1 RIOT IN WALLINGFORD
(Continued from First Page.)
not be reached by telephone. Captain
Hall of Company K of the Second regi
ment, which Is a Wallingford company,
was attempting to Quiet the mob and
tried to muster his) company, but it Is
said that he could get but three mem
bers. The mob yelled tauntingly to
Deputy Sheriff Booth, "Yes, call out the
militia; they are on our side."
Finally Captain Hall, Deputy Sheriff
Booth and some of the law-abiding cit
izens decided to take heroic measures.
They therefore formed a double line as
a guard and told the X.av and Order
men that they could pass out through
this double line, which would protect
them from the mob. The besieged men
accordingly came out of the stable and
started. But they had gone only about
forty feet from the barn when the
guards were brushed aside and then
for a half mile the Law and Order men
were compelled to run the gauntlet.
Stones and clubs rained upon them by
the howling mob, but finally they elud
ed their tormentors, receiving no seri
ous Injuries, only some bad bruises
which will make them sore and lame
for some time.
-" While besieged in the barn the Law
and Order men kept their revolvers in
their hands ready to defend themselves
In. case of a rush on their fortress, and
during their esqape they carried drawn
revolvers, but fortunately refrained
from firing, despite the great provoca
tion. ' Because of the riot, by request of
Justice Judd the liquor found in the
blind tiger was not confiscated, and
only enough was taken for evidence.
Secretary Thrasher last night refused
to give the names of the six men ar
rested In Wallingford and also refused
to give the names of the seven detec
tives who with Messrs. Beach and Me
Claire composed the raiding party. He
said that he had been informed that
some of the Wallingford officers and
citizens have the names of the ring
leaders of the mob and that he would
go to Wallingford this morning, secure
these names and then go at once to
Hartford, where he would lay the mat
ter before the governor, Mr. Thrasher
said: "If there Is a law in Connecticut
to apply in this case it will be applied,
or I will know the reason why. The
same thing was tried on us when we
made the big raid at Meadow's End
not long ago, but the crowd there was
not large eiiough to do what was done
by the Wallingford mob to-day. I was
warned before the raiding party went
to Wallingford that there would be
trouble there. , I wish to say that the
warden, constables, Captain Hall and
several citizens did all they could to
quell the riot, but I understand that
one policeman sided with the mob.
That raid was perfectly legal. The
men have commissions from the gov
ernor, given under the terms of the
charter of the Law and Order league,
passed by the legislature, and they
were in the performance of their duty
when they were attacked by the mob.
They had to submit to that danger
while doing their duty, and it is a won
der they were not killed. Yes, sir, after
1 go to Wallingford I am going right to
the governor as fast as a train will car
ry me, and see what can be done."
(By Associated Press.)' ", ,"
Wallingford, Oct. 16. Never has this
borough been excited as it has been to
day. It was occasioned by a raid made
by the Law and Order league, and at
one time a riot seemed imminent. In
fact, it is asserted that the raiding offi
cers pulled their revolvers on the as
sembled crowd, and. it is known that
one timid person among the assembled
numbers asked that the military be
called out, but this last demand was not
complied with and the matter finally
wound up without any bloodshed, but,
according to the statement of Secretary
Thrasher of New Haven, will result in
interesting developments.
According to Secretary Thrasher,
there have been several violations of
the Sunday law, which have been ig
nored by the local authorities, and as
ej. sequence a number of the prominent
prohibitionists- assembled and decided
to invoke the assistance of the State
Law and Order league. As the results
of the efforts made by the local people
Secretary Thrasher met Dwight Tuttle,
the prosecuting attorney, with the re
sult that Justice Judd of the borough
swore out three complaints. The raid
to-day was made upon Denny Rogers,
at the corner of . Center and Colony
streets, and besides the bartender sev
eral persons were found drinking in the
place and they were put under arrest.
The raid was made about 9 o'clock this
morning under the auspices of Agent
McClaire, who conducted the noted Mil
ford raid and others in several parts
of the state. The time proved very In
opportune, for when the fact was made
known it required but a short while
when fully five hundred people gather
ed about the saloon and the so-called
"spotters" were hissed and hooted and
treated so boisterously that when
Agent McClaire came out he thought it
was necessary for protection to- draw
his revolver, but no violence was at
tempted, though the crowd did not hes
itate to express their opinion of "spot
ters." Agent McClaire and his deputies
finally reached the livery stable of Mr.
