A Liquor Merchant ConseIenee-Smitten
and Crazed.

Yesterday morning a telegram was re-
ceived by deputy sheriff Hanlon, tocome to
Elkhorn, on the Union Pacific Railroad, and
take charge of crazed traveller. The mans
name Is William Beal, a prominent liquor
merchant of San Francisco, on his way to
New York on business. He left home per
fectly sound in mind, but upon nearing the
Eastern end OF the Union Pacific Railroad
he showed signs of approaching insanity,
and upon reaching Elkhorn station he be-
came entirely insane. He threw his money
($15,) out of the car-window, jumped from
the platform and cut up many curious an
tics. Sheriff Hanlon. who had put in an
appearance in answer to the conductors
telegram, took charge of him to Omaha,
and lodged him in Jail. The unfortunate
individual is fine appearing gentleman.
Judging from his rawlings he had become
insane from brooding over the subject of
the liquor traffic, and the evils it entails
upon mankind. He is constantly praying
to God to forgive him for his crimes, and
for haviHg caused so much intoxication.
The sad information of his case has been
sent to his friends in California. Omaha

A PernOus situation.


On Monday morning a painter named
VIM. Mccullough, who was at work on the
Second Sister Island bridge above Niagara
Falls, by some mischance fell into the
raging current beneath. The water at this
point PUSHES and surges along toward the
cateract, three-quarters of mile below,
with irresistible force. All along the stream,
down the brink of the American fall the
bed of the river is thiekly studded with
huge bOulders around and over which the
current seethes and boils as if in furry at
the obstructions. It was down this fright
full channel that the unfortunate man was
swept with the velocity of whirIWind
bis doom appeared to be sealed, for moth
ing short of miracle could rescue him
from the clutches of the angry water and
the fearful plunge over the falls below. Il
seemed as though he must have drowned
long before reaching the cataract, but did
not. In a short time after falling from the
bridge be was seen standing erect upon q
rock that lifts itself above the water in the
rapids. Here he appeared to be as far from
human aid as before, for it was almost GER
tain death to 60 to his rescue. But hero
was found equal to the emergency. and.
amid the widest excitement nmong the
throng who now lined the shore, prepare
tons for his rescue were made. A rope
was securely fastened to the bank some
distance above and Thomas Conway. who
had volunteered for the hazardous under
taking, succeeded in reaching the place
where Mccullough was standing. By
means Of the rope both men were safely
hauled ashore Dir. Mccullough was not in
jured in the least.

General Amos Beckwith, who will be re.
mem bered all over the country where there
are any of the officers Of the old Army of
the Potomac as having supplied them with
their provisions in the dark days of 1861 -'62
and '63, has been assigned to duty in the
office of the COmmissary General. In April,
1861, upon the first arrival of troops from
the North, General, then Captain Beckwith,
was the only officer Of the commissary dep
artment on duty at this point. He was
obliged alone and unaided suddenly to issue
rations of provisions to several regiments of
green troops who came to the field with no.
thing in the shape of camp equipage. Com
munlcation being at once cut off with the
North on the twentieth of April by the Bal

tained from that direction, and Captain
Beckwith was under the necessity of i'm
provising all requisite paraphernalia and
