Effect of. Laudanum t Adminstered by
Ills OtvnElands. ' • ,
• ,
Capt. James B. Palmer, one of the lead
ing young business men of the city, senior
member' f the auction house of Palmer &
Phillipt, died yesterday afternoon at his of-
flee on Fifth avenue, from the effects of
laudanum administered, some holuspre.
vlow3, by his own hinds, for the purpose,
it is fair to presume, of destroying life.
The deceased, on Thanksgiving, purchased
a small phial of laudanum at a' Maiket
street drug house, the contents of which he
swallowed - at his'ollice sme time during
Thanksgiving night. At 'a little after six
o'clock, - yesterday_ morning, an employee
opened the rooms , and on entering the office
at the rear of the- store, discovered Mr.
Palmer lying on a lounge in an insensible
condition. He gave an immediate alarm '
and medical aid was at once summoned.
Dr
jr.ll Coffeyand Ring were soon in attend
ance upon Mr. Palmer, and a brief exam!
-nation of the symptoms served to show that
he was, laboring undei the influence of a
strong dose of laudanum. The moat active
measures were.at once taken to counteract
the effects of the poison, and restore the
unfortunate man to consciousness. The
ordinary antidotes entirely, failed, so com
plete wait' the mastery which the drug had
obtained over the system. - The use of pow
erful galvanic batteries was resorted to and
their application was continued actively
throughout the forenoon, but entirely with
out avail, and he died in the afternoon as
stated.
Cal ft. Palmer was a native of this city,
and enjoyed high reputation as a gentle
man of worth, capacity, integrity and
honor. He was in the army daring the
entire war, entering as anon-commissioned
officer in the Friend Rifles and gradually
advancing. till he became Captair. He was
conspicuous in -that bravest of all brave
companies for gallantry and daring, and
carries with him to the grave the heart
felt sorrow of all his companions. -
He was but thirty-five years of ag e and
leaves a wife and several small ch ildren.
It is hard to account for Mr. Palmer's death
except on the hypothesis that he intended
to destroy himself, and why he should have
desired -to accomplish that end is' a' deep
mysterYZto all his friends: The most satis
factory theory is that the mind of the de
oeased was so weakened by the press of
business care . and responsibility resting
upon him, and a chronic sickness contract
ed in the army, alb to encourage the rash
deed;
The following evidence was adduced at
the inquest held yesterday afternoon by
Coroner Clawson
Michael Yeager, porter of the thitablish
ment, testified that he went into the store
about seven o'clock in the morning. Upon
entering the office he discover the de
ceased - lying Upon a lounge, breathing
heavily, and insensible. He notiffed.a po
liceman, Who came into the store, and af
t et* war d s procured medical assistance. .
fuels. G. Moorhead, policeman, sworn—
Was standing at the . corner of Fifth and
Efralthfield streets, at about seven o'clock
this morning, when the porter of the store
came to me and said that Mr. Palmer was
very gait. i came down and found him
lying on a lounge in the office, covered
with a blanket. - I went for Dr. King,and
Dr. Coffey. Mr. Palmer looked as ,if he
was in a dying condition when I found him.
N. J. McCiarren, druggist on/ Market
street, sworn—Am aequainted with the de
newd; he was at my store at/about three
o'clock yesterday afternoonv he pirchased
an ounce of laudanum and two ounces of
sweet oil, In' separete vials; ha said they
were for family use. 111 fr appeared very
cheerfnl, and converted upon the topics of
the day, as visual; he was perfectly sober,
and evidently. had not been drinking. He
talked about business matters in a perfectly
rational manner.
By a juror—lt was a little. after three
o'clookwhen he hailed me irom across the
Street. He said, "By the way, seeing you
reminds me that I want some laudanum
and,sweet oil to take.home."
- Dr. H. B. illoffey, sworn—Was called to
see Mr. Palmer this morning about eight
r/Olclock; found him insensible and appar
ently dying; his breathing was heavy and
irregular. He had the symptoms pro
dueed by an overdose of opium. We first
used the galvanic battery, and afterwards
pied the stomach pump; the contents of
the stomach smelled strongly of laudanum.
Ills death was caused by an overdose of
tincture of opitim, commonly called lauda
num. The probability is that he took the
laudanum in the early part of the night—
between ten and twelve o'clock.
Philip Wagner, Jr., swim—Was an in
timate friend of the deceased: was in the
store with Mr. Palmer and Mr. Phillips
until nine o'clock Thursday night, at which
time witness said he would go home, (in
Manehester,) and started, Mr. Palmer
went with him as far as the corner of Penn
andilt. Clair streets, where they separated
Mr. Palmer was talking, while In the store,
about business matters. He said he had a
letter to write to a firm in New York, and
he did not like to do it.
