sEsgLAg DEATH OF A NEWARK POLICEMAN.

Some time ago. in Newark, N. j., notorious out
law apd jailbreaker named Albert ziegeI, was cap
tured, after desperate chase and struggle, by de-
tectives Ernest Fischer ana William Barbes OF the
local constabulary force. In the chase Ziegel was
shot twice and otherwise. injured, SO that it was
feared for several days after that his life in great
jeopardy The fear of his dissolution 80 worked
upon the minds OF both his captors that both were
soon seized with violent attacks or typhoid fever.
Fischer for weeks was low that his recovery
was despaired Of He, however, rallted
and IL now able to move about. though
one Of his eyes has become Affected
so that he will probably lose it. Barbes died on
Wednesday night, and IL is believed that nothing In
the world killed him but the fear of ZieRcs dissou
tion. Why either man should have taken the mat
ter much 10 heart IL mystery for the opinion OF
the authorities and the public IS that had their worst
fears even been realized the community would have
had cause TO rejoice rather than sorrow. The clse
OF these policemen shows plainly the immense
power the mental faculties have over the pny sicl
and should induce the cultivation OF the highest
degree Of healt1uness ia The former.
