A LUNATIo in the Church of St. Vincent
Ferrer yesterday, on being urged to remove
his hat, stabbed in the head the gentleman
who urged him, and then, drawing an axe,
hourished it around quite viciously, announcing
loudly his intention of sending the entire con-
gregation to glory while they were best pre-
pared for it.. This project of forcible saliva
ton was stoutly resisted by some of the
muscular Christians present, the man was
finally secured, and the Intervention of the
police is all that saved him from immediate
msrtyrdom by means of rope and beam in
the centre of the church. The police discov-
cred in him an old customer and took him in.
As a true and genuine specimen of the emo
donally insane murderer he deserves closer
custody than has yet been awarded him. He
has grounds for committing murder upon any
Of us that are too effectual and legitimate to
make him very companionable street
acquaintance.
