Coptoot Testimony Hefore Coroner Gary. Export KvldeoceGiven. A Friend's Statement. We, the jury, find that the deceased. Harrison, came to his death C-efTects of morphine adminis red by his own hand, and we, the fall to And frotiNthe evidence that iy antidotes were used to counteract e effects of the morphine." This terse, bare, but" eloquent verdict of a coroner's Jury, rendered at half past 10 o'clock last night in the office of Dr. Joseph Charles, tells briefly the story of a pathetic and sensational death. Richard Lorton Harrison, a boy of sixteen, bright, well advanced for his I ;-age, popular among his friends, died early yesterday morning at his board? ing house, Mrs. McCulloeh's residence. ;;:':No. 321 Twenty-sixth street. If the tes? timony before the coroner's Jury was .correct, he had taken_enough morphine to kill a number of men. There are conflicting statements as to the circumstances surrounding the poor noy's deatn. His brother asserts that lie took the morphine to allay the pain caused by a severe headache. It was in evidence, however, that he took the poison because the girl he had conceived f;, a: fondness for did not. as he thought, care for him. Young Harrison formerly worked for ?t?te. G. Klor. the druggist, and it was at the store where he was once employ? ed that ho secured the drug with which, intentionally or unintentionally, he end? ed his life. He went behind the counter and got it, just how much does not ap? pear, but evidently a considerable quantity, as morphine is weighed. He took part of this.at the store, and the rest of it after he had returned to his boarding house. y But the whole story is told by the evi? dence adduced at the coroner's inquest, which was held by Dr. Gary, who sum? moned the following jury as soon as he was notified of the death of the unfor ,tunate boy: Messrs J- U Mary?. Jr., ::v J. A. Sandler. J. B. Locke, J. P. Worn r ble, H. J. I-c-wis and J. W. Cassada. This jury viewed the body and at oon began taking the evidence of the * tQ d ?ollow witness that it would u putting lor him again, as the o y hte ??E?! Witness slept with alon was that the boy had taken an overdose of morphine; if he had been called to attend the boy he would have applied a pump as a precaution. The boy would not tell him why he took the poison. JAMES P.OTHLER'S STATEMENT. James Boteler In the course of his testimony saiel: "When Dr. Corss came the second time I got up and went into the room. I followed Dr. Corss down to the head of the steps. He said that Lorton was putting on. but would be all right. He said that Lorton had taken morphine and possibly an overdose. Lorton told Dr. Corss that he had taken morphine and he would die. but the Doctor said he would be all right anil would be able to attend church next Sunday." Mrs. McCulloch, in the course of her testimony, said that she met Dr. Corss at the door and told him that Lorton Harrison had taken an envelope full of morphine besides some he had taken in his hand at the drug store, and he was in a bad way. Mrs. McCulloch also testified that she never told Dr. Corss that he had taken strychnine. EXPERT TESTIMONY. Dr. Aaron Jeffery's statement was as follows: "I am a practicing physician of this city. I did not know Lorton Harrison. As a rule, when anyone has taken mor? phine, or opium in any form, in large or poisonous doses, there is always contracted pupils, slow breathing, pulse unusually rapid and small. Some pa? tients, quite a large dose of morphine will excite and make in a highly ner? vous stale all night and never close their eyes. When a poisonous dose is absorbed into the system, they get quiet, go to sleep, pupils tightly-con? tracted, and breathing very slow, and finally death. "When 1 am called to a case of pois? oning by opium taken by the mouth. 