Miss Llllle Templeton. aged SB years, who
lived with her widowed mother and several
brothers and sisters at 100 St. Mark avsnue.
Brooklyn, died on (Saturday as the result of an
overdose of a cough mixture. Bhe had been
suffering from a slight cold alt through th
winter, but had not been under the oars of a
physician. On Friday night she went with her
sister to an entertainment at the Ilaplltt Tem
pt e and It was nearly 11 o'clook when they re
turned, Llllle complained of her throat and
her sister suggested the cough mixture. This
had been In the house for some time, baring
been put up at a drng store tn the neighbor
hood from a prescription furnished by a friend
of the family. Miss lempleton took a large
dose of the drug before retiring. About 7
o'clock the next morning she waa found un
conscious In bed by bsr sister and bleeding
from the mouth and nose. Efforts by tjvo
Physicians to revive her by artificial resplra.
tlou and other means failed and ehe died within
a few hours.
In nls certificate Dr. W. It. D. Pratt eays that
death resulted from the tlnoture of laudanum
In the cough mixture. The mixture contained
equal parte of lauaanum. spirits of camphor,
peppermint, and balsam. Dr. I'ratt eaye It wae
a mixture euon as nonhyslolan would prescribe.
A person, he adds, taking tbe mixture would be
liable tn hare the memory dulled, and thus be
In danger of repeating tho doses within a short
time. Coroner Coombs has been notified, but
haa not considered It necessary to hold an au
tousy. He will direct his attention, bowerer. to
the couth mixture. Miss Templeton was fond
of outdoor exercise and Indnlged moderately In
bicycling. Hhe was a daughter of the late
James A. Templeton.
For more than n year the Templeton family
have been using the mixture. It was made up
at the ltolton drug store In Flatbuih and Bu
Mark's avenues. 'A few months ago Miss Tem
Pletou herself called and asked for an unusually
large quantity of the mixture. On that occa
sion the manager of the store directed her at
tention tn the laudanum Ingredient In the mix
turr. and Impressed upon her tbe necessity of
care In Its use. hhe answered:
"Ob. we have all been using It, and It Is the
greatest thing on earth."
It was said that the original prescription wss
written out by a woman, and given as a special
favor to Mrs. Templeton. A regular doee was
10 drops, but Miss Templeton le supposed to
have taken 48 drops at snort Intervale on Fri
day night.

Ham Lawrence, Episcopal Bishop of the diocese

reference to the arbitration treaty:
" We are thle month rejoicing In a realization
of a dream of the dreamers of centuries.
Whether tue present treaty be ratified or not le
of great Importance, but It Is at the same time
of least importance as compared with the fact
tbat the treaty has been seriously proposed and
formulated: that It has received the signatures
of the representatives of the two great Engllsh
epeaklng nations, and that It has been com
mended by tbe Empress of Great Britain
and India to the consideration of the
nations of Europe, who, armed to the
teeth In mutual sutplolon, are draining their
wealth In the support of standing armies, and
aro a perpetual menace to the peace, tho pros
perity, and the happiness of the world. That
tho Idea of two great nations, who a year ago
were almost arming for war with each other,
peacefully and reasonably settling differences
of the deepest moment, ehould bo welcomed by
the people of lioth nations. It a step boyond tbe
dreams of even a generation ago.
" Wn are not optimistic enough to believe that
nil nations are Immediately going to beat their
swords Into plouphsbnree and their spears Into
pruning hooka. We are, however, glad to be
uble to break forth Into songs of joy that tbls

