Attorney Poe finally "Stacy Palmer." -i Mrs. Link said Miss Taylor had come to her house on Friday and she thought on Saturday previous to her death, both times finding her out. The witness stated she had never met Toner but once before Miss Taylor's death. Mrs.

Link then told in detail the story of Miss Taylor's actions and subsequent death In her1 house substantially as published In Thb Sun. The Trunk Episode. Mrs. Link 6tated that when the undertakers Inquired for a robe she got the key out of Miss Taylor's satchel and telephoned to Mr. Toner she wanted him to go with her and get a dress out of Miss Taylor's trunk.

Waiting about an hour, she said, without hearing from Mr. Toner, after getting on a car and starting out alone she noticed Mr. Toner on his way to her house. She then got off the car, reaching home a few minutes after Mr. Toner, when they immediately started to Mrs.

Watklns' together. "What did he say when informed of Miss Taylor's death?" Mrs. Link was asked." "My God, Is It possible!" "Didn't he ask to go upstairs to see her?" "No, he went with me to Mrs. Watklns." Mrs. Link stated that the dress and a package of letters were all she had taken from the trunk.

Lying in an unsealed envelope on top or the trunk she found a note to her from Miss Taylor, saying she would be over to see her Tuesday the day after sbe died. Toner, Mrs. Link said, was not greatly disturbed over the affair. Indeed, he seemed to take her death calmly. The witness stated that she had allowed the undertakers to embalm the body without giving them any" authority.

She said that she did not see that she had anything to do with it one way or the other. The Servant Testifies. The next witness was Minnie Corbln, 17 years old, colored, who said she had been employed by Mrs. Link about a year. Her testimony was so near a repetition of Mrs.

Link's that Foreman Shannon asked her If she had not been undergoing a rehearsal. She replied in substance that she had. Inasmuch as she had gone over the story so much for the benefit of reporters. Dr. Todd Called.

Dr. A. R. Todd's statement was practically what has already been published. As to the failure to notify the Coroner or police the witness said: "If I had been absolutely alone In the case I should have reported It to the Police Department.

Mrs. Link appeared to want to avoid only notoriety. I understood Dr. Jones to say that he would see Dr. Baldwin In the evening." Dr.

Jones' Testimony. Dr. C. Frank Jones stated that he had no conversation with Mrs. Link about keeping the matters out of the papers and that he gave no instructions to have the body embalmed; that he was there simply In the capacity of a physician.

He said he went to Coroner Baldwin's at 8.30 P. M. Monday, but that, finding only, the servant home, he left his card with the request that Coroner Baldwin should call him up that night or the next morning; that he wished to "6peak to blm about a death." Young Toner's Story. It was 11.20 o'clock when Arthur Toner was called to the witness-stand. As he entered the room all eyes were turned toward him.

Mr. Toner on taking his seat, crossed his arms, and, while he appeared somewhat nervous, he answered all questions put to him In a calm voice. He began his testimony by saying he was a student of civil engineering at the University of Virginia, was 18 years old, and had lived In Baltimore all his life. "I met Mrs. Link," he said, "about one or two weeks ago, at her house, where I went one evening with Miss Taylor.

"As for Miss Taylor, I met her about two years ago at her boarding house, 1210 West Fayette street. I saw a good deai of her the beginning of -this July, when I came home from college. I suppose I saw her about four or five times a week. She was then at 518 West Mulberry street. I also leuiMM 112 TO 122 NORTH EUTAW STREET.

BIG INCREASE IN IMPORTS Collector Stone Says Business At This Port Is Gioiring Rapidly. The collections of Import duties for August at the port of Baltimore show a marked Increase over the receipts for the corresponding month of last year. Collector Stone, in speaking of the collections for the month, said: "We have closed the month with a greater increase of cash to the credit of Uncle Sam than for many years previous. The business at this port has shown a marked increase. There is no particular activity in any one class of importations, but all along the line the business has grown steadily.