1 make him vomit or use stomach pump. I generally use first a tenth of a grain of apo-morphine hy perdermically, which I have found tr> make them vomit, and then stomach pump, ir necessary. I always give atro pine hyperdermically as an antidote:. As a juror has asked me if I were call? ed to a case and told that he had taken morphine, would 1 give him 'bro? mide or anything to quiet him. I an? swered. T would not.' If a man had taken morphine and was very nervous I would let him get out. of bed. Tf he did not get out of heel I would make him do so. I would make him walk in the fresh air. and if he would not walk. T would whip him and make him walk: keep up the breathing, and. if necessary, use electricity to keep it up. Sometimes medicine will stay in the stomach for hours before it is ab? sorbed. Ten grains of morphine will kill anyone, unless he is in the habit of taking it, or it is gotten rid of. empty stomach absorbs more rapidly than a full one. When t know or have reason to think it is liable that he has taken morphine I would empty the stomach." The jury adjourned to meet at the of? fice of Dr. Charles at 9 o'clock P. M.. which was done. But two witnesses were heard. The first was Dr. Charles, who made the following statement: DR. CHARLES. "I am a practicing physician in this city. 1 did not know Lorton Harrison. The symptoms of morphine poisoning are drowsiness, contraction of the pu? pils, itching of the nose, slow breath? ing, and the pulse may be rapid or slow. At first there may be excitement, but later on there is always drowsiness and more or less inability to walk, ster? torous breathing, loss of sensation and motion, and finally, death. Some cases that are said to have taken morphine have not taken enough to hurt them, and if there were no symptoms I would not treat at all. 1 doubt if these had taken a large quantity. If I believed he had taken the large amount I would go ahead to treat him; otherwise I would let him alone. Ordinarily, if a patient had taken it an hour before I saw him, 1 would not use stomach pump or emetics, for generally by that time all in the stomach is absorbed, but sometimes it is much slower in being absorbed. I do not usually take a man's statement for anything in these cases, and it would depend on the symp? toms whether I would give Dromldes or quieting medicine. If a person had taken a large dose of morphine, in an hour there ought to be marked symp? toms of it. If there.wcre, I would keep up artificial ~;,[\*t.e, ammt'dve atropia J stimu THE REASON WHY the,- witness examined was M Lloyd. IBs testimony was as -sixth street.

A Con? servative Estimate of Th;s Kusine*?. There is no surer criterion by which to judge a city's general progress along all lines than by the growth of its pos? tal business. When the receipts of a city's post office are neither increasing nor decreasing, it may be set down as a fact that the city is standing still. When receipts increase, the increase in the city's business and population is commensu rate. Consequently, figures relating to post ollieo business are significant, ami some information in connection with the last year's receipts at the Newport News office will be interesting. For the purpose of comparison a statement is given of the business done in this office during the fiscal year end? ing June SO, 1897. For that year the total receipts were $S5,678.47. this result being obtained bv the addition of the following figures: Gross revenue by sale of stamps, stamped paper, etc.. $16,128.08. Domestic money orders issued, $50. 137.2-1. Fees on same. $456.36. Foreign money orders, $18,745.97. Fees on same. $210.82. Total money order business for that year. $(!9,C7S,47. Domestic and foreign money orders paid and repaid. S10.S69.S2. Registered pieces. 4,127. This is the business for one year. The business for the next fiscal year, that ending June 30. 1S9S. reveals a very considerable increase along an lines as will be seen by the perusal of the fol? lowing figures, which were obtained from Postmaster Read yesterday: Domestic money orders issued. $03 526.03. Fees on same, $539.19. Foreign money orders. $20.024.65. Fees on same. $230.94. Total money order business for this ye-ar. $84,927.S1. Increase in money order business, $15,249.34. Receipts from stamp sales, box rents, etc.. $20.156.23. Increase in this department, $4.02S.15. Registered pieces, 4,970. Increase over former year, S43. Domestic and international money or? ders paid and repaid, $20,422.31. Increase over former year, $9,552.59. Total 'business of office for year end? ing June 30. 189S, $105,0S4.04. Increase over previous vear, $19, 405.57. The figures for the first quarter of the present fiscal year are even more significant, and show a still more rapid increase. They are as follows:.'. Domestic money orders issued from July 1, to September 30, $22,539.28. Fees for same, S219.4S. International money orders for same period. $3,709.29. Fees for same, $41.15.