Spaniards Bay the Co as eta le Not a.oef.
Havana, Jan. 24. In the province of Havana
the war has assumed the matt barbarous char
acter since Weyler gave his last orders to lay
watte the untlre country. Around the town of
Olunos the Spaniards have destroyed every
thing. Nothing can stay their Inhuman work,
and the property of either friend or fue Is re
duced to asbe. Many foreigners have vainly
proUtted. When the protest of a foreigner Is
brought to Weyler or. In his absence, to bis sec
retary, tho Marquis of Palmerota, the answer
Invariably 1st
"Let foreigners present their claims through
the diplomatic channels."
In the city of Havana the persecution of
women continues. Senorlta Kocarlo Slgarroa, a
distinguished young womau, has received
orders to leave the Island within a week, under
pain of Imprisonment. The police searched her
house for political documents from the New
York Junta. Nothing was found, but the above
order w as served upon bsr. It came from Bailor
Porrua, the Governor of Havana. Another
Cuban lady, Emilia Cordova, has retelred a
simitar order of banishment.
Clemencla Arango, sister of tue Cuban CoL
Raoul Arango, was the victim of still more
cruel treatment. Yesterday It was reported In
the city that she had been arrested and taken
to the house where Immoral women are con
fined, but the report was not true. What hap
pened was that the police, searching her rooms
for letters from her brother, treated her so
roughly as to arouse the Indignation of all the
neighbors. She Is a friend of Consul General
Lee and his family, and Is highly ssteemrd by
all the best Havana society. As she Is an orphan,
and her brother Is serving his country's cause
In the war, frlendt will take care to send her
safely to the United States.
An editor of the Dlarlo uV la Marina, which Is
the official organ of tbe Navy Department at
Havana, was summoned to the palace of Ad
miral Navarro as soon as the news was clrcu.
lated of the deetructlon of tbe Spanish gunboat
Comsta by the Insurgents near Cdyamoe, Ma
tanzas. The editor received orders to deny the
news, and, accordingly, the following lines
appear In to-day's evening edition of that news
paper: "The splendid gunboat Comela Is doing her
duty on the coast of Cuba. She has not been
destroyed by tbe Insurgents. The press of New
York haa again beeu deceived by the ties of tbe
Cuban secret sympathizers, who, by way of
Key West, send to the United States all kinds
of false reports,"
La Lucha publishes the ssme denial as
official, which relieves It of any responsibility
tn case the authorities are In the wrong. How
ever, the Cobanshere hare ratified tho news. It
came tn Havana through a trustworthy Cuban
agent.
Tbat tbe town of Cayamos, where the gunboat
Is said to hare been blown up, surrendered to
the Insurgents and was destroyed Is bsyond any
question. If the Spaniards stilt Insist that the
gunboat was not destroyed 1st them produce
her. Thla would apparently be more difficult
for them to do than to produce the body of
Maeeo. Tbe principal fact tbat haa confirmed
the report of the death of the Cuban leader Is
that there hare been no evidences of bis exist
ence stnoe the engagement at Punta Brava. In
tbe same way the fate of the Comet will be
confirmed If she was destroyed. Admiral
Navarro waa so angry over the news that he
said yesterday t
" I will order the Cometa to enter Havana
harbor with all her flags flying and salnte
Morro Castle with twenty shots." Time will
show whether Admiral Navarro Is playing a
game of bluff.
In Brujo, Pinar del Rio province, a hot en
gagement lasting four hours was fonghton
Friday, In which the Cubans nnmbered more
than 2,000 men. In Bagua another engagement
of Importance has occurred. In which the
Spanish Captain Carreras suffered heavy losses
and the Cubans lost three well-known leaders,
Estaollaa. Joso Roque, and Pedro Nodarse.
Near Victoria de las Tones another encounter
Is reported between Csllxto Garcia and the
Spaniards, In which a Cuban victory Is beyond '
any doubt. The Spaniards confess to eighty
seven killed, which la an extraordinary admit,
slon In an official report. Artillery was used on
both sides, and It Is said that Garola also em
ployed explosives.
News of famine comes from Caynjabos, In
Plnar del Bio. Eighty families were brought to
that town nearly dead from starvation.
Around Havana, and even In the poor char
ters of tbe city, famine Is spreading also, ana It
the destruction of all the country continues, as
Weyler Intends, the misery of the once rich
cspltal of Cuba will attract the attention of the
world. Theepldemloof smallpox Is augment
ing. The cases number .1,200 to-day.

