Smith, 22 vears old, who lived at 68 West . One Hundredth street. He drank carbolic acid last evening and died before an arubnlance surgeon, who v as summoned immediately, arrived. Smith began smoking two y f are" ago, ".and th e h abi t g o t s u ch a hold on lnn that he smoked incessantly, and for several weeks smoked iu bed each night, only falling into a doze for a few hours in the early morning. ' In an effort to break the habit he abstained from smoking for a whole day, bat he became "de lerious and the family physi cian adyisod that the reform be accomplished gradu lly. The young man, however, was too weak to follow this course and smoked more than' ever. Hf was apparantly cheerful last night at the prospect of return ing to work to day. He went out however, and bought some carbolic acid. He told h's moth er, with a smile, that, it was only a little medicine. Then he went into the parlor, closed the door and swallowed the poison. His father heard him groan, found him and summoned assistance, but in vain. A happy mm k tby mm. Ml Court Calendar. There will be a.

Col. D. P. eap. chief of the government corps of engineer, with head quarters in Wilmington, has been notified of the predicament in which the crew are placed, and he in turn has notified the Board of County Commissioners of Wayne county that arrangements must be made at once so the boat can pass.
