TOOK POISON BY MISTAKE
BENZ. C. MARTIN MAKES A
NARROW ESCAPE.
For Hours The West Street Saloon
Keeper Hovered Between
Life And Death.

For several hours last night Ben
Martin, the West street salOonkeeper
and restauranter, hovered between life
and death. For some time his life
was despaired of and it was thought
that death was but a matter of time.
A large dose of deadly poison had
been taken by him by mistake and
soon the terrible effects were noticed.
Friends worked over him for some
time and it was only through perse-
yerance that his life was saved.
Last night he was entertaining q
number of friends and at a late hour it
was decided TO take a drink. The
drinks were taken preparatory TO all
leaving for their homes. Then Mr..
Martin said that he would take some
whiskey and glycerine which he had
secured for a bad cold. Reaching into
a dark corner of a shelf he brought
forth bottle and from it took a long
drink Immediately he was aware of
the fact that he had made a terrible
mistake. His internal organism felt
as though in the grip of lava stream
from Mt Pelee. A glance at the
bottle convinced him of the fact that
he had made a mistake, and that in
stead of taking whiskey aud Slycerine
he had taken medicine which was
compounded for the cure If rheuma-
tism.
AS twenty four drops is the dose and
Mr.. Martin had probably taken several
hundred drops. there had every rea-
son to believe that the dose was poison
Gus. The druggist who had prepared
the medicine was called up and asked
as to its poisonous nature. Deadly
poison" was the answer which came
back over the telephone and he ad-
vised the friends of Mr.. Martin TO get
busy in applying emetics. They lost
no time in looking for proper reme-
dies. A bar of soap was made into
lather and this was fed to Mr.. Martin
in spite of his many protests and COM
plants. Strong coffee and variety of
liquids were forced down his unwill-
ing throat. They had the proper
effect, however, and soon the doings
of Jonahs whale were outdone. He
was freed of the poison and soon felt
so much improved that he went to
bed. This morning he had not entire
ly recovered from his exciting and
strenuous experience. He is strongly
of the opinion that soap. as an article
of diet, is not success.

Bad Fire Prevented.

An opportune discovery Of fire this
afternoon prevented what might have
developed into serious conhagration.
A quantity Of comfortables we're being
unpacked in front Of Ridout Bros.
store and were laid out in large piles
preparatory to being carried inside. A
well known man was standing in the
doorway of the store and thoughtless-
ly knocked ashes from his cigar on
top of the pile. This was not noticed
at the time and more Of the winter
coverings were placed on top. Just as
the piles were to be carried into the
store the fire was discovered. One Of
the comfortables had been badly burn
ed and was bursting into flames when
discovered. Had it been later in the
day and the comfortables carried into
the store, there is every reason to be-
Iieve that serious fire would have
resulted.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
Wind Causes Two Painters To Fall
From Housetop This
Afterooon.

An almost miraculous escape from
serious and probable fatal injuries was
that of Mr.. John K. Strange. of the
firm of Robert <. Strange 81 Sons, and
one of their employees this afternoon.
A sudden and unexpected gust of wind
scame near hurling both to death or
serious injury.
Mr.. Strange and the other man were
engaged in painting the house of Mr..
Henry Schreyer. ON Conduit street.
Both had long ladders and were busily
engaged at work, Mr.. Strange's COM
panion being on the longer ladder of
the two, high up in the hip of the roof.
The wind was blowing rather strongly
but no extra precaution had been
taken with reference to making their
ladders secure. A quick and sudden
gust of Boreas burst around the side
of the house. caught the ladder on
which Mr.. Strange was standing and
started to carry him along the side of
the house. There is another house
just few feet away and this added in
making the force of the wind more
powerful.
When Mr.. Strange felt the ladder
moving beneath his feet he dropped
brush, paint bucket and other tools
with which he was encountered and
tried TO stay his fall by catching al
he smooth sides of the house. He was
unable to check the speed, however,
and fell against the ladder on which
the other man was standing. Both
men were then in danger and it ap-
peared as though both would be dash.
ed to the ground. The other man.
however, saw the danger just in time
and clung to the window at which he
was working. He hung on with al
the strength at his command and was
unable to check the force of the blow.
As soon as the two ladders came to-
gether Mr.. Strange let go of the lad.

Skinned" down the other one. Boil
men were badly frightened, but soon
resumed their work as though their
experience was an everyday event.