Havana, Jan. 24. The marine authorities
here Ignore the Cometa affair. The military
authorities profess to know nothing of the mat
ter. From other than official sources It Is
learned, however, tbat the reports tbat have
already reached the Untied States concerning
tbe loss of tbe gunboat are probably correct.
The official reports Issued to-day give the
details of a number of engagements between
Government forces and Insurgents In the prov
inces of Santa Clara, Havana, Matantas, and
Plnar del Rio. According to these reports the
troops were uniformly victorious. The Insur
gent losses In the various engagements aro
placed at thirty-seven killed, a large number
wounded, and two captured. The Insurgent
camps, prefeoturas, and over 100 hats were
dettroyed. Many families wno had taken
refuge In the woods vero found by tho troops
and taken Into the towns.
The Spaniards say their lottet were four
killed, and a Lieutenant-Colonel, three Cap
tains, three Lieutenants, and sixty-one privates
more ur less severely wounded.
Notwithstanding tho recent reports of the
"pacification" of Plnar del Rio, the official re.
ports show that the greater number nf the en-
fakement referred to took place In that prov
nee, which Is pretty gmt evidence that the
Insurgents are still conducting their operations
there.
The most Important nf tbe several fights tnnk
fines near Guinea, province of Havana, where
he troops met Insurgent bands led by Castillo
and Uelgodo.

bouts. Not fifteen minutes before she had
looked It up after seeing that everything was In
order, and now there were footsteps and also
sounds of runutng water. Bhe did not stop to
wonder what It was, but went to see. In the
next house she found a man hard at work cut
ting the water pipes In the cellar. The water
was gushing out of the cut pipes and rapidly
flooding tho place. Mrs. Oavln placed her hands
on her hips and looked at the man. He glanced
once In her direction and then proceeded with
his work.
" It's a nloe Job you're making of It," said Mrs,
Gavin.
"Yes, I gnets It will be," said tbe man, cutting
another pi je.
"And who are you, If I may ask ?" Questioned
Mrs. Oavln. ,
"A plumber."antwered the man tersely.
"Welt, they be plumbers and plumbers, but
you'ro the worst I ever saw," remarked Mrs.
Gavin. " Who sent) ou?"
The plumber shifted his quid to his other
cheek. Jerked oat another section of lead pipe,
spat on th" floor nnd got a plank lo stand on be
cause hi- feet were getting wet.
"McLaughlin, the plumber. In 126th street,
ssnt me u remove the pipes," he finally an
swered. "Oh, he did. did bo!" said Mrs. Oavln. "And
how did you get In 1" She took a couple of steps
toward him and be retreated three stops, there
by stepping off bis plank Into the water, which
was cow nearly an Inch deep.
" I rang the bell and no one answered, and, as
tbe door was open, I walked In," he answered.
Mrs. Gavin's eyes sparkled with righteous
wrath. She started for him, nnd. laying a heavy
band on his collar. Jerked him oft his fret.
" You're a thief," said she. " and a lying thief
at that," and each word she emphasized by
slashing him around In tbe water. After she
had reduced him to the condition of a wet rut
sbe began calling "Pol Ice I" and dragged him
out Into the areaway. A pollorman came alone
and took him to I he station, where he described
himself as Waller Lewis, 02 years old, no ad
dress. He nas arraigned before Magistrate
Brannln tbe Yorkvllle Police Conrt se.terday,
and was remanded. The house was damaged to

In tbe debate wblch followed Mr, Bocb, also a
Vlce-Pretldentof tbe Medloo-Legal Society, re
peated statements on the subject previously
made by him ln publto and positively asserted
that he himself knew of two cases where pa
tients had been killed. One case was whero a
child was dying of membraneous croup, and the
father, with the permission nf the attending
phtalclan. administered an opiate which ended
the Utile one's sufferings. The other rase was
that of a child born with certain organs miss
ing, and where death would have ensued from
mortification In a short tlmo. Here liwaa the
physician who terminated the child's life and
saved It from ustolu suffering.
Mr. llorh contended tbat It these deaths wsre
not Justifiable then the execution of murderers
was not Justifiable and waa murder Just as

