Sill GULAR DISCOVERY.

A Very Remarkable Cuse--Au Exempt Fire
Dead III IN Clubhouse Four Months.
The particulars Of q very singular case Of death
was brought to the attention Of Coroner Rollins
his ONCE In the City Hail. yesterday afternoon. Pre-
vous to the lst day OF December last Mr. George o.
Colt with his wife and three children occupied p0r-
ton of the house corner Of Seventy fifth street and
Second avenue. About the time named Colt
left home and was seen no more alive
by his family, although dgent search was made for
him. Some ten days subsequently Mrs Colt and her
children left that house and secured homo else.
WHERE but the search for the missing husband and
IA Their still continued without any satisfactory result
Before leaving the mouse, however, Mrs. Colt found
that the door OF the clubhouse used by the family,
which fastened with spring-lock, had been closed,
and, having no key, she was unable to open
it, Very little was thought Of the circumstance
and no eff Ort was made TO open the door OF tho
closet. Iuq uries were still continued every H.
rection FOR the missing man, but without success.
till Tuesday morning. At that time boys were
playing hlde-and.go.seek III The yard at the above
mentioned number, when one OF them in looking
through hole III the door OF the clubhouse discov-
cred man inside, sitting back the seat. with hts
The alarm was gwen, and the door OF the closet
being broken open, deceased Was found III the post
ton d scr The BODY WAS al s TO be
and papers found In his possession. A most sngu-
lar feature tot tine Is the fact that the remains
ted no offensive odor. What manner Mr.. colt
found his way into the closet without the kn0wl-
edge Of any one 10 OF course unknown but
1t IS fair to presume he returned home when the
members OF his family were abed or asleep, aud,
entering the closet sprung the latch thus securely
closing himself in. While there Mr.. Colt doubtless
was taken suddenly Ill., and being unable to call Tor
help died unattended, although his wife and
children were within q few feet Of HIM. MIR. Colt
was thlry-two years Of age and native Of this city.
He belonged to the Insurance Patrol and was an
exempt fireman. He was an engineer By trade and
cnrr iaf 4
Colt was member of theiBeneyolent ASSOCIATION OF
the Insurance. Patrol, The father OF deceased
stated that few weeks before the mysterious dsap-
pearance OF his son he had been thrown from a
wagon and sustained serious injuries to the back OF
the head, which possibly may have impaired his
mental faculties besides producing compression OF
the BRAN. The remains which wore taken to the
MOrgue, have been delivered over to the relatives
for nterment. Coroner Rollins Will give the matter
the attention Which tsimportance demands. Every.
thing considered this Is one OF the most remarkable
cases ever brought to the notice OF the Coroner aud
not che least singular feature connected with 1t Is
how CORPSE could remain for over four months IN
an occuDied dwelling Without being discovered.

BORGIANISM.

HInn Over Eighty Years Old, while In n
SemI-drunlxen Condition, Attempts TO Poison
his Family.
The Chicago Republican of Wednesday says-
The baneful influence of Intoxicating drink on
an aged man was fearfully illustrated in the
North Division at an early hour yesterday
morning.
Frederick Busy, man over eighty years old,
residing at No. 739 North Halsted street. got
drunk on Sunday evening" and kept up the
practice all Monday and up to 10 o'clock on that
evening. At that hour he proceeded to the
drug store of William Hercher, No 373 Lar
rabee street, and purchased ten cents worth
of nuX vomica, to poison rats, which, he eX-
planned, were infesting his house. He then pro-
ceeded home, and having smoked pipe at the
ireside-with his family, consisting of q
widowed daughter, and two grandsons around
him-he retired to bed. His grandchildren
are aged respectively 10 and II years of age,
and sleep in the same room with the
old man. Some time yesterday morning
one of the boys, named John Withhold,
observed his grandfather get out of bed and go
down stairs. The youth, after little while,
followed him and watched his movements. To
his astonishment he saw his venerable relative
proceed towards the pantry, holding a bottle
containing some of the stuff already mentioned,
in his hand. Busy had lamp with him, so
that everything was distinctly revealed. He
proceeded to take down from shelf some cold
victuals, which he knew would be used for
breakfast, and applied some of the rat-kiling
drug thereof The boy having observed thus
much, became alarmed and aroused the other
members of the house. Between them the aged
wretch was secured, and was soon after given in
charge to the North Avenue Sub Station Police
at whose establishment he now remains awaiting
further action.
1t is understood that the old man is addicted
to drink to an immoderate degree, and at such
times is nothing better than maniac. His
family demonstrated with him on the disgrace
of so venerable person being seen beastly
drunk, and no doubt the chiding rankled in his
ancient and besotted mind; so in ''lucd inter-
val" OF devilish malignity he conceived and at
tempted to put into execution his damnable de-
sign. Had not the boy, provdentaly, been
awake and watchful, one of the blackest deeds
in the already ponderous catalogue of Chicago
crime would have to be recorded to-day.
The ancient criminal still labors under the
effects of satanic excitement, and can give nC
coherent account of the reason which prompted
him to the deed of which he is accused. Th,

the composition burns like wet powder, but
does not explode; the danger attending blasting
with this substance is much less than by ordi-
nary powder.
The charges used weighed one and three
quarter pounds, and were put in the holes
drilled in the guns, without covering of any
kind except handfal of fre-clay to keep them
in place. The fuse was then attached and
lighted, when three tremendous explosions
seemed to shake the ground. On examining
the guns, one was found shattered in every
direction from the hole which had contained
the charge, and the other two were more or less
broken.
Owing to the close proximity of the rolling
mill buildings, it was decided not to carry the
trial any further until the guns we're moved.
The agent now proposes to have one of the
guns carried to some place where no damage
can be done, and with five pounds of the explo-
sive merely placed upon the side, tear 1T to
pieces. The lithofracteur is said to have five
times the force of nitro-glycerine, and twenty
times that of powder.