"For the first day of September, which was on Saturday, our receipts were $18,000, 8S against $3,000 for the same date in 1S99. It may be Interesting to know how the port has Increased during the past five years, as shown by the following table of collections: 1S96, 1S97, 1898. 1S99, 1900, $297,716.27. "Eighteen hundred and ninety-six and 1897 were the last two years of my predecessor's term, and the? years 1S9S, 1S99 and 1900 are the first three years of my term, showing an increase of nearly $120,000 over my lirst year and of about $45,000 over my second year." Collector Stone Issued orders on Saturday that bonded warehouses Nos. 8, 9, 34 and 35 would be kept open today, notwithstanding it is a holiday.

This order is made necessary, said the Collector, by the fact that there Is much work to be done, and by closing would disarrange the plans of inspectors. BIG APPETITE FOR PEACHES Baltimore Has Consumed All Sent To This Market. Baltirnoreans have shown an enormous appetite this summer for peaches. Practically all shipments to this market are being taken for the local demand. The West, which formerly took care of the surplus in this market, this season raised a big crop of its own.

Georgia peaches opened the season about July 1, and -two weeks later were crowded out by the Eastern Shore fruit. The receipts have been running from to 75,000 packages a day, and these were usually cleaned up soon after arriving. Canners have been buying in larger quantities, and, excepting occasional gluts, when arrivals were excessive, have been paying higher prices than for years. The heavy demand from this source was due to the fact that canners generally had no stocks of canned peaches. This trade has also shown a disposition to protect Its interests In case of a bad crop next year.

The Eastern Shore peaches, with the exception of a few kinds, notably of the Smock variety, have been nearly all marketed. The Western Maryland peaches are now coming on the market, and, with the return of housekeepers from their summer vacations, these varieties will be in demand for preserving. THINKS THE CENSUS IS WRONG Health Commissioner Bosley "Will Not Base Death Rate On It. Health Commissioner Bosley does not propose, for the present at least, to accept as correct the population of Baltimore given out by the United States Census Bureau. The census recently taken places Baltimore's population at nearly 509,000, while the Health Department's estimate of the population Is 541,000, or 463,000 whites and 78,000 colored.

To accept the figures of the United States census would result in the increase of the weekly death fate, which Dr. Bosley Is not desirous should occur. For instance, the death rate last week per 1,000 of population on the 541,000 population basis was 19.70, while on the basis of the census returns it would be 20.9L This increase is enough to make Dr. Bosley hesitate to accept the census returns as correct and to base the city's death rate thereon. The deaths reported In Baltimore.

last week numbered 205 as compared with 186 for the corresponding week of 1899. The death rate per 1,000 for the whole population was 19.70; whites, 18.53; colored, 26.66. The principal causes of death were: Cholera infantum. 25 30 11 Bright -s 13 Heart disease. 9 Typhoid feTer 7 3 Brother Edward Gorman, formerly director of St.

Martin's Male Academy, Fulton avenue, writes to The Sitn from Day-toD, Ohio, as follows: I am surprised that Baltimore is not accredited with at least 550,000 inhabitants. 1 hare been reading some of the comments in The Sun sent by some prominent citizens. They are correct in saying the census men have not done their whole duty. No census man called at 2D North Fulton avenue from June 1 up to July 23. There are fire citizens living in that house.

Fulton avenue is no out-of-the-way place, and it was overlooked. Bow about the census man In ont-of-the-way places? WANTS ONLY THE BEST HOSE Chief McAfee Unable To Draw Specifications As Desired By- Board. The Fire Board on Saturday considered the specifications for hose for the Fire Department. About 7,000 feet are needed and Chief Engineer McAfee recommends that only the best hose be purchased. He reported to the board his Inability to draft specifications which he could indorse that would not prevent some manufacturers from bidding.

Secretary Wilkinson was directed to draw up the specifications. Laddermen Frank Carr and James Mc-Gee were before the board charged by Captain Malcolm W. Jordon, No. 10 Hook and Ladder Company, with uslngdisrespect-ful language toward each other and almost fighting in quarters. Ladderman Carr was deprived of one's day's holiday and will be reprimanded by the Chief Engineer.

Ladderman McGee was deprived of one day's holiday. William T. Newell, 1325 Greenmount avenue, was selected a substitute, subject to physical requirements. The application of Samuel Hughes, 765 West Pratt street, to be elected a substitute was ordered to be returned to him. He Is not of the regulation height.