The new directory of Newport News, Hampton and Old Point for IS9S- 99 has just been issued by the J.,i Hill Print? ing Company, of Richmond. The vol? ume is an admirable one, and is as nearly up to date as it is possible to get a work of this kind. It contains a gen? eral antl business directory of the points named, and much other valuable information, including a guide to New? port News and many advertisements of wide-awage firms. Relative to the pop? ulation of the city, the following is pub? lished j., the first part of the volume: "We therefore present the statenn nt that the present number of inhabitants in Newport News ls 17.403, a gain of over 1.500 within the past twelve months. It can be- safely said that no city in the South, comparatively speaking, can show such wonderful growth as that of Newport News for the past five years. "Hampton, as well as Phoebus, h gained also, the present figures for these places being about 6,000 and 3.000 respectively. This, beyond question, proves that the population of that dis? trict, from Newport News to Old Point and inclusive, is very close to 30.000." A Museum for Their Exhibition posed. There is a movement on foot in army and navy, circles to collect and exhibit all relics of whatever nature of the war between l$he United States and Spain, and Judging from the prominence and position of the leading spirits in the affair it gvill be quite successful from all points of view. Captain C. C. Cook, of the First Ohio Regiment. United States Volunteers, is the chairman of a committee organized to take charge of the exhibition, and it is proposed to have it in tin- Hotel Chamberlin, at Old Point, which has n tendered by Manager Allan F. Campbell. All the officers of the regu army stationed at Fort Monroe are interested in the collection of these relics and will do all they can to make a success of the exhibition. L is probable that, after the relics are shown at the Chamberlin. they will be exhibited at other ponits in the country, and arrangements to this end already under way. It is desired by those-having the exhibition in their harge to receive trophies and relics of 11 kinds, and especially swords, machetes, rifles and revolvers, prefer bly rrom the battles of Santiago dc Cuba and San Juan Hill, war vessels Infanta. Maria Teresa. Vizcaya. Altnl rante Oquendo and Cristobal Colon. Among navy and army officers, who are Interested in the matter are Major Donald McLean. Captain J. G. Fogg. Captain J. T. McKay. Captain Alex. S. Taylor. Captain C. C. Cook, and Cap? tain Henry Seymour, of the Merrltt and Chapman Derrick nnd Wrecking Company." Contributions of relics are particular? ly expected from the United States ship Vulcan, repair ship; the tug Mer? rltt, wrecking tug: the United States collier Leonldas. and the United States cruiser Brooklj'n. the United States battleships Oregon and Texas. The committee expects tin- loan of many relics and trophies. and will guarantee that their owners shall be put to no expense for their transporta? tion, and will be secured against any loss whatever and the safe return of the relics. Many posts of the Grand Army of the Republic have heartily ap? proved of this proposed collection and exhibition, and if it assumes the pro? portions which it Is thought will follow the enterprise it is lnteded to take it to the principal cities of tho United States. t All the proceeds of the exhibition will be devotad to charitable purposes, namely, the relief and support of wid? ows and orphans of soldiers and sailors of the lute war with Spain. DRUG STORE PROPERTY SOLD. There was another quiet deal in real estate here yesterday, Mr. G. A. Schmelz selling to Mr. John B. Kimber ly the building and lot now occupied by Klor's down town drug store on Wash ington avenue, between Twentv-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets. The price paid for the property was $7,500. siderable advance over the purchase price paid several months ago. anJ Mr. story bf t ween third s cupied be arrarj is a fra structed but two d business.

Nov. 21.?Th-j upward movement in prices in the slock mar? ket was at full tide today, when the afternoon special editions brought the Paris bulletin of the Associated Press, announcing that the president of the Spanish commission hail declined to proceed with thP negotiations after the presentation of the United States com? mission's final terms. The professional room traders turned sellers immediately and the large buying orders which wera being executed ail around the room were apparently withdrawn. Prices melted away rapidly in this condition of affairs, until declines had reached nearly a point in many cases, supporting orders were then placed in many of the leading stocks and the decline was checked. There was no apparent disposition to continue the buying movement, how? ever, and for a time, during the last hour, the market fell into almost entire neglect. This condition of affairs invit? ed renewed short selling and the dtlft was slowly downward to the close. The net result is that many stocks. ..hieb were not conspicuously strong in the early dalings, closed lower than on Sat? urday, while tiic notable advances in the lenders are much reduced. t'nensincss over the stringent eondi 18=*. of money in Berlin and preaching maturity of large obligations there have apparently subsided. The Northwestern railroad stocks were re? lieved from pressure and threatened rupture between Northwestern and Ore? gon Pacific fell into the background.
