Hut the discarding of horses as the motive power for street cars is what play ed hob with the horse market.

Carter's scenic melodrama, "The Tornaoo," was given its first production on any stage on Saturday of last week, at llavlin's theatre, Chicago. His first great success, "The fast mail," was producu there three years ago, and by all accounts the new play promises to be even more popular. The sceuic eflects alone wonld carry a much less meritorious work to suc cess" The principal sensational feature is a tornado scene, which is managed by the aid of electricity aud especially con structed mechanism, and is one ol the fiuest and most complete effects ever shown on the stage. The scene is a count ry village in Wisconsin on the Fourth ol July. All is quiet and calm.

On Saturday evening, after supper, the attending physician, l)r. J. il. Fitzgerald, called to see his patient and found her getting along nicely under the treatment. In bis treatment for the rheumatism the physician had prepared a bottle of belladonna linament, ami plain ly labelled it "poison," to be used for ex ternal application. He instructed those who were attending the little girl to be eareful in handling this bottle as its con tents were poisonous. A short time after he had visited the patient the physician was hastily summoned and told tnat a dose of the poisonous liuament had been ad ministered by mistake, out, by the time he got to the house it was found to be too late to save the life of the pa'.ient, and in two hours from Ibe lime the drug had been administered the little girl was a corpse, although every effort was made in the meantime by Drs.