CONTRADICTIONS AT INQUEST Young- Man Tells Of His Calls On xKlder Woman Now She Says He Spoke Untruly Other Witnesses. In testimony that flatly and circumstantially contradicted that of Mrs. Ada Link, youngArthur Toner may have revealed, at the Coroner's Inquiry Into the death of VIrgle M. Taylor Saturday night, the immediate cause of the girl's rash act. Mrs.

Link had told how she loved the girl, and how her affection was returned, and declared that she had never seen Toner but once before last Monday, the day of the girl's death. When Toner took the stand he tore Mrs. Link's story Into tatters, by declaring that she had commented adversely on her "beloved" Virgie Taylor's character; had urged Toner to cast her off, and finally declared "If he wanted her friendship" he must break off with the younger girl. Toner's announcement of his determination to cease his attentions to Miss Taylor fol lowed, and the girl was thus cast aside. Then, according to Toner, he and Mrs.

Link became almost Inseparable. He-testi fied that he called on her Friday by appointment, met her in Druid Hill Park Saturday night; and on Sunday called at her house. Toner naively added that he did not think Miss Taylor knew of these visits and the night meeting in the park. Yet the next day (Monday) Miss Taylor went to the home of her "friend who "loved her so," and there she died. Did she believe that Toner had discarded her as a result of her "friend's" demand, and was she aware of the young man's visits to Mrs.

Link? Was jealousy the cause of her suicide; If suicide It was? Mrs. Link Denies It. But Mrs. Link declares that Toner did not tell the truth on the witness-stand. When seen by a reporter of The Stjn last night at her home, Mrs.

Link absolutely denied that portion of Toner's testimony lu which he claimed to have visited her twice and to have met her in Druid Hill Park. Mrs. Link said: "Virgie Taylor brought Mr. Toner to my house about one. week before her death.

That was the first time I had ever seen him. He never called upon me, and has never taken me anywhere. I know nothing about him." Morphine Brings Slow Death. A prominent physician of the city, who was for several years resident physician of the City Hospital, said yesterday: "I have treated probably more cases of morphine poisoning than any other physician in the city. This was simply because of my hospital experience.

"I have never known of any victim of morphine dying within two hours, as Virgie Taylor Is said to have done. The effect of morphine is to fill up the lungs with froth, or water, so that the victim really drowns. But all this requires some time from six to twenty-four hours. Depends On Dr. George H.

Stuart, acting superin-dent of the Maryland University Hospital, said: "According to the late Dr. Roberts Bartholow, of the faculty of the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, one-half a grain is the smallest dose known to have caused the death of an adult. In the same work, Dr. Bartholow states that Taylor, another eminent authority, records five cases where death followed the taking of one grain of morphia. Ten grains will kill an ordinary person, not addicted to the use of the drug, but on the whole the effect depends upon the constitution, physique and habits of the person who may have taken it.

In the hospital we have had persons who have swallowed a vial of the poison to recover. "The length of time a person may live after taking morphia depends largely upon the size of the dose taken. Strychnine and atrophia, administered bypodermicaily, are the antidotes for the poison. In the cases received at the hospital the method of treatment is to wash out the stomach with sterilized water poured into the abdomen through a stomach-pump. Afterward the patient Is given from a pint and a half to "a quart of black coffee.

Subsequently the patient is started walking up and down a room, and this is kept up from three to six hours, while black coffee Is given at Intervals. If the patient Improves sesqui-oxide of Iron is given." The Inquiry Opened. The Inquest Into the Virgie Taylor poisoning case was begun at 8.30 o'clock Saturday night at the Northwestern Police Station. At midnight, as only five out of 13 or more witnesses had been called to the stand, Coroner Baldwin decided to postpone further Investigation until 8 o'clock tonight. The jurors and witnesses arrived promptly.

Together with the newspaper men and spectators, including Dr. Keirle, Professor Tonry and several other men of prominence, they practically, filled the main station room, the Magistrate's room and tha Captain's room, where the ladies among the witnesses, including Mrs. Link, were provided with seats. Th? 12 jurors chosen were: William Shannon, 846 W. North avenue, foreman.

