TELEGRAM SAVES
PASSENGERS LIFE
DRUGGISTS MISTAKE CORRECT
ED AS POISON Is ABOUT TO
BE TAKEN.

UTICA, N. Y, March 22.-According
to a story told at the railroad offices
here. fatality was narrowly averted
last night when William Brady, a pas
senger travelling over the Mohawk &
Malone division of the New York Gen.
trail from Montreal to New York City,
was stopped barely IN time from TAX
ing a poison given through mistake by
Montreal druggist. Brady has the
telegraph to thank for escoping death.
Shortly before the train left Mon
treal Brady entered a drug store and
requested that a prescription he had
be compounded in hurry, as he was
about to leave the city. After Brady
had left the store with his medicine,
the druggist discovered that he had
by mistake used deadly drug in COM
pounding the mixture. The druggist,
thoroughly frightened, rushed to the
Bon avenue station and not knowing
Brady's destination, or the train ne
left on, sent messages TO several sta
tions on the Grand Trunk and other
roads, informing the man Of the mis-
take which he had made.
One of these messages was sent to
Upper Lake, in the Adirondacks, and
as the train stopped at that station
the telegraph operator jumped on
board and called 3rady's name. He
was none too soon, as Brady was at
that moment standing at the water
tank preparing to take the medicine.
The mistake was explained and the
medicine thrown away.

the rank Of Major. and will not again
be permitted to wear the German uni

| it is declared, was requested by EN-
peror william.
According to the Mittag zeitung
Emperor William has been extremely
dissatisfied with the Prince because of
his continued relations with the Baro-
ness Leibenburg. 1t was because OF
his interest in this woman that the
Prince was punished eighteen months
ago by being sent out to join the Ger
man forces in the field in southwest
Africa.
The Baroness Leibenburg was at one
time an actress and played in the the
aires of Berlin. Her maiden name
was Marie Sulzer. The Prince desir-
ed to marry her. but this was impos-
sible because of the inequality of their
social stations. Marie SulZer then
obtained the title of Baroness Lieben-
berg through marriage with an Autri-
an Baron at a suburban registry office
al Brixon Hill, London, she and the
Baron parting at the conclusion of the
ceremony.
1t is declared that the Baron was to
receive a large sum of money for hav-
ing conferred his title upon the actress
SO that it would be possible for her to
marry the Prince after she had secur-

band. 1t is understood, however, that
this financial transaction was never
completed and the divorce was never
obtained.
In the meantime the Prince and the

HAS THE ABILITY TO PRE-

PORT AL PRINCE, March 22.-
President Nord Alexis in an interview
at the palace today declared that the
conditions in the republic we're were
absolutely tranquil.
He said that he did not question
his ability to preserve order and pro
tect foreign interests here. Should
the Powers, however, decide to keep
the warships in this harbor he would
not object, but he added that there
was no necessity for such a thing, as
there was no possibility of a popular
outbreak against the foreign residents.
The Government, continued the
President, did not intend to take fur
Their action looking to the prosecution
of the participants in the recent reYo-
luton, except in the case of the dis
loyal soldiers, who are subject to mil
itary punishment.
The Government, he said, gave
proof Of its good faith in permitting
the embarkation at Gonnaives of Gen.
Firmin and his fellow-conspirators
without exacting any pledge from
them. He thought the refugees in the
legations here should welcome a re-
turn to their homes to resume their
avocations.
