BRO1HERS BECOME IN
SANE.

1G0 Men become Insane after their bro
tier, aoh0 they lad con faed fer Lsna.
ity, IS declared sane.
On Tuesday last, at Newark, Del,
there was an examination by jury ,inso
the case of David McConaugny, Of
Newark, who for some years past had
been pronounced insane.
Mr.. McConaughy was q man Of CON
siderable property, and some years
ago, after his retirement from business,
his nervous system became shattered
from excessive drinking, and was con.
fined in Kirkbridc's asylum for nearly
four years. About two years ago, he
returned to Newark very much reduc.
ed in health, hut under the treatment
OF q physician he gradually recovered.
He then began to ask his two brothers
about the settlement of his accounts,
he claiming that they owed him some
SIS, 900 or $40, 600 but they committed
him TO the County Almshouse, assert
ing that he was still afflicted. He left
the almshouse, and went to Philadel-
phia, where he consulted an old fami-
ly physician and from him obtained q
certificate of the sanity of his mind.
With this he returned to Wilmington
and CONSULTED lawyer, obtaining from
the part of those who were urging his
Imprisonment.
Since then, Mr.. McConaughy has
been residing in Wilmington and New
ark. This Spring he requested the
lawyer whom he had first called on
after his escape to procure settlement,
but the matter was delayed, and sppI.
cation was made to Chancellor Sauls-
bury to have Mr.. McConaughy declar
ed insane.
The trial came off, as above stated,
VIM. G, Spruance, Esq, appearing for
Mr.. McConaughy and Hon. VIM. g.
Whiteley for the brothers. After a
lenythy and interesting trial the jury
returned a verdict establishing Mr..
McConaughey's sanity.
The strangest part of the affair now
follows. Since the trial the two bro
thers, have been apparently much af-
fected, and showed signs Of mental
alteration. Yesterday decided symp-
toms of insanity were observed In both,
and by night they became so bad that
it was decided to send them to Kirk
DTlue >, WucIc tllty ttuSiEutu t4Cti
brother several years before. This
morning they were placed on the train
for Philadelphia, but soon became SO
violent that word was sent to Chief
Brady to come down to the depot with
handouts and secure them, which he
did. Both men were wild and uncon-
trollable.
One of them rolled his eyes in frenzy
and kept shouting,"I want to confess"
in piercing tone OF voice. The 9th
er who was kept in forward car, ac-
ted in an equally maddened manner.
Their actions created a great excite
ment during the stay at the depot.
By some people this affliction OF the
brothers is regarded as a Judgment
for their treatment of David McConsu'
ghy, but it is more probable that 1t is
simply the breaking out with them-e1
an insanity which is hereditary in the
family.
We are told that the brother whom
the jury pronounced sane is now also
insane.

n,A1 OF WATER WITCH STEAMER ON

On Saturday afternoon, at @ o'clock,
third attempt was made with the
kyater Witch steamer to force water
bver the spire of the Second Baptist
E1burch, corner OF Fourth and French
ttreets. The height of the steeple Is
[hout 1876 feet above the level of the
Street.
The test was powerful one, and In
|be attempt it required 100 feet of gum
,ose, capable of standing pressure of
,yer 400 pounds. The engine was sta
I,oned at French street wharf, and the
nd of the hose at the corner of Fourth

md when the guage registered 125
bounds and the water pressure 800
hounds. a perpendicular stream was
Lrown TO the gold ball on the spire,
distance of about $50 feet. After
his horizontal stream was thrown
,own Fourth street a distance of 175
oct and 8 inches. This stream would
have been thrown greater distance
Ibut for the fact that the attempt was
made after the fire had been drawn
rom the engine.
The most remarkable part of tie test
was water had to be lifted 10 feet from
he Chrisiiaua and forced through 700
feet up an incline of 80 feet to Fourth
ueet. The size of nozzle used was 1
and 3,16 inches.
The distance thrown upon the spire
Vas witnessed by several gentlemen
from the roof Of the Clayton House,
uyhcre the best view could be had, and
lake the test all through it was one Of