Booth, and inasmuch as the crowd fol
lowed the Law and Order league men,
Mr. Booth, who is a deputy sheriff, felt
obliged to read the riot act. The story
can be briefly told by saying that Wal
lingford was more than excited. There
was no clash of authority, and there
will be more than sensational court de
velopments If Secretary Thrasher keeps
good his promise. The several persons
caught In the saloon were each held
under $25 bonds for appearance in the
local court to-morrow.
FELL IN AN EPILEPTIC FIT.
John Mullen Caused Commotion on
Orange Street.
A man who later gave the name of
John Mullen fell in an epileptic fit at
the corner of Orange and Bishop
etreets yesterday afternoon. He was
surrounded by a large crowd and the
police wagon was summoned and he
was taken to police headquarters. He
revived somewhat there and gave a
street and number where he said he
Jived. He was taken ther In the police
wagon, but the people of the house
claimed not to know ifim. He was
taken back to the police station, where
he said he lived on Rosette street and
was able to walk home. Ho was al
lowed to go.
HASHISH OUSTS OPIUM.
Disappearance of the Old-Time Opium
Joints Their Former Frequenters
Now Take Hashish Effects of the
Drug It Annihilates Time and Space
Gives a Man Blissful Moments, But
at the Expense of Health.
"Fill this prescription as quickly as
as you can, please. I'll take It here
with a little soda."
The speaker was a short, fat, young
man, whose face was bloated and bad
ly splotched, while his eyes wera
streaked with alternate red and yellow.
His expression was soddenly dull. As
he handed the piece of paper on which
the prescription was written across the
counter his hand shook violently.
The proprietor of the little Sixth ave
nue drug store in which the young man
stood read carefully the prescription.
Evidently it was a genuine one, for he
nodded assent, and turned to the long
stretches of Latin-labelled bottles be
hind him. One long, slender vial waa
soon in hia grasp. It contained an
opaque liquid of a dark and sinister
green color. Reaching for a gradua
ting glas3 the druggist poured out a
small quantity and was about to trans
fer it to a tiny goblet when the bloated
young man, whose congested eyes had
assumed an evanescent brilliancy, re
strained him with an impatient excla
mation: "Don't," he cried eagerly, "don't
waste time give it to me at once."
In a twinkling the liquid, which emit
ted a strong and disagreeable odor, re
turned the graduating glass and
drained a goblet of soda which tha
druggist thrust into his trembling
hand.
"Give me back the prescription, doc
tor," said the customer, as he paid for
the drug and began to totter . feebly
from the shop, "I'll be in. for another
dos.e this evening."
Outside the drugstore the young man
sought the support of a convenient
lamp-post, against which he leaned for
a minute or two. Then straightening
up, and a most wonderful transforma
tion took place. : All evidences of de
creptitude vanished. The sodden dull
ness of his expression disappeared and
was. replaced, by keen sensibility and
intelligence. His baggy form seemed
to undergo alterations arid to conform
more closely with those lines of phy
sique which one would naturally ex
pect to find in a person of his youth
and development. This metamorpho
sis complete, away, he started at a
brisk pace and was soon ingulfed by
the hurrying throng of passers-by.
"Jekyl and Hyde," murmured the re
porter who had witnessed the transfor
mation and foregoing .Incidents.
"What is the matter with that young
man alcohollism?"
"No," replied the druggist, as he re
turned the bottle of green fluid to Its
shelf, ."he is one of New York's thou
sands of hashish eaters. Hashish, aa
yoj perhaps know," he continued di
dactically, "is a preparation of . hemp
professionally known as Canabis Indi
ca. It is a narcotic, further reaching
in its pernicious influences than any
form of opium you may name, indeed
it has succeeded opium in the favor of
those who are constantly in search of
new sensations.
"Ten years ago New York was filled
with opium dens, many of which were
palatial. Fortunes were expended in
fitting out a single joint, in creating a
fairyland-like environment to corres
pond with the roseate visions supposed
to visit those who hypnotized them
selves with the fumes ; of opium.