In charging the jury Coroner Baldwin stated that since the case had attracted much attention he had exercised care in selecting a jury of such men as would Inspire the public with confidence. He continued that the State's Attorney's office was represented In Assistant Attorneys Poe and Phelps, at his request.

Miss Link Takes The Stand. The first witness was a tall woman, wearing black silk and lace dress and a large black hat, tipped down over her eyes, and trimmed with black plumes, who gave her name as Mrs. Ada L. Link, of 1819 North Fulton avenue. Before any questions were asked, Coroner Baldwin stated that he would reserve the right to confine the investigation of the jurors to "when, how and in what manner the person had died." you married?" asked Attorney Poe of Mrs.

Link. "Yes; I was marriesTNovember 27, 1894," Mrs. Link replied. She then told how she had advertised for a companion, in answer to which advertisement Miss Taylor had first came to her house, on March 29, 1900, remaining there until May 29, when she moved to Mrs Wilson's, 518 Mulberry street. She had visited her at Mrs.

Wilson's, where she remained until the Wednesday before she died, only three times. "Very Fond Of Miss Taylor." "Were you fond of Miss Taylor?" the question was asked. "Yes, very; and sbe' was very fond of me." "She told me sbe owned a little propertyone house," the witness continued. "She got money from me whenever she needed it. I do not know how much altogether I kept no account.

She was a girl who did not care to work. She was quick-tempered, but very kind and good at heart. She was a high-spirited girL Some days she was melancholy; some days she was bright." Here Attorney Poe produced a package of letters written by Miss Taylor at different times to Mrs. Link. "Have you destroyed any of these letters?" the witness was asked.

"No, I threw them loosely In my trunk. In getting them out for the Coroner I am not sure that I found them all." One of the letters referred to the writer having the "blues." Another referred to $10 Mrs. Link said she had made her a present of. Mrs. Link declared: "If I had a dollar she could have 99 cents." One letter was written in Richmond.

It referred to Miss Taylor's going up to the Courthouse to visit the "Mayor," Mrs. Link said she first saw Miss Taylor4 upon her return from Frederick the first Tuesday In August and that she was looking very badly "thinner and changed in every way." "She told me," Mrs. Link continued, "about a quarrel Mrs. Wilson had had with her and that Mrs. Wilson had told her she didn't know whether her name was 'Worthington or Before moving she came to see me.

She had eight or nine dollars. She was very melancholy. I knew the girl was not. acting right." Stacy Palmer Appears. The witness mentioned an acquaintance of Miss Taylor of the name of "Stacy," adding that she had gone out in the park with him Easter morning.

She thought he had an engagement to meet her at the house of the witness the Saturday before her death. "She told me," Mrs. Link said. THEIR FATAL PLEASURE TRIPS Singular Coincidence In Connection AVlth The Death Of Joseph Kelly A Child Rescued From The Riwer. Joseph Kelly, 16 years old, son of Reserve Officer James A.

Kelly, of the Central police district, who lives at 125 South High street, was drowned yesterday morning in the river just north of Curtis creek and off Basin's fertilizer works. The boy had left Baltimore Saturday on the bugeye Nannie May to make a trip down the river. The boat arrived on: Rasin's works yesterday morning on its way to Baltimore, and in a short time the boy would have been safely home. He was called to breakfast and was walking along the side of the boat, when he slipped and fell overboard. The mate and the hands on the boat made an effort to save him and threw a line to him, but he sank to the bottom.

Todd Preaches The "Gospel Of Content." Rev. Elbert 8. Todd preached at the Strawbridge Methodist Episcopal Church last night on "After Vacation, What?" He said: "The advice of Paul to the Christians of Corinth that each one should abide in the calling wherein he was called is needed In this age of discontent. Each man seems engaged In a desperate struggle to get on In life. Men are eager to get out of the walks of life In which they are Into others that are called higher.

Much foolish advice is given to young men wherein they are exhorted to imitate the great exceptional successes of life and repeat them. After that their present positions are humdrum and only to be endured. "The colored race, true echoes of the dominant race, is possessed with a like desire. Each man wishes to get above his present calling. To the most of these failure is inevitable.

