AN EXCITED OLD GENT.


He Fools . COIOred Man Badly.
Last sunday an elderly gentleman ar
rived here on freight train from Kansas
City, and when asked for his ticket, as
the train was passing from the junction
to the A. T. & s. +. depot, jumped on the
eaboose and put down the track on foot,
acting so strangely that sheriff Conner
took him 70 the Tennessee House, and
called DIR. TrueWSrthy, who pronounced
the stranger temporarily, insane. His
name was ascertained to be }. A. w. Go
heen, and he had come here from Shelf
aeld, Iowa; with sl6a.88 in his pocket
book, intending 70 Q vest and take q
claim. He had on . suit Of worn out
clothes, and . good new overeoat, but no
baggage or satchel. The sheriff hired &
man at the Tenne-se House to keep
guard over him, and he and the doctor
went away.
In IS minRtes Goheen escaped from the
guard, ran bareIooted and coAtless to-
ward stringtOwn. he Wss scoOting
along one Of our colore6 citizens, Manual
Ray, saw him, and concluding he was an
escaped. prisoner, took his shot gun,
mounted his horse, and soon overhanled
the fugitive, and summoned him to sur
render or die. Cohen stopped and be-
gan to throw stones at his pursurer, who
pointed his gun and pulled the trigger,
but the weapon did not go of. This de-
nOustration, hOWeEsE, had its effect, and
Goheen called out not 30 fire, as he would
surrender, and he quietly came up to Mr..
Rsy, who kindly alighted t9 walk along
sine his prisoner. But here the Iunatic
got his work In by suddenly grabbing the
gun and whacking Ray over the head
with it, and then made OF again, carry
Ing the gun with him Az soon as Kay
recovered his senses he went for help,
and met sheriff Conner and some other
fellow who had heard Of the escape, and
joined them in the hunt.
They tracked 6oheen over to the NeO-
sho river and beyond. he having waded
acrOss, and met him at Taylor creek, in
| charge Of 3 constable who had captured
him On Duck creek. The gun be had lost
in the NeOsho, where It still Is. He was
taken to Jail, where he Is rapidly recov-
ering from his temporary alteration OF
mind. Mr.. Ray viii lock out mighty
sharp for tricks next time he undertakes
to capture anybody.

We have frequently been asked why
the marshal did not keep order at the
post Office, where a crowd Of street ga
Minis congregate every evening, and make
the place bedlam to those who come
there on business, and we now call his at
teptIon to the matter and assert that he
can DO nothing that will commend him
more TO the public than to abste this in
tolerable nuisance. A few arrests OF the
disturbers OF order and decency would
edeetually put stop TO 1t, and Tom
would receive the thanks Of every body.

MURTAGH, of the Washington
Republican, and Ex~Secretary
Robson, are fast approaching that
condition when they will tell what
they know of each other. Robe
son took possession Of the paper
some time since to secure money
he had advanced to keep it out Of
the sheriff's hands. At the late
session back pay was allowed on
some advertisements publish>
ed during Murtagh's owner
ship, and Robson is trying to COL
lect the money, which is also
claimed by Murtagh. IF these
exemplars of Grantism,' says the
Chicago Times, get into quar-
rel, the tales they will have to tell
will throw into the shade all the
efforts of Anderson, Weber and
the JenkseS. 1t is to be hoped no
injudicious peacemaker will inter-
fere to stop the exposition.'- Mems

SECOR ROBESON'S PLUM
DER.
Journal of Commerce,


We print elsewhere the leading
points Of a report by the Naval
Committee of the House, disclose
ing a degree of criminal extrava-
gance in the administration of the
Navy Department during the in
cumbency of Secretary Robson,
amazing to contemplate. The Sec
rotary himself, as we'll as large
number of the bureau officials, are
implicated in alleged misfeasance
amounting 10 robberies, which
have cost the Government many
millions of dollars, and left our
costly navy an object of derision.
For example, it is stated :bat prop
erty improvidently or corruptIy
purchased at a cost of twenty-six
millions of dollars was sold IN like
manner for one million. Vessels
costing tw Give millions were cut
up and sold for $4,000. The
shameful tale will, however, de
mand attention in all its details,
and we need no: further particular
ize here.