Where are those joints to-day? Where
are .those exclusive dens that catered
to patrons who wished to indulge the
vice in assured and luxurious seclu
sion? They have disappeared one and
all. Only miserable, filthy joints in side
streets and remote purlieus are now
running.
It is not that a wave of reformation
has swept the high-class places away,
but the one-time frequenters and sup
porters of exclusive opium joints have
undergone a change of affections.
They have taken up hashish as a
means of more thoroughly satiating
their appetites.
"Many of the opium eaters who have
discarded that narcotic for hashish are
men of keen sensibilities. Some are
men of a high order of intellect and in
telligence. It is to such persons that
the effects of hashish appeal with
greatest fascination. It distorts the
fancy far more than opium, and the
imagery begot of it when first used is
more kaleidoscopic and "pleasing than
any form of opium gives.
"It has been contended by an astute
philosopher that true happiness will
only be possible when time and space
are abolished. Well, this is what
hashish temporarily accomplishes. It
svxeeps from the mind all idea of chro
nological division; it eliminates the
appreciation of space, and conquers
geographical distances in the mind of
the eater with electrical rapidity. So
time and space, mentally no longer in
existence, the budding hashish eater
finds that all things of earth contrib
ute to his pleasure and that life is one
long reign of ecstatic joy. A wonder
ful metamorphosis takes place in fa
miliar surroundings. A tiny ball-room
expands into a vast palace of marvel
ous beauty; a rubbish-filled back yard
becomes a tropical garden. A street
is no longer a mere tumultuous thor
oughfare, it is a papulous world. But
that, remember, is only in the hashish
eater's novitiate,, when the drug ap
peals most entirely to his mental facul
ties. Habitual use makes it a physical
need or craving, and then the halluci
nations, less picturesque and pleasing,
often end in hideous, terrorizing vis
ions which drive the victim into the
madhouse or the grave."
"Do you know of any hashish joints
in New York?" asked the reporter.
"I have heard there are two or
three," answered the druggist, "but
certain peculiar properties of the drug
narcotic make such places unnecessa
ry. When a man first begins to eat
hashish he finds he has no need to re
pair to a secluded place in order to
prevent friends and associates from
discovering the fact. He can load up
with a good-sized dose and go about
his usual employments without any
one being the wiser. There will be
nothing extraordinary in his actions
and he will conform strictly with the
usual routine of his daily movements.
In fancy he may be traversing the
wilds of Africa, may be gliding
through the skies in a balloon five
miles from earth, but, at the same
time, he is able to conduct a conver
sation with an unhashished friend
without betraying his visionary flights.
In fact, a man under the influence of
the narcotic figuratively, and frequent
ly consciously, leads a dual existence.
He is sufficiently aware of his physical
actions to separate them from the
ever-varying movements of his dis
torted fancy.
"One curious thing hashish does for
its victim is to deprive him of horizon.
As I said, he loses all appreciation of
space, and thus objectB at a distance
and those at hand have the same rela
tive value In his mind. Everything
appears to him In a beautiful vista,
whether ho contemplates actual and
physical occurrences or disports amid
the pleasures of fancy's realm.
, "A young friend of mine, who, as an
experiment, took a big dose of the
fluid extract, a form in which hashish
Is usually administered, told me that
within ten minutes he was amazed to
see the street suddenly broaden and
the houses fall away until the horizon
became vague and finally altogether
indeterminate. He also imagined that
his movements were impeded by a re
markable slowness which he was pow
erless to overcome, Btrlve as he would.
After many years of travel, according
to his distorted imagination and loss of
chronological sense, my young friend
arrived at the grounds in the rear of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory and sat down to rest. He was
perfectly aware of his' locality, but
was very much surprised to find that
the aspect of things had greatly al
tered since a previous visit. The
shrubbery, formerly of a very uninter
estlne character, had given place to
brllliant-hued tropical foliage, and the
paths which once were made of com
, mon gravel now were filled with beau
I tiful precious stones which glanced
1 and glittered with a thousand irides
cent lights. It struck him as some
thing very similar that the -.municipal
authorities should have become so
prodigal in public adornment, but, nev
ertheless, after surreptitious glances to
make certain he was unobserved, he
improved the opportunity to load hl3
pockets with diamonds, pearls, rubies,
sapphires, opals and topazes.
