Evidence That the Drug Was Sw: lowed Inadvertently and With- out Suicidal Intent. Dr. Thomas McAleer Wehrly, the North- €ast Washington druggist, who took an overdose of morphine in his store, corner cf H and 3d streets, as published in yester- ¢ay'’s Star, died at Providence Hospital shortly after 8 o’cleck tast night, without having recovered consciousness. Today his bedy was prepared for burial by an un- dertaker, and removed to the home of his sister, No. 76 I street northwest, from where the funeral will take place. It is apparent from a statement previous- ly made by the decease that he did not take the drug with suicidai intent. As stated yesterday, the man was «.ddicted to the morphine habit, and was doubtless the victim of imprudence When handling poison for customers, druggists are very careful, as a rule, as a prominent druggist remarked to a Star reporter this morning, but when they handle it for themselves they are extremeiy caveless. Such, he said, was the trouble with Dr. Wehrly, who, in- stead of weighing out the drug, had simpiy emptied some of it from the bottle in his hand and swallowe it. To his nephew, Mr. Lonis Boulay, Dr. Wehrly said he had taken the morphine, and he believed he had taken tao much. It was after he had made this statement that the nephew went for a. doctor, but when he returned his uncle was not con- scious, and there was nothiag that could be done to save him. Had Many Friends. ‘The deceased had a great many friends in this city, as well as in York, Pa., where he spent his boyhood days, and in In- diana, where many of his relatives reside. He was one of the few men who had the distinction of having seen what it was supposed would-be his own grave, so that he is now legally dead for the second time, The records of the states of Ohio and In- diana show that about twenty-five years ago he died-a violent death, and that his body had been interred in an Indiana cem- etery. The story of his supposed death. burial and resurrection was printed in The Star soon after the occurrence. | At that time, Dr. Wehrly was managing Dr. Daniel B. Clarke’s drug business at Pennsylvania avenue and 4% street, and when there was to be a family reunion at the home of relatives in Indiana, he de- cided he would be one of the number to sit at the banquet table and enjoy himself. He had not drawn his salary for nearly a year, it is stated, and when he was ready to leave he drew his back pay and started for Indiana. It so happened that at that time there was some reason why trains were not run on Sunday in the state of Ohio, and when he reached Cincinnati it was Saturday night. Much to his surprise and disappointment, he learned that he weuld have to remain in Cincinnati over Sunday, and as this would make him late for the reunion, he decided to remain there several days. Being a stranger in the city, he had to devise some means for his own entertainment, and he thought a fishing trip would help him pass the time away. He soon managed to make the acquaint- ance of one of Walton's descendants, and when two lines and the other necessary fishing material had been purchased, the pair started out to enjoy the day on the river. Case of Worse Luck. Just what luck they had at fishing isnot known, but the druggist’s luck in another direction caused him a great amount of trouble. When they had fished most of the day, and the sun was about disappearing behind a distant hill, Dr. Wehrly thought he would take a swim. It so happened that the doctor’s companion on this occz- sion was a scedy-looking individual of the tramp order, just such a man as might be found about a river, reddy to make new friends, and willing to do anything for a day's outing. In the water they went, their clothes being deposited in two heaps on the bank of the river. Dr. Wehrly did not notice that his tramp friend had left the water until long after he had actually gene, and when he went ashore to dress he was astonished to find that only the tramp’s wearing apparel had been ieft. He had donned the doctor's clothes and depart- ed, as he supposed, a full-fledged gentle- man. The doctor stood there and looked at the seedy garments and wondered what he should do. It was true his new friend had indulged in a little liquor, and the doctor would have thought it an honest mistake had it not been that he had been in the water long enough to cool off and have the effects of the liquor washed away, as it were. But One Thing to Do. There was no alternative. He was a stranger in a strange place, and he feared he would not be taken in except in the wrong way, for the garb of a tramp, he thought, was enough to insure his arrest. And so he put on the tramp’s garments and walked boldly to the hotel where he had stopped and asked for his valise. Explana- tions would not be heard from a man who