God has somewhat to do with each man's environment, and though some may pass over the bounds the great majority cannot. The strength spent in getting out of one's station might better be spent In making a success in it. Want of appreciation of the opportunities and advantages of even an humble station leads to discontent and "Discontent is a foe to piety and peace. How to make life on the present basis a true success Is the question. The gospel of content Is a much needed gospel.

The discontent now shown to the lot In life needs to turn to our ignorance and prido and besetting sins. "The question which meets ns after vacation Is then the question that pressed upon us before vacation, which is, how to make the most and the best of life as we find It" WILL CONDUCT THE MISSION Rev.

7CZ W. Bilttnws sk called on her while she was living on Mc-Culloh street. The last time I saw Miss Taylor alive was Wednesday evening, previous to the Monday on which she died. I met her at McCulloh and Hoffman streets, and thence we went to Druid Hill Park. There It was that I told her that I did not care to go with her any longer.

She did not take It very hard, but simply said: 'This Is rather a cool Relations With Mrs. Link. On being questioned by Mr. M. A.

Teague, one of the jurors, Toner stated that he had met Mrs. Link at her house the Monday before Miss Taylor died. He also said that when he left the house tha night he made an engagement to call again on Mrs. Link the following Wednesday "in the interests of Miss Taylor." He also said that he did not think Miss Taylor knew anything about. this engagement.

"Well," continued Toner, "I kept my engagement with Mrs. Link on Wednesday morning, and asked her if she could do anything for Miss Taylor, and she told me that she had already done all that she could for the girl. It was then that Mrs, Link reminded me that I was a young man and that she did not think Miss Taylor was a suitable companion for me. Mrs. Link even said that if ever I wanted her (Mrs.

Link's) friendship I must break off with Miss Taylor." Mr. Teague "Therefore, Mr. Toner, yon broke off with Miss Taylor In order to keep Mrs. Link's friendship, did you not?" Here Mr. Toner showed some emotion as he replied emphatically: "No, sir.

Mrs. Link Is nothing to me. She is a married woman." "But, how comes It that after seeing Mrs. Link Wednesday morning, and hearing from her that she desired you to break off with Miss Taylor, you should almost immediately see Miss Taylor and tell her that you no longer cared to go with her?" "As for what Mrs. Link had to say to me," answered Mr.

Toner, "It had no effect whatever on my relations with Miss Taylor. Toner then was asked how often he had seen Mrs. Link after the Wednesday just before the Monday on which Miss Taylor -died. He replied that he called on Mrs. Link the following Friday by appointment, and also met Mrs.

Link by appointment Saturday night in Druid Hill Park. He said he saw her again the following day (Sunday) at her house and that he did not think Miss Taylor knew anything about these visits. Theie admissions of Mr. Toner with regard to the frequency of his visits to Mrs. Link were' direct contradictions to the statement of Mrs.

Link, who swore that she had never seen Toner but once before the day of Miss Taylor's death. Toner was then asked how he came to visit Mrs. Link so often, knowing as he did that she was a married woman, and were' his feelings toward Mrs. Link. He answered the second question, saying: "Why, she and I were merely friends; but we were never sentimental.

As I have said before, she was nothing to me but a friend." 4 When He Was "Banker." When questioned about his acting banker for Miss Taylor Mr. Toner admitted that he had kept $120 for her, and gave her portions of it whenever she wanted it. He said that he never received any money from her for himself, and in paying for amusements and the like which he shared In company with Miss Taylor he used his own money as well as hers. He said that all of the $120 was spent, and that the last $2 was spent by them in "having a good time." Here one of the Jurors asked Toner If the fact that all of the money having been spent did not have something to do with his breaking with Miss Taylor. He replied that it for, as far as money was concerned.

Miss Taylor had $300 coming to her from a mortgage on her house. The witness was afterward asked questions by" several of the jurors as regards his relations with Miss Taylor. Here Mr. Poe informed Mr. Toner that he need not answer any questions which might Incriminate him or degrade his character.

Mr. Toner finally replied, "simply friendly." He was then allowed to leave the stand. As it was then midnight, Coroner Baldwin decided to continue the inquest tonight.
