Difficulties of Sweethearts.
A West Bath youth one day recent
ly wishing to give his Bath sweet
heart a sleighride, but wishing also to
conceal that purpose from his par
ents, drove the sister to town to do
some shopping. Leaving her at one
of the stores, he enlisted the services
of a mutual girl friend to invite the
fair inamorata and. of course, took
the intermediary along too. The
swain, seated between his lady love
and the other lady, set out for the
drive and was floating in the seventh
heaven when a runner Of the sleigh
caught in the car track and brought
all three to the earth with such force
that the intermediary-they always
get the worst of it-painfully bumped
her nose. While the passengers were
extricating themselves. the horse de-
Gliding that he had better shift for
himself. disappeared. The youth
searched In vain as far as the four
corners on the Brunswick road and
WAS then obliged to seek his sister,
tell her of the accident and suggest
she spend the night with friends while
he walked home. On the way he got
track of the missing horse which was
applying for admission at the Aims
house when the much relieved young
man arrived and found no serious
damage done 1t was the second
time he had taken the same girl to
drive and the other ride ended with
an upset, too. He's wondering Ii he
dares risk the fatal third.

MISTAKE Of
NURSE FATAL

S, Olton, who has been en-
ployed by the st. Paul Lumber
company, and who was at Fannie
Paddock hospital for stomach
trouble, was given an ounce of
oxalic acid instead of sodium sui
phate by mistake by Mrs. Rosaline
Hull, a member of the nurses
training class at $50 o'clock Sat-
urday morning and in a few min
utes he was dead.
The oxalic acid resembles the
sodium sulphate somewhat, and
was in the same kind of box in the
medicine chest. Mrs. Hull got
hold of the wrong box and the dose
killed the young man.
He complained when he took it
that 1t burned his mouth. A lit
tie later he began to vomit. The
nurse then thought something was
wrong and gave the alarm, and
everything possible was done to
save the patient, but it was too
late. An inquest is being held
today.

NEW YORK. Jan. 9.-As re-
suit of the influence of j. p. Nor
gan, financial clouds that gathered
following the suspension Saturday
of the Carnegie Trust company
were dissipated today. The
strength of the money king was
felt in the market as well as in
banking circles, and the leaders of
the financial world are breathing
freely again.
The power of piles of gold
stacked on the counters of the
banks in full view of the timid
depositors had a quieting effect.
Only foreigners withdrew their
deposits from the Nineteenth and
Twelfth ward banks, and incoming
deposits more than offset the
Withdrawals. There were few
Withdrawals from the Madison
Trust company.
