Passes Away in the
Arms of Frantic
Husband.
BRIDE OF YEAR
Honeymoon Barely
Over When Death
Stalks in.

OAKLAND. Aug. 2.-victim OF nervous
hysteria and unceasing pain in her head.
Mrs. Carmen d. Sullivan, aged y years,
the wife of Charles W. Sullivan, me-
chanical engineer. drank Iysol by mistake
for headache remedy at her home, 631
Forty-sixth street, this afternoon and
died in agony half an hour afterward in
the arms of her husband to whom she
had been married for less than a year.
The husband and wife. in company with
Miss Jeanette Grau of San Francisco,
were at the dinner table when suddenly
Mrs. Sullivan, who had been complaining
all day of a terrible headache. rose from
the table and went 70 a medicine closet in
the room, saying that she must take
something to stop the pain or she would
go mad.
Miss Grau and the husband saw her
take bottle from the closet and put il
10 her lips. and a moment later she
turned with scream as the lysol. which
is a powerful disinfectant burned her
mouth and throat Sullivan sprang to-
ward his wife as she ran to the sink. and
as she expectorated the fiery fluid from
her mouth some of 1t fell on his left
cheek and eyelid and narrowly missed de-
stroying the sight of the eye.
As soon as he saw what IL was that his
wife had taken Sullivan hurried to the
!.
avenue, and told him what his wife had
done Dr. Kelly fastened to the Sullivan
home. but by the time he reached the
house Mrs Sullivan was insensible and
shortly afterward she died, without hav-
ing regained consciousness.
Mrs. Sullivan was the daughter Of
Judge H. l.. Bradford. a well-known at
torney of San Francisco, who was for
merly partner of Judge Henry s. Foote.
For the last four years she had been
notary public. She was a graduate o. fhe
Polytechnic High School in San Francis
CO. and for ten years before her mar
riage lived in San Francisco with her
mother and father. Only six months ago
she purchased the house in which, shs
died.
The young husband was frantic with
grief when he realized that his bride had
been snatched from his arms by the hand
OF death. and could give no coherent ac-
count of the accident. Bending over the
still FORM which the Coroner had not re-
moved from the house, he begged for a
word of farewell. When Mrs. Bradford.
the mother of the young wife. attempted
to lead him from the room he refused TO
go, and for a time 1t was feared that his
grief would dethrone his reason.
The victim of the fatal mistake was a
native of Modesto. and besides her hus-
band, father and mother. she leaves one
brother, L. H Bradford. Her parents
have recently moved TO this city from
San Francisco and now reside at 419 Six
ty-fifth street.
The Coroner has taken charge OF the
case, but owing to the circumstances OF
Mrs Sullivan's death the remains were
not removed to the Morgue. An inquest
will be held at 1880 D. m. next Thursday
No arrangements for the funeral have
yet been announced

City Must Pay for
Destruction OF
Cars.
Sequel toDebs Railway
Union Strike in
1894.
Jury Awards Verdict for
100000 in Favor of
the Panhandle.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO. Aug. 27-Chicago has
reaped a harvest of the whirlwind of
Debs American Railway Union strike
OF 1894. A jury in Judge Frost's court
IN Wheaton yesterday brought in a
verdict for 500, 600 against the city in
favor of the Panhandle railroad. This
amount represented, in the opinion OF
the jurors. the damage done to the road
by the burning of its freight cars in
the strike riots
The road sued for $4,000 The jur-
ors decided that $4,000 was represent
ed by merchandise in transit and the
city should not be held responsible for
this. But they held that the city could
not escape financial liability for fail
ure OF the authorities TO curb mobs and
prevent the burning of cars.
IL was the contention OF the city that
the cars were not burned by mobs.
The city has been lighting these
claims for ten years
The Panhandle trial has been on
since last spring in the Circuit Court
OF Du Page County.
The Panhandle was not the only rail-
road 10 lose by fires IN the Debs strike.
After the struggle starter at f'uf1n1an
by Debs' newly organized American
Railway Union was few days old, 1t
began to grow too unwieldy for its
leader His only policy, as he saw the
railroads resisting successfully and his
own followers falling away, was to ex-
tend the strike.
AS the strike extended, it became
more vicious. When the railroads had
succeeded in moving trains in spite Of
all Debs could do, he became desperate.
Then rioting was begun in the freight
yards This bred new disorder and the
torch came into use. Some one set fire
20 a few freight cars and they were de-
stroyed. The whole freight yards were
set ablaze within a week.

MARYSvILLE. Aug. 27-Coroner
Kelly has found that the stranger
whose body was found In this city on
Friday night was Charles Regal, who
was wanted by the San Francisco po-
lice in connection with the death Of
Arthur Howell, whose body was found
in lodging house in San Francisco.
where both had been stopping. Regal
came to Marysville and was here wheI,
the news of Powelps death was pub
lished. Both had previously worked
here. When Regal appeared at the
Marysville cannery, Charles Hawkins
mentioned Powelrs death. Regal re-
marked that he had a notion to commit
suicide himself. After working one
day he quit and disappeared.
With the body were found revolver
and bottle of strychnine. In the
pockets was s5 so in cash. Regal wore
gold-rimmed spectacles. His body has
been inferred in the paupers grave
yard
Regal and Powell passed as the Re-
gal brothers here and in San Francisco
and always dressed alike. They were
from Philadelphia and worked at sew
Gral places in this state. Both were
zbelieped -te-sbe we'll connected In the
East.
The police state that the cases Of
Powell and Regal have many elements
of the mysterious. Powell died under pc
culiar circumstances in San Francisco on
August Is at lodging house at 329 Minna
street. He shared a room with Regal and
the two men were constantly together.
On the day of Powells death, however,
Regal disappeared. Chemists who exam
ined the contents of Powelps stomach
stated that death was caused by carbolic
acid poisoning. The day before his death
Powell had complained to the landlord
that Regal had robbed him of money and
jewelry. He also stated that Regal had
forced him to drink of an ill-tasting wine,
though Regal himself had refused to i'm
bibe. No traces of poison were found in
the wine that remained in the decanter.
A search was made for Regal, as the
police believed that he could throw light
upon PowelPs death. BY RegaPs suicide
the mystery is deepened and may never
be cleared up. The police believe that
Regal took his life for one of two rea-
sons-either he feared the consequences
of Powells death or carried out suicide
agreement.
