Both bought it at drugstores in the city without showing, a physician's certificate, which the laws requires. . . The dead man was J. J. "Hancock, who has been the proDrfetor of Rwm.i restaurants here. Hancock had a room in West College street. . He went there Sunday night and took about :two ounces of laudanum; whether Ignorant of what its effects would be or with the purpose of destroying his life is not known., , But when John , Brooks,, a ne gro, went to waken Hancock he. found the man; in- a heavy stupor. He shook him energetically : but could not bring the sleeper back to consciousness. Then he told Mr. Leland . Fnllam who promptly sent for the, doctors. Drs. iJallard and' Burroughs resDonded. They , succeeded in awakening Hancock. tie admitted taking laudanum and bromidia. Hancock suffered considera bly and last night died. . Hancock was 51 years void and leaves a wife.

The body was taken to Brown's under taking establishment and funeral ar rangements j will be made today. Earl Smith, a young married man liv ing on South Main street with his wife and two small children, was the other laudanum victim. Smith had been off on a spree and was in a nervous condition bordering on delirium. He purchased a bottle of laudanum at a city drug store, went home and swallowed the contents. Dr. E. C. Stamps was summoned and after several hours of the use -of heroic measures was able to say that Smith Dr. Burroughs and Dr. Starnesare indignant over the f actr tfiat.; the men Obtained the poisonous-drug without, a physician's order. .Drs. Burroughs says it-? Is flotahe-nrst case of -. its kind that has cjpmeto , his" no'tioe'. ' He declated that a young man '- of the ' name "of Gepw,WIllisL.of Cainbridge, Ohio; died frdnv an oveTddie of morphine, which drug he obtained at a city drug store. Dr. Burrdughs said he would 'bring the matter before the county medical so ciety for action. ", Dr. Starnes was equally emphatic. He said: ' 'Heretofore we ,have had some men in drug stores of such low consideration that we might expect them to sell narcotic drugs without a physician's certificate. But in this case it was a surprise to me now to find on the table a bottle on. which was - the label of a drug store that I had always considered "first class. I know, too, of other cases, and so do my fellowTphysi- cans. I would like to ask how long the pharmaceutical association will allow such violatons of the law? If it does not take measures to correct the abuse the medical fraternity will have to take the matter in its own hands. " EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE Four Men Torn to Fragments at Reading.
