Joining Washington Park, on Elm street. Re-
Gently he has been afflicted with erysipelas in
addition to his eye disease. On Saturday night
he grew delirious, and was with some difficulty
kept in his bed. The nurse had got him pretty
well quieted by 10 o'clock Saturday night. Half
an hour later, when the nurse was occupied in
distant part Of the ward, his back to the patient
the latter stole from his cot crept softly to the
south window, opened it, and bounded into the
park. None of the patients who witnessed the
scene had the least surmise of the delrious
mans intention until it was too late to counter
act 1t. He was hopelessly hurt by the fall from
the second story to the ground. The attendant
had him conveyed to the Cincinnati Hospital,
where he died an hour after midnight.

The reception of the Brooklyn Assemblymen
who voted against tie New York city charter
was anything but flattering on their return home
on Saturday. Those who were conveniently
absent when the vote was taken were viewed in
wherever they made their appearance In public.
One of them had placard pinned to his coat
tail bearing the inscription "Sold for $780,"
which afforded no little amusement about City
Hall square Another was burned in effigy at
the intersection of Myrtle and Franklin avenues.
A placard attached to the figure was labelled
"Sold us out for $780," large crowd of men
and boys made themselves jolly. over the de-
struction of the imam of straw" The boilers,
terday kept away from the places they usually
frequent on their return from Albany.

THE CAPE MAY FIRE.
strange Case Of InccndIarism-An Ex-Wash.
tnHtOpian Implicated.

tnRtOntan Implicated.
The Cape May WdUe OF Monday SAYS the fire dis
covered in the provision store OF Wilson & Co. on
Saturday morning proved to be the work OF an in
cendlary. wilson was subsequently, arrested on a
charge OF having set fire to the building himself.
The case had hearing the same morning before the
sum of $1,000 TO appear at the September term of
court. IL is stated that the accused man, Thomas
X. Wilson, formerly kept store in this city, and
afterwards had a store under the Union Club House
in Baltimore. The Cape May correspondent OF the
Baltimore Gazette writes:--
Mr.. Wilson occupied provision shop on WASH
ngton street. east OF Ocean street. and not far from
the Columbia House, which he had taken for the
season, and where he was pursuing his usual busi-
ness. Like all buildings at Cape May it of
proved that the framework of the building where
the fire had token hold had been saturated in spots
with nnamnable oil, and an oil can containing
Kerosene was found close by the spot. Fortunately
the fire was ext.ugushed in few moments Mr.
Wilson during the whole Of it had been lying on
cot on tne ground noor, near window, in state
OF apparent semi-stupefacton, as If he had been
drugged or heavily drinking. 1t was almost inpos-
sibe to arouse him, Notwithstanding the racket and
noise, and alter he arose and left the premises he
went over TO the Washington House, across the way
and lay down there again in the porch His two
boys, Henry Scholt and Patrick McCuen were sleep
ing at the time OF the fire in the third story. the
stined, unless they could have saved them 9n
selves by jumping from the windows. on
saturday morn morning Mr; Wilson was arrested,
before Mayor Miller. The most important evidence
was that OF Moses Frishy, coored man. who test-
O'Clock walk around the ground floor OF the building
with lantern. then go up stairs, and then come
Gown again and lie down on his coat About two
minutes afterwards he saw light aud remarked
that "either that man is going to have iumlna-
tion there is lre - ard in another minute he
heard the cry of nre." Wilson's own story is that
he knows nothing of the circumstances that he
was stupehed until the next tmorning when he found
his pockets cut and his pocketbook gone, which
contained 5000 or $500. He was himself quite uncer
tain as TO the amount His stock was insured for
$500 in lhe Franklin Firemens Insurance Company.
At the time OF the fire it not worth over $780,
consisting principally of watermeons but then a
man may have shopful of provisions in the MORN
ing, and have little left of perishabe nature at
night 1t is almost impossible to conceive that
man of intelligence should have undertaken such
thing when he had little to gain run so great
risk OF being found out. Much sympathy IS ex-
pressed for the family OF the prisoner, his wife and
children being here for the summer.