Albert_ Rater, sworn—Went into the
store about ten- o'clock P. and found
Messrs. Palmer and Phillips both there; sat
down and the three talked together until
abodeleven, when we all started home,
walking together as far as the foot of Wylie
'street,, -where we separated, the witness and
3lr Phillim proceeding up Wylie. towards
'their home. The deceased resides at No.
480 Rossotreet, and was on his way home.'
Whe parties bade each other "good night".
when they separated. Mr. Palmer was all
-right; "he Appeared to be in better spirits
-than usual.
- The jurY returned a verdict "that the de
<sensed canes to hisdeath from the effects of,
anoverdese of laudanum administered by
himself."
Probably Fatal Shooting Affray.
Between elevey and twelve o'clock,
Thursday night; ein affray occurred at Tar
nerJiiall at a tall given by -the Nonpariel
Swint Club, which will probably result In
the death of me of the participants. George
Thalami James Sims, who have heretofore
beenen friendly terms, attended the ball,
Sims baying Wills charge two little girls.
'Daring the early part of the evening the
parties snot sword times and were as
usual very friendly. Later, in the evening
it seems that Hail remarked to some one
In the Hall that them girls Sims had with
him should:, be in the house of refuge.
Sims heard of the remark and ;attacked .
Hall when flghtenattedAuring which Hall
plot the better of him and it is , alleged bit
piece of his lip off. The friends of the corn-
Utanta thenanterfered andeeparated them,
wken Sims started down stairs and Hall
followed-him in a short time afterwards.
When Hall had just got about half way
down,the third flight of eclairs, Sims who
was at the head of-the next flight below,
turned round and fired at him with a re
volver, the, bail taking effect in the abdo
men, below the naval. Hall -was irnmedi
otely earned to his home on Chatham
street,. wherehe; as attended by Dr. Wal
ters.. Re was still living at last accounts, but
it is altogether. probable the wound will
prove fatal. -
;In view of thie fact, Mayor Slaokmore
was sent for about one' o'clock yesterday
'Morning; and took the wounded man's
:apposition, upon which a warrant was i s .
good for
. the arres t o f gime, who had not been
arrested at a latebour last night.

Destructive Fire—A Manßurned to Death.
Between eleven-and twelve o'clock Wed
nesday night, a destructive fire occurred in
Ohio township, a short 'distance beldw the
Glendale station. oil the' Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railway, by which the
starch manure - dory at Messrs. Strub Jt Stu
,
hoenger was totally destroyed, and Mr.
George Muellergrash, nit' employe of the
establisement, was burned to death. Mul
lergrash and a young son of Mr. Strub
were sleeping lit the building when the fire
broke °mould after throwing the trunks out
of a window , effected their escape. A ft er
getting out Mullergrash remembered that
he hid left a coat and cravat in the room he
had just left, and expressed his determi
nation to return and rescue them. Young
Strub asked him to help break open the,
doors of the counting room and save ,the
books, but he declared he would not until
he pad saved the elothing. He accordingly
started up stairs and that was the last seen
of him. It is supposed that he was suffo
cated by the smoke to such a degree as to
be,unable to make his . escape.
Coroner Clawson held an inquest on the
/body, which was recovered from the ruins
sometime after the fire had been extin
guished. andthe jury returned a verdict
in accordance with the above facts. •
The deceased was a single man, about
thirty-two years of age.
There is no clew as to the origin,of the
fire. The loss is estimated at about 113.000,
.Upon which there was an insurance of $BOBO.
John Barry made information yesterday
before Alderman Mehttisters' against Ed
.
ward Shannon and Agartain Holtman for
larceny. 13arry stated that on Thanksgiving
evening he went into the saloon of the de
fendants by invitation of a friend, who also
took with hiM several other companions.
Oysters were called for and supplied in
abundance, and after the company had sup
plied themselves with the cheer they one
by one departed until Barry was left alone
in his glory., 9.fter a short time he stated
tnat he also endeavored to leave but was de
taped by the defendants, who very natural
ly wished to be paid for the entertainment.
Barry says he told them he bad no money,
he was only an invited guest, and they
would have to look for the man who or
dered the fare. Not satisfied with thiii
seemingly fair and lucid statement of the
situation, Barry alleges that the defendints
seized upon his hat, valued' at four dollars,
and informed him that they intended to
keep it in their possession until he,hunted
up his friends and contrived to get the bill
paid. Barry then hunted upthe Alderman
and made the information as stated, but at
the hearing of the case the Alderman
charged the defendants and allowed them
to keep the hat. Barry feels. that he has
been unjustly dealth but he must
have his hat back, and is hunting up his
friends toget the bill paid with this object
in view.

Daring Robbery.
