A Crazy MANS Antics.

Last Saturday evening a crazy man nam
ed Kading, for some years a resident of
the city, unhitched Mr.. G. B. Lewis horse
and buggy which were in front of his resi-
dence on Washington street, and jumping
into the vehicle started off at full speed
The family at the time were at tea, and Mr..
Lewis and visitor were soon outside to
see what was up. Realizing the situation
they gave ehsse, bat such was the speed o :
the horse through the constant application
Of the whip in the hands of the crazy nsa
that they found it impossible to head him
off, Quite number soon oin-
ed in the chase after the luny fugitive and
the attempt to overtaks them became quite
animated and exciting. When near the
William Tell house in the 5th ward the
horse fell and got entangled in the harness
so that all efforts of the mad driver to get
him on his feet again failed The dashboard
and some other portions of the buggy were
broken, but the damage was not as great
under the circumstances a. one would think.
When Kading found himself without any
conveyance left and his pursuers close upon
him he ran off but was sooa overtaken.
Fortunately the horse was found not to
have sustained any injury, but as mi ght
be expected was considerably tired out after
the wild run he had. Mr.. Lewis was thank
full the matter ended SO we'll, for st one
time it seemed as if the animal would be
driven to. death and the buggy made mass of
splinters. The authorities seeing the neces-
sity of taking care Of this lunatic has since
had him sent to the County Poor House
and placed among the insane in that insti-
tuticn.

Deaths by Drowning.

We are called upon to chronicle two very
sad cases of drowning which occurred in
this city last week. The first victim was
Edward Mcmahon, son Of the late James
Mcmahon, promising lad aged nineteen
years, who met his death in Rock river, be-
low the dam, about nine o'clock last Wed.
nesday evening. With a number of other
boys he went in to battle below the dam and
sank in a deep hol g that had been dug out
by the current. None Of his comrades were
near him at the time. The conjecture is
that he was taken with a cramp in one Of
his legs, that had been broken few months
ago, and before be could give any alarm for
assistance, sank to rise no more. His
body was not found until next day near
noon. The funeral took place from ST.
Bernard's church on Friday. This case is
one of unusual sadness, young Mcmahon
having been, since the death of his father.
the chief support of his mother, and a
most kind and dutiful SON. AS might be
expected, Mrs Mcmahon is almost over
W he}*ned with grief over the terrible loss
she has been called upon to sustain.
In the locality where this young man
.seta watery grave, some Eve or six other
persons have been drowned within compara-
lively few years, and their sad fate should
be sufficient warning to others. The flow
of water from the dam has created a num-
Der of treacherous holes which are danger
Gus 10 bathers and have proved so often
fatal to those who get into them.
Saturday last son of M. William LEM,
blacksmith, resident of the 9th ward,
was drowned in the river near the Bough-
ton bridge. In company with another boy
the Ii tile fellow was wading along the bank
when he suddenly slipped from the ledge
into deep water and drowned. He was in
his seventh year.
