HaiiKh, who lx in jail here charged with the murder of hit* mother, father and brother, will probably be called to an swer for a aeries of primes. Being w Cad health and separated from ids wife, l>r. Haugh was living with ids parents, eight miles from Dayton. Neighbors saw tho Hatigh home in (lames t lio other day. When they reached the house tiiey found Dr. llangli In tho yard, having dragged himself ont, lie said, Just in time to save his life, ills father, mother and brother. were burned to death. The lire occurred about I o'eioek in Die morning, lir. llaugh'# account of lb* aifrtir was incoherent, and the Cor oner, after an investigation, arrested tho physician. Dr. Haugh is a "drug tiend," and has often been under .treatment for the morphine habit. It is stated thai when unable to procure the drug his cravings have driven him into u frenzy, in which he has been violent, and on re covering from the attack he has re tained no memory of lus acts. D Is now charged that Dr. I la ugh poisoned his relatives and then set lire to the house. His burns are not seri ous, and it is known that It few days before the tire he had obtained from Cleveland a considerable . quantity of a poisonous drug. It lias been discovered since his ar rest that while practicing In Ljnnt, Ohio, last year Dr. llaugh was atten tive to Mrs. Mary Toohcy. who dhd mysteriously last April. Iler brother is said to have accused llaugh of re taining unlawful possession of some of the woman's jewelry. It is assorted that a woman with whom Dr. Haugh was living in Toledo died suddenly and mysteriously and that afterward ho wmt to Chicago, III., where he married a woman named Patterson, who died under circum stances that suggested poisoning. Dr. llaugh contracted the morphine habit while a clerk in a drug store here fifteen years ago. He graduated from Louisville Medical College in 1802. Dr. llaugh married Anna Eck'.ey, of this city, daughter of a prominent citizen. She entered suit for divorce some time ago. alleging neglect, cruelty and threats of violence toward herself and his parents. Dr. llaugh lias been in a seemingly dazed condition since his arrest, indif ferent to the death of his relatives or the charges pending against him. His only desire is for tho dally dose of thorphine allowed him. The prisoner was arraigned before Magistrate Terry on the charge of murdering his father and brother. He ?was remanded to Jail to await the ac tion of tho Grand Jury, " FEVER DEATH IN CUBA. Mosquitoes Prom New Orleans Es caped From Packing Cases. Havana, Cuba.? The case of II. V. Chi 1 vers, the New Orleans electrician who was taken to the Las Animas fever hospital, was diagnosed as yel low fever. The Spaniard who was stricken and Isolated In the Clerks' Hospital, died there. There are now two cases of yellow fever In the Las Animas Hospital, and' one suspect, a Spanish woman, who was placcd under observation at night. Permission has beeti received from ? the Health authorities at New York City to ship the body of A. . Out water, who died of yellow fever, to his former home at Passaic, N. .T. The slight development of the so-*alled' secondary cases has encouraged the belief of the yellow fever experts that there will not bo much of a spread W the infection. It has developed that tho'opening of some casfH of electrical apparatus from New Orleans, La., which were, con signed to a firm in tho I'ay ret Th'eatrfc building, liberated many mosquitoes, Tho first person to be attacked by yellow fever was a member of an opera company playing at the Payret Theatre: subsequently the disease at tacked an electrician employed in the same building. All of the other cases havo originated in this vicinity, and this gives color to the theory that the mosquitoes from New Orleans carried tho Infection. A QUEEIt WAG E1I.