Thursday evening last, one of the Most
daring- and impudent robberies was per
petrated,- taking into ,consideration the
hour and the locality in which it occurred,
Mr.ha p
ve heard of for some time ast. A
Leonard; a German, having been to
visit a friend in the Twelfth ward, was re
turning about eight o'clock in the evening.
Coming down Penn street, at the corner of
Penn and Wayne,he was. joined by a Ger
man who he did not know. but who struck
up a conversation with-'him in his native
tongue and walked with him to Merdock's
alley, when lie seised him by the throat,
and was immediately joined by two other,
men, who by direction of the one who had
hold of im, took his Watch and a pocket
book containing fourteen dollars, and then
fled. No :due to the guilty parties. ,

_ .
Encouragement_ of 'Art.. , ,
It is a we ll known fact that Europeans. are
.1
generally impressed. with the -idea that
, .
.
a
Americana' have false taste in all highly
finished or decorative works produced by
,
skilled artizans, and they cater, when at
work for the American market, to what
,they consider the popular demand, by.
offering tie works of a gaudy and mere
tricious style, rather than of the purest
and best examples of art or workmanship.
The fact is so well known to our largest im
porters, that when any article of excellence
is demapded, they plaoe particular stress
upon the order, and even then theydo ,n t not
always succeed in obtaining a
article. The inconsistency of the American
people is illustrated in their peculiar
method of encouraging art. They deny the
ability of the American. artisan to produce
work exhibiting rare skill and taste, and at
the same time import inferior articles. If
they are really honest it is their duty to
encourage native skill and talent.' 'Ailong
as they prefer foreign manufactures to home
productions they , should not depreciate
American manufactures. If they do not'
appreciate American art, they need not
wonderlf it lang . shes. Fottunately, how
ever, there Id ali .. t to even this disposition
so common Ito a arge class of our people.
They cannot import lakes, fields or dwel
lings. In the matter of architecture they
are Compelled either to copy or originate.
In this we have .succeeded so well that a
celebrated English writer, speaking of the
public and private buildings in 'New York
and. Philadelphia; expressed the opinion
that they exceeded in beauty and elegance
the finest '; . buildings ,in England. In
church architecture, especially, and in,
church appointments we have made won
derfu.l strides. Perhaps nothing in the
way of art adds more to the interior beauty
of a church than richly stained glass. Yet
even here we have accomplished wonders.
A quarter of a Century ago few church ed
ifices in the country boasted stained win
dein. Now they are everywhere to be seen.
In time this art bids fair to flourish in
America as it has flourished 'lithe oldest
cities of Europe. Utilitarians will see noth
ing commendable in this. Those who are
interested in the art, however, cannot fail
to welcome the new order of thing's. 'And
to them we address ourselves directly.
There can be nothing more certain than the
fact that with every new design, with every
new demand for an article requiring rare
skill, taste and judgment, the chances are
that the artisan will find himself taxed to
keep pace with the improvements sought
after by the public. Whoever gratifies his
taste by securing a specimen of art that re
quires the study and reflection of the arti
san contributes directly to art. This is,ln
fact, the practical encouragement of art.
That the mass'of the American people are
disposed to view the matter in the same
light we need only adduce the experience
of a single establishment of this city.
Messrs. Page, Zellers dc Duff, pioprietors of ,
the Ainerican Glass Works, have made ex
tensive preparations for the production of
a large amount of stained, enameled and
ground gl . Combining glass making
with gi staining, einplpying experienced
workiu fs
men, and tully determined to ex
cel, th have achieved, in the short space,
of a y , a reputation second to none in
the co ntry. They Willa attention to the
article de in the American Glass Works,
fully satisfied that it will bear favorable
comparison with anything manufactured
in England. Parties interested in public
buildings, especially church edifices, are
invited to examine their stained and enam
eled glass. -..
Messrs. Page, Zellers di Duff are also
largely engaged in the manufacture of
oval, square and round glass, shades for
flowers, wax-fruit, Ste' These shades are

The inevitable George Thompson has
turned up' in a new rcle.—that of a one
,
aimed soldier. Yesterday asb' Meer Nixon
was walking along Ridge street,, he dis
covered George begging from door:to door,
gaining sympathy by representing himself
as a one armed soldier, and exhibiting an
empty sleeve as corro boration of hie story.
He really had but one arm—at the time—the
other being snugly laid down along his
side and enclosed, by his underclothing and
vest: The ()Ulcer; however, was not to be
imposed upon, and he arrested George.
The , Mayor fined him five dollars, but his
begging trip had not yielded him much of
a return as he was unable to pay the tine.
Two fiddles which he had in his possesion
were accepted as security, and he was al
lowed to depart. - 3 .