Presented such an appearance, and he was virtually driven from the hotel. The tramp, in the meantime, had called for and re- ceived the doctor’s valise. Without money or friends, and making such an appearance that evea the boys on the streets would hardly notice him, the dector started to tramp to Indiana, not caring to annoy his relatives by telegraph- ing for money. Ahead of him on the road was his tramp friend, and the fellow met with a fatal accident. A railroad train struck him, and while his face and body were distigured, there were the unmistak- able evidences of identity on him. Letters found in his pockets addressed to “I. M. Wekrly" made it appear that the dead man was the Washington druggist. Then his clothes were recognized as those worn by the druggist when he left here, and the finding of the valise made the identification certain. Instead cf making happy the many members of his family by appearing at the family reunion, the body was shipped there, and there was a scene of sorrow instead of one of joy. An undertaker's wagon instead of a family carriage was sent to the depot, and the body was taken to a cemetery and interred, while the sor- rowing relatives stood about the grave and mourned their loss. A few days later there was a sensation caused by the arrival of the supposed dead member of the family, and tears of joy fol- lowed those of sorrow. Mr. Wehrly, father of the deceased, had often related this story to friends while he was employed here in the government printing office. The father has now been dead for several years. a Overcome by Fire Damp. Two colored men were overcome by fire damp and a third slightly affected at Hy- attsville while digging a well upon the property of F. Tubbins of this city. Beal Mathews was being drawn to the top when he became unconscious. The bucket tilted with him, and he fell fully fifty feet, receiving internal injuries, the extent of which are not fully known. A men named Robinson, Mathews’ assistant, went down the well for the purpose of recovering his employer, but was in turn overcome by the noxious vapor. A large crowd gathered at the scene of the accident, but no one seemed to know What to do. Finally a man named Diggs ventured down the well and succeeded in bringing the unfortunate men to the top. Diggs and Robinson were both very weak, but unharmed. Dr. G. A. Richardson attended Mathews, ard after some time revived him. He was sent to the Emergency Hospital in this city. —_———— Arrowsmith Delayed. The steamer Arrowsmith, from lower Potomac points with freight and pas- sengers, did not reach this city until 8:su o'clock this morning, although due to ar- rive at 3 o'clock. She had an immense amount of fruit freight, and was com- pelled to abandon a part of her route. A telegram was sent to Superintendent C. W. Ridley asking that the Wakefield be sent to her assistance, which was done at 8 o'clock last night. In corsequence of this arrangement the Wakefield could not make her regular trip at 7 o'clock this morning. ‘This was covered by the Arrowsmith later. AMUSEMENTS. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. —— KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—Mile. | Variety of Items siathered West of Zittella, who is well known in connection with leading burlesque attractions, of which she was the “star,” will head her own organization at the opening of Ker- nan’s Lyceum rext Saturday evening. Zittella’s English Froliques, under her own direction, bid fair to prove a brilliant or- ganization, and will undoubtedly meet with as great success as other attractions with which she has been identified. Mlle. Zit- tella is a recognized artist and well equip- ped for the task she has imposed upon herself. Her company includes Ed Morris, the Bijou Comedy Trio, the Sisters Val- more, Joe Waldron, Teresa La Mar, Von Tilzer and Sidney, Ashton and Nowell, and is well adapted to interpret the first part, “Princess Chemise,” and the burlesque, “Coney Island,” Mile. Zittella’s original productions. THE MARQUIS OF MICHIGAN--Heat, in the abstract, or served up in Washing- ton’s usual disregard for mediocrity at any point, even including an ambitious point oa the thermometer, has served at least to test the qualities of our new and distin- guished visitor at the Columbia, ‘“‘The Mar- quis of Michigan,” whose grace of manner and ability to please won for him an in- terested and enthusiastic hearing on Mon- day night. It has also made manifest that this gentleman is as versatile as he is pieas- ing, and that the usual embarassments and slight delays attendant upon such appear- ances, due to nervousness, could be elimi- nated more naturally and easily than with which they had been interpolated. Robbed of those hesitancies the play made its ap- pearance last night in its true form, show- ing at its