EFFECTS OF STORM.
Much Suffering From The Cold
And Snow Is Reported
as Existing Among
The Poor.

The northeast storm which set in
here on Tuesday afternoon and con-
tinued with great force until yester-
day afternoon, when the wind shifted
TO northwest, and blew perfect gale,
was attended with much suffering by
men and beast
Snow lay on a level nearly foot
deep. and in drifts it banked up from
four TO five feet deep, and has made
the roads in places impossible, and in
consequence few people from the
country have ventured TO come out.
The greatest suffering comes from the
shipping, where those who were ex-
posed to the storm endured great hard
ships AT late hour last night the
mercury registered IL degrees and by
morning it had dropped toe degrees.
The wind has blown most Of the ac-
cumulated ice out of the harhor and
it is said 10 be banked up along the
Eastern Shore. The Severn river, Spa
and Coll, ge creeks are frozen from
shore to shore. Ice is reported from 5
to 6 inches thick in some places. Cap
tain Harrison, of the Colchester Com
any's steamer Annapolis. which made
the run here today. reported that the
storm was the worst on the bay that
he had been in for number of years.
He said that it was impossible TO see
more than a distance of 80 or 100
yards, and it was with difficulty that
he was able to locate the channel
bouys.
All day today the street commits
siner has had his force at work clear
ing off the crossings and opening foot
ways for pedestrians. The snow on
the west side of st. Anne's Church
was banked up three or four feet deep,
and pedestrians had TO take the middle
of the street Several persons are re-
ported having their hands and feet
frozen while going to their homes.
As preoaution against an outbreak
OF fire last night, which would have
been very unfortunate. the fire COM
panies had special details at the var
ious houses all night, ready for any
emergency.
A the Rescue Hose Company house
on West street, Fseveral of the mem
hers were on hand ready for any call.
A horse, kindly loaned by Mr.. Charles
Meyers. was in the house, harnessed,
ready TO respond at moments notice
But fortunately no occasion arose dur
ing the night demanding their service
1t was fearful night, and had fire
broken out, there would have been
much suffering. So far the trains over
local roads have been coming in on
time, and there has been very lite
delay.
Today is bright and clear, but cold,
and the indications are tlat the storm
has gone out to sea.

Do Not snnnress a nonsa.

" hen you have a cough do not try to
suppress il, but remove the cause. The
cough is only a symptom of some dis
sease, and the disc Sc Is what you should
cure, then the cough will stop itself. The
most common cause for coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform. opium, ETC., are used Tor
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing from

CHILD KILLED
BY ANTlTOX|N
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. June 20.-Yetta Green,
seven years old, died ON Monday, fifteen
minutes after receiving an injection of
health inspector. According TO her
father the child was perfectly well when
the antitoxin was given to her.
DR.. Darlington, Health Commissioner.
admits that antitoxin caused the girls
death, but offers no explanation except
that an air bubble might have been in
the syringe.
THIS was the first death from anti
toxin in the history of ,-.e Board of
Health. The facts came TO light through
the application of Morris Green, the
father, at the Coroner's office for a burial
permit. He told the clerk. between sobs,
that health inspector had made a hur-
r1ed call and, instead of paying any at.
tention to the baby. which was ill, waved
him aside and injected antitOxin into
4etta, who was in perfect health. In
quarter of an hour Yetta was dead.
Coroner Scholes then ordered an in
vestigation and will hold an autopsy at
the Morgue tomorrow morning. The
Board of Health will take no action until
the death is explained by the autopsy.
Dr. Darlington says there was nothing
the matter with the antitoxin and the
inspector who used IT was an experienced
and careful man.
1T Is sad and inexplicable circum-
stance, said Dr. Walter Benzel, head Of
the department of medical inspection.
An air bubble in the syringe would kill
IN a few seconds. Impure antitoxin
would not cause death for several hours