A. Mtery That Bhe Hnst Crossed the Allan,
tie SO Tjnsea and Urn Never Missed a
Trip on the l-ssennla-Balst lo Have Left
Her Fortune tn the I.uenntn'e OHeere,
Chicago, Jan, 24,-Mra, Elijah Carson, a lover
of the sea, died on Friday night at Anamota,
Ia. She hnd crossed the ocean 280 timet, and It
It said had never missed a trip on the Lucanla
since that vossel was In service. For thirty
yoars Mrs. Carton has been travelling acrots
the Atlantic on the Cunard line.
Mrs. Carton was the wife of Samuel Carson of
Belfast. Her name was Newell before her mar
riage, and her brother, William B, Newell, was
a millionaire of Nashville, Tenn. Bhortly after
tliodijithof her husband In 1804, Mrs. Carton,
accompanied by her daughter Elizabeth, came
to America to visit her brother.
This was Mrs. Carson's first ocean trip and
was the beginning of her Infatuation for the
sea. Mr. Nowelt prevailed upon her to remain
lu America and on his deathbed bequeathed to
her a half million dollars.
This Inheritance gave Mrs. Carson ample
means to permit the Indulgence of her ecoentrlo
deslro to be continually on tbe water. It was ln
the year 180(1 that Mrs. Canon was first at
liberty to follow her penchant. She left her
young daughter tn the hands of friends
and took her second trip to Belfast.
She returned In a few weeks, saw that her child
was In safe hand, and from that time on until
alio was seized with her last Illness a month
seldom passed In which she did not take a voy
age across the Atlantic.
In the year 1883 Mrs, Carson's daughter was
married tu Julius Ilohrbach, a travelling man
of Chicago. Mrs. Carson then fett tbat she had
no more family ties which would restrain her
from keeping continually on the eea. Since 1880
her entire time has been spent In her voyages.
Mrs. Carson had a strong affection for (.'apt.
McKay and all tho officers of the l.uranla,
and remembered them In ber will. It
la said that C'apu McKay will receive
550.000, and the subalterns sums proportionate
to the esteem In whloh she held them. The ex
act terms nf the will, however, cannot be
learned, as the document was filed at Belfast.
Mrs. Larson was well known In Chicago.
About two years ago her sondn-law, Julius
Ilohrbach, by tho advico of his wife, made an
effort to restrain Mrs. Carson from taking any
more trips across the ocean.
While sbe waa stopping atthe hotel hero on a
visit to her daughter Mr. Ilohrbach went be
fore a court and asked for the appointment of a
guardian, making the statement tbat Mrs.
Carsun hail alreuds spent $.ioU,000 in her sea
voyages and that unless a stop was put to It her
entire fortune would be spent.
Mrs. Carson violently fought this legal move,
bhe announced that alio would submit to no
restraint, and that If her son-in-law dared to
Interfere with her liberty she would cut him off
without a cent.
This so alarmed Mr. Ilohrbach and
his wife that the proceedings were dropped
and Mrs. Carson was permitted to re
sume her Journeilngs. The Inoldent. how
ever, had made an Impression on her mind,
for on her next vise to Belfast she
made and had placed nn record a will In which
sbe gave only S 1.000 lo her daughter, I2A.O0O
to her banker al Belfast, and 126,000 to her
agent III Jsow York cltr, and tbe remainder of
hrr fortune to tho officers and crew of the
Lucanla.
Mrs, Carton mado her last voyage across tbe
Atlantic live weeks ago. On the trip
out from Liverpool she was seized with
pneumonia, and when the steamer reached
New York she was falling rapidly, bhe was
taken to a hotel woere she remained two days,
wheu her daughter, Mrs. Rnbrbacbof Anamosa,
la., arrived and took her West.
Mr. and Mrs. Ruhrbaoh arrived this evening
from. Iowa, with Mrs. Carson's body. They
wore on their war to Nashville, Tenn where
the Intermeut will lake Place. Mr. Carson was
74 years old.