"Shortly after acquiring this treas- '
ure he fled to Japan in his mind and
remained there some two or three
years studying the customs and habits
of the people.. This journey he subse
quented with a tour of Europe, finish- j
ing up in Parts for purposes education
al. He took in Africa on his way
home to the United States, and inci
dentally visited Khartoum to learn the
mysteries of that late Dervish strong
hold and render valuable assistance to
the British army by reporting his ob
servations. "In the meantime he was fully con
scious that a part of him was sitting
j on a bench in the rear of the museum,
' and it occasioned him no surprise to
find himself there once more in the
, whole. Recollecting an engagement to
call on a young woman, and feeling
confident that that social duty could be
performed without betraying his hyp
notized condition, he left the gtounds
and repaired to her home. Some
months after his admission to the re-'
ception room the young woman en
tered, and he rose to acknowledge her
presence with a bow. It took him sev-
eral mental days to accomplish this
simple ceremony, but his dual con
i sciousness advised him that he did it
with the proper physical dispatch.
For several weeks they talked, and my
young friend was beginning to specu
late as to how many more would elapse
before it would be good form for him
to take his departure, when suddenly
and to his great dismay he seemed to
rise from his chair and sail upward to
: the ceiling. Attaining this very unu
I sual position for a well-conducted
I youth unused to acrobatic exercise, his
dismay gave way to astonishment, for
. he found himself looking down on him
self, that is, his astral body was sus
pended in mid-air and contemplating
his physical body, which remained
erect and sedate in a chair and con
versed with the young woman on topi
cal things in the most ordinary way.
"Now, the physical body was aware
of the extraordinary actions of the as
tral body and became uneasy, as it
feared the young woman might look
aloft and discover the astral body
floating about her cornices and playing
the part of an eavesdropper. It was
also worried for fear the astral body
might not come down in time to ac
company the physical body home. But
that strange consciousness that pro
tects the hashish eater from divulging
his real condition came to his rescue,
and thus assured, he talked on and on
as if things were normal. - 1
"The astral body did eventually
abandon the cornices and take itr place
inside the physical body. This accom
plished, my friend concluded to run no
rish of a separation while the young
woman was around and tiok his de
parture. He returned to my shop by a
long and devious mental route which
embraced most of the geographical
points not included In his first journey
abroad. When he arrived, he called
for a neutralizer. He waited patiently,
he said afterward, for a week or so,
but I heeded him not. A second time
he demanded relief, and waited many
days with the same negative results.
He repeated his demands five or I six
times, until I had to beg of him to de
sist, for he was tumbling them out In
a convoluted string which gave no
opening for a reply.- But he was not
aware how rapidly he spoke, so well in
hand did the hashish have him by that
time. . -
"I gave him a large dose of lemon
juice, which is a good neutralizer of
hashish, and soon he was once more
mentally clear. Then from his pockets
I dumped the gravel which he had
amassed at the grounds In the rear of
the museum and sent him home to
sleep. There were no consequent evil
effects and seldom are after the first
dose of the narcotic.
"Some men who use hashish regular
ly and who come under my observa
tion are excited to pugnacity by the
drug. Others, and, indeed, the majori
ty, sink into dreamy contemplation, in-

cline to motiveless gayety or maudlin
sensibility. Nearly all habitual hash
ish eaters become unnaturally active
und restless. In the last stages a
drowsy stupor is characteristic, also
restless muscular movements, more or
less Insensibility to pain and touch,
and very often impaired power of lo
comotion. Hashish carries with it a
voracious desire for food. The invari
able physical, end is blotched and
bloated faces, congested eyes, and
weak and tremulous limbs. It gradu
ally paralyzes both mental and physi
cal energies, and is far more difficult to
cure than the opium habit.
"Hashish is a poison, and is sold only
by prescription. But you know how
easy it is to obtain a prescription for
anything in New York, and how easy
it is for any person with a smattering
of Latin to sit down and write one
which, having the appearance of genu
ineness, the druggist cannot refuse to
fill.
"Several of the confirmed hashish
eaters who come to my shop," conclu
ded the druggist, "have fallen slaves to
the drug through constantly using it to
allay neuralgic pains. There are hun
dreds of sufferers in New York whose
only relief from this most unbearable
of all pains is hashish, and so they soon
contract the habit which is seldom re
linquished until inevitable death or
madness claims them." New York

ARTIFICIAL EYES.
