HAS TAKEN ONE DOSE TOO MANY. tnin Sym- athy Resnlts Fatally. Wedged in under a chicken coop so tight | that with great difficulty was his body re- | moved, Fred Dillick died about 11 o'clock last | night from the effects of a dose of poison | self-administered. It I8 not thought he took the poison to kill himself, for the story of his life of the last year shows he was in the habit polson In some form for the purpose of mak- 1ng himsclf sick In order to excite sympathy Youg Dillick had a_great deal of trouble | with his & father, Harry West, who lives at 141 Ridge street. About a year ago the boy becatie suddenly and violently sick. It | was learned then that he had taken some sort of bed bug poison. About the 4th of July he took arsenic for the same purpose, but was pumped out after a brief but violent illness. Yesterday he went to the home of his annt, and showing her a lot of crystals in his hand, without any wrapper, asked her what she thought it was. “Ii’s strychnine, away. He sald he would, and went away. About 10 o'clock he bade his friends and emily good night, and sonte of them good- bye. In a few moments a fearful shriek aroused the neighborhood, followed by others, till there was quite a crowd at the West place, It was soon found that the shrieks came from under the chicken coop, where the boy was found, tightly jammed in. He was removed as soon as possible, and Dr. Chris- tianson, who was present, did what he could to resuscitate him. It was too late, however as rigor mortis had already set in. Some of the neighbors at first thought it a case of murder, but the facts hardly warrant any such conclusion. There was an all- around row at the West house yesterday morning, but the boy had eaten a hearty supper, and nothing after, votil he went away by himself. It seems from the facts at hand to have been a clear case of unintentional sulclde, she sald. “You throw it D HIS W 2 WITH AN AXE t of n Garner Townsh Farmer to Destroy Hix F iy, Fred Willach was arrested at 8 o'clock yes- terday upon complaint of his wife, charged with assault with intent to commit murder. Willach is a substantial farmer living near Pony creek, five miles from town. For several days he has been on a spree, which ended In an attack of furious insanity or drunken madness. He seized an axe night before last and asserted his intention of kill- ing his family and destroying his house. A large portion of the furniture was reduced to kindling under the blows from the axe, while the wife stood by helpless, When he attacked her piano the woman rushed to the reseue and seized the infuriated man. He left the piano and turned on her Jvith his axe and chased her through the rooms. He would undoubtedly have killed her had it not been for the providential appearance of two of her brothers. They seized the mad- man and disarmed him., He was o violent and bloody in his threats that Mrs. Willach believed her life to be in danger and came to town to invoke the protection of the law. She reached Justice Cook’s home at 3 o'clock yesterday morning and signed an informa- tion charging her husband with assault with intent to commit murder. A constable served the warrant and lodged Willach in the county jail. He will have a hearing before Justice Cook at 2 o'clock this afternoon, NEW GOODS FOR FALL. Toston Store.

Secretary Cunningham of the Kansas City Jockey club, under whose management the races at Unlon park are being given, has been not a whit discouraged at the slim attendance of the first few days of the races. Naturaly he should have felt somewhat clated at the increased attendance yesterday, but he wasn't. If we can make the races here this time thoroughly satisfactory to the patrons of the turt we will be better satisfied than it we We are confidant we are dolng the former, and we will be able { to pay all our purses and expenses. We ba- lieve that there is a racing future here that will pay us to bulld upon. It Is one of the finest tracks fn America, and the finest by all odds in the west. If we had It at Kan- sas City we wouldn’t take a_million dollars for it. It Is as beautiful as the most perfect picture concelved by an ariist, an ideal landscape. Naturally, it's a fast track, and I believe It can be made one of the most famous in the | world. These three towns ehould support | such a track, and do it better than Kansas City, where we have had meetings lasting | ninety days. For this reason we are will'ng | to make some preliminary sacrifies. The | rices we are giving now, however, de erve a better patronage than we have been ge:ting, deserve it to give a fair return to the horse- men for what they are giving the two citles, There are G600 horsemen here. Our object is to make this a racing center, and we are so confident that we will succeed that we are building great hopes up n the runnng meet- ings we will give here next year. We have already broken all of the track records, and we feel confident encugh to promize the smashing of some other records before the close of this meoting. Every day puts the track in better condition and the hcrsamen in better humor with it.” Ten new stables were completed yester- day, and the asscclation s arranging for the coanstruction of more.

MOST DISASTROUS FIRE FOR MANY YEARS quired the Exertions of the Ene tire Fire Department of the City to Control It Fire Raged for Five Mours and lle-' | Read what he sa. BOSTON, Sept. 4.~One of the most astrous fires that has occurred along Boston's water front In years started on the docks at Bast Boston this morning and before it could be controlled destroyed three plers, two large store houses, a freight shed, fifteen loaded frelght cars, a large quantity of freight and slightly damaged a number of dwelling houses. The loss fs estimated at §965.000, partly insured. The flames were tscovered on the end of ‘the Hoston & tbany railroad pler, in freight shed No. 1, knewn as “Oid Roundtop, about 5 o'clock, Lut an alarm was not given until 5:30, and at that hour the structure, which was a one story building several hundred feet in length, was a mass cf flames. The sieamer Burton discharged a cargo of hemp at this pler yesterday end (he entire cargo, with a Iaige guautity of flour and other frelght in | this shed, was destroyed. A large amount of freight was also thrown into the water from the docks. At 6:18 a second alarm was glven, sum- | moning almost the entire Boston fire dopart- ment, the department from Winthrop and the fire boats. By this time the fire had spread to the adjoining docks, at one of which the Cunard steamer Cephalonia was moored. Before the steamship could be towed out of danger her sides were ablaze, one of her lifeboats was partly destroyed and her rigging was on fire. The flames were ex- tinguished, ‘however, as soon as she was anchored and she was not badly damaged. But little of the freight in the big three. story warehouses, No. 4 and b, owned b the Boston & Albany raflroad, could be re moved before the fire fastened on the bulld- ings, and in spite of the vigorous efforts of | the firemen both structures were soon almost entirely destroyed. The loss on the freight stored in them will be very heavy, but no accurate estimate of the damage on this source can yet be made. Near the store | houses fifteen freight cars, most of them | loaded, were lying on the tracks and it was | impossible to remove them b:fore they caught fire. Almost all of them were wholly de- stroyed, with their contents. Piers Nos, 1, 4 and 6 on which the burned store houses | 53 were built, were reduced to a mass of charred timbers sticking out of the water. A light wind carried the blazing embers from the conflagration Into the tenement house district near by and three tenement houses were partially destroyed and damaged to the extent of $5,000. Three smaller hous were also destro; Shortly after 9 o'clocl the big store house, No. 8, was In flame and the fight of the firemen’ was directed to this point. The main part of the bullding was saved. The flames were confined to the south end, which was gutted. It was at first thought the loss would not exceed $150,000, but a careful estimate in- dicates that the loss will reach $265,000 and | possibly more. In the sheds destroyed were stored 5,000 bales of sisal grass, twenty car- loads of hay, nearly fifty carloads of flour in 5, sixteen carloads of merchandise and 7,700 bales of hemp, all valued at $170,000. The wharves and buildings destroyed were valued at $130,000. dis- | | ! ferer from sclatic | me | few | the body | of all charge. A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR.
