that there Is more than a
suspicion that they must have been intro
duced consciously for some unknown rea-
son.
For instance. he makes a clock strike in
ancient Rome at time more than a thou
sand years before clocks were invented.
when such an event would certainly have
been the eighth wonder OF the world
Quite regardless Of the evidence Of geog-
raphy. he transports Bohemia to the sea-
side. and he introduces a printing press
long before the days OF Gutenberg. He
calmly Introduces billiard table into Cleo
patra's palace. and makes cannon familiar
to King John and his barona.
Thackeray was no mean rival to Shakes
peare in vagaries Of this kind; but In his
case they appear to have been the result
most hagrant case. perhaps. is where after
burytng Lady Kew and effectively dismiss
ing her from the story, he brings her to
life again to help him out with his plot:
and In other cases his capacity for mixing
up the names of his characters is as con-
fusing as 1t Is wonderful.
Emile lola, In spite OF his carefulness.
makes the astounding statement In one OF
his vels-"Lourdes'-that the deaf and
dumb recovered their hearing and sight
an event which savors very much Of the
miraculous.
The moon has innocently been the cause
OF much blundering on the part of authors.
Wilkie Collins. in some mysterious fashion,
made 1t rise on one important occasion In
the west; Rider Haggard. in king Solo
new moon for the benefit OF his readers;
and Coler1dge fngeniously places a star be-
tween the horns Of the crescent moon as
she rises In the east.

had known Lottie Brown four or five years,
while he had known Rose Johnson only this
summer. Witness had seen the latter ac-
cost street car passengers both In the Dis
trict and in Maryland Until lately she
was not a regular visitor to resorts about
the junction.
Policeman StahI informed the court that
he had known Lottfe Brown for nearly hye
wears. while he had been acquainted with
Rose Johnson only about nine months
Both Of them. he said, have the reputa-
tioIl Of being women of eyl life.
For the Defense.
Rose Johnson, in her own defense, told
Judge Kimball that she never indulges IN
intoxicants, but she has been In the habit
Of drinking sarsaparilla. She said she Is
employed by Mr.. Hendricks Of 4S1 Missouri
avenue and receives $S a month. Defend
ant said she was arrested Wednesday night
when she went out to see the ranDit
dance"
She said she had been at Chesapeake
Junction resorts several times since June
1. She usually went out to see man VINO
played music at Beach's.
Where do these rabbit dances take
placer" asked the prosecuting attorney.
"At Gregory'S and Beach's.
She said she did not stay to see. She
heard the place was going to be raided and
left early.
Mrs Brown mother of Lottie Brown,
gave her residence as 1888 Kramer street.
She said her daughter is married and has
a child four years old. Mrs. Brown said
her daughter had never been In the habit
of running about at night until she got to
going to Chesapeake Junction. Her daugh-
ter. she said, had never been in the habit
Of drinking intexicants.
Lottie Brown gave her age as twenty-one
years and said her husband Is in Cuba
Wednesday night. she said. she went to
Chesapeake Junction with her father and a
friend of his to see rabbit Dance" She
denied the several statements made against
her and said she Is respectable woman.

ATTEMPTED JAIL DELIVERY,

Fire Department at Edwardsvflle, Mo-,
Subdues the Recalcitrants.
ST. LOUIS, August 31.-A daring at
tempt to deliver thirty three prisoners from
the Madison county jail at Edwardsville
was made last night by James Johnston,
man under Indictment for the murder,
last summer, Of James Ryburn, citizen
Of Alton. But for Katherine Hotz, the
daughter OF the jailer. the attempt would
have proved successful. AS it was, seven
teen of the thirty-three prisoners, among
them five alleged murderers. managed to
escape from their cells into the main cor
ridor Of the Jail, and there kept the sher-
ff, his deputies, Turnkey Threadley and
large number Of citizens at bay for three
hours.
The city fire department was finally call
ed in and after turning on half dozen
streams Of water the prisoners cried for
mercy. They were then handcuffed and
returned to their cells.