The Lancet publishes some curious
facts with regard to the number of
false eyes, which are turned out annu
ally by different factories in Germany
and Prance. The total of these orna
mental appendages made in the Ger
man empire is said to amount to the
enormous total of two millions yearly;
and, at the same time, one French fac
tory, out of many, makes three hun
dred thousand In the same pe
riod. But we must not jump to the
conclusion that these figures indicate
in any way the number of human be
ings who have been deprived of the
sight of one eye, for the artificial eyes
include those , used by wax-figure
makers, by taxidermists, and even by
the doll manufacturers. It is note
worthy that the totally blind never
wear false eyes. The person who has
been deprived of the sight of one eye
sees his disfigurement whenever he
looks into a glass, and his aesthefic
sense or perhaps his vanity leads
him to make good the deficiency In the
best way he can. In the case of the
wholly blind such feelings die out, or
are submerged in the Immensity of
their loss. Chamber's Journal.
REVENUES OF THE CITY OF LON
' DON.
Limited as is the extent of the
ancient city of London, its revenues
are on a vast and lordly scale. An
abstract account of the produce and
expenditure of the City's estate com
monly called "City's cash" for the
year ending December 81, 1897, showed
that the receipts amounted to 1,015,
257 14s. 5 l-2d. The expenditure
amounted to 1,004,048 9s. 7d. The ac
counts form a printed volume of 323

RAID ON ASHMTJN STREET.
Patrolmen Taylor and Recor of the
Dixwell avenue station yesterday morn
ing made a raid on Patrick Lee's sa
loon at 166 Ashrpun street. They found
four men drinking bottled beer in S.
room just over the saloon. When the
policemen entered the men attempted
to throw the beer out of the window.
The facts will be made known to the
prosecuting attorney. ; .
MODERN WARFARE.
Omdurman has taught us a fearful
lesson of the possibilities of modern
warfare, it may be said that the Der
vishes threw 'their lives away by im
petuous onslaught, and that no civili
zed power would have exposed its sol
diers to a fire such as was faced by the
Khalifa's brave followers; but the aw
ful destructiveness of new weapons has
nevertheless received a lasting and
biKud-curdling proof. The Lyddite
shells, Maxin guns, and repeating rifles
of to-day may to-morrow be discarded
for instruments still more diabolical
in their power of destroying human
life. The next Europen conflagation,
the first encounter of two civilized na
tions under new conditions, will be a
stupendous revelation some of the
effects of which have already been
foreshadowed by Omdurman-4as to the
import of the vast system of military
organization which has been forced
upon the rival powers of the west. We
shall find the combatants handling,
colossal armies such as have never
before been put in the field; and with
this multiplication of war materials
will come an increased strain on the
tactical genius of those in supreme
command. .
These huge numbers will bring fresh
complications in their train. The
points of simultaneous attack or de
fence will be largely increased, and it
will become more difficult than ever
to keep the threads in the mind of
one directing intelligence. With in
creased numbers must be reckoned the
formidably augumented difficulty of
transport and the provision of an ade
quate medical staff. Then it must be
remembered that these stupendous
armies will be provided with weapons
which are being rendered more deadly
year by year; that they will fire out of
machine guns and repairing rifles pro
jectiles and bullets against which no
ordinary means of shelter are proof
and which inflict wounds that no sur
gical skill can remedy. To expose
troops to this leaden storm - would
mean instant annihilation; a charge of
the Light Brigade under modern condi
tions would be an impossible feat
neither horse nor trooser could get
within three hundred yards of the
enemy's lines.
War will, in fact, be a game of chess.
An elaborate series of manoeuvres will
lead up to a possibly bloodless victory.
The most skilful strategist will win the
day by sheer military science. No
general will dare to place a battalion
within range of the enemy's guns. ft.
hideous mistake on the part of a com
manding, officer would result in a car
nage that might instantly annihilate a
regiment; and by a blunder of the staff
the entire forces of a nation might be
wiped out of existence in ten minutes.
That is ihe appalling prospect which
stares civilization in the face to-day.
