s; A ASNaULAR CAsE!--At an eatly hour.
yesterday morning, Captain Oa,neroiay
OF the Eighteenth Precinot,i wAs in,
formed that Mr.. Bernard Murray and
his two, daughters, named Rose and
Catharine, aged respectively twenty ave
and twenty. three years. residing At Nd.
282 First avenue, Lad becoms insane,
and were raging about their house in the
widest manner, much to th6% alarm Of
their fsllow-tenants and neighborhood.
On Investigation, it was ascertained that
q few days before. Mrs. Murray, wife of
Bernard, and mother of the two girls, was
taken suddenly i'll, and expired before q
priest could be summoned to administer
the last rites of the Roman Catholic
Church, of which the whole family arc
members. The death of Mrs. Murray,
and the fact that she had died without
the rites OF the church. seemed to prey
upon the spirits of the surviving Nom
bers of the family to a remarkable ex-
tent. They became depressed in spirits,
refusing to be comforted, and spent their
time in lamenting the fate of the de-
parted ono. Despite the utroost efforts
at consolation, persevered in by their
relatives and friends, their minds be-
cnme gradually unsettled, until on
Wednesday night they were found to be
raving maniacs, and to prevent catns-
trophe. the aid of the police was in
yoked. The father and daughters were
removed by the police to Bellevue Hos.
pital, and placed under the charge of
Warden Brennan. They were locked up
in separate cells, and deprived OF every
thing by which it was supposed they
might injure themselves or others.
Silas Pearsall was also admonished to
watch over these patients, with more
than usual care. At o'clock. yesterday
morning, the watchman visited the
cells. and found the patients all right.
On visiting the cells again soon after,
he found Rose Murray lying on the floor,
and. surmising that something was
wrong. summoned the surgeon. On en-
tering the cell, it was discovered that
the young woman was dead. On e1a-
minatlon, it was ascertnined that preyi-
GUS to entering the hospital she had,
during one of her paroxysms, Inflicted u
severe wound on her arm, with suicidal
intent. This wound was bandaged up
when she was admitted to the hospital.
She had stripped this bandage from her
arm, and. winding it tightly about her
throat, stranglel herself. Coroner Schir-
mer has assumed charge of thb case, and
will make an investigation to-day.

other things, that only one-haif as many
children are now born to each thousand
women aa in 1900, and that there has
been regular decrease from one decade

similar state of things exists in other
countries. According to John Stuart
Mill, there has been steady decrease
since 1891 in the number OF children
born TO each 1000 women, both in
France and in England. It is especially
