The death ot Mrs. Mary 1J. Babsr,
who died day before yeeterday, recalln
to the mind* of the old reaidonta of
M*con the tragic death of her husband,
Pr. Ambroee Baber. In IMS. which in
the only inntonce. no far as known, of
a typographical error oatwing death.
tor. Baber, who. by, the way, was at
true time mlnWter to Spain, waa a prac
ticing physician in dbcoa for a number
of years, and enjoyed a largo and lucra
tive practice. Among hla jiatlenta Just
pries- to hla death won « sick person In
Kant Macon, and on the day before hla
death he called nt the house, and utter
un examination of the patient wrote a
prescription frum a formula pitnled In
u medical book he had Just received.
Tbo prescription wua carried to the
drug store of Mr. George Payne, and
after the proscription clerk had filled It
according to direction*, he warned the
Siornon wlu» had brought It to the drug
store that the patient wodld die If ho
took It. This alarmed the bearer of the
prescription, end In ordor to entlsfy
himself fully ha went to Dr. 1 A. Menard,
who also kept a drug etore, and ehowed
him tho prescription Hint had. been
lllled at Dr. Bayne's. Dr. Menard also
warned him that the prescription
would produce death. Tho proscription
was carried to *the home 'of -the patient,
however, but on being fold what tho
druglata had «ald. the patient reflated
to lake It, end put It aside.
On the following day. Dr. Baber
again called at the house, and asked
tire patient the eft sot* ot the prescrip
tion. lie wan told that the prescription
had nut been taken,, J* tho drugsluts
had naltl It would kill -the person who
took It. Tho answer aroused Dr. llaber.
who was a nun of high nervous tem
perament and of Iron will, ami he cx-
prsgied «rent Indignation that a drug-
gist should apeak In such u manner of
one of hi* prcncrlptlons. ••Why." eald
he. "Ihene Impertinent druggists would
hive you believe they know more shout
ray profrssilon than I do, and to nhow
you that they dtin't know what they
are talking about. I will take tho pre-
ncrlptlon mvuelf.’’ Without another
word. Dr. Baber swallowed the pre
scription. and In a few minutes who a
corpse.
Owing to Dr. Buber - * prominence and
the mourner of hi* death, a great deal of
excitement wan crentcd when It became
known. The looal physicians got to
gether anil after a full InveaUgkttbn
had been made. In was admitted that
Hr. Baber hail written the prescription
word for word an It appeared In the
bonk, and that tho druggtat had filled
It am written, but that tho formula
wild "ono <mnce of prussic acid." As
non as this was discovered, tho local
phyalclnnn wrote to the author cf the
btfik. who was on ncknowhslged author*
Ity for nil h-.n!lmr |.li>.111.. giving
him the particulars and demanding aa
t-vplanotlon. The annwer lnunedlately
name back tha-t tho formula ohoitld
have rood "on., drachm of pruaelo ncld."
nud lmd la-on so written, hut that the
printer bod made it mistake and Used
the character representing one ounce
whore he should have used (he charac
ter representing ono drachm, but the
rail take had wot bean dWovarad until
the author had received the letter an
nouncing (Dr. Unher'a death.
The book In which the fatal formula
tva* contained had had a wldo circula
tion on account of the eminence of Its
author, but ira <*»n ns the mistake was
made known to him ho Immollately
sent * men out all over the country to
collect them up. Owing to the lark of
titllroad fscllltim in threw <lay», how
ever. It was a long time lioforc they
cotdd all be called In. and before they
were all In. another denlh. that of a
young lady In Baltimore, ocurrcd frem
the same lavoerlntlen.
Br. Charlre H. llnll of this elty aim
hoe one of the .books in his itossranion,
uts! distinctly remembers the clreum-
ttsncre surrounding the deilh of Dr.
llaber.
The election manager* and tho Hem
ocratic executive couiwittec of Bibb
v uunty met at llie court house at noon
yesterday anil consolidated the returns
of Wednesday's election.
Tltc result show* that Atkinson's
majority over Hines Is but SOI
less than Northon’a majority over l'cek
In .18112. 'Ilils dims not show tin- full
Domocrallo ticket, however, ns Har
deman and Nesbitt received 2,KID
votes each, nr .10 more votes than At
binson rocelvod. The total vote was
3,071, against n total !u 1802 ot 1,181,
making it fulling off of 115 votes. It
t* needless to sny that every ono ot
those voles were Democratic, ns every
I'opullst In tho county voted, and when
it Is taken Into consideration that they
voted a number of Itepulillcaus who
would vote for n Republican nominee
against any Populist It will lio readily
scou that tho i’opuliiits In this county
have not Increased ono lota In strength.
If tho 115 Democrats who voted In 18U2
hml voted In Wodnoaduy's election It
would have given that much more ma
jority. Thcao figures plalnjy show
that while tho Populists lutye not In
creased their strength lu Ullib county,
tho Democrats, knowing tho county
was absolutely safe, did not vote. It
must also 1st remembered (lint In istrj
a preslilnn'inl candidate was also voted
for, which caused deeper Interest
among tlm Democrats.
While tin- Populists In some coun
ties la the state hnvo .vomctbliig to re
joice over those of Bibb have none, us
the figures show they have mado no
headway In two years. Tills must in
deed be discouraging (o a party that
has worked so hard and earnestly for
recruits an<l that promises to enforce
such wonderful reforms.
Bibb still carries tho banner for
Democratic majority lu proportion io
population and vole polled, and two
years hence. If tho Populist |tarl.v man
ages to exist that long, will do even
Mter.
Tho following are tho full returns ns
consolidated at the court houso yts-
tenlay.