best. It plainly demonstra:ed that this comedy possesses all the quilities of success, being aided and abetted by that rare quality, refreshing originality, and more with that spirit and unction diseov- ering a novel sequence of comedy situa- tions which should preclude the possibility of failure. If the marquis does not attain @ continued series of successful debuts in our sister cities it will be because of the gross negligence or errors of some one other than those directly participating in his presentation. ——__ EXCURSIO: The Saturday excursions to Fortress Monroe, Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Ocean View via the Norfolk and Washing- ton Steamboat Company's steamers grow in popularity as the season advances. The fourth of these delightful trips by water will be made on the Newport News next Saturday, and, judging by the number of state rooms already engaged, the coming excursion will be even better patronized than the last. The sail down the Potomac and Chesapeake bay on one of the lux- urious boats of this line affords a good night's rest and every other comfort chat is provided on the first-class steamboats of today. After having spent Sunday at Virginia Beach or Ocean View, passengers take the boat again in the evening, which returns them home, thoroughly rested, in time for work Monday morning. Steamer leaves wharf, foot of 7th street, at 7 p.m., and arrives at other end of line early next morning. Ocean City, Md., is fast becoming one of the most popular of seaside resorts with. Washingtonians. Fully two hundred went down on the excursion last Saturday, and the hotels and boarding houses are all comfortably filled, besides all the cottages are eccupied except two. A personally cun- ducted excursion train leaves Baltimore and Ohio depot for Ocean City via bay Ridge every Saturday at 3 p.m. Passen- gers arrive at Ocean City at 7:30, and re- turn to Washington Sunday night at 10 p. m. The surf is considered the finest on the Atlantic coast, and the fishing is all that could be desired. Independent councils of the Junior 0. U. A. M. and of the Daughters of America will give a united excursion to River View on the fast steamer Samuel J. “Pentz to- morrow, and the members of the two pa- triotic orders are looking forward to hav- ing a good time. The Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and, judging from the advance sale of tickets, a large crowd will attend. All the numer- ous attractions at River View will be in operation for the entertainment of the vis- itors to the View, and there will be music and dancing all day on the cool and airy pavilion. Chris. Arth’s Orchestra will fur- nish the music for the dancmg. Those who attend are promised a good time by the committee in charge. There will be a merry party take posses- sion of Marshali Hall tonight. It is the oe- casion of the annual excursion of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Dominic’s Church. This society yearly scores a marked success in the annals of excursions, and the managers this time have made strenuous efforts that it may come up to, if not surpass, the attempts on previous dates. Of course, the object of the society is well known—to aid the poor and needy of the parish of St. Dominic's, and that worthy purpose alone would attract people enough who are glad to lend their presence to such a cause as to fill the steamer. Schroeder’s band will piay for the dancers and render selections on the steamer. One of the pleasantest outings of the year will undoubtedly take place on this trip, and it behooves all who care for fun and prefer a select party to make themselves one of the guests for tonight. The Macalester leaves at 6:30. Tomorrow, Thursday, the Macalester will play a double bill, as it were. The Cald- well Commandery, K. of P., will spend an evening at Marshall Hall, and thea the steamer will contirue on to Indian Head on her regular weekly run. Lots of friends of the Caldwell Commandery have been waiting for this occasion, and will make a big part of the crowd on the boat. Then the regular devotees of the Indian Head trip will have possession of the steamer cn her extended run down the river. Every- thing imaginable has been done by the committee of the Caldwells to provide their friends with a pleasurable outing, and from the bill that has been arranged there can be no doubt as to the success of the trip. Dancing and all the regular forms of en- tertainment at the Hall will be enjoyed, and from the time the Macalester gets to the wharf until it blows for the home trip there will not be one minute when plenty to occupy attention and amuse at the same time, will be lacking. The Macalester leaves on this double trip, to the Hall, ard the extra run to Indian Head at 6:30 o’clock tomorrow night. ——.__. REPUDIATE HIS AUTHORITY. John A.

The Son of a Treasury Employe Drowned in Little River. There was a drowning accident in Little river, between the Virginia shore and Ana- lostan Island, yesterday afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock, the victim being John Har- rington, jr., eighteen years old, the son of @ treasury employe, residing at 10 Myrtle street northeast. The young ms.. with two companions had gone over the river to take @ bath. Little river has a rocky bottom, with many treacherous holes, and Harring- ton, who was unable to swim, got into one of these holes, going over his head. A number of-men and boys were about the river at the time, and several of them saw Harrington when he disappeared. They made an effort to rescue him, but were un- successful. Benjamin Turvey and Frank Reynélds finally recovered the body, and sent it to the seventh station, in George- town. Later in the day it was turned over to the father of the deceased and prepared for burial by an undertaker. . —_-_—_ $1.25 To Baltimore and Return $1.25 via Pennsylvania Railroad.

Alberta Gibson, the twenty-year-old girl who is suspected of attempting to burn the girls’ reform school some time ago, man- aged to escape from the institution in some unknown manner last evening, and is again enjoying a vacation. The police were im- mediately notified of the escape, and are expected to shortly capture the truant. it will be remembered that at the recent fire at the place the Gibson girl with four others secured their liberty, but were cap- tured within the next few days. The in- vestigation of the origin of the fire furnished enough evidence to hold the girl on the charge of arson, and it is because of this that she became desperate, and made her escape, fearing prosecution on the charge. Holding Outdoor Services. Rev. Mr. Jackson delivered the sermon last evening at the outdoor service of the Ebenezer A. M. E.

Before he was ren- dered insensible the men were frightened away, and their victim was left there on the road in an apparently dying condition. When his assailants had left him, the aged man got up and started across the bridge to his lodging house. His face was fright- fully discolored, both eyes being blackened, so that his acquaintances could hardly rec- ognize him. He was sent to Freedmen’s Hospital. A few minutes after he left for the has- pital O'Brien appeared. Two of his ribs had been fractured, and he was unable to sit down. He travels about the country between here and Baltimore and sells lead pencils for a livelihood. Most of the rail- Toad men know him, and he seldom ex- periences any trouble in getting a free ride on a passenger train or in “beating” a freight. Last week he sold pencils in Bal- timore, but he did not do much business, and Sunday night he concluded to return home. Going to the outskirts of the city, he stopped on the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road tracks to await the arrival of a train. While there the two colored men came along and demanded his money. His re- fusal was met with abuse, and in addition the men assaulted him. | Two Baltimore policemen had him sent to Johns Heakins Hospital, and this. morning he was sent here. He is now under treatment in Provi- dence Hospiial. ‘Two Applicants for Sanitary Officer Frank’s Assistance. Two aged men called on Sanitary Officer Frank this morning and asked to be sent to a hospital tor treatment. ‘They were George W. Green, seventy years old, who had roomed at No. 1217 E street north- west, and Nicholas O'Brien, seventy-one years old, who lives at a lodging house on Pennsylvania avenue. Each man had been arsaulted by unknown colored men. and terribly beaten because they had no money to give their assailants. Green was as- saulted Sunday night in Virginia, near the south end of the free bridge, while O’Brien was “held up” on the railroad near Balti- jmore and was thrown violently across the tracks in addition to being beaten. George W. Green is a plumber by trade, but because of his advanced age he is un- able to do any work. He came here from Baltimore twenty-five years ago, and is well known. According to his statement, he has no relatives here, and the only per- scn whom he can call a friend is a woman who keeps a cheap lodging house. Sunday afternoon, he says, he went across the bridge for a little outing, and it was rather late when he started home. Two colored men met him near the bridge, he said, and demanded money. He had only thirteen cents in his pockets, and not caring to give up all he had, he told his assailants he We should like to have you try Cleveland’s baking pow- der, because we are sure that $ it will mean another customer for us.
